Really? I don't know, I have enough sad things and drama in life already I don't need feels like that at all. I'm all for epic and happy things. But to each their own.

Don't like the new art style at all, that's my only opinion at the moment. Good luck to them I guess.

True that. And yeah, looking forward to complete Altered Fable and Photon Series myself. Total Eclipse is too long of a VN to have a stretch goal for it. It will probably be a stand-alone campaign later on. I really want a physical limited collection of that as well.

Lucky you, I raged a bit on it too but my focus was elsewhere...

A h-scene with English overacting voice-over? I think that's cringe-worthy at best. You know what's worse? English dubbed hentai in general. I think it's fine when they are just moaning. When they start talking, then everything falls into water. Still, have to be objective about the Sakura Fantasy. Still too short, but it was better then their previous work. At least for me. Maybe cuz' yuri makes everything better?

Yeah, I ignore it too these days but it somewhat breaks the immersion for me. I can say that there are good ones but most of the time, they are not needed. I would rather have them having a tender and kissing moment then just switching to 1-2 hour sex as soon as they expressed their feelings XD Oh? Just curios what is the reason? I liked the one from Dominance, but the new ones aren't that bad. I guess they are too voluptuous for your taste?

YUI!!! Still my favorite. But yeah, $300, Damn you, now, $3K?!? *shakes fist and throws bananas at those people* I love all of Yui's figures that were released. If I had the money, would probably get them all. ˇˇ Strange that Meiya and Sumika don't have that verity... Is it cuz' they are old characters? But that doesn't make any sense. Tamaki from ToHeart2 still has figures even today. Guess she is too popular, eh?

A h-scene with English overacting voice-over? I think that's cringe-worthy at best.

couldn't agree more there, the sex is always professional even when they're both virgins, could have been better if they at least showed a realistic side, maybe showing one if them screwing up from nervousness lol Exactly. They could be in awkward situation and left them unsatisfied. This should be present more in the VN. They don't need this in nukige, but in those where they spend hours on building the characters to that extend that they feel too real, this little thing could also help. ˇˇ

Good art draws me in, I stay for the atmosphere and characters. Story is not so important as the fun interactions between the characters and enjoyable situations.

Expensive stuff... at least for me. And Sumika figma? Don't like her all that much, but it will be good for those that want it I guess. But I doubt we will hit the final stretch goal anyway. And speaking of figures, I'm quite satisfied with my Cryska and Yui figmas, standing proudly on my shelf. ˇˇ I seriously envy to people who can pledge 300$ and above for this. You're filthy rich...

Not really a turn off but I want to mention one more dislike, the H-scenes in most of VN's. Cuz' in most cases, the MC virgin will be a pro at the first night. He knows all the erogenous zones of girls, able to make them go crazy and splash his seed in a never-ending tomorrow. What is suppose to be a tender and discovering experience we get a full blown professional porn movie with edits. It's inconsistent and becomes a more of a fantasy then whatever VN is all about. Even worse when there is a lusty and assertive girl, chasing the clueless MC and then ends up not taking any lead during the intercourse, and is seen crying of joy... of sorts. Where are my naughty and lewd faces...? Guess monster girl games spoiled me. -_-'

Like all the heroines so far, but Ruriko and Ayaka are just so awesome I'm having trouble deciding on who is best, with Rise fallowing along nicely. They have such good points in my book that is definitely hard to wight it out. That limited edition looks like a nice buy, except it's a shame that, if your least favorite character is selected for the wall, you're stuck with it.

This lacks atmosphere and fun factor. I don't think H-scenes will help it much.

Netorare and rape pretty much for me. I find no pleasure in someone else's misery, fictional character or not. That's pretty much not my thing and I avoid it like a plague. As for little things that bothers me, I guess when the MC is too much of a dick or too much of a pervert aka he thinks more with his balls then his brain. It's not a game breaker, but just my personal dislike.

I'm like two hours of read into it, and I'm fully enjoying it so far. This seems like a good pick up.

I agree with your Pros. The world was indeed interesting, although it lacked more info. Started in an interesting and mystique kind of way, and then it felt flat. In the end it's not even worth your time let alone money.

Hmm, a draw between Umi and Nagisa. ˇˇ' I should really finish the Sango route already. As soon as a make a longer pause, I can't get my lazy ass to finish things.

Characters from School/Shiny Days feel like they haven't been eating for days. They have such a slow and boring response. And my God, they have such booring conversations. Characters are mostly in blank state unless they suddenly shift from sad to happy triggered by a line that they like or hate. It gives me such a eerie feeling. Even if I manage to pull a happy ending, it just doesn't feel like one. I feel empty after playing this. Yup, I liked Setsuna, but for other routes, I'll pass.

Different fetish for different people eh? We would be hypocrites to judge when almost most of us have fetishes of our own.

Tried some, I'm indifferent towards it. I don't hate them but I don't enjoy them ether. They have a nice art, but it's too short and it definitely needs more work on the conversations and characters. But if I have to chose, I would say that I enjoyed it more then those sex filled VN's with mind-breaking heroines themes, which I don't like. All in all, there are better ones out there, it's a shame for those people who form opinion of VN based on Sakura series.

Preordered the Everafter edition. It's gonna take a while for it to come though. I'm not checking any reviews nor videos of potential spoiler.

Dug some of the oldie Critical Point, and might finish Lilium x Triangle before I fully concentrate on Princess Evangile.

Well I was keeping a close eye on translations a while back, would check for news for every two days. But the waiting is painful, especially if you're into it and you want it at that moment. And then if the translation projects fades away, they are canceled or key members who are doing the translation are missing, you feel disappointed and you kinda cool down after a while. So I rarely follow the progress closely these days, so I get positively surprised when I see that some huge progress is made or project is successful. The ones that I'm aware are in translation work and looking forward to are: Akatsuki no Goei Amagami Amairo＊Islenauts Clover Day's Fortune Arterial Ikusa Megami Zero Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki Yoake Mae Muv Luv Total Eclipse

First contact with hentai game was probably Cobra Mission and Knights of Xentar, However the first VN was Seasons of Sakura and Gloria, can't remember which was the first. There may have been a few between that I wanted to check but couldn't find anything or didn't had money for it. Do you Like Horny Bunnies 2 was probably the next encounter. Loved that one. Then I played Virgin Roster and it scared me for days. I hated it so much... I cried a lot too.
