    Your Worst VN Experience

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Jewel Knights Crusaders, while being one of my first visual novels and holding a special place in my heart, probably contained two of my worst:

    The loli route was full of the usual high-pitched wailing and gross bloody deflowering, and the villain route was filled with pissing and I believe domination? It was all very gross.

    He raped all of the girls and they almost nonchalantly forgave him afterwards. Yeah, I'm surprised at myself why did I even bother with that tasteless fantasy.

    There were few, but School days obviously was among them. God, it was such a chore. Depressing atmosphere, it felt like I was on some school test where I barely knew the answers.

    I know I'm gonna get hanged since everyone loves the games but I'm gonna say it anyway. I disliked Rance. I was a even more disgusted how people ignored all his treatment of women and just concentrated how ''badass'' he is. And please don't quote me and try to justify his actions and whatnot. You have your opinion and I have my own.

    Tales of Xillia

    Now you're making me really want to buy and play it. XD

    Graces F had a Japanese demo so people could try it out a bit. Shame that this one doesn't have one. Maybe you should check out few walkthroughs and see how the game plays it out. I think every JRPG fan should at least give it a chance and support localization of almost dying genre here in the west. If you take a liking of what you see, of course. Especially since sequel is coming next year. XD

    And hey, I'm still surprised that they left the original opening ''Progress'' by Ayumi Hamasaki. Thats rare for Tales of series. ^^

    ^ I still think taste is personal thing. You can't really have a ''wrong'' taste, like if he loved the games that no one else did... but yeah that is a discussion for another time. ^^'

    Anyway, welcome to forums. Have fun and enjoy your stay.

    My copy arrived today. Played it for like 3 hours. Man I'm so stoked.... It's so good! I though that linking system wouldn't appeal to me but it's so much fun. I can't get enough of battle system, it's so satisfying. The cast is great too, I'm using everyone from time to time in a fight, which wasn't the case with other Tales games. And Milla is so... :3

    An Introduction to Corpse Party

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Xseed have recently stated that they were looking to bring out more stuff for the PC, so there's still hope for Dead Patient. :)/>/> (Though what I really wish for is Trails in the Sky SC. >_> )

    Hopefully they will do the Dead Patient at some point. Corpse Party sold pretty well. And I think they said that they are slowly working on sequel to Trails in the Sky, it's just that it isn't a big priority since the first game didn't sold well. As expected really, they did release it on a heavy-pirated PSP here in the west.... *sigh*

    I hope thy do the Trails in the Flash at some point.

    What Video Games Are You Playing Right Now?

    The way the game is meant to be played for sure.

    Haha, that would be a good advertising title for the game.

    I've also just bought Betrayal at Krondor. I remember playing it once a long time ago and was incredibly impressed at the writing in the game. But I got busy, the game got hard and I promptly forgot about it.

    Man, that reminds me that I never finished Betrayal at Krondor. It's definitely and epic game with excellent writing, as you stated already. Atmosphere was amazing, I was really into the world. Have to pick it up again at some point myself.

    Just finished Sleeping Dogs recently, and i have to say it's superb.

    Just finished the game yesterday. It was tons of fun. Just wish there were more boss melee fights. ^^

    I'm occasionally playing White Knight Chronicles II now. Trying to be thorough so I get tired while fighting all the time. Whose idea was to make your avatar less then a third wheel? Man what a wasted opportunity. ;_;

    Tales of Xillia and Saints Row IV can't come soon enough.

    Make me play Muv Luv

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Actually, being MuvLuv is probably the only reason I can think of for people to like eclipse. And no, 'no deaths' has absolutely nothing to do with it. The protaginist is a shallow, terrible knockoff of an undeveloped Takeru for started. No direction. Absolute bottom barrel production values. I am quite confident in saying that I think Eclipse is probably one of the worst things I've ever seen.

    You think I like Total Eclipse only because it's MuvLuv then? That is some shallow thinking. And your statements of protagonist, Yuuya, is in no way objective ether. So please, it's ok if you don't like it but don't bring hateful statements with no words to back them up. Makes me question if we watched the same show... He starts off in no way bland but more of an arrogant type, but has pretty more character then Takeru when is introduced at first. And Yuuya pretty much grows throughout the show and acknowledges his mistakes, so I don't see how he is so terrible? And saying that he is a knockoff of Takeru is pretty silly itself. It's not like Takeru is the most original protagonist out there.

    But I see that you're set on hating the series so there is no point in discussing anymore.

    How and when did you realize anime is important to you

    in Anime/Manga Talk

    Posted

    For me it goes way back. When a show called Robotech showed on my TV screen. It was a bit different then the current shows I was watching, Ninja Turtles and He-Man. It was a time when I didn't know the show was actually Japanese. It felt different, like a movie... more like watching a real thing. I cared for love between characters more then I cared for robots, even though that was the first reason the show hooked me up. It was shocking to see that good guys actually die. Aah, I cried a lot...

    Then the war started in my country and we didn't have any channels anymore but thankfully I had first 15+ episodes on my tape. Since my dad sold all of my toys for bread (dark times they were...) I had to imagine a lot of stuff and just play with my hands. And I always dreamed on how the series actually finished, and that one day I'll somehow watch the rest of it. And to cut this short, after the war when I started the so-colled school, I asked around and luck would have it that I found people who had other tapes of similar shows. I borrowed some and began to be attached to anything that has big head and huge eyes. Then I learned that it was made by Japanese and so on. Later came Sailor Moon and few other shows that slowly shaped my childhood. My family member were always telling me that I'll outgrow them, but hey, the joke is on them. My link with anime has never been stronger. :P
