These people will never learn will they? Even if they stopped, Sekai has already done so much damage. Though not recent, this video does a nice job rounding up what Sekai Project did during Root Double.

That takes me back.

What game are these pics from?

Look at the post above you you chromosome hoarder.

胸, obviously.

私の黒人の兄貴

Why the fuck is Viper GTS so fappable.

I can't believe it. I still remember when user reviewed how trash that one is

Because it's not rancid Viper RSR cuckfaggotry

So, it's Gundam without the cool space Nazis and mechas to distract you from the gay space autism.

While the later Viper games were more fappable, the earlier ones are more charming to me. These stripping scenes are really cute.


That team loves doing disaster scenarios along with psychic stuff thrown in. Just like 999 and VLR. But it seemed like something that just shouldn't have been in there from how he describes it.


We've lost plenty of threads to that word being mentioned alone.


Newtypes went way too far in Gundam. It was nicely contained in the first one but in later series it's just absurd. The idea of cyber newtypes was a neat idea but it felt more like an excuse to add in insane characters to pilot mobile suits. Usually being cute girls. Unicorn probably being the worst offender of newtype bullshit. Makes me wish we had an anime based on Front Mission Dog Life Dog Style.

WHEN?

NEVER FUCKING EVER, FUCK SEKIKE

Pink haired elf girl is still the best.

I just want Evenicle to come out so I can enjoy my polygamy.

HHNNNG

Just look up anything Sogna on Sad Panda.
exhentai.org/tag/group:sogna

Also a reminder that people can play old school VNs online by going to that asenheim link in the OP. I heard Nocturnal Illusion, Eve Burst Error, and True Love are good. True Love is short and can be easily finished in 1 sitting.

are any of these viper VN in english?

Yes.
vndb.org/v3420
vndb.org/v3415
Know that these VNs are only played because they are pretty. In every other department, they're not good. You would be better off getting the gifs and CG sets and read/play something else. Well I can't speak for the mahjong games. They could be good.

...

is the artist name viper or just the name of the series?

That gif with her being chased to a dead end then getting her top clothing ripped apart is a fucking godsend.


Holy shit, you serious?

I miss this art style even though it's my first time seeing it.

I HEARD MAHJONG AND I CAME AS FAST AS I COULD
I CAME AS FAST AS I COULD

Will be fetching that whenever.

...

I don't know, this looks like videogayms to me.

choose 1, delusional weebcuck

and no, rubbing your dick to the porn scenes doesn't count as gameplay

I miss this

Here's your reply
How's does it feel to be banned so many times you have to use a VPN by SJW cuckholds?

sauce?

exhentai.org/tag/group:tinkle bell

thanks user

It's coming out this year, MangaGamer is translating it.

brainlet as fuck tbh. spend less time wanking to those "games" and more working on how to form an argument

what is this bullshit, there is only a picture of sadpanda

You have to make him happy to pass.

I've masturbated to that scene twice now

Has Mangagamer said anything about the Evenicle release date?

You know, this gif would be perfect for a Cheetus edit.

...

Hnnnnnngggg.
I love and miss this artstyle, it just had (has) such a charm to it, cuter, sexier, comfier, and all around better.

That said, you haven't posted lewds. Are there any, are they animated or stills?
I'm not old, nor young. But fuck I regret not being born at a time when this style was so big both in vn's and dating sims on game websites.

What killed it? The cost?
What killed dating sims? VNs are similar, but it's not the same without the comfy atmosphere, the challenge of micromanagement and failure hanging over your head. Excluding shit like The Girl in the shell (ages since I played it, innocent grey) you don't often fail or put in a ton of effort to fuck up and be denied the reward. I liked dating sims, they had a nice balance of comfy and cute, with an effort required to get the rewards which may or may not have been pornographic.
Will this art ever make a comeback? Surely there is atleast one nostalgic, passionate and talented otaku in Japan who will make more content.

...

They never died. The kikes just don't want to translate them.

Really?
Fuck, now I really need to learn moon.
But what do the modern ones look like? I imagine the art is shit.

Look up Love Plus. There's a fan translation patch for the DS one, and the 3DS is in the works, but God knows when that will be completed, if ever.

It's mostly the shading and anatomy

Love plus came out in 2009, its not 90s old but its hardly modern.

I suppose they help, but the hair looks more voluminous as well.
It's not just shading though, I think they used a wider range of colours and even simple things had a nice design to them. I guess I just prefer jagged pixel lines over the current stuff where everything is so smooth.

I can't really explain it myself why the PC-98 look, or whatever you may call it, just feels better than what most VNs are comprised of today.

For example, look at YU-NO CG's from the PC-98 version and then compare the same CGs with their counterparts in the remake. You can tell easily which one is superior, and I hope that's not just nostalgia goggles talking.

Pic related, I could not find the original CG counterpart, sadly.

...

Not a good comparison
They removed a shitton of detail
But I think it's mostly the shading, that went to shit when digital animation became the norm.

The remakes biggest flaw are the godawful character redesigns.

I think the difference is that the new versions she looks like a typical puffed up perfect pretty girl in anime. Young, pretty, cute, shiny. While the PC98 she looks a bit plain but that also gives her a feel of "normalness" and thus looking more real and relaxing to look at.

What's wrong with idealized women? I am sick and tired of "muh real womyn" bullshit. If you want to look at ugly bitches step outside the basement.

...

The first pic he posted the girl is unmemorable. if every girl is idolized they are all the same. it gets boring too.

Hey, there are things written on that rock
Hey, there's a bow on the side of her hair for some reason
Remakes were a mistake

The feminist cuckboy screeches in impotence.


I prefer "idolized sameness" to ugly cunts.

I am so glad my first introduction was with the real edition.

Cause I'm sure you're a virile stud, browsing the VN thread.

Tired of Onion are we?

What has that to do with anything? I'm not the one arguing for "realistic" women in a thread about a medium that is all about the waifus. Why don't you go read a few Western VNs to bask in all the realistic depictions of femininity?

Also notice how the original not only kept detail as fine as that on the rock but also set the mood of the scene with the hair hiding her face, the color and shading of the environment, and yet they still managed to tease with a little glimpse of panty.
What's the remake give us? None of this AND it removes panty.

It's got a lot of issues, look at lost detail, the emotion (hidden face v generic blush looking at camera), the colour choice where one is brown/orange making it more warm and relaxing, where the new bright colours make it happy and energetic.
The sad thing is the artist probably didn't think of it, it was unconscious because modern animes look is so prevalent, we probably have people who can't make anything else.

What does wanting memorable character designs have to do with being a feminist?

...

Plenty of old art was idolised, it still had character. The newer stuff has less detail.

The original had a panty shot or a nip slip in just about every single CG, even the 'serious' ones. While the remake didn't cut out the lewds entirely, it has far less panty shots.

You don't want memorable character designs, you want "realistic" women, as in, ugly. You're the guy that complained about "idolized" female characters and said being ugly would somehow make them distinctive. Newsflash, being ugly doesn't make you special, it just makes you ugly. You can tell that to your feminist cunt of a professor.


Yeah, but they're not talking about that, what they want is women that aren't beautiful.

Stop putting words in my mouth you dumb nigger. I never said she needs to be more realistic.

Anyone have that first CG you get of the teacher looking down on you?


We need to stop replying to him. He never even played the game.

He means all the "idolised" shit is sterile, formulaic sameface. It is.

The redesigns are awful. Look at the drills in her hair, the original is small and elegant, but the remake has them be the center of attention, spanning all the way to her chest.

Also, if you pay attention, that her hair covers her eyes in the original gives a better proportion to the face. Look at how HUGE the remake's forehead must be. I don't remember that in the original.

It actually has less colors but the transition to the next similar color thanks to dithering makes the amount of colors stand out more.


I don't see a problem with the new art. If it wasn't being compared to the original, it would be fine on its own. Now the real question is does the remake have good music?

I don't think there are many actual dating sims like Love Plus or True Love any more. Instead I see the usual VN with a few routes and random choices that can screw you over.

And old art didn't suffer from the same problem of sameface? Take away the hair and the clothes of female characters from those VNs and try to tell the difference.

Most of this shit is nostalgia talking. You can cheerypick old titles that had good art and compare them to generic modern garbage, and I can find modern titles with good art and compare them to old generic garbage.


I like the modern drills more, they balance much better with the length of her hair.

It honestly reminds me of a chapter of Franken Fran where a girl gets plastic surgery to look like an anime girl.
It has a great ending ayy lmao.

More drills, more thrills!

did someone said sekai project? there is a humble bundle right now!

Everything to charity always remember

So can we atleast agree older vn's had better music?
Relaxing stuff was relaxing, usually SOL stuff just annoys me with its jingles. I can't think of anything of the top of my head, but in terms of being comfy, 8 bit is best.

You never once played the game. You are retarded. Stop posting.

Pic related for everyone, just looked it up - the objectively trash, bland comparison with giant heads and terrible redesigns is from the remake.
But don't let me stop you. You go ahead and judge for yourself which is better.

Learn to read you fuckwit. I wasn't talking about YU-NO specifically.

Oh my goodness, how they butchered Mitsuki-san.

...

This is why we can't have nice things.

Not my fault English is proving a challenge to you.

...

...

...

Are any of those even good? I fell for the Sakura bundle a while ago because I wanted Sakura Fantasy - only to find out the nipjews weren't going to do a part 2 because it didn't make enough money. Haven't even bothered playing any of the others.

Also got a copy of Highway Blossoms, because a lesbian treasure hunt in an RV across the American southwest sounded really comfy, but it was pretty much just a flat out storyline from start to finish - no harem to choose from or choices to make.

Some of the stuff in the new bundle looks like it might actually even have some gameplay. RaidersSphere4th looks like it has some flightsim shit, and Sunrider shit looks like a strategy-lite.

So is anything worth actually playing through? Are there even any sex scenes in these games and nude patches to unlock them?

Sunrider Academy is alright.

Ahah, no

Is this a good place to ask for tech support?

Did you install the crack?

fault is pretty to look at. The story will most likely be never finished though.

It should look like this.

How the fuck did I missed that?

the sunrider one is fun if you like space vidya, you have a carrier and some qt mechs pilots to move around a hex mapped space, you need to play sunrider: mask of something first, its free.

and never finished, though
Was it?

Alright, I might give them a shot. Honestly, fault and Root Double (at least in concept) look the most interesting, but I also want to see if there's anything redeeming about RaidersSphere. I'm not expecting Ace Combat, but flying with a squadron of cuties could be fun. So if Sunrider turns out to be good, then that's just a bonus.

Probably wait until I see what else they're going to add in four days.

they are making an idol vn right now, i guess when its finished they will make the last sunrider game.

And they will still not include a harem route. The West needs to burn.

OBJECTIVE OPINION ARRIVING

Is that motherfucking forced hand holding?
jesus,does it get even lewder?

Huh??

...

N-no one answered.
Does the source of OPs images have h scenes?
If so, animated gifs or still images?

You find all the tools needed to find that out yourself. Hell I even gave the source multiple times.

I meant does it really have actual harem fun.


I fucking love faithful to eastern inspiration yuri

KING DUMBDUMB POOPOOPANTS

O shit wrong thread pls ignore my autism

I know about the source but, actually playing would take effort. I'm not asking you to post any porn.
But I looked around
The art is still nice.

gorgeous

Nope. I've played one of the them and it was essentially a interactive DVD. Barely any choices that didn't immediately force a game over and it wasn't a cute dating sim.

Not a dating sim but have you tried Princess Maker 2 and 3? You raise your 10 year old daughter to be a God of war that has so much evasion that only a dragon 7 times her size can hit her often and all spells fizzle off her body because she has been working in the graveyard for years fighting skeletons nice wife with a good education.

If you want a dating sim though, there's always Love Plus. It's pretty easy to emulate.

Probably that writing on those rocks in the background.

Ah, apparently there's about three pixels in the back I needed to click. Really dumb, if you ask me. Anyways, im deleting the posts now.

That sucks.

That also sounds more rpg, with dating sim I imagine more
Sorta like Persona I guess.

...

Got any more webm’s of the blonde chick? She’s a qt

...

...

no such thing

More like "not loli enough".

What the fuck are you on about? Yeah, she grows a dick, but that's only because the MC (who also becomes futa-nized) fucks her, prompting the dick growth. She doesn't normally have a dick.

I have a problem with Grisaia no Meikyuu on my computer. I can't watch any of the movies, the screen goes black and the game crashes. I had to remove the movie.int file so that i could read through the VN but I missed out on watching the credits movies, which leaves my experience feeling rather incomplete. Anyone know a copy i can download where the movie files work properly? Would be great if so.

Get a load of this braindead retard.

This part of YU-NO is giving me some really good feelings. Something about an alien world that is vast and a whole lot of questions must be asked (which probably won't all be answered).
Are there any other visual novels (preferably older ones like this) that do something similar? The second pic also demonstrates the kind of game I am looking for.
By the way, it could be an adventure game as well, I am not that picky. I hear the Space Quest games are close to what I have in mind. Is that true?

The Ar Tonelico games maybe.

Ah, I can see where they based them off of.

DDLC designs aren't exactly original, nor are they really supposed to be but that's debatable.

How the fuck do they eat? Air filter feeders? Is the mouth on the bottom like with stingrays or something?

Thanks doc.

I mean there was 0% of things in DDLC that was original so it would not be too surprising.

...

Does anyone know whether the Mangagamer version of Higurashi is any good? The one on Steam?

Should be the same thing but with different artwork, man. It's alright.

Guys, I will need your help. Unsure if you could since it wasn't really a VN, as there weren't a lot of choices, but I don't really have lots of places to ask to.


Thanks in advance.

Could be that they eat the gasses in the upper atmosphere. Maybe it's in the clouds.

There is the tennis tag but only 2 games released around 1997, when NFS 2 came out.

I don't think it's either of them. Thanks for trying though.

Persona took its cues from datesims. You are now aware that the massive Persona cock most hambeasts trumpet is ripped from the very galges they used to deride viciously while schlicking to their gay mango.

I know that. The issue is I don't remember names of old dating sims, I just remember persona because it's big, popular and I play smt.

It's just a shame they don't copy the old graphics.

Might as well ask it here, too. Original post:
Is there a 3DS alternative to the original VNDS? If not, how exactly do I get this program to load on TWLoader?
github.com/BASLQC/vnds/wiki

If you're using your 3DS seriously for DS stuff, at this point in time you need a flash card. That said I've noticed homebrew tends to work better, at least NDS_TGM and the Knytt Stories port.

vndb.org/v22060

Would this be what you're looking for?

The viper series is a mixed bag of different VN's with fetishes like vanilla to NTR.

play sakura season and real love for your dating/vn fix, I dont know if there are any NEW dating sims out there, maybe someone will correct me.

They're more abstracted, which means that your mind fills the holes itself and immerses you. Newer visuals leave nothing to the imagination and the viewer is removed from the equation, resulting in a deficit of aesthetic virtue when the art isn't up to snuff - as is invariably the case in visual novels. It's sort of like the uncanny valley; the more detailed and (for lack of a better word) "realistic" it is, the more your mind picks at any inconsistencies.

Apart from that, the original has objectively better fundamentals IMO.

Finally 100%'d YU-NO. That took 50 fucking hours.
Overall I'd rate it 7.5/10, with a majority of those points coming from the excellent music and graphics. The story really wasn't that great or cool, but perhaps I am just biased in some way. I also didn't appreciate getting cucked/my lover(s) dying in over half of the endings

I think Fault is the weirdest thing Sekai's ever done. The original writer is a native English speaker writing the story in Japanese and then having someone else translate it to English. As a result the original translation was pretty shit (as expected of Sekai), but I've heard it's been improved since then. Still, why would you let someone translate your work to your native language for you when you could do it yourself and get the absolute best result?

Ley-line was in "QA" for 11 months. Maitetsu has been in "QA" since June of last year, but it's also longer than Ley-line, so I wouldn't expect it before some time near the end of the year at best. Also expect bugs because Sekai doesn't actually do QA. Baldr Sky is going to be a disaster if it ever actually gets released. The engine is a total mess to work with and they can't even release a VN with no gameplay without bugs.

is there a VN anyone would describe as must play that isn't lewd or moe or any of that sort of thing? I'd definitely be into some good storytelling, world building, character development with either a little or a lot of input on my part but I don't really want any porno stuff mixed in.

vndb.org/v17
Ever17 is a favorite of mine, takes some of the stupider ideas from Never7 and actually makes a good story out of it with the various themes eventually tying themselves together.
Steins is another good one, Fate has a bit of lewd but you're not really playing it for that. Grisaia and Majikoi have lots of lewd but it's pretty good with it's cast of characters.

thx user

shameless bump
I finally finished S;G0 after months of procrastination and I'm disappointed.
>Kagari is a bad character and why she's a totally different person in both routes is never elaborated on also that shit with her also being Yuki in Mayuri's route is retarded
>anyone with two functioning brain cells can tell that Leskenin is evil two or three chapters in
>Kagari dying before the time-leap in Mayuri's route and living in 2025 after contradicts attractor field convergence and time-travelers are affected by it since alpha-Suzuha dies after going back in time no matter what.
I hope that the S;G0 anime fixes this shit since I heard that they might merge both routes into one and that the new Sci;Adv event in April does something to save this series.
Chaos;Head Noah PC release and English patch never ever

leel

Delightful.

Though really her other index finger should be against the- You know what? Nevermind. Let's just be glad they are learning.

From what you said, though, I'm glad I stuck with the original. I had a feeling returning to a story where everything was so neatly concluded would end with disaster.


Didn't the author of Ever17 also do Zero Escape? Man, what happened to that guy…

space quest is very good, I haven't played a lot of older visual novels, but if you want to play a mystery game there is one called Divi-Dead, it was my first VN.

vndb.org/v119

What mahjong game is that?

Also curious because why is that so tall? Some weird arcade machine?

Any links for Rance X?

I like that old artwork. Miss it.
What did you like best about it?

Spike Chunsoft told him to make his stories worse and then stopped giving him anything resembling a budget.

My problem with DDLC isn’t that it’s unoriginal. I think it’s fine on its own, regardless of Dan Salvato being a total fagola. My problem is that, for some reason, this VN has gone mainstream, and it’s being hailed as some revolutionary new thing when it’s not. I like to describe DDLC as the Halo of visual novels. A big mainstream blowout piece of media that introduces a bunch of retarded normalfags to a market and a medium they know nothing about but pretend they do. It’s not the fact that DDLC is a ripoff (an unintentional ripoff since I doubt Dan knew of the VNs he was ripping off of anyways, but a ripoff nonetheless), but the fact that people don’t seem to be aware that it’s been done before, and much better. You could say I don’t even have a problem with the VN itself, but rather the following that’s gathered around it.

Any confirmation on this? I know the budget part and censorship in some areas but did they have that much control?

I doubt it's entirely their fault, but they definitely had a hand in things. They were riding his ass to tone down VLR against his wishes and ZTD was made on a shoestring budget where Uchikoshi only even had the chance to work on one of the routes.

Sunrider is okay. Jumps the shark in the third part though where they lock you in with a LI that I had no interest in and basically killed off what little story was left at that point. They have a "what if" part that allows you to pursue the girl you actually like but by that point I had given up.

The actual battle mechanics are pretty fugging great with the different mechs. You have 3 damage types, Kinetic, Laser and Missile. Kinetic are the big guns and stuff that shoots. Small stuff is accurate but don't do much damage but the bigger guns are great against battle ships. Countered with high armor. Lasers are a long range and accurate but do very little damage. Countered with shields and every ship later has their own shields generated, meaning you won't do much damage. Missiles do solid damage and are an option against pretty much everything if you have them saved up. Countered by armor and flak, bigger ships have more flak and two battleships and a carrier together means you won't hit them. Enemy has missile frigates though that can damage you pretty good if you don't cross over your flak fields.

ded thred

Nothing big or interesting coming out really. I've moved onto vidya after Grisaia.

What about Rance X? it's already released.

Does anyone have a working link to a download of Higurashi Rei? I have the eng patch already but every download I've found for Rei has no seeders or the disc image is corrupted

I would give updates on Sekai Project but they don't even update their website on a monthly basis. Hell it hasn't been updates since December.

You forgot the most important news.

I found this. I tested it out and it worked just fine for me. It's already patched.

Ehhh? That's been translated for ages hasn't it?


10/10 title.

Parasites need to make money somehow.

Yeah, but the fan translators obviously don't have access to the original uncensored assets.

There's an English translation for it?

Take your tinfoiling Holla Forumsshit out of here.

If it's AliceSoft they're probably crap anyway.

Guess they update their twitter before their blog. I'll use that more often then.


There has been for ages. Check the Starter Kit in the OP.

Maybe I should change the name for that and add something along the lines of "Refer to the Starter Kit/Recommendation List before asking questions about recommendations" to the OP. It looks like many people ignore it despite having what they want.

It's been out for seven years.

...

Still better than mosaics. And Rance 6 wasn't bad.

...

Back after some absence.


Nope, there were only 5 girls. As for the gameplay, while being rather similar, you only had 7 units at best. Thanks for trying though.

What version of Chaos;Head is in the pastebin? Fuwanovel or TLwiki?

You're supposed to lurk before you post, numbnuts.

I played that many years ago on DOSbox, but forgot what it was called. I searched for images and remember now.

T-thanks user.

Theres no guro you pussy, its vanilla

Chaos;Head isn't working. Whenever I choose start, it just stops running. I'm on W8.1, how do I fix it?

It's the Fuwanovel version.


Try to run in compatibility mode. If that doesn't help, then try this.

I went back and looked at the Kickstarter for "A Light in the Dark" and was surprised that it hasn't moved that much the past 10 days. It needs 10k in 11 days. Reading the comments, many of them are wary of SP and are upset that they have only really gotten physical merch from 1 KS which was the Nekopara one. I mean Root Double and Muv Luv are just now coming to Vita despite being a year or more late. You can see the comments here.
kickstarter.com/projects/sekaiproject/a-light-in-the-dark-vn-by-crespirit-storia-and-nar

Meanwhile Newton and the Apple Tree is getting updates pretty frequently. They're saying the cut-off point for ordering any of the backer kits (mainly physical stuff) is March 10th.
kickstarter.com/projects/solpress/newton-and-the-apple-tree-a-visual-novel-by-laplac/posts/2122411

I've only ever backed one kickstarter and it turned out pretty well. I think a seasoned company like Sol Press is a little trusting but I don't know if I want any of the merch. I don't know if the VN is even good.

Good porn doesn't depend on being able to see pussies and dicks for me, and I'd rather have something blocky than something hideous (potentially done because it shows up better through a mosaic filter, but details).

Funny, I don't see the rules stating that.

Thanks a bunch user

I think sekai has lost it

You're implying Sekai had it in the first place.

Holy shit do you not belong here. Consider suicide, preferably after looking up what "etiquette" means.

THE PURGE BEGINS

Fuck them.

The best way to deal with this kind of thing is deny a connection between the disagreement and the pastebin. By caving in you confirm the pastebin is related to a party rather than being managed by an anonymous group, and open yourselves up to litigation. Just goes to show that people who use disagreement instead of the designated threads are 3rd-world retarded shitbirds who can't do anything right.

wow, nice wordfilter mark.

Dis­cord

Also I just noticed
These idiots don't even understand that piracy is the reason Illusion games are even popular in the west. Fakku are just vultures who come to ruin communities as soon as they smell money.

You know what to do.
PIRATE THEM ALL

And seed them forever.

Nice meme.

Whelp, guess I'm waiting a few more years to play the lewd versions.

But we already have decent translations for those games, whats the point in buying the rights to a game that has already been translated?

visual novels are gay~

I'll probably end up buying it but I'd wager they are going to pack it with Magnum so it will just be an incidental.

I doubt it. They only packed 5d and 6 together because 5D is so love it or hate it.

Someone shoot this fucking kike already.

What do you think Spike Chunsoft is going to announce at GDC?

They say they're announcing 4 games at GDC.

Their futile struggling is rather exciting

Sekai is the Crunchy Roll of VN companies. They will buy up the rights to just about anything they can get their hands on, like some kind of evil Kirby

...

Holy uncapped boob sliders.


I'd believe it since there are dumb wordfilters on here. Speaking of, testing: weebshit

...

Being a mod of course. By what logic would they be publically viewable? Only 8/a/ does that for its auto-ban list.

I remember Occult;Nine being heavily criticized in Japan for being short as fuck and still be released at full-price. Heard it doesnt give much original content compared to the primary source too.

releasing a PS3 exclusive would be more suicidal than a vita exclusive at this point

Niggers like ass you retard.

Do you do everything based on what niggers like or don't like? I like fried chicken and watermelon too, but I'm not enough of a mutt to be insecure about it, you amerinigger.

Looks like another yuri VN came out recently.

Also Read Only Memories comes to IOS on the 6th of March.
vndb.org/v20539

Are there any visual novels that aren't about dating moeshit and hentai?
Or would such a game be doomed to failure from the outset because VN is so niche that the only market who bother with it would be moefags?

Cool, they did say they were looking to release this in the West and more platforms.

I know you're baiting, but there's plenty of VNs out there without dating or hentai elements. Steins;gate is quite entry level and it focuses on story rather than 'plot'

And this is why we can't have nice things.

This post happens in every other thread with the exact same tone, its fucking uncanny.

It's probably just the same guy.

Wasn't this the same artist who did GaoGaiGar's characters? That was a hell of a mental association to make.

There are plenty games. Of course you wouldn't find anyone here telling you about them, because everyone he is a smug asshole with absolute shit taste. Let's put it this way, if you don't speak Japanese you're pretty much fucked when it comes to find VNs that aren't weebshit and are translated into English. Seriously fucked, because there are pretty much none. Besides Kamatachi no Yoru; which was localized as Banshee's Last Cry. Though, 428: Shibuya Scramble is getting a localization, but it's a pretty complex game (not as complex as it's predecessor Machi, but still) so I imagine that there will be a lot to be changed. The problem with that though, is that it takes places in Japan in a distinct location (Shibuya). So it's not like Kamatachi no Yoru, which is set in a ski resort, where you can just change the setting to help it fit with the target audience. The games that aren't translated, and there is quite a large handful of them, are mostly horror based, so if you don't like horror, again you are screwed. Though I can't vouch for the translation quality since I only played the Japanese version, the Jake Hunter (know in Japan as Jinguji Saburo) series is pretty good, especially the one's for PSX/2. There are also the fan-translations of Policenauts and Snatcher, which are both decent games in their own right, but get more credit then they deserve because they have Kojima's name slapped over them. There are a few other games that are localized to English but I'm not going to vouch for anything that I haven't played yet.

TL;DR unless you read Japanese you are pretty muc fucked because most of the people that like VNs are social rejects that only care about fapping

Did you ever think that there could be people that are interested in visual novels but don't like weeb shit? And what do you do every time, jump on them and cause them to loose all interest in something they might like because "muh dick" and "muh 13 year old waifu"

Maybe you should stick to mature mediums, for mature people like you. It'd be better for every party involved.

That's true of vidya as a whole really.

Bullshit. They come in here starting to start shit, otherwise they would ask without insulting the whole thread.

Just like you, Mr. Shitposter, you always post the same tired shit every time.

user no one took that guy seriously because he was a (1) and done who threw around passive aggressive insults instead of actually requesting anything. It happens every other thread so no one gives them a serious reply.

It's nice that you gave some recommendations but you don't need to come off as an elitist either. Just shitting on everyone for really no reason. That just comes off as someone trying to feel superior to others over petty reasons. I don't even know why you mention people only care about fapping when the only nukiges people talk about here occasionally is Alicesoft games.

I give recommendations all the times and went out of my way to make that pastebin in the OP with a bunch of downloads, info on VNs with recommendations, and resources. I don't mind helping people out at all despite what their tastes may be. But if someone comes in acting rude, throwing around loaded questions and buzzwords, then people will rightfully tell them to fuck off. If he asked "Could anyone recommend me a visual novel that goes over X genre? I'm not a fan of hentai and cute girls doing cute things though so something without that would be appreciated." then people would be glad to share something similar that they enjoyed. You can ask a question and not come off as a prick.

Only one character gets cucked and that's one of the heroines, so just how bad are those scenes?

user. come now

Anyone got good horror recs besides higurashi and saya no uta?

Corpse party is okay.

see

I just finished playing Euphoria and it's pretty intense, especially later in, I really like it. I had to disable the 'show waste' option though.

The ORIGINAL Corpse Party is a decent horror game. Book of Shadows is a decent game but since it's 99% "what if" scenarios from the original game it loses most of its impact. And Blood Drive is just shit all around.

So for the love of God play the original and then nothing else of the series.

What a fag.

Whatever happened to the 2nd Corpse Party game and why isn't it being localized

Did Mahoutukai no Yoru ever get fucking translated?

Euphoria was such a pleasant surprise, delivered on all fronts really, scat notwithstanding.

Don't be a faggot.

I just think the girls are cute.

I mainly just make the threads and update people on recent news user. Saying that, there is nothing wrong with pure love.

This is no longer pure love, this is fucking filth.

Give this a bump. Sono Hanabira: Maidens of Michael was removed from steam. There's a guy claiming he got it removed in the steam discussion thread but it's ticking off alot of troll boxes. My other guess is that he really did do it and Steam temp pulled it to make sure, a false flag basically.
Thing is why the hell would you pull something like this? It was an all ages version and since steam don't allow adult patches anymore, you actually have to go elsewhere for that.

Also, Jesus fuck high school in hentai/VN is "minors"? Might as well ban %90 of them for CP then, if steam banned every lewdless-eroge they had because characters are underage they'd barely have any left.
That guy also seems to be mistaking America with Canada, no one would be jailed in America because their drawn porn involves 17 year olds.

I actually hope this gets pulled, and I hope it leads to all the other eroge on steam getting removed too. Then maybe the western VN market will completely fucking die and we can go back to just reading fan translations and shitty JAST releases instead of all the cancer we have to deal with these days.

I thought it was just kind of assumed that these people are 18 for legal reasons, even if they look younger.

Some games take the ages out for that reason. A few of those high school lewd games additionally call the place an academy (don't worry they're totally of legal age).

I'm in second arc right now, and I'm starting to get fucking angry whenever he opens his mouth.

I had a big problem with that too it actually made me give up on solving anything, Ryukishi should have cleared up some of that stuff better. I'm still not sure why Battler seemed to ignore the fact he was in a magical realm, but the only thing that really matters is proving magic wasn't used during the murder, other instances are irrelevant to their game.

I thought this was a yuri VN, what the fuck is going on. Kimika makes it worth struggling through though. Ive never seen such a perfect specimen. Seriously will the pain end?

Attached: kimika.png (702x661 1.15 MB, 816.11K)

Pretty sure its supposed to be justified in that most of the true magical realm shit started out in the meta post game section, before it started to bleed out into the actual main game. As in you are not supposed to treat that part as "reality".
In the same way you wouldn't question why the Higu characters were happily talking about the who, how and why theories, moments after you cleared the base part in which everyone dies horribly.

In a way, I am guessing the whole disconnect was the point Ryu was going for with the meta shit. Playing Higu you will know that dimensionhopping, gods/ancient ayys and such shenanigans exist in that universe. And by shoving Rika and Takano in your face just to muddle shit up even more and make you think the meta is real.
While in the end, its all just a braindamaged man's mind unsuccessfully trying to piece itself together.

Pussy

There's a valid reason these shouldnt be allowed on Holla Forums. The people who enjoy these and games like touhou want every game to be VNs and touhou and tend to shit up every thread with needless waifu cuckery.

Kill yourself

Attached: 7a1.png (320x320, 162.15K)

But then the whole thing makes no sense, as everyone dies at the end of the first arc (at whose end, by the way, it's implied they meet a supernatural being that kills them anyway). It would then just be numerous murder cases with the same setting and characters, only different victims and tools used, which would be essentially entirely unrelated to each other. The magical realm shit is what ties it all together and gives it some sort of continuity. I treated it as meta shit after the first arc, where those parts are in bonus content, but second arc just straight up has the magical realm as an internal part of the plot. Not to mention, second arc has the killer's PoV scenes a few times, where the witch literally starts summoning demons and fighting with magical blades and shit – even if Battler somehow came up with some convoluted explanation about how the murders could have been done without magic, I wouldn't believe him, as the game had already proved the existence of magic beyond a shadow of doubt. They can't even say it's some sort of sci-fi technology, since it's set in 1989. A cherry on top of this is that Battler's whole argument is complete bullshit. With that line of thinking, it would be impossible to prove anything ever. You could claim that grass is green, while Battler would claim that you haven't proven it, since grass could actually be bright violet, but some alien technology could make everyone in the world hallucinate that grass is green (which you couldn't actually disprove because hey, maybe the aliens are undetectable by human technology :^) ). It's just shit and it makes me mad.

if the game ends with saying that Battler was high on shrooms the whole time and just hallucinated the magic bits, I will be so fucking pissed.

The thing about the magical bullshit going on in the actual story, is mostly handwaved away by means of unreliable narrator, just as was the situation with Higurashi before it.
You are not supposed to believe everything you see in the actual game and/or not in Battlers/detective character's POV.
As far as Battler's arguing skills go
BATTLER IS INCOMPETENT
is the red truth for a reason.

Goddamnit, why does every VN/Anime/weebshit game looks the same nowadays?

Japanese equivalent to cal-arts.

they are using computer animation and tweening lots of things instead of hand drawing them.

A combination of dropping budgets leaving less time to make something unique, risk-averse businesses wanting to just copy what everyone else is doing, and the realisation that otakus will throw money at anything so quality doesn't matter.
It fucking sucks.

It's a sogna game, not sure which one since I don't usually play VN's with rape in them.

They don't all look the same there are lots of different styles used if you gave enough of a damn to look at the character design and art you would see that not everything is a cookie cutter design. There was also money to spare back before japans economic bubble popped so you are going to get less quality animations from studio's, but it's better than the state of most media right now.

And why try harder if quality of competition also went to shit.

it's got a really great atmosphere, it's gloomy and pulls you into the game.

Is the NISA translation of Danganronpa 1 better, or the fanslation?
I'm not paying either way, so if the NISA version is better (unlikely but possible) I'd be willing to play through it. Otherwise I'm assuming the fanslated version is better?

really, nigger?

There have only been a few times where fan translations have been worse than official ones. This is not one of those cases so just play the fantranslation on PPSSPP.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I played that too. Pretty decent imo

I'm not sure, I have the translated first chapters on my hard drive but dont remember how

That's some purple prose garbage by any standard but even worse it doesn't match the picture. Mocha is a lot paler than that. Why even write a description like that when there's an illustration anyway? How is it a façade when she's resting anyway, is she secretly supposed to be happy and hiding it? You can get away with a lot in "magical realm" fantasy settings, but a supposed fighter wearing hoop earrings breaks suspension of disbelief for just about everyone. Why is the text-box labelled "Narrator" (instead of just being unlabelled descriptive text) unless this is an in-universe play with narration, but in that case the narrator shouldn't be describing things people can plainly see? Why is this image such a bottomless pit of fuckups? Every time I look at it there's something else wrong with it.

Because it's a western VN. That's really all the explanation needed.

Speaking of Tinker Bell, I know they've released a sequel to their Tsun Dere stuff and they're pretty much god tier in terms of VN porn. Sadly, I can't find a single link to any of those for free except rondo duo, which I adored. I did find a few videos but that's worthless, I wanna play implying VNs are played. If anyone had a download link to any of the Tsun Dere games (the second one would be best but hey, never played any and I'd like to do so in the proper order), I'd be forever grateful.

what next typeshit i could play? this "kara no something" doesn't have vn version right?
