I'm 15 minutes in and I love it already.
What are your thoughts on this game, /v/? First impressions?Waifus?
>find out the devs are Venezuelans who need the money to get the fuck out of their shithole
I don't want to drop money on early access, but I don't want them to literally starve to death either
>>342575341
good vn, great OST.
>>342575452

Dana is the best btw
>>342575341
It's pretty cool, amazing soundtrack and great dialogue
the only thing that bothers me and wont let me enjoy it to the fullest is the yuri shit, it's like those japanese animes of cute girls doing cute things but instead ranting in a bar
interesting story though.. just the fucking yuri is a turn off
>>342575984

It all makes so much sense now.
torrent link?
Please stop shilling your shitty "game"
Why is my copy just a black screen then after a few seconds starts glitcing out?
>>342576387
They can't afford food much less shills
>>342576280
yeah great way to address that yuri shit anon-san
So is this the new "shill it as hard as humanly possible until everyone hates it" game?
>>342576368
There's a megaupload that gets posted every thread. Dunno if there's a torrent.
>>342575984
If it's any consolation, there's no romancing. Which is actually kind of killing it for me, but to each their own.
>>342576442
buy the game ;)
>>342576453
I know you would identify more with a protagonist who constantly talk about how much she loves to sucks cooks but try to tolerate some minimum talk about how great is to fuck women
>>342576683
Savage.
>>342576489
>If it's any consolation, there's no romancing. Which is actually kind of killing it for me
this kills it for me too, but at least now I can finish it without being worried about the yuri and focus on the story
>>342575984
>not liking yuri in any context
>>342576765
Well, yuri is still kind of in focus, since a major plot point isJill's ex-girlfriend. She never actually appears though, so the yuri aspect doesn't really get too much.

Safe Haven, nigger. Sets the mood of the game for me.

Nope. You should probablybuy the game.
>>342577020
Yeah, they scissor or some shit
>>342577079
I did it
>>342577143
Reinstall then. What OS are you running?
>>342576683
>Sucks cooks
Man, I didn't know you could cook lampreys.
>>342577118
Im all for girls scissoring
just not for romancing, can't really feel identified you know cause Im not a grill
>>342577020
Yes? And?
Girls are best at sex with girls, dildo play included. It the same as men usually giving better blowjobs and handjobs because they understand the hardware better than even the most experienced slut could.
All about that empathy.
>waifus
So is this a dating sim or something?
>>342577486
Is not like you could identify with a guy who actually date grills anyway
>>342577648
thats why I'm playing shitty VN's wiseass
>>342577641
Nope, it's a bartending for cute girls and sometimes cool dudes sim.

Well if you already playing make believe, you can at least pretend you like women for once

>>342575341
Is this game literally "Re/v/olution 60: /V/ edition"?
>>342577486
The game wasn't designed with self-insertion in mind. The devs said they felt creating a protagonist with a defined personality, preferences, and history would lead to better storytelling. You aren't playing a traditional VN, you're reading someone else's story from their perspective. If you can't get into it because they aren't you in some way then it's probably not a story for you and you'll never be able to enjoy it.This post will receive accusations of being from the dev instead of discussion about how valid/shit the opinion is
>>342578231
You fuck off spic.

>The game wasn't designed with self-insertion in mind.
I have no problems with that
I actually said the story was good and it had great dialogue with great music, the only problem I had was the turn off by posibilities of romancing being only into the gay narrative
but as this anon already replied>>342576489
it has little focus in romancing and more in the story which Im okay with it
can't blame me for expecting waifu shit when this game was literally advertised with waifus
>>342578098
What's your favourite game, Anon? Why don't you enlighten us with your superior taste?
>>342578965
>was literally advertised with waifus
well, to be fair, most of the likeable cast are women
>>342579291
why yes they are
lets just leave it at that
>>342578965
Genuinely curious as to why the yuri messes with you. Is it just with romance options or overall? Not enjoying gay girls doesn't make sense to me.I expected shitposting, but you dignified me with a real response. You made my night. Thank you anon.
>>342575984
>great dialogue
Nope.

>>342577486
I want /u/ to leave.
>>342579632
lol its okay anon, calling it "yuri shit" was just a way of being your usual asshole in /v/
to be honest I dont have a problem with gay stuff, I just dont feel attached to the romantic narrative it because I can't actually think or behave like a girl, so add romantic behavior with two girls and Im just at a loss.. just romance, not sexual behavior which of course I'd find that arousing
now if I'd be a female protagonist with a male romance interest I could pour my thoughts and behavior on said male character
so it's really the yuri stuff, can't really feel attached to that love narrative just because I'm straight... doesnt mean I can't feel empathy but as I'm only half-way through the game I felt it was a killer for me if the heavy plot was about romance, which I'm glad is not.
I got theCOZY HELLending, and I'm just trying to convince myself to go through it all again to see the rest. Does it get better? Or should I simply embrace alta's bosom.
Do you drink while playing anons? I do..Rum and Coke kinda night
Pros:
-The music is top notch. Sets the mood right and it even better with letting you pick the music for when you're working.
-Art work looks nice and doesn't have to many bright colors to offset the mood.
-The scenario is set up nicely in the way that you want to learn more about the world, be it through clients or Jill going through her Tablet.
-Some characters are written quite well that make me hope they come to the bar again soon so I can learn more about them and their lives.
Cons:
-Jill is as boring as a rock with her main struggle.
-The game focused more on Jills relationship struggle than the setting the game made for itself
-Memes
-Some clients focused on sex more than they needed to, which made the dialog boring as I've heard it a million times before now
-As there is no real way to change up the dialog with simple dialog choices or drink choices, replayablitiy is minimal.
-Dorothy is very one dimensional as most of her personality focuses on sex and sex related things.
Overall good game, pick it up if its like 7-10 bucks or something
>>342581197
>opinions
I agree with most of the points though, I actually liked Jill's mainish struggle to begin with, I could relate pretty hard having got out of a long term relationship even leaving myself asking "uh but why did I do that really."
So, I was y'know invested and drawing all these similaritiesAND THEN A GHOST CHICK THAT ONLY I CAN SEE SHOWS UP AND and like "OOOOOH BOY HERE WE GO, I HATE THIS FUCKING GIMMICK."
That being said, I kinda digged the story up until that.
>>342581197
The game is boring as fuck and if I hadn't already bought it a year ago I'd have refunded it. Hopefully anyone who actually bought this shit full price has done that already, just download the soundtrack and move on with your life.
>>342580684
The differences between how women and men think aren't too different. It's mostly dependent on the cultural and physical variables surrounding a situation.
An easy example would be a person with a heavy object obstructing something they need. The man thinks, "I'll just move this out of the way" because he's physically strong enough and nobody would think twice if they saw it. The woman thinks "Shit, how heavy is this? Can I move it?" and might consider what others will think about her if she attempts. "will moving this make me look tough and unattractive? What if I can't get it to budge and make a fool of myself? What if I suck so bad that the scene pesters somebody else into helping me?"
Lesbians and men generally work the same on a mental level with sex. Both want to fuck pretty girls and they have to figure out how to get them in bed. Lesbians have it easy with each other, though, because they usually don't have any rape assumptions and are a lot less guarded.
I want to share the good feelings that yuri gives me, but I don't know how. Maybe this can help?
>>342576506
>:)
>>342581997
kinda, but those still are conjectures, you can't possibly experience what is like to be a female, and thats okay
maybe thats what it's called "your cup of tea"
Who /scanlinesOn/ here?

Give Alma and Stella a hidden drink called a Flaming Moai (1A, 1B, 2D, 3F, 5K mixed only) and they'll show up later in the game. I think regardless of who you serve it to Dana's old friend will show up.
>>342584504
Oh so you mean I have to give it earlier in the game and then they will show up later? I thought I had to give it at a specific time.
How long is the game?
I have a few games to play and would like to start from the shortest.

>>342584761
8~ hours if you don't count going for the other endings and beating the shmup minigame.

Not mega, but it's fast and it's the GOG version, so it doesn't even require any cracks.

Too bad Jill isn't meaty enough to be a protag. An interesting NPC added to spice up the game and increase the mood sure, but not the main character. Dana's Augmented Wrestling game when
>>342584575
Yeah, there isn't really a specific time that you have to give it to 'em. When I played it I gave 'em the drink (Also gave it to Kim too, just incase that triggered the old friend to show up for whatever reason) in the first few days of the game, and they showed up around chapter 3 if I remember correctly. Even if the drink doesn't match whatever they order at the time you'll still get the R.O.M. characters.
>>342584916
da fuck? Did I just get hacked?
>>342585350
nvm it's working now.
I just played the demo. The game seems interesting and it's kind of reminding me of Papers Please, but I'm not sure if I want to pay full price for it.
How heavy is it on the memes?
>>342586097
pretty heavy, though they're not too obnoxious
>>342586097
They're mostly concentrated in an optional part of the game called Danger/u/ which is basically 4chan. The game is pretty much a VN as well so if you don't like those i'd say give it a miss
>>342585350nice tunes, faggot
>>342586163
>>342586215
I enjoy VN's so that isn't a problem. Don't know why everyone is so upset if they're mostly in an optional part of the game though.
Thanks boys I'll pick it up.
>>342583447
scan lines on when there's robots/dorothy
otherwise off
>>342586097
>How heavy is it on the memes?
it's restricted to very specific characters that are "supposed" to be meme characters, like Kim or Streaming-chan, and other characters also spout memes but less so
then there's danger/u/
>>342586658
>like Kim or Streaming-chan, and other characters also spout memes but less so
>then there's danger/u/
And even then it's pretty self-aware and low key. Like Streaming-chan is considered nuts by everyone in the game but the only other character with an equally high energy level.
>tfw you'll never marry Sei
>>342586658
>>342587248
As long as it isn't an overabundance of them. I can take a couple characters who are kind of "quirky" but I don't think I can take a game where memes are the main reason to buy it.
>>342587651
>Sei will never call you "cute as a button" and invite you to join her for a drink
>>342587968
What was Anna's whole deal? Was she a ghost? Was she Jill's headmate?
>>342588024
We find out that she's Dorothy's "Mom's" real daughter and that she had a fuckton of will power and that there is a rumor that enough nanomachines can be used to create a holographic image of someone or some shit like that so I think its something along those lines. She willed herself into that holographic thing that not everyone can see.
How come people love this lesbian story but hate Gone Home?
Is it the uguuuu anime style?
>>342588024
She was the NANOMACHINES ghost of Dorothy's adopted mother's daughter, who somehow stuck to Jill. Probably due to how she was somewhat similar to Lenore's situation. I actually thought she was Lenore.
>>342588716
Yes. People on here are hypocrites with no taste and think this garbage is actually interesting because of the anime faces and le cyberpunk meme.
>>342575984
>pretty cool
sure
>amazing soundtrack
agreed, best thing about it, still listening to it
>great dialogue
now the writing was very subpar and amateurish. kinda disappointing, considering that dialogue is the main part of a vn
>yuri
that was the BEST part of the game and you know it
get a taste my man
Paid for the game and ost. I got to reward good writing and soundtrack. They earned it.
>>342588930
I kinda meant like. /v/ would shit on any western game that have lesbian relationship, but now its a anime style game so everyone is like "OMG yuri is the best, holy shit"
I just don't get it.

What did miki actually ask for? gimme what she said or what jill summarized it as
>>342595334
uh something bitter and maybe something that will sober her up
as i said, when i give her any bitter drinks she says it's alright but she'd prefer something sweeter and i dont get flawless service, but it's slightly more positive than when i give her either of the two drinks listed as sobering, the something-jane and the crevice spike
>>342596128
Oh, did you give her the tea earlier? Flawless service means you did all the right stuff towards their ending so that is probably why
>>342596208
the tea? someone mentioned something about buying tea in another thread but i didn't realise it was this early on
i guess that's where i went wrong, thanks for your help
>>342596368
Yeah Miki only shows up twice and you have to give her that tea the first time to get her ending. It's a bit BS since there's no reason you'd buy the tea beforehand and giving it to her the 2nd time around does nothing
>>342583686
Nigga you litterly see her every save screen
>>342583686
??
>>342594364
If it's for Miki give her gut punch but load up as much special K as possible.
