Darklord Rooke Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Well when you’re talking about a competition between two plotless, pointless, crappily written/translated, only-exists-to-provide-fanservice games, the one with the better art will usually win. Especially when they cost the same. So you’d EXPECT Nekopara to win comfortably. Quote

Zakamutt Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I'd say something about Huniepop not being a Sekai Project thing, but they're prolly going to do the same thing for Sunrider Academy... so I guess in the end, I'm not sure if there is much of one. That said, the Huniepop guy did say it was in the agreement he made with Steam. Somewhat of a different situation? Quote
Getsuya Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Which do you think will run out first, the mediocre Steam VNs or the 'hilarious' joke reviews of them on their Steam pages? Reading those is more entertaining than the games themselves (having only experienced Sakura Spirits and part of Sakura Angel). (Also how do I join your faction person above me? I must belong to this faction) Quote
SanadaShadow Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 ...I don't get it. Is the game really that bad? One of my friends keeps pestering me to take his copy and play it. Quote
Getsuya Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Mainly they're just mediocre and cheaply made. The writers don't really know what they're doing besides cribbing a bunch of tropes from your average VNs, and the artists are just kind of off doing their own thing. I guess my main problem was the disconnect between the art and the story, really. In Sakura Spirit one of the girls is clearly supposed to be much younger than the way they drew her. The main character switches from being super prissy and pure-hearted around the older sister to joking around about being in love with the younger sister to almost creepy levels. It's clear from the way he talks to the younger sister that he thinks of her (at first) as being way too young to seriously be considering, but in the art she's not even remotely young-looking so it just comes across as the main character bizarrely flip-flopping between two personalities, one pure and one creepy and weird. But what takes the cake is in Sakura Angel when the text says 'and then she grew wings out of her back' and the character potrait doesn't change. He sits there talking about her wings while she sits there with no wings whatsoever in the art. So, basically they're just budget titles and you get what you pay for. Quote

Zakamutt Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (Also how do I join your faction person above me? I must belong to this faction) 1. publicly declare your love for yuri (done) 2. create a yuri faction signature (a collage of yuri pics is advised) 3. in truth, the yuri faction lies within your heart, as all wonderful things do *sparkles* Quote
Satsuki Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 The fact that I'm playing a yurige right now is enough, I guess Quote
Satsuki Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 What yurige? I need it...for science. Just take a look at my signature. It's this one. Quote
