1-10 scoring is a 7/10 system. It has great moments, yes, but overall it isn't all that impressive. IMHO it does not deserve very high a place in the hallmark of scoring systems.

Hey bats, I cropped a new avatar for you:

Just bear in mind that the 5-star system is still out of 7 points, so the highest you can rate something is 5/7

Clearly we all know the better deal.

Confession: I'm pretty excited to see Darbury back; now there are twice as many people older than I making appearances in this thread.

You could also pay me $3.99 and not own 4 Sakura games.

another 500 shitposts have been made and so another AmA, spam, clickbait post shall emerge. I dont wanna name any names because well, duh, read the title above you dummy. Maybe im gonna make a post with actual content when I reach the 2000 shitposting mark, who knows. but for now, lets do some delicious shitposting, show me what you're best at fuwa.

I love the phoenix wright localization, lol. Yeah, it's wildly different. But they recognized that they couldn't maintain the spirit of the original Japanese version without making some changes, so they decided to just go hog wild with it. And they actually pulled it off rather successfully, I'd say. The game wouldn't be a fraction of popular in the US as it is now if they didn't do that.

Hoping this will encourage reviewers to use 1/5 and 5/5 ratings. I know with a 10 point scale there's always pressure to not use a 10 (or a 1) since it has that "masterpiece" stigma, but with a 5 scale you get broader categories and you're able to give a 5/5 without having to say everything is perfect. Hoping to see more 1/5 key games in the future as well!

The best part of this new system is it means Little Busters scores a ‘2’ instead of a ‘4’.

Mad that you attempted to play this game but you were put off by a few things!? Mad cuz there is not one media player which has all the neccessary functions? Mad that sub titles aren't appearing/synching properly with certain media players? Mad that theres no optimal playback forcing you to read over everything again? WELL GUESS WHAT PUNK I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU TO KNOW! So i pretty much found a website where someone had actually explained how to play Phantom of Inferno without any major problems however its so god damn hard to find on google without spoiling yourself you would have to literally dedicate yourself to find answers (unless you stared through the same scenes over again in which case i am no masochist). So pretty much i simplifyed his guide through my own testings despite the fact that its not even complicated any who and that i am no expert with codecs and such but things just make sense when you put it together. Shout outs to Suicide Victim ... http://imaginedpoetry.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/running-phantom-of-inferno-in-mpc.html?zx=f9b27172d18e6851 Those "Mad" sentences i put at the top are typically the common problems you will find if you try and play the game straight off the bat. MPC player allowed playback but failed to show the sub titles throughout the whole DVD. Any Power DVD software synchronises the subtitles properly but unfortunately the playback seems to be somewhat crappy and unreponsive. And because the game itself is a DVD you realistically don't want to wait trying to get another ending especially because there ARE choice texts in this game. SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT!? We are simply going to put the two together! It's very simple. We are going to steal Power DVD codecs, add them to MPC player and BOOM! You got yourself PLAYBACK and SUB TITLES! You can use these pictures as a guideline http://imgur.com/a/sojxw Step 1 You need to install the following: MPC-HC 32-Bit Power DVD 9 MPC player must be 32-Bit and at all times when playing because Power DVD 9 is a 32-Bit program (Meaning that the codecs we are going to be using will only go through as 32-Bit Duhhh). The good news is that you don't have to pay for anything apart from the game from wherever the hell you got it. You can download both of these programs from legitimate sites which i will put below. http://www.geforce.com/games-applications/pc-applications/powerdvd_9 https://mpc-hc.org/downloads/ You can go through the installation like any other program. Just watch out for any Ads and just leave everything as default. You can even try and play the game in Power DVD 9 and see that there is no playback availability and on MPC the sub titles are not synched correctly. Power DVD 9 is a trial and that is perfectly fine as we don't even need to use it. We just need the files on our PC thats all. Step 2 We are nearly there now. On this step we need to simply place some codecs on our external filter so... Open up MPC-HC and go to VIEW > OPTIONS. Go to EXTERNAL FILTERS and select ADD FILTER. On this section locate the following and press okay. CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD9) Microsoft MPEG-2 Video Decoder MPC - MPEG-2 Video Decoder (Gabest) If you are unable to find the last two (Microsoft and MPC) then don't worry about it because on my PC i only had Cyberlink. If you do have them make sure you select it as worded above (On his guide he had those so i put here just to be safe than sorry). Do the following for each one. CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD9) - PREFER Microsoft MPEG-2 Video Decoder - BLOCK MPC - MPEG-2 Video Decoder (Gabest) - BLOCK Apply it and now open Phantom of Inferno by whatever method you are using. I have an image file of the game and i mounted it using Daemon Tools Lite. Most likely you will select FILE > OPEN DISC > PHANTOMDVD. When the DVD loads right click any space, FILTERS > CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD9). In the window look for Miscellaneous and UNCHECK DxVA. Apply it, close down your MPC player and get ready for the next section as it gets a bit more complicated from here. Step 3 Open MPC-HC and open up Phantom of Inferno. ... CONGRATULATIONS You can now play this game with synchronised sub titles and the ability to slide through the time bar and use playback settings. What you should know!? You probably won't touch the playback until you get your first ending so don't even bother fiddling around with it until then. Create favourites as a save point instead of the Password system (unless you want to play super casual). You can name them to help you get through. If you saved a favourite half way in a scene and return to it, it may go black and only audio will be present. To fix this simply remember the time it was on and roll it back to the beginning of that scene (this causes it to refresh) and now drag it back to the time you was on. Note that you can't abuse the play back because... Im not too sure why, just treat the slider gently and if you mess up just refresh the chapter by dragging it back to 00:00. This happened quite a lot to me. It gets pretty finicky on scenes that are like 20-30 minutes long so you have to be patient if you are trying to get to a certain time. If you are using MPC-HC for other media files and you feel that its causing problems to it just remove the items in the filter. Or you could just use your 64-Bit MPC-HC. I don't think this just applies to Phantom of Inferno but for any other interactive DVD game which has common problems like this. It's worth keeping hold of it! Don't you dare touch the navigation and select chapters. The favourites cover this for you if you are using them. If you end up using navigation you could potentially spoil yourself and enter another route. Mess around with the Video Frame settings to your preference. Hope this guide helped you out. I finished this yesterday and i absolutely loved it. I don't want anyone to go through the trouble of not playing the game because of media players and other bullshit. If there are any problems please let me know i will try my best and help you but as i said i'm no expert about these things. If there is someone else who could help explain things that would be great! May be editing this randomly or when i'm bored.

We're switching to a 5 star system effective immediately. Past reviews will be converted to the 5 star system when I get to it. There will be no half stars except on rare occasions. Hopefully this doesn't break anything either. Place all bitchy comments and/or sarcastic praise below. Thank you

JAST has a dedicated licensing person. I know this because I have his e-mail address. I'm sure Peter gets involved at times also. I get the impression that JAST personnel have responsibilities that overlap with J-List. Nicholas Graham appears to be the boss at JAST, and he seems like a capable sort. Tim manages some projects. He seems less experienced. I'm not sure if Makoto is still working for JAST or not. I agree that Peter seems mostly focused on J-List, and that JAST is a side project for him. JAST's new forums are now live, and JAST personnel post there. You should ask these questions to them yourself.

It's a heartfelt romance anime about the struggles of a guy and his sister and the hardships they face as they move and try to survive in the country by themselves. Its pretty much a masterpiece if I do say so myself.

Social Suicide 101. But I think you might be exaggerating by claiming she doesn't want to have any sort of relationship with you. I mean, I don't know your family so I can't be sure, but it sounds to me like you just have separate interests and it's a bit harder to talk about common things now than it was before. This doesn't mean she doesn't care for you though, it's just that you have your own lives to worry about now and don't need to be on top of each other's business constantly. My mother and her brother don't talk often even though they live close to each other. Once every week they might meet or talk on the phone, but they each have their lives now, and I suspect the same could be applied to you here. My father has 2 brothers as well and one of them is our neighbour, but they still don't talk that often. Regardless, both my mother and my father love their siblings and whenever they're together they have a good time. My sister and I don't talk too much because of our separate interests as well, but I still don't hate her, and I don't think she hates me either. I would suggest, instead of trying to force the relationship, just accept that your sister has a lot of things to worry about now and it's not really your place to change that forcefully. However I would also suggest talking to her once in a while. Ask her how her day's been going, ask her if anything new happened, that sort of general questions that everyone can answer and strike a conversation with without being overbearing.

Thanks for the PTSD

lol fuck no. Its a 1 star now.

I'm going to bet it's because they sort of tapped the Steam market before anything else did. Like, sure there's now plenty of anime boobs to look at on Steam, but before Sakura Spirit came out, cheap anime fanservice games on Steam weren't plentiful (and they still kinda aren't, but there's more options at least) and that's probably why the Sakura games got such popularity early on. It was more of a novelty which, aided by the libido of 12 year olds, ended up selling like hotcakes, but if you look at the subsequent Sakura titles, each one does worse than the previous one, signaling that perhaps just having 2D boobs isn't going to hold you up for too long. Now Sakura games are basically going to turn into the Bad Rats of VNs.

I'm not okay!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna rob a bank! i'm gonna rob a bank! i'm gonna buy that fucken ps 4 and that fucken steins;gate 0 will be Mine!! MINE ALONE!!!! MUAHAHAHAHHAHA MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Shoujo City is a dating simulator game for Android, developed by me. It's not a pure VN, but rather a mix of RPG+VN. You have ten days to try and win love of a girl by giving her gifts, playing games, or going to regular dates. While talking to a girl, each dialogue choice affects your intimacy score. Each girl has a different personality and requires a different approach. Gameplay video: Even though the game is released already, it's still updated with new features and locations on a regular basis, so if you have some suggestions on improving the game, feel free to post. ) Shoujo city: iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shoujo-city-anime-game/id1128360282 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.laikastudio.shoujocity Shoujo City 3D: http://shoujocity.com

Nothing like bonding over a little Yosuga No Sora.

You are above even the boss. I hereby award you the title of ShitBoss

You gotta get a good balance in there. Shitposting and porn games are both very "important" things to keep up with.

The story of my life. From my experience, unless one or both of you are super emphatic and guilty about it, not much can be done; I'd say it's more or less normal in that period of life. What I can confirm, tho, is that once she graduates, things might change again. Actually, it's a given. It happened in case of my sister. We really grew apart during her university days, but once she graduated and came back with her 'boyfriend' (), things changed drastically. I'd say it's not exactly the same as it used to be, but nevertheless, we restored the bonds that once tied us together. I'm actually amazed it came so naturally, as if nothing happend to the point, it left me confused for quite a bit as how to react; luckily, her boyfriend is a super cool guy and literally became a bandaid in our relationship. I'd say, don't fret about it that much. Just be yourself and keep reminding your sis, you're still there for her. She's propably before the period, where an adult person actually comes to understand, how important and precious family bonds are.

It resolves the harem, and even pairs up protag with best girl, but it does it in such an unforgivably unrealistically melodramatic way that I wanted to find the guy who made it and punch him in the face in part just to see if he actually is a robot rather than a human. So, yes, at least the harem gets resolved, but the baggage that comes along for the ride made it really not worth it, for me.

Wait, FuwaFM is actually popular? Could've fooled me

as real as the post you just made who has the worst taste on fuwa and why is it kiriririri? fucking nordmænd

松に逢うては松を切る。 松とは だ。

This sure was a shitty post.

Reddit is pure cancer, but that's the beauty of it :^) I approve of this horrible life decision

its so horrible that I turned to reddit, true story :^ )

Who knew that I'd actually manage to get 1k before your humble self, as you came to Fuwa like a year before me, but shit happens. Looking forward to more from you, congrats As for the question, how does it feel to belong in the 'Shitposter/Oldfag' brigade?

I've only seen their tls on youtube, but they seemed very stilted and poorly written to me (the good writing of Ar Tonelico games in particular is completely ruined), not to mention the mistranslated lines (weren't they the ones who gave birth to that pregnancy meme with their Disgaea translation?). Americanization is the least of their problems. If there's a game that's overlocalized, it's Phoenix Wright, but Alexander O. Smith did such an awesome job with it, one is inclined to forgive anything.

Check my beginner's list for relatively easy stuff to play. Other than that, I recommend Love Revenge, Kono Sekai no Mukou de, and Sakura Nikagetsu for short, relatively easy VNs... Unfortunately, one of the ironies of short VNs is that few of them are good and the ones that are, tend to be... complex. The latter two are both fairly low-budget games, but are a much deeper experience than Love Revenge. Love Revenge is one of those rare charage that I consider to be a perfect example of what the genre does best. If you want to challenge yourself, try Draculius, as its basic language is relatively easy, but it is a bit longer than the three I named before. Edit: I should note that Island probably isn't a good choice for any beginner, simply because of the frequent pseudo-science terminology and occasional ventures into quantum physics. Edit2: By the way, this isn't me bashing Island. I already got that out of my system with my blog post. I'm just stating simple fact.

I'm going to axe out Sci-Fi

I applaud this change, and will now start my campaign to do a side venture called "Waifu Search" which will use the format much like this beloved system of yesteryear:

Despite the backhanded compliment, I actually am happy to see him around. I refer to his editing blog posts constantly to figure out how to do a halfway decent job with my work on To Heart 2, and I point other people at them frequently when I'm afraid they might be as clueless as I am. What I'm saying is, you can blame him for any and all problems you may find in To Heart 2, just like KoiRizo.

I approve of the 5 star system with occasional half stars

SUCH A FUCKING GREAT DEAL, 1 BUNDLE DOESN'T SATISFIES ME SO I BOUGHT 500 BUNDLES OF CHEMO PILLS

I'll quote my thoughts from another thread about the title just for you.

Hello there, hope you enjoy your time here at fuwa, it's nice to have more people around to talk too. It seems you've read a lot of VNs in over a year which I think is pretty amazing. If you got anything you like to talk about than feel free to say, this place is pretty open minded. Well keep up the good work and have some moe for ya troubles.

Too many shit companies are getting mentioned..... like yuzusoft... yuzusoft.. yuzosoft and navel. Well you get the point for real moege, you should try something from whirlpool you damn weaboos. And honestly I wouldn't give a shit about the developers it is all about the writers. so here are my favorite writers whose work I totally did read.. 1. Watanabe 2. Sca-ji 3. Goo yeah they are definitely not the only writers I know okay, just saying

I don't think that statement is fair. Even though Mangagamer does everything to look like a porn company only selling nukige, they actually aren't. Back then, when MG was still uncool and visual novels weren't popular yet, they released an all-ages visual novel, Higurashi, even though it was pretty clear that it wouldn't be very profitable. Of course, they got hate because there were licensing issues with the soundtrack and because they didn't use the Alchemist sprites. But still, without MG, we probably wouldn't have gotten an English Higurashi release at all. Since then there was always an "All-ages" in the MG store. Also, even though they were advertising every game as a sex romp, people who actually played their games know that most of the time this was false advertising. I remember playing Edelweiß expecting a nukige because the summary very much implied it, but then I got one of the funniest love comedies I ever played. You only need to think of the gay ghosts to notice that they are still doing this, but nonetheless the games are actually not as porny as MG tries to make us believe. I don't think you can criticize MG for focusing on nukige. If you ignore all nukige in their portfolio, you still have a great list of mostly interesting games. And I think this list is possible, because they release also a few nukige (most of them actually quite good if you compare them to JAST's nukige for example) to make cash, because we all know that it's the porn that sells.
