Why was this so popular? It seems kinda run of the mill soap opera love triangle, plus some fetish stuff.
>>15115800
Everyone loves NTR.
>>15115823
You mean, if you self-insert as the girl?
>>15115823
Nobody loves NTR
>>15115944
I do.

Hey what happened to that Trianthology novel by Ruykishi, Romeo and one other? Wasn't it going to be released soon?

This game has ntr? Please spoil me, i might be interested trying it.
>>15116089
Read the premise and consider how the story can unfold.
why are old vns so fucking boring?
Is 猫撫ディストーション Exodus the best VN ever written?
>>15116139
I see this mentioned a lot by that japanese guy that made English twitter account recently. Can someone confirm if this actually good? I hate incest stuff so I avoided it.
>>15116257
Its retarded shit with boring and bloated writing, terrible pace and worst possible endings.
>>15116257
It's not good
I saw that guy too but he has read like 50 VNs, don't take his opinion too seriously
>>15115996
Man, Muv Luv was so bad...
Heh
>>15116125
From the older games I've played they seem to be paced better so I enjoy them more. However there are also some games where no detail is put into describing anything, so I guess it can be a double-edged sword.
>>15114354
I thought it was pretty obvious that Thomas is actually a Japanese pretending to be a foreigner.
>>15115800
Dunno, this shit also get high rating on egs. I seriously wonder why.
>>15117367
Because Japan actually has taste unlike faggot Americans.
>>15116139
Probably not for you, but it's also not bad as some people make it to be just because they can only see it as some Subahibi deteriorate version, and its crypticism only as a tool to camouflage "bad writing". Funny thing when you get to know Motonaga was already doing the same thing six months before Tsui no Sora was even released, and the way they mention things like Wittgenstein are completely different since then.
Actually I really don't even know by what basis someone would call Nekonade bad (or good for that matter), because, well, for better or worse the game is just excellent at its main point of not showing the reader what the main point is.
I do prefer Exodus over the main game though, but that's simply because spotting a hidden Jakobson reference there made me happy.
>>15117420
It's bad because it's boring, padded, basically not an entertaining read
Being "first" or not literally doesn't matter
>>15117552
>Being "first" or not literally doesn't matter
I dunno dude it's pretty significant.
>>15117420
>Motonaga was already doing the same thing six months before Tsui no Sora was even released
What are you refering to?
>>15117588
It's not significant in a media as young as eroge, 6 months is nothing
I'm not dissing Motonaga but having a good idea and making a good game are 2 completely different things
>>15117552
I guess there's little point discussing if our points are both just "your crit theory is inferior and mine is superior" then?
>>15117605
嬌烙の館. Although I didn't play it and only knew it by searching japanese blogs for the author when I finished Sense Off some years ago. http://katakata715.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-31.html

Seems pretty average from EGS 75, and consensus that this is "completely unusable" lol
>>15117552
>Being "first" or not literally doesn't matter
Actually, trying to explain myself better, that was exactly what I was saying. I was not making a point of "Sca-ji is a Motonaga rip-off", for god's sake.
Should I pull the trigger on this?

Seems like the art quality went down a little when you compare Nanairo and Akeiro side by side, especially in the characters. Fuyou...
But still fun to compare how some art assets were reused.
>>15118399
I thought the exact same thing. Also,>tfw kotori is gone
>>15118412I don't really mind because I didn't really like her route that much, or her as a character. Kana is much more fun.
>>15118446
Kana is definitely fun, she's a shining example of a good heroine in my opinion. Not scrubbed of any personality to be suitably "pure", not afraid to make jokes, and so on and so on. I mean, she's not breaking any crazy ground or anything, I just found her to be an engaging character by her own right, and not just because she's a hot virgin.
Any VNs well-written like this?
>音楽のような、甘酸っぱい林檎のような声。…ローラ。大人になりきっていない女の子。太古からの果実をむさぼり、果汁を口に含んだまま歌う…彼女の動作のひとつひとつが、ほんのわずかな動きが、野獣と美女の間の、抑圧されて爆発寸前の野獣と、純白の綿のワンピースをまとった、体にくぼみのある美しい少女の間の、秘められた触れ合いを隠蔽し、秘めごとをさらにいっそう謎めいたものにしてくれる。

Am I the only one really weirded out by Maitetsu's bookmark system? It's like they managed to make saving and loading intuitive.
>>15118643
>It's like they managed to make saving and loading intuitive.
When isn't it intuitive?
>>15118652
Mainly when I wish to preform my usual practice of overwriting a save.
>>15118670
And that's still intuitive because even a retard can do it.
>>15118643
It is, it's a mess. The tried to fix it with tags in the update, you might want to install the patch.
>>15119015
Was that like a day one update? I have tags but I downloaded the game near release day
>>15119025
Yeah it was released on day one. I forgot to apply it and read it through without it. Hell.
God damn it /jp/, I guess I'll have to REALLY buy a headphone
I'm tired of having my whole family and neighbors hearing these loud moans from my 2d girls fake orgasms srsly
>>15120672
It's not like you haven't been warned before. Don't be so cheap, you don't need Grado cans for eroge.
SeaBed confirmed masterpiece.
>>15120721
It was already confirmed when hadler liked it
>>15121099
Fair enough, but now it's golden.
>>15120721
C-can someone upload it now
>>15121122
Its fucking 600 yen.
>>15121122
It's just 648 yen.
>>15121122
C'mon dude it's 650 yen
>>15121122
I'm one of those scumbags that's never bought a VN before and even I'm going to buy it (and Himawari)
>>15121130
>>15121131
>>15121142
Something being cheap doesn't automatically make it worth buying.
>>15121158
You can always play the trial and see how it is.
At the moment, I'm playing Lovely x Cation 2.
I like the girls, the art is really nice, and the
game play is good, as well. Story is not too
interesting, though.
Once I'm done with this I want to get
凍京ネクロ(Tokyo Necro). It looks cool, and is by NitroPlus.
>>15121142
>>15121131
>>15121130
Not that anon but why this insistence on the price? The vast majority of people who pirate games are the all or nothing type. It could be 5 yen and they'd still not get it. Mentioning the price is quite irrelevant in this case.
>>15121659
I think the main thing is that because normal commercial games are anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 yen (generally trending towards the latter for big names), 648 appears extremely low and therefore avoiding paying it less moral.
Can anyone who's finished maitetsu say how many parts there are in the common route? I'm already at 08 which seems pretty speedy if there's only 20 some parts. So I'm thinking it's more in the 50, 70 range. Is that correct?
>>15120721
Why does a 2016 VN have a 4:3 resolution? Is this a treasured tradition among doujin devs or something?
>>15121751
From my experience with other pirates, most don't really give a fuck about morals or supporting the author and such. They only care about getting games for free, so for them the price is just an irrelevant information.
Either way I bought the game, I might upload it if no one else does in the time it takes me to finish it.
>>15121763
Well, in this thread in particular, there's a common idea - wanting to support the industry, but being completely unfucking willing to pay close to $100 for fucking vns. That's totally reasonable, everyone agrees. Except some butthurt Japanese dudes, this thread is more or less in complete unity that Japanese eroge prices are fucking way too high, and the only way to manage it is to only buy games from favourite companies and leave it at that, which "forces" fans of VNs into piracy. So, despite being a thread of pirates, the cultural attitude towards piracy is that of "this situation is the result not of greed, but of VNs being too damn expensive". However, when the price drops to as low as 648 yen, that argument can no longer hold up, and thus you have people criticizing the guy.
>>15121763
Pretty much agreed with >>15121788 but
>I might upload it
Please don't. I'm sure if you uploaded it it'd hurt their sales, even if they're not making many sales in the first place.
>>15121788
It's two things for me (and a lot of people here, I think). Not thinking most eroge are worth more than $20-$30 is definitely a big one, but it's also that I don't want to keep a bunch of eroge boxes in my room for people to see, and for people in some countries they couldn't even import. Although of course that doesn't apply if they have a dl version and actually accept gaijin orders
>>15121158
oh god moogydrone buyfags rekt in a single sentence
>>15121946
Not really, a moogydrone would consider it worth buying so the sentence wouldn't affect them
>>15121756
It's roughly a 15-16 parts each route, that includes common. Subroutes are like 3-5 parts.
>>15121957
Ehh? So the common route is 15-16 parts? That seems wild. I guess I over estimated it because of how many side characters there are. Halfway through the common route, and only seen a fifth of'm. Or maybe the later parts are way longer, these first 8 have been pretty brief. Thanks for replying anon, I couldn't find a damn thing on google or through ctrl fing bbspink.
>>15121751
They got like 20 sales since the game got hyped in the west and they were happy for that, if you were to upload it it's possible they would lose sales
There is no reason to upload it when it's so readily available and cheap, DLsite is accessible everywhere
>>15121131
does dlsite take paypal?
>>15121760
has to do with 4:3 displays still in use by the japan userbase
>>15122247
I read something recently that stated that laptops were far more common than desktops. That was mainly to do with VNs not having 1080p though, not widescreen in general
>>15122227
I don't think so, but I could purchase Himawari with my Visa Electron debit card, followed by logging into my bank account and confirming the purchase. Just remember to register and log in to the site first, because if you don't you'll get a generic "card not accepted" error without any sort of explanation, which is probably a foreigner card block that gets lifted once you log in.
>>15121813
You are forgetting that not everyone can actually buy it, even if they wanted to. DLSite JP only accepts credit cards. If you normally use Paypal, you can't buy it. (Last time I checked it's not on the English DLSite)
So if he uploads it after he is finished, people who got interested in it through recent reviews bought it already anyway, I'd say. Well, I dunno how much he'll read so maybe I'm wrong there. Not like it's that long. (400k Moji or something as far as I remember?)
>>15121973
Where do you actually see the part you are in? Pretty sure you mean the "scenes" where you can see your progress at the bottom with some bar. But I doubt you actually count how many you clear?
>>15122341
>Where do you actually see the part you are in?
The bookmarks I believe. I did mean the "scenes" you refer to but I didn't call'm scenes because the scene actually changes within the part if that makes sense.
>>15122341
>If you normally use Paypal, you can't buy it.
I haven't tried it but I remember someone mentioning that you can buy credits on the all-ages version of the site with Paypal and then use those credits on the 18+ version of the site. If that works, then them not accepting Paypal on the 18+ version of the site isn't really a good excuse either.
>>15122341
To add onto >>15122352 they seem to have been fairly receptive to the western fans liking it so far / have had back and forths with a few western fans, so I wouldn't be surprised if they'd offer another way to buy it outside of DLSite if you asked them so long as there's nothing stopping them from selling somewhere other than DLSite. I imagine uploading it would just sour their view of western fans, and I wouldn't want that.
>>15122352
As I said, it's not on the English DLsite. Paypal is only accepted there. (And Seabed is all ages anyway, so there'd be no need to do the credits thing)
>>15122350
Ah, uh okay. I never looked at these, because quite frankly? What the hell did they do with the save-system... don't fix what's not broken. Luckily it simply auto-saves so I didn't need to bother with it. Just made a bookmark and yeah, you can see it there all-right. (guess I got to part 7 before I ended up playing other things, gives me nice sense of "how long will this go" though once I'll continue)
>>15122359
>I imagine uploading it would just sour their view of western fans, and I wouldn't want that.
I mean, everything with interest gets uploaded, so if they got soured by it I honestly would just consider them heretofore ignorant. Plus, I mean, people pirate in Japan too, so it's not like a single westerner uploading something is reflective of Western fans in general, or of Eastern fans by contrast of them not having yet uploaded it.
>>15122370
Either way, if it's really a matter of wanting to buy it but having no way to do so, then it's worth a shot at least trying to get into contact with them on twitter https://twitter.com/seabed_cm or something and asking them about it / asking for another way to buy it that works with Paypal or whatever method they're trying that isn't working.
>>15122370
It barely has 100 sales, these sort of games with low sales don't get uploaded
You have ways to get it, just do it if you are interested
>>15122439
If I wanted to read it I'd buy it, I was just explaining that it getting uploaded would just be a matter of course
>>15122377
For now I sent an e-mail to DLSite for a "product request". I don't have much hope, but who knows. Might help. In the end I'm not going through all kinds of shit to get my hands on a doujin-game I may end up not even liking. (So like I'm not getting a twitter account for this, or a credit-card or whatever)
I suppose there is a trial, but before I'd try that I'd like to know if I can purchase it or not. Comes all down to me not really being part of who they'd normally want to sell this to I suppose. But eh. It's a doujin circle, so this is to be expected. For now I'll wait a while.
>>15122477
Don't you have a regular debit card? I don't know what sort of services your bank provides but here every bank allows you to create virtual cards that work just like a credit card which you can use in these situations. That's the way I do all my online purchases, as I don't have a credit card either.
>>15122493
Well that stuff "exists" but costs money. I'm in Germany, and credit cards are simply not a thing here. You.. don't need one, at all. There are plenty of other ways to pay. Like if I want one of those "prepaid" creditcards, I gotta pay 40 Euro every year. Why would I do that if paypal is free? Just as an example.
I've looked into this at some point already, but ended up deciding that paypal is the best to stay with, even with not all shops accepting it and so on. Well, not like a credit-card is accepted everywhere either.
>>15122705
You can't pay 40 euro a year?
>>15122705
Dude, I'm in Poland with a stable income of maybe 500 euros per month and I got my debit card upgraded to credit for free. (I then used it to successfully buy some eroge from DLsite)
Reconsider your banking options.
>>15122352
Can anyone confirm that this works?
lol look at all these working well adjusted people in my /jp/
>>15122849
It feels like I'm not in /jp/ at all and I don't like it.
>>15122705
>I'm in Germany
My condolences.
>>15123205
I wonder how a German reading Dies Irae would feel
>>15123228
Perhaps the same you would feel reading this.
So about 8 months ago I posted about doing a Dies Irae quote on my personal statement when applying to my universities.
I was told it was a very bad idea, but I did it anyway.
I got in everywhere I applied.
kudos to my erogebr0s and thank you based light
>>15123318
What quote?
>>15123228
You don't even have to go there. You know G-senjou no Maou? The main-girl there was a long time in Germany, and the VN has a little bit about her life there. Unfortunately I've read it like ages ago, so I don't remember what was specifically said, but damn.
That said I'm pretty sure VNs get "Engrish" and US/UK things wrong or refer that way more often. Girl on the left here is also a "half" who supposedly knows English very well. (Man I somehow love Hapymaher more than I should I feel, but all the characters just.. click with me)
>>15123324
To be completely legit, the personal statement had a theme of perseverance, so I actually paraphrased :百度繰り返しても勝てぬのならば、千度繰り返し戦えばよい。
千度繰り返しても勝てぬのならば、万度繰り返し戦えばよい。
Straight up quoting this would be too insane tbqh famiglia, still though, I think that was one of the parts that grabbed the reader in my essay so I have to thank light for that bit.
>>15123371
That's pretty cringeworthy but okay.
>>15123434
No it's not

Gotta make ends meet when your parents die and Uncle Sam says you're not autistic enough for NEETbux somehow.
>>15123371
>I'll try 100 and if I fail I'll try 1000!
I am physically disgusted by these kinds of people.
>>15123612
Disgusted by people who don't give up? Are you sure you should look upon that with scorn rather than envy?
>>15123630
It's probably just envy but I perceive it as contempt and disgust.
>>15123330
>The main-girl there was a long time in Germany, and the VN has a little bit about her life there.
She talks bullshit though.
>>15123371
>千度繰り返しても勝てぬのならば、万度繰り返し戦えばよい。
Well, did you? Throwing around pretty words is one thing, execution is another matter entirely.
>>15123658
That is sound advice even if you don't follow it, you know. If you try and try again, you will succeed, no matter what (within the realms of reason, not like "i want to go faster than the speed of light"). Even if he gives up, it's still true that if he hadn't he would have succeeded.
>>15123371
Typical Masada fan, no sense of self awareness at all.
>>15123762
>i want to go faster than the speed of light
Wrong thinking. 5 dimensional travel is the solution.
Literally never give up. You might become a kamisama one day.
>>15123986
I just wanted a generic example of an unrealistic task. For the majority of things that relates to one's life, one can succeed if they simply don't give up.
>>15123985
Self-awareness and self-restraint is one of the big reasons people never take risks and never go anyway beyond their own bubble, which is why many of the replies posted doesn't really surprise me.
You can use any source of inspiration. How you do it is the key to it all.
In sum: Risk taken. Mission accomplished. I'm in. Nothing else matters past that point.
>>15124019
In my experience, /jp/ users tend to be very self restrained, as in, those kids who would be on the corner of the class because they're scared of being embarrassed.
I personally can't really handle attention at all.
Time sure is slow near an event horizon.
Any mentionable moege come out last month and anything to look out for this month?
>>15124724
Last month was very unremarkable. I suppose ワガママハイスペック might be interesting if you're just restricting it to moege
>>15124724
Omokage and Maitetsu have been the moege talk of the town
I honestly don't remember anyone mentioning any other game
>>15124739
Are you referring to month being unremarkable for moege or in general? If the latter, I'm glad I don't have taste as shitty as yours (assuming you did mean in general)
>>15124745
In regards to moege, last month had a couple of titles worth reading but not enough to last more than a week. Thankfully there's more on offer this month
>>15124760
Yeah, i was just unsure as to whether he meant moege or not
Also, finishing maitetsu/akeiro/interview all in one week sounds like a crazy time. Throw in Kouya and Jeanne, well you've got mood whiplash quite severe. That said, I haven't seen a single post about the Jeanne game here. Maybe i missed it.
>>15124774
As I said I meant Moege, I'll make it more apparent in the future.
>Throw in Kouya and Jeanne
I passed on those because "Takahiro" and the memories(Suffering)of 果つることなき未来ヨリ are still fresh in my head

I remember this. The poor and rich thing is relatively common (ensemble anyone) but for a moege this one got pretty real, is there anything else like it?
>>15125096
I wish ensemble would stop using super generic designs for the girls in their releases, the stories tend to be crap but I can put up with that as long as the girls are attractive.
>>15125123
If you like neither the art nor the story just play games by a different company. That's a lot more likely to leave you pleased than hoping that company becomes half tolerable.
There's no shortage of games with attractive art but shit story.
>>15125123
Honestly it looks like they stopped trying after Ojounana, feels very mass produced, just like GIGA.
>>15125215
I am playing games from another company, I just wish they'd release games on the same quality as DamaMuko and Ojounana again.
>>15125222
GIGA is just depressing, They always get 1 aspect right (eg. Art/VA/Story) but fuck up everything else.
>>15124774
>That said, I haven't seen a single post about the Jeanne game here. Maybe i missed it.
I played some of the trial but it didn't really grab me. It's pretty much just an 異世界 LN. Nice soundtrack, though.

I wish more games let you choose the hair styles of the girls
>>15125253

戦国†恋姫Ｘ, I'm waiting it for 2-3 years already. There are a couple more I'll play, but all of them comes later.
>>15126161Not sure how I should feel about me actually knowing what you are referring to.
Not sure about a loli-imouto-ge. Especially one of them looks insanely.. young.
>>15126132
Unfortunately I don't think that kind of gameplay is for me. Seems like "grand strategy" of sorts.
>>15126170
Somehow I can't figure out what that one's supposed to be about. (as in romance? plot? comedy?) Maybe I'll give it a try at some point. I've stumbled about this a few times, but with this enhanced version coming out, I never bothered looking further into it.
>>15126207
>Especially one of them looks insanely.. young.
Surely this is a plus to some people.

She's the best girl! I already kissed her more than 60 times in the app.

I'm looking forward to this so much that I'm not going even going to play it even if does end up getting cracked.
>>15126461
They really couldn't have picked a more generic artist
>>15126461
Is that series actually good? Thought about trying one title of that series, but I'm not sure. Don't quite understand your sentence either.
>>15126538
Lovely x Cation = Good
Lovely x Cation 2 = Must Play
Pretty x Cation = Meh
Pretty x Cation 2 = Good
>>15124405
I think they're going for an autumn release.
>>15126546
Purely x Cation = Denuvo
>>15126461
>>15126550
The Art style is such a downgrade from the others
Speaking of the Cation games, did anybody end up uploading the 4th birthday for PC2?
>>15126207
>Somehow I can't figure out what that one's supposed to be about
Well think it as a "lord of the rings eroge version". There are bloody onis who eat humans and turn some of them into onis, occupy castles and become some kind of army with stronger oni commanders. Mc tries to make alliances as much as possible since they have lost one time against them and onis grew even stronger since then, took a couple castles etc.
The game goes in this line, and in the middle of events mc & heroines fall in love with each other. Its something between heavy plotge and moege, with some historical elements.
>>15126550
Oh right, that's a thing now, huh. Will be interesting to see if it'll actually be cracked. And if people can even legally play it. Wouldn't be the first case of DRM which is implemented so badly that the game won't even work on most machines..
>>15126559
I personally don't mind it, as much as I like the two artists of the "pretty" ones. I don't really like the artist of the "lovely" ones though, can't even say why. Something about the faces.. the lips. Or something.
>>15126461
The art might be a massive downgrade but If it gets cracked I'll still play it for the teacher heroine and the heroine voiced by 御苑生 メイ
>>15126108
Fucking ISLAND. I didn't read anything since the start of this year. I hope it's deliver.
kiss me, onii-chan.
>>15124405
the voices are all apparently already recorded.
Wonder what else there is to do before you can release the game.
I mean the production can't take that long.
>>15127216
Uh, let's just hope they don't change the script, but in the end can't change voiced lines and it becomes some weird crap I don't even wanna think about.
>>15118621
I'm hype for the PC Version as I don't have a console.
Just finished Maitetsu's common route and am making some headway into a character route. Gotta admit, I'm not getting into it at all. I saw on 2ch that almost every considered the common route their favourite and I can get a feeling why... honestly that was a pretty satisfying conclusion on it's own. Anyone else feel the same? Just lose interest in Maitetsu after the common route?
>>15127304
Yeah I did too
I like the overall mood of the game but I don't really care about doing the routes right now
>>15127343
It feels very Japanese somehow. But holy moly, every single character is boring. I mean, certainly attractive, but everyone is polite and normal. Nobody really says interesting things (though Sousetsu gives a speech at every opportunity), it's like instead of interesting characters all the "interest" comes from trains, and in the meantime you deito lolis because after all it's Lose.
>>15126153
>the concept of earning more money as one improves themselves and does more significant work
There's nothing wrong with that concept in itself, the problem is that it never happens
>>15127618
That's pretty much why I didn't like it.
>>15127304
I lost interest before the common route ended because I just couldn't deal with the infodump anymore. If they stop with that shit in the character routes I might pick it back up again.
>>15127618
Funny how I just got a quote of another VN somewhat related.
>世の中どうでも良いって言ってる人に限って真面目に見てたりするんだ。ただ、心が広いかどうかは別の話
>融通効かないから絶望しちゃって、融通が効き過ぎてもどうでも良くなっちゃって。すごいよね、結局たどり着くとこ一緒なんだからって
Well, money and its problems.
Anyone get the Giniro Haruka trial to work?
>>15128647
Grab NoRegionLoader.exe from AnimeSharing or Google.
Should be able to get around it with that.
>>15128647
Did you set system locale?
Absolutely nobody here is interested in playing Eve Burst R it seems.
If platform is a problem, don't worry, it's pirateable
I'll probably get to it after finishing the last two routes in baldr force
>>15128702
Well, Vita isn't piratable.
That said, I'm anticipating it now that you mention it. Though! I really, really like PC-98 music. It will be a shame to not hear it.
>>15128702
Isn't it more like anyone interested in eve already played the 2003 remake? What's so great about this R version
>>15128662
Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck.
>>15128674
Yep and a locale emulator.
>>15128702
Because
>Island
>Sen no Hatou trial
>Baldr Heart trial
are all coming out the same time.
>>15128882
This is a longshot but baybe try the standard AlphaRom cracker?
I believe it if you select the setting for RealLive/SiglusEngine it disables that since it's standard for all games for VisualArt's brands.
>>15129021
>Island
People care about all-ages shit?
>>15129411
Not me, I hate that fluffy hair loli.
>>15128702
I thought it was coming out for the PC too.
Cute.
So I told my imaginary friend to kill a bunch of people and she did it the absolute mad lady
>>15129706
Serika did nothing wrong.
>>15126153
Is it as H-heavy as their previous nukige?
A-5 is out for the remaining Majikoi fans, no crack yet obviously
>>15130028
>2D.G.F. didn't even have time to buy thier own copy before it was leaked
Hilarious.
Finished hanachirasu, I liked it, I was pretty unskilled in japanese when I started and could do a few lines or words at a time, by the time I was finished I had read a bunch of other VNs and could read Hanachirasu at a decent pace like normal text in english but a bit slower I guess, still had some trouble during info dumps but got by.
The loli was pretty creepy, I don't like her, the music and tone was cool it felt pretty 90's not the kinda I like but ending doing so, but during some certain 'cool/surprising parts' the music turned wacky? It kinda too me out of it.
The VN was short and well some parts worked well. It felt like you were watching the ending to a long part series but had exposition, unlike Dra-koi which felt like if the story was long it wouldn't really work as well.
Something confused me however,why did Akane drop the key card so Igarusu could kill his boss and co, there was no need too, also why did he commit sudoku?
>>15124921
>/a/版
Didn't know it was literlerly that
>>15126559
It was shit anyway, but looks better than the previous though imo
>>15128882
Use it on the siglusengine.exe not the launcher....
Why no hype for Dal Segno?
Do you not like cute girls?
>>15130726
Its just another moege #2349513045792386459, I have over 200 of these in my backlog, gathering dust in darkest corners of my HDD.
>>15130726
Da Crapo by any other name would smell as putrid.
>>15130063
He can't save the industry every time. I bet the arrogant cracker will make it even worse!
>>15130731
To have this many moege, 5.5 of them would have been produced every second since the dawn of time. About 14 million per second if they started being produced 5000 years ago with the first written texts ever found.
>>15130749
So that's why my backlog is that big! Crazy nips.
>>15130726
If I play a moege, it's probably that or Wizards Complex if I don't forget something. But I too have too many on my backlog as well, so I think I won't be playing these as they don't really look too interesting. (as in, I have moege with cuter girls and "better settings" on my backlog)
Well, maybe if I hear something good. Though Lilycle Rainbow Stage also comes out and I'll probably have an overdose of sugar from that already.
>>15115708
nah
>>15130749
Moege are eternal. In the End, after the last star winks out and space finally grows cold and dark, still the warmth of moe will remain.
>>15129765

>>15130266
> I was pretty unskilled in japanese when I started
Stopped reading there
>>15130726
I can't say I'm hyped but I'll play it.
>>15130875
Why?
>>15130773
What "nah"?
>>15130896
Looks like same old DC.
So I won't go in expecting anything, just want to witness Circus's new legacy.
>>15130896
Not >>15130875 but I'm same as well. It doesn't seems interesting enough to hype but I'll give a try just for the cute girls after I have tried everything I'm interested in this month.
>>15130955
What makes their VNs even so popular? I never bothered with any of their titles, as they seem so.. generic. And unlike for example Yuzusoft they don't even seem like very "polished" moege or anything. It just seems like your average stuff you get from several other devs as well. Okay art, okay production values.. am I overlooking something?
>>15130726
None of the heroine designs combined with their VAs appeal to me whatsoever.
>>15130965
Nostalgia, probably. A lot of people got their first taste of pure love games with Da Capo.
Any recommentaditions on what vn do I grab next if I want to read something with character similar to Kirara from Yumina? /hundred years old, wise with wicked tongue that kind of character.
>>15131675
There are plenty of characters that're intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor. Nanairo's Iyo comes to mind.
We should post more images. It's an imageboard after all.
>>15131675
So like loli sadist? I'm currently reading something like that, which has that.. kind of. You won't have the "100 years old" thingy though.
If you like "strong" girls it's probably generally for you. Name in screenshot/gamewindow. Girl as well, just.. flipped. Don't ask. Shit's slightly on drugs at times. I quite like what I've seen so far.
Other than that, if you are into yuri, the true heroine of Seisai no Resonance is most certainly "wise", and she has a sharp tongue.. though not so much towards the protagonist after a while. Not really a sadist either.
The true route was really well done, including an.. interesting first ending you get when you finish it the first time.
Can't really give much better stuff here, as I dropped Yumina, so I only know said girl from like the first 2 or 3 chapters. It's also been a while.
>>15131713
>>15131716
>more images
And there I go even forgetting mine. Here it is.
>>15131713
Taking screenshots is too much effort for me nowadays though.
>>15131754
Sharex bro
Just press alt prt screen, or change it to prt screen, and it automatically makes a screenshot and saves to a directory.
>>15131754
Use ShareX, it's just one keypress.
Dies Irae is like a theatrical performance. Instead of thought-out and exciting battles, Masada just takes a massive, but majestic dump of details. Am I the only one thinking this?
>>15131762
That's still too much effort, as it means turning off auto mode and fumbling around to find my keyboard.
>>15131898
Do you know what else require effort?
Living
>>15131898
I have underestimated the extent of your sloth
>>15131898
You could set a bluetooth command on your cellphone/controller/etc. or even a voice trigger with a mic. I'm lazy, but a practical lazy since I only work to be more lazy later on.
>>15131898
How about using a program that automatically takes screens ever minute? Maybe something good will come out of that! It's twice the fun. After reading a VN, you can do a slideshow of all the screens! Nice, cozy, suited for the maximum of lazyness possible.
>>15131696
I have already read it and yeah she was the main dish, didn't like the end of her route with all "I can't get pregnant and you don't have anyone else so you might as well be with me till the end of your days but that's it" I was hoping for something deeper than that in terms of their relationship.
>>15131716
>So like loli sadist?
More like mature character with personality and bits of cynical attitude while the later is optional and of course all of that is within loli body.
>if you are into yuri
No I'm not into yuri at all and there will be no such a thing on my watch that I can say for sure.
>it's probably generally for you
I was kind of thinking about playing it but people say it's too dope and the plot has too many "lies". I'm talking about "No she's not your real sister and your sister is dead but wait there is that plot twist and here and here aaaand then they sort of fucked up the whole thing. Oh and one more thing is it true that the plot itself is rip off of some movie?
>>15131675
Kanogi.
>>15131982
Next time spoiler your route conclusions.
>>15131837
He's seems strongly influenced by Wagner.
>>15132051
That would explain the nazis
>>15131982
Can't tell you if the plots holds up. So far I've not seen any lies. The subject itself however can easily lead to confusion. It also doesn't help that the writing is, as such, not typical moege tier.
That said, the VN is a lot about atmosphere, which I feel gets shown pretty fast. So maybe give it a spin and if you don't like it after an hour or so, just drop it. Personally I wouldn't even be bothered too much if the story suffers a bit, as I quite like the whole cast. Plus the last VN I finished was Satsukoi. And that's on of those VNs that casually drops a bomb in some subordinate clause at the end of the true route, that retroactive makes the whole plot dumb and essentially fucks everything up. As fun as the main-heroine was (pic related), the plot.. THE PLOT.
As for no yuri, well if you don't like the genre that's fine. Though I also don't really like most yuri VNs.. which is a bit sad given that I do quite like the genre. Oh well.
>>15132062
Everything except that mermaid thing was just great. I mean, it's a mermaid, right? Shouldn't they have, like, gills instead of, you know, Wolverine's claws?
>>15132085
That's just prejudice! (The VN says that, so that part is deliberately done)
That said, I actually agree. The whole plot around the mermaid stuff was dumb. I liked the sub-plot of the "father" and the overall romance with Nao (?) was also fine. Still, why the author even killed the theme is beyond me. You know the whole "would you die for your loved one?". Becomes pretty absurd, once it's revealed thatmale mermaids die around the time they'd get eaten by the females anyway. So all the "I'm not going to eat my brother!!" and everything becomes absurd, because death is certain anyway. Also nicely fucks over the redhead ending where Yuu even requests the protag to stay with her sister. Kinda funny if you think about it..Oh well.
>>15129150
I can confirm that this works.
This girl suddenly made some pretty interesting faces.
>>15132424
That whole section of the game really annoyed me. (real spoilers)Nozomi and Nonoka. I get it, bullying is pretty bad, but holy fuck was Nozomi a total drama queen about it. I know people who's parents didn't fucking feed them and they lived their whole childhood close to starvation. Heck, look at anyone in the fucking middle east having their lives torn up by ISIS. Their lives are unimaginably worse than hers. The whole time Nozomi was whining about getting bullied and how EEEEVIL she was now I was just like, Jesus Christ grow up. Same for Ayako. What happened to her fucking sucked, but its not something to drive one to that levels of hate. A Bradyon Veda quote comes to midn (paraphrasing in English:) "It looks like she has a boss who drilled in formality, to the point that she salutes even if she doesn't want to. It's unfortunate, but I don't pity her. What she went through is no doubt preferable to the situation war veterans with no limbs suffer through." That's pretty much my response to Nozomi. Yeah, her situation sucked, but hoooly fuck it's still a pretty good deal over a good deal of people's lives. She really needs some perspective. My ideal conclusion to her appearance in Kana's route would Kana showing her photographs of starving war oprhans and Nozomi being like "oh damn my life was pretty good".
Lets hope these tags work
>Mom spills death flag several times
>CG of a hand with a IV drip petting protagonist's head in opening
She's a goner isn't she.
>>15132457
I didn't even read Akeiro yet your whole "other people had it worse somehow makes things better" viewpoint is extremely ignorant. Just because people in the world are starving doesn't automatically make your or my life good.
>>15132541
No no. I didn't say it makes it better. We all suffer and that suffering is legitimate. It makes her reaction goddamn childish, is all. Completely lacking any perspective. Immature as hell. It is precisely because people in the world are starving and dying and being miserable, that I don't make a big deal about the sufferings in my life, which are immeasurably small in comparison to those around me.
>>15132564
Oh, fair enough.
