Vokoca Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Finally got back to Hoshizora and finished Yume's route. At the end, I thought that it was actually good, but then it suddenly wasn't actually the end and the VN went into full-bullshit mode. Hyper space wave sensitivity sickness...? Seriously? Was that the best they could come up with? And what was wit that double ending? That probably bothered me the most... were they unsure how to end it so they just went with both? I wouldn't even mind if it was executed better, but they just rolled back time like it was nothing... and I won't even get started on how little sense the second ending made. It was funny how I even cared more about Mare than Yume at that point. Anyway, I see the VN still isn't over... is Mare's route even worth reading? I honestly can't see anything they could add to the story without it feeling useless and stupid. But it's not like I hated the VN, still an 8/10 for me, though it's leaning close to 7. Depends on Mare's route I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So I started and finished Ballad of an Evening Butterfly, and it is by far the strangest VN I've read so far. Going to read My Girlfriend is the President next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolverk Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Completed Reminiscene, all routes. Overall I enjoyed this novel quite a lot. Though it did kinda hard these weird routes at the end that didn't add any big points to the story. They kinda told some parts of the story that you wouldn't know of otherwise. But the be honest some of those routes were simply.. Boring. Noticeable Rin and Nozomi's routes. Aki's route was great, Kizuna and Akusera was okay. The secret route ofc I liked haha. Routes were a lot lot better combined into the story in Akatsuki no goei Shuumatsuron. Almost seemed like the writer in reminiscence made the story, then added the choices. Well this might just be kinda messy because he will contiune the story in the sequel. We will see I guess. I am popping back to reading Draculius now. Kinda put that one the shelf way to long because my slow reading at the time messed up the pace in the novel. I read a lot better now haha. So it feels a lot more natural.

FruitsPunchSamurai Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So far i've done a good portion of Lovely x Cation and so far i've enjoyed it. The dating sim elements and romance are done pretty well. And Sera Sensei is damn beautiful and sexy you know. I also like that you get to name the protagonist ^•^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vokoca Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Just finished Mare's route as well. It was pointless as I thought, and the h-scene was just... ugh, but at least the rest was really cute, and the ending was sweet. Overall, while the story was kind of lacking, the presentation, art and soundtrack were very nice. So, as I thought, 8/10 for Hoshizora no Memoria for me. I've been reading some more AXANAEL in the meantime. My favourite character died, and seeing how the story is built, I'm really starting to doubt the roulette parts are random. Well, I still hope they are, I will have to try once I reach the end, whatever it might be. Currently, the story went completely bonkers. If you disliked the second half of Chaos;Head, stay as far away from this VN as possible, because it's going even beyond the ridiculous territory. Really not sure what to think of the VN at this point, it'll all depend on whre it goes next, and if the roulette even has any variables or not.

silverpikachu99 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I just finished 'Conquering the Queen' and I'm just dead. I didn't think nukige could go that low. The story was bleh, the soundtrack was bleh bleh and the H-scenes were just disappointing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysrumble Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I started reading Katawa Shoujo. I think the history around the project is really neat and the end result wasn't too shabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famichip Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Finished with Sayaka's route in Majikoi A-1. Loved the extra 'service' they put in this route. Azumi's next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alucard Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Now, if you want terribly narrated h-scenes, read Fate/stay night. The narration completely ruins the mood in most of them. Really, I think in one point one of the heroine's lady parts are compared to seafood, and in another one Shirou says that the sex "feels so good he could vomit". Not joking. Can't be worse than the descriptions given in rance games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookwormOtaku Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Been playing Yoiko's route in Tsujidou-san no Virgin Road, gotta hand it to Minatosoft games for telling you when Japanese holidays are (it's apparently White Day today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkshine Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just finished Da Capo II, took longer than I should have and wondering what I should do next. The ending didn't make sense to me with what happened to Sakura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Does grisaia have choices? It feels like I've been playing a while without any type of choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kynbound Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Dont worry. Keep playing and you will eventually reach them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitsPunchSamurai Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If the robotics;notes PS Vita port releasing in JP gets localized to U.S i will be a very happy man. Also you'll reach the choices eventually in Grisaia, though sitting through that long ass common route is pretty tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forythos Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I haven't been reading VNs much in the past few months, but I've been trying to get back to it and finish some of those I had started. I went back to my old game of Fate/Stay Night this week, currently up to day 10 of UBW. There's also Rin's route in Katawa Shoujo that I've been trying to finish since it's the last one I've got remaining. Surprisingly good so far, considering she was my least favorite before that.

Guest Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Am I the only one who thinks Grisaia is just too freaking long ? It's sloooow ... I can't finish the game because I get bored every 10 minutes because nothing happens ... Once you are set on a route, unless it's on michiru's or yumiko's the actual story doesn't kick in until at least 4 hours of gameplay ... And this is so annoying, especially when I have to endure 4 hours of Makina ... The character is soooo annoying ! Please tell me her story quickly so something can make her interesting God damn it !

I actually liked how long Grisaia was, since it was filled with amazing humour and likeable characters. Dragging VNs can get really boring, but that wasn't the case of Grisaia for me - there was no amazing plot getting teased throughout the common route, so I could focus on the jokes and characters and enjoy them, instead of wanting to get through it all as fast as possible for some better plot. And come on, Makina is awesome. The funniest character from the bunch! HowdareyouhavedifferentopinionsIdon'teven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muv-Luv Extra felt like much more of a drag at a tiny fraction of the actual length. Grisaia was an incredibly enjoyable read for me from start to finish, with humor that made me actually laugh out loud on a regular basis.

Vokoca Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Couldn't help it and read a tiny bit more of Senshinkan. Damn, Akira is pure cuteness. The ADV parts are much easier to read, though I still think I'm getting way over my head here... just 5 months of proper japanese study behind me, after all. I was thinking of reading Akatsuki no Goei instead-- how's that VN? Also, to the people who read I/O, is the ending really so bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
