Zantax Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Reading Katahane. Quite like it for now (but I'm not very far in yet). Graphics (especially backgrounds) are very nice, but having only one sprite per character sucks a bit. I also really like light mood that was present, at least until now. If only Wakaba wouldn't be so noisy and annoying... Quote
Kenshin_sama Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Alright, jumping on the MajiKoi bandwaggon here. Pretty fun game so far, I like how amusing the common route has been. Awesome bonus getting Sugita Tomokazu's voice in this! On that note, I went to vndb for verification and noticed that he went by a different alias for this game in addition to a few others. Anyone know the story behind that? Quote
Mugi Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Still on the common route for If My Heart Had Wings. Wondering when it's going to end because i'm already 11 hours into it (though maybe an hour or so was just the game sitting open while I go shower or something of that nature), and am ready to get into one of the heroines routes.

xplodax Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Currently, I'm playing Golden Time Vivid Memories for the Vita. I'm not far into it yet. I'm trying to get Kouko's route first, but I'm afraid I'll get the ending for those Tea Club girls because they keep cockblocking, haha. Quote
melo4496 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Â Started this few days ago. Chuuning Lover is the funniest thing I have encountered so far. Quote
AlexZandria Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Just finished CH1 of Dangan Ronpa tonight. Playing on mean and totally failed the final portion of the first trial (the Bullet Time Battles with the rhythm game) because I didn't pay close attention to the controls and then I ended up slamming on random buttons and instantly failing :/ I feel like a baller now guys. A A A A A A A A C ;-; that 1 C forever staining my score. Â Â Currently, I'm playing Golden Time Vivid Memories for the Vita. I'm not far into it yet.

I just got a Vita and I don't know what games to buy for it yet. I have the money to start a game collection but the only games I knew I wanted on it were the Dangan Ronpa ones. Quote

I have the money to start a game collection but the only games I knew I wanted on it were the Dangan Ronpa ones. Actually, yeah, I think it's great! It goes into so much more detail than the anime, so make sure to watch the anime first. But it kinda changes around all the events that happened in the anime (you don't get to meet all the characters together, which makes me sad lol) so hopefully that won't bother you. And the Japanese is surprisingly simple, perfect for a noob like me  I highly recommend the purchase. If you want to see gameplay, let me know, and I'll put up a video on YouTube or something. Quote
atorq Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 And so the end has come, there is now no more Majikoi to read. It was fun, very much so, perhaps even so much I would consider it my favorite visual novel so far. Not sure about that one, need to sleep on it. I guess I'll have to re-read what is translated of S now. Quote
LiquidShu Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Sword of Asumi, has anyone played it? It is on sale on steam for 50% and doesn't look to bad. I just have this thing with steam and vn's and thinking they won't turn out to good, lol. Quote

I'm gonna assume it's really bad (and Vndb doesn't list an average time so it might be really short too) but someone who has actually played it might think it's good. Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 People seem to be saying it's short, and it's buggy. Also they don't like the plot. Â Knowing VNDB they probably voted it down because of the art and length. They couldn't possibly have marked it down for the story, because VNDB rated Monster Girl Quest almost off the charts and all that's got going for it is... ah, I see. LiquidShu 1 Quote
sanahtlig Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 My overly cynical method to avoid bad OELVNs is to not play any. Â It's worked out for me so far. Â I should really get back to playing Ikusa Megami Verita. Â Need to finish that True History route so I can get on with my life. Quote
LiquidShu Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Welp looks like I will be skipping Sword of Asumi.  Not a big deal seeing as I have a lot to read from all of Fuwa's torrents. Also can't forget about Majikoi...  Kanon is coming along decently. So far I'm not hooked or anything though and it is just average for me. Quote
Getsuya Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I'm currently on the first on my list of (very many) amazing VNs that has been ported to the PS Vita: Aiyoku no Eustia. I made this my first purchase because the limited edition came with a nice case to keep my new Vita in. I'm about 3-4 hours into it and I'm amazed at how fast it hooks you in and the breakneck pace the story has. It seems like there's barely time to wrap your head around anything that happens with how quickly new things start happening. I also love how it switches over and gives you brief insights into what the girls are thinking to add another layer to it. I wasn't impressed with Eustia when I first met her in the game, until the perspective switched and I saw what she was thinking and realized there was much more to her than met the eye. Â I've always enjoyed August stuff, and this is no exception. Here's hoping the success of Aiyoku no Eustia and Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai on the Vita will encourage August to finally give us that all-ages port of Fortune Arterial they swept under the rug back when we were supposed to get it for PS3.

Vokoca Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Higurashi Sui is already unleashing its horrors and seems to be sneakily pushing me towards Tatarigoroshi-hen, my least favourite arc from the question arcs. And it's all because of Satoko, because I really hate Satoko. Or rather just her speech patterns and mannerisms...if I really get locked into her arc as the first one... oh Sui, much fear. Â Had only one creepy moment so far because I was doing my best to avoid all of the 'triggers', but even that one was scary as hell. Damn they got the creepiness to the next level with the voice acting and tight BGM/SFX control. But well, if my efforts to avoiding the tragedy leads me to Tatarigoroshi, then 10/10 trolling on Sui's side. Don't do this Sui. ;_; Quote

Speaking of which, I've never played Da Capo either. Should get around to 'obtaining' it sometime. > Female Protagonist VNs are shit.

Sui is definitely going to be my 2nd Vita VN after Eustia. Ryuukishi07 seems to have a talent for making characters who are both endearing and make you want to protect them while at the same time wanting to strangle them due to how annoying they are when they open their mouths (Satoko and Maria). I can't wait to finally experience the real Higurashi after having only seen the anime and read the manga. Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Â MGQ seems really shitty as far as I've seen. Is there really any point in a non-pervert playing it? Â You play it for the sex scenes, basically. People *say* the plot picks up in number 3, but you have to plough through the first 2 games to get there and I doubt it picks up by much. Furthermore the RPG mechanics are pretty poor. Quote

Â Funny thing is that I also only watched the anime and read the manga before (and the PC version of Onikakushi-hen, but I don't even count that since I went through the MG "translation"), so I also went into this in order to play Higurashi in its definitive form. And so far, I'm not disappointed at all, definitely recommended! Â I was also eyeing Eustia for quite a while now. Glad to hear the beginning is great, I'm looking forward to your impressions when you finish the VN. Quote
SanadaShadow Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Yay Vita VN buddies! Â Pls no extra comments unrelated to main topic. I have 3 warnings because of that shit. Quote

Is there really any point in a non-pervert playing it? Female characters in general are often shit. I like female characters for their interesting costume/face designs since guys have less diverse fashion....other than that I could go for a cast full of guys. But like cute monster girls? If you're not a perv you play it because that fox is super cute ;-; Quote
