Well. I am under the impression that there are good ends in White Album 2. Are there not? I just wanted some nice drama and love triangle business with a happy ending. If there all bad/depressing ends though then I guess that is a different story.

I can't see what you disliked so much about Eustia and Grisaia.
I mean, yeah they both have flaws, Eustia is a bit dragged out at times, can be a bit preachy from the protagonist side and the last chapter is hit or miss but everything was high quality on average.
And Grisaia had some weaker routes and may have been too long for what it was but again it was a very enjoyable experiences with great writing and characters.

Talking about flawed VNs, I think Rewrite, IroSekai and Tenshi no Hane could have been up there if they were more solid before their last routes, all 3 had great concept and setting but only their last routes really delivered.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 31 12:15:43 2011 No.8322001 >>8321967 In my opinion Eustia's last chapter is shit. It shits upon Caim's characterization that was built upon on the previous 4 chapters.

You guys should play "don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story" by Christine Love. It's a proper VN written by a real author rather than poorly scripted porn written by Jap virgins. Of course you guys have no taste, so you'd probably pretend to hate this (award-winning) VN just to feel like special snowflakes.

I don't know if I am impressed at that statement or not. The walking animation from room to room was a major pain, I agree.

Well I just finished Koharu's route in White Album 2. The drama was poorly done and the plot was a little underwhelming, and the protagonist was a bit too much of a hetare for my liking. But it was still a fun read. I liked the art, and Koharu is super moe.

Also, Setsuna and Takeya reminded me of Sora and Masa from Baldr Sky for some reason. Visually similar I guess?

New Twinkle Crusaders PSS trial out.

http://www.lillian.jp/kurukuru2/taiken.html

New things seem to include tweaked stats for balance, particularly for the Princess Witches (making them slower and a little less broken), though Shin's team also took a few nerfs as well.

There's also a new, fourth battle against Lillian-sensei, and your party is randomized for that battle, for whatever reason. At least it gives you a chance to use maou Shin, awakened Nanaka, Azel, and Merilot.

Material Brave, Eiyuu Senki, and maybe Bunny Black2 are all so far. If Eushully can make card battling decent, I'll give Arterial a shot, but I doubt it. Everything about it screams filler game to me.
I feel burned out on real VNs these days and they all feel like they're just running together and relying on the same old schticks with hour after hour of pure filler to stretch them out. I actually appreciated Corona just because of how short it was, even with at least probably 10 hours of unneeded padding. Maybe I just need a month or two to detox.

Not a stellar year as far as I am concerneed, Sanjinkou and Eustia were the only games I consider good (as opposed to "pretty good" or "OK-ish") but neither of them was anywhere near as good as the best titles from 2009 or 2010 either. I still have WA2 left, hopefully that will be better.

Is that game actually good?
I only finished the moral committee heroine's route and lost interest reading the other routes cause it's pretty average. (Also she's too slutty.)

I was also half-expecting it to genre shift into a proper fighting vn too.

It's weaker than their other games, yeah. Story doesn't have very good pacing, art is pretty bad in places, some things are left completely open - basically it looks a lot like the game was rushed. Text and music are what you can expect. I'd mostly recommend it for people who played and liked all three previous games.

In case anyone played the trial and found it strange, it's because it actually covers the third chapter of the full game.

yeah Arterial does feel a bit of filler game, but recently every game Eushully has made has really caught me in, so for me atleast I believe it will be good fun. I'm also big sucker when there are options to go with either good or evil routes, +there will Haisherra cameo aparently, and hell plotwise it already seems more interesting that Kamidori was atleast. so I'm all hyped for it even though it has all those uncertain elements if it will be as good as their previous games, but I do understand why some people aren't nearly as enthuastic about it as I am

[05:42] <Moogy> blorgh
[05:42] <Moogy> i can't handle white album 2 any longer
[05:42] <Moogy> dropped
[05:43] <Moogy> somewhat into closing chapter
[05:43] <Moogy> scenes in closing chapter last way too long and i don't care about any of the characters so i can't handle it any longer
[05:43] <Moogy> my main complaint is that the game is not really a "story" per se, it's just drama
[05:44] <Moogy> i will say that it is quite well-written for what it is and i can't call it shit
[05:44] <Moogy> but it's not interesting to me in the slightest
[05:44] <Metarail> but isn't that whats it supposed to be about, drama
[05:44] <Moogy> yes, and that's why it doesn't agree with me
[05:44] <Moogy> if you like 昼ドラマ then i'm sure it's fantastic, like i said the writing is very good
[05:45] <Moogy> but there's nothing else really driving it and that's not enough for me to keep reading
[05:45] <Moogy> at least not for however godawfully long CC is
[05:46] <Moogy> also the BGM is fairly unimpressive and there aren't an abundance of tracks if i have to nitpick something else (besides the art, the CGs are improved greatly in CC but the tachie are roughly the same quality)
[05:47] <Moogy> they also apparently redid some of the more awful CGs in IC
[05:47] <Moogy> for the IC+CC release
[05:47] <tomas> yep
[05:47] <tomas> the original CGs in IC were truly quality
[05:48] <Moogy> anyway i wouldn't really recommend CC unless you can handle 3mb+ of 昼ドラマ
[05:48] <Moogy> if you can, have at it i guess
[05:52] <Moogy> anyway i can't imagine there are this many people who agree with what the game is doing and its length
[05:52] <Moogy> so i'm suspecting major maruto fanboys and 工作 re: EGS

Actually compared to Tonogawa's route Lucia's route actually connected well.
Chihaya was a mess with some stuff barely making sense like the whole situation with Kagari by the end.
And Shizuru showed nothing.
At least Lucia's route showed the truth about the Guardian organization including its darkest part which was much needed since one of the point of Rewrite was that the whole conflict wasn't good vs evil.

She's an already cliched kuudere, which is pretty much the most boring character archetype ever and it doesn't help that her chapter 4-7 is basically filler with almost nothing actually relating to her happening and then most of her ending is just flat out not explained.

How can you blame R07 when he only wrote 1 character route, and it was one of the only ones of passable quality? If anything, the worst writer in Rewrite was Romeo, considering he route most of it, but then, I've never liked his works or thought he was very good.

Just finished the Hatsuyuki Sakura trial.
It was fantastic - I didn't expect it to turn out this way at all. It looked like a moege/nakige from the official site, but it turned out to be much darker and more story-focused, kind of like G-senjou no Maou if it involved supernatural elements and Kyousuke actually was Maou. There were quite a few twists and foreshadowing in the trial alone.
That was probably a bad comparison, but if it sounds interesting I recommend giving it a try. I had to download some random patch off Hongfire to get rid of the "This Game is Japan Only' error, but it was worth it.

Nevertheless, the game is really unique compared to other wstar games.
The characters are also well-designed and the BGM really suits the eerie and mysterious atmosphere. Preferably, the game needs at least HCG for Renge and my dick will be satisfied.

Finished the trial
Well the writing won't win any awards but it's pretty good.
The heroines are great and I laughed pretty hard in some scenes.
The seriousness of the plot was definitely pretty surprising but I don't know if the writer will actually have the balls to develop it in the direction the trial hinted.
So right now it's still wait and see for me but it has potential

Sakura and Nozomu were awesome

Thanks. Kamidori progress seems to be moving along (assuming that is the title) but the plot seems... really weak. Hopefully the game itself is a lot of fun.

I'm curious about the language used in eroge/VNs. Generally speaking, how far from normal, acceptable japanese is it? I'm asking because translated stuff so far seems like mostly fine english, but when I try to read it in japanese I don't have much of a standard to judge it by.

Seems to vary a lot by author since every author has their own style.

For some commentary by people who would know differences:

ex: Seiken no Ignanock is supposedly written in a more poetic style ( Commentary here: http://tindabox.net/blog/index.php/2011/12/iambic-liarsoft-an-inganock-side-project/#more-147 )

Cross Channel is supposedly written very differently (commentary from a few people here: http://amaterasu.is.moelicious.be/forums/index.php?topic=946.0 )

From my own (useless and uninformed) speculation:

I'd imagine that the Japanese used in many eroge dialogue lines is going to be on par with the English used in Dexter's Laboratory or Johnny Bravo or any other sort of demographic targeted medium. I'd imagine that something like Umineko / R07 is going to read much more like a standard Japanese mystery novel. But I don't think there's going to be any one definitive answer.

I've said it before, but loli route in Kamidori is actually pretty decent and the best of the three by a wide margin. Kuudere is the worst by a healthy margin too, but that has the highest priority, so I really don't know why Eushully pushed her as the main.

After finishing Aoiro Rinne last night, it got me wondering just what the toughest eroge are to complete. I found Aoiro Rinne's scenario structure and the system used for choices to be excellent, but the difficulty to complete it without resorting to following a guide is very high.

Does anyone know of any that are tougher than Aoiro Rinne? I've read YU-NO's loop system is similar to Aoiro Rinne's, but I haven't read YU-NO, so I can't comment on that.

I finally decided to marathon Nanoha's route in Baldr Sky and apparently got her good ending. Sweet jesus, calling it an "emotional rollercoaster" isn't going to do it enough justice, is it? After Rain's flashback filled route and lukewarm ending, Nanoha's route really improved my opinion of the game. Let's hope the future routes will be as good or better than this.
But I'm probably taking a break from Baldr again and reading something shorter for a change to let the emotional *fwoosh* calm down.

you probably choose the wrong game to reread, Symphonic Rain like many other games hinges on the feeling of being immersed in the atmosphere and wanting to know what's next, so of course a reread feels less impressive.

I really liked Sumaga, but it was a pity how much the characters degraded over time. Spica and Garnet basically turned into sex toys after their routes ended. It's like the writer got bored of them and just said "fuck it", and wrote about the characters that were still interesting to him.

You are in for a hell of a ride. Invention is fucked up, but Looking Glass Insects is the one that will make you rage and cry. Insects is pretty much the most disgusting, frustrating and enraging thing I have ever read.

Also, Kimika is the best. character. ever.

ItsuSora has a huge genre shift and goes from moege to shit hit the fan left and right with lot of powerlevel.

Tenkuu no Yumina also has a genre shift and huge expansion of the setting, game begin with a simple "war" to be the student council president.
And end up with the party fighting a sentient universe in a Super robot

Hello, World can also be categorized as genre shift, begin as a simple moege but then the shit hit the fan.
And just when you think the game is ending the shit hit the fan even harder.
And just when you think it's finally the end the shit hit the fan so hard it's unbelievable.
Goddam it was a long game

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 5 13:53:49 2012 No.8358060 >>8357916 Any route order for Hello, World? Because so far it's just like you said, average sort of setting (just started). Unless this is another forced order unlock one.

There is no real order to recommend.
But one route will take you a good 30-40 hours or so and really the first time you play the game is the best since that's where you get all the surprises.
So you should do the route of the one you like the most.
For what it's worth my favorite routes were Mika and Chieri.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 5 14:44:50 2012 No.8358293 >>8358060 I'd recommend leaving the true ends for last. They are all the same except for the epilogue.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 5 14:49:50 2012 No.8358318 >>8358136 Thanks, don't have any particular picks at the moment. I just went back and watch the demo vid that I skipped, looks like I will be in for some surprises.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 5 15:11:20 2012 No.8358429 Are all of these in japanese? I'd really like some but can't read most of them... I've tried those real-time translations with atlas and the sort but to no avail...

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 5 15:15:51 2012 No.8358441 Is there an estimate on the little busters ecstasy translation? Also, is ef any good?

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 5 15:15:51 2012 No.8358443 >>8358429 Most of the ones discussed here are indeed in Japanese. Have you already ready the translated ones? vndb.org has a very comprehensive list of VNs.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 5 15:16:22 2012 No.8358449 >>8358441 Ef has crazy production values. EX translation should start after then holidays, and it's three routes, so give it a year at least.
