That's not my argument. I don't have an argument. I'm just telling you to give it time. You can't judge a book by the cover. And since it seems like you're not picking up on my extremely blunt hint: the beginning is a bait and switch. So really you're being especially dumb by judging it so early.

She is too cute. I stopped reading so I could finish photo kano but since reco love was delayed I guess I'm not in that much of a rush anymore.

I mean why buy reco love for 6800yen when photo kano is 999yen.

From what I understand 2D artist can take up a HUGE portion of a vn's budget. Especially if they are well known. Every CG scene is going to cost money, where as with 3d all you need to do is pay a straight off of a maya/autodesk class 3d animator for new poses.

Photo Kano was janky at best. Enterbrain made magic work with the psp and again with the vita. Sadly they scarified everything just to make it work, frame rate, aliasing, and especially sound quality. I am happy with Reco Love, it just sucks knowing we will never get something akin to Amagami or KimiKiss again.

[Anonymous No.]

The common route and its ending climax were pretty decent, though you may find some parts boring considering how long the main character and co. spend their time figuring out what's going on if you've already played Chaos;Head and know about the Di-swords. Where it also falls a bit flat is in the character routes that you're forced to play through, despite the fact that most of them throw the main plot out of the window and focus on completely different, mostly irrelevant stuff rather than exploring the more interesting main plot from different perspectives. To me the final ending also felt a bit abrupt.

If you're going to call the last twist in C;C "shoehorned", you're either baiting, or you severely lack reading comprehension and should pay more attention to what you read.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15638138
The game in general felt pretty bad with how it handled the murder mysteries and padded out the reveal of certain "twists" considering how central they were for the majority of the game.

I mean Chaos;Head did the exact same thing, and the moment you use actual supernatural abilities as a plot point you can throw in all sorts of convenient, out of left field bullshit explanations. Chaos;Child pretty much half-spoiled how the murders were committed from the get-go due to showing that the perpetrator somehow obviously mind-controlled the victims into brutally killing themselves (though thankfully not the actual murderer), yet so much of the game time is spent with the main characters desperately investigating what the fuck is going on despite the reader already knowing much of this shit from seeing events from different perspectives and most likely knowing the backstory from playing the first game.

Note that I'm not saying you can't have mysteries with supernatural elements, my issue is that the game spent so much repeating and pondering shit that is already common knowledge to the reader. Utawarerumono 2, while a completely different type of game also pulled the same kind of shit with padding out the re-reveal of the first game's main twist that is pretty much common knowledge to the reader.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15638231
There's no way out of that one champ, IIRC only 3~4 in every 10 people played C;H before playing C;C from a poll on c;c総合 last year

For the people who did, you still got several, well foreshadowed twists, from serika to kurusu and the last one being a really well done and genius twist being hinted so slightly and subtle, but yet multiple times, it was still very well done overall. The game doesn't hold your hand to catch the last twist, but if you're not a complete retard you could at least see that the school wasn't normal, or that Miyashiro was different than others, etc., etc.

My only complaint I think is kazuki's route where they had to end it with a deus ex machina(which I personally don't really like, something that shouldn't be controlled, by the luck of god almighty suddenly becomes controllable, etc.), but I forgive it when seeing the whole picture of the game.

Overall it was pretty good.

They didn't. It's just the first scene. She becomes a pretty boring uninteresting/normal character afterwards. Gets a LITTLE better in the route, but even then.. nah. Not better than the main heroines.
Kinda funny though. I was pretty worried at first that it's one of those games with better side-heroines than main-heroines. But that's really not the case here I'd say.

I'm still in the middle of the route, but it's okay. Rather standard and she has some minor moments, but nothing ground breaking. On the flipside this down-to-earth side route has it advantages over the other ones: No main-plot. And from what I've read so far, the main-plot is outside of common just bad.

Or, they could just have decided to make a proper direct sequel without pandering to newbies who haven't experienced the first title in the series and mention that to new players (this way you encourage people to get the first title in the series as well). Or if that's not an option and they wanted a reboot / something easily accessible to new audiences in the same setting, created the plot so that the same common twists are revealed early instead of being recycled and drawn out in the sequel, as otherwise like I said it gets pretty damn dreary for players of the previous titles. Fuck, even the protagonist and main characters themselves were based on mostly same archetypes.

As a result I only found myself truly enjoying the game towards the end, with many other parts feeling like long-winded padding. Most of the supposedly shocking murders, mysteries, human experiments and conspiracies didn't feel that shocking when you already knew this stuff or could easily guess the tricks based on the information you were already provided in C;H. Like you said the game did provide its share of good new twists and plot developments as well, but the path there takes too damn long.

It's a self-perpetuating cycle: They're terrible at English because they get exposed to lots of terrible English.

They also approach English in much the same way that western normies approach kanji. That is, it's just some cool foreign thing to them. Does an American normie care if some Japanese guy thinks that he looks retarded with his name tattooed to his arm using kanji? By the same token, a Japanese writer who's just using English for its exotic appeal doesn't care if some American guy thinks that he sounds retarded with his terrible English.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15641463
It starts alright, starts getting rather interesting, and then goes to complete shit at the last third.

In short, here's the problem: most of the game builds up to some nasty stuff (Meguri, your non-blood related sister, being the one who killed Reina, the blondie) and then drops it at the last minute in a way that just reeks of the writer going "oh crap, no, that's too heavy, we can't let that be the truth", and as a result all the foreshadowing goes down the toilet. Add to that the fact that the characters act like complete morons at the end when the game dumps a wall of explanation in the space of 30 minutes and you've got the recipe for a story that will leave you angry.

The worst part is that if they had just gone through with the climax that had been building up the entire game, it would have been pretty decent and had a surprisingly dark twist which would directly tie in with the title. Meguri's past of abuse and her attachment to her super yasashii nii-san are perfect excuses for her being slightly bonkers, and the drama involving him and Reina and the fact that she was planning on starting their relationship again was an acceptable excuse for pushing her over the edge. I actually liked Meguri quite a bit, but the end of the game really brought all 3 characters down a lot. One way in which the writer tried his hardest to avoid the dark twist was how both the protagonist and Meguri say that they killed Reina. Protagonist thinks he killed her indirectly, Meguri flat out says that she killed Reina. Oh, but wait! Turns out they didn't kill Reina, they "killed her feelings", fooled ya! No, I'm not making this up. We can't have our heroine be a killer, can we?

Anyway, I could probably write several posts worth of whining about how many problems this pile of dicks has, but I'll refrain from doing so. If you're interested in trying it regardless, you can rejoice at the fact that it's a short game with a single route. You get to fuck both girls, but you end up with your sister, who is definitely a cutie stuck in the wrong game.

Unless you are looking for really obscure old games, most games with tokuten will sell for 40-70% of its original price from my very limited experience.

I know some games are very hard to come by, like Kusari hime and Katahane and they sell for quite a bit if you are looking for the original version for some reason. But 5-6 years should be fairly easy to find games.

Because that's not English, but Engrish, part of Japanese language.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15643561

In order for this to be true, the primary purpose of its existence would need to be to communicate words with clearly understood meanings between a group of people who are speaking Japanese at the time.

I don't buy that. It doesn't follow a consistent set of rules, and can be outright impossible to decipher, regardless of your level of fluency with both languages. The argument that the large number of Engrish loan words in the language don't count as Japanese is impossible to defend, of course, but this is because they communicate a message that's very clear to other Japanese listeners. The primary purpose of stuff like that "sentence" isn't to communicate with words and have the reader fully comprehend what those words mean, but rather, just to be present as cool foreign shit that sorta resembles that thing that the target audience took classes in at one point in their lives. They don't really care if the sentence itself is nonsensical. That's not the point.

Engrish sentences are not a subset of the Japanese language, any more than the kanji that all of those EOP blue collar workers have all over their arms are a part of the written English language. It's there to look cool, and that's the only message that it cares about sending.

Engrish is used for decoration, not for communication. It is intended solely for Japanese people who speak Japanese language. They don't speak English and don't care about it at all. Japanese just take cool looking words from around the world and use them as they want. This process is not related to whatever language those words was borrowed from at all. It is a matter of internal Japanese aesthetics only. Gaijin scum can scram, nobody cares.

You're following a structure that's understood by your fellow English speakers. The only thing that you did was switch around the spelling of some English words to something that's different but close enough to be recognizable for our English-speaking brains to figure out which words are actually being represented.That is not what the Japanese are doing, and I have to wonder what kind of stupid thought process led you to try to tie those two things in together.

They'll put nouns and adjectives where the only thing that makes sense is a verb, throw in random conjunctions and breaks, fail to use conjunctions and breaks where they make sense, and use words with ideas that are completely random given the circumstances. It's not a foreign language that looks like English either; this doesn't follow any kind of structure at all.


>>15643991

Formal languages communicate using words with clear meanings.

When you have sounds that have no meaning by themselves, you're looking at vocals being treated purely as music. When you have something scribbled down that doesn't communicate a message using words which are clearly understood by both parties, you're looking at drawings. Notice how the English-speaking community refers to Chinese characters as "moonrunes". That's what language is to someone who doesn't understand the language. It's music and pictures, purely abstract.

They are imitating a language (English), but that doesn't mean that they're using it as an extension of their own language.

I'm sure that someone here is stupid enough to give the following response, so I'll just go ahead and make it for them so as to not time-

>DURRR DURRR U JUST SAID THAT VOCALS IN MUSIC CANT BE FORMAL LANGUAGE

"A might include B; A, therefor B" is a fallacy. Vocals in music might be formal spoken language, however, vocals that project an abstract atmosphere rather than a concrete spoken message are also a staple in music. Consider when a vocalist goes "AaaaaAAAaaaaA". Here's not screaming because he's scared or sighing in relief. He's contributing his vocals to the song in an entirely abstract manner.

That's basically how they're approaching English in their media. It's just music and pictures with a cool foreign atmosphere.

I'd be happy if every game had girls with cute faces/hair and cowtits, with a few smaller chested girls present as side characters only to bolster the cowtits by providing the "less attractive friend" effect. It kind of lessens the appeal a little when you have cases like Senran Kagura, where there are five girls in the scene, and every one of them is equally huge. Big breasts are best when there are small breasts in the vicinity to act as a contrast.

The cute face/hair part is important. One of the things that I hate is that when you're dealing with a cast that has varied breast sizes, there's a bit of a tendency to give all of the otherwise cute girls smaller breasts and give the larger breasts to the blandest designs in the cast. I also notice that whenever they get it extremely right, the closet cases always, without fail, complain that it seems like the character should have smaller breasts.

tl;dr: The best case scenario is to have an adorable ball of busty soft fluff surrounded by flat chicks that make her seem even cuter and sexier by comparison.

I had no idea that was any kind of academic term.

Language is a broad idea. Anything that communicates is language. Hitting a drum is language. Drawings are language. A handwave is language.

I'm referring specifically to spoken human languages with words and sentences, and written representations thereof. They're formal languages, because they have a fairly complex structure (they can't communicate so many different ideas clearly otherwise), and when we say "languages" without context specifying otherwise, this is generally what we mean. Traditional, heavy on the structure... formal.

No, natural languages are not "formal languages".

Stop posting ridiculously stupid shit, go read stuff on "formal languages", "natural languages", "natural language processing". Also you may check some textbooks on computational linguistics and problems associated with that field.

Its funny because you use many terms from the academic fields of languages (from a computer scientist point) which however ambiguate between "natural languages" and "formal languages", the latter being defined over having a precise definition in terms of syntax and semantics.

Language is also just defined as "a set of words" whereas as word is just a concatination of abstract symbols representing whatever.

>baby scripting

Well, half true but also half false IMO. They did all the text in script for the game game. But they practically built an interpreter/VM for bytecode also in the scripts. That's not really easy since they put everything besides essential low level stuff like memory and graphics functions in the bytecode, which takes quite a while to accomplish.

That being said, it's not great programming. They use garbage collection in the game and they got lazy with memory stuff in the game. So the backlog doesn't work when we try and put English in the game because of some memory allocation stuff which we are still trying to figure out. Oh and Mahjong in Ebikore+ doesn't work either with English. Kimikiss has the same engine but we've done nothing to the game other than discovering that fact.

Photokano has better programming in the sense that they put a 3-D engine in the game and actually use the proper Sony APIs to give you text so you can play the game with an emulator and a text hooker. Reco Love seems to be on track with reusing that engine.

Except almost everything has a main heroine with a pair of cowtits and a moderately thick body, and the smaller breasted characters are introduced later or are side characters altogether. However, the effect is more like "more attractive friend" because they made you wait out the "oh yes of COURSE it is another bland as shit cow!" period before bringing in all the tasteful designs.

>Its shape and proportions are what important, cowtits shouldn't look out of place on heroine.
This is very true. I used to prefer big tits (and I might still do now, as I spent the last 2 weeks looking them up; or maybe they just have that wanking value), but I've converted fully to smaller sizes over the years due to the realization that 2D art try to exaggerate them far too much, throwing believable shape, form, proportions and physics out of the window as long as their size reaches a certain threshold, and do everything they can in both the presentation (impossible garment) and the writing (oops you tripped and landed on 'em) to remind the viewer about them.
It's less of a natural dislike and more about the pent up frustration that people rarely ever get them right. Eroge is even more of a lost cause because the artists tend to be mediocre.

There is no difference in using seedbox in Japan, Europe or US.

If it is on a decent hosting network, speeds would be high enough almost anywhere around the world.

If you are fine with setting stuff yourself then get a vps from leaseweb or other decent hosting provider who does not mind piracy that much and use it as a seedbox.

Not that guy but I live in Japan and just torrent shit anyway, though I buy most of my stuff so I usually don't need to. I don't seed new releases and I don't upload things publicly, though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15648134
I see, thanks for the info.
I'm not tech savvy, so I thought a seedbox would be somewhat like a VPN, where if the server is far away the connection would go bad. Heck I may even be wrong about that.

>>15648331
It's just that the university dorm I'm going to live in has a rule that I shouldn't use a P2P software, saying that they monitor network utilization at all times and "Traffic generated by major peer-to-peer software is blocked and monitored on campus." If a seedbox or VPN would circumvent that then I want to get one.

It's not as easy. Connection quality is proportional to the network quality in the whole path of connection. With large distances connection might have to go through multiple networks and some of those might be overloaded or generally bad. This is what impedes the whole connection.
Large data centers which are used for hosting usually have enough connectivity to various huge networks so connections will always have some kind of a fast path no matter where you connect from.

Of course there is also a speed of light limitation but it matters only for delay-sensitive applications. It does not have any sensible impact on a regular file downloading.

Yeah, in the new versions since Vista/7 they tried to make the whole system more sensible and secure while keeping compatibility to the badly designed software and in the end it resulted in a total mess.

Senren Banka finished. (-Rena, but I'm not bothering with that)

The 1080p is quite nice, with mostly good artwork to back it up. The OST is also pretty good here and there. Nothing too superb, but for an eroge it's definitely quite far up.

Aside of production values, the game also features a mostly really likeable cast. I'd say all of the heroines are pretty well done, the side-heroines a bit less but that's fine. The protagonist is unfortunately every now and then a bit on the shitty side.
With all that in mind, the common route was quite enjoyable.

But then the problems started. The character routes.. are barely good at best.
Yoshino (miko) was fine. The plot was terrible here and the ending pretty much as well, but most of the "cute" scenes worked.
Mako (ninja) was probably the best route. Still terrible plot and final part and Mako is also more fun outside of her route.
Side was fine until it branched to the individual parts which was done extremely poorly and rushed.
Murasame (sword) was utterly terrible and frustrating. Wasting too much time on a status quo ending with "I couldn't say anything.." or "I don't know what to do..". Irritating as fuck until you get the resolution(s) which are just awful as well. Then you got the "protag = messiah" among other stuff. This route had potential and some cornerstones of the story behind it were quite fine, but it fucked up more or less completely I'd say. Also is it just me or die Murasame sound like she's suffering in her sex-scenes? At least the background moaning. I skimmed through most of them.

Common(8)>Mako(7)>Yoshino(6)>Side(5)>Murasame(4) = Overall 6/10

Pic related are best girls outside of their routes. I also don't know what to think with them being generally comfy with the topic of sex and such.. until it concerns them. Is this also part of the purity fetish or something? In case of Mako it's so extreme she has the (utter garbage) trope of "I'm sooo dirty p-please don't hate me :((((" in sex-scenes too. Fuck that shit.
In the end unfortunate. It had quite enjoyable parts, but all routes (mostly except common) there was always something that fucked things up. As such it's hard for me to recommend. As likable the girls are, that just kinda makes it worse as you'll end up playing more routes...

I kinda doubt you're able to completely isolate yourself from being affected by your opinions on other people. You're probably just not noticing how it affects you.
Of course it's not a major factor by any scale. It won't change anyone's opinion to the directly opposite one. But it sure can reinforce your existing opinion or raise some kind of self-questions regarding it. I think you should have experienced similar phenomena and you should notice it when it happens even if it happens subconsciously most of the time.

The problem with Muramasa is that it's not just one person. Almost every person who worships it as the best thing ever will label you with the "garbage taste" if you even remotely enjoy high school settings, cuteness or something along those lines. It's almost like they all are members of some kind of brainwashed cult and it's outright scary to be honest.

I used to experience that as a child, but as I grew up I realized how baseless, illogical, and ultimately silly the practice is, so I no longer do today, to any capacity at all. When a fan of X acts like an idiot, even when a group of fans of X act like an idiot, I think "that guy/those guys are idiots" without even thinking for a second that X is in any way bad or responsible or relevant. It's plain illogical. It makes no sense. It doesn't hold up to critical review. It's a childish bias that should by all means go away as one grows up and realizes how consistently foolish it is.

The second part of your post leads me to believe you don't understand how many people troll and how many people react excessively not only on this thread but in life in general. Yet another thing you should learn to do is learn to differentiate between thoughtful, genuine opinions and some dude shitposting online about a popular video game. If you consider people trolling online to be "outright scary" then you really must be inexperienced with the internet. Judging works by their fans is foolish enough on its own, but judging works by trolls and jokesters is even more foolish.

It's hard to say anything without spoiling the main plot since some notable twists are already revealed relatively early on (hence why you should just try it out yourself), but I personally think the game manages to nail almost all relevant aspects of a good VN really well; main plot and writing style, memorable characters, graphics and soothing music.

Voiced adult protagonist who is genuinely one the most pleasant, reasonable and nicest characters I've encountered in eroge.
Alternate history occupied Japan with scifi/magic battle suits and much attention paid to world building, some philosophy and political intrigue.
Very verbose, blood-pumping battle scenes (aside from the first chapter's kind of crappy Tsurugi 101 tutorial).
Heroine routes focus on different ways of perceiving killing and war, complementing the game's main themes.
Most of the time actually hilarious humor instead of just the trite, recycled shit you see in most eroge.
Striking hot heroine designs with memorable personalities and motivations.

The weakest part of Muramasa is easily its first chapter, as there's quite a load of initial infodump relating to world history and Tsurugi (the mech battle suits) fighting and flying mechanics, delivered by less interesting cast of characters, but after it the game becomes quite a roller-coaster. Also regarding your later posts if you really want to know about people enjoying Muramasa; I'm someone who enjoys both heavy plot and pure moe games and I also originally picked Muramasa half-expecting it to be overrated, overly "edgy" game trying too hard to be serious with cheap shock value, but were very pleasantly surprised.

Satsukoi is like 1mb or something.

But... it's NOT a moege. At all. I mean the title somewhat gives that away already I suppose. You die. No way around.
Other than that it's okay. The later chuuni parts were kinda meh to bad, but it had some good parts, and the comedy parts were pretty good in my book. Though it's also one of those plots that kinda contradicts itself later on and seems rather.. weird once you see the whole picture.

I'll expand on a possible perspective with the knowledge you're probably trolling.
After playing Narahara's games, with their verbose fighting scenes, pretty much every other game that utilizes action just seems pathetic. With Hanachirasu and Muramasa, every move matters and has meaning, it's all intense and satisfied precisely because it's legitimate and described in its full complexity. Although a 15 second fight scene may be described over 15 minutes of narration, every sentence adds detail and nuance to the fight that makes each one memorable and unique in its own way.

In comparison, games with short and concise action are just friggin dull. The movements don't really matter because the winner is largely determined by either arbitrary power levels or by whoever the author wants to win. It's hard to feel genuinely excited about action when its so meaningless. Even when the author does their best to make genuine duels without delving too far into powerlevels or some such, it still ends up being either pathetically simplified or just plain dull, or more likely both. It's just impossible to care about a swordfight that is predicated not on actual swordfighting or anything meaningful but rather on... nothing. Just two dudes swinging swords or superpowers or whatever without any rhyme or reason or what have you, just to satisfy the necessity of two dudes fighting in the plot. So lame.

In short: Verbose battle scenes add meaning and depth to combat which tends to be dull and shallow in more "fast-paced" battle scenes.

> games with short and concise action are just friggin dull. The movements don't really matter because the winner is largely determined by either arbitrary power levels or by whoever the author wants to win
Except, that's exactly what happens in Muramasa. Not even single time outcome of fight was decided by what was happening during it. Enemy suddenly power ups when he was almost killed => Protag suddenly power ups when he was almost killed => Some cheap ass-pull of last moment decides outcome.
While short and proper battle scenes are played properly: every character makes single turn and outcome is decided fairly, no last-moment asspulls and deus exes.

>Chuunikids
>Not even single time outcome of fight was decided by what was happening during it.
Muramasa isn't chuuni as I understand the word, or at least there's not too many out-of-ass powerups that weren't foreshadowed before nor is the protagonist and his special mecha some sort of a death machine who is easily able to plow through legions of regular goons. Saying otherwise is plain out lying. Only major exception I'd say is one specific character, 銀星号 in general and the related very silly final battle in true route.

For those who haven't played it, basically put the battles of the game work a sort of like "sword fights with airplanes" while in air, and more like regular sword fights while on the ground with the two getting mixed every now and then. The related physics and other relevant "rules" are explained relatively early on in the game (maybe even too much as the first proper battle's infodump is kind of dreary), and are used consistently from there on. In fact one route in particular expects you to pay attention and make regular VN choices in a few battle scenes based on what you've learned before about air and sword fighting, or making educated guesses based on other factors. The game even jokes if you pick some chuuni bullshit like "sixth sense" as a counter-strategy.

The mechs themselves, while they're separated into 数打 (purely mechanical, most of the time lower quality used by non-characters) and 真打 (sentient and come with certain bullshit magitech powers), the latter aren't some sort of nigh invincible destroyers stealing all the limelight that I originally expected them to be, since aside from their certain powers they're restricted by the same general rules of flight and sword-fighting, meaning the battles against skilled 数打 users are also treated as big deals from the get-go.

In short, battles wise Muramasa is a fresh break from the regular anime battle cliches and sudden "finding your own hidden power" moments (with few exceptions as mentioned before). The writer really paid attention to world building, not only in history and background but also in making up a believable system for fights.

>>15653934
Sometimes there are works of fiction where you feel that the author has honed his skills for his entire life just to bring that story to reality. I felt it with Tolstoy’s “War & Peace”, got a glimpse of it in Dostoevsky’s “Crime & Punishment” and got completely overwhelmed by it in Full Metal Daemon Muramasa. From the authentic-sounding ancient Japanese prose, to a meticulously constructed alternate history of early 20th century and carefully researched martial arts of real samurai; you simply can’t make a story so vast and this profound unless you sacrifice majority of your life researching and contemplating the subject matter. Muramasa is a masterpiece, and it sends shivers down my spine just imagining what Narahara Ittetsu, a certified master of ancient Japanese martial arts and by no means a professional writer, had to go through to bring this grand work to life.

Chuuni just means (as far as I know):
-A small group fights something "supernatural" with their own "supernatural" powers, but most people don't realize this happens
-Usually the protagonist needs to be special in SOME way

Everything else is more or less open. It doesn't even have to be battle focused or anything. Something like Sekien no Inganock qualifies as chuuni as well.
The idea behind chuuni is just the "special snowflake" style. The character is special and unique in some ways and fights something most don't even realize exists. The "wish" to be suddenly in something different than the boring everyday life. This idea is taken as a (usually serious) story where the protagonist is in exactly that position, by choice or not.


That said, while that's the idea, the "chuuni genre" got a few more common traits in eroge over the years. And one is definitely "adult themes". Gore, sexual assault, death of heroines.. such things aren't too rare in eroge chuuni games I feel. Fate Stay Night is probably one of the most commonly known chuuni works, and shows quite nicely what different directions that can go with its three routes.

Are your perhaps implying Muramasa doesn't have its share of emotional moments or a good plot and that people only praise it because of "style"? Even if you don't like longer than usual verbose fight scenes, there's plenty of investigation stuff, philosophy waxing, drama, heroines with good characterization, action, political intrigue, humor scenes, good production values etc. that I'd assume most people consuming VNs or any other fictional media are capable of enjoying, hence why I was trying to argue the fact that Muramasa manages to nail many relevant parts of a good VN right in >>15651284

Despite people who haven't played it but have heard about the "kamige" status falsely assuming that Muramasa is some sort of edgy and constantly verbose mech game focusing mainly on battles (probably partly due to the fact how much people praise them), much of the game time is actually spent with other types of plot and character interactions as well. Not saying that you're one of those people, I was describing my own initial expectations before actually playing Muramasa.
