What are you playing? What are you looking forward to? What have you finished? You know the drill.

In the previous thread someone said that burning a CD/DVD image to a physical disc would save the trouble of messing around with older games trying to get the CDDA audio to work. Well, I burned ジサツのため to a CD and the music still isn't playing. I'm getting sound effects just fine but there's no music, at all.

I can't get it to work with _inmm.dll either since I can't extract the soundtrack, nor find one with working links lying around online.

I've been wanting to play this for a while and it seems like there's no viable options left. Should I just play it without music enabled?

New Masada, new Romeo, new Rance, Sakura no Uta that Scaji hypes as Subahibi 2.0, the PS3/Vita version of Oretsuba that has a new route written by Jackson, Baldr Sky Zero 2, sequel of Reminiscence, personally looking forward to Clover Day's too since it's a sequel to the very good Clover Heart's

If it was actually by KeroQ you could count me as hyped, but since they're releasing in their phony company it probably isn't going to be that good.

About the other titles, there's la dea, the Ikusa Megami remake, Rance IX, new game by DI team, that should be the most anticipated titles, personally I like akatsuki black and hope Bradyon Veda and Hello Lady goes well, also I think Nitro+ will release two titles next year, so it's possible they got one huge hit too.

Finished Electro Arms - enjoyed it, just as much as I did with Zero Infinity -Devil of Maxwell-. I am not entirely sure whether the entire ZI team moved over to do EA, while plenty of similarity about, there are quite a few glaring difference: it has one less heroine and the climax is markedly different - Zero Infinity all ends with battle vs the same Bad Guys and progress up the same road (apart from Mishima's ending); while Electro Arms progress up but do not necessarily walk down the same road. The climaxes in EA are also more tamed and "fun", and the message of being fun are littered throughout, unlike the power-leveling of freedom vs guidance in Zero Infinity. Suppot characters - a mixed bag for both, even though EA has a small cast, they are no really any better in depth nor variety than ZI. The setting of EA, imo, is better than ZI though I think ZI can tell a better story, the best analog is EA is like a weekend trip while ZI is like a journey - you get more freedom for a weekend trip but you lock down and plan for a journey, in sense of story progression. Also I liked how they rationalized their technology in EA (quantum reality realization) and linked in some bits of real life news feeding into it. Personal scoring for EA is 8/10.

Personaly things I'm keeping eye on are:
Dark Lord (It's Izumi Banaya and seems like he's directing it too so it should be good atleast for Banaya fans like me)
Senshinkan (New Masada)
Baldr Sky Zero 2 (It's Baldr, duh, and seriously need to know whats up with Marel)
Ikusa Megami Memoria (Finally more IM)
Reminiscence Re:Collect (I believe in Kinugasas ability to write endings!)
Sakura no Uta (Scaji hyping)
Hello Lady (new Hino)
Taiyou no Ko(笑)
Rance 9 (new Rance)

Then there is stuff like Angel Beats VN and Necomancer for some people. It's shaping up ot be nice year.

I actually am one of the few who didn't enjoyed subahibi that much, but that's my taste, now the other Makura novels? Pretty normal and nothing to write home about. Same thing with DI, only after three releases they got one right, the other two novels? Hardly worth mentioning at all unless he did 群青の空を越えて too, which is the best light novel.

Waiting warmly for Nitroplus to redeem themselves with Necromancer for their anniversary. Also hoping that they've got something up their sleeve for Muramasa's.

Speaking of which, I was thinking of buying a copy of Muramasa's LE, and Amazon got quite a few of them. What troubles me is that an unopened copy costs 15 thousand yen, while an opened one costs 7 thousand. Does the game's virginity really cost this much? I remember people saying that the Japanese tend to be very careful with their games even after they open them.

I'm somewhere in the middle: I don't want to buy it just to play it (though I might replay it to celebrate the occasion), I simply want to have it in my collection of Muramasa merchandise (which kinda exploded over this year after I got a job). Considering that I always unpack my figures, I guess I shouldn't worry that much about the box's state.

I don't think that has ever stopped people from asking for recommendations back in 2010 or in other boards, and that would involve actual, you know, effort.

There's also way too many things available to do a proper recommendation chart that isn't bloated to all hell, and things like moege and nukige are usually best left off to each individual person to do their own research since much of the appeal is highly subjective (that is, what kind of heroines you like and what fetishes you enjoy). There's already a few staples that pretty much everyone knows of anyway, like Baldr Sky, Asairo, Muramasa, Dies Irae, Eustia, Himawari and whatever else gets frequently mentioned in these generals. I'd like to see more people venturing into more obscure works.

One of them outright admitted it.
Though honestly, thinking Marie is Queen Antoinette is tolerable for the first 3 or so chapters (until Ren has that dream with her backstory), considering that she's French, dead hundreds of years ago and because of the whole guillotine thing.

Also, calling the Goddess retarded and an unlikable moeblob is something I can understand, but will never tolerate.

Something I've been wondering for a while about No Thank You, both Kurashiki Tatsuya and Izumi Banya mention on their site that they worked on it but the official website only has two writers credited that don't seem to have made anything else.
Did they use a pseudonym to work on BL or did they just do uncredited work? I already know that the artist is Hamashima Shigeo using another name.

You could say that her introduction was electrifying. Seriously though, that's the kind of thing which makes a side-character stay in someone's mind.

It wasn't that bad. I kind of liked Kageaki in akki version.
But that part where Kanae, Sayo and Ichijou died and out of fuckin' nowhere were alive again in the very end was a little bit too much for me. Well, if he really killed them of course (but considering that achievement which says: "You killed Kanae and Ichijou.", I suppose he did).

Overall I can't say I didn't like it. Rather the opposite. Blade Arts had some pretty nice scenes and I appreciated the continuation of story. Making of Muramasa movie was just glorious. That goes also for mango shorts. And Lovely Kanae-san wasn't completely bad either.

I think it has to do with many VNs that have been brought here had minimal ero content (F/SN, Tsukihime), and some even had no at all (Ever17, Umineko, Higurashi, Narcissu). Most of the western people probably expect the ero to be in a small amount compared to the actual content. Or maybe they're insecure idiots who are afraid of saying they like playing porn games, and thus use VN. I've never used the word "visual novel" with japanese people, though.

Novel
>A novel is a long prose narrative that describes fictional characters and events, usually in the form of a sequential story.

Visual novels do have choices, but the history has a limit to the changes, you can't get past a certain post and the prose will always deliver you to an end somehow. Now with dating sims, you're simulating, you aren't reading any scenario at all, but just 'simulating'. There's novel with dating sim elements, such as LxC where you chase the girl until they fall in love with you, but when they do, there's a script in which the history will go, so that's the difference, there isn't any novel in dating sims to be considered a visual novel.

Why is it even being contested? Even if you've only read two eroge before you could probably notice the inverse correlation between ero/moe content and writing quality. Some people prefer cute girls and porn because they're lonely fucks.

That's okay, but don't try to deny that (generally) games full of porn and moe are shitty.

Except it is. If you knew anything about the industry you would know that some companies churn out a certain amount of moeshit and nukige to pay the bills between more series releases, because those kind of games will at least sell somewhat because of cheap sex appeal. If you're not making a game that doesn't revolve around moeshit and too much porn then you have to account for this by actually writing something that is quality hence the inverse correlation.

I don't know how you can seriously think lack of H content can somehow magically make the writing better. There isn't some invisible scale that says you have to lower the moe/porn in order to have good writing.

Why don't you take a look at EGS' rankings for this month? Almost all the games rated above 75 are moeges or have a lot of H content.

No. The amount of porn is pretty similar between scenario games and moege. It's only Nukige that have a lot more porn to other stuff ratio, and in that case it's the entire point.

And almost all of the best games have at least some ero in them.

I feel like we've had this discussion a dozen times before. I'm not really up to explaining how the writing feels like reading a dictionary. If you don't notice it just regard it as a matter of taste, I guess. My problem, as >>11721276 mentioned, is that the vast majority of people reading Totono, or eroge in general probably don't treat the heroines like obstacles to be cleared. The average moege does a better job of making the player feel guilty about "cheating" on their girl of choice, and it does so by making them likeable, not by hard locking the player into that character. I don't imagine it's common for most eroge players to 100% a moege because they feel they have to. They're going to play the routes they want to because they want to spend more time with the characters. Barring bullshit enforced route orders or something, but that's the devs fault, not the players. Maybe they play all the routes, maybe they only play one. You're not going to convince the people that feel compelled to complete something just for the sake of completing it, because those people don't care.

It's just like somewhere amongst the preachy moral they forgot to insert some good (female) characters. It's not like it's the worst thing ever written. It had some fun parts and I'm not even sure I'd call it bad, but just about everything else does what Totono seems to be so dead set on doing better than Totono, and it does it without trying. Also with better writing.

It's ridiculous seeing, say, a 10000 year old loli vampire having a kawaii complex about her DFC because people like >>11721753 get anaphylactic shock from non-retarded characters.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 12:54:50 2013 No.11722324 >>11722140 >曲名: La eterno It's kinda awkward when they fuck up a language you know. This must be what Germans feel during my chuuni powerlevel slide presentations

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 13:43:41 2013 No.11722421 >>11722324 Or what I as a German felt during Rin's spells in Fate/stay night

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 14:40:26 2013 No.11722587 >>11722421 And how exactly does that not fit into >chuuni powerlevel slide presentations?

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 15:28:45 2013 No.11722736 >>11722324 Maybe is Esperanto. I doubt it tho.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 15:30:30 2013 No.11722738 >>11722324 >>11722736 Assuming Spanish, it might just be bad Italian.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 15:34:29 2013 No.11722742 >>11722738 Well, in Spanish it should be "lo eterno". I just checked google.it and is l'eterno in Italian, seems that they skip the vowel, like in French. So yeah is, Japan being bad at languages again.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 15:36:29 2013 No.11722745 What was the name of that game with a route where two of the heroines get together as a lesbian couple?

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 17:08:32 2013 No.11722968 >>11722742 Considering the name of the game is la dea, I guess they wanted to write la eterna but fucked up or something, but in Italian. >>11722745 Boku to bokura no natsu maybe?

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 20:14:19 2013 No.11723435 >>11723379 Japan fucks up foreign languages so often they invented a whole new alphabet for it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 20:30:02 2013 No.11723465 >>11723435 Well, in origin Katakana was invented for monks and manly men not for foreign languages. Hiragana is for women.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 20:34:01 2013 No.11723479 >>11723465 Hiragana is for the elites, nothing better than being a noble writing poetry in hiragana in your palace.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 20:38:02 2013 No.11723489 >>11723479 > writing poetry in hiragana All kinds of kana are pure pleb shit. Elites were using pure Chinese, esp for poetry.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 19 20:44:01 2013 No.11723504 >>11723489 Yes, so much kanji and chinese in their poestry, especially love poems, Ono no komachi's poems are illegible because of it.

I wasn't trying to make a JAAAAPAAAN XDD post or anything, it's just that while I can notice fucked up English/German, it's not my mothertongue so there's some distance. It just feels weirder than usual when they fuck up the language you speak, that's all.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 20 10:23:51 2013 No.11724818 >>11724777 I'm not a native english speaker, but Leona's english in electro arms was kinda cringe worthy even for me.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 20 10:39:51 2013 No.11724850 So I'm reading Reminiscence, I'm in the middle of the idol arc where MC fakes being her boyfriend, I've just one question, what MC did to Aki (Imouto) justify her being almost insupportable through the entirety of the novel (so far)?

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 20 10:43:50 2013 No.11724857 >>11724850 You'll find out when you read her route.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 20 10:44:50 2013 No.11724863 >>11724857 I figured that out, but so far I dislike her character so much that I'll probably skip her route if she doesn't have a good motive at all, that's why I'm asking, though by what you said I'll only get his past in her route... that's sad.

Well, finding butchered English is pretty easy, but was there ever a game which had good English?

Ever17 had passable German. A few inflection errors, but otherwise pretty decent.

I'm trying to insert this H-code
/HAC@4E5E20 /KF5:100
into ITH, and it's not working. Inserting just the first part looks like it works, but it doesn't show any additional output choices. Inserting the whole thing doesn't work. What am I supposed to do with the /KF5:100 part?

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 20 12:04:14 2013 No.11724971 >>11724963 You are supposed to use agth with it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 20 12:38:14 2013 No.11725016 >>11724971 ...and it still doesn't work, it's probably for an older version of the VN. Thanks, though.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 20 13:11:14 2013 No.11725052 >>11724864 Not a VN, but I liked the english of Nanoha's staff. Talking about it, I should pick back up Triangle hearts. Did any of you read the series? It looks pretty interesting.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 20 13:18:13 2013 No.11725067 >>11725052 Ken Akamatsu's work is also quite carefully done, from what I saw he's only made some minor mistakes. Akiko Shikata to.
