I just finished forest this weekend. I really liked how diverse and engaging the pacing of the game was, it was a genuinely interesting title. On the other hand, I think I appreciated it much more after reading every article on the wiki to figure out what was going on. For some things, like what exactly the forest itself and Kako and Nozomi's relation were really difficult to grasp in my play through because, imo, they explained facts like that in a very convoluted fashion. I'm sure I'd of/will have a better impression when I play the game a second time.

In the mean time, Muramasa and Oretsuba every day. Currently playing Kanae's route, and Chapter 4 respectively.

When you open properties there will be a checkbox under the general-tab for read only. Probably not what your problem is anyway. Try installing it just under C:\ though, and not under a user.

So I beat CROSS+CHANNEL and didn't really like it. The idea behind it is kind of interesting but it was just too repetitive. I also didn't really like the characters.

Snow Sakura was simple but fun. It's nothing super great but I enjoyed it.

Tsukihime is a very good game and I had tons and tons of fun playing it. I think it's better than Fate/stay night.

I find translated VNs even more insufferable than dubbed anime. Every single translation I've come across is written in grade 5 English, so it's a fucking chore to read through hours upon hours of bland narration and dialogue.

Finished G-Senjou Maou earlier after having ignored it for so long.

I was pretty disappointed with the fact that Maou turned out to be Kyousuke's brother and the fact that there was no route or even an h-scene for Yuki. Also, I thought the rest of the routes were pretty underwhelming compared to Usami's.

All in all it was a pretty good read, though. The interaction between the protagonist and this guy was especially awesome.

[Sakura !RAILgUnr8s No.]

>>8111827
I was bored so I decided to do Hana's route in this...

It was quite awful. Basically the whole thing is they are dating but Hana wants to wait for the right time to announce it? So they finally decide to say it at the party at the end, but without them really saying that they are dating the game just ends. So I expected the epilogue to at least take place after they had announced their relationship, yet they STILL haven't? And they are still dating in secret? So dumb. I should've just stopped after Nokia.

The routes of Amane, Michiru, Makina and Sachi all have their own merit and are actually pretty different from each other so I could see people liking Sachi or Michiru better.

That sort of thing is seriously difficult and well beyond most amateur translators. It's often not possible to convey literal meaning of the original words while maintaining the original tone.

>>I'd prefer to play the one where you get to fuck the girls

>No, no you don't. The H-Scenes in Ecstasy are terrible. All it will do is lower your opinion of the characters and make you feel really, really awkward.

I was just wondering why the makers would decide to put in H-scenes in the game if they are so bad that "they would lower my opinion of the characters". Does anyone else agree with that? Even the Kudo Wafter after story game ended up being an eroge. If there was negative feedback to extacy, why would they make Kudo Wafter an eroge as well? Was trying to cash in on lolicons worth alienating other potential customers?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8124094
the only negative feedback is from prudes on 4chan, in Japan Ecstasy sold more than the vanilla version because most eroge buyers aren't deathly afraid of seeing porn in erotic games

If there's ever a choice between ero and non-ero versions of a game, I always go with the eroge version because it's more realistic. People who are in love have sex. That's how real life works.

Ero is holding back the potential of eroge

Didn't you get the message.

Besides, didn't Ecstasy add a ton of content aside from the h-scenes anyway? The script size for Ecstasy is 50% larger than the original at least

I highly doubt that. Wouldn't they have something better to do, like read VNs in Japanese, rather than complain about a translation they will never read?

The ero scenes in LB are shitty, most certainly. But so are all Key ero scenes. They just aren't erotic in the slightest.

Most people in real life do not have sex immediately after saying they like one another. And regardless, why would you want it to be realistic girls anyway? Next you're going to tell me you prefer most heroines not be virgins because it's more 'realistic' that way.

True, usually people have sex before saying they love each other.

The difference is that couples not having sex in fiction is unrealistic in a dissatisfying way, usually. It signifies a lack of romantic development, similar to if they never kissed.

[Sakura !RAILgUnr8s No.]

>>8125342
Well yea. It annoys me when someone reads a translation and then complains about the Japanese author's writing. But it seems silly to complain that English translations may read awkward or something. The translators are doing their best (usually) to give back to the community. Don't bully them so much.

>>8125399
>is unrealistic in a dissatisfying way,
Maybe for you pervert. Most of these characters in question are kids, who have never kissed, never been in a relationship, etc. It is not unrealistic in the slightest if they do not have sex immediately after confirming they like one another. I have numerous friends that have dated multiple girls for weeks, that won't have sex until marriage. It is hardly as unrealistic as you are trying to paint it.

I think you just want to see lewd scenes and are trying to make up an argument to make it seem there is more to it than that.

>It signifies a lack of romantic development
No. It doesn't. What are you even trying to say? You can be in love with someone without having sex with them. And you can have sex with someone without having romantic feelings for them at all.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8125420
I'm trying to say that things like holding hands, kissing, and having sex contribute to the development of the romantic relationship between the protagonist and heroine. A relationship devoid of any physical component whatsoever would feel fake and shallow. The line is often drawn at sex because people are uncomfortable with it being depicted too openly but that doesn't mean it can't play a role in romantic development like a kiss does.

I won't deny that I enjoy lewd scenes most of the time, but that's not all there is to it. I'd even take an unarousing ero scene like one of Key's over none at all because for me they serve more purpose than just fapping material.

[Sakura !RAILgUnr8s No.]

>>8125489
>contribute to the development of the romantic relationship
Sure, but I could only see that if the relationship has been going on for awhile. In LB!EX, one route for example (Sasasegawa Sasami's), at the very end pretty much it's "I love you" "Prove it" *sex scene* it's absurd, and hardly realistic at all.

Since it's being discussed, I'd like to chime in as well.

Properly translating any work is something that very few men/women are capable of doing at a level where the original writer's voice and tone are left intact. This is not something a pack of amateur rogue japanophiles can convey with very little training and education.

But then again, a lot of people have no appreciation for a story well told. I suspect these are the same people who would rather read pancake crystal elder than learn another language.

I'm playing Muramasa at the moment, finished Kanae's this past Friday. This game is quickly becoming/already is my new favorite game, the previous of which was Subahibi, with the exception of Oretsuba, which I've been enjoying just as much, albeit for different characteristics it possesses that Muramasa does not. I'm absolutely infatuated with Muramasa's speeches, the dialogue in powerful moments, the discourse on justice and the nature of revenge in Ichijou's and Kanae's route, is some of the most powerful text I've ever read in any literary context. The sheer force behind the words is overwhelming. Combined with the elegantly narrated battles, and simply awesome events, the experience so far has been irreplaceable.

I'm going to keep playing this until I get to Chachamaru's ending/mini-route, and then I'm going to put it down until I can really sit down and soak up the ending, i.e. during winter break. I'll be playing Baldr Sky Dive 2 until that day comes, of which I'm reading all the flashbacks for Mako's route.

I've been wondering. Is there a translation tool (in the vein of chii-trans and TA) that, instead of using an english dictionary/JDIC for looking up words, instead uses entries in Japanese dictionaries, like GOO-jisho, to give you the definitions of japanese words in japanese? As a learning tool, I can't help but imagine that would be more effective

[Kudryavka !!wEyYEw5OlKU No.]

>>8128470
It is a good way to learn, but I don't see why you need a specific tool to facilitate it. I personally use a Japanese dictionary to look up all words I don't know just because a lot of the English definitions are bad or don't explain in nearly enough detail.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8128525
It's mostly because it would be extremely convenient. I keep TA running even though I don't require it simply because if I slip on a word, the definition and reading is right there for reference instantly, as opposed to having to manually enter it into a dictionary. Furthermore, if I run into a kanji I don't know, having to guess its reading based on its radicals, or worse having to search it up via its radicals, is time consuming, so I always have ITH running. Being able to integrate a Japanese dictionary into that process would simply be much more efficient and convenient than manual entry.

Of course that wouldn't stop me from using Japanese dictionaries anyways, would make life easier though

I have a question about Muramasa (Kanae and Ichijou route spoilers only)
In chapter 3 Kageaki killed an odd number of people, Misao's father, Misao, and Kanae or Ichijou. When you add in that he killed the hatched egg and George in Chapter 4, who did he kill to offset Ichijou/Kanae if they were killed at the end of chapter 3? The only way I can wrap my head around this, is that killing the hatched egg "didn't count", but I don't know the basis for that. By the way, I'm only up to Chachamaru's appearance in Muramasa's route, so if the answer to this question is contained in something I haven't read, please point it out in your response

First of all, you can play through chapter 3 without killing Kanae or Ichijou, killing only Misao and her father. If you do kill one of them, Misao survives, and the number of deaths is still 2. Then pretty much the same thing happens in chapter 4, with George and the egg instead of Misao and her father.

What is up with the letter in Amane's bad end, is Kazuki actually alive? I heard that we'll see more of her in the upcoming games next year, but will that be a flashback or something set in the present?

[Anonymous No.]

I'm playing Kara no Shoujo for the first time, and it's pretty wierd. I just died, and I have absolutely no idea what went wrong, because the game gives no hints whatsoever.

So, my only choice is to start over and choose different answers randomly, hoping this time it would work, because it isn't clear what all those possible choices would result in. And I'm not sure I want to do that. Doing a bunch of trial and error save/load session on order to continue doesn't sound like my kind of fun. I would use a walktrough normally, but this game is about doing detective work, so that would kinda kill off half the fun the game has to offer. So, I'm kind of a loss at what to do.

So it sucks? That's kinda disappointing considering that i just paid for the damn thing.

[Sakura !RAILgUnr8s No.]

>>8140394
You shouldn't really pay for something without knowing too much about it. Especially an expensive game like this. Either way, I never said it was terrible, just that there are problems.

I know, it was kinda an impulse thing though, i saw the trailer a few months ago and got really excited and pre-ordered it but then i forgot about it till i got the invoice.

I've finished MLAC01, started on MLAC02 and also started Baldr Sky. Fun times.
I've been lurking and posting a little /m/'s ML threads for the last week or so, and those threads are quite interesting because the ML threads here and ML threads there are quite different to the difference in the nature of the boards. (I am almost tempted to get a Revoltech TSF model now)

Anyone here read 果てしなく青い, この空の下で?
I just finished it and I really liked it, great mood and the writing is really good even though it can be a little slow.
The story is also pretty interesting and Fumino is an awesome heroine

I did, and yeah it's pretty great. Topcat's アトリの空と真鍮の月 is a spiritual sequel of sorts, and also spends some time exploring the events of Hateshinaku. Be sure to check all of the omake parts in Hateshinaku until 男達の憂鬱 if you decide to check Atori.

Great character. His voice acting was god tier, his little laugh was awesome

Started playing Sayonara wo Oshiete. Expecting craziness.

Is there a specific order I should go through the routes or can I do them in any order?

[Anonymous No.]

Make sure to do Mutsuki last, you can do the rest in any order.

It's Da Capo. What do you expect?

Finished Koko's route a few minutes ago. Boring as fuck, but at least her H scene was kind of moe.

I Have a question:
I was checking the already translated stuff and other games (Baldr, Kamidori), so:

What are other "must read" visual novels, eroges and nukiges that are considered "really, really good"?

[Sakura !RAILgUnr8s No.]

>>8144378
Oretachi ni tsubasa ha nai, Ro-Kyu-Bu, Muv-luv Alternative (sure you already know that one), Steins;Gate, Milky Holmes, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, etc.

Not sure on must read nukige really...

List probably would vary from people to people, check vndb lists and sort by either popularity or rating, then see for yourself the ones you think are interesting.

I've played To The Moon and...goddamn was it amazing. By far one of the best stories I've ever read. It was a bit pricey at $12, but worth it.

You can download it here

Started playing Little Busters again. Figure I should get the last couple routes out of the way that I never finished when I played it ages and ages ago.

Going back to a VN I played over a year ago really makes me realize how much I've improved my Japanese in that time. Feels pretty good.

Ahahah, oh wow. Fandisc for Princess X, who wants more fuck you from the writer?

I just realized that 3/4 of all eroge-releases every month are uploaded by one dude. God help us all if he ever decides to quit.

New Kaguya is out on share btw. Time to fap.

This isn't really a VN, but it's only 4 hours long and is pretty great story wise. The gameplay and graphics aren't great, but it's well worth playing.

oh nice, Material Braves official site opened. nothing new that wasn't in getchu earlier tough. But release date confirmed for 23.3 now.

What are you talking about? Looking at Share, the uploads for this month are fairly evenly spread through several different IDs

Maybe the fandisk will be what people actually expected from the original game in the first place

Marketing and trial sold the game as your average high-school "choose your girl" harem.
Actual game was nothing like that and basically unpleasant to read, with some pretty ridiculous routes where you could feel the writer was either at loss or making fun of people.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8147272
That doesn't make too much sense to me, but basically, it was a landmine and had a genre shift somewhere?

[Anonymous No.]

The worst part is that you had 4 heroines that were advertised as main heroines and pretty much everyone was under the impression that it would be a normal kind of game where they'd all have routes or an ending or something.

But it turns out that only one of them really has a good ending, the others have basically bad ends, and one of them even gets NTRed

[Anonymous No.]

>>8147325
It wasn't as big as a genre shift, the plot just sucked with heavy irritating writer commentary.
One of the main plot points is that humans unlike monsters have the power of "lies" and this somehow becomes like a superpower that allows the main character to stab one heroine after telling her she loved her, for literally no reason. Another had a cute childhood friend turn out some crazy rapist who'd lock up the MC and rape him while beating him up, with closing paragraph going about even humans are "monsters" inside and you shouldn't judge from appearances.
It was that kind of really really cheesy shit written in a way that was meant to be taken seriously.
Without mentioning about there were no happy ends anywhere like someone mentioned.

[Anonymous No.]

The protagonist was pretty shitty too. Such a faggot. Well clearly the writer was not interested in a happy union between monster and human so that makes sense. But still, a protagonist that's prejudice against monsters and hates them in a monster girl game? Bleh.

But I'm convinced that it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I think it's some sort of weird meta humor or something

Like how the sub-company of Cyc Soft that developed it is called Poison Berry?

Does anybody have/can transcribe the lyrics from Hikaru's song in Muramasa? The stylized kanji in those scenes are driving me up the wall. If possible, I'd like to get the complete version of the lyrics, i.e. the one that's shown when the Golden Dawn starts in Muramasa's route

Just went through muv-luv extra/limited/alternative marathon. Just wow, on how Alternative went. Wish I saved that 3/4 panel art from /m/ which pretty much described how I felt. I had read a lot of time-travelling novels before which the mc is practically time machine jesus so Alternative was a pleasant surprise. Should I try Altered Fable? I know it's back in Extra style setting.

SSS: Muramasa, Subahibi,
SS: Oretsuba, Muvluv Alternative, YU-NO (Saturn ver.)
S:Sengoku Rance, Himawari (PSP/PS2 ver.), Clannad, Ever17
A: Grisaia, Eustia, Tasogare no Sindasasdf, Tsuyokisu, Ayakashibito, Masaru, Lost Colors, Steins;gate, FS/N, Tsukihime, Baldr Sky Dive 2 (Sora route is S), Baldr Force, Sayonara wo Oshiete, Nijuuei, Sharin no Kuni, Haruka ni Aogi
B+: Dies Irae + KKK (play both absolutely), Artemis Blue, Steins;Gate (Only if you play it through all the way), Majikoi (May belong in A), G-Senjou no Maou,
B: Concerto Note, Baldr Sky Dive 1, Bullet Butlers, Chronobelt, Asairo, Tsui no Sora lots of games
B-: Trample on Shatten, Noble works, lots of games

Etc. I think the cumulative list of S-B- games would come out to a quality list of around 70-80 titles that most of us would agree are worth the ranking, and/or see the merit that placed them there. This is just to list a few ones that I personally found to be exceptionally memorable (Particularly the SSS and SS titles).

I'm reading Sayonara wo Oshiete right now and it seems like it makes no difference. I've read Nozomi's route and working on Miyuki's currently, but EGS has a tag that says there's only one end. Should I bother to do the other routes besides Miyuki's or just go straight to Mutuski after?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8150089
Mutsuki's end is slightly expanded, the other endings are the same (but the routes themselves aren't). Do Mutsuki's last.

That's unfortunate. Perhaps I should have put the "imo" disclaimer at the beginning. Muramasa and Subahibi are my favorite games by a long shot.

If I'm going to feign objectivity in what is solely my personal judgement, which is largely based on writing quality and my experience with other eroge, then; Put Muramasa in SSS, and reduce everything else, except for perhaps YU-NO, to simply S. Satisfied? Recognizing that there can only be one game in Muramasa tier

Also add Parfait to A, forest to A/S, Rui wa Tomo wo Yobu to A, Saihate no Ima to A, Soshite Ashita no Sekai Yori to B+/A, among others.
