This thread is for the discussion of untranslated Japanese visual novels.
What are you playing? What are you looking forward to? What have you finished? You know the drill.
Remember folks, don't support arrogant crackers, support the legitimate pirate business.
This is it lads.
No more texthookers.
No more piratefags.
No more fantranslations.
The age of the plebeian will soon be over, to usher the new age of the true patrician.
4/29 can't come soon enough.
>>14894743
What's happening 4/29?
>>14894752
The beginning of eroge holocaust.
>>14894758
Oh, come on. People said the same thing about Otona no Renai Jijou. It turned out to be FUCKING NOTHING.
>>14894764
The threat is REAL this time.
>>14894774
The threat to Akabeisoft maybe.
>>14894764
This time the enemy is denuvo though, Fifa 2016 & tomb raider & Just cause 3 is still uncracked even though they got released months ago and they are far more popular than eroges.
Our only hope is the retarded jap coders. Also which server will they use at denuvo? If I'm not wrong those games are using steam / origin servers, which is not a choice for eroges.
>>14894807
>>14894774
It doesn't matter what they use if they can't properly utilize the software. There's absolutely no threat.
>>14894815
Your positiveness made me happy, since I actually got bothered a little about this shit. Lets hope it goes just as you say.
>>14894815
>>14894807
Sales won't rise no matter what and other companies will watch closely.
No happenings.
>it will succeed, leading to all the other big name companies to utilize it as well
My worst nightmare.
Amazon japan now allows games to be imported internationally
Pretty big news
>>14894826
>>14894829
Seriously, they're going to fuck it up. They're going to need at least a few tries to get used to the software, and we all know the first game they use it on is going to be a disaster like it was with their last DRM stunt. It'll just deter people from buying any new games. There's nothing to worry about.
>>14894837
Doesn't matter when you get arrested before it reaches your doorstep.
>>14894842
Why would you be arrested for a game?
>>14894851
Harming virtual little girls is a crime, Mr. Lolicon.
>>14894837
ABOUT TIME
>>14894837
Doesn't matter. They have allowed books/manga to be imported internationally for a long time and ero books are not allowed, I don't see why they would allow eroge.
>>14894838
It's not even that. Akabei thinks they would make more profit if they prevent piracy, which is bullshit. Pirates will pirate or look for something else. If anything, sales will go down because of people can't sell their games after they're done.
The worst case is that we can't play an Akabei. There are worse fates.
>>14894870
I dont care about akabei even a slightly bit, as long as it doesn't jump into other companies I have no problem.
But yeah you mentioned something great, since this fucks up with the second sale thing I'm sure it will have an impact on sales.
Looks like we will see something as funny as bamboo's mad post this year.

Good riddance.

I kind of liked their monkey art.
But everything after Kira Kira was ass. So yeah, good riddance.
>>14894997
>俺アメリカ人じゃないしアメリカの法律関係ないから削除申請応じないZE!」
Lmao, its actually pretty funny. I'm expecting some same kind of thing from akabei as well, when their game got cracked again.
>>14894997
Oh, it was milktub who wrote this? I liked some of his songs too, fuck.
>>14894997
>出荷数の3倍以上の本数を落とされ単純計算で本来得られるべき1億円以上の売上損失額だしたら、そら理解も無くなるわ。
So if we take the game's price as 10.000 yen, Did they only sold 2000-2500 at total? Man I thought eroges are selling more than those.
>>14895086
And yet, torrents get 30k-100k downloads. Just saying. Not implying those are 30k-100k lost potential sales.
>>14894774
Worst case scenario we start using the deep web for downloads. You should buy the games, though. Support the creators.
>>14895158
What? If you cant play the game whats the point of downloading, the denuvo is preventing from playing not downloading.
>>14895127
They really should reconsider their price policy for eroge. Japanese economy is in the shitter and likely to get worse. ~9.000￥ is simply too much.
>>14895164
And with the denuvo cost probably it will be around ~12-14.000 yet at least.
>>14895158
I'll support the creators when they don't actively prevent me from downloading them and when their prices are reasonable. A poorly written 10-30 hour moege/nukige (with a 50% chance of being boring, poorly written, generic shit) shouldn't cost as much as, if not more than, Fallout 4 or GTAV. As it stands I'd rather 95% of companies die than pay those prices. VNs are fun but that is just not economical.
>>14895177
Poorly written moege/nukige are all you'll be left with. Piracy hits scenarioge much harder.
>>14894713
You'll get cucked as always, 購入厨
>>14894997
Haha wow. No wonder this faggot is friends with nbkz, he's equally autistic. Will he close Mangagamer now? These retards act like fucking children whenever things don't go their way.
>>14895260
Yeah right. I bought a scenarioge and no one would upload a torrent of it, nor did anyone give any indication of having played it from the manual download. This leads me to conclude two obvious things. One, people are extremely motivated by porn even when the porn is not that good as is the standard for scenarioge. Two, scenarioge suffers from lack of interest for whatever reason. You can see it even in this thread how the vast majority of posts are of moe-type games. I get the feeling that mega-hype scenario games like Muramasa, Fate stay Night, Dies Irae, etc etc give off the impression that people really like scenarioge, but as far as I can tell there's something special about those that drive people to play them in particular but not other scenarioge. Running through my head right now, the mainly hyped games... Akeiro, Maitetsu, Sen no Hatou, Jeanne, Aikuru. I wonder how many people would play them if they didn't have porn or weren't focused around anime girls. I would only put my bets on Sen no Hatou for August fans (i.e. fans of their comedy which I'm sure are few in comparison to moebuta) and Aikuru for Watanabe "Fucking" Ryouichi fans but that's about it.
>>14895295
People over at VNTS said he sold Mangagames a ~2 years ago but I never checked if it's true.
>>14895337
Hobibox bought most of MG shares from various founding companies but bamboo is still CEO.
>>14895398
That's interesting.
I know that after the Hairy Canadian incident they founded LevoL, but I found it rather odd he didn't do any other public events like the livestream where he brought Tammy on the Mangagamer side.
Last I saw of him he was hosting a web radio show with Ueda Akane on DMM advertising money. It was rather funny, but that's about it, and it ended last December.
>>14894837
Source? Nothing on the site indicates that this is true and I haven't seen it discussed anywhere else.
>>14895924
Never mind. The game I tried putting in my cart wasn't being sold by Amazon, just fulfilled by them.
>>14895938
Amazon won't ship R18 books overseas though, so might not apply to eroge.
>>14895970
I know that, I wasn't expecting them to start shipping 18+ stuff overseas. It's just convenient to have another place to import games from.
>>14894653
I should play Triangle Heart some day just to ogle Nanoha
>>14894653
Is that the Nanoha game included with newest Tech Gian?
>>14894713
I actually wanted to play their upcoming release more than the previous one that was cracked day one
I guess I'll just have to pass
Also this is fucking retarded since even if people dont pirate, as long as they dont destroy the used games market this is just useless struggle, they wont get a penny if users buy games used
Gaijin neets in this thread will be fucked regardless, though
>>14896010
It's nice, but it really does show its age.
>>14896094
No, that's the fan disc where Crono fugs Nanoha.
The OP is from the game before that where you play as her older brother, who can stop time if I remember right.
It's possible they'll eventually release a remover for that DRM. Like a year after the game gets release for example. After such time no money is to be made from the game anyway.
In the past they did it for some games, Tasogare no Sinsemilla for example. Although the wording with the pach makes it sound like the DRM only worked for one year.
![12074241364l[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/2ogSeq9.jpg "12074241364l[1].jpg")

What kind of plot twist do you expect for ISLAND?
Like, the island is purgatory?
gimme the twins.
>>14896398
Secret cult/organization and time travel. You also have to clear all the routes to escape purgatory.
>>14896415
Time travel is in the premise already. MC came from the future.
>>14896227
What a qt
>>14896416
Was thinking more along the lines of how the time travel itself will be the plot twist or the source of the mystery of the island.
I don't know, settings where time travel is involved usually comes to whodunnit or some otherworldly explanation like dimensions or something. Either way, I am looking forward for the game.
Speaking of Island, their site has updated. 凛音 is kill.

>>14896703
But she's the one I want to date the most.
I've been outta the loop in the VN scene. Why are you guys flying in hysteria like the sky is falling? I take it's another DRM fiasco which is bound to get cracked in a week or two.
>>14896758
This is Denuvo though.
>>14896761
And? Care to explain further?
>>14896773
Perhaps learn to read the thread? >>14894807
>>14896773
>And?
It's hard to crack
>>14896778
I thought Denuvo was a title for an upcoming VN until I googled it up. Goes to show how much I've lived in a literal rock.
>>14896799
Besides Akabeisoft, what other companies are using this? I'm assuming since it's hard to crack, the software ain't cheap and knowing the average VN studio doesn't have a lot of money to burn, we should be relatively ok for now.
>>14896810
> and knowing the average VN studio doesn't have a lot of money to burn, we should be relatively ok for now.
It means the most likely scenario is for a few VNs to come out with it, to sell no differently than they did before, and the companies to realize they were dumb
So does every good VN have time travel elements?
>>14896924
Muramasa didn't have any time travel so no.
>>14896924
Of course, it's impossible to write a good VN without time-travel and plot-twists.
>>14896939
One of themanga spin-offsdoes.
>>14896940
What's your favorite plot twist in VNs then?
>>14896924
So does every good VN have at least one flat chested girl?
>>14896908
Why? It may be increase the sales.
>>14896956
Yes.
>>14896956
How flat is flat?
>>14896939
>>14897026
Time travel elements confirmed winning strategy for VN writing.
>>14897043

Seems like a worthwhile visit?
Any ero with lots of ichaicha?
Like the protagonist constantly getting into perverted situations and such
So when does Hikari to Tsumi no Rendezvous get good? Some bitch just forced upon and moved in with MC for no reason.
I decided I'd finally get around to reading SubaHibi and recalled that the opening was built around Lucky Star. I presume that I'll have to watch that first?
>>14897382
I mean seriously most are just confession and then sometimes I go straight to the sex scenes.
They may have a date and then get some into each other but in the end it's just too fast there's little sexual tension building up.
I guess I just want to see me some sexual tension building like more kissing and then slowly into sex stuff Like a bit more touching in a bit more curiosity into more adult stuff
>>14897382
>>14897565
I heard Princess Evangile has pretty good relationship buildup, but I'm still on the common route so I can't testify for sure yet.
>>14897382
>Any ero with lots of ichaicha?
Literally fucking everything holy shit what the fuck are you thinking what planet are you on jesus
>>14897557
Yeah. The game assumes you've seen it, and you'll probably be confused by some of the plot developments if you haven't, especially in the first two chapters and Jabberwocky.
>>14897574
Most just go straight to the sex scene what I'm looking for mmore lewd stuff
like panicon
>>14897609
Really? Not him, but I haven't seen Lucky Star and so far the game isn't really all that confusing. And now that I'm in Looking-Glass Insects many things are pretty clear.
>>14897613
Play Daitoshokan, girls' routes start before MC and the girl start dating, take some time to do it and then sex also takes some time. Well, I guessSenri'sroute is an exception, she's a lustful slut and fucks MC the first night.
>>14897226
I might drop by this weekend to look at the cafe.
>>14897613
"Most" are filled to the brim with icha icha. It's even obnoxious.
>>14897617
It becomes more obvious later, but the game is built as much around Lucky Star as it is the Tractatus. It's pretty important that you've watched it if you want to get the most out of Subahibi.
>>14897557
>Lucky Star
>>14897617
He's probably joking or blowing it out of proportion. You definitely don't need to watch Lucky Star to understand SubaHibi, only thing "related" is (heavy late game spoilers that I think are revealed around Jabberwocky)the twins being figments of Yuki and Takuji personalities' imagination and the game explains they're based on "some anime" which is clearly supposed to be Lucky Star (both have pink hair, same names and similar personalities to the anime), though the game never actually drops the series' name. After It's My Own Invention the twins don't really play any role at all in the story as far as I'm remembering.
Not that I ever watched Lucky Star in its entirety, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
https://vndb.org/p5874
This is just sad.
>>14897662
This particular spoiler I had spoiled before. Well, other things too. That's what I get for waiting so long with playing Subahibi.
It's My Own Invention has heavy foreshadowing for it and I can pick it up easily like this. But come to think of it, doesn't the scene in Down The Rabbit Hole 2 whereYuki is carrying the dead Kagami home, someone completely unrelated turns out to live there and Kagami becomes a stuffed animalshow it quite clearly already?
>>14897662
>Not that I ever watched Lucky Star in its entirety
Well, that would be why. If you had, you'd have realized that (major Subahibi spoilers)C'mon, don't spoil the fun.
>>14897685
You were too obvious to begin with.
>>14897678
How many years has it been again?
>>14897704
8 years?
So I've looked up information on denuvo, after reading a bit about it who in their right mind would buy anything with that shit on it?
Specially something like eroge. I buy like half of the games I play and I find this shit a complete deal breaker and certainly won't ever spend money on anything that has it.
>>14897681
>show it quite clearly already?
By that pointyou don't really know about the mental state of the protagonist, how true any of the supernatural elements may or may not be plus you also see the twins from Takuji's perspective, and while he is obviously quite bonkers in his own way the player shouldn't know about the mainpersonality switchtwist yet, especially since you see him interacting with other real people as well. Jabberwocky is when the thing regarding twins is officially explained.
>>14897764
Fair point. Since I was spoiled beforehands everything seems too clear to me.
>>14897760
>deal breaker
Exactly. I thought about buying Just Cause 3 but gave up on it the moment I saw that it uses that denuvo shit.
That being said, denuvo is definitely not uncrackable. Mad Max was cracked despite denuvo. The reason why other games who use it remain uncracked has something to do with the lack of talent in the cracker scene. Most games these days are protected by Steam API which is retardly easy to crack/emulate so lots of people grew bored and left. Maybe that Chinese cracker can do it out of pure spite for Akabei.
>>14894807
>Also which server will they use at denuvo? If I'm not wrong those games are using steam / origin servers, which is not a choice for eroges.
2dgal thread says they're using Buddy, same thing as last time except wrapped with Denuvo
>>14896388

What are you favourite types of girls What types if you see you'd be interested with in the eroge.
I like
goth/lolita
White hairs
outgoing girls
Kouhais
Imoutos
Deredere
Twintails
Not a big fan on air heads, short tempereds, dokan, and violent tsunderes
>>14898139
Also like thigh highs and loyal girls
>>14898139
>>14898150
Like Kana.
>>14898139
I like elder sister
>>14897932
Can't wait to see AKB's Shachou reaction when this get cracked, he mentioned that they went through a lot of trouble to make this deal. I would resign if this get cracked.
While traveling on a plane I had the urge to play some eroge, openeded up furebara.
Started and noticed glances around, the blonde girl in the game was talking and a little blonde girl got up behind me and was staring. I looked at the little girl behind me and smiled.
Only do I realize now how creepy I seemed.
A grown man playing an game with what looks like kids to the norm and smiling at a kid that looked like the character.
>>14898139
My taste is like you anon, but once I mention this here, they call me beta that can't handle girls with threat.
Are there any girls like karen in an eroge if so can you tell me?
>>14898361
"Never reveal your power level" isn't as memey as you think.
>>14897760
Why is it deal breaker? Just asking because I know nothing about denuvo except being really hard to crack.
>>14898139
I go in order of thickness
>>14898139
i like girls that make funny faces
>>14898455

Pretty much every VN has a flat or at least small chested girl except for nukige, so probably
>>14898139

strongly principled socially ignorant warrior/samurai
tsundere+flat
unrelenting sluts/cheaters
JK-esque bitches that say うわぁキモッ
used goods with hearts of gold
yandere
lonely OL/christmas cake
cool genius beauty
hime-cut
softspoken/graceful
ones that use わたくし
Seems a bit all over the place.
>>14898466
i-is this game any good? t-these faces
>>14898519
As every asa project game common route is pretty good with top tier comedy, but heroine routes just suck.
>>14898519
Decent fun, but pretty much this>>14898537
>>14898537
>>14898539
how long is common route vs individual heroine routes?
>>14898574
Common route is pretty average length, not short or not long while routes are kinda short, but not too much.
If you are interested in hitotsu tobashi ren'ai just go for Aori and Sakura routes, they are not too bad.
>>14898601
>routes are kinda short, but not too much.
might not be too bad then, i'll add it to the backlog
and i'll pass on hitotsu, just looked at other asa project games to see what you guys were talking about and their latest game looks like it kicks the ridiculousness up a notch compared to older ones at least
>>14898139
Dere donkan/idiot girls
Perverts
Tomboys with short hair and boyish speak patterns (too bad finding eroge with girls which use 俺 as their first person pronoun is almost impossible these days)
Flat chests and big tits because fuck it. I like both
Masochists
Explicitly stated no pubic hair/shaved pubes. Pubic hair is nasty no matter what hardcore weebs or Japs say.
I can tolerate many things, though. Except for poorly done tsundere and most ojou-sama. I also have a dislike for over the top hair accessories.
>>14898659
Last game's routes are definitely worst though. I'd recommend Ren'ai 0 kilometer or Hitotsu Tobashi Ren'ai since those two at least have 1-2 not bad / kinda good routes.
But Puramai's common route was funny as hell, I still remember a couple scenes from there, gotta give that much. Seems like they improved the common route while degrading the heroine routes.
Going back to Subahibi talk, finished both Insects branches. The happy one is beautiful, the necessary one is bitter. How Zakurowas the one that dragged the other two girls to suicide while screaming "Mon panache!".I liked it in the morbid kind of way. Oh and Ayana was great as always in both branches. Now onwards to Jabberwocky.
Also seeing the bad branch of Insects and both in Invention. I can't wonder how many unexperienced English VN readers will drop it there. Makes me smile imagining the reviews it might get from people that were fed hype for years. once it gets to their hands.
>>14898684
>But Puramai's common route was funny as hell
yea that's what i'm counting on, and i'd rather try ren'ai 0 kilometer over hitotsu for a few reasons but i'm already playing 4 games right now and have a backlog that is never gonna shrinki really shouldn't even be adding puramai to it
thanks though
>>14898693
Isn't it already translated?
>>14898683
Why do you not like hair accessories
>>14898506
Pretty much polar opposites, thats interesting how would feel about a 3P with an elegant and slut girl or does it not work for you.
I dont know about opposite interests nuch and if they work well
>>14898892
No, there's mostly complete patch leaked though, I think.
>>14898932
>Why do you not like hair accessories
It's okay if it's 1 small thing, but I don't like girls looking like Christmas trees.
>>14898789
Dont worry mate I also have 100+ games in my backlog, then there are 20-25 at laptop, and some at the wordpad which I didnt download yet.
>>14898693
Her VA was really not so great awesome.
I get that netorare is a fetish but I want to know is there an eroge that does it well rather than the whole
Growing interested to dick , blackmailed or slavery bad end?
Like the person being ntrd does sonething to get then back or at least fights or something actually interesting. Even if its a bad end I kinda would like something.
Like dies fighting trying to get them back as long as its not like cheap like they get blamed for shit go to jail and NTR continues.
>>14898139
Gothic lolita is done so much in otaku culture, I think other lolita styles have a lot more potential.
>>14898139
If listing the usual heroine archetypes then classic tsundere or variations of it like coodere are my favorite. I usually have trouble suspending my disbelief enough when all the girls are over the protagonist's dick from get-go, and tsundere personality types at least somewhat play out differently, especially if they harbor genuine dislike / hate for the protagonist and not the shitty version where their tsuntsun moments only exist to hide their embarrassment. Makes the relationship seem to have had at least some kind of development.

>>14899104
人間デブリ～コンナジブンニダレガシタ？～
supposedly does it interesting to the point where you can prevent the NTR as a true route i think
ボクの彼女はガテン系
has lots of endings, some bad endings looks like the guy getting NTR'd finds out and tries to beat them up right then and there i believe, in the normal endings he seems come to the conclusion that he likes being NTR'd and there's varying degrees of him being in control of it happening and it being totally out of his control
and that black cocks game from orcsoft has an ending where MC does netori and steals another guys wife instead along with different NTR endings
Any VN's that feature Korea and its issues with Japan? Basically I'm looking for Manga Kenkanryu the VN to get my Korean hate fix.
>>14899104
I don't think you actually enjoy the concept of NTR if you want the NTRee to fight back. The whole appeal of it is being turned on from being cucked.
Finished Fuuka's route in 罪ノ光ランデヴー.
I'm really satisfied with how everything played out. The catalyst for the climax/resolution of the main point of drama was pretty damn dumb, but they moved over it pretty quickly and it did its job fairly effectively I guess.
I'm conflicted as I sort of want to drop the game right now because of how satisfied I am with it and I don't want to spoil this feeling, but on the otherhand I do want to see how Ai and Tsubura's routes play out, especially the former.
>>14898693
I saw your post on reddit!
>>14899444
Tsubura was a mistake.
Honestly, I have so many things that I don't understand.Why would you give your house to a girl who ruined your family?What happened to Fuuka other family? She really ran away from her family just like that? If Tsubaki is her other family name, why her first name changed as well? To hide that she's MC sister? How can she obtain new identity easily as a 3rd year JK?Who spread the rumor about them being incest couple? Only 4 people should know that, Ai, Tsubu, Serika and the doctor. I don't think it's the doctor since he shouldn't know that they are a couple.Why no Serika route?
>>14898139
Kouhais, wife material, petite.
Also characters that wear berets I tend to pick first. There needs to be more characters wearing berets.
>>14898139
No matter how many times I read it, the transition from tsun/kuu to dere never gets old. I love these characters so much. So, my favourite character archetype is pretty much any classic tsun/kuudere.
This is actually kind of smart for second sales, but wouldnt the people who downloaded the games just buy this card, and play the games for 800 yen?
>>14899710
Regarding the third spoiler,Serika outright apologized to the protagonist for how things turned out so I think it was likely her.
>>14898455

I don't understand what he's saying. Spend 800yen with a LAC card to supply a store with a copy of the game from the distribution company? What am I missing? Wouldn't that be saying you can buy the game for just 800yen?
>>14899995
I'm wondering that as well. But maybe they'll just give limited LAC cards like 100-150 etc, and force people for buying unopened ones, something like "we are out of LAC cards, if you want to play please buy the game"?

Well, thanks anyway.
Any PC88 games I should play?
>>14899995
They could release these LAC cards like 2-3 months later, when it doesn't really matter anymore and any extra profit is welcome.
>>14900169
How is that any different from just straight up discounting the price to 800yen? I'm afraid I don't know much about the Japanese market.
Why is the ero in every non-nukige so boring and shit?
>>14900203
Depends on what you're reading. Plenty of non-nukige have great h-scenes. Hoshi Ori comes to mind.
>>14900184
Its different because it would let those who own game to get back their money.
Day 1 buyers buy game for 8000 Yen, play it, sell it as used good for 6000 Yen. That's how most of eroge fanatics manage to play 4-8 games per month. If they cannot sell their used goods, they will not buy it in the first place, they don't just print these monies.
So with LAC, day 1 buyer sells game + LAC as used good, he gets most of his money back, ABS2 gets 800 Yen for second-hand sale, new owner gets game at huge discount, everyone is happy.
>>14900208
>not a nukige
Good one anon
>>14900211
There's something I don't understand.
>So with LAC, day 1 buyer sells game + LAC as used good, he gets most of his money back
>new owner gets game at huge discount
With this, someone has to take the hit. And that would be the store owner. Why would a store owner buy a used game for 6,000 yen, and then sell it to someone via LAC for 800 yen? They lose 5,200 yen like that. Or will the game actually cost 6000 yen + 800 yen and it's not actually a huge discount
>>14900226
>>14900211
Also, how does LAC remove Denuvo? I don't understand that either.
>>14900238>>14900226
LAC is just new code, it doesn't remove anything.
Original code on box is sticked to day 1 buyer, LAC can be used for activation by second buyer.
>With this, someone has to take the hit. And that would be the store owner
LAC is NOT the game. Its something you need TOGETHER with game.
>>14900253
OK, I finally understand, thank you. I looked up LAC cards but didn't understand their purpose, but now I see what you mean. So in conclusion, the second-hand buyer will not get a huge discount, they will have to spend an extra 800 yen for a LAC code.

It's especially haunting when you check Subahibi Visual Fanbook and read that Sca-ji wrote it to be realistic and heard of similar cases.

I hope so
Finished reading axanael, any suggestions for something around the same difficulty? Preferably not a moege
>>14900934
Post a screenshot representative of its difficulty.
>>14901079
Already uninstalled it but if I had to guess maybe N4, N3.5 level? vndb has some screens https://vndb.org/v3971
>>14901114
Hmm, perhaps try a different Shimokura game? Chances are the writer doesn't drastically change the difficulty of his text between games.
>>14901114
That must have taken you fucking ages then
>>14901133
yup pretty much
>>14901114
I don't think you know very much about the JLPT.
>>14901148
Not him, but what level does it seem like? To me it just seems like "easy" now.
>>14901119
good suggestion but i'm still holding out hope for sumaga from jast and the others look super chuuni

> eroge releases
> several all-age VNs previewed
>>14901207
First time I've looked through those lists and seeing nothing I'm interested in
>>14901238
Really? The list doesn't include nukige, but that aside, I'd say March is a pretty diverse month. What are your preferences?
>>14901251
There are a couple of things I would normally be interested in there but either the company who makes it or the art style is a turn off.
>>14901207
My list
時を紡ぐ約束
少女たちは荒野を目指す
>>14901295
>時を紡ぐ約束
Looks pretty meh to be honest. Not even written by the same guy as previous Applique.
>>14900061
Cosmic Psycho, De-Ja.
Ruitomo confirmed for a bait'n'switch Japanese comic book.
>>14901207
The Dies Irae spin off is a must-read for sure.
Everything else I will just wait for opinions before checking out.
>>14901160
Easy games are N2, hard games are N1+. N1 isn't hard tho, so there's stuff that's a lot harder. However, it's not prohibitively so, just a matter of how much time it takes you to read.
>>14901395
I see, and can you name some examples what you consider to be hard games?
>>14901404
Dark Souls
I wanna be the guy
Super Meat Boy
Spelunky
>>14901419
Dark souls isnt hard
>>14901424
It doesn't count if you use a text hooker anon
>>14901424
Perhaps it is nowadays when everyone has an attention disorder caused by prolonged use of the Internet.
>>14901404
アストラエアの白き永遠 is probably the hardest eroge I've played to completion, due to its length and how difficult it is to stay awake while reading it.
>>14901404
School Days is really hard.
To get some of the scenes you have to basically pick each choice perfectly balanced to keep the right ratio between the two girls' meter.
It took me forever to 100% it.
>>14901207
Christ, the shit taste of both of these faggots.
>>14901452
At least they have good enough taste to not be fellating the DI game
>>14901452
The quintessential moefag and the guy who shits on anything and everything.
>>14901456
But that's guaranteed kamige

You seem to be reading some different review.
>>14901458
I during random googling I found a "Subahibi primer" on /r/visualnovels and the OP there was using "kamige" as a completely serious term.
>Subahibi is probably the best of kamiges
>English readers so far only had access to Muv-Luv Alternative which is considered to be the weakest of kamiges
and others to that effect. Have memes gone too far?
>>14901507
Do you ever read japanese sites? 神ゲー is used a fuckton
>>14901507
>Muv-Luv Alternative which is considered to be the weakest of kamiges
>Subahibi is probably the best of kamiges
what the fuck? How good Muramasa in terms of "Kamige" according to this guy?
>>14901540
We all know muramasa is top tear kamige
>>14901543
best game ever made
>>14901530
Tongue-in-cheek for simply "really good game", not some object of reverence decided by Moogs and gang like on Reddit.
>>14901563
Can you stop being so fucking butthurt? Holy shit
>>14901563
Even Moogy makes fun of that term and the way people use it in the West.
>>14901566
I'm not butthurt, I find the thing funny.
Of course you can't tell from text, so you're just assuming. Why assume everyone is always butthurt? Possibly because you are?
>>14901577
Nah you butthurt nigga.
>>14901576
Doesn't stop "unwashed EOP masses" to take it all seriously. That's the funny thing I find funny about it.
>>14901582
I think he's butthurt
>>14901593
For real
>>14901577
The simple fact that you have to bring moogy and reddit out show how butthurt you are
>>14901597
:-(
Sorry, I found the thing funny, but you all didn't.

>>14901303
I played the trial, it was OK. It's kinda rare to have an orphan MC that can use magic and have an adoptive daughter, above all that it has an inn setting. Also the ost is pretty good and the drama can have an emotional impact like the final secne in the trial.

>>14901987
I hate all gakuenmono without discrimination.
>>14902015
How/why are you still here?
>>14902040
Because I keep gnawing at cactus while shredding tears. Plus nukige. Plus gameplay stuff and story stuff which still comes out occasionally.
>>14901987
Yeah but it's not changing any time soon so I just accept it.
My being fed up with school setting is due to having played so many of them producers are probably targeting a different demographic altogether. I'm happy with niche games.
Would you fuck this boy?
