Previous thread: >>17605695

This thread is for the discussion of untranslated Japanese visual novels.

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

If you looked back, the first trailer of Heart didn't showcase any air move either. IIRC they started showing air combos around the third trailer. Besides, devs usually don't play their own games as well as hardcore players do, and that has been proved since Sky and Heart. Right now it's still too early to judge it.

I really liked the art in Golden Hour. I wouldn't call it more realistic per se, but the bright colors are definitely toned down compared to the bright & flashy art style you normally see. After seeing hot pink and platinum blonde heroines side by side nearly every game, seeing the comparably muted hair colors in GH was a breath of fresh air.

I think the art was especially strong during the H scenes. Not only was the PoV a little bit different than normal, but I really liked how the artist gave almost every H scene that "dim room" look. Most people don't have sex with a spotlight on them, which is understandable in a VN so you can actually see the action, but I think most studios go too far. Golden Hour strikes a nice balance between brightness and realism.

Compare that to say, something like this pic from Ginharu. They are having sex at night, but the lighting looks like its daytime. And their skin looks flat like they are Ken and Barbie.

I honestly wished more studios followed More/Nico's example and paid more attention to the lighting when it came to H. Done badly and it is really noticeable imo, but I guess most otaku probably don't care do they?

Seconding that, the porn was pretty damn good in a lot of ways, lighting being a major and un-used one.

Another one is debatable and personal opinion of course, but the MC doesn't sit there like a mute log while the girl describes things at him, there's a lot of proactive give-and-take to the narration. For me, two people wanting each other is way hotter than the usual "pretend he doesn't exist until the obligatory two-line 'uhnnn cominggg' at the end".

Man, Oretsuba is really incredible. The game has a way of really pulling you into the game from the start. The narration is fun to read and all the dialogue really brings life to the characters in a way that feels different from other games. I imagine it only gets better as it goes on, it's great when a kamige manages to live up to the hype.

It's a pretty good coming of age-romance-character-drama type deal. A bit more, I wanna say "realistic", but I know how well that word goes over here. I haven't done the plot routes yet though so maybe it falls through there, but it's definitely got an actual love story.

done with Ruri, top tier cutie patootie
made me very happy indeed that she kept her fun and genki personality for almost the entire thing, and even the route itself wasn't half bad. and good lord, those h-scenes

may or may not have awakened something dark and terrible in me watching that asshole get cucked, publicly humiliated, then double humiliated by two cripples and a girl, holy shit that felt gooood

guess I'll try and go for best girl Risa, which I'm assuming is like a bad end spinoff of Suzu's route?

not really looking forward to Natsumi to be honest, nothing about her appeals to me at all. maybe she gets better. I'd rather have a bro route instead, bro character is a legit good friend through and through.

and I agree her H scenes were the best. Although one of Natsumi's scenes was reallly good too, iirc the second one. The one where she's laying on the bed on her stomach. It's such a rare and underutilized position in eroge. YMMV though.

If I answer that it's gonna be out of context spoilers, just so you know. be advised, etc.

They go on "break" after MC and her have sex for the first time, but they're still technically "dating" for a week or so before things inevitably get complicated and then it ends. It's pretty fucking tame overall as far as girlfriend-stealing goes, if that's what you're wondering.

I actually don't know and am kind of worried by this. I'm assuming they'll break up anyway since the guy's a cunt and most characters involved know he's a cunt. I'd thought the same, but it ends up being a lot more messy. Which was more interesting for me. And kinda hot.

Should've done it the other way around. It actually has some of the very little funny stuff of the game in it.
Though yeah, I can't tell you either why Sasa made such a major "change". It's most likely just that she never had screentime and they reduced her to one trait because of that... or something. Well, shitty writing and whatnot. Not like Marshmallow was good, so it's in line I guess?

But damn, it's really a VN where ctrl is your best friend. Pretty amazing and sad at the same time. Don't like drama in common? Skip the whole arc, you won't ever feel like you skipped anything. Don't want the way too long ero? Skip it. Only ero? Skip the rest, not like you'll miss much. Part of it is somewhat usual for eroge, but I feel it's both way more needed and with less issues in this one than what you normal have.

The only weak parts of Oretsuba are the individual character routes. They're pretty short and only serve to give a little closure to each one of the main characters. The common route and true route are absolutely amazing. 10/10, if I had to pick a favorite eroge I'd probably pick Oretsuba.

Sorry but I just have always found the vigorous umineko anti circlejerk pretty interesting. I didn't think the game was the best thing ever or anything, it had its failings. That being said, it did many things right and if anything can be praised for a top tier soundtrack, some good characters, and some very high ambitions that I wish even 5% of eroge coming out these days had.

I guess this is exactly what I can't understand. Yeah, the writing was easily the worst part of the game. But everyone that's part of the anti circle jerk is seemingly never able to just be like "Yeah I didn't like the game." They always seem to despise it or loath it.

Games come out all the time with horrible writing but other aspects that are well done and you won't see many people despising them. I just can't see this as anything but another classic case of "something I don't like is popular so I have to shit on it whenever I get the chance."

I want to retranslate Fate/Stay Night so that I can talk to plebs about it without having different versions of the story in our heads, but I'm currently in the "good reading comprehension, but not good enough to reproduce semantics reliably" Japanese skill level, so any translation I make would only be significantly different from the existing one in terms of readability, whether it's better or worse. That's increasingly off-topic, though.

I think Umineko is a very flawed game, but I think I enjoyed it in the end. It's one of those games where you kind of have to think about it for a while to really enjoy it, which is probably why it ended up getting hated a lot. For what it's worth, I really loved the meta-aspect of it with the ending, I thought it was damn brilliant, because you could go back through the entire story and it was like you were reading a different story when you had the ending in mind. It added a completely new layer of depth to the entire story. I have 0% doubt in my mind that R07 had the ending in mind when he started writing the game. I have a hard-on for rereadable shit like that.

One solution is to find a direct download usually from a chinese site. Recommend playing on a VM for those.

Why? TG gets information from almost every stores except a few ones like sofmap. So yeah it might sold a little more with them, but this goes for other titles as well. Its pretty much the most trustworthy information about the eroge sales. Aperia is not at getchu's top 10 for july as well so I dont think there is any doubt about this.

And unfortunately eroges dont really sell in a longer period of time, as a couple of companies have said, most of their sales comes from the pre-order thing. For example I'm pretty sure that aperia wont be at August's sales chart as well, Only yuzusoft - August tier companies' games were able to do it so far.

Most likely they already created the Fandisc with the original game, like "Hey lets not add those two sub character routes to the original game, we can split them and get more money with it" mind and trying to sell before people forget the game itself.

Maybe. Sometimes good games dont get the sales they deserve though, Fureraba is a very good example. Personally I really enjoyed the game and most of people here seems to like it as well but it sold only 380 points. Well one point was meant to a higher sales back then so its still okayish though.

Another example is Totono, with 219 points it was literally lower than every shit at 2013.

I agree that it isn't optimal generalizing everything in one stroke of the brush as the English community. That being said, going by steam reviews is moronic. As I've been saying, the vast majority of people who don't speak Japanese who have played that game did so through steam. That isn't the case for Senjou. I don't even like G-Senjou either, this is just reality. Their popularities overall are not comparable. Now if you want to get into recent popularity, then sure Fata takes the cake because it is new and got a giant surge when it was released.

i think there's a bit of a simplification going on from both sides here, it's important to understand to context. G-Senjou's release on Steam was fairly controversial for a few reasons;
1. Cut H
2. Cropped
3. Voices sold separately
take all of this along with Sekai's god-awful PR (with their tendency to insult their customer-base and whatnot) and i can see people being reluctant to support it at all. however, i can also see the other side of the argument, because frankly G-Senjou is a shallow as fuck visual novel anyway. i practically never see it discussed anymore desu

The argument could be said that the problem with Umineko is the size of its lasting following. For Key and Type Moon's works it makes sense, since the depth is justifiable to the people it panders to, but Umineko's depth is basically a really long drawn out version of any remotely controversial mystery story. It's directly inferior to other mystery works aside from the spectacle. And spectacle doesn't seem to be a reason for a visual novel to have a long lasting mindshare. So why? What is the actual reason? Is it because of the Higurashi anime priming people for it? Is it because of the music? Is it because it was talked about to such an extent at the time it was coming out, and so few things filling its niche got localized since then that it remains the most recent relevant example of its kind?

Umineko's depth was one of the better thing's about it. You can form theory after theory about the mystery and that's the beauty of it. You may not like it, and personally I have my thoughts on the story and I keep it at that, refraining from coming up with tons of theories. But it's certainly understandable why its fans continue to talk about it even now. If there's one thing that Umineko lent itself well to, it's discussion and debate among its fans.

Rakuen no Shugosha is really refreshing. A serious war story with zero female or romantic preference, which is pretty much unheard of in VNs. Ultimately too short to be THAT meaningful, but still a solid read with surprisingly great art direction and fresh assets throughout the entire novel.

I don't hate them but it feels like there's a lot of wasted potential. Their titles have decent art, good seiyuu cast, and the characters are fairly well-designed with fun personalities, but unfortunately as soon as the common route everything fell apart with shitty drama that came out of nowhere or so mind-boggingly stupid that it pretty much destroy whatever goodwill the characters garnered. Also the contents are unnecessarily long with not-so-good writing, culminating into a rather frustrating experience.

Damnit man you make it sound so good.

You know, speaking of such things, I'm honestly shocked there aren't more VNs that deal with idols in a serious way. I know im@s and LL! exist but you'd think an eroge dev would've attempted to make a VN about idols and have the MC be a manager or producer or whatever it is. Or has this already been done and failed horribly?

Something like that would be a lot more interesting than another high-school rabu story. Imagine a VN where the MC is the manager of several idols/models/cosplayers/whatever and their fate is in his hands, etc etc. It could probably get away with being darker than im@s or LL with a pragmatic MC in a cutthroat business.

Sounds too risky, let's do another high school setting instead!

The problem as far as I can tell is that there doesn't seem to be much of a market for anywhere in between the two purity-corruption extremes; either people want their idols squeaky clean or else drug-addled gangbanging prostitutes. Which sucks because it's real hard to give either of those the nice little dab of realism that makes it much hotter.

Though I dunno, I don't read much in the way of nukige since the titles alone make my soul hurt but maybe there's some better examples there. I feel like it's mostly too far off into the deep end, however.

Not that guy but most people view their first reading of something as the best experience. You might read something again to catch more details and see foreshadowing, but it will never surpass the first time because you already know what's going to happen. You most certainly can waste something good due to your lack of understanding of the language. Knowing enough to see what major plot points are happening but not enough to understand any intricacies can harm one's enjoyment.

I think that's just a matter of opinion then. I've read and re-read a lot of things, and usually I find that if a work is good, then the re-read is just as valuable as the first read.

I mean there's quite a few of eroge devs out there that make more 'serious' VNs, but maybe you are right. The Japanese treat their idols pretty seriously so maybe eroge devs are just scared of pissing off their fanbase. But they don't have to use idols; models would work just as well but do they have the same ultra-purity stigma that idols have? Plus with models instead of idols, the devs wouldn't have to spend $$$ on tons of insert songs or rhythm minigames.

I can already picture a game like that Risa poster imagined: the dating sim elements of the Cation series (city map, acquiring new items/outfits, limited time items, etc) in a standard VN package. Maybe even add a 'sex trainer' section a la メイクMeラバー.

The heroines could all be different kinds of models (lingerie, clothes, shoes, etc) with an up-and-coming producer MC on the scene. Maybe the MC's big break was when he got his (imouto/childhood friend) to be his test model and became ultra popular on pixiv/twitter. He could then try to recruit girls into working for him. They could make it pure, or fairly dark.

It's a shame devs would rather play it safe than try to do something original.

That sounds pretty great, maybe some kind of "badness" slider effect where you can choose to go down the darker paths of corporate backstabbing or blackmailing rivals with compromising photos you set up yourself, or try and make it while keeping your hands (and your models) clean. That stuff really only works well when you have the option not to, and opposites to contrast it against. Having the only pure models in a dirty business means much more than when no one on the scene has ever even heard of a penis before.

We're probably wandering further into game/raising sim than VN territory but either way this is very appealing to me.

bleh. It's just not the right medium for adventurous stuff. Which is apparently everything that I like.

Yeah. Something like that. Appeal to different types of fans with different degrees of depravity.

My understanding is there isn't really a divide between models and idols, model work is also considered アイカツ. In any case the ultra-purity thing only applies to popular real idols, you can do whatever you like with your own fictional 2D idols and no one will mind.

Just kidding, I do agree with ya though. I know expecting realism from VNs is a futile endeavor, but a man can dream, can't he?

Another thing that grinds my gears is when the MC starts out not going to school for whatever reason, but then is pressured back into enrolling again. See Mashimaro for a recent example. Fuck you Kanon, and fuck your 'fulfilling school life'!

I held down the ctrl key for everything that didn't involve blonde finn teasing and I still felt cheated and annoyed by Marshmallow's story.

I mean I used to tell myself the school thing was just a lazy shortcut way to have a reason for the MC to be interacting with multiple cute girls on a daily basis, but they really do need it in some deeply ingrained psychological way. Can't get off properly if they're not thinking about half-assing the answers on their career choice forms. Entire h-scenes that are just the girl leaning over and seductively whispering "文化祭" into their ears.

okay that's enough bitching from me. still mad about Risa, but that was expected.

Japanese eroge devs have an almost instinctive urge to write side characters better than they do the heroines. Some claim that the side charas are better precisely because they don't have a route, but is that really all it is?

It wasn't so bad in Mashimaro, where Shizuka only ranked 3rd place in the poll. Compare that to sukisuki where Maya blew the fuck outta everyone but Yuuki in the polls. I guess we instinctively want what we can't have.

Man, every time I see WA2 being brought up it makes me want to read the game again. Everyone always says that WA2 was long as fuck, but playing the game it really didn't feel that long.

I've never read any of Maruto's other games, but do any of his other games even remotely touch the impact that Kazusa's true route had? Other than that, I remember really enjoying Setsuna's closing chapter route. Did Maruto ever do anything similar to that in his other games?

Hatsukoi spoilers. I'm really glad I played this game. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. All the characters were fairly likable, and Anzu particularly was an angel. It was no masterpiece or anything, but I still can't help but feel that melancholy that arises when I realize I'll probably never play something that feels exactly like that again.

I only did 4/5 routes and I doubt I'll do the last one. I didn't dislike Coco, but Anzu was by far my favorite and after completing her route I doubt I'll be able to work up the motivation to do Coco's. It's probably best to leave Anzu as the conclusion of the game for me. There is one thing that I'm curious about, though. In other routes, it's foreshadowed that they aren't blood related siblings. Yet that never ended up coming up in her route. I haven't done her bad end yet, so it's possible it gets mentioned there. I really hope so, or else I would be pretty confused.

Since I thoroughly enjoyed that, I'll probably start Ricotte by the same developer whenever I get the chance. Hopefully it can have the same charm that Hatsukoi had for me.

Maia is a pretty much textbook example of how the best way to ruin a great girl is to give her a route. I'm still mad.

Message to all the eroge writers who are totally lurking in this thread hoping for suggestions from thankless gaijins: when you vote for a side character in the hopes she gets a fandisk route, it's because you liked her and wanted more of what you saw + some (more) sex scenes. Not because you want to find out she's actually not at all like that and in fact her true personality is entirely different.

Don't be ridiculous, gaijin friend, it's common knowledge that girls are only attractive if they're concealing a secret deep personal trauma. No one wants to have a relationship with a normal girl who is what she seems to be, that would be absurd.

I liked Damekoi more than WA2 desu. The heroines are some of the most memorable I've come across and the protag is an adult too, It's more of a comedy though, but it does have it's touching moments. Parfait and Mama Love are pretty good too (but again, the tone is a bit different from WA2) and Konnyaku is one of the most renowned eroge among the Nips even though nobody has noticed it here (I haven't read it yet either). I can also safely recommend Saekano, the LN he's currently working on, though I do prefer his eroge. He also worked on the anime Classroom Crisis but I haven't watched that yet.
Definitely among the top 1% writers in the eroge industry, and one of the few who write genuinely good comedy. That's what he's most known for really, so WA2 might give the wrong impression. Great writer either way, I wonder if we'll ever see him back in eroge.

Chaos Child wasn't too good though, and a lot either dislike the first parts or the later ones of common. Routes and whatnot also gave a lot of people mixed feelings. It WAS successful, but that's hardly what we should go by. Otherwise we get quickly into the same territory as "Naruto is good" and whatnot.
Shinsou Noise was generally considered shit in the later chapters. (and I REALLY have to agree there)
Chrono Box was fine, though still ultimately VERY heavy on ero. Which in itself is not an issue, but the "romances" leading there were not particularly good. A setting mostly requiring romance for ero with that much ero is going to have its issues I guess. In the end you could say it "makes sense", but I don't think that was the goal, nor does it really fix your entertainment before.

I haven't read anything from the Kazuki Fumi, so yeah. I suppose it's always the case that not everyone is liking something, but especially with Shinsou Noise and Chrono Box you heard quite a bit of varying commentary about it. Chaos Child is also still a mixed back, a bit less so I guess?

That's just your opinions and what you want to believe for the most part.
C;C is easily one of the best releases in the 10's and I wouldn't think twice about someone listing it as one of their favorite games of all time. It has a 8.7 average on vndb / 90/85 on EGS, so most people agree clearly.
SN / CB aren't anywhere as good and have lots of flaws but they offer nonstandard experiences and the overall reception was still positive, both sitting at around 80~ on EGS.

Last time I checked a vocal minority complaining or a game not being perfect in every area aren't things that make a game bad. I actually dislike ChronoBox myself but I can't deny it being interesting and many people liking it. Frankly, you just seem to have a bit of a snowflake syndrome and can't comprehend when people like something you didn't, to the point where you apparently unironically think people are "trolling" when they mention well liked titles.

Man Setsuna's route ending in CC is just about the most romantic shit I've ever seen.

Actually no, that's not it. It's literally goes to shit tier because it's shit. It's not one plot element, it simply gets gradually worse and worse and most just get bored and drop it along the way, and even if you somehow struggle through it, it's not worth it at all. The "rape" part is just pseudo rape anyway. No heroine has sex with anyone aside of the protag. It's 100% otaku safe. Which is one of the reasons it's super stupid btw.

>>17649934

It's what I heard here (and maybe vndb) with my added personal opinion added in some parts. CC was criticized more than praised. Yes, there are some who like in its entirety, but those were surprisingly few. I figured there'd be more positive words about it too, but go figure.
Mind you, this all even happened before I read it myself and came to agree with several points mentioned. I still remember that because I actually hoped for something a little better overall and that preemptively made me expect less. Which was very good, because that probably made me enjoy it more overall and it easier to accept the flaws.

Can't speak for other sites, but at least in this thread we've had more than enough arguments about C;C and I didn't really like it *that* much myself either, due to already mentioned reasons and many others as well. The hype from the guys who played it on release probably set my expectations too high as well, so when the game actually ended up padding its common route with new cast of expy characters very slowly rediscovering the first game's plot elements (no doubt to make the game accessible to new people who didn't play C;H), while on the other extreme when the game finally starts to get interesting towards the end of the common route it crashes and burns with the nearly completely tangential enforced side heroine routes, so with the game betraying my initially high expectations you can say my opinion of it took a rather heavy nosedive.

Its popular score is obviously above average (and I don't think it's outright bad either despite its big flaws) but then are other not so stellar games' as well. Bringing up argumentum ad populum is kind of being a dick, but so is probably that guy's claim that C;C is *widely* criticized. For me it was decent but nowhere near the new sliced bread and both C;H and S;G are above it, even the former due to at least being original (working better for the mystery and horror factor) whereas C;C is a sequel utilizing the same setting and plot elements.

You mean Shinsou Noise? What I wrote isn't exactly a secret and I'm not even the only one who thinks like this. There are at least a few others here who put this on hold, because they simply lost interest.
It's pretty good for the first few chapters. But not a lot stay interested, let alone like the later few. And that's really not related to this weird "pseudo rape" that happens, as that's otaku safe anyway. Not like that is needed.. or even wanted by most here. But that's another story. Just like how that scene in itself is just very random.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 19 07:40:56 2017 No.17654140 >>17654089 Yeah, that must be it then, cheers. I've checked that thread, but did not realize that AP1 was the preorder stuff. Thought it was released at a later date, and that this was some other bonus.

thanks anon, you wouldn't happen to have the earlier games from the same company would you? i didn't realize before but looks like their 実況ナマハメ game got them sued by konami for copyright infringement and they lost rights to that and their previous games which aren't for sale anymore. only managed to find their im@s yayoi game but looks like it went through a non-unicode system and the files are mojibake now

First chapter was a let down because it feels (it is) just like an intro. The whole thing was infodumping mixed with the daily life scenes, and the carrot with trying to chase an unknown criminal. Specially the few action scenes and the pacing were so bad. The pet isn't even fun and the foreshadowing of its "evilness" makes the eyes roll back.
Next chapter will have the sister starring and that might turn things much better (she's easily the best character), or maybe the characters start trying to properly use their powers.

The rest, I hope it's ironic.

That game's artists are ex-Makura staff who worked on the 2008 version of Sakura no Uta. They probably figured it would never come out so it was safe to steal the setting and use it for their new game. I'm actually interested in checking it out sometime to see how deep the plagiarism goes.

Might as well ask people what brand of toothpaste they use. They're basically the same (especially for eroge), just more or less convenient depending on whether you move around or not.

I have heard of people playing eroge on a tablet, on the other hand, which sounds cool.

It's not actually a deck, just the top 5k words from the "Frequency list of non-grammatical terms" here:

http://wiki.wareya.moe/Frequency_lists

There aren't any definitions in the frequency list itself, so.

It also changes slightly whenever new VNs are added.
