Guest Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Episode 2 of Umineko here I come. Hopefully there's more blood Quote
Vokoca Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Well, I don't know how I got there, but I've finished Tsuki's route in AkaGoei. It's pretty funny, since I really liked her character. Loved the route, the climax was some really dark stuff, I really liked the twist. Well, onto the other routes, I guess! Even though I have absolutely no idea how-- this will be fun. Episode 2 of Umineko here I come. Hopefully there's more blood Hahaha, you have no idea... Bolverk 1 Quote

Tsuki was my first route as well. It was quite suffocating route, ha. ha. haaa... Vokoca 1 Quote
Funyarinpa Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I only recently heard about Infinity series(Ever 17's series).. well, I instantly have 3 VN's up my alley O_O Quote
Tom Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 ill go with kara no shojo next anyone played Madou Koukaku ~Yami no Tsuki Megami wa Doukoku de Utau~ ? how is it? Quote
Vokoca Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Just started Tae's route in AkaGoei. I think I'll do Aya next, then Reika and leave Moe for last, as suggested. Also those robot jokes are getting so out of hand I'm starting to think they aren't jokes at all. ---- Played some more of her route... uuu, she's so cute. I usually find these characters annoying, but Tae definitely has her cute moments. Although her inability to write kanji properly wasn't even funny, because my kanji finals will look even worse than that. Quote
jaxter0987 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Playing Key's Rewrite, 3 routes done. ...Not impressed thus far, story's a bit messy and incohesive. -_- Which is exactly why WE NEED JUN MAEDA! T_T I hope you saved Akane's route for last at least. I wish I was there to tell you the recommended route order before you started but meh, Rewrite is still immensely enjoyable even if you don't go through the story the optimal way for maximum enjoyment.

Schnarf Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Just finished Yumiko's route in Grisaia no Kajitsu. Think I'll start on Amane's tomorrow. Quote
Aggressor Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Just started Tae's route in AkaGoei. Robot and talking animals stuff are the things I didn't like about Akagoei. I mean, c'mon, it's a serious game, that ridiculous stuff is totally out of place. Well, that's why I wasn't able to enjoy Tae's route. Thanks god the second game got rid of these things. Quote

Oops... Akane was my third route. I started with Lucia, which I think is the best written so far. Anyway, I doubt there's hardly an optimal sequence since these routes are much too different. I would still be scratching my head to how little I know regardless of which routes I start off with. I'm enjoying it though, I'm just sort of underwhelmed by it's quality. Quote

I'm enjoying it though, I'm just sort of underwhelmed by it's quality. No, there is an optimal sequence, with slight flexibility. Lucia's can either be second or fourth, just that Shizuru's route should follow after Chihaya's, Kotori first and Akane last. I'm going to assume you're underwhelmed by the quality because you don't really know what's going on. Kotori > Chihaya > Shizuru > Lucia > Akane I'm posting the reasoning in spoilers so if you haven't played the route, you can opt out of reading the reason and not be spoiled. Kotori's route serves as an introduction to everything and to Gaia Chihaya's route provides more information about Gaia and information that is relevant to routes further down the line Shizuru's route serves as an introduction to Guardian and is enhanced by information learned during Chihaya's route Lucia's route provides another side to Guardian, plus the romance is a nice change of pace from the last two routes Akane's route an in depth look into Gaia. There's another reason but that would be spoilers Quote

I've been trying my best to play off the robot thing as a joke, but sometimes it's really hard. And talking animals? I see there are still weirder things waiting for me. Quote
Vokoca Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Cheetah manzai... yeah, I think I've seen everything now. As hilarious as this is, it also seems a bit out of place. Also, just when I thought Tae wouldn't get her way... freaking warheads! Passed Amane's first H-scene...I was a little surprised at how sadistic they made Yuuji in it; I didn't think he was that bad of a person. Was he really? I can't really remember, though him being a sadist is what Amane wants either way. Quote
Vokoca Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Uh...well, I'm gonna put it in spoilers, since it's a little on the perverted side. Don't click if you don't want to know. While giving her oral sex he plays with her urethra, ultimately making her piss all over her own face. He also contemplates sticking a finger up her ass, and generally makes her first time unpleasant in hopes of driving her away from him before giving in and actually taking her virginity. Ah, I kind of forgot that part. Well, the h-scenes are about the last thing I remember from VNs, though considering Yuuji's character, what he did shouldn't be that surprising. I wouldn't say he's a downright sadist by any means though, considering his reasoning behind the actions. Quote
Vokoca Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Eh...it was a little sadistic, whether he meant it to be or not, because it was clearly making her uncomfortable and he didn't care that much, plus...pissing on yourself, regardless of how or why, is always humiliating. I'm just a little surprised because this is my first playthrough, and I've never really seen this part of Yuuji before. That, and there wasn't anything on VNDB about that, so it was a little shocking. Yeah, that's understandable. Yuuji's not your usual goody-MC for sure. Not to say he's a bad person, but the way he goes about doing things... well, you'll see. Definitely makes for an interesting read. Quote
monkeysrumble Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I don't really have time to watch or read anything as of late but I decided to take a short break and read through Dra+Koi since it was short. It was um....well....errrr.....interesting? Quote
Vokoca Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 To be honest, I get kinda tired of the cliché super-nice MC. I mean, it's easy for me to connect with them, since I'm pretty sensitive myself, but still, there are just so many of them that it gets a little boring to read. I like a little shade of grey in my characters. Makes them more interesting I was surprised that he did it even though he's quite obviously self-loathing. You'd think that would make him hate himself even more, but so far, he hasn't spun into a downward spiral of self-hate. He's quite an interesting character, that's for sure. Not sure if I've seen a character similar to him before. Exactly, that's why I liked Yuuji so much. The only similar character I can think of is the MC from AkaGoei I'm reading right now, but even those two are very different from each other. They just both have some messed up past that has shaped them up into something quite incompatible with society, but they both deal with it in a very different way. Quote

I am glad they didn't make Tae's route that serious considering how.. Well Unserious she is for the most part, I found the comedy in her route quite enjoyble. Akagoei has serious and unserious parts, the comedy parts are good imo.To be fair I didn't enjoy the robot and animal stuff before my re-run of the game. At first I found it somewhat unappealing. I suppose each to their own. Quote

And that moment you realize Tae's mother could've been much better heroine than the daughter... Quote

I can't say anything to that haha, it's true xD She just appeared in the route for the first time for me... and I almost agree already. As for the humour, I don't really mind. I guess I just have high tolerance for this, I've read/played things with a much more out-of-place jokes, and I still laughed at them - Drag-on Dragoon 3 (not a VN) for example is incredily dark and serious the whole time, but it has several bizarre 4th-wall breaking jokes that come absolutely out of nowhere... and it somehow made it even better for me.

Schnarf Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Finished Amane's route in Grisaia no Kajitsu. Playing Michiru's now Quote
Forythos Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Finishing up the UBW route in F/SN. Holy crap! Archer is Shirou from the future!?! I must say my mind was blown when I came to this realisation, even more when the game confirmed it with words. Well played Nasu, well played. Looking forward to Heaven's Feel since I've been told several times that this was the best route. Quote
