Rate the last 3 VNs you played.

Swan Song: 9/10
Very good portrayal of the characters and the shitty situation they were put in, kept me on the edge of my seat during the whole time.
The first ending was awesome, the true ending was a bit weak however.
Great VN nonetheless.

Kira Kira: 8.5/10
Much more fun than I expected, the characters were likable without needing to be eccentric.
The first route of Kirari was the best.

Remember11: 8/10
Wasn't bad at all but it wasn't really at the level of Ever17.

Hey Sion, what kind of VN do you play?

[Anonymous No.]

ML Unlimited partial patch : Cannot rate because it's not finished, but it's a nice change from extra. I'm definitely looking forward to the second half.

Little Busters partial patch: cannot rate because it's still missing some routes, but damn, it's really a great VN. What I have read (common route, Kurugaya and Rin normal, ie what is translated) is 9/10 material so far.

Curtain Call: 8/10, a nice way to end Kira Kira, even though Souta is horrible. I thought the end was a little bit rushed.

[Anonymous No.]

Real Imouto: 5/10
Mediocre game in all aspects. Why so many people seem to like it is totally beyond me.

Dra-Koi: 6/10
It's OK for a short game I guess. Can't say I got a lot out of it.

AIR: 6/10
Least bad Key game I've played so far. Story and writing are far from anything special, but at least it's got some nice music.

Eien no Aselia: playing this off and on. Fun, but I can't really judge until I complete it.

Yumemishi: 8.5/10
Kind of a big surprise for me, it was a very enjoyable eroge with some pretty good writing and a damn good story.
Not perfect though, the resolutions happen too fast, though they are always pretty powerful.
Also no tachi-e for Asami, fucking injustice.
Sakuya was fucking cute.

Rocket no Natsu: 8/10
Also very good, the characters were very enjoyable and Ayumu's route was pretty great.
Kind of made me hyped for the other Terralunar titles.

Evolimit: 8/10
Awesome humor and all in all a pretty enjoyable eroge.
But it could have been much better, that's what you feel after reading it.
Anyways Shiranui and Shizuku are the best pair of protagonist/main heroine ever.

Actually the latest thing I read was the trial of Rewrite but you can't really rate it, it was awesome though.

[Anonymous No.]

(consider I'm actually really harsh when giving out rating, consider I don't usually give 10 unless it's really perfect beyond argument.)

MuvLuv Alternative: 9/10
the best visual novel I've played so far. Some segments take the term "infodump" to a whole new fucking level, but pretty much every other aspect is fantastic. The ending can vary from disappointing to rage inducing.

Hikari no Valusia 7/10
I dunno, it just didn't click with me. The incest theme felt a bit overdone, the heroine didn't really advance beyond the "alas I'm in distress, save me!" and despite the arabian setting the main theme was about the Christian God. Felt a bit weird, like the author didn't have enough ideas. He lifted the hollow's masks from Bleach, for fuck's sake

Mamono Musume to no Seikatsu ~Lamia no Baai~: 3/10
ahahahohwow.jpg silly me for expecting anything other than a shitty, shitty nukige. They didn't even attempt to give a plot or personality, no matter how horrible. It's just voice acted sex scenes.

Demonbane 8/10
I liked it a lot. Pretty manly epic robotfights, likable protags, ELSA <3 <3 <3, and funny comedy. It sometimes changes too abruptly between funny and deadserious, and Leica's route sucks apart of the additional Ryuuga (which also means it had far the best final confrontation from the three).

Swan Song 9/10
I wouldn't rate it so high, but the Normal Ending was great stuff, and I really liked how the game handled the characters +their developments.

Currently playing and just started so can't rate it yet, but liking it so far and the setting is intriguing enough. I can see me rating it somewhere 7-9 range if it doesn't become shit fest like umineko and stays on murder mystery as I'm sucker for those.

Kurutta Kyoutou No.2: 8/10
Well it was nukige, so wasn't excepting much, but it ended up being suprisingly enjoyable due to one certain character. It gave me some good faps and ejoyable/awesome moments, and LOL SUDDENLY POWERLEVELS at end of each route, so thats why so high rank even tough it was nothing special overall.

Some random nukige which name can't remember anymore: 5/10
It gave me good enough faps, so it ended up doing its job, but was nothing memorable enough.

Little Busters: 8/10
Did Haruka and Komari routes in the past week. They weren't as good as Kudo's. They were still nice, but so far this game doesn't measure up to Clannad or Air. I'm hoping Rin and Saya are as awesome as I hear, even though it'll probably be months before I get to Saya.

Akane Iro: N/A
I'm struggling with the moonrunes in chapter 6. Why is this game so hard to read. Hime and Kaichou are seriously moe, though.

I went through Hinata's route a while ago, and it was kinda disappointing compared to Sachi's story, but the H-scenes were really good. Hinata is delicious.

SubaHibi: 8/10

A little overhyped but still a worthwhile play... even if I could barely make out the dialogue with Atlas.

Chaos;Head: 8/10

Yeah, I know this is old but what can I say? I'm sure there's a few on everyone's hard drive that we just haven't gotten around to playing. Despite what the overexposure has created in terms of negative feedback, this was really good. The engine was nice. It incorporated some light animation and the characters were all well-designed. Pretty trippy story did eventually turn into something a little more generic but I would still recommend it.

Suika A.S.: 8.25/10
Very interesting stories. There's some stuff that didn't make sense or were annoyingly misleading (e.g. Chapter 2), and many of the characters I liked didn't have a route (Sayo, Kamishiro Moe). Still much better than Da Capo though.

Kira☆Kira Curtain Call: 7.5/10

Full Metal Daemon: Muramasa (9/10)
Can't remember the other 2 games I played last because Muramasa was so awesome. Epic period drama set in an alternative universe past in the early part of 20th-century Japan in a world in which wars are fought with "tsurugi" which are man-sized suits of Samurai-like armor which grant flight and special powers. Very dark storyline, great production, and it's a Nitro+ game, but with a maturity and seriousness you don't normally associate with Nitro+.

So, fuck all the other games in this thread, go play this one you won't be disappointed.

Sengoku Rance: 8/10, it managed to get me to try a New Game Plus, but honestly the game was just too much of a pain the second time through. Good fun, though, even if Rance is a terrible monster.

Kira Kira: 9/10, I still have to give it another few playthroughs but I really enjoyed it. The characters are fun, the music is fun, and their shenanigans are fun. It's like I'm really in a band!

Muramasa is the only eroge I would give a 10 personally.
Played a lot but nothing I saw came close.

Symphonic Rain (8/10) - It was really enjoyable in my opinion. The story was very interesting, and it was definitely something different. While the rhythm mini-game was difficult, it was pretty fun. The only thing that bothered me was Lise's ending. It was just dumb that Lise and Chris went back to the mansion to find the piece for the song. Predictable that they were caught, although I felt quite sad when Lise was hospitalized.

CLANNAD (9/10) - One of the visual novels I didn't get around to until now. It was pretty good, cute art, great music. I loved Nagisa's route, it was refreshing to see her improve and gain more confidence. Went on her route first, which caused me to probably screw up all the play routes. None of the characters really interest me, except maybe Kyou or the library girl.

Kourin no Machi, Lavender no Shoujo - Just started this, but it seems a bit bland. I don't know if I'll continue it or not.

Hmm, let's see.

Yume Miru Kusuri: 7/10.
Good game, good characters, and a great concept that was an interesting twist on the standard "solve the heroine's problems" plotline, but Aeka's route was such a black hole of rage for me that I have to knock it down a peg or two. (Shit ending, too. Glad I didn't play it last.) It sometimes felt like your choices didn't matter in the least (except when having a footjob, apparently), and the game could have used a "True" route of some sort to finally tie up Kouhei's development. The train dream thing never really went anywhere...

Higurashi Minagoroshi- 8/10.
An all-around good story about screwing destiny. I liked how it tried to troll the player up until the very end, but somehow I feel as though the anime pulled off the last few scenes with a lot more impact... the timestopping was incredibly stupid and from what I've heard of Matsuribayashi it's just going to get worse. Also, Hanyuu is a REALLY frustrating character.

Sengoku Rance- 10/10.
I beat it and I'm STILL playing.

Sekien no Inganock:

It definitely had the atmosphere down and the final two chapters were some of the best I've read. The strange puzzle game element only detracted from it and I found myself skipping most of it.

Great comedy, interesting characters, fun gameplay elements, and some pretty hard hitting moments. It did everything well and really didn't do anything badly.

You will need to beat every route, including Nagisa's route AGAIN.

You'll also need to follow a specific path on that replay. if you don't want a bad end during After Story; google up the 300 Hour Walkthrough and follow that.

>Rate the only 3 VNs you played.

F/SN: Hated it at the start, then loved it, then liked it less and less as it went on until I hated it again at the end. Nice production values, interesting high concept, simple but friendly art, really fucking frustrating characters. Three stars.

Tsukihime: Lacks all the high points and the low points of F/SN. The result is forgettable mediocrity. Three stars.

Umineko: The plot is a confusing mess that outright lies to the reader all the time. Art is a mixture of terrible photoshop effects and crappy though distinctive char sprites. Takes way too long to say or do anything, but when each episode is over I wish it didn't end already so it must be doing something right. Excellent music. Three stars.

I can feel you on this (I used to be one of these people not too long ago, too), and I didn't mean to knock on machine translation users generally.

That's the whole damn point. The story is written by characters WITHIN the story who are, by nature, unreliable.
