Playing inspire`s Edelweiss and I`m just awed how succinct, graceful and easy to read the writing is. I`m not far enough to judge the story itself, but so far it sticks faithfully to the hardboiled aesthetic faithfully.

I just finished Himakoi. Since some of /jp/ peeps seems curious about the game I will give short review about the game . (minor spoiler)

The story start of quite similiar to Toradora, both MC and main heroine have a crush on someone else and due a certain turn of events they form an alliance to support each other love problems. Akane (the main heroine) treat MC like trash at f first, I suppose some people might get turned off by that since she's also deredere to MC childhood friend . But please give it some time until she "confess" to him, if you still hate her then it's time to uninstall the game because this game revolve around her.

Overall, I really liked this game. The true route "recollection" scene made my cry a lot, not many boring moments and one of the best heroine ever. I don't know why /jp/ called the art subpar but i personally liked it.The soundtrack and songs are really nice and that's really good considering both of them play an important part on the story. As for the supernatural element, it's almost non-exixtent until the true route and they handled it really well .

No matter how much i liked this game doesn't mean i would say this game was flawless. The voice acting is quite bad, especially Kana VA , her voice just didn't match and unnatural. There area some typo and "broken" voice line, good thing they don't happen in an important scene, extras is not voiced, lack of side character and some plotholes. Lastly, the epiloge for true route could be done much much better. H-scene ends and back to title screen? Also, fuck that H-scene, you don't expect me to fap after i cried for few minutes.

Well, if you like pure 青春 romance this game is for you.

P.S: No, there is no NTR.

Haha, I still love that line. The first Djibril is pretty fun but unfortunately way more vanilla than I was expecting. I ended up dropping it for that reason and my completionism won't let me skip ahead to the (presumably) more NTR- and rape-heavy later episodes.

It was really enjoyable and the characters were fun so I didn't mind the vanilla H-scenes. You should just skip to 4, it doesn't have any relation to or carry on from the first 3 episodes except for Luvriel. It has some good gangbang scenes if you're into that.

Yeah I probably could've played it for the character interaction alone if I hadn't been trying to play it for porn.

I kinda wanted to see Rika get gangbanged though.

Maybe I'll give the series another try someday.

The degree of protection this executable has is astounding. It checks for OS language, timezone and does a CD check too.
Why does Japan care so much about their games not being run on filthy gaijin PCs?

I finished Sayuki's route for アマカノ today.
It lasted longer than I expected it to somehow, even though literally nothing happens after the initial drama of the protagonist marrying into a miko's family.
The initial cozy winter feeling was nice, but it wore off as I got more and more into Sayuki's route and the other girls were nowhere to be seen.
If I were to read it again, I think I would probably choose Koharu's route partly because the song that plays when she's around is the only memorable one in the game aside from the OP and ED. Due to the low budget though I'm kind of burned out of Amakano for the moment.
Maybe Sayuki just wasn't for me, but I would personally recommend one of the other two heroines since they seemed to be more along with the theme of the title.

>I finished Sayuki's route for アマカノ today.

Finished Koharu's route today myself and despite how good this title is, it feels like the routes are seriously overstaying their welcome. Good title none the less but honestly once you start dating the girls the only interactions that remain interesting are the humorous ones.

Maybe i'm just not in the right mindset for a slow game like this.

Innocent grey, noir 50s detective fiction.
Liar soft, mostly for Sakurai's stuff.
Asa project's stuff makes me laugh a lot.
Tone works, even if they only have a couple of releases so far I enjoy the quality.
Light, for my chuuni dose, also the resolution feels so good when you go fullscreen.

Not directly advocating OELVNs here, but why is there a prevailing sentiment that only Japan can make good VNs? They're picture books with music, what intrinsic quality could Japanese people possibly have that the rest of the world couldn't possibly emulate? Some of the earliest "make a choice" fiction was published in the US anyway (like R.L. Stine's CYOA Goosebumps books), and VN/LN writing is awful most of the time anyway.

I'm just interested in why people write off the rest of the world when it comes to making content for such a relatively simple medium.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 6 14:10:31 2015 No.12881279 >>12881274 Because the rest of the world try to emulate what the japanese do, style and all, and they simply fail at it. Add the obvious lack of budget and amateur staffs and you get every single OELVN.

The issue isn't that the west isn't capable of doing them, and that isn't what's criticized usually. The issue is that most OELVNs have extremely low production values because they're made by amateurs. There's no way to compare a industry that has existed for a few decades to a bunch of weebs who read 5 VNs and decided they wanted to make their own.

People are just mad because western VN devs give Japanese VNs so much shit and think the medium could be much more. I can only imagine the butthurt when a successful and critically acclaimed OELVN with writing that could match up to "real literature" comes out and people are going to say things like "the west has accomplished in a few years what Japan couldn't during two decades".

No, but when they try to emulate the Japanese style (which they almost always do), they do so without really having read any in their original form.

It's a bit like trying to write a horror book after having read a very butchered translation of a single one - you usually aren't going to create a masterpiece of the genre, especially when so many of these OELVNs lean so heavily on the 'heritage' of what they are.

I had this moment a few months ago and now it has hit again.

I finished Dive1 and I have to force myself to play more and continue though Dive2. I really enjoyed parts of Dive1 but it's just so god damn long and I'm not into gameplay and that anymore.

So I tried playing Dies Irae which started off good with unique writing but I've got to the part where they had meeting in that dark space or whatever and I just don't feel like continuing.

And a few other games I played for about five minutes. Like Kusarihime, Aiyoku, Youtou Jiken and Muv Luv. Kusarihime had more absolutely beautiful backgrounds.

So I thought I was losing interest in everything but I started reading Slam Dunk and Oyasumi Punpun and I'm enjoying reading them, so I just think I'm just tired of eroge at the moment. But there are so much more I want to play but I just don't feel like playing them.

Several sections of Cross†Channel were really heavy for me. I wasn't expecting it to be so powerful since I didn't really find it to be anything special when I read it English, but I guess it goes to show what good writing can do. The ending in particular completely broke me.

There were also 4 scenes in chapter 2 of Asairo that made me cry, with the most powerful being the flashback early on in the chapter. That certainly deserves a mention as well.

Like some anons said, if it were just equivalent to a doujin or amateur scene there wouldn't be much of a problem, but a lot of groups like to act like professional companies (or like they're in a position to properly criticize real companies using their works) when their product is much, much farther beneath that mark.

Also - this may be less of an issue in the future depending on how the translation scene keeps going - most of them don't know Japanese. This means they're drawing from a much more limited pool of resources than Japanese devs, so their products end up sort of hackneyed or outdated. For example: if you look at VNDB, most of the dating sims released last year were OEL, because they haven't caught on to the fact that no one actually likes those yet.

Just stuff like that, I think.

Hating the entire setting of the game is quite a bit more than a certain element. I haven't even started on how the protagonists are pretty much females with a dick or the ever increasing stupid reasons for the entire story to start or that the heroines in most cases can be more of a man than the protagonist can be.

>You don't even have your own favorite ?
Since when did you need a favorite to discuss the games you've played?

To talk about the game's i've played and read people's opinions on games they've played.

Hello /vn/

Anyone know some good VNs with Blood-related Brother/Sister Incest? preferably with some kind of romance.

I've checked out some VNs with that tag on VNDB but after playing them, turned out that they were not actually blood related. Also no nukige, netori or netorare.

Already reading DCIII and few other VNs

Just dropped Tsujidou. God, how the hell this shit is rated 80 on EGS ? The protagonist is an ultra faggot, worst than any generic faceless moege protagonist combined and the girls fall for him too fucking easy. If just by praising someone kawaii~ kawaii~ or yasashiine~ would make girl have sex with me in 1-3 weeks there won't be any need for sex industry out there. Even Majikoi is 100x better than this, Yamato might be useless in fight but at least he use head to be helpful for the heroines and his existence is not only a damn scarecrow.

Which game you talking of? Seem like a game I enjoy. I love a hetare man protagonist which do his thing for a whole game. I have look for a long time to find a game which suit my taste where the man do nothing for the game, many game have hetare man begin a hetare and then do some thing later in the game and this not the game I am search for, this kind of game a shit game in my opinion.

Finished Original Killer Queen, i rate it 5/10 , was good for the twists and setting. There are some points i'm left wondering.
How did Yuuki die in the first part
How did Yuuki manage to play more than 8 games, at what age did she start

Yeah, I know about that, but it still really annoying. Also, my other problem is the heroines is too "easy", I don't ask for heroic "the guy save the girl" from her fucked up problem like Grisaia or some long development and time span, but just in 1-3 weeks and all MC did is just generic flattery and the girls already head over heels over him?

I agree with both of you guys. Its really matter of the author, but most of them do it more like "good friends who hanging all time with each other" instead of a lover. Then again, there is some really good non-h visual novels which doesnt do this shit, for example sengoku koihime (my last all ages game) was enjoyable and didnt feel as an all ages game at all.

That's an intriguing idea. However I think it would also reduce the impact when good, fitting music is used and would otherwise enhance the scene (which happens a lot).

Even though it's "B"GM it feels weird for music to be in the background in an eroge. I think music plays a more prominent role in eroge than in most other mediums.

I usually put up with it, but I don't exactly know why. The music is mostly terrible, especially in moege. Worst thing is when it sounds like straight out of some 16bit RPG. They should really put more effort into that.

as a whole the JLPT is basically just designed to make gaijin feel good about themselves, the only level with any merit at all (and any value in the real world) is N1 and that's basically "can you read and interpret normal Japanese" with a ridiculously low threshold for passing, what the fuck is 100/180 (I got 176/180 when I took it, no studying beforehand etc.)

Finished 魔法使いの夜.
Overall pretty enjoyable. In some parts on the second half it felt like the quality of the writing really fell down though.

I think they made the right decision to keep it unvoiced since it wouldn't match the 3rd person narrative.

I have expectations for the next 2 parts but I'm not expecting it any time soon.

You can read Mahoyo on its own, but you'll probably enjoy Type-Moon works best in general if you also read all of the mythos and worldbuilding Nasu has done with character and world materials that are not in the games. Nasu's writing may be boring at times but I think his strength lies in the creation of his universe. Not the best I've ever seen but probably the best in the medium.

Too bad his universe is completely undeveloped since in the few games he released you only see a small part of it
I mean the whole grail stuff in FSN is just a very small part of the setting and while Tsukihime has a lot of important actors in the setting it's still a 15 years old doujin games that doesn't really develop much of anything at all.
Mahoyo has the potential to develop into something pretty big but the first episode was just a pretty small self-contained story too.

The TM setting in general is all about potential and that's all

>in the few games he released
Yeah, he expands much more on the side material instead of in the games, which can get awkward. Which is why I said that reading the side material will probably make you enjoy the universe more. What does happen though is that you can see how you can link a lot of things between his games. Aoko herself is an easy example, being majorly featured in events in Misaki and tangentially in Clock Tower things and by extension, Fuyuki.

I do agree it has potential that hasn't been fully exploited, though.

Twinkle Crusaders and its fan disc have enjoyable gameplay to go with the moe and there's Princess Witches if you want something more plot-heavy.

I think this is only true for a certain type of people who are obsessive about lore and worldbuilding, who I'm sure are a small minority. I love Type Moon games and have never felt any need or desire to read outside resources about the Nasuverse.

He's also a few years too late to participate in TM power ranking threads, which were half the reason why anyone delved into the supplemental material in the first place.

Currently playing Katawa Shoujo.
My first route was Emi because I just can't resist this kind of little twintailed cutie with such adorable expressions. My heart was melting with every "gambatte~!" pose she would make. Too bad the sex scenes (for what was present on-screen) were really bad but that goes to show the relationship from Emi's p.o.v.

Lilly's route came next and it was really relaxing. Lilly is really beautiful and I liked the deep affection between the MC and her. It's also interesting to have a route without a truly bad ending (though I didn't get the neutral one yet)

I'm really smitten with this VN. I tried to follow the chart to get a bad ending and the "Kenji route" is actually very depressing but it also sounds a bit weird that you have to die because you ruined your chances with all the girls. Maybe a little more thought into this would have been a good idea, as in "you can't feel at home here because you never managed to find yourself a place and as you fall into depression, your health is starting to deteriorate and your parents decide to remove you from the school." or something like this.

Next, I think I'm going for the Rin route because I've heard a lot of good things from this route. Besides, I'm quite intrigued by her.

She dies before the routes branch off so it's canon in all routes. If you don't want to be sad it's probably better if you avoid this game because basically all the character routes except for the true end are sad/bittersweet endings. Actually even the true end isn't all that happy.

How is Tenso when it comes to buying eroge?

I heard they open every package and inspect it once it gets to their warehouse,and I don't want some hassle that cost me money and ends with me still not having my eroge.Anyone used them to buy eroge before?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 13 03:41:48 2015 No.12905651 What's the difference between easy and normal mode in Lovely x Cation 2? I'd much rather just leisurely make my way through the game, but I don't want to miss any CGs because I didn't pick normal.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 13 12:15:19 2015 No.12906880 >>12906863 It's not really something to sperg about. Anyone can easily see it's a VN thread by the screenshot, he linked to this one properly and it has the usual opening words.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 13 12:17:57 2015 No.12906891 >>12906880 Its also not far enough in to make it a big deal to remake, it'd be nice to have it easily searchable in the catalog/archives and for filters.
