It's excellent, but you need to play Extra and Unlimited first to have any real understanding of it, and they aren't as good.

Because you can't help but imagine multiple ways a happy scene can go horribly horribly wrong just like it did in MLA.

Baldr Sky is not really at the level of Alternative's storytelling. The story is a lot simpler and straightforward, it just makes it up with gameplay and fuck yeah moments.

You can't honestly tell me Baldr Sky has the same breadth of characterization and themes as Alternative. It's basically just Kou going around fucking shit up. It's great for that, don't misunderstand me, but it's not that complex once you straighten the amnesia thing out.

As for Mecha VNs, Demonbane isn't half bad. It's just more fun than "OH FUCK OH MY GOD" and doesn't keep you as glued to the screen due to not know what the fuck is going to happen. It's still full of FUCK YEAH and knows how not to make a scene so tense by lightening the mood.

>> No.7395004

>>7394970
Yeah, I can definitely see how Muramasa gets on that level, at least in term of production values. Can't really say anything else as it'll probably take a while until I can play Muramasa.

Yes I do, actually BS has better characterization all around. BS did it themes pretty well, the cyberpunk setting is pretty great and well thought out. MLA did its themes better though but it's kinda incomparable since they expound different themes.

>It's basically just Kou going around fucking shit up.
Sigh. Isn't that MLA?
Anyway I don't want to turn this into BS vs MLA. I love them both.

Fuck you, you don't deserve Takeru.
You spent like two days with him when you were really little, and you somehow think this gives you the right to barge into his life and take him away from the person who's been with him for most of it?

Get out, Meiya.

>> No.7395278

>>7394979
But it HAS better characterization and a more interesting plot. Nobody would give a fuck about MLA without the "shock-factor" scenes, it is a very poorly paced story with some incredibly annoying characters.

Plus, you know, the whole gameplay thing. BS kicks the shit out of MLA as a VN.

>> No.7395304

>>7395278
Coup D'etat arc was one of the highlights of the game and had no shock scenes. Main hive infiltration had no shock scenes (though it was "shocking").

>> No.7395351

Eh, after a while, Alternative kind of numbed me to the events. Once you realized that all the plot twists were basically "IF SOMETHING CAN GO WRONG, IT WILL GO WRONG, AND MOST LIKELY AT THE MOST CRUCIAL MOMENT TOO", it took a lot of impact out of most of the deaths because you began to expect them after a while.

Still a good read though, and CHOMP did catch me off guard the second time it happened. First time it had already been spoiled for me, but when it happened the second time, I nearly lost it. Had to take a break and listen to some music to calm myself down.

>> No.7395361

People who were spoiled about the chomp are royally screwed. One of the best shock scenes I've seen hands down. It took me around ten minutes before I actually believed it wasn't Takeru's nightmare, that's how shocked I was.

>> No.7395365

>>7395361

It can still fuck with your head if you don't know exactly when and where it's going to happen.

I remember seeing it mentioned in one of the threads, and all I could think was "well, that sucks". Then when I was playing the game and actually got to the part, it still shocked the hell out of me because it happened in such an unexpected place. I thought it was going to have some big, dramatic build-up, but instead it was just like BAM, DEAL WITH IT.

I went WTF considering the scene just happened after the drug/hypnotism injection.
