IIRC Elf made Kakyuusei after getting criticism that both Doukyuusei's MCs are turbodicks and the mechanics encourages the player to be multiple timing asshole because you're bound to stumble to more than a girl's events when moving around, and there's no reason for the player to stick to a girl after fucking her with some exception.

I'm probably a slowpoke but have you guys seen the noratoto 5th anniversary announcements yet? The patch with the extra content came out a couple days ago and they announced a 3rd game in addition to a new IP. I'm still in the middle of playing the 2nd game so I'm pretty excited.

I hope it has some shimaidon scenes again, and maybe threesomes with the other heroines, and more h-scenes for Nobuchina, honestly I don't see what they can do with the characters anymore beyond porn and gags.

>>33446272
There's apparently 10 new CG included in the patch but I imagine they're just the silly okangae stuff rather than any H content. I checked out a few of them yesterday and they are indeed very japanese. I understand them a lot better than when I first played the game 4-5 years ago but for the most part they're just goofy kanji or misunderstanding-based jokes. I'm not really sure what to expect from their new IP but the one thing I'm hoping for in the sequel is a route for Nobuchika. So if that happens maybe we'll get a scene or two with her and Nobuchina. Story-wise I think you're probably right that it'll mainly be gags and stuff but I think we can probably expect a couple new characters and a new arc similar to what they did with Iris.

So what exactly is the gameplay in Dokyuusei? Is it just run around randomly and hope you stumble across the girl you like / look up a walkthrough and just follow it? If it's something that requires you to be absolutely perfect and know exactly what you're doing and trial and error until you make it, I may want to just switch to casual mode. Call me a casual or whatever, but I just don't have a place in my life for that older style of game design where they try to make the game longer by obfuscating everything. If I wanted that I'd be playing rpgmaker games.

I've never been good with games with deadlines no matter the genre, I always panic and worry about playing optimally so I look up a guide and that kills the fun, but then if I don't look up a guide I'll always discover I missed something and that kills the fun too.

It'd be better to be able to skip the entire gameplay.
They made one game (Material Brave), that was genuinely fun to play, although the story was double ass. Then they made a sequel/fandisc, and changed some things. Result, the gameplay is now double ass as well.

I'm still mad at that game. It should've been so good, with all the gameplay focus and such, but they changed the fundamental way of how combos work, which results into the battle system no longer really working. They also removed the ability to load back right before a fight, and instead use save points, AND made the game crash every 10 minutes. Absolutely great combination.
It'd be better to never have to bother with their gameplay. I know how I was excited about the baldr sky dive battle system at first as well. Felt a bit like Star Ocean 3, and that was great. Well, it didn't last very long, until I realized they did EVERY fucking thing they could, to make the game as unenjoyable as possible with the unlock and upgrade system. The battles also got generally worse, although that also might've just been my impression as I felt the entire game got worse with each route. (final route aside)

NG+ was announced pre-release so I don't know why people keep whining about it. Just wait with playing if you need it so much. It's not like it's missing and NOT announced. That I'd understand.
Okay removing a long-standing feature kinda sucks but it's not the end of the world. Maybe the NG+ update will add this?
So all heroines are equal. Sounds fine to me. True route shouldn't be necessary, and it's a writer/director's choice. Something tells me they might release a Grand Route append later. Clarias had a bad development cycle and I think despite all the delays they still rushed it out. The NG+ patch will be the first of many updates unless the game flops so hard they just drop future plans.

The game getting roasted I don't mind if it's for adequate reasons. This review is not one of those: https://erogamescape.dyndns.org/~ap2/ero/toukei_kaiseki/memo.php?game=29478&uid=bidouda2000

In this medium shit like this is generally seen as a negative especially with all the systems they have in place for increasing heroine affection but you shills can keep pretending its a kamige or whatever illusion you have. If it had a grand route like einstein i can somewhat look over half assed heroine routes like that had.

It is a negative point for most people including myself, i will most likely enjoy the rest of clarias since it meshes well enough to my narou isekai LN loving shit taste but ill still find the void heroine routes as half assed and a missed opportunity.

Just starting https://vndb.org/v7021, the VN quickly establishing the childhood friend as the main heroine, like how she and MC both very close despite not being a couple, being playful to each other and does stuff that draws jealousy from other characters. I like it, I've been looking to something like Aikagi except with more characters in the story and this feels perfect so far. I hope the story doesn't get too serious by adding love triangle drama or something like that.

Times simply change is all. An RPG like Dragon Quest used to have you do literally everything with menus. That would drive most people nuts nowadays and ragequit. Point&Click ADV or raising sims also aren't popular anymore like they used to in the 90s. And the ones still made usually have many QoL changes to make them simpler/easier.

You have to keep in mind, that back then quality of life things weren't really known. People played games on floppies, sometimes 10 or more, with insane loading times and computers generally were a matter of patience. NES was SUPER limited in what you can actually do with it. A lot of the crap you see on there isn't because they wanted it to be like that, but because it had to be like that to be somewhat playable. The reason why text adventures were popular back then, just like point and click, is, again, because that was one of the few things you could actually do with the hardware.

Times changed though. If you fuck up your menus now (i.e. divinity OS), there's only the dev to blame. And likewise, there are plenty of other things you can do very well. You can see parallels to VR though. That's still very limited and most of the things you get with that is puzzle games, adventures and otherwise very simple things. They have the same issues devs had back then. It's a limited audience and VR isn't that great yet either.

As someone said previously, it's a nanpa game. You pursue all heroines at the same time and asshole MC doesn't really love them, he wants to get laid. And the reward is at the end and short. You can't treat this like a normal romance game.

The system isn't that different from modern eroge though. Usually if you play blind (and the game has choices that aren't obvious) you will enter events for heroines you are not pursuing. Whereas in Doukyuusei you have to do these other heroine events to progress on your chosen path because you need to unlock new events by doing those others.

No shit. Never claimed otherwise. But isekai is just as braindead and pointless as battle shounen as a genre. Other genre have a better payoff at least.

Not really. I think Doukyuusei’s system is actually pretty lax. If you look at a guide it will say stuff like ‘go to X at Y time’ but the flags aren’t too strict I don’t think. I was able to get most of the heroines in one play through guideless just fucking around and doing whatever. Doukyuusei 2 is a different story though. That game is pretty strict with the time, though I think it’s a better game overall.

Whenever names I recognize get brought up, I start to wonder just how many people in here I know in some form. Feel like due to the scarcity of JOPs out there, at least 75% percent of the discussions going on here are between people who know each other, but are unaware due to 4chan anonymity.

Try Baldr Heart, avoid Bringer. Maybe check out Material Brave, but the gameplay is different from Baldr.

That's not true for Doukyuusei though
That's why Doukyuusei was known as the game that started out being made a nanpa game but somehow ended up as a romance game
Even at the beginning of the game, MC says he wants to get a girlfriend, not just play around. And his problem is that he sincerely falls for every girl he runs into, he's not calculatedly using them. There's a whole conversation between him and the nurse about that, where he's saying he'll just make everyone happy and she's saying that's not really possible. In a lot of ways he thinks like a child. Very different from the cynical sadistic MC in ナンパ生ハメ 中出し万歳 that uses women on purpose.

>> No.33486141

>>33486037
Another thing that sets the tone of Doukyuusei is that, by the time the game starts, all the women in town already know his history of being a heartbreaker and he can no longer get away with his old antics. With one exception, all the girls get involved with him fully expecting he may be with some other girl a week later. One of the interesting things about the game is the various ways the girls think about that and why they decide to sleep with him anyway. Sometimes just casual one night stands, sometimes falling for him hard enough to think it's worth it, and sometimes they're the one using him.

But that's the thing, "he sincerely falls for every girl he runs into" and consequently has to go after them so you can unlock new events with whoever you go after. "make everyone happy" is harem shit. None of that is real pure love romance. MC is still a player. Being an asshole or child-like doesn't matter, it's about what you do.

What do you mean by this? Why would a longer fight, meaning more chances to screw up, be easier? Especially considering all the bosses start using new moves when their health drops.

long time isnt referring to fight length. the fights after his I found much easier for a long time.Since he was just soo tanky in comparison meaning there was more time for me to slip up and get one combo'd especially since you only have one the MC.


>Not really? All the bosses have pretty unique attack patterns.

I pretty much get to see all of them in the 1st try. The hardest part of any of the boss fights on very hard is not making a mistake and getting one combo'd during the longer length of the fights, sure bosses are unique but individually they have limited attack patterns that are easy to cheese.

The 1999 Windows version of Doukyuusei that the remake is based on came out the same year as the Windows version of Words Worth that got a similar hack job applied to the sex scenes. Supposedly that was because it was going to be a console port; I wonder if the same was planned for Doukyuusei 1.
(Doukyuusei 2 was on PlayStation 1, but not Doukyuusei 1. Doukyuusei 1 was on Saturn, but that port was by NEC Interchannel, who had already done the PC Engine port which is what they ported to Saturn, rather than by Elf themselves, so the weird rewrite of Dou1 may have been Elf's plan to put it on PS1.)
