Never grinned so hard playing a VN. It was okay all in all but for some reason felt empty after playing all the routes. Maybe because none of them really stood out.

I just want the fandisk to be translated so we can make sweet love to the loli alien.

I felt like it was really well put together in some ways, but really generic in others. I really enjoyed it while I was playing it, but had little motivation to turn it on in the first place, since it was more the humor and stuff that drew me in anyway. At least the voice acting was fantastic. I agree on the fandisk though, her not having a route in the main game is almost unforgivable.

I agree that it was well put together and honestly entertaining as fuck but the routes themselves had so much more potential. The "story" in each was pretty mediocre and I felt could've been much more.

Also I'm pretty sure most of the dialogue, even during serious scenes, were definitely not serious. It was so cliche and over the top that my face hurt from grinning too hard.

Yeah, it felt really tongue-in-cheek a lot of times, which is nice sometimes. Like I said, it was definitely the humor and how polished it was that drew me in, the actual underlying substance of it wasn't really anything special. It's nice to take a break from serious stuff and read something like this, but it's honestly hard to decide how "good" I think it is overall...

>> No.8690010

The fuck is going on?

So I decided to get My Girlfriend is the President, and damn, this is the Saints Row: The Third of visual novels. That should be enough and I can just drop the proverbial mic right here and walk away.

So the story is as such, after an intense space battle, a space ship crashes into Japan and blows it the eff up. To cover her tracks, Qoo, a loli alien, decides to brainwash the entire world to convince them that a random girl is the president of the country ‘The United States of Nippon’, and moves the White House to cover the crater. The girl who is now president, as the title doesn’t suggest at all, is the protagonist’s childhood friend Ohama Yukino. The protagonist, Hondou Jun, is the vice president, and his best friend Morita is the director of intelligence. Jun happens to be unaffected by the brainwash by sheer chance, and thus Qoo has to convince him to play along. After a freak jetpack accident, he ends up saving a girl from a group of terrorists, and that girl happens to be the president of ‘Rusia’, Irina Putina. Along with the presidents, there is Miyoshi Ran, another childhood friend of Jun, and Ell, the spaceship that crashed into Japan, who Qoo turns into a teenage girl because why not?

Does the JAST release of this game come with DRM (Digital Restrictions Management)?

>> No.8690015

>>8690010

The act of brainwashing the entire world gets the attention of a race of alien known as the guardians, who are trying to turn Earth back to normal. To do this, an alien in the form of a panda tries to kidnap Ohama while she’s at a hot spring and... I, I just can’t.

The set up for this visual novel might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen, and it’s amazing for it. The actual character routes, however, can get a little generic if you peel back the several layers of crazy, which is disappointing. But I guess the fact that even though Ohama is the president she STILL ATTNEDS HIGH SCHOOL and then the first day back to high school the Rusian president TRANSFERS TO THAT HIGH SCHOOL and thus this high school HAS TWO WORLD LEADERS AS STUDENTS is a pretty silly little addition.

Did I mention one of the girls is actually a spaceship turned into a girl? Yeah? Well did I mention Qoo transforms another spaceship into another girl who then tries to kill Ohama and the original spaceship?

Did I mention the first spaceship IS AFRIAD OF HEIGHTS?

You should play My Girlfriend is the President.

I hate Steam. I physically own games I cannot play. Granted it's partly because of my own stupidity and their support service are pretty helpful, but the idea itself is ridiculous. Why "gamer" kids support it is beyond me. Wouldn't you like to just install a game and run it? Like you used to?

>> No.8690086

The video game industry in the west is just a massive clusterfuck at the moment. Gamestop de-monitizes physical sales for the companies, but Steam is a virtual monopoly on digital distro while being some of the biggest horseshit around. I don't get how the whole machine is still churning along as lopsided as it is.

Honestly, I've never understood the love steam gets. It patches my games? This was barely a problem, most online games had patchers built in before steam.

All it allows is for companies to charge exactly the same price as retail, despite retail needing huge costs for shipping and publishing games.

The sales are a nice idea, but if you enter any retail shop, the PC games are cheaper than steam's brief sales. With no need to get rid of stock, valve can charge 40 bucks for a game forever.

Also, it runs like pure ass for me, taking forever to open despite it sucking 100k of RAM constantly.

People are seduced by convenience. Centralization is always a bad thing, but people like it because it saves them a bit of time. In return they let companies force DRM down their throats.

DRM is manipulative and dangerous. Educate your friends about the dangers of DRM.

Oh man, speaking of prices, I know a guy in Australia, Steam charges him close to double the price you would pay in the US or EU. Typically he has to pay a little more for stuff due to shipping and tariffs and shit, but Steam is charging him extra to 'ship' a digital copy.

It's Duke Nukem Forever: The Visual Novel.

It was mildly amusing at first as it lampooned all the typical visual novel / anime clichés and conventions, but then it unapologetically fell into them all itself without a hint of irony.

I enjoyed it for the first couple of hours.

>> No.8690164

I don't have a problem with steam for DRM. It's fairly non-obtrusive (unless you count having to have steam installed as obtrusive), and actually adds useful social features to games like achievements (unless you don't like being social).

It also encourages people to buy games directly from a publisher or indie, benefitting the developer rather than your typical used game store.

>> No.8690184

>>8690164
>(unless you don't like being social)
Really? REALLY?

It's non-obtrusive when you realise you can turn off the ads every time you want to play a game, but it constantly locks up for me, and logs out of my account inside the terrible browser. The main page pops up seemingly at random, blasting me with ads for the latest CoD or Skyrim.

Valve takes a slightly lower premium than publishers, but the amount of money that goes to devs is exactly the same for any retail game wether it's sold on steam or in gamestop. For indie games, buying it direct from the dev is a better choice, valve takes around 20%.

The play, The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno, by William Shakespeare, was first performed around 1600. Since then, it has proven to be one of the Japanese language's most enduring stories, and there has never been a decade that hasn't seen dozens of new productions. The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno has come to the screen numerous times, in incarnations varying from early, silent versions to grand, color epics. As the curtain fell on the 2005 visual novel season, another The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno has opened. And, in a statement that I do not make lightly, this latest version is not only the best directed adaptation of The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno I have ever seen, but the best visual novel expression that I have come across of any of Shakespeare's plays.

Part of the enduring appeal of The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno lies in its complex characterization and twisty, tragic plot. Ryo deals with, among other things, madness and revenge, sex and love, politics and treachery, and ghosts, both real and figurative. Yet, despite the depth and weight of the issues it essays, there is still a great deal of humor and good, old-fashioned adventure. The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno can quite literally make you laugh and cry, hiss and cheer. 10/10
