lm009 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 So I remembered 999 came out on ios and i popped over to aksys website and noticed a post about some shinsengumi game. This piqued my interest since(1) shinsengumi from gintama was awesome and (2)I thought it was some sort of fighting game. Well I was wrong and found out it was an otome VN game. Never had interest in seducing guys but I have read/watched some shoujo titles like ouran high, kimi ni todoke, kaichou wa maid-sama, etc. and thought they were fine, so would this game be worth taking a look at? Also partly tempted by the fact I've never played a legitimate VN on PS3(neptunia and atelier having VN-like elements) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukiru Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Experience never hurts, well maybe sometimes but it doesn't matter. I'm myself waiting for an Otome title that interests me, no luck so far but I'm looking forward to playing an Otome for the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Otome games tend to have terrible cases of DIDS (Damsel-in-Distress Syndrome), but if you can get past that, some of them are good. Edit: There are exceptions, like Sanzen Sekai and Asaki, Yumemishi, but those are few and far in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beato Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 From what I have heard Hanuouki's protagonist is supposed to be pretty good and resourceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklord Rooke Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hakuoki is a damn good otome and definitely worth a shot for guys. I'm a guy, played it and liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookwormOtaku Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'd highly recommend it, and here's a review by me to back it up: http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2012/05/hakuoki-community-review/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Soul Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I have yet to try an otome and am interested in trying one or two of them. Besides Hakuoki, are there any others anyone would recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookwormOtaku Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I've heard Sweet Fuse is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lm009 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 thanks guys I think I'll preorder it, I think mainly I really want to play a VN on ps3 but it's nice that it's a decent story even if it's otome. If it was boring I wouldn't waste my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Soul Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 ^ I have played my fair share of boring, horrible VN's. Thanks for the recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkshine Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm not much into otome games with pretty boys for obvious reasons but this does look interesting i'll say that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakimichi Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hakouki centers more on the story, and well...the heroine is totally useless but she's there as emotional support for the guys. My brother enjoyed Kazama's (the guy on top) route the most. Sweet fuse is fun, there are more choices than Hakuouki and has a unique gameplay where you have to select keywords to connect the dots. If you don't prefer light hearted stories and absurd story lines then I don't recommend Sweet fuse. Also it's primary focus is the romance, what makes this VN fun is because its absurd....and for me its fun. Also the game is not as interactive as 999, If you want an interactive visual novel on psp, get Dangan Ronpa but i don't know if it works on ps3. Persona 3 Portable is really fun too, you can choose between a boy or a girl heroine. It's an RPG with Visual novel elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
