Also, Chuable Soft are cool guys.

I can't wait for maggot baits to come out so that people can flip out when they realize that the ending plays the protagonists winning with the power of love 100% straight.

28 hours left until SP's panel at AX, who's ready for no uncensor patch confirmed?

I bet degenerates like you enjoy memes.

>needing confirmation
>>147280189
Wonderful taste, my friend.
So is ZTD a disappointment? I keep reading negative impressions from random people.
Kira Kira done. Kirari route was probably better in general, but right now I feel glad for a happy ending.
So, how's Curtain Call? Good, bad? I know it has a new cast of characters, but does the old gang get any progression?
>>147281358
I finished it yesterday. There's a lot of problems, both with the plot and with the game as an actual game. I would say it's absolutely the worst in the trilogy and probably the worst Uchikoshi/Namazawa game that I've ever played, beating out Root Double. Whether or not these are bad enough problems to make you consider the game actually bad are up to you.
>>147281358
I was pretty disappointed.
>>147281658
i got half way trough curtain call and dropped it. After Kirari's route i couldn't be bothered with some obnoxious MC and the band shit.
Fuck I still feel for her and all the shit the poor girl had to go trough.
whats the GoT of VNs?

>GoT
When they had to atleast nominally stick to the books it was semi decent, now it's a feminist hell.sad, it was fun for a moment
>>147282183
If you're talking about a very long, at times meandering series that's being made up as it goes along with a shitload of characters with a lot of time and effort put into each of their motivations forming around a dozen factions all competing against each other (with character motivations not necessary being known) with rather amateur writing but phenomenal use of motif all in a low fantasy setting then I'm afraid ASOIAF is more or less unique in that, due to GRRM's autism with regards to historical events like the War of the Roses.

>>147285909
>male dog
redundant
>>147286148
I guess. Just making sure they won't say "here take this wanko" and be done with it
So I was looking at MG's announcements and loaded up the thread prepared to meme about how Naked Butlers was the next translated kamige, but then I saw Maggot Baits. Is that actually something to get excited about?
>>147287115
If you're the kinda person who goes "I like black lilith games but wish they were more hardcore" absolutely.
>>147287115
Yeah. People has said Euphoria has one of the best twist evar and stuff so maybe I should check it out
when's Jast announcement?
>>147287387
Euphoria is decent. Probably top tier as far as nukige though.
The main problem is that they wrap up tte true route a bit too quickly. Game really could have used a fan disc.

So is Grisaia no Meikyuu going to get an 18+ release, or did SP change their minds on that?
>>147288396
im hype. 2 new moege coming with other fan TLs looming on the horizon.
>>147291830
It'll get it.
Within 6 months.
Man, Moege and VNs in general made me soft, and not in a bad way.
I look at cute things and girls and affectionate shit and I feel like i can appreciate it now, where in the past i scowled and mocked it.
I feel like I am a better person for it.

I don't know what the fuck is going on in the Rewrite anime but I like it. They're not staying faithful to the VN at all but it's heading in an interesting direction. Hopefully it's not 13 episodes.

wrong thing, but whatever
> MG's announcements.
To absolutely no one's surprise Maggot Baits and Watashi ga Suki nara 'Suki' tte Itte are licensed. Dal Segno is a decent, but I was expecting a moege from Minori instead.
Two moege, Euphoria-esque pseudo-nukige, something that was already translated, and an otome gamethat I will play. Decent haul, but nothing to phone home about, even if you're a pleb and adore moege like myself.
>>147302694
Do you enjoy this? Being the only one on a chinese video game cartoon porn image board?
>>147302694
Comparing this year's announcements to last year's, I think this year's announcements have been better so far. I think this year's Otakon will beat out last year's as well.

>>147302694
minori don't do moege
>>147302995
Yes, me. I sometimes reply to myself.
We are happy here.
When does SP announce their stuff?
>>147303249
I hope Perseus gets announced at Otakon, but knowing my luck it will be Supipara Chapter 2. The Steam sale will likely cause it to hit its goal.
>>147303385
The minori guy probably doesn't want the west to get their other games, just the all ages flop supipara
>>147303670
They brought over ef and eden*. It's more like they're going in the Japanese release order, so we might not get more until minori licenses out Supipara Chapter 2. Perseus likely won't be announced until at least next year.
>>147303365

Jesus, by the time I actually began having any sort of opinion about the characters, Karakara was already over.
The duration on the damn thing is 45-60m, even shorter than nekopara.
>>147305012
It lasted me 3 hours, granted Im a slow reader.
Hope they do more of it. I love the art.
are there any VNs worth getting in the steam sale? I like getting achievements for stuff because I'm a retard but am also aware that a lot of translations and companies selling that kind of stuff on steam are terrible

>>147307479
What's Higurashi like anyway? I've been considering playing it for a while but never got around to it
>>147308380
Good Times with Pens
Tomoyo After worth picking up on Steam? Or are the H-scenes censored?
Actually, do the removal of H-scenes detract from the game at all?
>>147308380
Horror mystery. It's pretty good.
>>147308653
The All-Ages one is actually a little better than the 18+ in this case. Key H content is never good and the All Ages one adds in more scenes and a (slightly) less depressing ending.
>>147302694
Well, as I said last thread. A few fairly obvious ones, the new tie with Chuablesoft makes me hope for Noblesse of Rouge, other than that its fairly typical. Both moeges are going on my list but neither really strike anything of a unique cord with me from their synopsis/artwork.
M'glad MB came out for the folks who like it even though I'd probably get shot bymy wifefor even thinking of playing it, and an otome/BL is fine too.
>>147308773
> a (slightly) less depressing ending.
I'm intrigued now. Which is the canon one? Can you access both from All Ages?
>>147308850
If you want to read it just do it faggot. Get your balls out of your wife's purse while you're at it.
>>147309236
>>147308773
Yeah I'm confused I saw a torrent on nyaa that was 18+ and uploaded in february, is this not the new translation?
Did they only translate all ages?
>>147309281
Probably can't play it anyways, no interest either. Euphoria's just about the same, That would probably kick my syncopy into action. Sucks that I've got a few restrictions from myself and from elsewhere but c'est la vie.And I am in full control of my own genitals thank you. I just would rather not worsen my wife's mental state.

>>147312319
They won't announce shit.
>games that are quality stories ..when we can
>..when we can
>>147312319
If they announce a single major title that people actually want to read and that doesn't have an existing fan translation, I'll revoke my right to read it. I will vow never read Muramasa if it gets announced. This is how little faith I have in Jast.

Oh boy, something that has literally been translated for literally half a decade.
Also, holy shit it's already on VNDB what the actual fuck? The AX JAST panel isn't even fucking over yet.
I thought I would be at least a little excited for the monster girl one but the art looks a bit eh
>>147311476
> Katahane.
> Eiyuu Senki.
> My Fiance is a Monster Girl.
Oh boy, two games with translations already. Though, Eiyuu Senki is going to be 18+, so that's something, since in the hacked up version you can't do that.
Sumaga when? I swear, JAST releases things slower than they acquire licenses.
>>147314174
can't do what?
We all agree that JAST's corner was absolute dogshit, right?
>these announcements
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H47ow4_Cmk0
And not a single Nitroplus title announced, with Django and Sumaga being AWOL. Wouldn't surprise me if they both got cancelled. Django at the very least. It also wouldn't surprise me if the anon(s) who posted that Nitroplus were done with JAST actually spoke the truth.
Thus far, I'm going to say Frontwing is winning with Island, for me at least. Not interested in an edgy pseudo-action nukige (Maggot baits) or BL/otome. The two moege look decent though, if not a bit bland, kinda like Koisuru no Last Resort.
We'll see. There should be an Alicesoft title announced at Otakon too, that'll be fun.
>>147314336
I wonder if their Nitroplus licenses are going to expire soon? They've sat on so many for so long I wouldn't be surprised if it'll expire before it's even translated.
Or maybe it's already expired and they just aren't mentioning it because it'd make them a huge laughing stock.
>>147314249
If they had done the gold version of Eiyuu*Senki at least, I would've been a little happy. But no. They're just porting over the PS3 translation that we already have access to anyway.
Everything else looks uninteresting. Really bad panel.

And yes definitely better than anything MG announced.
The House in Fata Morgana started out so solid, but by the timeyou actually go back in time to save Morgana, I didn't even get past the second key
It's weird, it has top notch art and not a bad story, but I can't bring myself to do this plodding section to the end. I finish damn near everything, too.
>>147321010
>>147321040
Really? I thought it started out poorly and only got better. Guess it depends on how much you liked the progression and pay offs.
>>147321040
Yeah it definitely takes too long to finish, especially when you can already guess what the conclusion's gonna be.
>>147321114
Yeah man, don't know. It feels super close to the end, too. Guess I should just get through it so I can get to Zero Time Dilemma.

>partner with Alicesoft?
Do the people who go to cons know anything about the medium at all? Sometimes those Japanese suckers ditch a company for another but I still think it's more productive to support MG and tell them which games you want.
P.S. JAST sucks and so did their panel
>>147324320
Key's OSTs are always nice. I regularly listen to Rewrite and Little Busters while studying.

Just like this medium.
The only company I can respect and admire is Mangagamer... Jast has mad potential most of their titles are placed on limbo hell by default and their Twitter isn't as lively as the competitors. Sekai Pro's somehow make unbelievable deals but their PR and it's CEO are horrible.
MG ftw really
>>147329686
JAST is literally one person.
Also, SP tries to keep itself relevant by announcing titles but never actually releases them. That's pretty bad business.
>>147329686
Fuck off MG shill, I hope you go bankrupt.
>>147329686
That's quite obvious, if you had a way to procure loads of free money for every title you put out, that wouldn't really be that hard and probably end up much better than when dovac runs it.
Also missed dates and titles >>147329781
Is KARAKARA worth playing?
>>147329781
Since Jast can't get their shit together and release any Nitro+ game that hasn't been fantranslated for a decade, Makoto should just ditch them for based MG. I'm sure it'll be glorious and Muramasa could actually happen then
>>147329981
Yes, it's short and cute, but I didn't like the music. Worth a reading.
>>147329981

>>147312831
>>147329820
Can you fault me for shilling for the best localization company? They even have Bamboo best prez backing them up you can't get more based than that!
>>147329996
I'd actually like it if JAST and MG merges.

ISLAND looks a little too loli for me, but which one is the NEET?
>>147330870
Is the blonde the shut-in/unpopular whatever?
>>147331984
Twintail tsundere is the only non-NEET.
Unless being a miko running a shrine nobody visits counts as employment.
Damn, I really regret ignoring Prisma Illya all this time. Season 1 was just ok, but S2 is fucking amazing. Comedy and SoL are on point and the action scenes are easily on par with Zero and Stay Night if not better.
Also brown Illya a best (though they're both great).
>>147331984
Yes. She talks a lot about movies since she spends most of her time watching them (and playing some online games).

Ahh, so it is a NEET themed VN. I'll have to check it out. Thanks mate. Appreciate it.

I should watch it but I'm already reading the manga.
Is the anime fun?
I heard it got a 4th season.
>>147332247
Hell yes. Though if you read the manga I say start at the end of season 1 (to see the Illya Archer vs Saber fight) or with season 2. The start of S1 is kind of boring.
And yeah, 3rei airs this season.

Because we don't have JRPG general anymore, I had no idea there's a new Star Ocean game.
Fucking hell.
