Sure, I see what you're saying there and yeah the game is not without its flaws (pacing issues, the gratuitous rape and some of the antagonists "hey look at me, I'm so evil" come to mind).

Thing is, I have yet to read/play/watch anything that explores its themes as perfectly as Muramasa does. The routes contrast with each other, Kageaki seeks different things and behaves differently in each route and heck, even the endings are contrasting.

Muramasa isn't even my favourite eroge. I do think it is by far the most complete, and the best, one I've ever played though, and I'm not afraid to say it. I can't even think of a scenario where someone who has fully understood the game and what it has tried to do not appreciating it. If that comes across as obnoxious or heavy-handed, then so be it.

Pretty much started this only for the imouto, and as I thought- I didn't think much of this game. But holy, one of the VA was ridiculously bad. Minako. Not to mention I forgot to patch the game and on her route the voices didn't match the lines.

Finished Little Busters after a 4 year wait, now I'm trying to fill the gap but I can't figure out what to do. I put Demonbane, My Girlfriend is the President, Galaxy Angel 1 all on hold. I don't think I'll finish Demonbane as I already finished Al's route and the others seem rather boring.

Also redownloaded Koihime after having lost it in my previous install. Only problem was that I got pretty far so I don't feel like re-reading everything, yet I think if I skip through everything I'll probably miss stuff I've forgotten.

Also downloaded Majikoi, and am downloading Hoshizora no Memoria in preparation for the patch.

[Anonymous No.]

Just finished Majikoi S. The way they handled Koyuki in the final route was just dumb. A completely tacked on heroine in a "what if Yamato had invited her into the group"- scenario? Come on, just give Koyuki her own route where Yamato fixes her with his dick.
Warmly expecting Majikoi SS with routes for Seiso, the Ryouzanpaku girls and more Benkei. Much more Benkei.

>>8512620
after Agave felt like a better Yuki route than the actual Yuki route, and that's something. It was honestly just annoying seeing Yuki thank Yamato so much for accepting her when you know he didn't in the other 90% of the story.

Honestly I can't remember endings, its been a while. I probably liked AI's routes best out of all, with Ruri normal end way up there as well. Ruri route reveals circumstances surrounding the Hadou rise to power and it's struggle against black lodge. Reading her route will make her way more relevant in the plot then she first appear to be.

>>8512791
Yeah this too. Pretty much all the routes are going to explain some unique parts of the grand scheme of things. I just didn't care for sandalphon nor the sister's history since with her identity being pretty obvious, made me lose motivation to read her route since you just feel like you know what will happen or the route will be very predictable.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8512906
Honestly, I'd recommend that you put it down unless you're reading it in japanese. The english translation is not only littered with severe inaccuracies, but worse, because of that the experience and merit of the game becomes totally defaced. I didn't reread the whole game when I learned japanese, but I reread key parts, and my initial impressions, a 6/10 rose to a 9 because of that. Not necessarily speaking ill of translations in general, but that one was notoriously bad.

Come to think of it, I was watching a friend of mine play Alternative translated and had the same impression about a lot of its text. Though I'm not really sure if that's because the translation or editing was bad, or because the power of certain parts of the original couldn't transition over to english very well.

Cross Channel is that bad, yes. I don't know about his later stuff. However, I did get a glimpse of forest, and was baffled by some elements of the translation. He did that this month.

On the other hand, to be fair, in my opinion, that game cannot possibly work in any language but japanese. It utilizes the implicative tricks of the japanese language and vague particle listings in every other line, and because there is no insignificant line in the game (except for some portions of some ero scenes) fucking up any aspect of it continually is easily fatal to comprehension.

At the same time, I'm not a participant or player of translated games as of like 2 years ago, so I also recognize I don't have the expertise or details or insight of someone active in that field. Thus my criticism may well be invalid.

Seriously agree Koyuki route should have been name something else.Though i wish it was seiso route with yamato and seiso facing each other off but she got defeat so early it a bit dissapointed. Why didn't Yoshitsune have a any CG at all? Also agree Tsubame route wasn't great not to mention her constant nattou is a bit annoying in the other route.

I kind of understand what you mean; Japanese (and Asian languages) are too different to English, but that doesn't mean it can't be translated. I think this conversation has taken place countless times but Japanese isn't a mystical language that can express things other languages don't. For that reason professional translators study languages very deeply so they can find ways to express the same things in different languages.

You just can't use the same thinking process that you use when you translate from French to English, than the one you use to translate from Japanese to English; sometimes sentences must be changed completely to convey the same feeling. But we can't ask that much to non-professional hobbyist translators, and we just should be thankful that they dedicate so much time to this.

If we are proficient enough to pinpoint their mistakes, we may as well try to help them, don't you think?

Anyway I think this is my first and last post because I don't want to derail this thread into a VNTS one.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8514604
My bad, I didn't really mean to "bash" but to provide reasonable criticism. On the other hand, when a game gets translated by someone, another, perhaps more competent translator has no impetus to redo it. I think with relics like Forest and Cross Channel and MLA, it would be best for him, or perhaps his team I should say, to not have translated them at all. In my opinion, the quality of the translation should always be of a greater imperative than the quantity in order to preserve as much of the experience of playing the game as possible. I haven't played forest or MLA in english, but I've seen portions, however the title I did play, Cross Channel, the damage to said experience was far greater than the excuse, "it's good enough that it's translated" could suffice.

Then again, with a rabid crowd of people demanding translations, I only really have the authority to say that because I wouldn't feel the loss if it was there or not.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8514627
> I think this conversation has taken place countless times but Japanese isn't a mystical language that can express things other languages don't.
Sure. But unless you plan on rewriting the entire thing, there is stuff that just doesn't translate properly or the same way.

>>8514631
>when a game gets translated by someone, another, perhaps more competent translator has no impetus to redo it.
Let's be honest here. This is very silly thinking. How many VN translators are out there that actually finish projects? How many of them are better than Ixrec? And then how many would've translated MLA etc?

that was sort of the point, the focus wasn't on the actual conflict but on the setting and how military trainees lived under the threat. I guess this is another case of people getting into the series for mecha and explosions and being disappointed by finding out it's about something else entirely. This doesn't make it a bad game however.

you're still judging everything from the point of view of of the last bits of mecha and action. Muv Luv was a decent game on its own before Alternative came out.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8514746
Point is, if they're gonna induce a sense of panic into the player, why don't they just let the aliens attack the base for once? The main character doesn't even need to have some actions in it, but let him witness that these aliens aren't fucking around. And if they want to show you that clearly, humans are sliding toward the losing side, they could've flashed some frontier news on the TV when the squad has some R&R. That shit is more exciting than watching the main character flirting around with his teammates.

And talking about mech, how the hell did Takeru's gaming skill translate to actual mech piloting skill? An arcade machine has around 6 buttons for action commands (8 at best) and 1 or 2 joysticks. Actual mech has got to have at least 30 buttons, levers and switches. Again, how did his skill translate?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8514793
Again, it wasn't a war drama, it was a character game with genre shift. And they did sort of do that anyways with the sudden attack towards the base where Takeru faints, I'm pretty sure it's one of the basics of horror/suspense that not showing the menace feels more threatening than showing it.

Also, Takeru's advantage wasn't just in the controls (I don't remember much about the console, so unless you can quote some lines any number of buttons is just going to be conjecture), but that he was pretty used to all the vibration and sudden jerks of the machine already, whereas everyone else got completely destroyed by it.

>And talking about mech, how the hell did Takeru's gaming skill translate to actual mech piloting skill?

Well it better be a war drama because the main characters are the ones fighting the war. If they were civilians the whole time, yeah, run away from all that fighting and deal with the life of war refugees. A better execution of this kind of story would be Jarhead (2005), not an excellent story in anyway but that's how to keep a constant tension without engaging your characters in actual combat. Just 1 or 2 false alarm attacks aren't enough tension, but if they play up that trick for the 5th time, I'll honestly piss my pants because every attack could whoop your ass.

A better execution of this kind of story would be Jarhead (2005), not excellent by any means but that's how you keep a constant tension without engaging your characters into actual combat. The game here has 2 false alarm attacks, and quickly after these 2 have gone through, the game returns to its comedic shticks, like the attacks never had an impact on the characters to begin with. They squad should have been haunted by the attacks, but they never were.

Extra is average, to be fair, and Unlimited pretty decent. The genre shift, lack of good ends and sense of defeat made it a pretty good utsuge-like experience.

>>8514865
It was convenient to the point that the simulation behaves exactly like an actual arcade games so that it could "cancel" a jump and "pre-input" a move before the current move is not done yet. That doesn't make any fucking sense. Those are fighting game terms. In those games, the model can only perform a set of pre-programmed moves with fixed animation, the 2 moves can't be animated simultaneously so inputting 2 different moves at the same time will force the arcade machine to queue up the moves. A real mech does not move by fixed animation so it doesn't need to queue up commands, there is no "pre-inputting" when you simulate a real thing like that. I was surprised the game did not throw in "block stun", "air parry" and "frame skip"

>>8514941
You obviously didn't understand shit.
The cancel jump and pre-imput things were thought up by Takeru and made into a new OS, before him the simulations didn't have this.
As it's stated in the game the only difference between Takeru and the others is that he can have a fresh look on things.

Takeru during MLA had 3 years of training behind him, of course he is stronger than the others.

So he made changes to the simulation software, how does that help the purpose of training anymore. The simulation is supposed to reflect actual combat so now if you make it into a game, your skill ain't worth shit when aliens come owning your ass.

And speaking of 3 years of experience. They could easily cut off half the script of Unlimited and spend that length to show the battle with the aliens. Of course humans will lose, of course Takeru will have jump back in time again to fix his shit, but at least we can see how Takeru mature into a full-grown war veteran and dare I say, making the ending of Unlimited even more poignant knowing that the dude can't save humanity despite his efforts. See, the game just denied every opportunities to be actually awesome.

True, planning to anyway. Alternative could be an awesome game and I'm not judging it. I'm just criticizing the first game for not being a strong standalone game. And I'm just wishing Ixrec's script doesn't ruin Alternative too much, which is what this conversation was originally about. Who the fuck knows, maybe I'm just watching a Deathly Hallows Part 1 and didn't touch a Deathly Hallows Part 2 yet.

Then tell me what it is. Unlimited is a huge mess to begin with. It started out as an alien invasion story, then halt that whole story for a good length to become a school slice of life, then it turns into a military story when the squad has to go to the island for boot camp. Then returns to the school slice of life, then stopped for a moment to remind you that "Oh yeah, there're aliens out there, remember?" then gone back to school slice of life again like that last event had zero importance. Then finally the mecha genre comes in (took them long enough) only for a search and rescue mission. Then back to school slice of life. Then somewhere in the latter half there is some romance in the story that had next to zero branching to give each heroine some minimal private interactions. How much chemistry did the romances have? About the same amount of time they make you remember there is a war going on.

I used to loathe Sky Girls for having too much slice of life for a military and alien invasion story, but compared to this, it doesn't seem so bad now.

It wasn't an alien invasion story. It was a slice of life in a military training installation with a vague alien invasion as the backdrop. Alternative's second half is the alien invasion story.

Not him, I played it eight or nine months ago. It's still one of my favorites. I acknowledge that it's far from perfect, but I gave it a 10 out of 10 back then, and I wouldn't change that. The atmosphere created by the backgrounds, the narration and the music was enchanting. Every time I hear that two or three tunes from the OST I feel like I've just finished playing it.
No routes, not much ero? I don't care. Hiyo is perfection. I cried. That's about what I wanted from this kind of game. I can see how people who have problem with these things will not rate the game as high as me, de gustibus.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8515168
Aah, see? Fundamental mistake right there. This kind of story would work really well if in the backdrop, the war is balanced on both side, no side is clearly winning and the military rookies are having their training leisurely, caring less about the war going on. Sky Girls at least hit the right note on this part. But it's not that, it's established fairly early on that humanity is losing at a bad rate and the war could end in a flash at any moment, and then didn't make a big deal out of it. Now if they make the humans having the advantage instead, then aliens turning the table in the last minutes and suddenly bringing a dangerous threat to the squad's leisure life, I can totally see this kind of story works. As it is right now... no.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8515231
But the war was at a point of balance at that particular point in time. The front lines had recently moved in the humans' favor two years previously (capture of Yokohama Hive) and had been kept more or less stable in Britain, Japan, Egypt, Siberia and Malaysia since then. The situation was pretty bad overall with most of Eurasia belonging to the BETA, but the humans had managed to achieve a stalemate of sorts. The stability of the front line in Japan is part of why the atmosphere in Yokohama Base was relatively relaxed.

Okay niggas, I really liked Unlimited when reading it, even with all the hype for what would come next, but you can't really say that it wasn't designed as a prologue.

Maybe 'prologue' isn't the right word, but, while it has plenty of merits of its own and IMO entertains well, it was a huge setup for Alternative. I mean, the game can't exist without a continuation, and that's why age wanted to release Alt at the same time as the first game.
So yeah, the feeling you get when finishing Unlimited is a mix of incompleteness and inmense hype because you're about to play the inmensely hyped one.
With all the unanswered questions and potential plot points left in the air (even the subtle foreshadowing of the time traveling back, think the undeserved focus they put on the boat scene), I really ended up thinking of UL as a huge set up for what was coming. I mean, the whole setting of Alternative is based around Takeru retaining his memories of Unlimited.

Because the humanity being at a loss part has been going on for literally years by that time. It's a constant, rather than something happening suddenly, and people learn to deal with it in theor ordinary lives. They're trainees and you're basically complaining they aren't moping around all the time for something that began before they were even born? Takeru also had the excuse of not fully really realizing the situation he was in, which is something his development does explore.

I think it's because many newcomers are retards about it. As for myself, I can't read untranslated AVGs because I'm too unmotivated to reach a proficient level in Japanese and it's been like that for years, but I've always tried to search for myself and I enjoy what I read since the first time I read a VN until today.

Asuho --> Isuzu --> Komomo --> Kosame --> Chinami

Asuho should probably be done first, and Chinami most likely last. Kosame has to and should be done right after Komomo. Komomo has the best atmosphere of the initial three routes and actual plot, but not the best romance, hence I suggest doing hers last.

Kind of exciting to see that other people are playing Dies Irae as well.

Question, playing Kei's route, feeling like I'm close to the end but I don't know for sure. There's this one thing I didn't really get in chapter 13: What is it that happened with Marie? I get that she left the guillotine and then was transferred over to Beatrice's sword, but HOW did that happen. Shortly after that scene, Shirou mentions that he and Kasumi were a medium for that (well, granted that Shiro did throw her across) but in what way did they mediate that process. Also, I guess I don't necessarily understand why it was necessary, outside of to help everyone, and because both Ren and Beatrice were fated to lose against their opponents. If this will be explained in later routes, then please let me know. I'm just not sure if I missed a detail because all the components aren't really clicking into place as a unit for me.

Also that scene with C/Karl and Shirou was fucking AWESOME. I can't fucking wait for Marie and Rea's route. Haven't been so pumped to play a game in a while

I recently reread it in Japanese, first time was in english years ago and while it was much more agreeable to read that way and pretty much a completely different experience, honestly the only route I kind of liked was HF.

Maybe it was because I did Dies Irae+KKK before which had pretty much everything I wanted from this genre or maybe it's some sort of unconscious backlash that force me to downrate it.

I finished watching Koihime Musou, all 3 seasons a while ago. Should i give the VN a go? I was debating with myself heavily if i was going with the VN first or anime adaption first.

I hope i didn't screw up.

That's my opinion on it too.
HF was good, but that's about it, DI is just a lot better.
FSN would be better if it balanced better plot, characters and fights. there are like 2-3 good fights in the whole thing.

The world of Nukige sure as hell isn't lacking in this department. Nobody should help you because you are just stupid.

That are in english (or a least that have a patch out since I can't read kanji), that should've been obvious. Also, I've played most of them, but since you're a retard, you fail to follow a simple train of thought.

Nukiges don't need translations, fuck off.

Translating nukige is a waste of time, only official publisher touch that shit.

Also, Nukige isn't what I'm looking for, I couldn't give to shits about the amount of sexual content in it, I want mature heroines rather than highschool students which most of you want; I don't want cute, I want sexy.
Now fuck off, since you clearly have no idea what you're on about.

So eroge with only 15 year olds in a highschool setting can?

[Anonymous No.]

So normal eroge that mostly always has the same fucking setting and stereotypes can be translated but nukige that has a different ages of characters and settings cant, cool. How are you guys not fucking sick of eroge already, its the same highschool shit over and over again.

Beggars can't be choosers. Just learn Japanese if it's a problem. You can use a text hooker if you can't read kanji. Complaining will not get you anything.

I hope you aren't who I think you are, again. On the off chance you're serious, Yu-no has a couple of adult heroines and even the student ones feel older because of the old artsyle. Dunno much else with teachers or adult heroines in english.

90% of eroge market is over-saturated with nukige that was made cheap, sold cheap and barely anybody gives a shit about. It's the nukige shit we should be sick of, not the tame eroge.

More like im tired of the same shit that i cant even read normal eroge with being bored to death. I want to fucking play as a man getting actual women not a fucking 14 year old who i could care shit about. this is why remember 11 was good, because it didn't use at least high school students, even college students are better then that shit.

The only thing I agree with you is that Remember 11 is an amazing game (at least much better than the likes of MLA or Type moon stuff that get discussed over an over in all boards).Other than that, you´re acting retarded

Finally finished all 5 routes of Galaxy Angel 1.
Was a pain to complete all the battles, I ended up reading Yakitate Japan whilst letting the battles play out.

[Anonymous No.]

And that's it, finished Asairo.
It was incredibly well done and written, especially loved how this scene played out, so well brought with the whole story I could only think about how beautifully done it was.

Glad you liked it, it's pretty excellent.
Too bad it got a bad reputation when it was released due to the lack of routes

I didn't even mind it, all the characters were really well developed and relationships with half of the girls would have made no sense at all Harutsuge is not the kind to be into incest and Waka had her issues
Also I liked how Jin and Nobuo were trying to improve themselves for Araragi and Harutsuge in the end.

Finally done with the Abel section in my chart.

I have the same problem as the person who recommended it to me, explaining what it's about without spoiling it leaves you with what you can find in vndb.
It's a lot more than what it looks at first glance, that's for sure. Also really well done thematics.

Hmm... this month doesn't look so great. A lot of sequels/fandiscs to stuff I don't care about/don't like. At least Shiny Days looks good. (sasuga overflow).

[Anonymous No.]

This month has Exodus, a sequel to an atmospheric game about quantum physics, very relaxing and enjoyable game that was tragically incomplete, leaving on an incomprehensible string of events and an even more incomprehensible ending which utterly ruined the whole thing, making what would have been a respectable game entirely into shit.

However, however, if the sequel finishes the story and is more of a sequel than a fan disk, I think it'll be really worth playing. The theme of Distortion was definitely interesting enough to me.

Also Navel Plus. Asuka is my wife. I fucking love that woman. My only beef about this is that while Jackson is milking, there's no gaurantee or indication that he's working on his next game, which i am very excited to get to play if it is ever released.

[Anonymous No.]

Well, finished trample schatten - damn Kawashima Rino gave me awesome chills as a hot-blooded character. The main story imo, is decent, and if anything, the shortfall comes from having any routes at all - 3(4) were utterly throwable (very obviously), very much an after-thoughts.

Probably tackle either asairo, evolimit, or grisaia next. Going to toss a few coins to decide.

On a related note can someone tell me what the difference between Passion Star Stream and Starlit Brave Xtream is? I know one of them is all-ages but is it only a different version of the same game or are they different games with different stories?
