What are you playing?

[Mr Poltroon]

I'm currently playing One~Kagayaku Kisetsu e~.

 

Can someone please explain how the protagonist manages to be nonsensical and crazy while playing the straight man at the same time?

For some reason I cannot identify myself, I suddenly felt like replaying Rewrite, so that's what I'm going to do.

The game in itself is quite good, but it has a bunch of stupid endings.

I've identified the reason now, I never did unlock the Oppai Route, and it makes me uneasy not to read all the routes in a VN. But since I lost my saves, I'll have to start over.

I'm going to do oppai now, just finishing the side "quest" things.

Currently beginning Rewrite and it will be followed by G sejou no Maou

I am currently playing Stillwater Creek. Love that game! Also have Memo. Not trying to beat Memo as much, but it is still important!

[Nerathim]

I don't see any problems with any of Rewrite's endings and Terra's end was one hell of a surprise given it's a Key VN. (And don't forget that Romeo is sad each time someone criticize Terra's ending, he said in an interview that he loved it very much )

It seems that the walkthrough I was following for School Days isnt correct. Do you guys happen to know a good walkthrough for School Days ?

I went in blindly with that game.

T'was fun, being animated and all. But very time consuming.

Didn't get to finish it, because of the robbery and all.

 

If you really want one though, I guess this one's good?

Goodluck!

 

[Kosakyun]

Ill try out this one. I would have gone through myself, but with so many endings it would be too time consuming.

Goodluck dealing with H-scenes everywhere after entering Chapter 4 or so.

 

I miss playing Kamidori. I might download it again. Didn't get to finish Serawi's route in NG+, and has barely touched Emelita's route.

 

My 150+ hours gameplay though... It's kind of discouraging. 

 

But muh H-scenes!

[Kenshin_sama]

Goodluck dealing with H-scenes everywhere after entering Chapter 4 or so.

Well, I definitely have a problem reading through them. Heck, I even ended up liking those H scenes more than anything else in the game. I actually got tired of the gameplay after a while, and the NG+ got boring during my 3rd play-through. But those H scenes actually kept me from deleting the game from my HD after completing it. Fapping to Reading all those H scenes took a pretty damn long time, lol.

I'm about to start on episode 3 of Umineko. You know, this VN is fucked up. Really fucked up. I kinda forgot how dark Higurashi was. I only played the first chapter of that but I still should have known. Umineko is a different kind of dark, though, because the atmosphere is one where everything is kind of ridiculously over the top, with literal cackling evil villains and fourth wall breaking debate scenes. But even still, the depth of the brutality and violence can be pretty shocking. If they actually had event CGs for the violent images being described, Kara no Shoujo would look like a fluffy moege by comparison. 

 

None of this is a bad thing. I'm glad there are no event CGs for those scenes. Either they would dampen the effect of your imagination constructing the scenes from the narrative, or they would just be way too much. As it is, the written text perfectly provides the desired impact while letting your imagination go wild. You know, like books. 07th's games are written much more like novels than most VNs because they can't fall back on the art, and I can appreciate that. That the PS3 version added actual good art almost seems unnecessary, and I now understand how someone could enjoy this without it, but even still I appreciate the updated visuals as a good compliment to the experience.

 

Overall, I'm still really excited to continue reading. The VN goes deeper into the witch stuff than I expected at first and I thought that would turn me off but now that more characters are being introduced, I'm interested to see where they go from here. I feel like I've been marathoning this for days and have barely made any progress. That's both a good feeling and a little intimidating, but I'm not going to back down now.

The gameplay in Kamidori average. Can't say much more than that. Trying to complete all of the quests is actually VERY grindy. I ended up using a trainer for some things. The battles can be interesting from time to time but it's still nothing special IMO. Average at best gameplay with a story that's occasionally okay but is pretty weak overall. I think Kamidori is overrated. But it also attracts a certain kind of fetish, I suppose. The game is very H heavy. And although the gameplay is only average by SRPG standards, most other gameplay VNs are even weaker so I guess Kamidori stands out there.

[Kenshin_sama]

How is the gameplay, by the way?  I'm a fan of turn-based strategy games with parties of characters, for example Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and the like.

 

Also, does anyone know if Sharin's fandisk has a walkthrough?  If not, I'll just have to go through blind and save before every choice.

^ Pretty much my opinion here. Most of my fun was in the NG+ exclusive content, and even that wasn't too great (although still good). And yeah, very grindy. Forgot to mention the art too. I think I used more than 10 CGs for my desktop wall.

I just did 100% on rewrite, wasn't expecting the oppai ending to be the best ending, but it was. I loled so hard.

An addendum to my earlier Umineko post: The music is really good! And there's a LOT of it. 30 hours in and new songs are still regularly being introduced, none of them bad. I've always seen praise for the music and I now see why. 

[madvanced]

Well I just started playing Cross Channel, I'm not expecting anything from this so let's see how it goes.

[madvanced]

Oh, apparently there's a lot of focus on h-scenes in it for a non-nukige.  I was also told to not use a guide for it, so might as well pass those bits along.

[madvanced]

I'm gonna download MajiKoi once everyone who uses the internet at my house is either gone or asleep.  They complain whenever I torrent stuff and they're there  :/

 

How are the other Fates?  I've only ever checked out F/sn.

VN wise there is only F/SN and F/HA which is F/SN's sequel.

[Decay]

Fate/extra is an RPG with some minor VN elements. Tsukihime and Mahoutsukai no Yoru are games set in the same universe but are about other magical related things and not the holy grail war or servants.
