Visual Novel Thread

I was playing Aquapazza recently and decided to try out To Heart 2 after seeing the characters in the game. Turns out that 1 guy has been translating, editing, and proofreading the whole game alone for nearly a decade and he's almost finished. The translation is 100% complete and he's 80% done with proofreading. He has a beta out for anyone that wants to play through it.

Earlier today I got the ISO from Erogedownloader and applied the patch. Took ages so I uploaded it to MEGA. Here's an english patched To Heart 2. Seemed to work fine when I ran it on Windows 7.

Ok, I guess this is the perfect thread to ask: What's it more worth of my time Grisaia No Kajitsu the VN or the anime?

Thank you Jesus. Massive relief that he's still alive and kicking on his old site. I was resolving myself to going in raw with my dogshit skills, but this will save me the trouble. I'll just wait like an EOP until this beautiful man is finished.

**These threads don't need an always-up general. Knock it off.

Fugg I forgot my second pair of spoiler stars. Sage for showing such an unseemly display. Please bully.

Not vidya.

I don't really mind. The catalog is large enough that nothing truly important is getting knocked off by one anyway.
That being said, Sekai has licensed Teaching Feeling so it will likely never be finished and when it is, it will likely suck

Definitely the VN. The anime takes nearly every route and tries to make a common route out of them while condensing a 50+ hour VN into 13 or so episodes. For that reason, it's a mess. Seeing the characters in motion is nice though.


They're one of the few decent threads on Holla Forums where people actually discuss what they like and go into depth when explaining things. This is the second one I've made. The first was months back when I started them up again.
I can see why you don't want them to be something like a general though. VNs take time to read and rely on plot to discuss most of the time. However, these threads are very slow to the point of lasting more than a week each time. They nearly rival the Vita threads in longevity.

gtfo weaboo trash

pls no

The VN itself isn't too great though, it tries to pull a YMK for looking at troubled girls but the plot seems so convoluted and wacky that it's hard to take seriously.
The quality of the TL doesn't help either.

...

(((Sekai Project))) will always deserve those echoes.


I've never read the official translation so I don't know how it compares to the fan one. Its strongest point is when you're going down no route. Where it's a relaxing and fun slice of life with charming characters balancing out Yuuji's "muh war trauma" moments. How old is this guy supposed to be anyway? For all these events to happen to him, you would think he would be somewhere in his mid 20s at least.

Post pirn please

The official translation is the the fan translation.


here u go

Is Dies Irae porn patch out yet?

Is there a Holla Forums recommended list of VNs?

...

What a fucking nightmare


Oh God, someone post the edits of it

Fuck I remember those Fillet of Fish edits

And yeah, Sekike licensed it so it's going to be released gimped, with porn removed, and with shitty translations. Completely removing the point of the game

I've said it before and I'll say it again, never ever buy anything from Sekai Project.

This is coming from someone who had their project picked up by them and it never got released. This was before I knew anything about them too, so I'll chalk it up to experience.

If you don't mind, I'd really love to hear about that. I made the OP Sekai image and I'm always looking to add to the list of their kikery.

There was also an edit of this classic and it was somehow even more fitting and hilarious.

I'm surprised that you didn't copy it last time I had my rant here. Basically I got picked up as a translator from fuwa a years back, worked with a fan group for awhile, sekai offered our group money to publish our translation. Since I wasn't the boss, I just took the money thinking "great we're gonna get published" but what wound up happening was that they just held on to the work we did - basically what they do is they pick on small fan translation groups, make them sign an NDA, throw them X amount of dollars per role, and hold on to the IP. It sucks because essentially what they do is hunt out works in progress, get the rights from JP company, and then buy you out, essential eliminating any and all competition and what they rely on is naive fan translators with good intentions, who really want to get the game out there for people to play, and they just snip the bud before it even gets to blossom. It why I quit doing translations, besides my own for fun, it really gave me a sour taste as a way to make some money in this field. Fortunately I know some people in the VN industry in Japan, having worked part time as a translator for a hentai company when I lived over there, so if I wanted to actually try and gets rights to a translation I could. I wish there were actually people that were more serious about translating games and getting them out there, I mean there is a huge market for it, and it would be really nice to share a lot of really good stories/games that are out there that only people that understand Japanese could play.

I disagree on this one here. Fan translation was always going to be better than any attempt to monetize it since fan translators did it out of passion, thus obscure works got translated more often and with higher quality. The "market" for people to actually pay for these is slim: The Sakura games and other Steam shit was flavor of the month for a while but it really dropped off once people realize how low quality it was. Sekai is mostly sustained on kikestarter cash, and I'd love to see their financials because last I recall they weren't doing too hot.
I think getting VNs out there is good but Sekai did it at the expense of the community and basically destroyed what took ages to build up. They're the worst kikes imaginable.

What's their view on English translation? Do they see it as a serious source of revenue or just an after-the-fact pleasure project?
And why don't you use your god-given powers to warn people about Sekai and cut off the source of the kikes power?

...

I think the people at Fuwanovel would no full well how much SP poses a problem to the scene.

WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK

Postin' some classics

Is that all it takes to be a classic now?
Post an image every thread?

If you read the pics you'd see they were anons explaining and shredding bad VNs. The other one is examining Nasu's old obsession with undersea sexuality. The third one is just a gag not a classic

At moments like this I wish that I knew Japanese. Guess I'll just play it for the CG.

...

That is the greatest name for a video game I will ever see in my life.

Is anyone else here waiting for the Amagami translation since the game was released and regretting not having started learning Japanese back then?

Also, if anyone has that Tsukihime alternative OST with Aphex Twin, Hybrid, Orbital etc. that was posted on 4chan back when the translation patch was still fresh, please share it since I lost the files.

THERE IS A LINE BETWEEN LOLI AND GENUINE CHILD WHICH CANNOT BE CROSSED AND WE HAVE MOST THOROUGHLY CROSSED IT'

Just filter the toddlercon person.

Since VNs have absolutely no gameplay, shitposting is more appealing and entertaining.

I mean could go with at least something like huniepop where there's match three babbi's first gameplay.

May as well state that Blazblue is a vn because of it's story mode.

well then I repeat my statement, why is this thread not on >>>/a/ where it would fit perfectly?

because VNs are an interactive entertainment medium you autistic attention whore

I'm not the one bumping this shit thread.

>why is this thread not on >>>/a/
Because the denizens of this board are kind and just people. Seriously though, I wouldn't wish 8/a/ on Redditors, Gaia, goybook normalfags, or literally any other bogeymans you can think of.

Well I can't understand jack but the girls are so cute, little and plump, god bless you Japan.

Go bitch at Mark in the meta thread if you really have that big a problem with it. He's gone out of his way to explicitly add visual novels being allowed to the rules page, so good luck.

That's fair, but IMO at least don't bump a thread that contains no actual gameplay. I mean, the OP had one nice grille and then it just devolved into plausibly deniable CP.

Mark is a weeaboo faggot and is Mark, so I don't think I would be successful in that endeavor.

Uhh user, I can post some screens if you want me to.

Talk is cheap faggit

Well I mean if there's at least discussion instead of just

shitty porn then there's a reason for the thread to exist. Also this
I mean, go for it. Actually get some discussion without samefagging.

So how hard will it be to get into Mask of Truth if I have only watched the anime? I know there's going to be a lot of details I missed out on, but for the most part it should be fine, right?

Well, since it uses RPG Maker VX Ace I managed to make the game work on my phone so I can properly enjoy it under the sheets.

...

There is practically no gameplay, the RPG engine just serves to deliver the story.

That's kinda the point. The whole avatarfagging aside he picked the worst, low effort engine short of twine and an unbelievably shitty example for either rpg maker VNs AND/OR VNs with actual gameplay.

>Visual novels
sage for off-topic

Hmm okay? What do you mean by avatarfagging?

WE HAVE IDs HERE YOU NEWCUCK IDIOT
GET OUT


Dude stop this is freaking me out


Protag has amnesia in the game so you actually know even more than most players would know.


We expected Euphoria
We got Mr.NotImportant the Hedgheg

You know, speaking of, is there another character so smug and pure?

What do you even call this kind of character, anyway? Smugdere?

It's more of a shit eating grin :^)

haha

...

I'm… gonna stay away.

How about you go fellate yourself somewhere else? But I guess it serves me right over coming to this garbage thread instead of taking a nap or something.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would he have amnesia again? What happens between the end of the anime and start of the sequel to cause that?

It's a gauntlet that tries to break you, user, but if you keep going you'll break through to see a genuinely great good decent story.
Ara Cake should have been a merc from a rival company that helped the protag rescue Nemu right then and there instead of the long and mostly pointless epilogue just to get TardNemu. It would've been a simpler and better ending with just a quick fix. Also, you know, not leaving your cult daughter to rot away from madness in a twisted medical facility…

HAHA What? Wait, he had amnesia in the show, too?
I'll be honest I don't know anything about the game since apart from gameplay I've heard there's little choice in things and how they play out like a kinetic VN. That said, all I know is the protag has amnesia in the first of the two games: Mask of Deception.
Then the continuation is Mask of Truth, which came out recently.

I SAID NOT VIDYA

Yes, he starts with amnesia in the anime. I am asking about what major differences there may be between the anime and the first game in regards to going into the second without playing the first. What would I need to know from the first game that wasn't in the anime?

>"Your childhood sweetheart, the bride, and the wife, meet and rape all of them!"
There's titles which bring a smile to your face and then there's pure classic hentai titling

That Enzai - Falsely Accused one looks good.
Don't know why you'd suggest Prison Battleship since Black Lilith is predominantly for cuckolds.

NOPE
First of all, it's a MOBA isn't it? Bunch of RNG and card deck building like that Fate Grand Order nonsense.
Second of all, and far more importantly, it's Taimanin. Never EVER go Taimanin. I know Chaos Arena is much less filled with abject garbage but it's just not worth it in the end.

I got tricked into speeding through Taimanin 3 and I refuse to touch anything from that series ever again. I'm no cuck.

Ah okay. Well I can't help you there, mate. Sorry.

Get through it. You aren't meant to enjoy it. I think.

...

Shitty RPGmaker games shouldn't have such good gameplay and a feels ending like that.

This made by the Monstergirl Quest guy?
Why does it look like the story is a bit…more involved this time around?

dont know

it really makes you think.

Have you played Paradox yet?

What? Where did this come from? I don't remember this! This didn't exist before!

It's like Dragon Quest V mixed with Final Fantasy III and it's fuckhuge.
>>>/hgg/101715
>>>/monster/290733

Eh? If you played MGQ 1-3 as they were translated you'd be aware of the existence of Paradox as this is the project that Dargoth picked up who was also working on translating other MG games.

How would having played the previous games make him aware of Paradox? I didn't find out about Paradox until nearly the whole first chapter was translated.

Key words being "as they were translated" if you were there for it starting on cuckchan Holla Forums and later for the split going onto /vg/ people would talk about the games while playing them this led to seeing other games too like "Violated Hero" and then the guy who was giving us VH translations started on Paradox.

If you were there you'd know. That's all.

I know because dropped translating the MG school game for Paradox which was sad.

You don't have to actively discuss a bunch of other games being translated by Dargoth in order to play MGQ 1-3 as the complete English patches are released.

No I think understand. Is the whole thing translated? I don't like investing myself that deeply until I know I can reach the end.

Part one has 76% of the total text translated. What isn't translated is
You can access and read most of the sex scenes in the game. All of the main story, items, menus are translated. I'd say go for part one as it is. They are not releasing a complete patch just for part 1 and are instead opting to change the way the patch is implemented so they can speed up the process as well as have the patch work on the combined parts 1 & 2.

Also check Dargoth.com for info and updates.

Any of you play Rinkaiten Critical Point?

This seems like something I'd enjoy. is it any good?

Everything else is just a bonus.

I remember going through 2 or 3 routes of Critical Point some time ago. It's really fun. It has pretty good writing, there are some innocent looking plot points that end up having a big impact later on. And yes the military women on the space station are VERY horny. It gets my recommendation.

>mfw don't even know if I can do that with the new version of the PS2 I was forced to get old one stopped working

Do I need to have played the first?

Sounds amazing. Where can I get a copy?

I'm pretty sure that any PS2 model can be modded somehow, I have one of the latest Slim models that Sony released with a modchip.

Literally the whole reason I picked the game up. I kept seeing her smug ass face in MangaGamer ads and I wanted to break it. Now I want to protect it.


Honestly, half of the most extreme content is so ridiculous as to be comical. And you can turn off the really extreme shit in the options menu. I'm pretty sure it's just the CGIs that get hidden but you can just skip through the scene manually. I would recommend leaving it on regardless of whether you like that content or not; you don't have to fap to it if you don't want to.

The only thing that still bothers me in retrospect was the ending where you unleash the beast inside. It's not "I'm gonna puke" gross, it's existentially disturbing.

No

share a torrent link nigger

I downloaded it from here onlyhgames.com/sennyuu-iku-iku-school/

erogedownload.com/downloads/critical-point/

Luckily it's under 200 MB's so you don't have to deal with the pain it usually is to download from that site.

Man, they translated like 3 kamige (Rance, Himawari, Dies Irae and now Subahibi uncensored even) this year, sad I don't even time to play them.

Did you guys know monster girl quest got a Hentai?

hentaihaven.org/monster-girl-quest-episode-1/

the mainline bb games are on vndb
vndb.org/v5381
vndb.org/v6572

vndb.org/v17959
So you could make a weak argument they are

That's just sad. VNDB sure did go downhill

Patreon trash games tend to do that. Just because it's made with renpy means it auto qualifies for a post, even if it's 0.0.1

why dont you play it on pc? you can insert your ps2 disk and use it on the emulator.

Trying to complete Rance 6, finished with the main story and the extra missions after it. On the final boss fight now and I just can't seem to do anything to this faggot. That black destruction beam is overpowered as fuck, can barely interrupt its casting or immobilize. How do these fags?

Still allowed here.

Here's your bump. So long and thanks for all the fish. Also remember that traps are gay.

I'm starting to suspect that Sekike will never release this masterpiece.

user you are fucking retarded, 2D isn't children and you should fucking kill yourself for ever implying that, that's literally BBC tier logic.

It's up to fan translators, mate…if it ever gets any.


On another note, here's "Nemurenu Hitsuji to Kodoku na Ookami -A Tale of Love, and Cutthroat-"
It's an upcoming ClockUp title, but that said,
>Prostitute Heroine
Dead before launch.

Personally I can't see how there is ever a reason to not have virgin cakes as heroines. Ever.

I'm sorry user.

it really depends of how well the write them.

I've always had a soft spot for robots. Going back and forth from cute robot antics to post apocalyptic stuff (which I also love) kept it varied and interesting to the end. Are there any other sad VNs out there like this? Also any others with robot girls? This is definitely my favorite so far.

You'll remember Lucy, won't you?
vndb.org/v16743

What is this? FOX News?

He sperged out for fucking hours at me for posting a bunch of loli pics, I think he might have issues that he is projecting onto me.

they made some ovas and a movie if you want to relive all that again.
also i think there is a vn about a little robot girl that you will fail to protect her smile, maybe its this one im not sure.

This entire thread and anyone in it is garbage and everything should be purged by holy fire.

Calm down user, have a headpat.

It will… 2 Peter 3:10-13
PETTANKO ARE NOT LOLI
LOLI ARE NOT TODDLER
2D IS NOT 3D

The difference is in the age, head and hips. A pettanko is basically a midget with birthing hips. Usually tsundere.

A loli is a "little" girl, either in age or height - but they don't have the proportions of a pettanko, especially in the hips. THIS is also the final line of tolerance.

A toddler is a child. It's an innocent, little kid or even baby. You are now a depraved individual and no one sympathizes with you except for other depraveds. It's time to stop before you get a fetal fetish.

...

Nah, fuck off fag.

Mogudan was fantastic at aping Eva's artist's style but doing his own thing at the same time. Too bad all the classic artists are gone away. The idea that Urushihara is nothing more than a cover artist now is infuriating.

This one looks cool


haha You know, you say that but I'm sure that exists


You're so brave to be here despite being legally blind.

Shitty meme game partnered with a shitty meme localizer. It's a perfect match.

user who did probably hasn't posted. I got you covered this time.

This thread doesn't belong on Holla Forums - FUCKING VIDEO GAMES

About to … this CHILD, i'm such a MONSTER, the horror…Oh wait, it's a fucking drawing.
Haven't unlocked every scene yet btw.

Best scene in the game if you ask me, I must be legally blind not to see that otherwise, it's all about proportions after all!

Holla Forums - vidya, VNs and fun

I think pettanko is just a thin body with a flat chest. They don't have to have great hips but it's not loli either. Also just filter shitposters. No need to even reply if you already know they won't add anything to the discussion.


Wait that's Mogudan? The same guy that draws absurdly curvy Rei porn? I think I can see it in the faces.

Just another case of great artists deciding to go/remain hip-deep into NTR trash…

Pretty sure that VN is a very old work from Mogudan, though, and it's a JRPG hybrid title with actual gameplay and vanilla so it could be worth it. Maybe.
Yeah. You can tell the guy studied Sadamoto's style to some extent. He has his own style when it comes to the eyes and hands but the shading is very similar, as are the sharper details.

Pettanko simply literally means "flat".
Lolis are small and flat. I guess if it's a giant with a flat chest, that could technically count as "pettanko" but not a loli. But if it's a small and flat girl, that's a loli for sure.

>but they don't have the proportions of a pettanko, especially in the hips
Pettanko is literally just small breasts you raging autist. It has nothing to do with the rest of the body. All normal lolis are pettanko unless they're some deformed oppai loli.

Can anyone recommend me some really good romance VNs that will make me feel?

you know, Mark says a lot of stupid shit, that doesn't make it true, user

Damn download quota, i got to 42% before reaching the limit.

Why are you even downloading that way? Doesn't Jdownloader completely bypass that?

Use Megadownloader dummy

If you use Jdownloader2 you can download the whole thing even if you hit the limit. It will stop any other download though.


Take your pic. Read up on it in VNDB, and go from there.

I'll see

Doesn't work anymore.

Actually, I would say go with To Heart 2 or Clannad. You can find Clannad on IGG and To Heart 2 in the OP.

It was working a few days ago…

Nevermind, JDownloader2 works and now i look like a retard.

I'm downloading Kagetsu Toya and will be reading Fate/HA. I want to read Mahoya but there's no translation. I'm not reading Stay Night because it's too long and there's anime to watch instead if I'm curious.

Fate anime is rubbish.

Visual novels are not for you

Oh shit. Download exceed again in Jdownloader2. Dunno what to do now, do i need a special plugin or something?

So this is the VN with girls with mental issues? Whenever I'm done with more Type-Moon, I might pick this up and then Muv-Luv in space.

I'm playing ToHeart2. After an extremely uneventful morning, theme music plays and the screen goes black the entire time. Is it supposed to do that? Is this just a completely generic highschool dating sim?

Well while on the subject, what are some of the ones Sekai have picked up and are pretty much never going to release? Even some ones that were shitty translations would do, just after names.

Maitetsu

Let's not joke and accidentally meme this into truth.

Are there any other comfy games like atelier?

In retrospect, reading Fate/Stay Night was a waste of time for me. I'm too old to be its supposed audience in the first place. If he isn't a teenager, he is better off picking something else too.

I had "bandwidth exceeded" in it after only 2GB DL'd two days ago.

...

I'm not a shiteating retard, no. I know full well it'll be butchered.

I just don't give a shit because I'm not paying a cent for it, and I'll patch it, read the lewds in Nip if need be, and everything will be fine. I just need those monkeys to do most of the work because my Japanese is too poor for such an undertaking.

Why do people like this emotional savagery? The guy's wife dies, his little girl dies, everything is in ruins and he gets to make the choice to go through it again or not and chooses to do it because it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

...

...

I still cant get over Clannad's art
Little Busters is fine in comparison despite the art being made by the same artist

Certainly better than Nasus shitpiece.

Sounds about right. Shameful, but right.

Grotesque

Why can't we just have proper kyonyuu heroines - but with something other than nukige?
Are voluptuous cakes always going to get the short-stick in favor of school girls?

Chubby milfs are my fetish

Post the uncensored version

A fleshy Ara is a great Ara but that's too much, man. You need more figure in her shape so that the plumpness stands out properly.

Pic related is a great example of exaggerated proportions and plump without sacrificing shape.
Too bad this one's from a kinetic nukige - even worse than usual nukige - making it utterly worthless. Waste of a character design.
Though her feet are comically small.

Another couple of examples. Lune does great with this sort of thing but it's pretty–
You know what? This is an entirely different artist, company, VN, and all but even here the feet are ridiculously tiny. What is this? Why do all shapely busty kyonyuu cakes have such excruciatingly tiny feet?

Who cares about their feet?

Nah it's just an observation. Kinda funny, really.

But there's always some feet user hiding in the background, user. Don't forget.

So when are we going to talk about the best western VN ever made?

Not allowed on Holla Forums

fucking mark letting normalfags run the place

Henrike best girl How about we list some noteworthy western VNs. There is obviously babbys first VN katawa shoujo but what are the others and are there some actual good ones?

It's deleted now

Stay in here and you'll be fine.

Fucking brilliant, im about to make a RPG general :DDDDD

Yep.

Don't act and pretend like you aren't the triggered moralfag that derailed the UAB thread.

I wonder…?

>>>/out/

Why haven't you played the best eroge yet?

How is Hanahira?

I wanted to play this but the protag is such a jackass I can't get into it. He's a hateful jerk who deserves every bad end.

No but really what I want are character (or a character) like pic related in a story like or something really good. Just not nukige.
Why can't we get writing at least on Collar X Malice's level but with cakes instead of bishis?
Though to be fair, even most Otome titles aren't all that well written from what I've seen.

Where to download Monobeno?

Alright, this one sounds funny: Shigokare ~Ecchi na Joshi Daisei to Doki x2 Love Lesson!!~

Looks like someone's trying to explain why the protagonist is a delayed retard.
This has a lot of potential to be really heart-moving but probably won't.

What's the source of the picture of the girl?

Collar x Malice

I think he meant the dark elf

What's the source of the picture of the girl?>>13401033

Yeah, I meant the dark elf, sorry if I was vague

OH, it's not in English. Here's the thread: 8ch.net/hgg/res/73081.html#74338

>>>/hgg/73081

fuck, i need to play that game.

Why on earth would you do this? The good Stay Night anime (Ufotable's Unlimited Blade Works adaptation) only covers one of the routes, and it isn't even the main world-building route. You will not fucking understand Hollow Ataraxia without reading Stay Night.

And don't even think about watching the Deen anime, or watching Zero before Stay Night. The former is complete trash and the latter spoils way too much.

Too late. I've already watched Zero. I've played the PSP/Vita game so I already know the basics of the battle royal setting. There's nothing SN has to offer me other than old, stale memes. I'm more of a Shiki fan anyway.

I played Teaching Feeling hoping it would be a daughterfu simulator. Now I am blueballed. Someone suggest me a VN where I can have a surrogate daughter, or, at the very least, a pure lover.

Princess Maker

You should still read Stay Night first, or you won't get the full picture of each character. Hollow Ataraxia is first and foremost fanservice for people that liked Stay Night there's also an actual plot but it's secondary and much shorter than the rest of the VN. You won't be able to really appreciate characters like Rider without knowing Heaven's Feel.

I've heard of that before. Is it anything like Long Live the Queen? I liked that, but I wish it were longer.

Don't bother trying to reason with secondaries.


It's much better than LLtQ, since it's an actual sim game rather than a "guess which choice kills you" game.

Great! Where should I begin? Release date?

Princess Maker 2. There's an old DOS release with a good translation, but it's a beta so some endings are unfinished; and there's a new Steam release with a not-so-good translation, but "updated" graphics.

Holy shit, they're actually charging people 10$ per game and an additional 10$ just for fucking soundtrack. It's times like these I don't feel guilty about being a pirate.

also no birthday suit for your daughter, its best to play the original since it has everything

That's not part of the original game unless you use the cheat code anyway.

cheats are part of the game, also you win the dancing contest, if you use it, because art.

You mean the one where the guy is killed in various ways. I'm good.


Pretty much this. 2 has alot of good stuff and 1 & 3 were released recently. Here's hoping that release 4 someday, that has good art.

I'm having trouble thinking of any.

I was surprised at how good UAB actually is. I went in expecting memes and loli porn and what I got was some really great writing and humor, with lolis as a bonus. It ended up being one of my favourite VNs.
We're never gonna get a sequel are we? And I'll never be able to hug Annemarie

Eww gross, wish I could refund the game now.

UAB and Everlasting Summer are two

I'm still waiting for the bastard to finish translating KuruKuru Fanatic, which was apparently 90% translated a couple years ago, though i heard that he dropped everything and now there is unfinished patches floating around in hopes someone will finish translating it.

What *are* some good Otome titles you can play on the pc? I want a change of pace.

...

OUT

I don't know, actually. CXM is Vita-only as I recall. Maybe MangaGamer has something.


Collar X Malice is great, dude. You're missing out.
Although Japan is utterly retarded when it comes to firearms and understanding the point of them. Everyone gets got in the hand like it's a Hollywood movie - unless they get shot in the chest, but only villains use their guns to s-s-shoot people!

eden* is pretty good. It sure made me shed some manly tears.

Art looks great but the whole "No PSP" thing puts a dampener on running it without an emulator.

Did you beat the game? I can't figure out what the fuck to do. I got all 15 girls and even killed the chicken, but the game never ends. Supposedly, you're supposed to be able to clear the game so that you can see the three new scenes added in 1.10.

I've been reading through steins;gate 0.
It's pretty good so far, altough, I'm not so sure if i'm happy with them turning okebe into a normalfag. not like he'll stay that way
I haven't finnished reading it yet, but i'm getting there.

Unrelated I might be mistaking this vn thread with a /hgg/ thread, so if i'm posting my thoughts about this in the wrong place i'll be sure to leave peacefully.

nah, VNs are oftern lewd so porn discussion is common in these threads.
Ive read about half of zero before stopping, my god the bad end completely ruins it for me, I cant look at some characters anymore without thinking that I wasnt supposed to be spoiled by the bad end.
Ill probably finish it before Elite comes out, hopefully it will get a PC port in 2018.

was obviously meant for

Understandable.
The only reason why i'm still going is because I find the whole A.I premise interesting.
But seeing okebe traumatised and all the other characters being sad makes the whole thing painful to read.

Honestly, the further i go the more i wish i was playing the orignal.

The game is actually really good, the thing is that everybody at the time even recommended to read the bad end fist, no idea why.
I personally dont mind the tonal shift at all, even the first one had it midway through.

The game is great, the tonal shift just hits a little hard in the feels.

They're absolutely mad.

To the user that recommended me Dal Segno in another thread. Thank you. This VN is comfy and fun ride so far. Io seems to be best girl and Yamato is way more entertaining than the MC understands.

Io is great but im thinking the notimouto is my favorite one.
I mean how clingy can you be, its fucking adorable

Any English VNs with a tanned waifu?

This changes everything

Can't recommend anything but you can try looking for yourself.

Good for you, user. At least one of us got a good recommend. The thread before last was the worst for me in that.


WE NEED MORE FILTERS

okay

What were you recommended and what are you in the mood for?

Cakes and adult heroines with a good story (even if it's just vanilla).
I was recommended something that turned out to be horrible cuckoldry

JUST

can anyone post sauce of the german loli vn pls

As a fan of cakes and vanilla, I feel you


ich bin pico

No wonder so many people couldn't recommend you much. Cakes are very rare in VNs. Especially ones that you can romance. Most of the time they just tease you and you get no option to romance them. And if you do find one, it's moon only.

Something like this.
vndb.org/v21407

Here's something in english but good luck finding a quality story in a nukige.
vndb.org/v116

I'm pretty sure that's getting it backwards. Unless I'm mistaken, the people who read NTR self-insert as the cuck, not the one doing the cucking. It's not evil, it's just retarded, as it embraces their lack of self-esteem. Blog: I know someone who deliberately gets women to cheat with him. According to him, it's not about making the other guy suffer, but about getting off on the power and ego boost of knowing that he's desirable enough to entice the woman to sleep with him even though she has a boyfriend. Who that guy is and how he feels is irrelevant. What matters is that he's better than him and has won out over him, in whatever sense. He actually prefers the idea of a traditional woman who wouldn't cheat, but is so disillusioned with them that he's begun contributing to the problem, which is as tragic as it is hilarious. Sage for blog and off-topic.

Yeah well what they did recommend me was asinine. But yes, that's the problem.
I don't know why Nips do this and I will never understand the kind of low T mentality that puts a good Ara into a story only to have you be utter incapable of getting her. Pic only slightly related

That first recommendation isn't exactly what I meant, but only because the proportions are too outlandish. I mean look at the size of those things! I mean more like vndb.org/v19982
- which, for a nukige, wasn't too bad. The protagonist is still utterly delusional but it was interesting to see a moral dilemma brought up in a nukige. Still hypnotism though

As for the English recommendation:
That's a heck of a way to open up.
Yeah, I can dig this. I guess it's like you said, my dream VN of Cakes + intricate narrative will never come true. Still, it's not rape or cuckoldry so I might look into it.


You make a good point but we can't discount the type of NTR aficionados who genuinely get off to horrible suffering, especially that of even the woman and man both.
You shouldn't be friends with swine, user. They are fit only for bacon.

That's the trouble with Japs, they have shitty taste on the whole. If you want something other than generic highschool girls you're unlikeley to find it outside of fetish nukige. Even the more basic things like tans and short hair are rare. The Japanese audience just really seems to hate variety.

There's a ton of cake/milf stuff in eromanga though. There's probably a good amount in VNs too, just ignored by translators.

I think it's more of the average person just not having good tastes. Imagine if the west drew as much porn as Japan and with the same level of quality. Do you expect to find good tastes all around? I doubt it myself (laws wouldn't help either. Some countries can't even have loli). Most of it would probably reflect Bangbros videos and situations.

That's a good point, 90% of everything is shit after all. It's been so many years since I've watched mainstream western porn that I often forget just how obnoxious it can be.
I guess we just have to be happy with what we've got.

Would you play it

Puts Cakes in it and I'm in.

What manga is this? I've definitely read it before, but I forgot.

Don't remember. Wish I knew.

You didn't mention any sort of cute girls at all, and the setting doesn't sound like it'd encourage any either. Sounds like shit.

Sounds great, would management be simple choices or a more in depth system (uses for money etc.) ? I'd like it either way though.

Its Mahoutsukai no Birthday, its a doujin

e-hentai.org/g/513301/f999389435/

Last one I saw remotely like that was not even vanilla but rape-focused nukige with Taimanin's artist (I like his art style, the eyes really interest me, but it's also a bit cardboard compared to stuff like Lune which tries to be a bit softer). Although that one was weird. The protagonist was a rapist sent to take over a school from an adoptive uncle who wanted to destroy the school's reputation since it was (unintentionally) overshadowing his school and he was gonna put a hit out on the protagonist if he didn't do it, so the protagonist goes in to rape the most important teachers (who all turn out to be virgins), but he has a plan of his own to ruin his uncle's reputation and somehow inherit the fortune he was rightfully due. Somehow. I don't know, I read it via machine translation.

It was weird since the beginning felt like a legitimate rape sequence every time, crying and shame and pain, etc. (just two of the five girls had that usual hentai-logic "No! Don't make me orgasm like a madwoman!" / "no is yes" vibe, the rest felt extremely uncomfortable). Then, as you "groom" them with repeated sexual advances they all grow to like it and it really feels more like vanilla with Master-Slave kink overtones at that point. The route I liked the most even had it end with the protag having married his "slave" and was having sex with her while she was pregnant with their second child and unlike in the heinous cuckoldry of Taimanin, there was no mention of an abortion. So in a sense it starts out with rape but ends with vanilla - classic hentai-logic.

I prefer 100% vanilla but I might take what I can get, I guess. The reason I gave up on doujin and manga is because of the swelling of NTR and hardcore rape which was only getting worse. The hentai-logic of "SUGOI! OCHINCHIN REACHES MY WOMB! NO~

Cool that you let us know

For someone to have good tastes, they either need to be introduced to many things in said medium or want to find it themselves. People who want to discover more will eventually have good tastes as they absorb more content (as long as they understand why it's good. Otherwise they're just blindly consuming). We most likely have shit tastes in something we don't explore much. I don't know shit about cars, so my taste with cars will be shit. Even if I did pick a good car, I wouldn't truly know why it's so good under the hood. As for porn, the average person doesn't expand past the few things that interests him/her. Therefore they'll never know what truly disgusts or excite them. I'll just quote myself from a post I made in the Sad Panda thread on /a/.

Last thread there was discussion about Uchikoshi's early days writing VNs. Since then I've had a chance to complete Never7 - the end of infinity. As far as I know it is his earliest VN, having been originally released in 2000. It isn't all that great. The character routes are 98% personal drama with stock character types. Later VNs he wrote have scientific and mystery story curiosities throughout the story to keep your interest. All the personal drama feels like filler on the way to the Shyamalan plot twist. A plot twist which is very poorly built up and lacks any narrative impact. The "twist" if you can even call it that is Schrodinger's Cat is a superpower that the MC can unknowingly use to rewrite reality. That spoiler makes the premise sound way cooler than it actually is. The plot is presented in the most lackadaisical manner possible when it should have been balls-to-the-wall crazy. Overall it's not the worst VN ever, just boring and forgettable. If you want M. Night Shyamalan plot twist wackiness, go straight to Ever17, Remember 11, or 999.

At that point, you may as well not even include sexual relationships. I think it would only hinder the game's possibilities. Not to mention that it is quite unrealistic, as a website like that would be subverted by every alphabet soup agency in the book.
5/10 start from scratch.

You are autistic

Yeah, he is. He's been posting in every VN thread lately and keeps making huge posts like that one, as well as reposting screencaps of random posts that he seems to think are great.
Just ignore him.

I think I'm close to finishing Kagetsu Toya. I think I need to find some more Len flags before getting an ending. The repetitive nature starts to drag after several times. Worst part is I haven't seen an H-scene yet. I dislike needing to use a guide and help on top of skipping and savescumming.

Why would you delete your sarcastic "Glad you told us that" post and post this instead? That's embarrassing. You already bumped the thread. Lie in it.


He's been doing this for decades. Anyone make any painfull long pseudo-science exposition in Never7?
Also
Good choice.

I heard Ever17 was superior though. Looking at those screens, though the classic 90's anime art style really gets me I honestly can't remotely imagine playing through with text boxes highlighted in rainbow.

There aren't many long technical explanations beyond relating what the Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment is. In the dialogue they made it clear that wishing for the cat to die or not neither works nor is the point of the experiment, but then turn right around and apply that to the main character. After learning about it he is then able to wish away all the other characters' problems because believing in his own ability makes it real. It's a lame ending. There are a lot of thriller and drama stories out there that take this concept and actually DO something with it. If Never7 began at the ending point and went from there with a story about the MC changing events and being forced to deal with the consequences, it would have made for a more compelling VN.

I never made such a post though

This was really fucking good, its been along time since I cried so hard for anything. The music and direction of it was so well done. I wish I would see it posted about here more; I never have. The epilogue felt like it had a small problem as instead of Taiichi telling the story of his friend's suicide completely, it stating that he told it again. Still good enough to feel the pang of sadness from it. 黒須ちゃん†寝る was a very good pun on the final part and I laughed quite hard.

It certainly would be…

Keep spreading awareness of it then. Most people won't try out something unless they're given a good reason to. Despite all the sources we have people still come here for recommendations instead of trying out something from the list and going with it. I've never heard anyone mention To Heart 2 in these threads before I brought it up in the OP. Maybe nobody knew there was an english translation.

A Sekai Project employee could be scouting these threads right now looking for a new project to ruin pick up and kickstart.

That sounds pretty terrible as I think the only English TL that is released is from fuwanovel. The only things I know about Sekai Project is that its mostly done by koreans and chinese and that the translation of Clannad was terrible. That is enough reason not to support them alone.

seconding this, lookin for small unique vn? look no further
Misato best grill

i remember playing this years ago. as shallow as it may be, my favorite part about this vn is that you basically get to and have to fuck all the girls except his mother to get to the ending are there any vns like that in the spoiler?

I can vouch for their translations being D grade work at best. Sekai Project localized Neko Para, and they made the huge mistake of allowing the player to see both the original text and the translation in the same dialogue box. 90% of the translation is just a bit off from what was said or ignores the character's speech pattern, and the 10% they got right in terms of meaning, they fuck up by making it sound unnatural in English.

>you basically get to and have to fuck all the girls except his mother to get to the ending I also found that pretty funny most of the time when I think about it. Though it didn't seem stupid or silly, it managed to pull this off very well and gave it a decent vibe.

I remember seeing that when it happened in a thread. I wasn't aware it was Sekai Project that had done that though. Fucking Chinese and Koreans, why do they always fuck things up like this.

Source on that pic m8!

If the thing had remained a fan project we'd have all of it by now, with a better translation. Fuck these lazy kikes.

Can you guys recommend a game/visual novel that appeal to my loneliness?

Katawa shoujo is an example. I just want to meet cute 2D girls, interact with them and feel more close to someone/something. Extra kudos if it involves some kind of gameplay other than just clicking next.

Good art is a must.

Unteralterbach

That's not how that word is used.

Have played it already, I need something new.

Dal Segno is pretty comfy as mentioned in this thread, one of the girls is already in love with you from the beginning of the game.
Majikoi is amazing, there's definitely a theme of bonding both romantically and as friends.

Thank you, bro.

That image was from a thread before Valkyria Revolution was released. The game is trash in ever regard, but especially in that one. Also everyone dies because they caused a massive war for personal revenge. It's terrible.


Majikoi is majikal


Wait, why would I play something that comes with the recommendation of "It's really depressing"?
…Is it good?

Im pretty sure he was talking about waifu being misused.

How?

Waifu is a fictional girl that you have a deep emotional connection with, it has nothing to do with what you "get" in a game, the mere existence of a character makes it possible for it to be yours or someone else's waifu.
Not to mention its grammatically incorrect

It's just someone who thinks people ever used "waifu" unironically.

But people did? Just because normalfags appropriated the word and basically use it as "pretty anime girl", which is all of them, doesn't mean the word lost its original meaning.

It's always been a joke. Sorry that went over your head.

Love Plus. I bought a NDS flash card just to play this game.

Stop trying to steal and trivialize my culture you piece of shit.

It wasn't depressing at all, the ending could I suppose be viewed as only have a bad and neutral end but I wouldn't call that depressing by any means. The crying wasn't crying like from Clannad, but from the crying I had from NHK ni youkoso, which my tears made me think about some things. Where Clannad's was just what they call a "crying game". Also unrelated but if you can understand Japanese play the ~final complete~ version as it has many more CGs and content.

You don't have a culture

It's called the culture of marrying fictional girls and devoting part of our lives to them since we don't like 3dpd

You can't marry something that doesn't exist.

You can't marry them by legal standards sure but you can still devote your life to them and treat them as a spouse

But its just you, it's all in your head'

...

You can in Japan, actually.

So is the love 3dpd pretend to give you while in reality the love someone has for their waifu would be more real than any relationship you could have with women and their lies and deception that they use in order to climb higher in the social ladder and take your money.

Japan doesn't exist

cmon man pls post sauce

nhentai.net/g/37990/

I like some sloppiness, but this just takes it too far
