What are you playing?

[Lucius]

Looks like I spoke too soon. Sort of.

Completed the ???? of Umineko episode 5... Holy shit. What a turnabout. Even though I accidentally discovered some spoilers earlier, this was still an amazing read. This is the way the rest of episode 5 should have been... is what I would like to say, but without the ugly parts from the main story of episode 5, I guess the ending in ???? wouldn't have been as satisfying.

By the end of it, I was thinking about how I wanted this to be made into a brand new season of Umineko, done by a better team of animators this time. All that drama and suspense is perfect for an anime.

Definitely looking forward to episode 6. Can't wait!  But for now - I have to complete Nemu's route in euphoria.

Going to start reading Koiken Otome , really do not know what to expect , so that will be fun 

[littleshogun]

Play Supipara, and will write a little review about this later in Supipara discussion thread.

Yeah, Sister Mishima is great.  I find the idea of a nun that flirts and makes perverted jokes hilarious.

What do you think about it so far?  I thought the plot was standard crappy drama, pretty forgettable and cliche in most places, but I really liked a couple of the characters, and Chiho's route was overall pretty solid compared to the others.  What route do you plan on doing first?

 

Just got past the part that Sister Mishima was joking around near the lake. Dammit Masaya! Make her eyes truly sparkle for you!! ... was my only thought. Would've been nice to see her in something else than her nun outfit though

I'm probably going with Ayaka first. I like the heroines that are playful/teasing/fun and then I'll do Chiho. She doesn't seem like other Childhood friend's yet compared to the few ones I've played so far, so that's nice. I'm expecting some of the usual HSDrama with her route though, as for Ayaka, I'm not really sure, but I'd like to show up the headmistress, so maybe Ritsuko's 3rd. I'm actually saving at points in the beginning for both Ayaka and Chiho's routes, which is why it's probably taken me so long to finish the prologue before getting into their route.
If Tamie had a route, she'd be first though. I wanna wear her hat.

My friend told me to read Ever17 and if I don't like it I should just die. (he's a bit tsundere)

So yeah, I guess I'll be reading it, it was a pain to get it to run without crashing.

Good luck. I just started myself, so let's compare thoughts later

after fate bled my soul dry I just wanted something a bit more lighthearted, I was thinking I might finally read Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort since it has been installed in my pc for quite a few months now but instead I started kamidori which I remember being way lower rated on vndb, I barely started it <actually now that I look at the time I played it for a bit > but it's alright, being an actual game really helps

The routes are pretty cringeworthy, but the gameplay itself is fairly engrossing (and the CGs are pretty decent). I poured a ton of hours into that game~

[Decay]

I thought you were talking about Koisuru having engrossing gameplay and I got very confused for a second.

you lucky fucks are in one hell of a ride. Stick with it, the true route is INSANE.

 

oh btw I finished Zero Time Dilemma and it's one of the biggest disappointments of my life right after myself

[Vorathiel]

I did it. I finally did it.
I haven't feel so free since I drop out of college.
I had this heavy, smelly, disgusring turd on my shoulders since 18.03.
Almost 5 full months.
But I did it.

Today I finished the most unfunny comedy with the most terribly written story and most boring introduction ever.
I finished reading Grisaia no Kajitsu.


It wasn't entirely terrible. I gave it full 5/10. Here is my spreadsheet if anybody's interested.

Spoiler

Major issue? Mr Fujisaki Ryuuta. Maybne he has a good 'prose', and really had a few nice ideas (whole Amane backstory for example). But he definitely don't know how to write. He's focusing on completly nonimportant parts of scenes/situations, and what is really good, he simply shortens to few 'microretrospect' sentences ("So in the end it was just this and then that and that was all."), but I wasted enough of my time to ranting about his style of writting in my past posts in this thread.

Also - comedy doesn't clicked with me at all. Only one funny character was Makina, but even her get bored after 30+ hours of same pseudo jokes over and over again.

Time to take care of another turd I left in limbo - second unique route of Killer Queen.

Your playthrough almost resembled martyrdom. At times I was almost worried you wouldn't make it through. Your sacrifices shall not be forgotten...

So, what about Grisaia no Meikyuu now?!

*ducks*

[Vorathiel]

Actually I will wait for 18+ patch and at someday I will read it.  I'm actually interested in Michiru hair colour and how stupid Makinas' new employment will be.
Also main story is written by Ryuuta, so I know it will be bad... And I kinda like bad things. In Adam Sandler movies style. So bad that's funny.
All those h scenes with all those characters... backstory to them just must be hilariously terrible and ridiculous.  So I'm interesded in what he came up with to shoehorn them.

Also I heard that final act of the trilogy is full action packed Jamesy Bondy style schlock (with harem h scenes), so this will be fun as well (in one way or another).

Look at him being all passive-agressive

I just finished reading Koiken Otome , and here is a mini-review 

Story-7/10-I actually liked the common route and Someya Yuzu route , even if it was pretty generic.

Art-6/10- it was descent 

OST-4/10-i kind of disliked a little of the ost of this vn.

so this visual novel is a 5.6/10

Thank you for reading this.

Trying to finish up Sharnoth, but I can barely make myself play it. I loved Ingaock so much, but this...this is boring. I'm at Act 9 of 10 almost...and I know nothing more than I knew in Act 1/2. It's basically not advanced at all.

[Canicheslayer]

Finished the first chapter of Supipara. As I expected, the Art is more than awesome (all the girls are terribly cute), and the OST is good. Unfortunately the setting, the scenario, the story left me perplexed, clearly unsatisfied...Where is the drama ?

Yeah, I was underwhelmed by the story arc. It was really slow, and the drama was lacking too, so there just wasn't really much meat to it. The ending implied that a lot more was going on, though, so hopefully it will get better? If not, that's a real shame, because the characters are really charming and I would love to see more done with them. If anything, I know I'll pick up the next one if only for more Alice .

[bogdankl]

the demons are stripping when I hit them... but I'm not complaining, also I invested 15 hours and I'm just halfway through chapter 2 :)) this is gonna take a while

[SCG_1037]

Going to start reading Sickness , do not know what to expect .

In ef, I prefered the first part (plus Chihiro's chapter) But yes, after one day of reflection, I think Supipira's first part was a sort of introduction.

[SCG_1037]

Finished reading sickness.

Story-5/10- meh , it was nothing special.

art-5/10-it was ok

ost-6/10- i liked some of the ost , but it was mostly bland.

so this visual novel is a 5.3/10

Thank you for reading this.

[Vorathiel]

To all those who don't really love first Chapter of Supipara - remember that Mangagamer version is only a half of 'Story 1' from original Japanese release. Just sayin.

[Asimmacovski]

After reading for 3 days straight I finished Ever17. It's one of those VNs which I start to read and suddenly it's 1 am and I notice that I've been reading for 4-5 hours straight. First thing that I noticed was that it doesn't waste my time. I started reading and in less than an hour, BAM you're trapped. Enjoy! There is no long and boring common route story for the characters which can sometimes kill a VN's enjoyment for me. The story captures you and doesn't let you go until the end. Another thing that I really liked were the philosophical questions. It reminded me of how much I loved Ghost in the Shell's philosophical aspect. I enjoyed Sora's route the most, maybe it's because of the VA Hiroko Kasahara (Phorni from Symphonic Rain). Overall Ever17 was a great read and it's been a while since I enjoyed reading through a VN without getting bored.

As for my next read... I guess I'll give Canvas 2 a try.

Sora was the best girl/AI/OS ever!  

And lol its rare to find someone who enjoyed the common route of Ever17.
