  1. Ah ok, that makes sense. I always thought it weird, especially given how freaky some of the desire scenes are. I suppose Eve's sequel, Adam the Double Factor, fits the bill of mostly adult cast (+ awful localisation) too. Although if you haven't played Eve, you'd be mad to play ADF, its hardly recommendable. Would love to try the retconned version that Uchikoshi was involved in, but theres zero chance of even an awful localization and my Japanese is virtually non-existent.
  2. Lol. Never knew that. For some reason I always thought C's Ware did it in-house. Maybe I'm confusing things with the (equally awful) Hirameki/KID Ever 17 release. I always found it odd that Burst Error heavily cut/censored, whereas Divi-Dead and Desire aren't. Garbled Monica Lewinsky jokes aside, I do love those old PC-98 games. Wish they got more love
  3. Desire and Burst Error are classic. Shame whoever responsible for the 'localisation' deserves to be shot. Also a lot clicking around the maps to advance the story, but worth the struggle IMHO.
  4. I'd be shocked (and disappointed) if there isn't at least a text log and some sort of tips list. Telltale format isn't the best for complex plots, it really encourages locking you into decisions more than exploring every path. Its a sad fact that a lot of people find reading a 'barrier to entry', but replaying cut scenes just sucks! Still I'm relatively confident we're in good hands, VLR had very little narration outside all the files anyways.
  5. I loved it. Really wish more vn's were like it. TBH I can overlook a lot of problems in KnS simply because I love the setting, artwork and soundtrack so much. I think on the whole its a better game than the first, even if it didn't have quite as big an emotional impact on me. It does feel like two games spliced into one, in both good and bad ways. I know a lot of these things are deliberate set-up for the third installment, it just grates my mind a bit. Not as bad as the end of the first at least.
  6. It was translated years ago. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P1vFaVBaKvQDwOoa0PiJQibgKokAQvwTm56Cqf_Of3M/edit Thanks for this. I needed it quite a bit for when I start getting all the endings. FFS. I really suffered working through that jp walkthrough, that link would have saved me hours. Didn't even learn any helpful kanji, just 'dead tree' this and 'good luck temple station' that. I'm such a retarded masochist.
  7. Bought it and finished it yesterday. As great a game as the first, although the 'where's the good end!?' impact of it is lessened the second time around. Sugina artwork is amazing, so is the ost. I hope it sells well, I think they have a 3rd in the works and I'd hate for it not to be translated. Don't think I'd ever be able to make it through something like this in Japanese, it was rough enough following a jp walkthrough to get the true end.
  8. Web version crashed Chrome for me. Thanks Doddler. Do love KnS artwork. Definitely gonna grab KnS2 when they finally release it.
  9. At least we now know what titles to put forward on MangaGamers next localization request survey
  10. There's a lot wrong with YU-NO, the 'epilogue' especially, yet despite its flaws I love it. Almost a VN/point+click hybrid.The ADMS (?) system was so far ahead of its time; it puts newer flowcharts (like VLR's) to shame once you've got enough of the crystals. Thanks for the heads up!
  11. Best thread. Literal tears in my eyes. Makes titles like Hypno-Training my Mother and Sister seem reasonable, perhaps even sensible... I'd love to know how profitable some of these more fringe titles are.
  12. Hanachirasu and Kikokugai (as mentioned above). They do swordfighting (Hanachirasu) and kung-fu (Kikokugai) in modern settings really well. Both shortish, action packed, quality nitro+ VN's. Use Tawn's patch to insert English into Kikokugai's newer version with the redone CG's. There's also the DVD release of Phantom of Inferno if you can track it down, although its censored and the translation is of questionable quality. If you don't mind older style VN's then then YU-NO and the C's Ware games like Eve:Burst error have a high action to slice-of-life-waffle ratio, though the older interfaces often have you wasting your time between the genuine bits of content. Either way I still love 'em.
  13. Yeah its odd, its only just released too so that rules out a whole bunch of compatibility problems. If your AV hasn't blocked anything, are you running it as admin? Somethings preventing the exe from opening which is odd given that you got it to install. Are you 100% sure its cracked (unless you bought it?).
  14. I'm a cynical, sceptical bastard at the best of times, but I think its ok to get excited about this! I think its happening. If it is, I can only assume Aksys are throwing money at Spike to get it green-lit, which is pretty much ground breaking. Especially encouraging for a non-ero, sci-fi, handheld VN. I pray I'm not wrong, I don't think I could handle the disappointment.
  15. I don't recognise those errors, although make sure you close utorrent before trying to install downloaded vn's. Otherwise files are locked as read only, which is a problem for some engines (mostly kirikiri though). If you think you've done this, don't worry - you don't need to redownload, just navigate to the save directory and mark it writable in properties. Do you know what engine this is? I think something is stopping .exe files from running. Did your Anti-Virus throw up any warnings on installation?
