Wow, this game was amazing. Fantastic. Nothing short of what I expected ... Actually I originally thought the title was Devil in the G string so I was expecting it t be to about a hot, slutty, psychotic chick, but whatever. My only beef with it is that Kyouske was such a bitch through out the whole thing. You'd think he would have grown some balls after spending all that time with Gonzu and have at least learned some martial arts so he could defend himself. Same with Haru. At least she got a lot of screen time, which is a major plus.

>> No.6711251

My problem with G Senjou is that I went in expecting Kyousuke to be like Kenichi with back flipping out windows and shit.

>> No.6711265

The game was okay-ish, above average, maybe good but definitely not perfect. It won't change my life (like Sharin did, the whole society theme in it was awesome), but it was enjoyable. The glaring plot-holes are annoying, and it tries too hard to mix drama, comedy, plot, tearjerking, etc and that made the game a bit bland IMO. If you are willing to take this game for what it is, it's worth your time. Prepare for yourself a massive suspension of disbelief though, you will need it.

I thought it did quite well actually. I wouldn't say it "mixed" them, they showed up during different sections but followed each other well. Sharin had a better underlying plot, but all around I enjoyed this better. The characters were much more fleshy instead of one-dimensional.

Not the person you're quoting, but I think I know what he's talking about.

Why doesn't Maou carry out his plans in other routes? Why isn't Kyousuke's sleepwalking ever explained? Most other plot holes that were pointed out could be explained by (pretty ridiculous) coincidences, but those can't. Pic related, it's Kyousuke sleepwalking.

>> No.6711675

>>6711196
Kind of agree.
The epilogue was S++. Start of chapter 5 was great as well but 2 3 4 was quite terrible and plotholes everywhere.

They tried too hard to make Kyousuke to look like Maou. How can Haru still suspect him if she seen and talk to him during the bombing considering that his brother is about 10years older? It is possible that akabeisoft started with kyousuke being maou and just use his brother later as a copout.

Also, if you missed earlier discussions about the plot holes, the people who've discussed this earlier came to the conclusion that Maou calls Kanon his sister because he was so immersed in his role pretending to be Kyousuke. Maou lives in Kyousuke's attic and drops down whenever Kyousuke looks away (yeah, I know, apartments don't have attics, but this explains how Maou heard Kanon showering while she was in Kyousuke's apartment). There were other explanations, but these covered the most obvious plot holes.

Definitely his dead imouto, Kiyomi. They started making a big deal about Kiyomi at the start of chapter 5 as a theme, and they even established a connection between Haru and Kiyomi. She pretended to ACT as Kiyomi at Kyouhei's funeral, and her apologizing for Kiyomi's death at the beginning of chapter 5 is what caused Kyousuke to temporarily forgive her. Anyone with a sense of poetic endings should have found that obvious.

Also, Yuki never mistook Maou as Kyousuke. She knew it was Maou all along. That was actually one of the more clever scenes, in that at that point in the game, the player has no idea that Maou and Yuki are acquainted and meet on a presumably frequent basis. So when Yuki stops and sees Maou on the street, they have a normal conversation, but the player is obviously going to assume that she's talking to Kyousuke since they would have no idea of their background

Not a satisfactory explanation, but it seemed to me that Kyousuke started thinking that he was Maou after a certain point. This likely can hand wave away a few areas where the plot doesn't match up due to the fact that during his "amnesic" episodes you could have truly thought himself Maou and behaved in a way that he believed Maou would.

Maybe it's about the hell on earth plan. She noticed that he was making a personal children army and that his father was going to fight him and all that, so it could be dangerous to him. Or maybe he was planning to use her to run away from her father and then kill her to shut her up. There are many possibilities.

>> No.6711952

It doesn't necessarily even have to be sleep walking. The text there is written in an unsure way, like "I think I fell asleep in an instant" and goes on to describe how sudden and fucking strong the lapse in his consciousness was. I mean, obviously the point there is to describe how... peculiar the way he 'fell asleep' was. That could just be him going into a fugue state from his psychogenic amnesia and not actually falling asleep. Note that there are a few instances where he feels tired despite that he thinks he went to bed immediately. It could just be his fugue state kicking in a couple times before he goes to bed and he mistakes that as falling asleep.

Coincidence. Walking around at night whenever Maou walks around town? Coincidence. Shiratori calling out to Maou at night? Not even a coincidence.

The first makes perfect sense with Yuki. The second is contrived, I'll give you. The third is quite possible, given that she likely didn't get a good look at his face - the two of them are obviously similar in build and looks. Honestly, you're grasping for straws over something you just don't seem to like. The Kyousuke/Maou thing is a considerably better twist than the ones that appeared in Sharin no Kuni, especially as it's pretty clear that Kyousuke wasn't Maou.

Yeah... twists with no contradictions, makes logical sense, and actually USES the backdrop of the story to make it work is worse than one that's full of plotholes and contradictions and requires huge leaps in suspension of disbelief to accept.

>> No.6712889

I'm >>6712699 and >>6711998 , not >>6712810 , but I'd like to clarify that I've made it known that I was taking out unimportant plot holes to justify my dislike of the plot the entire time. You've just repeated what I've said earlier.

Also, it's a coincidence that a woman is in the shower in the same room as Maou at the same time Kyousuke has Kanon in the shower. It doesn't matter who it is in the shower, it's still a coincidence.
The second point isn't just a straw. All those talks with Dr. Akimoto, all those sleepwalking episodes, all those headaches built up to nothing. This is a cliff. I'm not grasping at it; I can't avoid it even if I wanted to.
The third point is debatable. I would think that Shiratori would be able to tell that difference, given that she has been in love with Kyousuke for two years and there's a ten-year difference between Kyousuke's and Kyouhei's ages, but I guess it's possible to think differently.

I wouldn't have defended myself if you praised other parts of the story. But this twist was bad. It was, as >>6712732 put it, done only for shock value. Beautiful things have been done with Tsubaki, Kanon, and Shiratori. But this twist did nothing.

I was just looking back at this scene where he meets Yuki. Kyousuke says he falls asleep, but then opens the door to go outside. Afterward, he is clearly outside of his apartment and thinking about Mizuha and what's going on with her family. On his walk he runs into Yuki and they chat. Now, notice that when Kyousuke talks there's no voice actor, but when Mao does there is. In this scene there isn't one leading me to believe this is definitely Kyousuke, not Mao. When he talks about revenge, he's talking about his CD and when he says the last line about "disposing them" I'm he means he'll have to get them off his back after he takes his revenge since he had already challenged Usami. Notice the very next scene is Haru confronting him for what was written on the blackboard. Everything fits together perfectly.

I predicted around Chapters 3 and 4 that there were two Maou. Kyousuke's second personality and Kyouhei. They worked together for the most part, but Kyouhei did most of the murder-crime stuff. Haru, Gonzou, and the Maou family start this huge battle royale of wits. Kyousuke turns against Kyouhei and presents him to the police. Haru takes Kyousuke's mom hostage. Gonzou ignores the hostage and Haru kills Kyousuke's mom. Kyousuke then kills Gonzou. Kyouhei is placed in the same cell as his dad. Kyousuke's second personality is then revealed to be the killer of Haru's mom. The second personality is conquered by the power of love. Haru struggles between her love and her desire for revenge. Haru kills Kyousuke if you don't pass the affection point check. Haru and Kyousuke live happily ever after if you do.

I couldn't sleep, but I needed to take a break. I also had an overactive imagination. I stayed awake for about an hour on my bed trying to predict what would happen. I also didn't use any walkthroughs, so I was sure that Haru would have a bad end, so I tried to work my way around possible bad ends. I also knew that revenge had a huge role in Haru's character and I thought she would solve it in her route. I was wrong. Unrealistic expectations of badassery. Of course I'd be disappointed.

Oh god, that epilogue.
I didn't like Kyousuke through most of the VN start due to the fact we were being told how clever he was but his actions never really backed it up (he was definitely made to play the Watson too many times for Haru and Yuki), but that epilogue just sent him straight up to hero status ;_;.

>> No.6714414

I think you can semi-justify all the contrived coincidences by accepting that the omniscient narrator had a subtle personality of its own that enjoyed fucking with us.
Even outside of the whole Maou thing, we can see examples of it doing this, like when it had us thinking Maou was still in the skating arena when he was actually headed to Gonzou's.

Hence you could say things like two people didn't have to be showering at the same time, the narrator just conveniently chose to switch from the moment Kanon's showering to another scene with Maou, which didn't necessarily have to be happening at the same moment.

If you want to view this in a positive light, you could say it adds another layer of subterfuge to the game when you even have to be slightly wary of the narrator... but that might be reaching a bit.

>> No.6716154

I found myself completely believing the whole Kyousuke is Maou thing.

A lot of people seem to complain that the fact was forced on us so often that there was no way it could have been true, but in my view, I thought the game pretty much told us straight-up with the Mizuha 'recognising' Maou scene followed by the CG of his face, and every other scene 'forcing' it was just a normal scene using the already-established fact. I really should have been more suspicious of 'dead brother with no corpse', though.

That aside, I was also caught completely off-guard with the other two twists;
Tokita being on Maou's side, and Miki-chan being a guy.

That aside, I think it would actually be something interesting for a different story if the villian was an alternate personality of one of the detectives, and everyone knew it - problem is they can't keep them locked up because maybe the detective is a vip needed at certain places, or some other plot reason. It would lead to some interesting character dynamics.

Not much needs to be said about Haru, though admittedly I was a bit weirded out by her introductory scene.
Kanon was the one that was pretty same-old to me, except in those moments involving figure-skating where she showed her Azai blood.
Even though she ranked last, I definitely didn't dislike her (Though I did rage when she broke that CD).
Mizuha did have a pretty typical personality, but I guess I'm biased towards types like her, and she gets imouto of the year award.
Tsubaki is an interesting one; at first I didn't care much for her, but I thought her corruption sequence was fascinatingly dark and despite everything I wanted to see more of that - I thought the coming-to-her-senses scene seemed a bit too sudden and idealistic to be believable.

She was just an enjoyable character overall. Finished her's today, will get around to doing Haru's sometime, but I'm forcing myself through the Tsubaki chapter. Like I said, I think she's bland and also just a bit too idealistic, and the whole moving out thing isn't too exciting to me.

During the skating performance, the emotions she was going through, damn, I couldn't help my eyes getting a bit watery.
With Tsubaki, I understood she was going through a lot of stress, but damn, she really turned out to be a bitch for me, especially to her little brother, who just got back and all.

I hope that I wasn't the only person that was expecting a life/extremely long prison sentence during the entire epilogue- I mean, it would have fit in so incredibly perfectly with the huge issues regarding the death penalty itself (at least, in my eyes.)

Also, I sure as fuck hope that I wasn't the only person that noticed that this was almost a direct contrast with the law system of Sharin- Just as how Ririko/any sharin heroine would have been saved by the broadness/lightness of Criminal Law, Kyousuke would have been spared by the individualization of an obligation, as I can't imagine any SHCI seeing Kyousuke's situation worthy of a harsh obligation. I wonder if this writer simply has a fascination on the psychology behind law, and if we can be expecting any other law based VN in the near future from AR2.

To further prove my point, why else would the whole VN focus on the injustices and fear of the law? Kyousuke was only worried that Haru was going to be punished because of how "impersonal" the law was.


Overall though, I was incredibly satisfied. Despite the plot holes (such as Where the FUCK would Kyousuke disappear to in critical times? As well as all the other coincidences listed in the thread ) I think the story was woven quite nicely. While the twists were not executed as flawlessly as Sharin's (disregarding that fucking ending), G-Senjou impacted me emotionally much more, and it had a MUCH more powerful resolution, even with some bittersweetness, unlike Sharin's bullshit happily every after go the fuck home end.

Objectively, I'd say G-Senjou was probably around a 7/10. Above average, but not perfect. With emotions counted in, though, I would give it a 9 or a 10.

Sorry, I can't read the moonrunes, but what is this manga actually supposed to be about/how is it related? Side story of some sort?

Also, I'm feeling a fandisk that details Kyouhei's past, it seems like they could do something with it.

>> No.6724823

No, I really don't think they need to bother going into Kyousuke's past anymore. We know his situation.

They did however release a drama CD detailing events after the main story. I think it revolves around Haru does while Kyousuke is in the slammer

Been slowly plodding through this, just finishing the Tsubaki "Bad End" - I've actually quite enjoyed that gradual corruption of character, and it was hardly as bad as an end I would've expected.

It is, but with the whole ordeal that happened with Kanon and the press, I would probably say that it was more than likely for Haru's career to be ruined just because she married Kyousuke as a ex-convict..

I don't even see why Kyousuke wanted to take the fall. He made it sound like a premeditated murder, which probably got him years added to his sentence. Even if he would tell them the truth about Haru, what exactly would she be charged with? Holding an unloaded illegal/unlicensed firearm at someone? Even with Japan's strict laws on firearms, I don't think they would try to convict her for that, or that it would have made much of a difference. If Kyousuke was honest about everything, he would probably have gotten a much more reduced sentence (not that the current one was unreasonably large for the crime he commited) and could have spent more time with his gf and family. While I understand why he did it (he wanted 100% insurance that she won't be affected by him), but it's kind of pointless since she was already pregnant by him. In the end, I think he should have thought out the situation more instead of saying those heroic lies.

>> No.6727865

>>6727786
I agree. Even in the worst case scenario, their relationship could be shoved under rugs with the help of a hopefully still existent Azai corporation. I mean, look at the influence that Gonzou had in the press- surely Kyousuke could simply find an alias or something to hide Haru's connection to a "murderer".

Also, why is it that the stories that make me the most emotional are the ones that have the characters themselves crying? That scene with Haru made me baww so bad. It's like Angel Beats- It wasn't particularly good, but when Otonashi broke down I couldn't help myself.

>> No.6727888

Well, it's not like Kyousuke knew that Haru was pregnant. The detective pulling out that info probably backed him into a corner and really, he did pretty damn good coming up with what he did on the spot.

>> No.6727891

>>6727670
I wouldn't use Kanon as a basis for Haru's career. They try to show that being a figure skater is a really fragile existence, as you hit your peak really early, and especially with things like the olympics, there's always someone right behind you.
I would imagine that fi you're already an established classical musician, it won't hurt as much, especially since anyone who cared probably was able to dig up dirt on the daughter already.

>> No.6727933 [DELETED] 

Gonzou acts kind of inconsistant. In one route he dies so his adopted son can escape, and in another he is ready to kill him over a land dispute. I guess Gonzou really does treasure money over his own life.
Gonzou's priority list
Money > Adopted Son > Life

I hope I wasn't the only person that called Haru's pregnancy right from when Kyousuke said "I released my seed into her." The same goes for Maou as Kyouhei, I suspected it when Kyousuke said "he died in another country" and was certain when he said that his body left no trace a while later. I was literally not surprised at all in either of those two twists, despite not being spoiled. Still loved the VN though.

I feel Kiyomi should have been in the presses if Haru really was such an overly famous internationally acclaimed musician, and thus Kyousuke should have heard about her in jail.

I think it was pretty obvious that he wanted to 'make him human', but he didn't want to make it easy for him like "You went against me, GJ Son." It may be only my feeling, but Gonzou wanted Kyousuke to surpass him, if only momentarily. That's why he wanted to thrash him with the house thing, because he would be able to stop before killing him, or do it if Kyousuke was truly incompetent. But with sniping, Gonzou wasn't in control over what happened. This was the only way to protect his son, while before he only needed to stop his people.

So it looks like we can assume that it was a "happily ever after" for Haru, Kyousuke, and Kiyomi.

Now I can finally lay this piece to rest in my mind.
