Imouto Paradise fits but its a Nukige.

If you think about it most of Amnesia fear was not knowing what to spect, in retrospective most of the time there wasnt really any reason to be afraid or scared but you didnt know at that time. Some amnesia mods (Like the things in the night) are as good.

Yes Kanon was my first VN but it had some things i didnt like and like: The MC is kind of an asshole except to two heroines so you might dislike him a lot. Most of his choices are being an ass or not being an ass. The Tsundere character is annoying as hell to the point i didnt do her route. The game is packed with drama, some good and some bad. I will admit i did cry in one heroine route. I think the art is still nice, not over the top just a little mundane. Sex scenes are short and VERY few so the VN doesnt lose too much focus because of them. True love is more of a proper game with stadistics and events based on said stadistics, Kanon will be a click until you get a choice.

I cant find sales figures for PR but so far it seems it met expectations, i guess you are right. What poll was that? Because its strange seeing that preference when the genre itself is full of ciphers so how can you dislike them and still be a VN fan when hardly a protagonist has its own character (As in has a face, voice acting and strong personality)? Anyways i cant wait for the technology to allow a voiced naming feature, will probably take a while though.

The date sim genre did better than the Vn genre, they even had "golden years" compared to the VN genre wich has always been niche with few tittles ever selling decently (Clannad is probably the only VN that ever had mainstream popularity and that was mainly because of the anime). Sadly yes the genre is dead but at least it isnt dragging on the mud that Vn are doing right now. @Texasdice I was talking mainly about the naming feature, and to be fair PR is niche as hell. Compared to the surge of popularity Persona has, not to mention PR is more liked because of the crazy cast. But yeah it depends how you approach games.

I disagree completely, in VNs they intentionally make the character witouth much features (Like no face, VA or no parents) so players can immerse themselves and adding a naming option it increases the chances of that happening. Thats why game like Persona are so popular, because MANY people see the characters as YOUR friends and not the character friends because the MC is there to represents the player and not some author character wich increases immersion. I think no adding naming function is why VNs dont fare well compared to date sims (That and the gameplay). Anyways as for the topic Lovely x Cation series do that but you have to choose from an available list of predeterminated names, bothe love plus and Tokimeki Memorial 2 uses a system to allow the name you type to be voiced (TM 2 is a little more restrictive though.

Amnesia is definitely one game that has to be experienced by oneself, playing alone at night with good headphones and fully immersing in the game (All of this the game encourages you to do so) is one of the most scary experiences gaming offers and the story is quite interesting. Watching someone play will NEVER be a substitute for an actual personal experience. System Shock 2 is pretty good as well, its more like an horror RPG and the graphics might not be impressive in these days but believe me the game atmosphere is still strong and the gameplay quite unique. I played it like 2 years ago and it was fantastic. Good playing there. My favorite is Silent Hill 4 and i agree psychological horror is one of the best kind of horror for videogames, a shame RE 4 didnt stick with that and turned into a TPS.

By the way an interface patch for Gold has been released if you want it. It works witouth problems for me so far. http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/432440-Eiyuu%2ASenki-Gold-Interface-patch

The scariest game i have played was Amnesia The Dark Descent, i even dreaded to play it at night but i just had to play it that way, great game. As for movie the thing with Kurt Russell, the effects are amazing and not knowing wich one to trust added to the fear.

My criteria goes more or less like this: 1-Blue haired heroines first. 2- If not the most cute/hot first. 3- Tsunderes at last. Wich is why in Kanon i did Miyuki route first but i havent finished Makoto´s yet since i hate her personality (Tsunderes are the worst).

My internet is slow and i cant afford the space forever so i seed for a month or when the upload matches the download and then burn the game and delete them, i dont seed when i dont like a game however.

I think it would be a little less ankward if they didnt show his head, like dont show anything above the kneck and you are Golden. I have played some eroges with MCs with face and i have noted that most of the sex scene dont show the MC face (Like eiyuu senki) so maybe the artists dont know how to portray expressions with the male characters. Also you dont need a MC with personality to make a great story, Mitsumete Knight has one of the deepest story of any date sim and the MC doesnt talk besides dialogue choices. Sure with VN is a little different but if proper games can do it why not VNs?

None, i prefer the silent protagonist (Like the Asian from Mitsumete Knight) or the Shepar-like protagonist (Like the Kendo Crush protagonist). But really i can play as any character as long as is nameable.

Compared to how many seiyus the game has i think it has a lot of VA, only treasure and some story events arent voiced while all heroine events are.

Imouto Paradise is good, not translated but Imouto style is even better. If you dont like imoutos Atelier Kaguya Honky Tonk Pumpkin makes excellent nukiges with many animated sex scenes.

Welcome here its fun so far.

Of course even easier since you have many options: -Both games have translations of the effects of the items you can equip available in PDF/wiki. -The first game got an interface patch so you can see anything besides the story translated. -Gameplay works like FE weapon triangle -Exploit an enemy weakness for more damage but increase their skill metter (Like hit a sword user with a gun user, you will deal more damage but the enemy skill metter fills faster). -Dont exploit an enemy weakness and you deal normal damage but fill your own skill metter. Basically the gameplay depends on character positioning as skills have different target areas. Its pretty simple and fun to play, the downside is that there arent any choices besides choosing the MC name and the story is linear but the cast its really impressive and fun. Lastly i agree TC, Rance is a douche and i cant see how people like him (Rance is a literal manchild).

They do have gameplay wich i would probably make an exception depending on how good they are since i love SRPGs.

Indeed that games have been inplementing more complex stories as of late however even for JRPGs the gameplay is what sells the games and wich will allow these stories to be experienced. However VNsare known for the lack of any gameplay element besides hitting the next button and making a choice every now (Wich is why Date Sims are an slightly more profitable genre just look at Tokimemo and Love Plus) and then wich is why the genre will not come out of its niche, more when most of them have sexual content (Even when they dont need it)

This user says he wants to translate for a team, go fetch it before someone else does. https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/6458-vn-translatorscripter-for-hire/ I suggest release what you have translated so far so maybe other people see about the game and pick some interest.

Welcome why dont contact the loverable team, they are going to drop the project from the lack of a translator. https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/6523-dropped-loverable-project-40-prologue/#entry165153

Its really a shame that Alicesoft loves to put rape on their games, they sound so cool gameplay and storywise but that just kills it. Hopefully dungeon and dolls dont come with it as i have been enjoying it so far.

I disagree with what has been said about it, i mean Link Gordon Freeman Crono Mario Samus Adol Christin every Dragon Quest Hero and many more have been far more popular than many well developed characters and most of them have little to no Personality. You can still make great games with a no personality MC and still make a great story. What happens around the character is what is more important and what stays more with you. That being i think Japan would benefit more from making more no personality characters if they arent going to give him/her its own character since as of now most MCs are too developed to be player inserts and too underdeveloped to stand as its own character.

I hope too, luckily Lovely x Cation is being translated so i cant wait. Thanks for the welcoming.
