I'll decide which Grisaia route I'll analyse and then re-read it. I'll probably re-read the whole thing anyway since I plan on doing an analysis for all the 4 remaining routes.

I'm trying to read Muv Luv Alternative and Danganronpa at the same time and what happened is that I'm 2/3 of the way through with DR and still at episode 5 with MLA. 

 

I hope Muv Luv Alternative stops the highschool comedy bullshit somewhere along the line, because oh god they're as bland as they're in Extra just in a far more serious context. Hell... this isn't what I plodded through Extra for.

You have it hard. I liked the whole thing since the beginning of extra. (Maybe not all the the crying and throwing tantrums the characters love to do, I had enough of that poppycock)

I've finished one of the routes in Tsukihime, and this game is good, but nowhere near as good as F/SN. 

 

I guess that's kind of an unfair comparison to make, though.

 

EDIT: Okay, so the gap isn't quite as wide as I made it out to be, the first route I did was just a lot weaker than the second. Arcueid's route is great.

Was it Ciel's route that you did first? I liked it quite a lot, but then I already knew Arcueid's route from reading the manga...

Personally I like Tsukihime more than F/SN. Despite the first VN bias for F/SN.

Yes, it was. And I really enjoyed that route, I just didn't think it stood up to anything in F/SN.

 

But Arcueid's route... That was really amazing. And sad. And I'm still semi-crying from it.

The 3 "far side of the moon" routes that you have left are probably less good than Arcueid by themselves, but they present a really different story and they have their own lot of twists and awesomeness. Enjoy.

I personally thought that all routes were good. Maybe because I was just waiting for Shiki to solve the heroines' problems. But god, oh. The twin sisters. The despair.

 

Anyway, have fun finishing the Far Side of the Moon routes. It's nice. Look forward to 'Eclipse', too.

I'm still reading Canvas 2. I started with Kana's roue, because i thought i didn't would like her route. It was readable, but not more. I simply don't like that childlike / loli characters (shame over me ;) ) ...

 

The next one I finished was the Mami route. This one I liked especially the ending was nice. 

 

In generally, that VN Isn't a masterpiece but parts of this are enjoyable. I not a big fan of H_scenes but at that VN they are really awful, and i think also they are misplaced. So i skip ver them. Now I'm looking forward to the next ones, especially Kiri and Ellis seems to be interessting.

So, I started Little Busters this weekend.  Let me tell you: I was NOT excited to begin it, AT ALL.  I kept wanting to start Steins;Gate or If My Heart Had Wings.  But I decided to give Little Busters a chance.  It took about... hm.... 60 seconds to win me over.  I think I have played for maybe an hour and a half and have already laughed like a dozen times.  And I don't mean chuckles, I mean full-on obnoxious guffaws while my wife is trying to watch tv.

Switching directly from Symphonic Rain to this is......... quite a contrast, to say the least.

 

All the silly game mechanics are just...  just AWESOME.  The constant "Mission Start!"s, the battle sequences (why can't Rin beat that Sasegami-or-whatever chick?!), the baseball practice; all of it is so hilarious and so great!  I am in heaven reading this.  On top of that, the soundtrack is incredible (although, so far, there are a few tracks that are more obnoxious than anything) and the story is intriguing.

I can see why everyone recommends the VN over the anime, although I do plan on watching it once I finish.

Little Busters definitely is very good, and believe me it will only get better.

Well, that is definitely good to hear.  I'm leaving work for lunch in 5 minutes and will be reading more of it then.  I'm really excited about it!  I honestly have no clue what's really going on or where the story is heading (I assume it'll be pick-a-girl-and-go as per usual VN formula) but I wouldn't have it any other way, for now.

 

Once I have played through once I'll think about using guides for other routes.  I'm curious what turning off all the "mini-games" will do.  Or rather, what difference keeping them all on makes.

just got my 100% in sharin

 

just wanted to say that ririko best girl


i didn't know i had something for nee-chans

 

i'll be reading Chaos;Head next i guess

Posted

Ririko, Queen of the Trolls, is and always will be best Sharin girl. I'm glad we agree on that :3  Did the revelation about Ririko being behind Ken all the time blow your mind like it did mine?  Seriously didn't see that coming at all.

i don't think you could have seen it coming whoever you are :P

so anyways,naturally i was  surprised,like i had to sit down on my bed for 3 minutes to take it in surprised :blink:

Best to see for yourself where the story is headed.

here - http://tlwiki.org/?title=LB!:Walkthrough , I used this one for LB.

Mini - games are there to make the vn more lively and immersive, you can switch them off if its boring for you.

I'm honestly feeling ashamed but I'm laughing at the same time, I never would have expected this,hhuhu.
