    What are you playing?

    So recently I played a few different vns

    First I played Season of the Sakura a very old vn from 96 and I thought it was pretty decent

    It had that old style charm even if the whole look, talk, think mechanic is dated as hell. I thought it was also weird that it is plainly set in a high school even though the vn claims otherwise.

    After that I switched tones completely and wrapped up playing Higurashi part dos

    I  thought it was pretty creepy though the ending seemed to be trying to be mysterious for mysterious sake

    Also, does the beginning of the story start the same for each chapter? I can see how that might get stale

    How many of the same festivals will I witness?

    After that I switched gears yet again and played Lingua Fleur: Lily a short Chinese vn of all things

    I really enjoyed it and I loved the fact that it was actually set in a University for once. Plus, the writing was actually very well done. I was impressed

    Now I decided to play Cupid because tonal shifts are fun for the whole family.

    These achievements though:jinpou:

    So I finished Chaos;Head after like 8 years of having it in my backlog and I enjoyed it for the most part

    The last chapter was really great but a lot of those earlier chapters were not so much

    It spent way too long building up tension and focused too much on Takumi's school life which mostly consisted of him going "....."

    So much of my experience was spent mindlessly clicking the next lines of dialogue while being bored by the scientific psychobabble

    Spoiler

    I did like the battle with the army of Seria's that tried to pummel him into bloody bits like every Otaku's nightmare, still would have preferred a better protag

    Also, like, no epilogue? This vn hella needed one. So it's a 7/10 for me

    Now, to play another yuri

    The fastest you've ever dropped a VN?

    I remember another one from ages past

    Yo Jin Bo

    I decided to give it a try a long time ago and was  pleasantly surprised by the princess protag since she seemed pretty strong willed

    Of course after only about forty minutes she is abruptly switched with a doormat of a protag who is useless and get's embarrassed easily

    So I dropped it right during the hot springs scene (Of course it had a stupid fucking hot springs scene)

    Visual Novel Steam Sales Declining?

    I think Nurse Love Syndrome hasn't done as well as Love Addiction to a lack in marketing I mean even me a yuri connoisseur only heard about it's release well after the fact

     

    Another reason is because a lot of the better vns are being drowned by shitily translated vns and DL site spunk trash

    Muddling through Chaos Head

    Man I remember all the time I spent trying to get this damn vn running back in the day

    So far my impressions of it are pretty average

    It's got some interesting things to it so far but I can't get behind the protag
    He's pretty awful in so many ways

    At least he's an actual character though instead of the typical blank slates

    How many chapters is it anyway?

    Your favorite voice actors/actresses?

    Mark Hamel

    I loved when he voiced the Joker

    Only in the OG animated series though

    Fuck the new adventure of Batman, fucking pricks

    (He was alright in the Arkham Asylum games)

    Ron Perlman

    I loved him when he voiced Slade in Teen Titans

    He's got an amazing talent and I'm still awestruck by his presence

    Miyuki Sawashiro, she voiced Mint Blancmanche so I'm bound to love her

    Yukari Tamura cuz she voiced Ranpha

    Rino Kawashima cuz she voices so many characters that I like

    I really loved how the game let you play out the same scenario in so many wildly different ways.

    Yeah, that's why I loved the ending so much because I felt that they seamlessly blended the routes together for the most part

     

     

    I also finally finished Amane's route in Hearts Wings after like 600 years

    It was a good ending to a decent enough route

    Banter and bickering

    Hmmm good banter is my fucking jam

    I'd say the banter in G Senjou and Sharin No Kuni is the stuff of legend

     

    Campus Notes - Forget Me Not has some really fabulous banter as well

    All the Key games that I've played have some pretty good banter between the characters Clannad and Rewrite being the best for it.

    So, I just finished a route on Yandere. I can't understand how people can enjoy this and say that it's good unironically. 

    Yeah, Yandere was pretty fucking garbage. That scumfuck deserved everything he got.

    Crimson Gray and it's sequel is actually very enjoyable however.

    I finished playing Steam Prison and I liked it quite a bit

    The protag was good, the world building was pretty solid, and I enjoyed playing through all the route, well, except for Valentine's.

     

    I think the true route was the best out of the bunch

    Also,

    Spoiler

    being Fin is suffering. I'm glad Cyrus didn't end up with him

    I typically don't give up on vns too often, most of the time I just kinda stop reading but it's usually with the intention of picking it back up later on (whether or not I actually do is it's own thing)

    If I decide to play a vn I typically try and play for a few hours to see if I like it

    It took me quite a few hours to drop Hatsukoi 1/1 because I thought some of the girls were decent(especially Maya and Kyou)

    Alack and alas the protag was a spinless, pathetic, cockslap and he brought the whole vn down with his mere presence

    (Also, the whole cafeteria plot thread was by itself stupid and shallow)

    Well I finished playing Cinderella Phenomenon and I got to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think that is almost entirely due to how great and well developed the protag was

    She felt like a kindred spirit and I felt I could really empathized with her, I also liked how she showed a remarkable amount of growth without sacrificing the things I liked about her personality

    The dudes were alright except Rumple, boy was he aggravating as a character and his route was the worst out of the lot.

    It was a mistake to play his route last

    I might give it a 7 or and 8

    If I give it an 8 than it's all due to the protag

    I'll probably play steam prison  next
