What VN are you playing? What do you think about it?

Since it only says VN I assume it is all VN included?

A few days ago I started playing Enkeltbillet which is an otome game (Dating sim for girls). I haven't finished any routes yet but so far the questions seems 'easy' enough compared to other otome games. Also this game is a bit different cause it has a 'tour' section since the story takes place in another country.

I like most of the choose-able characters and I think the seiyuus are a good pick! Though I admit I'm disappointed in the pronounced English. Sometimes it is so bad that I need to backlog 5 or more times to get what they say in English or read the Japanese translation underneath. The art is nice too and so far I'm cool with the Cgs. I find the special feature that their mouth moves accordingly to what they say cool! Extra bonus. ~

Still waiting for Cartagra demo. And someone is planning to translate the first LovelyxCation.

--Kaimax. Looks like you're playing Kancolle now, welcome abroad fellow teitoku

Lol, thanks, Just started though, now Lvl 28, and my rarest is probably Kirishima.
Starting to stagnate in getting new ones. Had started 2 construction for BBs, and had the same timer, 4h20m, which means it's either a Fusou Class or Kaga...But then I got 2 Yamashiro Instead.

finished the Amane route in Grisaia no Kajitsu. I am utterly speechless. Its not that i haven't experienced good and emotional vn's before. It was simply the shocking contrast from how the game was for the beginning and the middle and then how it was towards the end. The original writers, and for that matter the english translators, deserve a huge ton of respect for their amazing job. To be able to come up with so many hilarious gags and jokes and then realistically portray insanely compelling and heart wrenching drama. I cried 3 times during that game. I am in awe of their talent. What I am thinking now is, can the other routes possibly be as good as this one? It feels like they won't compare but maybe they will. Guess I won't know till I try

Right now im not playing anything new, im just replaying two. Im replaying fate/stay night for in preparation for the new adaptation, and im rereading a reapers kiss tastes like farewell, cause i only skimmed most of it the first time i read it and wanted to reread it again.

Fate is obviously amazing, and Kiss is a little long for my taste, but its a really character heavy VN, which i sometimes think is better.

Kara No Shoujo. There was not one ending I liked in this game. The writing of this game was really spectacular to start, and the concept of evidence predicating to each ending was really well done. The replay value really goes down though because of the way you obtain the endings. It kinda throws you into this world where you take your own path and sometimes it's not what you expected.


It's a mystery horror so going to meet up with girl A over and over with ultimately end you with a bad ending; then again out of like 7-8 endings to this game, 3 are supposedly good, including the true ending. In the end the "good" endings left a unfulfilled bitter taste in my mouth about how everything went down, and in the true ending, it was just bitter, simply bitter. Most of your questions are answered in the end but that's because the rest of them are "crossed" out so to speak.

Granted this VN is quite old, and the story takes place in the 50s, I really expected more from this, not really a Disney ending but something that didn't leave this hollow feeling in me. The guy I met at MangaGamer who sold this to me really left a good impression on me, the endings to this were just so disappointing to me.

7.3/10

Why is it that the best treats are the kiddie ones...

Finished Super DanganRonpa2: Despairing at killing your Waifu. Wacky, unique and memorable murder detective game that is a must have for any Vita owner. It also has three sub games built into it that are almost games by their own right, so it's well worth the price.

I felt like most of the puzzles were completely reflex based and poorly designed. For example, one of the segments with a split-second time limit had three questions with one word misspelled in them as the trick. A preschooler would've defeated the Ultimate Despair for god's sake. I would be lying if they weren't fun though, they retain that wacky, frantic charm that the original Danganronpa had in spades during investigation.

Every single time I broke my bank over romancing a character to finally get him to tell me the heartbreaking story of his life next time we meet..he dies immediately the next day. Granted it's not the game's fault but good lord I wanted to at least tap her once before her Pepto-bismal blood got splattered all over the walls...okay you can't actually tap them but you get their underwear after maxing their affection...even if it's a guy...I'm still keeping it.

I liked this quite a bit, I'm not sure if this is a definitive end to the Danganronpa series but if this is: They hit it off at the top of their stride.

Currently playing Kamidori Alchemy Meister (NG+, Serawi route). It's a great Fire Emblem style game, with H-scenes as a bonus, rather than the point of the game.

Currently playing G-Senjou no Mao and I am currently liking it.
I need to start on Fate/stay night though. .-.

Set about a month in advance and plan for the days for when you play it, especially if you are going blind. You'll need a pen and paper to keep track of what choices are dead ends. It's kind of like a commitment to play that game..

I just love how much Danganronpa makes you absolutely fall in love with a character then does a little "upupupupupupu" before splattering her insides all over your shirt while she's saying "it's going to be alright". Good lord this game is fun.

Currently reading "Kono Oozora ni Tsubasa wo Hirogete", or "If my Heart had Wings" (obviously not a literal translation).

I think the true route (Kotori-chan) was fantastic. It's been a great slice of life, and really speaks to you about aiming for your dreams.

Also up to chapter 6 of Umineko, which I've been crawling through for about a year, whenever my mind has nothing to think about.

I recommend ONLY EVER playing Umineko with a pencil and paper, and probably all at once. Maybe I'll go back and re-read it from the start?

right now i was playing . . .
imouto paradise and Comyu

Went through the prologue of Muv Luv Alternative, and a few scenes of its unsaid sequel 終わりなき夏永遠なる音律.

I can't believe how it nearly brought tears to my eyes. I also can't believe how long it has been since I find a VN worth reading...

Started playing Alicesoft's new game, Busou Shoujotai Blade☆Briders

It's basically a SuperRobotWars Clone, but not as straightforward.
-Buildings(terrains) as in the SRW series have certain buffs/debuffs if you put your character on top of it, but in this one it's actually destructible. It's also a mechanic they throw in, where you can buy and place various buildings throughout the map before a fight.
-Stat building is pretty much the same with SRW, you upgrade them with Cash you get from fights, and character events. Leveling up is random though (I think).
-My least favorite aspect from this is the attacks. You attack using weapons that have "Durability", not fixed set of moves. You buy weapons and equip them to a character. So, if you're out of weapons in a middle of a fight you're toast.

I'm not actually a fan of this, as choosing events are linear and character design wise it's not to my taste (Too many Loli-ish characters, I'm missing the sexy mature design of Oyako Rankan and Shaman's Sanctuary.) And it's sooooo easy to get your character killed as there are no choices for counterattacking ala SRW, where you can choose to Counterattack/Guard/Evade. It automatically counterattacks with your strongest weapon, making fights monotonous.

Currently At chapter 3 right now.

(Currently 5 out of 6 users in VNDB agrees with me that this isn't a good Alicesoft VN)

I'm not one of those 5, but I also agree with everything you just said. Especially about the art, I think min-naraken's art works better with mature designs.

I haven't paid attention to the story and just skimmed it through. Is there anything important to read early on?

Regarding Min Naraken's art, I just hope that Tsuma-tachi no Sakuragai is a "thing", since it's a spiritual sequel to the Tsuma series.

Can't really say because I also glossed over the story, I wanted to get the feel of a game first before I pay attention to the story. I don't have any motivation to continue so I didn't go back to the story.

I just got that game in the mail yesterday, haven't gotten into it yet since I'm playing Kichikou Rance again first.

Durability sounds like a pain...is it like Fire Emblem where you can at least purchase weapons on the battle screen?

Nope Everything is before the battle. Once you're in there's no turning back...lol

Dang that's scary...now to actually pay attention to durability instead of "I could easily just fend them off until I get to the shop"
