Xseed have recently stated that they were looking to bring out more stuff for the PC, so there's still hope for Dead Patient. :)/> (Though what I really wish for is Trails in the Sky SC. >_> ) http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/31/xseed-looking-to-bring-more-games-especially-jrpgs-to-pc/

A friend linked this bundle to me somewhere else(apparently I'm the VN guy over there now), it looked interesting but I ended up forgetting about it. Time to take another look. I was interested in War of the Human Tanks and I'm not sure what else.

I actualy refrained from posting my balot for the previous round since no one else was posting heh. Here's the new one : ARENA 01: [Nōmi Kudryavka] Kirishima Shōko ARENA 02: Honma Meiko [Ayano Keiko (Silica)] ARENA 03: Nyarlathotep [Takanashi Rikka] ARENA 04: Kanzaki H. Aria [Nibutani Shinka] ARENA 05: Roromiya Karuta [Takanashi Tōka] ARENA 06: [Kotegawa Yui] Kashiwazaki Sena ARENA 07: [Kirigaya Suguha] Sanka Rea ARENA 08: [Yūki Asuna] Shirakiin Ririchiyo ARENA 09: Misaki Mei [Abstained] Hasegawa Kobato ARENA 10: [Makise Kurisu] Oshino Shinobu ARENA 11: Konoe Subaru [Chitanda Eru] ARENA 12: [Natsume Rin] Yūki Mikan ARENA 13: [shiina Mashiro] Momo Belia Deviluke ARENA 14: Araragi Karen [Kuroyukihime] ARENA 15: [Aoyama Nanami] Araragi Tsukihi ARENA 16: [Yui] Tōwa Erio ARENA 17: [Akemi Homura] Yuzuriha Inori ARENA 18: Mikazuki Yozora [Kurasaki Fūko (Sky Raker)] ARENA 19: Hagiwara Yukiho, Shijō Takane [Abstained] Minami Kotori, Yazawa Nico ARENA 20: Sengoku Nadeko [illyasviel von Einzbern] ARENA 21: Last Order [Hirasawa Yui] ARENA 22: [iwasawa Masami] Eucliwood Hellscythe ARENA 23: C.C.

Rikka, definitely.

Smashing things around with my dwarf in Dragon's Crown on PS3! A great brawler, it's quite a lot of fun so far. The 2D graphics are gorgeous. I just unlocked online yesterday. Currently level 21 as the dwarf.

My favorites are Fuuko, Kyou, After Story, Haruka and Refrain. If I had to choose one I'd probably say After Story. I haven't played Kanon yet, but judging from the 2006 anime, my favorite was Makoto.

This question is getting hard for me, I've been gaming for over 20 years now. SMS, NES and MSDOS were my starting point. It also sometimes changes according to my mood. (but I love it at the same time hehe.) 1. Final Fantasy Tactics (I would say PSX, but I loved the new translation on PSP.) 2. Baldur's Gate II : Shadows of Amn (PC, no idea how many playthroughs of this I've played.) 3. Final Fantasy VI (Snes) (Though I'm willing to admit CT was the better game, by now I have feelings for FFVI lol.) 4. Earthbound (Snes) (Scratch and sniff game guide, hell yes! I still have fond memories of beating up hippies and Cranky Old Ladies.) 5. Castlevania : Symphony of the Night (PSX) Many of the games some of you listed could've been here as well, but alas choices had to be made. I made a quick list of my faves from memory and then went by elimination. I guess the 90s were my "golden age" of gaming. There's way too many honorable mentions, I could make a top 100. A few shoutouts : Lunar 1 & 2, Suikoden series, Xenogears, Vanguard Bandits, Dragon Warrior VII, Star Ocean 1 & 2, Tales series, The Legend of Heroes : Trails in the Sky, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Sierra Online's "Quest" games, Planescape Torment, Fallout 2, Arcanum, Daggerfall, Skyrim, Portal, God Hand, Vanquish, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Etrian Odyssey, SaGa Frontier, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the Past, Phantasy Star IV, Shining Force, Valkyrie Profile, Radiata Stories, GTA San Andreas, Katamari Damacy, Shadow of the Colossus, SMT3 : Nocturne, GrimGrimoire, Final Fight, and I've got to stop myself now.

Amazing cover from MOON. (haven't actualy played the game myself)

I didn't feel like starting a new route of Grisaia immediatly after finishing Sachi's route, (I already know I'm going to do Makina's next though.) so I took a little break and read the prologue to YU-NO, which kinda caught my eye recently. It looks very interesting, I dig the old school graphics and music, and it makes for a change from all the moege. I also continued my game of Fate a bit, currently up to UBW, though still very early in the playthrough. I'll probably try to fit some time for Air somewhere in there, at the very least to give it a try.

New round already : ARENA 01: [Chitanda Eru] Honma Meiko ARENA 02: [Nibutani Shinka] Aoyama Nanami ARENA 03: [Makise Kurisu] Hasegawa Kobato ARENA 04: [Kirigaya Suguha] Kanzaki H.

I don't usualy watch much hentai anime, but I as a fan of both Satoshi Urushihara and Tony Taka, I feel I should at least still make these two recommendations : Title: Front Innocent http://myanimelist.net/anime/2136/Front_Innocent:_Mou_Hitotsu_no_Lady_Innocent Genre: Sex? /> Summary: Does it matter? Why you recommend it: Satoshi Urushihara designs, decent production values. Opinions: One of the few actualy decent looking h-anime I have watched. (Haven't watched a lot though.) Title: Fault!! http://myanimelist.net/anime/7053/Fault!! Genre: Sex and tennis? /> Summary: People play tennis and have sex all the time? Why you recommend it: Tony Taka, hot. Opinions: One of the few actualy decent looking h-anime I have watched. (Haven't watched a lot though.) The production values seem very good for h-anime from what I've seen. Would be interested in trying out the VN despite it seeming to be a nukige. I was curious about Tropical Kiss since the cg for the game seemed gorgeous, but the anime version looks pretty "meh".

Good news : http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/06/tales-of-xillia-2-is-coming-to-the-west-in-2014/

I finaly completed Sachi's route, only got her bad end left to check out! It was pretty good, and I did cry a little. I wouldn't say it was one of my favorite VN routes I played, but I still really enjoyed it. It was a bit longer than I expected it to be, but not so bad as to feel too drawn out. Looking forward to Makina's route now.

I've had it preordered from Amazon for a while, but they decided to be slow and I'll only be getting it around the end of next week. Pretty excited about it though. Tales of Graces F ended up being one of my favorite Tales game, so I'm pretty eager to try out this one.

Yeah, the artbook looks pretty, I'm pretty sure I preordered on time though, so I should be fine. I've had Etrian Odyssey IV arrive day 1 from them, using super saver free shipping, but all my other preorders since then have had this delay. It's okay though, it's not like I'm lacking in entertainment in the meantime.

I'm starting to re-read Cromartie High School in order to motivate myself to buy the rest of the series. I love this manga, one of the most hilarious things I have ever read, even though I've read the four volumes I own many times by now. (couldn't find the rest locally since most of the manga available is in french and there's no Cromartie, so I'll have to use amazon)

I have both Dragon's Crown and Tales of Xillia on preorder from Amazon.ca, but according to their delivery estimates it won't get here until at least the 15th. (so much for playing Dragon's Crown online with my friends who are getting it tomorrow. ) Other than that, I've been alternating between Link's Awakening DX and Shin Megami Tensei IV on my 3DS, both of which are great fun. SMTIV can be a bit brutal, but that's the way I like it. Not all that far yet, currently up to the Medusa fight. As for Zelda I'm currently looking for the grappling hook to finish the 5th dungeon.

I almost forgot about this : ISML 2013 Topaz Period — Round 1 ARENA 01: Konoe Subaru [Abstained] Yui ARENA 02: Kirigaya Suguha [Kuroyukihime] ARENA 03: [Momo Belia Deviluke] Kanzaki H. Aria ARENA 04: Araragi Tsukihi [Nyarlathotep] ARENA 05: Aoyama Nanami [Natsume Rin] ARENA 06: [shiina Mashiro] Yuzuriha Inori ARENA 07: [Kotegawa Yui] Sanka Rea ARENA 08: [Takanashi Rikka] Kashiwazaki Sena ARENA 09: Nōmi Kudryavka [Yūki Mikan] ARENA 10: Kurasaki Fūko (Sky Raker) [Akemi Homura] ARENA 11: [Honma Meiko] Misaki Mei ARENA 12: [Nibutani Shinka] Oshino Shinobu ARENA 13: [Makise Kurisu] Takanashi Tōka ARENA 14: [Kirishima Shōko] Shirakiin Ririchiyo ARENA 15: Yūki Asuna [Chitanda Eru] ARENA 16: [Ayano Keiko (Silica)] Tōwa Erio ARENA 17: Hasegawa Kobato [Abstained] Mikazuki Yozora ARENA 18: [Araragi Karen] Roromiya Karuta ARENA 19: Shimizu Raimei, Olivier Mira Armstrong [Abstained] Shiro, Kurama Mariko ARENA 20: Hirasawa Ui [Yui-nyan] ARENA 21: Shana [Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko)] ARENA 22: Louise Vallière [C.C.] ARENA 23: [Fujibayashi Kyō] Iwasawa Masami ARENA 24: Suzumiya Haruhi [Nagato Yuki] ARENA 25: Aisaka Taiga [Kōsaka Kirino] ARENA 26: [Aragaki Ayase] Nymph ARENA 27: Eucliwood Hellscythe [Akiyama Mio] ARENA 28: Sengoku Nadeko [Abstained] Katsura Hinagiku ARENA 29: [Holo] Izumi Konata ARENA 30: Last Order [Tōsaka Rin] ARENA 31: [saber] Kuroi Mato ARENA 32: Senjōgahara Hitagi [Konjiki no Yami] ARENA 33: [illyasviel von Einzbern] Charlotte Dunois ARENA 34: [Tachibana Kanade] Misaka Mikoto ARENA 35: Hirasawa Yui [sakagami Tomoyo] ARENA 36: Nakano Azusa [Nakamura Yuri] ARENA 37: Victorique de Blois [Furukawa Nagisa]

Air!

These lines always crack me up. :lol:/> Don't worry, I'm with you. I'm still not done with my first route (Sachi's), though I'm nearing the end as well.

I would have to agree with the Wahfuu, I find his cynical attitude rather amusing most of the time, and he has been proving to be a pretty interesting MC so far. He seems like a very resourceful kind a guy, very down to earth and practical, and also kinda badass at times, but not completely insensitive. In other news, I think I'm almost done with Sachi's route! I will wait until I'm done with it for a final verdict, but I've been enjoying it, I'm glad I started with this one. I'm looking forward to Makina's route after that.

I kinda have to agree. I don't really hate her, but I found her rather annoying at times and ended up not liking her much. For me the first name that came to mind for some reason is Takayuki from Kimi ga Nozomi Eien. That guy really came off as an instensitive jerk for most of the series except maybe in some key moments. I kinda felt it made him more realistic though, in a certain way. I often felt like screaming at him to lighten up. Other than that, a few I can think of : "Dust Taker" in Accel World, Sugou in SAO. (I guess that means I don't really like Reki Kawahara's villains), nothing else comes to mind at the moment.

I guess I was lucky enough to have a few friends who were into it, especialy considering I come from a countryside village. I had a deal with one of my friends during the Snes/PSX era where we would try not to buy the same RPGs so we could lend them to each other. (Still kinda sad I'm not the one who bought Suikoden II, them e-bay prices. ;_; ) This thread reminded me of another of my first eroge, Knight of Xentar. (aka Dragon Knight 3) Even back then it was kinda iffy, but it still is one of the first games I played that had hentai scenes and I have somewhat fond memories of playing it. I never finished Cobra Mission though.

I took a few more screenshots while playing Grisaia :
