Reading Analogue: A Hate Story in Japanese to practise my Japanese.

>>11667952
i'm reading katawa shoujo in japanese

>>11667957
The full Japanese version isn't out yet, only the Act 1 demo.

I think the translator might have quit or something.

>>11667964
Is there really a userbase for japanese translated EVNs?

>>11667948
God fucking dammit OP. Now I have to replay Kakyuusei again. The damn thing is like, my most favored game in all existance.

Reading 我が家のヒメガミさまっ！ Hime is so fucking cute, I'm melting. Reminds me of Hina in himanatsu. The story is nothing special, neither is the writing, it's just run of the mill under one roof stuff with a shinto(?) twist.

Not looking forward to anything in particular I guess except for the new tanukisoft in January and senshinkan but that last one goes without saying.

>>11667998
Wasn't that like, the infamous NTR game?

>>11668010
No.
That's Kakyuusei 2.
Which is almost a worthy successor if you pretend Nanase is the main heroine.

（´・ω・｀）

>>11668024

Uhh is that a birthmark that is shaped like a logo?

>>11668024
>>11668027
I hope it's a tattoo or henna or something cause if it's a birthmark that's beyond stupid

I'm playing Eroge and YU-NO at the moment. Probably Kara no Shoujo after YU-NO, but it will be a while before I get that thing read.

Mitsuki is a damn sexy woman.

>>11668030
Never read ruitomo?

>>11668024
I am really glad the the "Helper" character is this Hulotte title actually has a route this time.
With Ribbon gave me such blue balls from not being able to give Protagonist's Daughter from the Future who came back in time to ensure she was born the dick.
Shame you need to unlock it though.

>>11668036
I went "fuck this shit" at the letter

>>11668037
Why didn't they learn from the manga they ripped off and have the MC just fuck everything in a super orgy true end?

what,what the hell is strat? did they seriously made such a mistake or there is some kind of joke which i cant see yet?

Just your average japanese engrish

>>11668047
Why don't you e-mail them about it nerd

>>11668047
Double checking with a dictionary is too much effort when most of the intended audience won't be able to even tell or care.

>>11668049
>>11668051
well i dont really care about it too,but i thought they would know at least some simple english words since they are a company.

>>11668027
>>11668030
It's a mark, but not a birthmark. It's the result of a magical ceremony that the protagonist's sister did so that he gets popular with girls in order to conquer his target of affection. It works as a sort of affection meter, and the more attached to a girl the protagonist gets, the closer to red it gets. It has all sorts of implications, and actually ended up not being as stupid as it might seem.

Speaking of which, I'm finishing up Kanae's route and just started her epilogue. Solid route with many good moments and a cliché but well executed scene to solve the problem at hand.

>>11668057
Do they ever actually bring the mark up again after the scene introducing it?
I've only gotten to the beginning of Kanae's route before I stopped as I realized I wasn't getting into Megumi's route anytime soon the way things were going.

>>11668057
ah i'd like to ask one question about that game, it seems pretty good but since all of heroines (except sister) interested in mc just because of magical ceremony i dont really feel like playing it. Does magical ceremony ends at some part or all of heroine & mc relationships will be stay as a fake? i dont really care about spoilers, please explain something which could make me interested in this game again.

>>11668057
That's a nice font. It's actually legible.

>>11668070
At least one heroine likes him long before the Ceremony happens.
It's feel more like an affection multiplier that makes wacky eroge situations happen rather than making everyone instantly fall for him.

>>11668085
i see, so its not like all of heroines are deredere, i guess i can deal with that much then.also the sister seems pretty good,missing her would be a huge loss.Thank you very much.

>>11668064
They never really touched up much upon it directly, just that the protagonist can't get too close to other girls if he really wants to get into Kanae's pants (incidentally, being nice actually literally locks you away from the choice of rejecting them during their confessions. There's a bunch of things related to the ceremony, though. I assume there will be more info during Meguri's route, which is initially locked and you need to do the other 4 routes first. I've only done Kanae's so far, but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with Maina and Aoba.

>>11668070
That's one of the reasons why I'm curious about Maina and Aoba's routes. In Kanae's case, the ceremony ends up having no effect while in Miya's case she liked him before the ceremony.

>>11667997
/a/

>>11668097
/a/ doesn't know japanese, or they wouldn't fight so much over sub groups.

>>11668100
/jp/ doesn't know japanese, or they wouldn't have weekly VNTS threads

>>11668094
i see, if its not a bother can you write something when you finished maina and aoba too? it would be really great help for me,and i dont really mind of waiting so you can take your time as much as you want.

>>11668094
>They never really touched up much upon it directly, just that the protagonist can't get too close to other girls if he really wants to get into Kanae's pants (incidentally, being nice actually literally locks you away from the choice of rejecting them during their confessions.

Yep. Read all that.
And winded up alternately reading chapters from Miya's and Maina's routes when it became clear that Meguri's route wasn't happening like I thought when it dropped me straight into Kanae's.

It's nice to see that the two side characters have routes, especially when one of them was one of the first character designs they officially revealed, albeit with a different

No idea of Triangle titles are worth getting worked up over, but somehow I'm really excited about this. I bet the NEET girl is really fucking cute when you manage to break through her hostility and make her trust you.

>>11668140
I'd like a game in reverse.

You are the NEET and various girls try to break you out of your shell.

So in zerokiro only the last choice matters?

There's so few of them.

I figured it would be a good subgenre seeing how a significant portion of customers are hikki/neet.

>>11668201
That's the exact reason they don'¡t want a pathetic NEET as MC.

Welp, KiraOto was a disappointment even considering my low expecations, and Izayoi no Fortuna isn't uploaded yet. I guess it's time to see if Slavenil is as bad as it sounds.

>>11668257
>KiraOto was a disappointment
What was wrong with it? I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

>>11668201
I think for a lot of actual hikkis, it might hit too close to home. Most of them probably have some pretty deep scars associated with their lifestyle, and a game that tries to address it in a way that's relateable for the player might just be too painful.

There's this I've had for a heroine I'd really like to see in a setting like that, though: A bright and cheerful girl who comes to check up on the hikki protagonist once in a while, but doesn't really understand his situation too well. She earnestly wants to help him out however she can and make him cheer up, but she's way too naive and oblivious. She'd have scenes like complaining about how dark his room is and pulling up the blinders, which would make the protagonist panic because he's afraid of people being able to look in. I'd like to see a heroine like that some day.

So basically you guys want a Welcome to the NHK eroge.

>>11668269
What a sick fetish

Strange question: Is there a game where they whisper a lot?

>>11668272
It's not a fetish! just ASMR.

>>11668269
Probably Anne Frank

>>11668262
It's just poorly done. The heroines are lackluster. I had hoped it would at least have some enjoyable humor around the MC, but no such luck. It only managed to get a couple of chuckles out of me. All would be forgiven if at least the art were good, but it isn't.

I mean, you can give it a shot if you want. I didn't finish it, but based on the flowchart it seems to be very short. Maybe you'll find it funnier than I did.

>>11668031
I'm playing YU-NO too. Did you guys use a guide for the game? It seems difficult without one. Also KnS is pretty short compared to other games.

>>11668263
Yeah, Lovely Cation gave me panic attacks at the start.

That sucks, I was looking forward to it too.

Kind of.

Huh. Finished Katawa Shoujo last week (Every route) and finished Sakaki's route and Sachi's route in Grisaia no Kaijitsu.
>No slowpoke picture pls,
Dropped Mirai no Uta because Miku is a lame tsundere character, and the scenario was utter shit.
Also dropped Yosuga no Sora.

>>11667997
Yes? That's like saying, "Is there a market for Japanese-translated English novels?"

The Japanese make some great porn, but English-language visual novels are better as novels. They embrace the "novel" format whereas the Japanese tend to embrace the "manga artwork" aspect more. Analogue: A Hate Story feels like you're reading a real book, and a damn good one at that. It would be a science fiction bestseller if it was published as a printed novel instead.

Japanese visual novels are just porn with words. Which is fine, because that's what they aim to be (and they do a good job at it).

>>11668283
I played it once from start to the end of a loop without a guide, then started using one. Gets a bit on the nerves having to click everywhere until you trigger the next even on a happenstance.

>>11668577
Sure thing dude.

>>11668577

Go to bad, Christine.

>>11668689
She doesn't need to go to bad, she's already there.

Read most of Asuka's route in Neo+ second sisters. Pretty straight forward development but the ero scenes were hot as hell.

The prologue was pretty much taken directly from the first game, with the addition of small scenes for the new characters. I also checked out a bit of Sakura's route and while the early development is the same as the first game, they changed / added in new ero scenes.

Just started Djibril. I watched the H-anime around 10 years ago and have fond memories of it, even though it was probably shit.
I'm really liking Aoyama's voice in this, her moans are quite erotic too.

Also these two are cute.

>>11668586
Aggregated reviews are the most stupid invention of the internet age.

Here's a fair review from a reviewer who is qualified in otaku culture:

>>11668762
> I watched the H-anime around 10 years ago and have fond memories of it, even though it was probably shit.

Yeah it really was. They didn't show pink hair girl in the buff even though she was the cutest one. I guess the animators didn't want to get arrested for making images of a naked little girl.

I thought about learning Japanese to play this series, but then I didn't want to get arrested for downloading pictures of naked little girls.

Being otaku is suffering ｏｒｚ

>>11668777
I remember being extremely disappointed that Luvrial only had like a 5 second tentacle scene before it switched back to Rika.
I hope she has more scenes in the game.

This is something that I always like about ELF games. The characters blink, move their heads or fidget.

Perhaps it struck me the most when you first meet Sakurako in Doukyuusei 2. You see her looking outside the window, and then she turns her head to look at you.

>>11668762
I wish they finished the 3rd game and adapted the 4th and 5th.

Especially since the 3rd had Miru voicing the android, even if the android herself sucked compared to Rika and Hikari.

>>11668941
Seriously.
The little things like that made Doukyuusei 2 a real pleasure to play.

>>11669234
Ah, the BGM for that scene. "Tsuki no Yume" was lovely.

>>11669637
Don't worry, the sequel has an after story route for each of the heroines.

I'm frustrated.
我が家のヒメガミさまっ！ started off really nice for the type of game it was, until it got to the point where it suddenly gives you a choice between two route branches regardless of your prior choices.

Especially when the option that's there to make you feel bad and that you would think leads to a bad end is the choice that's needed to get onto 3 of the 4 heroines route, and the other option railroads you onto the main heroine's route regardless of prior choices.

Can someone recommend me some titles with nice しゅらば scenes that are well-written and well-delivered? Something along the line of Damekoi and WA2.

>>11669801
itsusora
Also, WA2 has しゅらば scenes? I might have to give it a second try.

just finished her route in kamikaze explorer, it wasnt bad but their ichaicha scenes were really boring,and im pretty sure mc said "kawai" at least 250 times.can i expect something else apart from boobs from other routes? im not really searching action or some kind of deep story, but at least they should make ichaicha scenes a little better.

>>11669852
I enjoyed Mishio's route alot more than any other of the heroines, maybe it's just the voice although

Hey guys, anyone know where I can get the Meiryo font so I can play me some Kamidori? I've been searching heaven and earth for them but no dice, can anyone help me?

>>11669852
Kotoha's route is by far the worst. Try another one, see how you like it. I, personally, liked Saori's and Mishio's the best, but I definitely enjoyed the other two as well.

>>11669970
how would you rank them overall?

>>11669399
Is World End Economica really that bad? I'm in the middle of 'getting' it.

>>11669994
Been a little while since I played it, but I'd probably rank them Mishio > Saori > Manami > Fuuka > Kotoha.

>>11670054
I made the mistake of playing Mishio's route first, the rest of the game besides Saori's route felt really weak in comparison.

>>11670054
i see,well playing kotoha first wasnt a bad choice then.i guess i will play saori now, then fuuka and manami, and mishio at last or mishio first and saori last.Thank you very much

The font comes with OS windows Vista, 7 and 8. See https://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=2133..

Just starting the pic related, now that's a heterochromia that I almost didn't notice. Usually the artist contrast it more heavily like bright yellow or red. This will be my gap filler while I wait for my action style fix.

Started futagoza no paradox since it should be somewhat short and I liked owaseka.
What a great description of tsunderes this novel has.

Is there a VN out there with themes like Genshiken? A bunch of Ota/Fujoshi doing otaku things with a story revolving around that?

>>11670191
The oreimo novel?

>>11670196
Hmm. The otaku part is more like an element rather than the main theme in those, though.
>>11670199
I guess this is as close as it gets.
I have a feeling I'd just play kuroneko route and ignore everything else, though.

I just wanted to dive into something with heavy dosages of otaku culture, but I guess Genshiken type stuff is uncommon.

>>11670231
In retrospect it's probably not as bad as I made it out, as I suppose I was overreacting a bit to the bad taste the entire sequence left in my mouth due to getting railroaded by the option that didn't make me feel like a dick.

The animation when Ruka first introduces herself is really awkward.
I hope that's not a reoccurring thing.

>>11670476
To be honest, those animations were my favorite thing from the game. I was able to finish Yuri's route, but overall, it really isn't a very good game and I don't plan on reading the others.

Bloody hell. I picked the non-obvious choice to go for the other 3 heroines in 我が家のヒメガミさまっ！and this thing just turned into a nukige. What the fuck

>>11670485
The SD animations are cute, but the sprite ones looked really cheap and out of place to me.

If it isn't that good I'll probably read one route and call it a day. Seems fairly short anyway.

Fully animated 720p eroge when?

>>11670516
Oh, comparatively, it doesn't use nearly as many sprite animations aside from when Yuri eats her cookies.

Are there any eroge/VNs with realistic rape? As in, the heroine is actually scared/emotionally damaged by the rape, without the cliched mindbreak you usually find in rape scenarios.

I'm a Luna fag too but Risona's route (actually Otome Riron as a whole without counting the 2 side routes which aren't long anyways) is damn great, probably the best thing released this year

>>11670789

Ok, thanks. I think i'll play Runa's after-route and then put it away for a while so i can "get over" her before doing the rest.

I'm overdue for a horror game.

Does anybody get that feeling where they're playing a game and interacting with a particularly awesome heroine, and start to feel bad for her because she's stuck having to talk to/love such a mediocre protagonist?

Why are protagonists always shit?

>>11670962
You're supposed to self-insert, Anon.


My heartfelt apologies if you already were.

>>11670962
>Why are protagonists always shit?

There are plenty of games with decent protagonists, just simply avoid games that have dokan and hetare protags and you'll do fine in this regard.

>>11670972

How is that even supposed to work? The totality of the conversations are driven by the text that's already there. My only power of influence over the protagonist are the 4-5 insignificant decisions that I'm given.

You can "self-insert" all you want, doesn't change the fact that the game will be the same for every player.

>>11670973
>Why are protagonists always shit?

There are plenty of games with decent protagonists, just simply avoid games that don't have donkan and hetare protags and you'll do fine in this regard

>>11670977
You play pretend. Lego bricks are just plastic cubes. There's no "rulebook" that explains how to stage an assault on the dragon's castle. But some building and imagination later, and the heroes are smashing the castle to smithereens!

>>11670980
Some donkans and hetares are good, just like some cool ones are shit.

>>11670983

If legos were "choices" in games, your analogy would be accurate. If you build something with legos, you have a structure at the end, you don't have a bunch of legos, and an image of a structure in your head.

The way i see it, the only way you can self-insert is if you feel that you share some similarities with the protag.

>>11670962

>Why are protagonists always shit?

Just my little understanding in the grand scheme - short repeating the saying about it caters to the buyers (doesn't deter them enough stop buying), I think it's just that much harder for the writers to do so. It's difficult as it is to get well-written heroines which is the main selling point, not to mention we can only see a well-written MC with substantial text devoted to his monologue (+ action feedback). Some will likely find it boring reading self-improvement sort of dialogue.

In the opposite example, you have flipping awesome MC like in Nitro+ Hello, World, where it's obvious where the effort is focus, leaving heroines nothing more than a tag label.

>>11671000

>not to mention we can only see a well-written MC with substantial text devoted to his monologue (+ action feedback)

That's part of my problem though, even in the case of bland protagonists, i find that there's a very large quantity of time spent on pointless thoughts like "today was really fun" that get repeated way too much.

I know that these games cater to "betas" so to speak, but for me it's difficult to understand what the heroines love about the protag, making the relationships feel forced, thin, and baseless.

>>11671017
>i find that there's a very large quantity of time spent on pointless thoughts like "today was really fun" that get repeated way too much.
This can get really annoying. I find too much of a VN (especially in simple moege and charage) is based on the protagonist's thoughts and narrative, when most of it should be about the heroines. If they're going to write a shitty MC anyway, I don't really care what he thinks. I just want more interactions with the girls.

Since we're talking about protagonists, is there a good VN with a sadist protagonist/masochist heroine route? I want to punish some bitches.

>>11671017

>That's part of my problem though, even in the case of bland protagonists, i find that there's a very large quantity of time spent on pointless thoughts like "today was really fun" that get repeated way too much.

This may be down to pay structure, aka word padding. I believe the writers are pay per word, so the industry has developed sort of accceptance on relative level of tolerance of stock lines, if you will. I think in this area, normal (text) novels are far superior since their (pay) motivation isn't really aligned with word count.

>>11671031

I agree entirely. I tend to skip most of the protag's thoughts for that reason if he's not interesting.

>>11671035

Seconded. There's euphoria, but it's kind of silly and over the top. And the plot is quite secondary.

>>11671035
Ryouki has a nice collection of bitches who deserve everything they get.

>>11671035
No. There are plenty of masochistic heroines, but every protag has to be a nice guy faggot.

>>11671067

So you mean they beg him to hurt them but the protag won't do it?

That sounds even better.

>>11671035
In recent memory, お嬢様はご機嫌ナナメ has 雪小路 詩綾 being extremely masochistic with the protag treating her as a dog or as an object. he is still rather nice to her outside of the sex scenes thou so i don't know if it will fulfill what you're after

>>11671067
Seriously? There's tons of games with completely sadistic protags.

>>11671017
You can't spell "sympathetic" without "pathetic".

It's all about getting the readers to identify with the protag. A character with too well-defined a personality would shatter the illusion of self-insertion.

>>11671093

>It's all about getting the readers to identify with the protag. A character with too well-defined a personality would shatter the illusion of self-insertion.

See this is what i don't understand. It's not that the personality is not defined, it's that it is practically nonexistent. Perhaps the industry assumes the majority of readers to be so plain that they can identify with such a protag.

Plainness is not a "mold" that you can fill with whatever traits you wish the character had, it's a trait in itself that can't be removed.

>>11671070

Is that basically a nukige?

>>11671103
>Is that basically a nukige?
Not even close.

>>11671103
If you have such a strong and forceful personality that you can't play games with boring MCs, then don't. The rest of us boring people will continue to enjoy them.

The really good games all have interesting protagonists.

>>11671093
>A character with too well-defined a personality would shatter the illusion of self-insertion.
I'm probably alone on this one, but escapism-wise I'd rather have a badass or at least proactive protagonist to self-insert to. I don't need a boring MC to remind myself of how boring I actually am.

>>11671103
Not a nukiage, and it's story is somewhat ok but it the story can completely disappear depending on which character route you take, 友禅寺 鶴美 was brilliant

>>11671106

The problem is you can have a heroine that you really love and want to keep playing to interact with her. Then it's just kind of exasperating when the protag doesn't "deserve" her.

>>11671112

Cool thanks, i'll add it to my already enormous backlog.

>>11671103
Plain characters are easy to identify with because they don't go out of their way to do or say things that place emphasis on the fact that they have a well-established personality that is different from the reader's.

>>11671103
>Perhaps the industry assumes the majority of readers to be so plain that they can identify with such a protag.
Aren't they always stereotyped as losers with no qualities?

>>11671108
I think I follow that too. My idea of self-insertion isn't to become a guy that's just like me so that I may identify with him, it's to become the guy that's on the screen, whether he's a complete badass, a regular guy or the biggest loser to ever grace a work of fiction.

>>11671121

Is that just your opinion or is it some psychologically demonstrated and recognized evidence? I just don't see it personally, though i understand the theory behind it.

>>11671118
>The problem is you can have a heroine that you really love and want to keep playing to interact with her. Then it's just kind of exasperating when the protag doesn't "deserve" her.
In other words, you're just jelly of a fictional character?

>>11671125
More like he finds the heroine to be someone special, so it's only appropriate that he would want a suitable partner for her.
I'm sure nobody wants the girl they like to end up with a brain-dead retard.

>>11671125

Not at all, i feel bad for the girl, or that her emotions are forced.

Of course, in a sense i'm perpetually jelly that they can get some sweet 2D poon but that is not relevant to the MC's personality, just real life being shit.

>>11671136
> I'm sure nobody wants the girl they like to end up with a brain-dead retard.

Yeah, that’s totally why I don’t have a girlfriend.

>>11671118
>Then it's just kind of exasperating when the protag doesn't "deserve" her.
No I think that's your personal bizarre problem.
I usually don't give a shit about most protags and if I do I'm probably playing a scenario-ge where it makes sense to analyze the protagonist's character. But in everything else? Wow he's a hetare/donkan/normal dude whatever I'm here for onee-san's ass. You people are goddamn weird.

>>11671142
It's alright. If eroge has taught me anything, as long as you're nice the bitches will be all over you.

>>11671148
He doesn't feel bad for MC, he feels bad for onee-san, because he likes to imagine that onee-san is a real person who deserves better.

>>11671070
That sounds great, I don't mind keeping the sadism in the bed.

>>11671155
Outside of bed the sadism is played for laughs

>>11671153
Bitches don’t know about muh 優しい

>>11671162
Not emotionally attached enough in the self-insert sense that you don’t play routes for 10 other heroines in the same month.

>>11671148
You mean you don't get emotionally attached to the characters? You're quite the anomaly.

>>11671154
I'm not even the guy you're replying to, and I think that's fucking weird. Only creeps who place women on pedestals would think things like that.

Let oneesan fall in love with whoever she damn well pleases.

>>11671164
>Only creeps who place women on pedestals would think things like that.
Guilty as charged.

>>11671161
Well damn that heroine looks like she was made for me, downloading it immediately, thanks.

>>11671162
I'm saying that in most cases the protagonist is a non-factor in my enjoyment of a game, I'm interested in the heroines. And getting emotionaly attached to like, 15 heroines per month sure would be draining so no, that's thankfully not happening.

>>11671165

For me, that only happens for outstanding heroines. And it's not necessarily out of a monogamous impulse towards the girl.

It can be that doing other heroines who are clearly not as good will just downplay the quality of the game as a whole. I think a large portion of what makes a route enjoyable is how you personally feel towards the heroine in question. Thus, i try to finish on what i think will be the best route and leave it at that to keep a better memory of the game.

>>11668022
Wait... is that Miko?

>>11671186
I'll also add that 詩綾 (the M heroine) is the one that encourages the protags sadism in her route.

>>11671217
She sounds perfect, I need to finish what I'm reading fast to start this one quickly.

>>11671215
No?

>>11671265
Ah, true. Miko's pigtails are on the front.

>>11671274
Nanase looks most similar to Mizuho out of anyone in the entire Kakyuusei cast I'd say.

Sup, /jp/. I'm playing Sengoku Rance FFA for the most pathetic house. Is it possible to capture Takeda generals from intact house or I should beat em first and then wait for other houses to recruit them?

>>11671289
not positive, but i think all the houses work the same way in FFA, where it's impossible to capture unique officers unless they were recruited by another house.

>>11671294
Has anyone seen Rance recruited by other house?

So how long is Ikinari anata ni koishiteiru?
Is it good?

>>11671360
I dropped it. Take that as you will.

>>11671360
>>11671376
Same for me.

Oh come on, someone upload the new Clockup game already, need some dark elf fucking.

With older VNs that require a bit of fiddling to get the BGM working, would it be better to just burn the .iso to a DVD?

>>11671416
Or a CD depending on what it was originally released on.
I find that doing that is generally the simplest way of getting them to work properly.

そして煌めく乙女と秘密＾５ is really disappointing so far. Not only is it boring and the heroines lacking, but everyone seems to know that the MC is already a dude. The humor is shit too.

I'm not sure what happened considering it has the writers that did OwaSekai and Futagoza no Paradox.

>>11668424
I may be in the minorit but UshiMirai was a really promising start and I think it's a shame they went on hiatus.

>>11670125
There is nothing in that page, I cant seem to download anything. Oh god and now that Im trying to install violated heroine I cant because Applocate doesnt want to download because something about my windows installing package.

Fuck this new laptop man, fuck it to death

Thanks, but my laptop is trying to resist WAY TOO MUCH

>>11671805
After some trying there and there, I've finally installed, it, thanks anon!

>still no dice

...I will see my waifu in pictures or videos ;_;

>>11668274
sorry, but ASMR doesn't happen in VNs, or games. or fiction. it only happens to you in real life, that's why so many asmr videos are roleplaying.

>>11667948
are there any 3ds VNs coming out soon?

>>11671895
Probably, but you'd be better off getting a Vita or PSP for that sort of thing.

>>11671895
Zero Escape 3

>>11671915
reading vns on vita or psp sound like a pain

>>11671921
And it's somehow less so on a screen with a resolution made for ants?

Is there a way to search for multiple tags on EGS? I'm probably retarded and not just seeing it.

>>11671450
You know, I played OwaSeka and, as I remember it, the SoL parts were decent enough that they could have skipped the denpa aspect entirely and it still would have been an okay game. So how they managed to fuck up KiraOto so badly is a bit of a mystery.

Also on the subject of kusoge, it sounds like 赤さんと吸血鬼 was quite the disaster.

>>11672250
>Also on the subject of kusoge, it sounds like 赤さんと吸血鬼 was quite the disaster.

Elaborate if possible please

>>11672250
I heard that it was just supposed to be some short random game they put out quickly while working on a larger project, but I'm not sure how true that is.

>>11672256
I was just reading the reviews on EGS. Apparently the story is a complete mess and makes no sense.

>>11672256
Supposedly, from the trial at least, it starts out in first person and then starts alternating between first and third person before eventually just being third person the rest of the time.

>>11672084
It's been a while since I've used any SQL. Maybe try
select gamename from gamelist join povgroups on gamelist.id = povgroups.game join povlist on povgroups.pov = povlist.id where CONDITION group by gamename

Very barebones query. Replace CONDITION with system_title = 'tagname'. Should also work with AND and OR operators.

I love it when MC and his lover are having telephone play in the living room and the rest of the heroines walk in on them completely naked with an big erection in the lover's mouth. The awkwardness.

Venus Blood Gaia is good, it's the perfect game if you enjoy sperging about creating the perfect party while squinting at the small ass text

>>11672540
I never tried the Venus Blood series. Is it good? I'm holding back because I'm not a big fan of tentacles and monsters and stuff.

>>11669643

I just installed the "expansion pack" and it seems to have broken my ITH setup.

I can't find a code for 2.0 anywhere and the previous one doesn't work for me. Guess i'm going to be stuck playing something else for now.

>>11672545
abyss and gaia are dungeon defense games. Frontier is more similar to sangoku hime/rance. The appeal besides the CG is that they have a far amount of variety when party building so there's a lot to try out.

I just finished Cross†Channel and thought it was amazing. I wish I could read moon so I could read it in the original language, so much was lost I bet.
I still haven't read Tower of Friends, but I'm gonna finish that tomorrow.
Also on another note does anyone have sheet music for Criss Cross? I'd love to learn that song but I can only transcribe the first few notes with my current skill.

>>11672737
what's so good about cross channel? I heard a lot of positive opinions but I never read it cause I dislike lewd stuff and i heard there is ecchi all the time due to perverted MC

Just finished a bunch of old games on my backlog and I'm wondering what should I play next...

Any games from November's batch release that are turning out to be really good? So far HHG and Slavenil seems interesting, but I might save them for a marathon session during Christmas.

Pic related by the way. I'm surprised that I'd actually enjoy a Navel game in this day and age. Also spoilers.

>>11672758
11/10 writing unless you're reading one of the "translations"

>>11672758
The characters man. Taichi is one of the best written characters I've seen. I can't even go into detail because of spoilers. Even reading the translation I could tell the writing was great, which is why once I'm feeling comfortable enough with my moon I'll reread cross channel before any other VN.
The MC is perverted, but there's only a small handful of sex scenes which you can honestly patch out, but tons of sex jokes and stuff.

>bras or panties with rubber threads in a medieval setting
If they didn't have elastic I could suspend my disbelief!

>>11672774
Why don't you say
>all of them are still virgin

>>11672545
>I'm not a big fan of tentacles and

Probably not then. They are fun enough but don't really come close to Sengoku Rance for example.
If you decide to play I'd start with the latest ones since they are mostly the same two patterns only better.

>>11672774
Shut the fuck up. A mediavalist would complain about the fabrics, the thighs, the bed, the floor and the hair.

Or how she looks clean when everyone was a fucking unwashed barbarian thanks to the rampant wars.

>>11672765
>Slavenil
I wouldn't really call it "good", it's a nukige and I'm getting bored with it to be honest, but I've gotten a couple of decent faps out of it.

I'm still waiting on Electro Arms and Izayoi no Fortuna from this month. The latter has an 85 on EGS so far, only three votes though. No votes for Electro Arms yet.

>>11672785
>this month
By which I mean last month, obviously.

>>11672782
>>11672779
It's just a fixation of mine. I can create excuses for everything except for how they would put rubber inside a fabric like that.

I don't think I have seen /jp/ discussing this game; it had good score on EGS, too. The historic nature of the game gives me the feeling that the language may be hard, though.

>>11672830
Aside from the large number of characters, which isn't that hard to really keep track of since they have a little thing that lists them and gives information as you meet them, I don't really remember it being that difficult.

>>11672830
As with most games, it was discussed during release and then everyone moved on.

>>11672858
>You will never discuss YU-NO during its release with /jp/
くすん

What are some VNs with nice songs? I need to add some songs to the store ipod, and I'm out of anime ost ideas.

So far, I've got some songs from Muramasa, Muvluv (ed ver), baldr sky, Higurashi, Asairo, dracu-riot and little busters.

>>11672963
I guess I should add they can't be too obviously キャラソン with cutsie voices or 熱い like Jam Project.

>>11672963
Umineko has good music, IMO. Also most OSTs composed by Shade.

The web page just updated today. It's been 9 years since it was first announced, will it finally be released?

http://www.makura-soft.com/sakura/

>>11672980
Let's only hope so. I want to fuck Kei not that he's going to get a homo route, let alone be in the game.

>>11672963
White Album 2 for music for obvious reasons, but some people say it's soul breaking when you hear the music again after reading through the story.

>>11672968
Ah, I'd forgotten about Umineko.
I'll check out the shade stuff too.
>>11673021
I forgot to write that I have a few WA2 stuff too, but just stuff seen in the anime thus far. I'm afraid to go listen to too much stuff since I haven't played the game yet. I've been meaning to start WA2 for a few weeks now.

>>11672312
Thanks.

So which Yuzusoft novel is better, Islenauts or Tenshin Ranman? I'm planning on reading all of them and I'd rather start with the worse ones.

>>11673110
I haven't read either, but I actually like some of the other things some of the writers for Islenauts did, so I'd probably go with that.

>>11673110
I prefered Islenauts myself. If only for the fact that the protag is for once not a student, it was kind of refreshing in a moege. The setting itself was fun too and I felt that the routes were fleshed out better as well. Also god damnit Misaki is cute. That わふ makes me melt.

>>11673116
>>11673128
I'll probably start with Tenshin Ranman, then Islenauts and finish with Dracu-Riot in that case. Are the novels before the first any good?

>>11673133
If you want to start with the worse ones, start with Dracu-riot. Has the same problems as islenauts anyway.

>>11673138
Really? The setting seems really interesting, but I guess I shouldn't trust ratings so much.

>>11668509
>Dropped Yosuga No Sora.

Obviously has terrible taste in VN'S and should go kill himself.

>>11673252
I thought the only worth thing in YnS was Sora's Route? Did EGS lie to me?

>>11673268
Sora is the only thing worth playing that game and for her alone it's worth it. Else it's pretty mediocre.

>>11673268
I personally thought all of them were pretty bad, but I personally liked Motoka's because 遠野そよぎ.

>>11673110

Islenauts, imo.

>>11673128
>Also god damnit Misaki is cute. That わふ makes me melt.

Agreed, A+++.

On a side note, why is the little sister in 妹のおかげでモテすぎてヤバい feels a classy act? She even does the self-sacrifice thing and trains him up for all the girls, and damn unlocking her route.

Finished the Rimu route of Dear Drops. She's adorable, no regrets there. I started Yayoi's now. Decided on saving Riho for last.

>>11673133
ExE is fairly good I'd say. Setting is bit overly generic chuuni though, but then again it had my favorite VA in an 11/10 character design for me so take that as you will.

Natsuzora Kanata was a bit too serious seeming I guess, compared to later Yuzusoft titles so I've sort of put it on hiatus.
Haven't read Bra-Ban but I've heard fairly decent things about it.

>>11672774
>>11672795
It’s not medieval. It’s a fantasy world inspired by renaissance Europe.

>>11667948

I've been playing Qualiaffordance, by SHELF. For those not in the know, the game's fully animated - Like School Days, but more consistently and without the ugly cel-shaded fill-ins.

I'd say: At first, I thought it was excellent. I played through Miki's route, and thought it was a sweet - If a little shallow - love story that was actually rather cute.

Then the game completely loses it's shit at the end.

She turns out to be the chosen priestess of a cult, a la Mirai Nikki, and you have to help her escape. It ends in a massive shootout, and with the protagonist going into hiding for ten months. All this in what was previously a simple love story.

>>11673563
That sounds amazing.

I'm just done with Elina route in Dracu Riot and I really liked it. She is just such a fun character and her route is pretty good. The Miu route I first went through was just kind of ok.
Azusa route is next, I heard her she is also very lewd, though probably no one is as lewd as Elina.

>>11673594

Apparently, every heroine has a 'dark side', which means that each story becomes equally insane in the second half. I had no idea what the fuck was going one, by that point.

>>11671031

Honestly, I much, much prefer cool protagonists - Or at least competent ones. Shirou from F/SN is kind of a moron, but Shiki was a pretty decent character. The majority of Nitro+'s protagonists tend to be extremely cool, but I especially liked the Kamen Rider PC of Vampihazard. (You could even name him!)

To be frank, a lot of eroge protagonists are worse-off than I am. Some are frankly pathetic. Innocent Grey has cool MCs, but they tend to be kind of destined for heartbreak.

Ayakashi by Crossnet had an excellent protagonist, but that VN was basically shonen fighting: the visual novel. Still great, though.

>>11671093

I've always felt that a lame character shatters the illusion. If VNs are meant to be escapism, I'd rather be a cool guy than a useless beta, you know?

It's sort of like SAO's protagonist: Overpowered he might be, but it's easy to understand why the girls like him. Compare that with Accel World's protagonist, who always seems to be insulting the reader's intelligence - Given that he's a useless fat fuck who's treated like a harem lead.

It's insulting, to be frank. I'd rather aspire to be like Kirito than to be Haru. When I think of the kind of protagonist I'd want to be, I don't think 'I want girls to love me for who I am'. I think 'I want to be the coolest guy ever.'

>>11673609
>but Shiki was a pretty decent character
Shiki was barely a character, either he was incredibly bland or insane, there was no middle point in between and had no real character development unless you count maximizing his powers as that.

>>11673620
This is why I like Shchara games, all their protags are the cool competent kind. I especially like the post-lvl99-their-story-is-over kind, such as the protag of Wizard Climber or Brown Doori Sanbanme.

>>11673609
Ayakashi was great, it felt like an anime.
It's a shame apricot no longer make eroge with those high production values.

http://www.getchu.com/granking/201309.html
Quite old but... September, I guess?

http://www.getchu.com/pc/salesranking201311.html
Looks like lots of titles sold more copies than expected. Even those from Digital Cute and ALcot ハニカム.

(the picture is just a delicious art from ATK)

>>11673774
I won't comment on anything else, but 夢か現かマトリョーシカ being there just seems wrong. It was a special kind of bad.

>>11673774
>akatsuki-san 6th
I'm still waiting to read something positive about it.

I really like the spritework in this game, Doesn't do anything overblown or super cool, but the little changes they add are cool, like spoons, tasers or a new eyepatch in this case.

>>11673816
Her head is way too big.

>>11673817
It's to contain all the insanity.

>>11673695
Yeah...he wasn't really a character. I feel he is more an avatar of the reader.

Does anyone have VN suggestions for the 3DS?

>>11673609
I wouldn't say Yuu is a excellent one, but he certainly is great on Ayakashi H's slapstick comedy.

I’m really close to dropping zerokiro.

>>11673881
Elaborate.

>>11673906
I’m not laughing at the comedy, and the heroines aren’t really appealing to me. The exception is Nokia but her route is apparently bad. Maybe I’ll warm up to Sakuya more.

>>11673878
vlr, ace attorney

>>11673925
thanks! VLR looks pretty cool

>>11673915
the comedy was pretty good at 0 kilometer,i guess you are a little picky about comedy.

>>11673935
It's great if you haven't played Ever17. Otherwise, you may find the experience too similar.

>>11673944
It'll be my first VN actually

>>11673948
it's the sequel to 999, you should probably play that first.

>>11673950
Oh alright, thanks!

>>11673953
Also, learn how to use vndb.com. It will help you a lot in finding, keeping track of, and discussing visual novels.

>>11673990
ふふふ>おほほ

>>11673774
Now that I've taken another look at it, the latter half of 2013 has been quite underwhelming. Some of the titles listed in there aren't even that good. I don't think I can name any thing that stood out between August and November.

Did the artist for Wanko to Kurasou work on any similar titles? Aside from shitty nukige, he doesn't seem to be active, unless he's under a different name. It's a shame because his character designs are some of the cutest I've seen.

Poor Meimi. She can't even get the guy she likes and then this happens.

Unexpectedly, this VN is actually kinda funny. The parts with Luverial and Misty Mei/Asumo in particular.

>>11674071
yeah latter half of 2013 is pretty underwhelming, specially the fall months are really suck even for a moege lover for me. well i didnt played anything from november yet though, there might be some unexpected fun moege or something.

>>11672963
Recently I got the urge to trip the stuff by NanosizeMir after remembering how great they were at Burunyanman's OST by firing up a copy of Otome Switch, and they're as great as always.

How naive people were

>>11674352
Yeah jp has gone so far to just hate every translated novel. Not their special little club any more :(

>>11674352
At least they got better taste over time.

>>11674352
So how is alternative chronicles? I was never too interested in the series, so i didn't look much into it.

I always have to chuckle at those people who complain about /jp/ don't liking certain popular and translated games when it's really just single people. I dunno why this always happens. Because this board is anonym?

I'm also pretty sure no one likes every popular game.

>>11674372
Varies.
Alt. Chronicles 01 is pretty fucking shit as the only halfway decent thing on it is Chicken Divers. TDA00 is utter garbage. Rain Dancers is like the prologue for a story that's never been written, officially at least. Fuck if I know if Wei Luxin has published a follow up in those phone books he put out at Comiket.

Alt. Chronicles 02 was quite a bit better. TDA01 was actually fairly good. Adoration was a pretty good age-style comedy based on the Eurofront cast.

Alt. Chronicles 03 middling, I guess. TDA02 was decent but not quite as strong as TDA01. I couldn't stand Resurrection personally but this was also around the time I began to really dislike Miyata Sou's art.

Still haven't really read Alt. Chronicles 04 despite buying it. Haiburu was 10/10 best thing age has made since before the TE dark time. War Ensemble caused some autist on that /m/ run wiki to sperg out about it so I guess it could be pretty good? TDA03 apparently delves a bunch more into Takeru and Ikaruga and what not. Last Divers is a sort of sequel of Chicken Divers but set in TDA.

>>11674352
I still don't get why people like muvluv, to me it was surprisingly disengaging and even annoying at many points (mc's blatant stupidity easily comes to mind). Setting and reveal was good enough but plot and characters failed it more often than not. I just didn't bother to be vocal except maybe for once of twice.

>>11674400
Do I need to read the stuff in the first to understand the rest? Because if I don't I'll just skip it. Also, thanks for the answer.

>>11674406
I still haven't fully read TDA00 and I've understood it fine through TDA02.
This might be different as of TDA03 though as apparently there's now a hive where TDA00 took place and wacky BETA jars and shit with the cast of 00 and stuff.
But again, I haven't actually read TDA03 yet so take that as you will.

>>11674414
I see. I guess when I get bored of reading vapid moege I'll read them then, thanks.

>>11674404

I think it's because of the massive production values. MLA is easily the best presented VN ever.

On the downside you have bland characters (and the worst protag I've ever seen), recycled writing and massive pacing issues.

Still, if you can overlook those shortcomings, it's a fun ride and sometimes even touching (except for SUUMIKAAAA, that shit was unintentionally comical).

Fellows from /jp/ there is some time since I finished my last vn and now I'm looking for something else to read. I plan to read from this month releases only two or three titles, did you already finished some of them? What's your opinion? I'm currently at the beginning of the new novel from esemble, but to be frank, it's quite boring so far and I'm thinking of reading another, any advices?

>>11673990
That's some Horizon-tier drills, I wouldn't mind seeing these more often.

Oh man this is great, I really like her character. Does it get bad from now on?

I have no idea how this affection system in Otome Switch works. After one playthrough I got like, 1/5 of the H-scenes for both heroines. This is highly demotivating.

>>11675409
There's some light drama, but that's really it.

>>11675451
Does increasing the vibration affect the story's progress like they advertise?

>>11675678
It's just an On/Off switch you can activate in certain scenes.

Is it just me or is the story in 妹のおかげでモテすぎてヤバい。 really lacking?

>>11676030
It's a moege. What were you expecting?

>>11676035
enough of a story to keep me Mildly interested? other than that no expectations whatsoever

>>11676052
Most moege have almost no story at all. The heroines being cute is what's supposed to keep you interested. Admittedly, a lot of them do a rather poor job at that.

>>11676052
Well aren't we privileged.

Is it just me or is there way too much sex in SEXティーチャー剛史?

>>11676077
Yes i know this, it just felt like alot worse than moege normally is. The story itself was practically non-existent most moeges at least try to pretend there is something going on

>>11676084
Well aren't we being smug today.

>>11676097
>Yes i know this, it just felt like alot worse than moege normally is.
I don't see how. Better read some Hooksoft, you've got a knowledge gap to fill when it comes to plotlessness.

>>11676096
>Is it just me or is there way too much sex in SEXティーチャー剛史?
No way, really? Ya don't say.

I could listen to her Gyaaaaaa!!s and Uwaaaaa!!!s all day long.

I appreciate the honesty of Hooksoft's games. They're just "All these cute girls want your dick! Pick your favorite and enjoy hand-holding, blushing, and other lewd activities with her!"

>>11676168
That scene was great.
Just finished Rakuen, not sure if I should go back and read the other after stories (only read Makina's).
Would also feel weird reading them knowing that Kazuki is left as the Thanatos system.

After messing around in ollydbg i found a working code for Tsuki ni Yorisou 2.0 (appended). Felt i'd share with any other tools-only-peasants that may need it.

Electro tits finally out

I'm playing Walkure because of the anime. It feels better written compared to their previous title Princess Lovers.

Mio is not bad, her personality goes well with Shimizu Ai's voice. However, Bertille being voiced by Eruru makes her the best girl no doubt.

I'm sad at the lack of ex-girlfriend route, she's even available.

>>11677461
That glare is awesome.

>>11677485
Reminds me of Reika's bitch face.

>>11677493 >>11677485

Agree for both - will she will be scheming mastermind?

It's been a long time since an antagonist has made me so angry as I am right now at Tachibana Reika. Fucking bitch. Haruka's route where she got shot in the head was so satisfying.

Can you guys please stop coming and shitposting in /vg/? We don't come over here to shitpost, you guys should have the class to do the same.

>>11677979
Nobody here gives a shit about /vg/. If anything, you guys are shitposting yourselves into the ground.

>>11677979
I don't understand why anyone here would even want to visit vg.

>>11677979
Who in their right mind in this thread would want to go there anyways? I know there are a lot of weird people in the world, but that's a stretch even for /jp/. You might be thinking of the secondary wch 2hu fk crowd or the EOPs which wouldn't even see your post anyways because many of them don't frequent this thread.

>>11677989
I went there a few times and it was awful. Epic meme spams, best girl wars, and daily doses everywhere with some actual discussion sprinkled in between.
These threads might be slower, but they are definitely better quality-wise.

>>11677979
>We don't come over here to shitpost, you guys should have the class to do the same.

But you just did that?

>>11678003
I don't want your excuses. Just apologize and promise not to do it again.

/vg/ is already nothing BUT shitposting

>>11678008
And we don't want your shitposting here go back to /vg/ , if we wanted to talk about VN's we wouldn't do it with people who can't even understand the original language of the VN itself

>>11678008
Those "shitposting" are essentially one guy who blogs his playing progress and a bunch of people telling him to stop, which no one does that here. Tell the janitor or mod to take care of that guy.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

>>11677461
So the new heroine is basically the antagonist? Sure why not.

>>11678014
So jelly....

Stop responding to blatant trolls.

Also, people in this thread need to stop spoonfeeding people. On top of that, when you post your impressions on VNs, explain them with actual details so that others can try to relate to your perspective; avoid trying to make a dumb meme out of some scene you came across when you're only 15 minutes into your first playthrough.

>>11678152
There hasn't been either of those instances in this thread though.

>>11678152
Okay, mom.

Seven for Nanaya!

GGN and Narcissu greenlit. Aww yeah let the takeover of steam begin.

Just finished playing Gaia. This probably has the best characters of the entire Venus Blood series. Story-wise it doesn't feel like it deviates too much from the usual fare though.

I feel like playing something a bit light hearted before reading Electro Arms so anyone have recommendations in that area among this months releases? Currently considering Ensembles new game.

>>11678760
Moteyaba was pretty good.

>>11678760
Oh yeah I should play it now that it was patched.
I know better than to play an unpatched Venus Blood game.
Also I didn't even notice Electro Arms was available, I'm behind these days

Natsuki route of Futagoza done, this was seriously a case of fool me twice, shame on me, so fucking similar to Ili's end in owaseka, now a grave for Tesla.
Expecting good things for Ao's route because I want to know what comes from these two in the end.

>>11678630
Sorry but what is GGN?

>>11679277
It's the pinnacle of Japanese games!

>>11679291
Isn't that one of the VNs with the easiest japanese?

>>11679311
It comes with a built in machine translation, so yeah probably.

>>11677461
This glare makes my dick tingly. More heroines need to have this kind of facial expression rather than just the usual grinning like they're a Downs kid at Disney World.

>>11679311
It certainly isn't difficult Japanese. You can have Japanese and English text on the screen at the same time, so in a way, I would say it's the easiest Japanese VN to read for an English speaker that's still learning Japanese.

>>11679326

They should always make Japanese text optional. I'd even buy their games in that case. Well, assuming I have't already read them and/or they aren't bargain bin nukige, Knowing MG I'm pretty sure asking for both is a bit too much.

>>11678760
I'm bumbling through this right now. For some reason, they went back to the slow levelling speed of Abyss but left the enhanced versions of all the Activity skills from Frontier, so stat-boosted squads are now utterly OP even at level one.

They also nerfed the twin dragon swords, despite being completely useless in the first place....there's a few odd changes like that.

But hey, the cast are great and it's better written than Frontier was by a long shot.

Yeah the cast of Gaia, specifically Miria and Titi are really great. Protip: Don't pick hard for your second playthrough because it is just way too easy on new game+. Oh well, guess I'm stocking and getting ready for berserker mode in my next runthrough then.

Reach page 7 should be enough for making a new thread, y/n? Probably, no one will want to post after that.

>>11679967
In case you guys didn't saw 2DFG put on nyaa yesterday Electro Arms
