No kidding. Every time that beautiful being smiled I was going full ''HNNNNGGGGGGHHHHHH!''. She had it so tough and the fact that you could ease her pain, even a little, was enough for me. Aah, feel like crying... But anyway, the really cute image would be hmmm...

Damn, that is a nice comeback. Kinda kick in a face too... ;_; Anyway Hello, welcome to the forums. I also recommend Little Busters, Steins;Gate, Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo, Ever17 and Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai (Even though it doesn't have all the routes translated)

That's pretty much standard for me. Two weeks or sometimes an whole month. It's crappy that we can get into conversation about the game when all the heat goes down. :/ Dragon's Crown has an awesome artbook, but it's limited supplies only. Hope you get it.

Depending on the plot and a theme I guess. You can't have nukige without it. But for the normal ones, where they are integrated after you get it going with your chosen heroine, like 俊 (Jun) stated the h-scene is mostly like a bonus. I prefer romance over it, but there are some cute and tender ones that I enjoyed, especially the ones where female is more dominant. I don't play VN with hardcore rape involved where girl is pleading for help. It's a turn off for me. But the bottom line is, yeah, H-scenes are welcome but they are not a deal-breaker for me. I enjoy them but they are way below my primary focus.

It's like a nicely written book with pretty images on top of it. The greatest strength of VNs, for me anyway, it's not just the story but the character interaction and learning one's personality. You wont get to know character anywhere else like you can learn in these types of games (aside from few other gameplay-related Japanese games). From the life important things to unimportant things, all that info gives us insight of a character that we are looking at and it's what makes us love them. The choices during the VN, if there are any, drive us to pick the girl that intrigues us the most, be it by her looks or some moe stuff that she showed. But of course, there are always exceptions, like Down said above...

Have you tried any of the Exodus Guilty? Aiyoku no Eustia is also good but still not translated... I guess the setting with might and magic is so compelling that not putting any gameplay would seem like a waste? So far, all the fantasy type VN with gameplay fights were compelling and never annoying. But I wouldn't mind playing one with just the story focus. And I hope there are more in the future. Can't never have enough elves. ^^

Relaxing with Deponia for the PC at the moment. I'm pretty much waiting for Tales of Xillia honestly.

I pretty much agree with this. ^^

Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay. If you have any questions feel free to ask. We are all a friendly bunch. ^^

Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou, although not many chapters are out there. It's really fun for a monster girl lover such as myself. Aside from that I just finished the few chapters of The Legend of Maian manhwa. Dal Young Im really makes great and strong female characters but likes to molest them with his various fetishes... sigh...

I usually just find some characters annoying but Makoto from School Days definitely takes the cake. Actually kills it in this case. Piece of shit...

Aww, really nice character designs. Don't know about the personality, but all of the girls are cute as hell. ^^

I think Yuuji has some awesome lines, mostly near the end of the game. Unfortunately he does tend to take some things a bit too far and made me cringe cuz' of his stubbornness and arrogance. But people find him badass cuz' he ''gets shit done'' and witty lines amusing. But I always look at brighter picture on how others around him feel. Well I wouldn't let it bother me so much if I weren't such a nice guy. IRL I don't ever take jokes too far to hurt someone's feelings. Minase Aoi is probably my type of ideal protagonist. Hard-working, smart, never pushes jokes too far and is nice to the girls. But I guess normal is boring to some. XD

Welcome, enjoy your stay here.

Aah, I envy you. To have someone to talk and share your favorite genre. I was lucky one to buy Suikoden II, probably the most played game in my life. Knights of Xentar was a hidden gem and way ahead of its time. Aside from h-content, the game was pretty damn fun, same for Cobra Mission and Metal & Lace. It's a shame that Megatech software fell apart rather quickly, if they were active we would have had a lot of games. I heard they reformed under MegatechGames but so far they only released Undercover - Girls of Cobra mission for iPhone.

Honestly, the removal of h-scene is no bother to me whatsoever if they are not part of story that will hinder the overall progression and growth of the character. However, rewriting scenes that they are far different from original is entirely different thing and I do not appreciate. So, do it right or don't do it at all. I don't want to play through 2nd hand vision, I want to appreciate it as it originally was.

Welcome to the forum. Hope you have fun with Alternative. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Heya, welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay. ^^

From what I can remember, Little Busters and Deardrops really have good music. Muv-Luv also had awesome intros. But one that really stands out for me is 11 Eyes OST.

Muv Luv Alternative Total Eclipse The shot from the opening, although the image was originally upside-down. Don't know what age was thinking but eh... Note: The image contains strong language.

Ahh, the good old Thousand Arms. Remember the time when I was the only one among my friends to play such games. When I wanted to spread the love they were never interested, saying it was too childish. It was lonely being a JRPG player. ;_; As I said in my intro page, my first acquaintance with anything related to VN style of gameplay was Hexamoon Guardians on psx. Then Gloria fell into my hands and it was pretty darn good. The H-scenes kinda surprised me but it was good... khm... learning material. I think Season of Sakura came after that. At the time I didn't know much about those games so when I played anime/manga style of game I could not know if game had adult material or not as my English wasn't that good then. Yes yes, the ignorance of +18 sign... Do you Like Horny Bunnies fell into my hands and I became even more interested. I had that game installed for a LONG time. Then Virgin Roster came into my hands later and it almost scared me for life. I cried a lot and it was too heavy for me. Then I learned a lesson to always research about the game a bit before playing it. Now I'm less into eroge and more story based VNs.

Just a question... Meiya or Sumika? XD
