/jp/ - Otaku Culture

This shit is so ridiculous, I fucking love chuunige.
If somebody doesn't get triple SSS or EX+ or something and go outside the boundaries of the scale by the end of the VN, I will be astounded. It'll be great.

>>45383441
yeah, that shit is really fun to read and has a lot of kami moments

Shit's getting epic in here. Genuinely excited for part 4.

I never could expect that there are people mentally ill enough to unironically enable this option

https://twitter.com/momo_cafe0703/status/1729858206867018213
Cute

>>45385226
yeah, most people who aren't speedcucks

>>45385458
What the fuck does it have to do with the speed? The way it is realized it just fucking horrible

>>45385481
yeah, normally you just put bgm:60 sfx:70 voices:100 that option is retarded af

>>45385481
it has to do with the fact that there's no reason to enable it unless you listen to voices
it's not necessary for every game but more often than not there are characters whose voices are mixed too low or blend into the bgm

>>45385516
The way it constantly jumps up and down is making me sick irl, i couldn't even play geminism with headphones on because you couldn't disable that bullshit

>>45385544
Anon, I think you might have severe autism. I don't even mean bullshit internet autism, I mean actual autism including serious noise sensitivity issues.

>>45385602
What is autistic about wanting to have a constant background music flow without interruptions? That's like the whole point of bgm

>>45385458
>hookoid seething, hookoid can't read fast enough

>>45385624
Look, you can argue all you want, but if "constantly jump[ing] up and down [volume] is making [you] sick irl" you might want to google auditory/sensory overload and contact a professional.

>>45385692
hookcucks read faster though?

What is even the point of speedreading through a game you like? Who are you competing with?
When you start to play a new rpg or something you would also instantly go ahead google a guide and get through it as fast as possible?

>>45385759
speedcucks are usually also discord fags so put 2 and 2 together

I read about 20 times faster than most of the rest of you - with the exception of a few bibliophiles. What is a true chore, taking up tens of hours for you, might very well only be a short eight to ten hours for me. Reading that fast - whether in English or Japanese - gives me a greatly different perspective than a lot of the others here.

My stamina for reading in general and reading VNs in particular is far higher than the rest of you. Fundamentally, the idea of breaking a VN up over the course of weeks or months is alien to me, since even the longest ones will only take me about thirty hours (even in a busy week, I can usually manage to squeeze that in during breaks and meals).

Because VNs aren't drawn out for me, I don't suffer through the slice of life and daily scenes like some of you do. I can sit back and enjoy what I'm reading without feeling any stress whatsoever from the reading itself, as long as the VN isn't too bad. In addition, even scenes too difficult to read for the average VN-player are relatively simple for me to read, so i don't get significantly stressed out by that factor either.

One of the reasons people tend to get tired of VNs is a lack of stimulation due to low reading speed. I read fast enough that a good VN's stimulation will be close to constant, whereas a slow reader will sometimes come to feel 'in-between' scenes that are meant to be short and informative as painful and long.

The act of reading in itself can bring me something close to sexual pleasure if what I'm reading is interesting. The reason I like chuunige is because to me, the stimulation from a good chuunige is actually better than sex. There is always something going on and that something is usually meant to shake up the emotions or engage the intellect. Since, for me, reading something like this really does give me so much pleasure, I can honestly say that concerns about length don't bother me at all, lol.

>>45385770
Literally 90% of egs fugs are speedreaders who skip all the voices, i sometimes question what the point for what reason they buy those games in the first place

>>45385776
Sometimes when I read a copypasta I wonder whether when it was first written the person who wrote it was actually serious, and that makes me rather amused.

One thing that's kinda annoying is no previous backlog at load.

Hooksisters... d-did we lose...?

Children of Belgrade Metro anon thank you for sharing this! I didn't know about it's existence.
I started it a while ago and it seems like it's based on the autobiography of Christianes F book that also has a German film about it, we children from bahnhof zoo. The story is about mid late 70s German youth, and Christiane a 13yo girl gets addicted to drugs and she and her friends are forced into child prostitution in order to afford their doses. Many of them die from aids or overdose or they get stabbed or killed. She was the only survivor from her group iirc. It's a pretty depressing story and even though christiane survived and she is in her 60s now she keeps doing drugs. A very sad life if you search it up. I don't know if the visual novel is that deep but again thanks for sharing!
Doujins hit different.

Speaking of which, how is the doujin game archive we were discussing in previous threads going? Should we also ask /blog/ for contributions?

>>45385886
I download one game and my pc not powerful enough to run it.

Just realized the kusoge called "uchiimo" they kept bringing up in pic related is actually one of the author's previous works. https://vndb.org/v2237
I do wonder if she's just making or jokes about it or if she's still seething at otaku's reactions to it by making the over the top otaku character sperg out about it.

>>45385886
I keep slowly filling it with stuff i find interesting
Would be nice to assemble together some kind of list of interesting games that someone may know and check which ones are available on as and which are not
I don't feel like adding every single garbage just for the sake of it

>>45385952
DeathLoli is interesting.
I even played it for real.
>>/jp/thread/21676623#p21678297

>>45385952
Cool. I'll see if I can upload the 自転車創業 stuff in the next few days. Do you have an updated list of games already uploaded?

>>45385952
For doing shit like that this thread got full of tourists

>>45385949
The whole imouto ntr theme is pretty big here especially in his route

>>45385994
自転車創業 was reuploaded on A-S in Misc somewhat recently. Grab it there.

>>45386010
Oh, I have the games already, got them from a nyaa torrent that's probably dead now. Just need to find the hard drive they're in, but if that's the case then I guess I don't need to bother uploading them.

>>45385978
Yea i grabbed this one already
>>45385994
I will finish filling part3 today and make an updated list i guess

>>45386003
Tourists are probably the last cast of people who give a shit about some djge.

>>45385949
But at least they have released a pure love version: https://vndb.org/v1948

>>45386078
apparently there were some faggots sharing the thread on public trooncord servers for that shit retard

>>45386112
Yeah bro, nobody knows about 4chan.

>>45386112
The biggest spike happened after the whole ryuushitstorm, pretty sure these faggots have shared this thread in their discord
I don't remember there being more than 500 posts before that thread

>>45386135
Yeah bro, it's completely normal to reach 850 posts here

>>45385902
Damn, bros, It's time.

>>45386141
yeah normally it was like 80 IPs and 350/450 posts

>>45385863
I have an accompanying information book for it that mentions that as an influence, yeah. Though it’s not so dark as to bring up aids and child prostitution. From my memory most of the dark stuff comes from the heroine being a huge yandere. Actually it’s kind of like a gender flipped version of one of those schizo otomege in a way.

>>45386112

Buddy they are native speakers and can read way faster than people here just in the same way native english speakers can read english dialogue twice as faster as japanese.

>>45386229
>new player joins the game, fucking /blog/
sigh

>>45386291
I can read in my native language x3 as fast too and what?
Do you also speedrun through every english game you played just because you can read it fast?

>>45386291
I guess natives can finish a game in less time than it takes to listen to all voice files, huh? Don't be retarded. A lot of EGS times are like half of what it takes to finish the game on full autoplay.

>>45386279
>Kioku no dissolve
The closest to a sayooshi hero that you can find in an otomege. Kioku and Fortune one are on a-s but this one is https://vndb.org/v28727 missing. Kinshiiku/agony links are dead too.

>>45386279
I think this is the most updated one: >>45303339
Guy who manages the mega folders is going to update the list soon apparently. I think there are already a few otome games in there, like the Agony stuff.

For whatever reason blog has some of the worst ESLs I’ve seen on this site. I guess female posters are maybe going to be a little gentler with gatekeeping, especially against anons who aren’t actively causing problems, but there’s this cohort of posters with godawful English who have no idea how you’re supposed to behave on an imageboard. They can’t integrate despite having been here for years and are dead easy to spot on other websites and threads too because their writing styles are so distinctive.
Pretty sure there’s a couple of them but they might as well be the same person because they all act exactly the same. They’re also obsessed with shilling shitty games to male readers by hyping up how dark and edgy they are. I don’t think this has ever worked but anyway, the summaries they give are always exaggerated to make it sound like vaguely described backstories are something that actually happens on screen and nothing they shill is ever as interesting as it sounds.

>>45386501
This is just women in general though

We are experiencing what I would like to call the Sweden Effect.

anyone have Hoshizora Planet?

>>45386501
I'm not sure why they were shilling all ages Otomate shit in the last thread. I wouldn't recommend that shit to anyone here. Most /blog/ recs are so niche, they have no universal appeal whatsoever. I say that as someone does read some.

>>45386590
Sure, why not?

>>45386593
I'm more interested in doujin otome agony stuff that actually has some good writing and unique atmosphere and not just shock content just for the sake of it, but they seem to be not really interested in that kind of stuff

>>45386593
There has been some actual faggot here shilling otomege since september saying even men can read them and just pick the guy they identify themselves most with, so since people kept giving him attention the actual fujoshits were bound to eventually come.

>>45386611
can you upload it to mega?

>>45386622
stuff like agony games*

>>45386630
No, only to pixeldrain.

>>45386501
>hyping up how dark and edgy they are
That is proportional to recommending dasaku/dasoku unironically

>>45386635
pixeldrain is ok too

Why all of you fags just can't stop looking for negatives in every single fucking thing instead of just peacefully posting about whatever you fucking read without creating new drama every 5 min?

>>45386622
I've been shilling Gayoushi's work a lot, anon. I did several writeups about her work and even shared a few games I bought before the doujin anons were kindly archiving everything.
Though I feel like a lot of people aren't genuinely interested because of the art and there's no voice acting. It's probably just me and maybe one or two anons who bother to discuss about those games.

>>45386813
Yes you made me interested in it, i meant to say why they don't shill more games like that instead of the shock content bite shit

So this is how the threads are going to be from here on out? Otomegame shilling while bishoujo games getting shunned?

>>45386841
Dunno, I'm mostly busy with WA2.

>>45386761
Gatekeeping is important, take a look at what /djt/ looks like and see what happens when the newfags overrun the oldfags to the point the oldfags are rendered powerless.
Is really a shame that such a niche thread like reading japanese literature untranslated get assaulted by this cancer.

Speaking of doujin games, have anyone here read Mugen Yakou?

>>45386905
/blog/sisters were always here discussing chuuni with you, bro.

>>45386936
The main point was to share impressions about the shit you read so others could know if something was worthwhile or not, but as my bro said here >>45386925 そんなことはもうどうでもいい

You can just read egs comments for that purpose so it's not as useful
It's nice when someone posts about some rare ass stuff that no one ever read though but this is an extremely rare occurrence
Hopefully more people will get interested in djge now at least after we collect them all in one place

>>45386976

>egs comments
overwhelmingly useless in my experience

>>45387023
Sorry bro, I didn't mean to make you go to deepl

>>45386832
I could only guess it's because much of the genre is exactly what you described. The shock value in the usual edgelord otome is more or less equivalent to whatever Clockup does usually.

>>45386976
Pretty much this, I'm this close to reading one Crystallia game after that faggot has been shilling the newest one here for a while

>>45387033
I've read a lot of doujin shit and yeah, there they tend to value some shit a lot more for the simple reason of being doujin

That's just you bro, pretty sure a lot of faggots here have read that shit when they were uploaded to this thread a bunch of years ago. If in general nobody talks about them, it's because in general they suck

AAA voice actors, but all-ages mix of high-school drama within a Purgatory setting. Slow pacing and a bit of overthinking/verbosity from the protagonist. The best girl (?), Samael, doesn't have a route.
Worth it just for listening to Hanazawa Kana and the protagonist.

I don't imagine putting in all this work for a school event. I can't imagine doing all this work only for it to go on a day or two. I can't imagine these 文化祭 to be as interesting as they make em out to be in anime. Can't imagine having to deal with all this 'drama'. Can't imagine how it requires all this much work in the first place. I can't imagine a supposed goddess to care about any of this and fall in love with a generic Japanese highschooler.

I was going through crystalia shit... and just realized that's a lot of games to read. I guess it's a good thing? I don't know how to feel about it, but don't think I made it to kakehana release

>shilling the otomate crap and not koshotengai, shingakkou, kintouka and taishou mebiusline

just play paradise and don't worry if you get hard by azuma's slutty moans no homo

Are you retarded, most male readers are going to be instantly put off by BL no matter the quality of the writing. I don’t see what the purpose of shilling any of this stuff to a likely hostile general audience is.

>>45387498
I can't trust the usual otomefag's taste if they haven't read much actual eroge that isn't just shock value shit or meme VNs like totono if I'm being honest.

>Mileage may vary but for me Musicus, Cross Channel, Ima, Subahibi, Sakura no Uta, Muramasa and Oretsuba should just be in the ‘how the hell were they written’ monster tier and not even be rated. If you start nitpicking at their flaws, it’s easy to find them but doing it with these titles in particular just feel tasteless to me.
What are the otome equivalents of these games?

>>45387562
Even otomefags who hate bl are just skipping the bl content or play the console versions from these games to avoid the bl content just fine. If something is good why not shill it? Someone will try it in the end.

>>45387413
Yeah we get it. Years of wasting away in your cum crusted chair sucked out all the imagination from you.

45387576
What? Like "kamige" everyone and their mom loves dearly but is overrated in reality where nitpicking at them would only bring a hoard of faggots dogpiling on you? There isn't any from what I've seen but tons of otome EOPs aggressively love Otomate titles and shit like Dialovers for whatever reason.

I like reading em on my laptop in bed actually.

>>45387432
If your goal is to be ready for kakehana, you could probably get away with reading mekuiro, optionally Tsubaki renka, and yureaka only. Mekurabe isn't about jindou at all and it's kind of a weak eroge in general. Has nice monster designs, though. The ワンルーム titles are probably just standard fluff FDs; I haven't read any of them.

Finished RE：D Cherish. Pretty mediocre overall. The art is good, and there are some funny bits (mostly involving Desperado or the MC's voice acting). The music is pretty nice too, I like the comfy diner bgms and the song where the dude talks about his couch. The story starts well enough, I like the cyberpunk setting, the character introductions, and the Alice bits are intriguing at first. The twist being vampires is cool, and how they combine it with cyborgs is interesting, though the way it's used can be kinda dumb sometimes.
But then it gets boring. The first two fights with the Danny boys are awful, the diner parts drag on, they reuse a character development bit from Yureaka, and when the plot picks up again it's rushed and poorly explained. The chuuni and moege did not mesh well at all, especially in the character routes. Unica's in particular felt like a speedrun of the romance to quickly get to the chuuni, and the transition between the two is sudden and jarring. The ending was unsatisfying because some seemingly important points were unaddressed or just barely touched upon.
I would not blame anyone for dropping it, I'm not even sure why I stuck with it, but it wasn't worth it.

more like unkosai amirite fellas

>>45387643
weak bait

>>45387566
Otomefags prefer games with heros who aren't self-inserts, ugly or fat. Voice acting is more than welcome. Kara no Shoujos Reiji is a favourite, Muramasas Kageaki and the Dies Irae ones. There are rancefags too or sayooshi sisters who wish Hirosuke had a design. That's why gemminism drew many otomefags here. The boys have cute designs but most importantly, they have notable otomege/blge voice actors, Tachibana and Sugita.

Now drop us recs with hot pure heros who aren't picre, sluts and need love and healing.

>>45387713
>the MC's voice acting
does he ever speak later than just at the start of the game?

>>45387744
He speaks whenever something important is happening in the plot

>>45387562
I mean, BL is technically on topic. You can probably shill them for the plot and characterization. Just talking about X character is so sexy with his moans, shock value for the sake of it and other gay shit doesn't add anything in a place like this. People want to read something that carries more meaning than that where sometimes taking a blind eye to BL isn't farfetched. I've seen some here who got into Shingakkou despite the BL

Like that other anon said, he speaks during certain plot scenes. Those are fine.

The funny bits are when he speaks during romance scenes and fight scenes. In Unica's confession scene she's all bubbly and happy and for some reason the MC is doing ASMR. That contrast was hilarious to me.

And in the fight scenes he just goes crazy sometimes https://files.catbox.moe/3ht2in.mp4

Amakano's reign is over. Long live Amanatsu. https://vndb.org/v47551

How's his game?

>>45387713
Eternity Blood is better written imo although going by that description I don't think you would enjoy it. My only real problem with the original game was that I thought Des and Rouge's route were much worse than Unica's so it felt unbalanced.
>they reuse a character development bit from Yureaka
Didn't read that one so maybe that made a difference.

What games do you know that have car sex /jp/?

Also,why does Japan not look up/use modern hypercars?

>>45389807
I just remember the gall stones and I think a herniated disc.

>>45389833
It's not really something I keep track of h-scene wise, but I played https://vndb.org/v45731 and https://vndb.org/v24689 recently which both had it.

>>45389807
It seems she is doing just fine as her new reincarnation: https://twitter.com/kurumihuyu963 , https://www.youtube.com/@SASAYAKI-nesiology

The fact that the agency mentions in a retirement press release that they only talk through lawyers seems more of a clear flag that those relations were going downhill for quite some time already, and that could've caused some of that stuff, even if it was blamed on poor health.

>>45389833
First Biman had a quite good car scene.

Japan has also fucked up tax system around cars so hypercars are way beyond means for people.

>>45389833
Im pretty sure the onee chan by iizuki tazuku had a H-scene inside a car
>Also,why does Japan not look up/use modern hypercars?

>>45389874
That doesn't seem to be that serious.

>>45389918
>>45389929
Kei cars are just budget stuff,like buying a switch lite,you do it cause you have to, Nizmo and Supra is where it's at.

>Japan has also fucked up tax system around cars so hypercars are way beyond means for people.

Makes sense,but I assume Japan has a few 何回億ーaires that could afford one. Having a lean chad with a hypercar would be perfect for an NTR focused eroge,instead of the constant yankii deliquents and such,or the younger blonde stud.

>>45389987

https://vndb.org/v?sq=biman

Which is harder to read? France Shoujo or Albatross Koukairoku?

>>45390059
Take a fucking guess.

>>45390059
depends on how NTR changes difficulty for you

>>45390059
France Shoujo has a fair amount of Chinese and is way longer with a shit ton of choices, so I'd say that's harder.

>>45390059
The one that's shittier is harder to read

>>45390099
Psychologically, only a little.
>>45390120
truly a hot take.
>>45390087
I don't know genius. France Shoujo is 6MB of pure text,which doesn't sound like a lot,but then you realize the entire works of William Shakespeare are a mere 5MB,not to mention it's set in 1920s Japan which has to make it a little harder. On the other hand, Mareni is known for Purple prose,Japanese readers were saying they'd have a dictionary on deck to play the game when it came out in 2010.
>>45390117
>Chinese
I didn't know that, that actually does make it harder then.

what IS france shoujo about, anyway? literally all i've heard about it is that it's ridiculously long
has anyone here actually read it and can humor me with a review?

>>45390527
sounds funny

>>45390546
i dunno if i'd want to read 6 mb of pure text about a guy like this

>>45390560
It has a million fucking endings, it's probably fine to just read a few main ones with hot loli and call it a day

>>45390560
the 6mb of text shit isn't really true anyway. it has a lot of scenes where there's only a few lines of altered text which count as their own script files, so there's a lot of overlapping.
also there's no skip already read text text option so reading those would 100% be a pain in the ass

Does anyone have this one? 死埋葬 -III- https://vndb.org/v27665?

Oh, I didn't know the link was dead. I'll upload it later.

I've finished Baldr Sky 1, and I must say, it's the best example I've seen of a VN handling protagonist amnesia. I enjoyed how the characters belong to diverse factions, each providing a unique perspective on the world and its conflicts. The gameplay was fun as well.
However, the overall experience fell short of my expectations. It was simply okay. At no point I felt compelled to read like it has happened to me before with stories that thoroughly caught my interest.
I can't say I'm particularly enthusiastic about reading Baldr Sky 2 any time soon if ever at all. My interest is piqued enough to want to know how the loose ends of the story are resolved, though.
I wouldn't mind if an anon were to spoil the story for me. Maybe that motivates me to read it.

>>45391896
if reminiscence wasn't a think baldr sky would be 10x better

>>45391896
Is baldr sky a chuunige or it's more like muvluv?

>>45391896
As someone who felt the same way about that game, I highly recommend you play dive2. There's a certain segment that is one of the worst abominations in the history of eroge, but it's really good shit. You just made me remember how good those OPs are

>>45391916
If I were to name a mecha chuunige I'd mention Demonbane, but certainly not Baldr Sky, no.
Baldr Sky is about cyberpunk/military.
It felt like a fitting read with all the stuff going on with OpenAI IRL.

>>45391896
I don't know if it's a popular opinion or not, but I dive 2 has much better routes than dive 1. The biggest problem with it is fucking reminscene but oh well what can you do.

>>45388566

>>45387713
I think the first game is just alright, but Eternity Blood is fantastic. That said, it's basically just a better version of the first game since they only have to focus on one heroine, so if you really didn't like the first game it probably won't change anything.

>>45387963
Is there really a competition? Both Tenshi Re-boot and Amakano 2 are great, they're probably the best moege released this year unless I'm forgetting something. Fantastic VNs all around.
>>45389113
I really, really liked Amanatsu, but despite the title it's really not an Amakano substitute or even anything like Amakano. It's a SMEE game that happened to be published by azarashi soft - a really good smee game, arguably one of the best smee games - but it's very clearly a smee game.

>>45392985
It was more like "imagine reading that kusoge when you could be reading this kamige" between amakanofags and yuzufags. Unfortunately 2+ is not standalone like tenshi, so amakanofags were pretty much outnumbered, but yeah, moebutas enjoy some good shit this year

>>45393003
>Unfortunately 2+ is not standalone like tenshi
Anon, did you forget about the YCU?

>>45393011
kurumi route?

>>45393023
No, Tenshi route.

>>45393003
If you only had a choice to play one 2023 moege for the entire year, which one would it be? Amakano or Tenshi?

>>45390546
>>45390527
Hilarious
>>45390567
>>45390580
>>45390613
So is it netori or netorare? Because number 1 is hot,but 2 would be shit. I remember hearing the big tit girl was someone's wife in Hong Kong, is that why?

>>45393040
It depends slightly on what you want from a moege, but I'd go with Amakano 2 over TSR.

>>45393033
that explains it... I only read imouto route because faggots here insisted it was kami and and it was indeed kami

>>45393062
The imouto route was the best, but the others were still pretty good.

>>45391651
>>45391703
I guess I earned that.
>>45389833
I was originally worried people would be confused, like the game IS on there, it just doesn't have car sex tagged. Seems odd since they have tags with less than 100 things on their,like afterlife.

I still think a hypercar could fit in an NTR game, we really need someone outside the usual archetypes:
>ugly fat bastard
>yankii kouhai
>yankii yakuza or full blown deliquent
>foreign exchange student ripped black guy
>foreign exchange student ripped latin guy
>foreign exchange student ripped White guy

I don't know, it seems like it would be perfect to me, have a guy with a fancy sailing yacht that looks like the (not) Maltese Falcon,and a few hypercars. But I guess getting cucked by a guy who makes a lot of money and can provide a better lifestyle would be too real and raw for a lot of Freeters and the salaryman that usually play eroge.

>>45393079
>Doesn't know about Tomaru Sawagoe.

>>45393144
He sounds like a straight out supervillain.

>>45392985
hello sakutoki?

>>45391912
Even if you remove it the main plot and dive 2 routes just suck. The best thing about dive 2 is the gameplay and it's worth playing baldr sky just for that.

>>45393443
Would be a moege, but the only good heroine is a hag = not a moege

>>45393417
Sexually successful men often are.

Can anyone explain why "seishun" is SO important for Japanese? I see this in every 2nd eroge. I never paid attention to this in my life...

>>45393685
Not a Japanese thing, it's a pretty commonly held idea that high school/college are "the best years of your life".

>>45393685
What did you do when you were in your teens?

>>45393685
Because it is the stage in which you fundamentally learn from your mistakes, meet a lot of people, experience a lot of new things and begin to form as a person on the road to adulthood, when you pass that phase you have to start making decisions that will determine your future and well, life from there is pretty shitty in many cases

There's a weird mix of chuuni and fem POV with an obscene mismatch of the VA and the heroine she's voicing so I'm not sure I'll finish more than one route, if even that. Kind of a bummer, I've been waiting for since like the 3rd delay or so (that's from pre-COVID times iirc)

I'm not sure yet what is the best way to do it though, should i consider like sorting 18+ and allage separately (but no one checks allage nyaa anyway) or sort it by developers and upload collections separately or just stuff everything together, but that kinda will look ugly

Baldr Sky Dive is just repetition for the sake of repetition. That is also the twist. Not even gonna spoiler that, because really, fuck that shit.

Someone REALLY wanted to have this as two games instead of just one, how it should've been. The core idea wasn't bad, but the execution is one of the worst I've ever seen. Also holy crap the MC's voice acting was so terrible. Once I finally got over my obsession of not wanting to mute any voices (especially with how rare voiced MCs are) and muted him, the experience actually got a bit better.

It's a game of its time. I get why it was hot shit when it was released. You could look over its problems a lot easier. But alas. I played it like.. 5 years ago or so? That was already way too late.

>hate games made in the past.
>hate games made now.
At this point, why even bother?

>>45393685
Because they usually have nothing but work left in their lives after school, and for some strange reason they don't seem to be too fond of their university life either.
Where i live, everyone fucking hated school to the bottom of hearts and real seishun usually starts only after finishing it, parents here tend to support kids for much longer than just until they are 18+ so people usually have at least several more years of carefree life at uni or college

>>45394319
>and for some strange reason they don't seem to be too fond of their university life either.
Uh, no. They party hard once they enter university to make up for grinding int to pass the difficult entrance exams.

>>45394082
The American high school mythology is unusual as well to be honest. You don’t see that kind of thing in my country, at least nothing romanticising life at an average high school. Maybe it’s because both countries tend to have a lot of extra curriculars offered within the school? Both US and Japanese high school media is often about a school club (sports, band, etc.) rather than the actual school stuff.
There’s no serious school clubs in my country, you go to school to study and then go home. If you do drama or sports or something seriously it’s always private.

>>45394473
But for some reason they almost never bring it up in media, it's always the school

I was talking about America as well as japan. ‘American High School’ is its own stock setting with its own tropes like the cheerleaders and football players, prom and homecoming, hallways lockers, house parties, etc.
May not be obvious if you are murrican yourself but in my country other kids were obsessed with all that and always made sure to buy red cups for parties ‘just like American movies’ and got the school to start doing prom and such.
The other stock school setting you have is the vaguely British boarding school which may or may not be magic. Will usually have houses and prefects and take place in a castle or similar ancient building. But I think this is different to American or Japanese high school nostalgia because almost no one writing this kind of story these days actually attended a school like this and it’s a total fantasy setting, often literally. You even see it pop up in Japanese media from time to time, likely mixed with some Japanese highschool tropes.

I said eroge. 1-3 day loop reset for a large part of the story that includes numerous ways of trying to escape it, giving up at some point and going on a raping spree, etc.

What a great eroge site from 2000...

At first I thought, kurwa games

>>45395279
That's the rick and morty of eroge

Every last Friday of the month

New game with ooyari art. Still no news on Machine Child.

Misonoo Mei is still single right?

>>45395643
I believe so. She's now a vtuber though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7ZDNdbE_GU

>>45394480
please?

>>45396181
cant u just play with cd mounted

>>45396268
how the fuck did i not think of this

>>45394480
why do you wanna play a 7.01 average rated game?

>>45396293
Hasshaku is 7.69 and yet...

>>45396293
ratings don't matter to me, i like the art, so i'll give it a shot
i found that Peace@Pieces from the same artist is good, and what rating does that have on egs or whatever? probably not that high

>>45396293
>vndb scores
dont make me post that pic

>>45396293
That's not even a bad rating

>>45392885

>>45396293
You say that while literal kusoge gets rated 9 and above all the time there.

>>45396396
Sweet. Time to check my bookmarks.

>>45396293
I've read plenty of low rated games that I've enjoyed. I don't know if you've realized this, but everyone has different tastes.

Are there any VNs where you battle against the heavens/gods? It's a relatively common LN trope, but I don't think I've ever seen a VN with it

Has this been shared before? https://vndb.org/v37500#main Blood related father-daughter and it's 60 buckareous on dlisite.

There are plenty but pretty much every single one will be a huge spoiler

>>45396852
thanks, i don't have to mount the dvd everytime i want to play

>>45396526
I was under the impression plenty of chuuni does that. JRPGs are also big on that trope. Most has some sort of god slaying iirc

>>45396880
>JRPGs are also big on that trope.
Yeah, they usually are: save a cat>the village burns>the journey begins>the church conspires against the kingdom>kill god

>>45396733
Try asking >>>/jp//blog/ . That seems to be a more appropriate place for that sort of content. It's even classified as 乙女向け/TL on the DLsite.

It's only 4 hours but so expensive just to gatekeep. Looks interesting, hope a rich anon can share it.

It's starting to become clear simply dating both Setsuna-chan and Kazusa-chan would have been the best option.

Kinda wondered what was the obsession with that whole power fantasy with fighting and killing gods in those games. Also huge towers to climb up to reach those gods. SMT had some massive boner for them.

>>45396941
Can never go wrong with choosing neither

>>45396949
I dunno, I'm not too far in of course, but at this point they're both very appealing.

>>45396929
And it doesn't even have voice acting. Were they just trying to troll people with this? They only got 27 sales after almost 2 years.

>>45396946
SMT is so kami bro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKcNbhxoVyI

Xenogears made it the standard formula.

>>45396941
3P ending is too based for soap operas

wtf Fumi, does this means that there won't be a FD where the whore is the heroine and the MC is that fat ass teacher???

shit sorry about that guys, i'm retarded

>>45397270
I was wondering how the guy who liked her was going to react, if that was you.

>>45396733
I don't get this. It's even more expensive than an average Steam game sold in Amerifat dollars lmao

Holy shit moege is finished

He's just like me...

>his 実妹 is a different skin color
Crystalia messed up by not making her a delicious brown girl

>>45397388
That MC is not brown...

>>45397405
neither are "delicious brown girls," it's an exaggeration-based term

>>45397382
>Many artists tend to draw the skin of the male darker during h-scenes
Dear God NO

>>45397349
I will never be able to play nukige after this

>>45397349
wtf was it all an act? I'm out of this shit. I feel dirty and scammed

>>45397349
So it wasn't an overweight ossan producing all the slopping sounds?
