I'm still in the middle of it. The plot is the same as the majority of the older games, Fuck and impregnate girls. This one comes with a Oyakodon scene with each of the main girl's mothers + a couple of harem scenes including said mothers.

>So how many of you have read Ero Mahou?
In the process of reading, mostly in an LP format for extra kicks.

>Is it worth attempting to translate it into english?
Definitely. It's Sukebe Elf Forest tier fun. Which comes to no surprise since the writer who worked on Ero Mahou also worked on Elf Forest.

>Or is it just one giant fuck fest with a laughably bad plot?
I giant fuck fest. The plot is very light-hearted and non-nonsensical, but that's to be expected by a game that is supposed to be a sex romp about a guy fucking as many girls as possible and knocking them up on the side too. It's also got its share of RPG and isekai jokes, satire, and puns.

The H-scenes are pretty damn good, but my complaint so far would be the excessive voice acting during the H-scenes. There's no need to slur your voice as soon as the dude sticks his dick inside you. It makes me laugh and causes me to lose my boner.

That's a tough one. But it would probably have to be the Lalatina expy senpai scene where she rides Takumi's cock. As for describing it, there really isn't much to say about it. She, a crusader who has to keep her virginity to be able to ride Pegasi, wants to have vaginal sex with the protagonist after having a lot of anal sex with him offscreen. The protagonist, nice guy he is, is considerate of her virginity, so he ero magics some magical scanties she can wear that keeps her virginity intact, and then she rides his cock -- her huge and glorious titties bouncing about as he plays with them, sucks on their nipples, and he smacks her ass with a whip. There is also some kissing too. A very hot scene overall.

I don't think I hate any of the scenes I've played so far, though, really. Every one of them have been fap worthy. The voice acting definitely adds to that eroticism factor as well; I originally thought the Kaguyahime knock-off was gonna be an uninteresting character, but she is quite hot.

Jesus, coda in white album 2 is going on for a lot longer than I was expecting
i was doing setsuna's true route but after finding out kazusa's mother had cancer, i just had to switch. the idea of leaving kazusa alone kills me, plus i dont really care too much for setsuna. though i find it really odd that for kazusa's true route you have to have sex with setsuna in the hotel and get her family thinking you're going to propose. it feels a bit off. anyways i'm at like 2/6 in the story, and im surprised it isn't wrapping up, but still building plot points.

but in Setsuna's true, at least according to the guide i'm using, you tell setsuna the truth about kazusa and you, and then she encourages you to go see her performance, and won't take no for an answer, and then forces you to go take the train as she sees you off

Setsuna only tells Haruki to go the concert. But by the time he gets there, the concert is already over. And Kazusa is on her old home, weeping on the floor. In Setsuna True, you marry Setsuna by the end of the route. Haruki doesn't tell any truth about himself and Kazusa because in this route he rejects Kazusa's feelings for him.

I just finished Extravaganza and it was a very cool game. Game's probably very love-it or hate-it but it was a huge hit for me. Absolutely loved the system and the way the story progressed, and how you watched Yumemi grow up all the way to seeing her as an adult. The game was also extremely cool in how much the story branched and diverged based off of what you did, really nice to see. Also, the abundance of bad ends added a lot of stakes to the story. It's really tense when you don't know if what you are reading is heading down a fucked-up bad end or not.

If I were to offer complaints it'd be that I was kind of disappointed with the final chapter of the game. I thought that it had some really cool shit, but I would have liked to see more done with Yumemi.

I feel like this VN is pretty unique though. Not sure if there's really anything else like it.

Depends on what you want. Evenicle has a lot of "chase the plot", and sometimes the encounter rate of cutscenes is higher than the one of enemies in dungeons. If you actually want to play the game, it's annoying. And just the story? Ehh. Honestly, the gameplay was what made it interesting if you ask me.

But yeah, depends on what you want. If we are talking strictly story, I can't say it's worth it for that, but maybe that's just me. Very very bloated in that regard as well.

No. Go to village a, get plot and get told to go to village b. Get plot and told to go back to village a. Basically cutscene chasing. It's basically one the worst RPG designs if you just need to go back and forth between a few towns to trigger cutscenes.

I don't think I would call the game a nukige. The game takes place in a fantasy setting with a group of people called mushitsukai. These people have certain rules and customs that they live by, but primarily their life revolves around living with and using creatures called mushi.

After a mushitsukai named Rengo gets into a fight with another mushitsukai, he falls ontop of a car and kills the protagonist's parents. Rengo then kidnaps the protag and uses her to birth mushi that he can use for fighting, The game is pretty much about the protagonist's life, and the various absurd situations that she finds herself swept into after being dragged into the world of mushitsukai. It follows her life from being a kid to a teenager to an adult. Like a tone works game, but better.

Alright well I hit the credits so i'll just judge it purely based off the experience up until now
Absolutely great, it's been a very long time since I've had a VN get me so emotionally distraught, especially when there's nothing life-threatening going on. The writer did a very good job at creating tension, depression, distress, etc, without introducing any needless elements that would have brought down the story. I'm very happy I got the chance to read it, and I feel like it's set a new standard for romantic VN's that I doubt many, if any, will be able to live up to, for a long time.

>without spoiling anything, is dive2 compared to dive1 the Alternative to Unlimited?
Not really. Basically Dive 1 and 2 are two halves of the same game, three routes each with roughly similar structure aside from last one, they're not that different like MLA's Extra+Unlimited and Alternative are. You can even install both games and play them both through Dive 2's exe without having to save file transfer as if they were one game.

Some people like Dive 2 more, but I vastly preferred Dive 1. Dive 2 has a big issue with repetition (the two games as a whole kind of do): the first route of Dive 2 is mostly retread of Dive 1's third route but with a different heroine, the second route of Dive 2 is pretty great but right after it the game throws you a whole heap of compulsory flashbacks including ones you've already seen and the game doesn't recognize them as already read (meaning you have to manually skip between the portions that are actually new) and the last route is kind of divisive. I didn't like it that much because it throws away some of the stuff I found interesting about the game in favor of some pretty generic stuff.

Dive 1 also has problems with repetition to lesser extent, but when playing both games in one go the repetition in Dive 2 really gets on one's nerves.

I mean, you're trading out Force's shitty too-fast pacing for Sky's shitty too-slow pacing, and then tacking on every single light novel trope you can think of from the protagonist being Harry Potter to magical high school to lol harem hijinks around every corner, before it throws out everything from the first five routes and goes 150% chuuni for the last one, complete with a fucking spirit bomb and psuedo-philosophical questions that it answers and only afterward, asks what the answer could possibly be. And that's without getting into almost half of its major plot points coming recycled straight from Force. Rarely, they switch a trait or two from one heroine/route to another, but even that's rare.

Refining the gameplay, yeah, sure, that's an easy one. There's almost a full decade between the two games. As for the rest, it's a big improvement only if you think that stuff would improve a game.

Hiei is kind of a shit writer DESU, but that should be obvious to anybody who's read his stuff and sees his egregious misunderstanding of all the things he tries to reference. I can't remember if it was Force or Sky, but in one of them, he starts going over Asimov's Three Laws, and directly namedropping him even, and they were just bonkers wrong. IIRC, he said they were 1.) An AI cannot kill a human, 2.) An AI cannot be ordered to harm a person, 3.) An AI cannot violate logic (eg of cyberspace).

I'd actually be more way willing to give Hiei another shot if he gave up trying to write hard sci-fi and just did some ridiculous but fun chuuni shit. Force was just so dry that it made the cracks in his storytelling all the more apparent.

Be glad you didn't play Sky then because it's ten times worse, but that said, the thing that grates the most are the casual "I'm so clever" unimportant references he tries to make, like refering to all synthetic food as Onions Green. As in he keeps talking about how the downtrodden people have to live off Onions Green, with the furigana saying that means "artificial food." That's not what Onions Green fucking is.

There's some other choice bits in this big infodump about how much of a dystopia most of the city is compared to the rich arcology in the middle that's closed itself off from everything else. It stuck with me because he cites a bunch of economic facts that made me go "wait a fucking second here." Every metric he uses is significantly better than Japan or the US.

And then there's all the parts that were clearly machine translated. The filler English text on images is patently obvious, but most of the software terms were as well, like going Orchestrator -> 指揮者 -> Conductor.

Well, there are few interesting characters in Force, true. Maybe Bachelor, Liang, Qu Wong.
I got especially sick of Rape-Ex-Machina every route. Plus, Force is short so you don't relly get time to tell something interesting about characters.
In Sky, there is more time spent on character interactions and development.
Some say it's "shitty slow pacing", but I liked it. I liked the characters and it didn't bother me if I get to see more of them. The gameplay is better compared to Force. Here, you are incentivized to actually make combos instead of spamming 2-3 OP ranged weapons.
Sky is so much fun actually if it's your cup of tea.
Now, Sky has its flaws, like basically high school MC for first 2 routes who is kinda lost in what's happening around him but as you know more and more and Kou gets more and more competent, the story gets more and more interesting.
I'd recommend you to read Baldr Sky Zero cause it has a cast full of cool characters and interactions(superior to Sky imho), but it doesn't make much sense without Sky.

I just can't do it.

Makoto's route is pretty solid though, and if you like chuuni stuff, Sora/Kuu's is good too, I imagine. I can't stand it though, so Makoto's route is honestly the only one I think I'd be willing to defend.

The thing that always gets me about Baldr Sky's reputation is that the people who proclaim it seem to be entirely focused on the final route to the exclusion of all else. It's rare to see anybody praising any of Dive 1's routes, and half of Dive 2 is Reminiscene and a rehash of one of Dive 1's routes. It's not like there's some big reveal ala Nega0 that forces a reevaluation of the prior events either. It makes me wnder if it's lowkey sunk cost shit.

It was used to mean 'artificial food,' not 'made of people.'

I didn't enjoy it because the writing was crap. The main characters, Kou especially, lacked agency, and spent most of it twiddling their thumbs and bemoaning their fates. Routes kept getting stretched out by characters refusing to explain themselves, forcing a meaningless conflict, then in the next route, giving a perfunctory explanation to instead advance things. Kou was not the agent of change in the story, but a helpless oaf being dragged along by events that unfolded differently based not on what he did or the actions that he took, but by the world somehow changing based on what he happened to be thinking about at a couple different times. On top of that,Hiei kept making up new rules, violating them, writing himself into corners, and having to deus ex machina himself out. Time and time again, Kuu/the AIs would swoop in and do supposedly impossible things while the characters would just marvel at their good fortune.

But all his fuckups of the most basic things are far more memorable and speak more to the lack of effort put in.

It's been years, but what I remember off the top of my head as the most egregious deus ex machina are the timestop crap and Nanoha's good end. Both of those things are pretty inexcusable asspulls out of nowhere, and the latter even has characters talking about how much of a magical miracle it is. Besides that, the rules about who can talk /listen over chants change constantly, mind hack stuff changes almost every time it comes up, Baldr/Tranquilizer domination is inconsistent as fuck, and Makoto's magic cyber powers are the epitome of a constant series of asspulls.

You know how people can't stand Morgana in Persona 5 constantly telling you that you won't be going out and need to go to straight to bed?

That's Dive 1 in a nutshell; being told by other characters that you need to go to your simulated old dormroom to take a nap, only let out at the last second when a crisis develops so you can show up 15 minutes too late to do anything, and then needing to have your ass pulled out of certain death by someone else.

The explanation is that it's magic. AIs are overloading shit, but it only affects some things and not other things, and they can only do it at plot opportune times, all because magic.

And 2-3 intrusions by time wizards to resolve an unresolvable crisis per route is a fucking lot.

I'd also point out that Aki's good end has the exact same magic total reprogramming that Nanoha's good end did.

My main complaints about Baldr Sky is that at the end of the day, none of the characters were really that great or memorable, the main structure of the game is awful, and for how much it is praised the final true route is the worst part of the game and completely isolated me from the game. I hated how AIs were depicted in the game and the final villain was absolutely retarded. By the time I was on the final chapters of Baldr Sky I literally couldn't give a shit about the game anymore and just wanted to end it.

It's the only game that I have no idea why people hail it as a flawless kamige. Maybe the gameplay was so good people didn't really read it for the plot, I guess.

If you guys are interested there's a doujin released by Kikuchi Seiji, where him, Hiei and others are discussing Force, Sky and I think they get to Heart too. I still haven't finished it, because I had to stop when they kept calling Genha a great character.

Ended Zombie no Afureta Sekai de Ore Dake ga Osowarenai vol.3, started playing the series thinking that it was a mildly interesting nukige with good drawing and ended finding a best girl and a quite good writing with nice H-scenes. Strangely enough I had the game stalled since I play a bit when the Vol. 1 was just released and started playing it again when the others vols got released, then I got hooked.

The writer uses some cliches ways to make tension but uses his resources well so I got quite thrilled in the climax points.

Now I'm waiting for the vol. 4(though first the author needs to update the WN) and for someone to upload the vol. 0 (being poor hurts).

Man the Dies irae side stories (especially Morgendammerung) are absolutely amazing, I can't believe there is a version out there without them as I would consider them 100% required reading. I feel bad for the people who only had the Acta est Fabula version available to them back in the day and didn't get to experience them (in ADV format within the game at least, apparently they came out as drama CDs later).

Finished "Sinario 1" in CARNIVAL. Pretty nice story. The first time I suspected that this fight club kind of split personality might be going on is when one morning Manabu woke up, but I think he was narrating himself in the third person or something, so I thought the perspective actually changed to Takeshi.

Are the choices actually meaningful, or do they just contain H-scenes? I'm wondering whether I should read those first, or start the other "Sinario". I've only checked the very last choice, where one led to a bad ending, and the other led to this normal ending with credits.

Mostly H-scenes but there are minor aspects of the situation you miss without them, and they're all very short. Definitely not required reading or anything though. But I'd recommend doing Izumi's at least. IIRC Risa's end the only thing required to progress but Izumi's is good stuff too.

No, it's not the case. If you have trouble with Japanese in general then yeah, those and every other VN will be difficult, but if you are comfortable with it then getting accustomed to "chuuni" isn't really an issue. Keep in mind that chants and stuff like that make up like 0.01% of the entirety of Dies irae, the other 99.99% are just normal Japanese.

I personally really don't like this argument. Popularity doesn't mean anything, especially to someone who wants to get into a given genre. For someone like that, something light on the chuuni parts would be better.

I don't know enough of the chuuni genre to really help here, but just recommending the "most popular" chuuni is most likely not the way to go here.

Blatantly wrong, empty statement. I think you might be just one of those people who are a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian, and I shouldn't attempt an argument, but in case not:
Why do you think you need to start with "something light" (whatever that means, please define this precisely as well) when majority of people start with those and end up loving them? Where is the advantage in recommending someone a low quality / obscure game and potentially scaring them away from the genre altogether? Genuinely curious of your thought processes here.

I don't know about others but chuuni isn't really a genre that needs some sort of a readiness in my opinion. Might as well start with the good games.
"Do you like blood-pumping battles and verbose powerlevel wank or alternatively explaining how the Immelmann turn is a fucking awesome aerial maneuver YES/NO" and that's about it.

A lot who get immediately exposed to the depths of the genre will not get a lot out of it though. Dies Irae having been translated caused quite a few responses like that. As in, it taking itself too serious for how "stupid" some things are.
Personally I feel like easing yourself into the genre isn't anything bad either, given how special it can be,

>>19052251
>arguments
Not like you said anything but "it's popular".
As for the second thing, if someone is literally asking here to get something that is not the biggest heaviest chuuni out there (anyone can check EGS/vndb for ratings), you should probably not recommend those. That's the feeling I get. There are fairly down to earth works out there with some chuuni elements.
Scaring away from the chuuni genre works btw. in both ways. If the first game is just so "out there" with its chuuni that it's not enjoyable, then that's that as well. On the flipside something less chuuni could also cause that, but could also give an entry point which may make the popular stuff entertaining afterwards.

Chuuni is not for everyone and to me very much a genre where easing yourself into a little doesn't necessarily hurt. Not needed for everyone, but still.

No one did this. He was asking whether a game was good or not.

Like what specifically? Where do you draw the line? Chuuni by definition is over the top, that's the appeal.
>Scaring away from the chuuni genre works btw. in both ways. If the first game is just so "out there" with its chuuni that it's not enjoyable, then that's that as well.
By definition popular works scare less people away than unpopular works, so this argument doesn't stand either. If it was so out there that most people couldn't enjoy it... it wouldn't be popular. It's not like you're giving these games to your 75 year old grandfather whose sole knowledge of Japan is that they like sushi, you're giving them to someone at least somewhat familiar with eroge, in this case enough to learn Japanese, and specifically asks for the genre. With all that considered, I think none of your arguments against "popular things" are valid and that you're being a little too scared for no good reason.

Are there any modern VNs, that have "gameplay" in the sense of like choosing what place to be in at a given time or something minigame-esque like Romanesque's dice game and lesson plans for example, not gameplay like Utawarerumono's TBT stuff or real time battles.

Stick with it at least to the end of the first route for the first big twist that reveals what the game is actually doing.

beyond probably still has the best classic cartoon colourisation going for it. I think the guy responsible for it also worked on the dragon knight 4 remake among other things and left for silkys plus. people underestimate what a massive difference good CG colourisation can make. with the resolution increases of late you sometimes see this kind of overly detailed, "realistic" CG colourisation (e. g. biman), but this actually looks like crap because it is typically combined with highly stylised designs of human features, which does not fit at all together

After completing Senhinkan, both Hachimyojin and Bansenjin, I'm thoroughly convinced that the Senshinkan series is Masada's best piece of work. From the great SoL, the great chuuni action, to the great characters (The girls from the original minus Mizuki had eh romances but the routes were solid nonetheless) and to the fantastic villains. Whilst I loved Mercurius and Reinhard, I could by no means relate to their aims and ambitions, whereas with Amakasu and Jinron I could 100% see where they were coming from and could actually say they had a point (more so with Amakasu, but some people probably have felt similarly to Jinron at some point in their lives). Art and design were great, the bgm was on a whole different level. I look forward to Masada's next work and hope that he doesn't get stuck writing for a fucking mobage.

Just finished Island's "true" ending.

That other guy was right, this was one hell of a disappointment. Is this really the author's final draft for his story, the world keeps on reincarnating in the exact same form every 40k years? Seriously? That's fucking retarded, I'll take the time paradox of Setsuna jumping back and forth between present and future over that shit anytime.

You know, I could actually get behind the idea of Kuon being Linne instead of Rinne, I liked that additional twist and it added a cool new layer to Linne's character. I could have gotten behind it if Setsuna stayed with Kuon and they continued to live together and do SCIENCE for the rest of their lives. But the author wasn't satisfied with just that, he had to add extra layers of mumbo jumbo to overcomplicate the setting and to add insult to injury he had to end it with a vague "haha my journey is just beginning!" bullshit "ending". Rinne's ending felt a bit unsatisfying with her not regaining Linne's memories but at least it felt like an actual ending where things came together in a cohesive whole and had a sense of catharsis with Setsuna being freed from his time travel, succeeding in his mission and living happily ever after with the girl. Fuck, I knew I was getting into some kind of red pill situation with the true end but I was hoping the red pill wouldn't just be shitty writing. I wish I could forget I saw this ending, it's that bad. I hope the anime just goes with Rinne end.

Wouldn't go that far with Amayui, decently fun adventure/SOL stuff with conspiracies on the side so far but Fia just carries the whole thing due to the godly VA.

But yea its just amusing how this excuse is used for the MC to go do other side-heroines unlike Kamidori where the guy just starting having sex with everything without any explanation whatsoever. But with the world being Dir lifina with Gods and Goddesses and everything who work on different logic I can buy into this! Maybe.

I compared it to S;G:0 before and it's just worse in every regard IMO.
From MC to plot to even physics.
Even though S;G0 true end was similar, it was more fleshed out, more logical and more finished(because we know what happens next from S;G)
And that's while everyone and their mother shits on SG0.

The flora and fauna born are exactly the same in every loop, and the countless ice ages have absolutely no effect on the land. The course of history is always pretty much the same, and even the extremely unstable weather phenomena such as storms happen at the exact same time in the exact same way in every single loop. The MC lived through all of them thanks to cold sleep machines. Nevermind the fact that the insane amount of loops implied means that the weeks/months he'd been outside of the deep sleep would probably stack up into decades and make him an old man now, if not a cadaver. Ignore that and focus on his ability to remember events from timelines in which he never even entered the machine! Cool, huh? Also, reincarnation is real."
Now, I'm confident in my suspension of disbelief and I tend to approach fiction with an open mind.
Something doesn't make sense? I consider it MY fault for not understanding and I take to connecting what I have to form a conclusion I can accept. Not even SciADV and Baldr games could break me in that regard.
But ISLAND's true ending? It left me fucking shattered. Try as I might, any justification I crafted for it turned out even more outlandish than what I was given. It's literally indefensible, putrid shit. It feels like the last, desperate gasp for air from an author who, apparently, can't breathe unless he throws in a BEEG TWEEST every three scenes or so. It sours an otherwise excellent experience and the work would be far better without it.

Finished Asuka.
I don't quite get it. Do they both enroll into an even more prestigious uni than MC was in? How the fuck is he in the 5th grade when he was in 3rd(I think) before suspension?Is it that easy to switch unis in the middle?
I think I'll go with Rea for a change of pace. Then back to cutie Kasuri, then others.

inb4 you are a brainlet, G.O. worked in a lab, he knows better about physics.
I wonder if this little piece of shit with curly hair is also responsible for Rinne's outbursts and subsequently, deaths in all other "loops"
