Mr Poltroon Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 >Judging an entire Visual Novels OST after 5 minutes of reading Why do people do this? its like calling an anime series shit after 1 episode To be honest, any piece of medium, even if it ends up being a masterpiece, that leaves a terrible first impression is bound to have people desert it before finishing. I won't say that in this case it's terrible, for I have yet to play it, but it's the VNs job to make sure the reader will be captivated long enough to get to the actual plot. Then again, 5 minutes of playing isn't exactly fair to the visual novel either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madvanced Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm maybe halfway through Comyu's 1st route and it has been so much better than I really thought it was going to be. The common was pretty good, but I like the fact that they aren't blatantly concentrating on the heroine of this route and are providing plot as a whole. It really suits the dynamic of this VN.

Tatsujin Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 >Judging an entire Visual Novels OST after 5 minutes of reading Why do people do this? its like calling an anime series shit after 1 episode Your quote. I read Comyu for like 5 minutes and gave up. The music is dull .. bleh. I'll resume it maybe some other time. I'm gonna resume Hoshizora (was it called? the one with the ONII-CHAN ONII-CHAN ONII-CHAN annoying girl). Not to mention I was introduced to the 4:3 screen ... Muv-Luv Alternative is in 16:9 and it was released in 2006, not 2009. Has anyone read Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai? It was released few weeks ago and it's getting 10s slowly. VNDB. The art is very beautiful ... this is the type of VN that should get translated. At least I'd like to think. My quote. I didn't dig into Comyu for the small screen, goofy art characters (there's probably a reason behind it), the BGM wasn't my type at all and there was no effects like how Hoshizora has things popping in, out, blurring. Or how the small tingly effects happen in Grisaia. So far it's only 5 minutes, but the BGM turned me off plus the goofy art characters. I'll pick it up again when I feel like I want to burn some extra time on it. I also don't like fantasy that much ... it has to be seriously good which I can't comment on Comyu since I haven't played it. And please spare me your negative thoughts. Keep your thoughts positive. Comyu is not "shit" even though you indirectly related the last sentence with how people judge things with the first anime episode of the series. I only read Comyu for five minutes and couldn't put up with it. That's all. I'll decide if it's good or not when I get there. But my mood is not set to tolerate Comyu at the moment. I'm just an individual with opinions. -- Reading Hoshizora, this sister is cute and annoying. Nice story build up so far. I'm gonna follow the recommended route guide and see how things unfold.

Glad to see someone who thinks the same as me, it's a damn good thing that Coµ's routes are more plot focused than heroine focused, even if I like all of them (and that explains why I'm one of the rare people not liking Mayuki's route much, too heroine centered) I started Higanbana and finished the first story, good atmosphere and writing (it's Ryukishi, duh) but I except a more captivating plot for what comes next. Also I need to finish Clannad, I stopped right after unlocking After Story, I was so bored... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are VNs that I feel that work with heroine centered routes, but for Comyu I like this way much better, it suits its style.

Yeah that end really left an impression on me, it's something no one was expecting to see even from a bad ending. Now onto my progress in Comyu, just finished the first route, great entry route but I just can't shake the feeling that the end was a bit anti-climatic.

nohman Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I finished up Amane's route a couple of days ago on GnK. The only route I have remaining is Michiru's, though I think I'll finish up what I have left of Koichoco before I move onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydro Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I finished up Amane's route a couple of days ago on GnK. The only route I have remaining is Michiru's, though I think I'll finish up what I have left of Koichoco before I move onto it. I'm doing Amane's route first up. Haven't gotten too far into it, will be continuing tonight. Hoshizora, on the fourth night ... same damn shit just different scenarios. When will things progress? Wasted time on Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai. Rereading Grisaia no Kajitsu's common route. It's been ... more than a year since I've read this stuff. None of it comes to me as I'm read it. Hoshizora's common route goes on for a while. But unlike Grisaia's constantly brilliant common route, Hoshizora's is more just grating than anything imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsujin Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 ah .. ..... yeah, Yuuji's the one that made the whole game really fun to read and kinda had a good exposure to the ladies around him. I had good laughs today from reading Grisaia.Hoshizora is ... I'm not sure? I like the annoying sister, but its so over done that makes my head go god damn shiit.

Ezeefreak Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 So I finished the Shizune Route in Katawa Shoujo. I'm not that happy as after the Hanako Route. It feels not that emotionally, but I think thats simply how Shizune is. So I think I go on with the Rin route. Greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
