Mr Poltroon

If you guys all played nice there'd be no high or low pointers.

Well, you can't. The only way you can assess those routes is by uninstalling the English patch.

While I can't confirm or deny your question, are you using the English patch? As of right now, it only translates Mio and Konami's route.

Bravo! Bravo! I apologize for meddling but I've edited your post, since I was having difficulty getting some of the links to play, and I was afraid normal members would have no way to listen to them as I did.

Confession: My mother jumped into a pool in her wedding dress because her dumb son who didn't know how to swim decided to go and fall into the pool.

Why is this? There has been some generalization of the female sex at around high school age and some discussions as to the fate of this student. I do not see how you would regard this as cancerous, or any worse the the usual deal with stereotyping and worthless betting.

And here I was worrying mods would get on my case for derailing. I guess I got the reason wrong.

Very good. My sarcasm slipped through so smoothly that I didn't offend anyone and still managed to make my comments. I am satisfied. Now then, at this point in time, I think it's fine as it is, when you consider these threads are mostly community related, for the community.

But that doesn't get enough people to view the threads. Most people open a new thread once, decide if they'll keep following/reading it or not and that's that. No no, 30 different threads for the same thing it is. As for this idea, I find it to be an excellent idea. Certain threads have OP's which are constantly updated to reflect posts or just simply updates. And some people never read the OP after it's been updated (if at all). Seems like an excellent idea.

I took that for sarcasm and let it slide, even though I wanted to comment on how he used 'only' for the majority - but I decided that relatively speaking, only can be used on majorities as well.

*ahem* Can confirm. Up until about the middle of middle school, girls are really nice. It gets dangerous from late middle school to high school and never goes back. We can say that puberty effectively ruins a girl's personality for the rest of her life. I'd know, be it through my sisters or back in middle school, when the girls found my antics and mannerisms rather funny (in a more mocking way - "what the hell is he doing? hahaha") and I didn't particularly care about the gossip. Additionally, not being part of any particular group I passed my time listening in on gossip and seeing the drama going on all over the school, rather fun, really. Always perpetrated by women.

*OP requests good guy protagonist* *Provides the biggest arsehole he can think of* Sometimes I fail to grasp the logic behind some posts. As for my recommendation, I recommend A Profile. I believe one of the story issues has even to do with how nice the protagonist is.

You would know.

I will state once again that I am not attacking tragic ends, nor do I feel they need be eradicated, simply that I can't enjoy such a story. I'm not a person who can enjoy being sad through a piece of entertainment. Whether that particular piece is the most beautiful and perfect thing that's ever appeared on earth is something else entirely. I will concede that my wording may have misled you, in the first place, calling certain ends "bad" is ridiculous. How am I to know if I am referring to one of those ends where the story didn't end as intended and things turned sour or if I'm referring to an end that's actually just utter rubbish? That aside, my bad is meant as "not good in every aspect". I may be missing out on a lot of good stories, but they'd stop being good from the point where I can't enjoy them forward, wouldn't they? In which case, to me, they can't be considered good stories, can they? Be them masterpieces or whatever. I can understand if you make the counterargument that if I only got annoyed by the ending, then it was still worth it. I can't really refute this, and I am willing to put up with a bad taste there in the end, as I did with this game which was going just fine and dandy up until the last 100 lines if that. As I said, I simply can't proceed with any peace of mind and and enjoy the game knowing it'll end badly. It's not impossible I'll continue with Air, for instance, I was pretty satisfied with the routes I did play, I still have one to go, I probably just won't move on to the true route. I shan't comment on your opinion, which clearly differs from mine, though it has sound logic. As for me, given how I can't enjoy sad endings, it's easy to see where I'm standing and how I'd take idealistic nonsense any time of the day. Can I call myself and idealistic pragmatist? Is that even possible? I, on the other hand, couldn't care less if I'll remember it generations in the future so long as I enjoy the moment. And again, I managed to tolerate Tomoyo After's ending, so I have no objections. Each to their own, my friend, it is impossible for everyone's tastes to match, and impossibler to convert people's tastes with any ease.

I can't in good conscience play a Visual Novel with a bad true end myself. And if I do it will severely damper my mood as I go. I completely understand the questions, even if repetitive. I asked you about Air in the past for the very same reason. And I stopped it because from what I understood it wouldn't be all that nice. Yet again, the reason I've been taking ages to finish One ~the radiant season~, if at all - and this game probably has the best common route I've ever played through.

Have you noticed you seem to be somewhat bloodied? I'd recommend you watch your appearance before barging in on someone's room in the middle of the night, lest they get the wrong impression.

Not gentleman enough for me 0/10

I encountered no issued of any kind- Is what I'd like to say, but the music refused to work properly most of the time. Thankfully, you guys already know about this, so nothing other than that. I enjoyed the comedy a lot. Not a fan of Drama so all the nonsense with Rui and Yama were some of the less appreciated parts. The same for the apparently troubled past. Still, since I'm all in for Romance I will willingly put up with this for character growth or whatever you want to call it. But best of all were the mystery segments. I'm a big fan of mystery, but I don't have any real brains. I'm surprised I could find the right answers for most of the puzzles, and I am eagerly awaiting more of this kind of stuff. Anything I'd want to suggest is already planned, so, that's about it. Other than the protagonist? Shigure. I just have a hard time figuring out if I should be happy I understood most of what she said or unhappy that I didn't understand a bit. It's wondrous. Nothing to add. Fantastic. In particular, I absolutely adored Shigure's theme and the one which plays during puzzles is incredibly pleasing to listen to while trying to solve them. Writing? You think I'm qualified for this? I found it funny but that's about it. I don't like deep descriptions and talks and the like. When the protagonist slipped from his usual and became more... troubled? Whatever, those were the worst moments for me. But again, this is no fault of the VN. Of course I did.

If you truly intend to be spoiled, then go ahead. As always, it is recommended you find out for yourself.

I told you how it'd go.

Please note I made no comment as to whether it was a good tactical decision or at all intelligent. I just found it hilarious after the fact.
