Just started Tenshihane, it's my first VN by this author. I really like the... atmosphere, I guess you'd say, I don't really know how to describe it. The religious/Christian themes might be helping.

What if I just use them to look up words I don't know? I understand machine translations, but for beginners, ATLAS is pretty good to look up kanji that you've never seen. It also helps you to increase your vocab.

Sorry, I meant like. It was a typo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10409277
To me I think it depends on just how much you need to use it, if you're looking up nearly every kanji you run into then yeah you probably might want to just grind common kanji for awhile for your own sake (pausing on every sentence can get pretty boring I imagine), but I don't really think it's a problem if you're reading something considered "hard" because you probably only need to look up a handful of kanji, and ITH is just plain useful for that. I mean would using an old fashioned printed dictionary be considered a crutch? Luckily I learned Japanese quite a bit before I even started reading VNs and memorized a lot of kanji then so I don't run into new kanji very often.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10409307
I see your point now. It's really much more productive just grinding those core decks. Sorry for bothering.

That's what I do, but now any time a semi-popular VN pops up I can't understand or participate in the conversation at all. I have most of the highly-praised VNs already downloaded and sitting on my harddrive yet I keep downloading and playing older eroge that I've never even read reviews of. This year I decide I would try to read WA2 since it's mentioned very often but I haven't started it yet. Maybe tomorrow.

>>10409508
I've only gone through Midori's route, but if that's any indication, some of the drama is really bad and drags out for too long. I liked the happy raburabu sections, though. I'm not sure how to put it, but they felt a bit more "realistic" than your average game, since the chemistry between Midori and the protagonist really gave off the feeling of innocence and inexperience.

>>10409515
The vocal tracks are pretty good, but the rest of the soundtrack is mostly average. There's also one particular track that annoyed me to end ("Stray Maze") that has a bell or a piano or whatever bouncing between left and right.

Let's make up some numbers. Let's say you know 6,000 words. You're going to run into thousands more that you do not know over time, that you'll have to add one by one. Why would you do this?

You think you're ever going to learn real japanese if you slack and look everything up in a dictionary? The only approved method of learning a new word is to call up a native japanese, describe the kanji to them over the phone, and let them tell you the pronunciation and what it means. If you do anything less, you'll never be fluent.

Holy barbeque, Maruto took my heart, shredded it and then slowly sew it back piece by piece so it's neat again, with WA2. I don't think I read anything like this in other romance VNs. I read damekoi/parfait but it doesn't really compare well with those two.

I am a little sad I won't get something of similar calibre to read for quite some years. May be I will use a well-known tested technique to sink my memory of it to re-read it some months later.

They've been consistently good so far, with the Baldr series. Sky had the best action gameplay I've ever seen in the medium. The changes, once you disable the camera, based on the video will probably mostly be related to vertical orientation. I can't imagine them making manual aiming a requirement for combos, but if you think about it, as long as you can start aim from a 90 degree offset from front center, should be usable.

I have zero interest in the story myself, nothing about the game looks appealing, but I'll probably play it for the gameplay anyways.

By the way, where does this one fall in the Sky timeline?

Finished Rakuen. That was a nice game, I really liked it. The content was fresh and the characters were both genuine and convincing, and the dialogue was straightforward and direct. I don't think it compares well to other charage, because, at least I haven't played/heard of/seen any game like this. Only one character adheres to a common archetype, the other characters are all really original without relying much, if at all, on existing conventions too. It's also one of the most laid back games I've played, I picked this up originally because it was recommended here for being iyashi-kei, and it is. That being said, I can see how this one would be totally hit or miss with not much in between, the content and characters aren't as safe and general as say games like Curio and Parfait. Really charming, I'd recommend anyone with free time to play it. Personally, due to some organizational issues with route structures (common in older games, some random flags, route content being mixed in the normal route leading to some redundancy), and the game is too damn short, I'd give it a solid 8.

Imo: Mika > Karen = Aki >>>> Sae >> Anko. Anko's route is much more like a fall back normal end than a full featured route. The character is fine however. I'd recommend playing the routes in reverse order.

Also for the people having scruples about the NTR I wouldn't be worried about it. It's avoidable, it's not depicted, however you have to trigger it for that character's 3rd H-Scene. They handle it well, and the heroine properly blows him off, but it still did piss me off a bit, but the route itself isn't terrible, and it's only that one character, who broke under stress miserably. If you don't care about that 3rd H-Scene, which again isn't NTR, then the ending is the exact same. If you're really cautious and easily offended, you don't miss much by skipping that route. For reference, it's Sae

I've started Fate/Stay Night, the Realta Nua version (yes finally) and Togainu no Chi.

The latter's story is very interesting and I'm totally hooked, but I'm not seeing why F/SN is good yet. The prologue was good but the high school stuff with the other guy is boring (for now).

Glancing over Premium Play, it looks pretty good. One downside though is all the outfits are presets so you can't mix and match.

F/SN is really long. The first and second routes have their moments, and all of them have pretty strong ending segments. The main reason to play it is for those moments, particularly the better half of Heaven's Feel, at which point every character's thematic legacy is fulfilled. The whole game is worth playing even if the slice of life (which takes up much more than it should) is stagnant, just look forward to later parts, since those parts tier pretty decently with even most highly regarded fantasy action eroge. You shouldn't be disappointed, however I say that as "in the end", you won't be wondering then.

I'm currently playing it.

It's a FD or practically a sequel that continues off the original in terms of story.

The combat system is much more refined than the original, though it was a bit annoying at the start, it gradually got better as you got the hang of the system. It pretty much redoes the entire system, taking some elements from baldr sky (equippable skills). The engagement board and whatnot are all scrapped and there's no longer a stupid time limit for every day so you can advance the story at your own pace.

In general it's much more refined and the difficulty has definitely went up when comparing. I don't understand why there's a level requirement to raise the difficulty though.

Can't say much, I'm only on chapter 2 of Kanae story.

But I'm pretty damn sure Material Brave was designed to be a two part story unless they had to cut it into two parts because of some circumstances. The entire story makes much more sense when you connect the two together, especially how the original had no real heroine routes to speak of. The original was basically the "common route" in that sense.

That said, I don't know how different the after stories are. If they're almost the same then... I withdraw what I said, the entire game is just one big Ena route.

Haruki was a spineless piece of shit (in most routes). Setsuna was a manupulative liar. Kazusa was infantile and selfish. You're right, but White Album's main characters were pretty fucked, just saying.

Also >>10417228
You should check out the supplemental ending to Kazusa normal in the PS3 version. A lot of it is from her perspective, and covers the events between when Kasuza left and a year later when the epilogue took place. They really cover Setsuna's mentality, thoughts, position, and emotions about everything really well. I think you'll find that while the process is warped, Setsuna genuinely does love Haruki.

[Anonymous No.]

Unfortunately, I don't have a PS3 so I guess I'll have to wait until they backport it. Or maybe I'll try finding it on YouTube.

Now that I've thought about it, I think that I actually like Setsuna in that she's the only character that I don't understand. Most eroge heroines are stereotypes that act in ways that you fully expect them to act but not her. She's kind of schizophrenic and I could never really grasp her real MO.

Oh, and extra content gets released every time you get a game ending, so you could just read the true ending of the heroine you liked and then read her extra content.

Finished Kodatchi route on Daitoshokan. I just couldn't get into any of the characters in the game and it felt like I lost interest on everything once I got past the 'conclusion' in the true route. I think it's the first time for me that I couldn't get into any character for a very long time. I can't really blame anything about it since it was a very interesting read overall. For once I just wish there had been an ending that would have included self-sacrifice or something along the lines. I just felt the happy ending sort of betrayed my expectations. And if the endings don't differ much on true route like >>10418551 said I don't think I'll be going back into them. I suppose I'll skip on the other normal routes as well.

In fact I feel like jumping straight into something new right now. A choice between Asairo, Oretsuba, Ruitomo, Owaru Sekai to Birthday, fortissimo EXS, Cross Channel, Mahoyo and Gahkthun. Leaning towards Gahkthun or Asairo right now... I guess I'll go to sleep now and decide tomorrow.

it's when the logo comes on screen, it's the best picture of Inganock I can think of. I don't think there's any inganock artbooks (might be wrong) so you'll have to do with the game's background for your needs

There was a Liar/raiL poster art collection released in C82, possibly still available somewhere

Someone here once scanned and posted two Sharnoth doujinshi and a Sona-nyl one, all by AKIRA.

Gears of Dragoon sure like to throw some hilariously hard boss fights at you, has to be one of the harder JRPGs that I have played in while. Wonder if it would have been better to go to law route first as chaos route has bit limited character roster to use due to situation so some bosses are just pain. Now back to grind a bit so I can beat this fucker

How come whenever I find a nukige with art I like and my major fetishes they always have VAs I can't stand?
Fuck.

Well, the true route ended on a pretty silly note, I'm not quite sure what they were thinking, really.
I guess they just ran out of ideas on what to actually do and just put in whatever.
Apart from that the game turned out to be a rather pleasant experience, so I'm happy enough.
