Excellent choice, best heroine of the bunch.
Although to be honest, I never did get around to the other routes.

I just finished Cross Channel. It wasnt great but it wasnt bad either. The way the story was told made me want to keep playing to find out more.

[mormon guy !nAP.g00d1k No.]

I'm absolutely adoring Tsun na Kanojo Dere na Kanojo. I started it back in February, I kept the saved game that I saved on Valentine's day because it's funny. I wasn't very much interested when I started so I dropped it for months. A few weeks ago my roommates all moved out and I got stuck with no utilities or internet for 2 weeks so I had to go to my aunt's. During that time I played some Tsun na Kanojo Dere na Kanojo because I had so little to do.

Anyway I thought it was a game of Tsunderes but it's not. It's a game with 3 Deredere girls and 3 Tsundere girls. The derederes confess to the MC pretty early in the story, the tsunderes won't break of course and I love cracking a good tsundere.

It's cute, a hell of a lot cuter than I thought going in to it. There's a space alien chick, a childhood friend, another childhood friend that's like a sister, a set of twins, a promise girl from childhood, and an unwanted fiance.

I love the references to Urusai Yatsura and how the alien chick claims she's related to Lum. When the MC laughs at her for believing old comic book characters are real she zaps him, like Lum.

I'm having fun (also why I disappeared from reading Ijiwaru My Master which I'll get back to in a bit, I'm easily distracted).

Finished STEINS;GATE
Solid 9/10, not the god tier I was expecting but still pretty damn good.

Perhaps the hype was too much though, I expected so much from the scenario that I kept looking at every details, in the end I could see pretty much everything coming from miles ahead so no bricks were shat.

Talk about coincidence - I'm playing YMK as well.
Only I finished Aeka and Mizuki routes years ago, and stopped because Nekoko's seemed too retarded to me at the time(it was one of my first VNs).
I still think fucking a random mentally retarded kid up the ass, in a dirty back alley, bent over a dumpster, is dumb, but I'm enjoying the game. I'm almost at the end.
And of course, I'm frustrated again because there's no sister route.
Gotta have to look for something with incest after I finish.

[Anonymous No.]

>Yume Miru Kusuri
Shit. Literally. Jesus Christ, I've never ever read anything worse than that pile of shit. Everybody was talking about it for years now, so I thought I'd give it a try. I regret it. Sex scenes were stupid and not entertaining at all, even Nasu could write something better. Every route was a one big sex scene, especially Mizuki's which didn't have any plot just constantly sex and pregnancy in the end. Shit sucked.

>Saya no Uta
A bit better than YMK, but still. I was bored the whole time reading it. All this hype was probably a troll, just like it was with Boku no Pico. Okay, the motive as a whole was nice, but performance was shit. A fucked up guy and even more fucked up girl, if I can call her like that. Shit too.

>Swan Song
This one, on the other hand, was pretty much nice. From the entertaining prologue until halfway was awesome, but they was going downhill. I'm not gonna say it was shit, but was clearly worse than the beginning yet readable. TOO MANY SCENES WITH THAT GLASSES GUY WHO WENT RAMBO, that fucked it up. Also, retard.

I really don't get all these threads.
Are you all using machine translations and only somewhat understand them? Yet make all these semi-reviews and give out all these ratings?

Or are you truly able to read Japanese on a sufficient level? I mean I too can follow stories enough for them to be able to be enjoyable using Mecab, and/or other aids.
But it still feels butchered as i know it's not of the quality it is supposed to be, thus I rarely read stories like that, especialy when it comes to titles that are likely to be translated.

If you know Japanese good enough to feel that you aren't missing out on something, then why aren't some of you contributing to all our little projects everywhere?
Or even, why here at all? If you can read them, then shouldn't you discuss them with others who can read them? Instead of here on /jp/ where people don't know what you have read,

There's a big difference between being able to read a VN and being able to translate it into English. Also reading Japanese is much easier than writing it, so we'd have problems trying to express ourselves more eloquently than something along the lines of "I like the parts where you have sex with your daughters" on a Japanese forum.

So because we don't put a ridiculous amount of our free time into translating a game for whiny nerds for no profit at all, we're lazy? Are you an idiot? I'd never do anything without gaining anything from it. At least playing eroge is entertaining.

I started KimiNozo last night. Holy shit, this is so much better than the anime, which I watched like 5 years ago when I was a fledgling weeaboo. Haruka is MOEEEEEEEEEE, and I love the way the VN is put together. I can't pin it down, but something about the way the sprites and interface and everything works makes it feel so alive. Like, you remember how the sprites blinking in SR, just that little tidbit, made it feel so much better? It's just like that. There are so many POV shots, effects, and everything else that it's just *fun* as hell to play. It'll probably takes me ages to get through it though, since I've heard it's long as hell. LB! took me 6 months, but that was the 2nd VN I'd ever read in Japanese, so I figure I've improved my reading speed a lot. Maybe I can finish Kiminozo in one or two.

Charles "Lucky" Luciano (born Salvatore Lucania; November 24, 1897 – January 26, 1962) was an Italian gangster born in Sicily, Italy. Luciano is considered the father of modern organized crime in America for splitting New York City into five different Mafia crime families and the establishment of the first commission. He was the first official boss of the modern Genovese crime family. He was, along with his associate Meyer Lansky, instrumental in the development of the "National Crime Syndicate" in the United States.

>George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948), best known as "Babe" Ruth and nicknamed "the Bambino" and "the Sultan of Swat", was an American Major League baseball player from 1914–1935. Ruth originally broke into the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox as a starting pitcher, but after he was sold to the New York Yankees in 1919, he converted to a full-time right fielder and subsequently became one of the league's most prolific hitters. Ruth was a mainstay in the Yankees' lineup that won seven pennants and four World Series titles during his tenure with the team. After a short stint with the Boston Braves in 1935, Ruth retired. In 1936, Ruth became one of the first five players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

I think, essentially, we're going to be looking at Americans who were born in the 1800s. Specifically, New York.

Elysia travels amidst the surface ruins alone (as in, there's no people above ground), Lily wakes up as reverse trap without memories and finds the warped underground where she's taken around by "the A"'s love train. Hijinks possibly ensue. She seems to have a Wizard of Oz/Wonderland kind-of-feeling going on.

The anime announcement is actually horrible.
Fans of the anime will "eat out" the title, until it's old and boring rather than hip and cool, but it will still be "dug up" so to speak, thus no one will care anymore, and everyone is stuck with whatever the impression the anime gave off, and we all know that adaptations are generally worse compared to their originals no matter the media.

So
Fans will flock it because of rumours of it's source being great.
Fans will be left with an impression that's likely to not being able to compete with the original
Most of the fans won't know better, and some might even claim it's good, or wonderful in fact because anime that's not adaptations are rare nowadays.
So they will be satisfied, fed up, and spread the impression from the not up to par adaptation and still give it off as S;G as if it's no different from the original. Resulting in people believing it's worse than it actually is.
Then a part of the fanbase will come of as obnoxious and annoying pricks, like a portion of all fanbases more or less.


None of this works in favour of us seeing S;G in english, instead S;G will be forever tied with the anime in the eyes of others in the west, and not the other way around.

Just finished Sharin no Kuni, which I think is probably one of the best I've read. In the middle of Swan Song which I find enjoyable so far, though not as much as Sharin.

higurashi had a huge hype/following due to KILLER LOLIS XD, I doubt Steins;Gate will have the same impact. It's a nice story, but nothing groundbreaking.

So you can predict what's going to be popular now?

You should sell yourself to film studios. I'm sure they'd pay you millions.

I'm trying to get into the VN thing.
But it's kinda slow going. I know enough to kinda get the grammar, with the help of Jparser to look up words I don't know (which is practically all of them). But, sometimes I can't put the meaning together, so I just kinda know what it means
So far I've tried Fullmetal Demon Muramasa and Umineko 7, but I get impatient after a few pages.
Are there any VNs or eroge that are more beginner friendly?
Or do I just have to be persistent and keep on going?

[reiserFS !Hc6EcVkstI No.]

>>6083359
Indeed, there's no fucking way they can stuff so much content into 13 episodes. MadHouse tried and failed horribly.

You're the one that needs to work on your reading comprehension.

You said "I doubt Stein's Gate will be popular" and I implied that there's no way to tell whether or not a work will be popular before it's released.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6083398
You chose two of the possibly worse eroge for beginners. Muramasa is full of archaic forms/made-up kanji compounds, and Umineko, while pretty easy, has no voices so it's all visual recognition.
I'd suggest to get a better grasp of the language before tackling what is essentially a novel-level text, otherwise it just becomes tiring and boring.
I don't know why you would put yourself through it if you find it boring. If it's not fun, you're doing it wrong/only for e-penis or something.

Steins;Gate can be done in 13 episodes, it's not that long of a game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6083437
>there's no way to tell whether or not a work will be popular before it's released.
of course, but there's still factors that can be taken into account. Few episodes for a huge story, medium transition, loss of the pov thoughts...
Are you an asspained S;G fanboy?

I'm just frustrated that it's not as easy as I thought.

Depends on which studio will do it. It's already doomed if they let MadHouse do the job again.

Do we even have an episode count yet?

These last really depend on the studio.

And no, not a fanboy, just someone who likes arguing.

24 episodes would be too long.

[reiserFS !Hc6EcVkstI No.]

>>6083483
We don't and neither do we know which studio's going to animate S;G.

>>6083486
While I agreed with the 13 episodes, you'll have to keep in mind how you'd squeeze all the explanation, science and story into them. Could be possible, but it's far from perfect and true to the game.

I love it when this starts getting thrown around. People playing with ATLAS really made a lot of elitists paranoid around here.

Read Cross Channel and liked it. I haven't Inganock, but it looks interesting, so I'll give it a shot next.

Most chapters can be done in 1 or 2 episodes.
For example Ruka or Faris's chapters can be condensed in 1 episode easily.
The early chapters are full of slice of life that can be condensed as well, 13 is enough.

Alright, now I know that you're trolling.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6083582
Full of slice of life? Did i played the same Steins;Gate as you? Only chapters 8 and 11 can be done in 1 ep, with cutting 7 and 10. Rest must get 2-3. And now fit this into 13 episodes.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6083613
How the fuck is it trolling?
The slice of life comment just mean that there is a lot of comedy and character interaction that can be condensed without losing too much.
Steins;Gate isn't a long game anyways

[Anonymous No.]

>>6075277
Finished it. Really, really weak ending. The villain was pretty bad and the music very repetitive. (Went into the sound mode and there's like... 6 tracks) The rest wasn't too bad, to be honest I expected much worse considering it's the worst rated Eve game on EGS if you don't count Adam and that Mahjong game.
Apparently some of the issues I have with it have been fixed in the PC version but I couldn't find a download for it. (played the PS version instead)

Rated it 67/100. Wouldn't say the game is worth it unless you really loved Burst Error and want more. Just go in with low expectations.

Accurate portrayal of Kurisu's reaction to /jp/ spam.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6086451
This one's more accurate.

I, for one, find it ironic that they announce the S;G anime right before releasing Muramasa: Theatrical Version and bash all adaptations to hell.
Well, at least the characters will stay the same, and that means we'll have just the right amount of their interactions to make the anime at least half-decent. But I suppose they're going to base it on the manga, not the VN, and the manga already got rid of tons of episodes in three chapters we got translated.

Are you talking about the first game, or the series in general? I was thinking about starting with the second since it's what I see talked about most often, would you suggest playing the first one first?

Shurelia makes the first one more than worth it. If you're going to play, might as well play in chronological order.

I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed by Steins;Gate.
It was pretty good but it didn't rock my world nor did it go somewhere I didn't expect, it was a bit like watching a pretty entertaining movie, I had a good time but it felt a bit "light" in the end.

Currently playing MOON. Did all the routes, but I'm still missing the CG that's supposed to be found in Youko's room on night 7. Every time I try to go there on night 7, the door's still locked so I must be making a wrong choice somewhere.

Because her awesomeness would overshadow everyone else.
Or maybe because they didn't want to NTR Kazuma.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6096358
That's because it's an after story. No one else got routes.

She's a shit character anyway. I'd much rather have Alice or Takauchi routes.
