So yeah. Playing this month's "crazy girls" game.

First route wasn't my thing. Girl was too much of a bitch to just end things without ever making that a big deal. I like bitches and crazies. I really do. But this didn't work.

Other than that, the game's nice so far. It's definitely a bit shaky, as far as writing goes, but there's worse. Hope there's hatesex later on. Pic related seems to want that badly.

I played the trial before and it ended right around your screenshot. Will do that next once I'm done with this. That scene where she chokes the MC was kinda hot. Did you do Sumire's first? I was kinda under the impression she's the main girl in the VN due to the know-it-all attitude she's huffing so it might be good to save for last.

>> No.17961110

>>17961049

Nah, if I did her route first, that'd make me know if she had hatesex. It's a staircase route system, where you get choices of the "do you want to enter route x now?" kind. Imouto is first. So her's is the only choice I had yet.
That scene is pretty much the end of "common" I guess you could say. The first route possibility comes pretty fast after that.

Share's search doesn't work like PD, IIRC it only shows files shared by the nodes you are connected to at the moment.

You need to use its trigger system where you define rules under which downloads are added to your queue as soon as they are encountered and just leave it be. I don't remember what the option was called but you need to check something so the trigger doesn't get deleted after encountering the first download. Don;t use generic keywords like 18禁ゲーム because it will shit up your queue by adding everything with that keyword. You can also search in keydb.telegrip.info which crawls and saves everything so it's pretty much the largest database of files on Share.

>> No.17961749

>>17961730
Okay, I just remembered - if you want to just store the results you need to define the trigger and check "Add to DB only" and when in search click the green DB button on the upper left to show the keys. You still need to define a really generic non-empty trigger (for example just zip/rar keyword), don't think it's possible to make the thing store everything. Keep in mind storing everything is probably going to slow it down to shit.

average in this case meaning that it's so thoroughly mediocre that it actually transcends itself to become worse than it actually is - i would much rather read a extremely shitty visual novel than suffer through Extra's bland everything again. i would go as far to say that CCC isn't worth that slog, and CCC is a slog in and of itself, albeit with a payoff in its above-average story telling.

2nd place is a lot harder to call. either Reina or Ako, depending on how often the latter goes into her yandere mode. Normal Ako is just a boring moeblob imouto from whom I expect to hear 'onii-sama' at any time.

The way her voice sounds and her tsundere attitude are very similar to Louise. Plus she has petite breasts when every other heroine is sporting the usual cowtits.

I really want to know what the artist for Ako was thinking though. Her first h-scene features what looks like double nipples on each of her tits. It is really disturbing in an otherwise fluffy eroge. Plus they look fine in the foreplay scene before the H and every other H scene, idk how they let this error slip by. You can see what I mean here : exhentai.org/s/212fbff6b0/1146573-28

It's amazing how literally nothing came out of it, and it ended up being just a h-scene collection which doesn't even bother given the characters much of a.. well, character. Even though all the following did happen:


-During Miku's "first time" it was too dark to see any blood" and she decided the place and whatnot. She even asked if protag sees blood which lead him just to believe there's probably some. Made me feel this wasn't her first time, especially because she also had quite a bit of fun and absolutely 0 reserve for it to happen. (unlike her friend)
-Talked her friend pretty much into it.
-Accepted the money without hesitation, again unlike her friend.
-When asked about her friend not being with her later on, she acts fairly indifferently. She doesn't know. Different schools and all.
-She acts insanely "fake" in ero scenes. As in, typical ero dialogue, just overacted. Quite a contrast to the other girl as well. She in general is rather seductive in her way of speaking and "inviting".

And I'm supposed to believe, she just did all that to have some fun, had never sex before or in general with someone else than the protag and so on and so forth? Uh. Yeah. Hard. Maybe less signs for the opposite would be nice. Weird thing. I didn't really expect anything, but when those signs came on early on, I couldn't help but expect a little more than what this ended up being. Oh well.

>> No.17965455

>>17965291
Kinda ironic that the one voiced by a newbie seiyuu is a slut and the one voiced by a veteran seiyuu is pure.

After looking at the cgs Ithink you are right, I don't see a speck of blood on brown hair and she doesn't look in pain at all. Whereas black hair's was quite obvious she was deflowered.

If what you say is true about how she acts, then she's definitely a slut. She probably takes bc pills secretly.

Maybe it was scrapped. Or maybe there's some bad stuff after the final scene or something. You seem to get something if you beat both routes. Aka, if you aren't going for both, you are allowed to be happy even if it's an illusion. I'd actually find that funny.

man, this was vanilla nukige for the most part but it got a bit darker near the end. then it kept raining plot twists before it ultimately got a happy ending
it's obvious from the start that Shizuku was imaginary.
but then even MC's friends were also imaginary,
and then MC's "true" friends told that Shizuku was killed by some maniac,
but then MC remembered (via imaginary doctor) that he's the maniac who raped Shizuku,
but then ghost Shizuku told MC that he didn't kill her,
but then MC remembered that after he raped Shizuku, it was ok for her anyway because she loved him but he felt guilt and tried to commit suicide
but then Shizuku told MC that he created the imaginary world to serve as his penance and after he forgave himself and it looked as if his soul gets reunited with Shizuku's soul and they disappeared together
so then it transitioned to recurring occult otaku author who's the guy dreaming with the kaleidoscope and ED credits played
but then after credits, it was shown that MC awakened from coma and Shizuku is alive waiting for him
WTF


so this is vastly different from the first volume but they both carry with them psychologically screwed protagonists and dark occultic themes that ultimately end in a good way. are the next ones like that too (not that i'd expect to read or finish them anytime soon)

Was going for route order based on which girls I like but the true route is like the 2nd one I like best. I just finished Shion's and I gotta say the story or plot isn't anything special but damn the fight scenes are good.

i'm having a hard time with shuusaku, but i don't really want to use a guide. I've gone through the game like five times now and the closest i've gotten to actually getting a girl was when i got the picture of moeko getting her pussy eaten out in the woods I figured that was enough to blackmail her but she was always in her room so i couldn't do it

Takabe seems like she'd be the most tricky to get, from what i've been playing. It's almost like the game doesn't even want you to get her, the girl barely lets up.

Akari's tits in Aoi Tori are too big. It is especially noticeable in some CGs, like pic related. I'm sad to see purplesoft jump on the kyonyuu bandwagon. RIP Hotaru, your petite well-shaped breasts will be missed.

I know I know, big boobs sell so that's why they do it. But still! It looks horrible to me and I really hope this fad passes eventually. Seeing such large cowtits on petite beauties is, imo, approaching the uncanny valley: Akari is only 151cm tall yet has a 95cm bust, weighing in at a mere 47kg. It's just ridiculous.

I also want to point out that if you look at the full CG it does not look like Akari weighs barely more than 100 lbs. There's simply no way, even if she was flat, she's simply too thick. Just look at her thighs ffs! How am I supposed to believe Akari is only 20 lbs more heavier than Mary?

Probably not, that's why most netori involves a "bad" husband/bf of some sort, so the reader doesn't sympathize with the guy getting ntr'd. ままはは completely failed in this regard, I actually felt really really bad for the guy and completely regretted banging his old lady.

Average VN is like 30 hours long, shorter if you don't read every route in a moege for example. 3 x 30 = 90 hours.

the games aren't really comparable, isaku is more of a locked in a building mystery/horror room escape type of game where as shuusaku is a rape simulator. i'm enjoying it so far, it's fun enough to try to optimize your schedule to sneak in cameras and shit. I will say that shuusaku does some pretty interesting stuff in that the game is pretty meta, i suppose. shuusaku will often break the fourth wall and talk directly to the reader. shuusaku will often ignore what schedule you try to give him and do what he wants instead. then you have shit like the h-scenes where you can switch between you the player being in the h-scene vs shuusaku being in the h-scene.

I also think the game's sprites add to that meta vibe because all of shuusaku's sprites are him peering towards the screen as if he's talking to you, i will say that shuusaku can be a pretty funny guy sometimes even though he rapes people and shit

Done with yurauka. In short: Play Tojita Sekai no Tori Colony instead.

This was disappointing. Common is still quite alright, but the routes are more or less a complete failure. They are written as if the game would be a simple moege. The story ends up being extremely simple, any kind of necessary character development happens within 2 minutes and nothing really works. For example you just get things told that happen, but not really shown, or the character defining big problem being apparently not so big after all... if all the girl needed is a freakin' hug and a few nice words. In a moege you can do that. This didn't want to be one. Or did it? They should definitely decide next time.

So yeah. I'd say stay away. Not worth it. Not even worth for Sumire. It's insane how they deal with her crazy side. I mean you can probably guess from what I wrote. It's just randomly fixed/removed... because why not? This... REALLY needed WAY more loops. And generally the writers caring about the characters' issues.

More the multiple writers issue, usually. Different girls are mainly written by different writers. This is also why a character can change quite a bit, once you enter a route, if he/she was written by someone else before. Or why a heroine can be better in a route that's not hers.

But yeah, it happens a good amount. Usually because ending a story, the climax and such are the hardest to get right.

>> No.17974740

Playing at 720p. Anything not scaled by your screen (720p fullscreen) or bicubic by the VN shouldn't be scaled at all. Unless maybe 900p->1080p. 720p->1080p is a bad idea.

So, if you want to play at fullscreen, change your screen's resolution to 720p before playing the game, if the game doesn't support exclusive fullscreen itself. If this already is bicubic filtering, then you are probably completely out of luck and this is just how it looks like. I remember having played this in 720p myself though, so I doubt that.

There should be much better games with a similar-ish concept. Tried the kuru games? Harukuru may give a somewhat similar feeling. At least as long as you don't absolutely need the "joke endings" and whatnot. They obviously have their differences aside of that as well though.
Tokihate from Kure (Moonstone) may also work, I at least had a good amount of fun with it, especially the final hour or so.
Then there's Hapymaher, which is again quite a different beast on first glance... but maybe not so much at the end. At least the harem aspect is also looked at a little differently than normally.
None of these are perfect, of course, but I'd probably recommend those over Yurauka for something somewhat similar to Tojita Sekai's plot. As for the many branching possibilities... I don't really know of a similar experience in that regard. Unfortunately. Joke endings are rare already, so finding even more is going to be hard.

Yurauka probably wanted to be something like those games as well, to an extend. It has an interesting enough cast, raises enough questionmarks in the common route, some signs of crazy her and there. It's interesting. But it shortcuts way too much.
The reason why I drew the comparison is that if it had been like Tojita Sekai with its loops, at least the main plot may have worked better, even with it being as "simple" as it was. Instead you just get told, that "progress happened". It generally doesn't like to deal much with anything that's interesting, let alone the necessary drama. Even if it defines the character heavily, a few nice words and a hug will be enough. Which, again, is rather different with Tojita Sekai.
If you want to read it, go at it with the assumption it's a moege. The routes are pretty much written like that, even if some themes may not fit very well with moege. All the issues however get put on the bus, asspulled away or something similar.

I just happened to click on the character while the textbox was removed, and you can get some lines based on where you click. Haven't seen that in a while. Or maybe it's not that uncommon and I just never did it before? Kinda reminds me of Kat tickling in Gravity Rush.

Other than that... what a short common route. Didn't even really meet half of the heroines. The OST is also unfitting and yet fitting. Something else when the protag checks his tasks for the job, including when the trash gets collected, while some "military briefing" style epic music plays..

What is the worth of this game if I want to approach it as a comedy and don't care about the icharabu much?

>> No.17975869

>>17975850
Some routes are definitely more funny than others. Thus far I think Reina has the most humor in her route, due to having a ton of side character present. I suppose Mashiro could be funny if you like chuuni girls.

Overall though the comedy is probably one of the better things about this eroge. If you like seeing tsundere girls getting ribbed hard by their friends, this is the game for you. I haven't played the other 3 yet, although Ako is usually pretty funny when she's not in her usual moeblob imouto form. Seeing the step-sister get BTFO by a girl her own age was so satisfying considering she's a mega-jealous brocon. It might not be humor to everyone but I enjoy seeing the 'winning' heroine lording it over the other girls, especially any childhood friends and imoutos. It's a shame that only Reina seems to confront Ako though, from what others have said about the game.

I've only played two routes so far, but at this point Fureraba made me laugh more than Making Lovers. Can't beat the hamster scene and homo fish. Both though have pretty similar crass humor style with silly protagonist so it's mostly dependent on how much you like that sort of stuff, and it's prevalent in heroine routes as well.

By the way, the girls say different things depending on how far into the relationship you are. It looks like it changes after the first H scene with the heroine, but it could be when the game moves from the 'development' chapters to the 'love' chapters, which don't always correspond to having H.

I really don't like the Fureraba art, it looks so childish. The heroines also don't look as appealing on a first glance. Maybe if I like ML I'll check it out.

By the way some dude on vndb said the game took him 47h and put it into the Long category. Is it really that long or do we have an especially slow reader here?

>>17975915
Probably a slow reader, though it's not like I've taken time how much about how much I've spent on the routes so far, but they don't feel very long at all.

Also for points towards Fureraba so far I think it does the proactive protagonist thing much better. I posted about the same issue before but I feel a bit cheated with Making Lovers since the premise on the website was advertising similar "love doesn't come to those who wait" thing but so far luck is exactly how the protagonist seems end up with girls in Making Lovers' routes. Hell, in Reina's route the protagonist outright says that maybe love is just dependent on luck.

Both though are similar with the games having zero harem stuff and focusing on one heroine almost from the word go: Making Lovers has extremely short common route whereas Fureraba has a common route whose length depends on how well you handle the conversation options during the free time parts, and during those you only focus on the heroine of your choosing. Latter is also much more interactive for that reason since you have to choose right topics and answers more often (and it actually has a fail state if you keep fucking up), whereas Making Lovers seems to have you choosing date spots only three times per route. On the other hand Making Lovers isn't 学園もの and has an adult protagonist, with the main thing being completely different apartments and workplaces per route so that's a plus in its favor.

>> No.17976022

>>17975665
If you look carefully during H scenes, you'll also see the heroine's nipples become bigger sometime in the middle. For some girls it is obviously engorged, for example Saki since her entire areola seems to swell, but for the most part is it quite easy to miss on the other heroines as it only affects the nipple itself.

>> No.17976068

>>17975993
Hold on. Even though the premise says that about love not coming to those who wait, the MC is still very much a diehard romantic. He specifically wants to have that cliched "fated meeting" followed up by more chance encounters before confessing/going out with the girl.

Lucky for our eroge protagonist, he has a ton of fated meetings and coincidentally encounters them not long afterwards.

>> No.17976091

Yeah, but the first description had me expecting the protagonist overcoming his own cliche expectations and aggressively pursuing romance of his own accord.

People who write reviews like that don't read VNs just to enjoy them. They analyze, compare, look where they stand in the industry, how they compare to possible previous works of the author(s), look at other impressions and discuss those and so on and so forth. All of that is part of the enjoyment.
It's a very different thing compared to not writing reviews as well as not having a major interest in the general industry, fanbase/customerbase and so on, and still randomly give all those games abysmal ratings while still completing them.

Wouldn't that mean that people who write reviews aren't qualified to write reviews?

>> No.17979773

>>17979567

Of course they are "qualified". There's not even anything you really need.
A reviewer is ultimately just another person anyway. And if you are good, you leave out your personal view/enjoyment to a certain point. Otherwise it'd not be a review, but an impression/opinion. A review is supposed to list and talk about pros and cons and give the reader an idea of how the work is, rather than how much one person liked or hated it. This may seem overly negative for some, for example talking about points you don't think of as problematic at all, but that's kinda the point. You will never reach everyone with your personal opinion anyway, as newer readers put importance on very different things than longtime fans.

That said, scores are generally awful. I honestly prefer reviews without them, but I can understand when big reviewers have them. In my little posts I tend to write here I leave my rating out for good reason though. Aside of that I don't really do full reviews and tend to mix it with a healthy amount of personal opinion anyway, perhaps more than what would be healthy for a review. Leaving out your opinion completely is obviously impossible and that's good. That way finding a reviewer that shares your general values is going to be quite successful.

If the writer is good you can generally get a sense for what the game is like, what made it work for them, and judge from there. Even if your tastes aren't the same you should be able to get a general idea.

I go to reviews for more than just "will I like this" checks too. Deliberately reading people with drastically different points of views can be enlightening. And passion can be infectious. If they really like a thing in a way you typically don't, it can encourage a different type of reading than you'd likely have gotten otherwise. My tastes have been expanded countless times by stuff like this.

Drier, more historically-minded posts have their place and can be good too, they're just not what I usually go to reviews for. (I don't really like the writer in question though)

>> No.17982664

>>17982494
I'm not a cracker myself, but from what I understand it varies an extraordinary amount based on what DRM they use.
DMM games are actually in many cases harder to crack than a big company's VN because the companies will all group around whatever has the "best protection" so consistently that slapping AlphaRomDie on a VN will remove it's DRM 75% of the time. Doujin circles have different budgets for their DRM and so they will use weird obscure programs that don't have widely publicized weaknesses.
Cracking in a broad sense means tricking the DRM to think that you're a legitimate user when you aren't or stripping the DRM away from the game itself. If the former is possible, all you need to do is find and input the "password". The latter is phenomenally difficult in some circumstances.

In short, the only way to know how hard it is to crack something as unique as a DMM game is to try and see.

Amayui was pretty fun. It only has one main heroine though, and there's only real two main endings (although there are a couple of very minor variations): good ending, and bad ending. The story is a lot more linear than Kamidori is.

No, it is definitely the engine causing that weird lag between text changing. It might have something to do with the way the game uses sound effects, they seem to all be triggered during that 'stutter' that occurs in between text. I think the engine tries to check, each line, if it should be playing a sound effect or not - which produces that stuttering. Or maybe the engine is just an unoptimized piece of shit.

I'm playing on an SSD so the stutter is really short but still noticeable compared to other games that have silky-smooth transitions.

I didn't say "most moege coming out statistically and factually have 5-8+ H scenes per route and if you disagree with me you're an idiot", I just said it feels that way based on most of the moege past 2010 I've read having way too much H in them for my tastes and most of the non-nukige CG sets I see having most certainly more than 3 scenes per character (unless you count moege with lots of H as a nukige, in which case that renders this entire discussion pointless).

If my perspective is incorrect and moege with lots of H are in the minority, then that's good to know and I need to figure out a better way to know that shit before going into a VN. If my perspective isn't wrong and you're just picking fights, then fuck off.

Eroge has definitely become more bloated with H over time. There's also far more CGs as well per scene, causing even more bloat with every CG having multiple extras for additional facial expressions.

Golden Hour and Mashimaro are examples of too much H. Golden Hour even had to give the main heroine less H (25% less compared to the others, 9 scenes vs 12) in order to squeeze in the necessary plot!

What the fuck, how am I supposed to betray her two more times.

The route was okay though, I really liked that in the end they talked openly everything with her and feel really bad for what they are doing.
Also don't know what to think about Setsuna being hurt so much in middle school to the point of getting between Kazusa and Haruki to stay together and fucking over everything in the process only to find out that noone else cared about what happened and they were still friends.

I get the feeling that the other routes might not be handled as cutely as this one though.

Playing Softhouse Chara games can be so weird. They are kinda shitty in some way, but still succeed to hook me.

This here needs a LOT of grind, and placing your characters on your areas is a hassle, as is changing equipment and skills. Still, grind is fast, as generally everything in the game, which is rather typical for the dev and works quite well.
Seems to me like this is a bit more focused on lewd, though it's not like I expected much of a story anyway. Characters are fine. Brown flatty is best girl. Pic related has a very weird voice. Especially during lewds. A bit of a shame.

That's fine with me, but she screams like hell during sex.


With the gameplay, I'm essentially just after recruiting the last main girl, a stage or so further in. So I don't have much combinations yet.... I think. I should probably check my skills. My first units did hit l30 by now though and color changed. Funny stuff. Probably means I have skills I could swap around as well. Not really needed though, as bunny maids are OP.

Talking about torrents that never finish. Anyone here happen to have Memories Off History? (as in the collection of most games pre 6 for PC, a lot of them released the first time for PC with that) All ages is hard, though there is something on Nyaa. Something that will probably not finish.
Someday I really have to get into the deeper things myself. Baidu, AS and nyaa are... limiting.

that nyaa torrent isn't even the collection you're asking for what the heck have you been doing since you last asked months ago? that collection is fucking 17gb and is on clubbox which would only take forever to grab but i'm sure it's also on share/PD/winny which may or may not be faster

be sure to share it here when you're done

It is the collection. The size is correct as well. It just seems to have a bunch of chinese patches added, but it's not like you gotta use them.
I only tried to find it the other day. Not like it really matters when you try to find it at this point. To be honest, I didn't even think Nyaa would have anything, otherwise I would've added it a long time ago. Go figure.

how come there is someone asking to get spoonfed on some rare games here every single day but there's never followup on them actually playing the game or posting any sort of thoughts here
my current theory is that it's just some obsessive hoarder who doesn't actually play eroge

Got busy with real life stuff and finally found the time to finish this.

Well, the plot/story plays out like a bad LN school competition genre which I have a guilty pleasure with. So there's four heroines in total with the main girl, Saya, being the true route hence you need to go through the three other first. The routes were longer than I expected, maybe like 2-4 hours for each girl.

The common route is mostly just introductions of the main heroines and the sub-characters. You get hints and background of the main story from the common route and the other non-main routes. Shion's route is relevant because it gives you some info about a bit of history and more insight to the MC. Her route's good but found her quite boring. Freesia's route can be skipped since it almost has no relevance to the main story. Boy did her route dragged on but I endured reading it all because I just like her looks. Tsubaki's route has relevance since it gives you more background about their family. I felt like she has the most "character" out of all the heroines. The perfect fighter without flaws but she's not what she looks like. Now the true route itself is where everything is resolved from the bits of points of interest that was in the other routes. It's not executed well (like all VNs, doho) but it was fun seeing all pieces finally fall into place. Most the other characters disappear or have little appearance once you get to a heroine's respective route.

This VN was advertised as having music from a well-known doujin circle and fight scenes. Both did not disappoint. I mostly listen to doujin music and Alvine delivered. The fight scenes are good too. They narrate what they do during those scenes and the changing perspective is really a plus. I really looked forward to the fights (since I like my sports kind of scenes in my VNs like, say, Aokana's Flying Circus). But the fight scenes might get boring because it's pretty much the same characters fighting with each other in each route. Also, I think the music helped during those scenes.

tldr; It's a good dumb moege. Tsubaki best girl. Sensei, Ayase, and maid route where? Sensei's secret and reveal at the end just makes her cuter.

Because other Nitro the Best rereleases follow. Say no Uta is Vol 2, Demonbane Vol 3, Chaos Head Vol 4 etc., I believe.

It's the same, except working on Win 7 (presumably 8/10 too). Saya and Demonbane are also ported to Nitro's new engine.

Unfortunately, half this VN are tournaments and that's what made the VN longer. Problem with tournament arcs is that it's a cheap way to make an author's story longer. And this VN did have some fight scenes that dragged on.

>>17992625
I only read Fortissimo and I don't think I can directly compare the fight scenes with that since this isn't really as chuuni. You'd probably get spirits and power levels powering the characters at most but that's it. But I'd say I'm more entertained in Fortissimo's fights.

As someone who uploads these obscure old games here, I don't care. Would be cool if people reposted them to places with more exposure like A-S or nyaa.

Maybe these games are just cursed, nobody wanted do touch them so they became hard to obtain and even after someone uploads a copy it's still doomed forever to never get picked up by anybody.

The engine they used seems kind of shitty to be honest.
I've had multiple random crashes in the game, the config settings reset to default every time the game closes, and the skip function will just stop working for no reason, which combined with the random crashes has honestly made me drop the game for the time being.

You make me not want to play this anymore. I very much doubt I'd play the loli route, and blue is probably more to my liking than the other girl.
