  1. Sooo... Ciconia When They Cry - Phase 1 is out now. Is there any word on how long it is? The 33,99€ price point kinda caught me off guard, since it's five-or-so times higher than the Higurashi chapters.
  2. I've been going at a pretty slow pace due to being busy with Code Vein, which released at the same time as Aokana, but I enjoy it a lot so far even though not much has happened yet. (I just reached chapter 6) I absolutely love the amount of detail they've put into the backgrounds! I wish more VNs would take this approach, rather than use backgrounds devoid of people or ones where there just are a bunch of faceless blobs standing around. Let's just take a moment to appreciate the lady sitting at the right edge of the screen, eating something with a blissful expression on her face.
  3. Ef is great and I'm glad more people will get to experience it, but as an announcement that's been hyped for a month as "something special", this was really disappointing.
  4. Those are definitely some nice gameplay improvements. I don't really dislike the new art style, but I prefer the old one and would have loved an option to use the old art and music (although I guess that would bring back the panty shots again, since I doubt they'd alter the original art. I guess you can't have it all. :'(
  5. I'm picking this up as well at some point, but it probably won't be anytime soon since I read the original pretty recently. Other than the confusing route system, I'd say it holds up really well to this day, with great art and music. Couldn't care less about the fact that h-scenes are cut from the remake, since they didn't really add to the experience, but I hope they've removed the awkward panty shots (mentioned earlier in this thread) as well.
  6. Yeah, I've heard that Cross Channel is notoriously hard to translate in a way that does it justice, so I think that localization was pretty much doomed from the getgo.
  7. I haven't read it myself, but from what I hear, MoeNovel's localizations are pretty acceptable nowadays (if you disregard the fact that they're censored, but that shouldn't be an issue with Akari's route since it was all ages all along). Nothing even comes close to the trainwreck that was IMHHW.
  8. Are you reading in Japanese or English? (I'm not sure if the picture you posted is one you took yourself or if you just grabbed one from the internetz) If you're reading the English version, make absolutely sure to apply the retranslation patch ASAP if you haven't already.
  9. Does anyone know if Perfect Edition includes anything else than scenes with Misaki? I assume her scenes are part of her route, so I'm considering putting off reading it until the patch is released, but I'd love to know if Perfect Edition adds any content to the other routes as well or if I can finish them without missing out on anything.
  10. Okay, let's settle this! Steam version: Regular version: The only difference I noticed is that I, for whatever reason, couldn't switch to fullscreen in the regular version.
  11. I think "Starting Speed" means they actually blast off at that speed as soon as the match begins, and then the Acceleration stat is taken into account after that. That's the way I interpreted it at least, although it doesn't make much sense from a real world perspective.
  12. Agreed. It looks pretty bad. Anyway, this announcement made me happy when I heard about it yesterday, and I hope they'll actually be able to release it this year. The (relatively) quick localization kinda makes me wonder why we haven't seen a release of Angel Beats in English yet, though.
  13. Well, I wasn't really serious when I wrote that, since people's point of view obviously differ. (thankfully, since things would get pretty boring if everyone agreed with each other on everything all the time) That said, Lucia is definitely my least favorite heroine in Rewrite. I didn't have any issues with her for the most part when she was just up to the usual violent tsundere antics, and her personal circumstances were actually kinda interesting at first, but then she and that completely ruined my opinion of her. I should mention that my opinion is entirely based off of the original Rewrite, since I haven't read Harvest Festa and thus have no idea what happens there.
  14. Damn, that sucks. I had no technical issues with it myself, but I've had my fair share of it in other games so I know how frustrating it can be. I hope they fix it in some patch so you can pick it up and try it out sometime in the future. It's a great game, and I had a hard time putting down the controller because I always wanted to find out what was going to happen next.
  15. Yeah, I'd like that as well. It's kinda bothersome going into the options over and over again, so I've just stuck with the English translation for now.
  16. I've only managed to find two guides and I imagine it's the same ones you found, where one says the suggested playing order is Rika/Mashiro followed by Asuka/Misaki, and the other one just lists the routes in the order the writer finished them. Confirmation from someone would be nice, but if that doesn't happen, I'm going to assume that the guide that actually mentions a suggested playing order is the one to follow.
  17. It really is, and it's all delightfully crisp since you can play it in 2560 x 1440 resolution! I loved Koichoco and I have a great impression of Aokana right from the get-go, which makes it all the sadder that Sprite halted operations last year.
  18. A disclaimer to anyone picking this up: For some reason, "skip all text" is selected by default in the options. If you don't want to risk skipping through unread text, make sure to change it to "only read".
  19. I'll give it a go then! I've been interested in this VN for quite a while, but I've also been a bit put off because there's supposedly some pretty extreme content in it. Euphoria disturbed me less than I thought it would though, so hopefully I'll be fine in this case as well.
  20. Is there a decent plot in Maggot Baits or is it more or less entirely focused on sex/rape and violence? I'm not into gore and whatnot, but I can stomach it as long as there's an interesting story beneath it all.
  21. Anyone else playing AI: The Somnium Files? I enjoy it quite a lot so far, but they really went overboard with the sex jokes. Depending on the situation, I can usually find stuff like that funny, but when I get bombarded with sex joke after sex joke for hours on end, I eventually get fed up with it. It's like they put a bunch of horny teenage boys in charge of the comedy aspect of the game. One example is when (not much of a spoiler, but I marked it as such anyways)
  22. I actually just went through her route after all, and it didn't improve my opinion of her. Anyway, kudos to the developer. The fact that I feel this way is pretty much proof that they've made a good job of making characters that you connect with.
  23. I didn't dislike them initially, but they did some stuff that I find pretty despicable. I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to skip the routes, since I'm a completionist to the point of it being borderline OCD. In any case, even if I do read those routes, I sincerely doubt they can redeem my opinion of those characters.
  24. Is Chika's route in Majikoi worth reading? I think she's a pretty horrible person, so I'm considering skipping it since I don't really feel like seeing Yamato hooking up with her. The same goes for Kosugi, who I hear has a route in Majikoi S.
