What do you guys think of Corpse Party? I've got a friend bothering me with it all the time, don't know if I should ask here though, looks like a vn/rpg.

>>128551920
It's just guro pretty much, I wouldn't call it scary imo at least if you're a man. It's still worth reading, far more interesting than a lot of other vns with their shit cliches and tropes.
I've only played the first one though.

>>128555685
The padding is really absurd, if not for that it'd be worth reading I think. As it stands I would only recommend it to military otakus. Though they would probably be pissed at the simplified military complex? And all the SOL? This really isn't a game for anyone it seems. In fact, I would say GKG is really crippled by its own adherence to modern standards of game design. You simply can not have a functional military setting with only THREE adult characters. What the fuck were they thinking? Though, that still isn't nearly as big of an issue as the padding.
However, all that said, at least I'm having fun reading it. Critically it falls apart but as a fun little VN it's fine, the author is pretty good at making jokes.

You thought we were memeing about Quof being a retarded shitposter from reddit?
>>128557774
Well to tell the truth if I ever decide learn Japanese the main reason would be nukige.
I'm a little disappointed. I kinda liked the guy, I didn't know he was the /vng/ shitposter.
>>128557774
Don't you see Fate Stay Night and Muv Luv Alternative on there?
>>128558268
Wise man. There's pretty much infinite good nukige, whereas finding well written games is a much greater challenge. I read a lot of real novels in Japanese and they're pretty good, which is why when I choose a VN it tends to be moege or nukige.
>>128558384
Just to be clear, if you're being serious, I don't make new threads or even care about /vn/ vs /vng/.
>>128558495
Hi Quof
>>128558495
Sure you don't, that's why whenever there's a /vn/ and a /vng/ thread at the same time the /vng/ thread gets several untranslated images and Ohaa, while the /vn/ thread is free of your shitposting.
So is anyone ever going to translate Monobeno Happy End, or should I just finally learn japanese

The time of moege has come
>>128558724
It's a really fucking big game, one of the largest actually, and every group that's tried it so far has had a pretty amateur translator that fucked up a lot leading to the group disbanding quickly. Add on to that the fact that Monobeno is like 50% loli sex scenes the chances of it being brought over are pretty low, no official group would touch it and a fan translator would be hard pressed to be motivated.

You can experience it again if you learn Japanese.

Are you serious? It's literally a 70 EGS moege game by a random shit company. It's going to be worse than pretty much everything you played before.
Meanwhile Root Double, an actual good game, is failing.
What's "reddit"?
>>128559124
>>128559345
I kinda hope this causes a tumbling down effect where the western market rebels against moege trash. Like, the game comes out and everyone's disappointed because it's shit, and therefore stops buying moege.

>western market rebels against moege trash
Won't happen. I'd say a huge chunk of people who read VNs are in it for the cute anime girls and porn. Just scroll up and look at MGs sales list. The average person doesn't care about deep and engaging stories in their VNs.
>>128564346
>sekai
>no sexual content
Yeah naw.
>>128564714
That's okay too.
However personally I don't give a shit about VNs with no sexual content.
>>128564896
Never tried it.
It's not like I think even the ones with porn are actually good.
It's just that there's no real alternative of something with a somewhat thought out and long story that involves porn with the characters as well.
Especially with pictures and voice acting and from the male perspective.
>>128564920
I admit cute girls doing cute shit takes priority over anything else for me. I do enjoy a good story as well, but prefer the light hearted and cutesy shit more.

I'm sure you know the western fanbase has almost no power on the industry
>>128564483
>>128564920
My honest opinion at the current moment is all the fans of moege are people who haven't read a lot of VNs. If you remember that poll from awhile ago, 90% of people or so have read less than 50 VNs. For awhile, EOPs haven't had too many really good moege, like Hoshimemo was like just about it for awhile, Kira Kira too I suppose. So then, this year, PE, Noble works, Koichoco, a bunch of high quality moege come out and everyone's like holy SHIT moege are great, but honestly, that's just because they haven't read too many moege yet. The first ones are always the best. After that they get boring and you need better moege. Which is not Libra, which is not a lot of what's getting attention. So when, I hope, people notice that moege tend to be pretty repetitive and dull, an anti-moege sentiment sparks.
Do you think Maya would be a veterinarian if she wasn't forced into the rich lifestyle?
btw root double is more like a charage than a twistfest like ever17 or 999
>>128565483
But you're not allowed to post here until you've read Fate/Stay Night, so I don't think that applies to /vn/.
>>128565528
Still haven't read her route so I have no fucking clue
>>128565714
F/SN isn't a moege.
The point I'm driving are that the appeal of moege drops really quickly after you've played a couple, due to the inherent repetition of love, and one will start looking for MORE from a moege, more comedy, better drama, etc etc to the point where all the garbage getting brought over will be hopefully be rejected.
>>128565903
After reading a lot of nukige, I've got to say, the romance in most of these moege is really getting dull as fuck. The first 10 or so times all the icha and dere is pretty amazing, but soon the lines start repeating and the scenes start following a pattern and damn, it's like nukige does this love and romance stuff just as good as half these moege but without tens of hours of padding. I don't know if I can muster up the will to read any more moege if they're all going to be this repetitious.
And I mean, holy shit. There's all this big drama about the girl giving up her first time to MC, how wonderful and romantic here's a soft piano track... but dudes, I've fucked HUNDREDS of anime girls, this isn't "my" first time, this is just another anime girl staining my cum rag among hundreds of others, so what if she offers "me" her virginity I've conquered like 100 other virgins. Anyway, yeah.
>>128565903
But by reading the best VN ever made they should be able to see that moege pale in comparison.
The problem must be elsewhere.
>>128566062
This pasta is pretty good. I approve of this meme.

Hoshizora then Ikikoi to wash away the shit
>>128569871

dumb yuri poster
>>128570154
Ikikoi will make Hoshizora's comedy seem stale and the drama dumb, so you might want to read it after.
Hoshizora is still pretty good though.
>>128570381
Who the fuck makes this shit? Does he think they're funny or something? I really don't get it.
>>128570154
Hoshizora then Sakura no Uta. Sakura no Uta is basically the spiritual successor of Ikikoi and therefore better in literally every way describable.
wow, Jo's sister is a bitch

Ikikoi is trash, honestly familia
I'm not sure why this general tries to push it as some comedical masterpiece.
