White Ren is my favourite tripfellow after Suigin and Sakura.

Thank god this will never happen with Muramasa as the game is almost constantly good and delivers on many different levels. The only glaring fault trolls could nitpick would be the pacing which, by the way, is better than Muv-Luv's.

Why do trolls keep bullying Muramasa? She hasn't done anything to you, leave her alone. (Meiya and Rain can go to hell for all I care)

Hyperion is pretty good. Although I haven't read the two Endymion books yet which I heard are pretty mediocre.

>The fact of the matter is that the writing in MLA is solid, but not 'great' or anything
It sure is better than your run of the mill eroge. Seriously, did you read it in English? Because if you did, that automatically invalidates your opinion on the quality of the writing.

Reading it in Japanese makes you appreciate the text a lot more and might even make some people overlook the tediousness.

Nothing. Lack of sleep's really getting to me now, time for bed.

>Yeah thanks for not spoiling me but, dose that brown women with the sword in the Sega Saturn opening have a route?
No.

Disregard what I said then, my memory is playing tricks on me.

The scenes leading to sex were left intact from what I gathered. As in, you couldn't see the scenes themselves, but it was heavily implied that the characters had sex.

The scenes itself were left intact from what I gathered, but you couldn't see them having sex. Kinda like Kikokugai's remake.

>No, I just thought that reviewing a porn game without actually talking about the sex scenes is kind of silly.
Maybe because the porn itself isn't essential when reviewing the game. It's not a sexromp. Also are you backpedaling here? You clearly said:
>reviewing porn
making an implication that reviewing such games is blasphemy.

>No, but I'm sure the reviewer thinks this way because of the above mentioned. Actually, Umineko is shit.
Ixrec actually makes a mention of porn when it actually matters (or so he would like to think) in few of his reviews.

My opinion:

>The intricacy and subtlety of the story is truly mind-boggling, and almost impossible to comprehend on a first playthrough.
I thought the game was pretty straightforward in that it gives all the relevant answers upon finishing the game.
>Part of why it can do this is the clever gameplay system in which, not only do you get to go through seemingly endless route permutations, but you literally get an in-game map of all the permutations and tools to warp around it practically at will (though you need to carefully plan out how to use them, which is cool in and of itself), allowing you to do truly awesome things like borrow objects and knowledge from other universes in order to unlock an alternate ending in an earlier one. Even today, this system feels incredibly innovative and immaculately designed.
I sure as hell wouldn't play it without using a walkthrough.
>And of course, the cast and writing are absolutely integral to pulling this off. Never have I played a game in which the conversations felt so human and so natural so consistently that for all I know these really are real people and real events and I've just been stalking them all for the past few weeks. Even the slut and the asshole were incredibly fun to listen to (partly since protag-kun is also great), not to mention all of the actual heroines, most of whom are instantly lovable.
The characters and the dialogue may feel fresh compared to modern eroge, but they didn't feel that compelling to me.

YU-NO is all about the another world episode. It's a masterpiece nonetheless.

i c. Weird, I remember having read this same text i Janen hen fucking 鋼屋 7/10

>>7768199
Are these lines from janen Hen?

>>7768212
>Hikaru didn't know that Kageaki's her father, right?
It really isn't made 100% clear to the reader whether she knew until the scene where she utters her last words. But yes, she knew.

Ushinaware had pretty neat visuals at least.

Not exactly sure what you're trying to prove here other than the fact that you took that image from VNDB.

I don't know how good Ixrec's translation is, but I think I'd do the game and myself a disservice if I didn't play it in Japanese.

To elaborate on something I said earlier: the writing is far, far from bad. But for some reason I'm not getting the same vibe as I did from Oretsuba even though both games have spectacular writing. Might have something to do with me being stuck at the beginning and getting used to the writing, since I just got to the part where Daichi loses himself after seeing meganekko's blood and that's like only 3-4 hours into the game or so, so yeah.

>It actually manages to make me feel like every single line in the game has a point, and that if you removed any one of them the scene simply wouldn't be complete (this probably isn't true, but it sure feels like it).
Funny, that's how I felt when I read oretsuba, not so much for CC which I'm reading right now at a snail's pace.
