Suzu Fanatic Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 So making a bit more progress in Snow Sakura...but I'm wondering if I should quit before I lose braincells...I just came across a Jar Jar Binks reference the translator decided to throw in randomly... -_- But, it's not the first (now ancient) pop-culture reference I've seen while reading this, so I guess I'll live. Guess I'll just have to man up and hope for the best. Quote
FinalChaos Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Playing bunny black and I'm enjoying it so far. The gameplay is not bad at all you just have to be very careful during battles and save a lot in my opinion^^ Quote
Exodus Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Ever17 its a bit old but still a very good VN since the story that really gets you reading more should try it theres about 4 routes i think theirs a fifth but not to sure still a great VN . Quote
Yatsufusa Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Another playthrough of School Days to tide me over until Shiny Days releases within the next day or two, hopefully without another friggin delay. Can't wait to do a full blown Setsuna route. <<<<<besto grill. Quote
Evilobject Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Damn if i posted here everytime i started reading a vn i would've easily had 100+ posts, currently reading lover able while translating it at the same time. Quote
Suzu Fanatic Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Finished all I want to do in Snow Sakura. (read Saki's and Misaki's routes) For how much is written, there sure is a whole lot of nothing going on most of the time~ Probably doesn't help I dislike the TL style. Wouldn't call the stories/themes "bad" or anything, but definitely forgettable. Quote
Desert35 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Yeah but the saving money part is only true at the start, once you have hired 9 units and have bought the basic equipment, money is hardly an issue. Right now I'm sitting with more than 100k money with nothing good to spend it on. One piece of advice is that you should definitely buy two Fairies at the start. They are really useful and I still have 2 of them. Indeed that is what I did and it's really helpful indeed. Money isn't a problem after some time indeed ^^ Quote
Funyarinpa Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 So I finished an amazing Sakura Swim Club playthrough, thanks to OriginalRen's amazing stream. I'll focus on Kara no Shoujo next. Quote
Turnip Sensei Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I finally got around reading Sharin no Kuni to it's conclusion. I've been stalling it for a pretty long time because got burned out in the beginning of Natsumi's chapter when nothing happen. Natsumi's chapter got slightly more interesting towards the end, but it was definitely the least impressive of the bunch. The communication between Morita and Natsumi was pretty annoying to follow in all it's awkwardness and Houzuki's cruel methods didn't have the same novelty that made them so powerful in the earlier chapters. On the other hand the final chapter was really impressive. Ririko being there all along was a pretty clever twist and their fight to stop the execution and save their friends was exiting. And their the failure and the despair that came with it was quite captivating as well. The whole way from the prison to their eventually freedom was bumpy road of despair and hope and the final scene about struggling upwards the cavern, only warm memories of friends driving Morita forward, was quite inspiring. When first started playing Sharin no Kuni I thought Natsumi was going to be the most interesting heroine. But the time I got to her chapter and tried struggling through the awkward beginning, I realized that I Sachi was actually way more interesting. This also contributed to me stalling the game. When I picked it up again I just redid the the earlier chapters and went with Sachi. And I wasn't disappointed. Like Ren said in his rant streams, the way the handled the relationships in Sharin is actually really good. Especially the scene in Natsumi's chapter where Morita and Sachi discuss their relationship and what they should do with Natsumi was really great. Quote
LiquidShu Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Finally got motivation to actually start Osadai. I was planning on doing Yukino --> Ell --> Ran --> Puchin because I wanted to save best girl for last, but I ended up doing Ran first because it was to tempting. As of this post I am on episode 3 of Ran-neechan's route and tbh the story is pretty much "let's go with it". I went in expecting this and it is proving fun to read. I really love when Qoo yells the name of that ray gun, which I forgot the name of. H scenes are enjoyable so far, currently on the paizuri one in her room. I have to say the genitals were pretty badly redrawn though. Edited September 19, 2015 by LiquidShu Quote
Funyarinpa Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Kara no Shoujo is pretty good, I LOVE the Inference parts, reminds me of Umineko. Kazuna best girl (NTR much? lol) also I think I'm on March 13 or something Yukari just told me that the poem is about a journey through hell It's Dante's Inferno, isn't it? Quote
Kanbe Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Finished Eustia again. FUUuuuuuuu I'm so depressed now Quote
Funyarinpa Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 GGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (Kara no Shoujo spoilers) I keep getting the ending where I get abducted alongside the student body president. Fucking damn it, how do I get out of this? I decided to let the forensics get the handwriting samples but that didn't help. I think I will pick the wrong answers so that she doesn't decide to open up to me. edit: Looked at the walkthrough just now, dafuq. This shit's COMPLICATED, yo edit 2: (related to endings) Would you recommend me to play all routes? I think I will do so since I quite like this game. Also, should I play Orihime's or Kyoko's route first? Those two interest me the most. If there's a general recommended route order, I'd like to know about it. I do know that I can't get the true ending on my first try. Quote
Decay Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Yet another person reading Kara no Shoujo without reading Cartagra first. Why does this keep happening?? You should read Cartagra first. Especially if you like Kazuna, since she's the main heroine there. As far as KnS goes, there are no "routes", only alternate endings. Some of them are actually bad ends. Some felt like a waste of time. It's still probably important at the very least to see the true end for KnS2. Quote

Eclipsed Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I've been able to get through Corpse Party: Sachiko's Hysteric Birthday 2U or w.e save for a few Wrong Ends by having The Anime Man's of it running in the background Uhh.. I ship Mandatory Tentacles & Swimsuit CGs Quote
Desert35 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Finally after some thinking I decided to read lightning warrior raidy 3 instead of doing a new game + of Bunny Black! ^^ Quote
LiquidShu Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Also started Swan Song for VN Club. Swan Song was one of the first VN's I read. Playing through it and it was completely twisted and fucked up. The main antagonist later in the game does a great job at being the antagonist, because I really did hate him. The game also did a great job at the apocalyptic setting and brings out the dark side of people. Quote
Eclipsed Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Screw everything, I'm playing KoiRizo Desert35 1 Quote
Decay Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I hope people didn't overhype themselves on KoiRizo by following the translation for so long. It's not bad, but it's also not anything special or especially exciting. Darbury 1 Quote

TexasDice Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I'm looking for something simple with love and sex. Will I be disappointed? Quote
Suzu Fanatic Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Since I'm coming from Snow Sakura (decided to read all of it, after all), I don't think I'm at risk of being disappointed, in fact, I'll have the luxury of probably being impressed, lol. Quote
