To be honest, I got over that scene pretty quick, but that's only because I was too hung up with the other scene which is even more visual, disturbing and heartbreaking (and also more controversial due to the nature of it). You mean this sound? I always get goosebumps hearing this Edited March 19, 2018 by wei123 Trickay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkael Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've been played great Eroge such as : 1. Subarashiki Hibi (complete) 2. Chrono Clock (complete, all route) 3. G-Senjou no Maou (in progress, but focus only 1 heroine route) 4. Dracu-riot (complete for 2 heroine route) 5. Grisaia no Kajitsu (complete for 2 heroine route) 6. If my heart had wings (complete, expect 1 heroine route) 7. Many more ... Subarashiki Hibi such a mystery plot story, so it will be great if finished the story, thought ... But chrono clock has the unique plot story, not such cliche development story. But for the rest Eroge, just took for 1 or 2 route that "worth" to follow.

Chris J. Cinders Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I’m currently reading Family Project. Matsuri is super cute. Chuunhua is also pretty nice. Jun and Masumi grew on me. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to like Aoba though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thyndd Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Muv-Luv Unlimited, done! Yay! I've only read Meiya's "route" but as far as I know the differences among routes are limited to a couple of scenes and h-scenes which I don't even have because steam, so I don't think I'm missing anything important... hopefully. Man, I'm so pumped for Alternative. This is gonna be fun Spoiler I got a little emotional there at the end of Unlimited. Farewells always hit me really hard. A weak point of mine I guess. Overall I'd say Unlimited was definitely more fun than Extra, though I have nothing in particular to say about it aside from a very good production value.

Yeah there isn't much you missed on, so you should be fine. However, I think you may want to apply the 18+ patch on Alternative, for full impact (though it's optional). Moving on, I'm sure you will enjoy Alternative more. If Unlimited is a good production, then Alternative is a godly masterpiece. If you thought Unlimited was depressing enough, wait till you finish Alternative . Since you're playing the Steam version, I suppose you won't be witnessing wonderful Engrish.

However, I find the first h scene to have lots of impact so if you view them uncensored, you might feel the full effect of it. But then again, I only played the 18+ version so I wouldn't know if that scene had as much impact in the all-ages version as it did in the 18+ version so take my advice with a grain of salt Thyndd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riku Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Just finished Chaos;Child, and man, that was disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I honestly think it was good, just that I don't like how it developed, as well as the ending. Still think it was good, and I don't regret reading it, though I guess I do regret it took so many hours of my time. Other than that, it REALLY made me want to read Steins;Gate again (as if I didn't get enough of it with the anime 3 times and VN once), just to remember there is a work of this studio that I actually love through and through. That and I just want more Kurisu, never enough Kurisu. Now I need to read Renna's route in Tsujidou (hope I'll be able to...), then after playing so many games/VNs I need to go back to LNs for a while.

I disagree. In the end, it's just two short scenes in a 50+ hour long VN. The second scene isn't even particularly important, and the first scene is still intact, it's just the visuals that are censored. I looked through this scene in a let's play of a new versions, and yeah, I agree that it was slightly more impactful in the 18+ versions, but in the end, is that one short scene really worth waiting for the patch which, after all this Degica vs. ixtl drama, will probably take another eternity to complete?

Inorin Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Oh yes, i forgot that the existing 18+ patch by Amaterasu Translations isn't compatible with the Steam version, my bad. In that case, go ahead with the all ages version. 8 hours ago, Thyndd said: EDIT: But from what I can see, the patch isn't even available yet? What a bummer...

Trickay Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I'm playing steam version of muv luv alternative, I imagine that the first scene you're talking about is where Takeru takes advantage of (in my case) Meiya before running away to the parallel world after Marimo dies? For me, even though censored it was a very impactful moment, and the conversations and lack of eye contact later certainly imply the dreadful deed happened. I think I'm likely near the end now, though I believe, please don't spoil, a horrid twist awaits me... I can feel it, as (avoid reading this Thyndd as I'm 30hrs in now) Sumika's memories are hinting that Takeru is going to have no place to return to, just speculation, I don't want an answer. Have to take my hat of to Yuuko, she literally thought of everything. However I would like to know how much more reading time I have? I'm about to storm the hive with Sumika in the XG-70. However I feel like I maybe building up for a big twist, not an ending. I'm so glad I did all routes in Extra / Unlimited, so many little links and nods in Alternative.

Edit: don't open the spoiler if you are still at the Sadogashima chapter!!! Spoiler It's the scene from Sumika's memories where she was reduced to a single brain.

Thank you both so much wei123 and Dreamysyu, I am indeed at Operation 21st, I'm quite the slow reader probably because I like to let the dialogue fully play? I'm truly glad that you edited you posts, I didn't read anything I shouldn't have, but more importantly you let me know that I have much much more reading time to go. This is fantastic news as I do not want this roller-coaster ride to finish! So I've learnt I have a semi-impactful, as censored, h-scene on the horizon... I had the 18+ patch for Extra / Unlimited as was a backer; which was totally worth it just for Marimo. I take it once I reach this 'impactful' scene it might be worth a google? That said I probably won't as I've generally avoided doing any googling for fear of spoilers, which is ridiculous considering I've had another version of the game sat on my HDD for many years now. If I had known I was going to enjoy this much I should have just read Muv Luv Alternative earlier. That said I'm glad I paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyndd Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Here I am just barely at episode 6 of Alternative. I must be careful not to read any spoilers Things are starting to move ever so slowly. Spoiler I find amusing all the bashing and roasting to the US Keep it going. So that is the role Sagiri is playing in Alternative and the reason why Ayamine's route was kind of important in Extra, huh? All this political and military embroilment is getting a little confusing, and I'm not sure who is responsible for what exactly at this point. The satellite incident must've been the US doing, but without the support of the pro-Alternative V faction, right? Because I think Yuuko said that it was not in their best interest that Alternative IV failed right away, before completing all the planning for Alternative V. Now they are ganging up, and with what objective, I wonder? Perhaps the US has agreed to wait till Alternative V before launching an offensive to the BETA? I mean, weren't they anti-Alternative for whatever reason? I wonder what they are planning. Dreamysyu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
