Visual Novel

Have you been "playing" any VNs recently? I just bought Gnosia and been having fun so far. Any tips on how I should level up my stats?

Please tell me this is better than that other fotm game

Is Gnosia even a VN? It's basically 80% gameplay.
>Any tips on how I should level up my stats?
Just be yourself. I remember Yuriko had some free time events that let you respec your stats if you want, but I only saw them early on twice in 100 loops so I don't know if they're repeatable.

Any new Monster Girl VNs out?

I would say so, yeah.
Honestly, any spread is going to let you complete the game. I forget what each stat is called, but I went hard on charisma and basically lied all the time.

It's like a singleplayer Town of Salem/Mafia/werewolf game, but with story.

I'm enjoying it more than needy streamer if that's the one you meant.

Thanks for reminding me that I should give this a go
It looks like it'd be good

how is that game anyways? I am finding that whenever Any Forums screeches about 'FOTM!' it turns out the game is pretty good. I spent like 7 hours yesterday playing Vampire Survivor.

it feels so good when your stats get to the point that you can overpower her, though

Just play Black Souls/MGQ like all other men of taste
Unless you already finished them + shrift, in which case I'm sorry

Yes I'm reffering to that, also this has gameplay and isn't like a VN?

It's alright. It plays itself pretty straight and doesn't get preachy so it's a nice overall experience with a lot of endings so you can get 10-20 hours out of it if you're a completionist. I didn't find it relatable but a lot of anons seem to have a past with mentally ill girls so it resonates with them more. Ame is really cute though.

Gnosia was the last one I played and it was last year on the Switch. Pretty cool game, and I say that as someone who doesn't really like VNs. I was also considering getting Raging Loop sometime.

Going through Hello Lady, just hit the 2nd intro screen where it's revealed it's not a moege but a revenge story. Pretty good so far, but it's carried hard by the Gary Stu MC (who is entertaining so it's okay). Love his flowery way of speaking

I like both Black Souls gameplay (plays like a Bravely Default spiritual sequel) and MGQ (VN plays like a "jrpg puzzle" game)

>it's not a moege
are you suuuuuuure about that? I played Naniro Reincarnation because people told me it wasn't a moege but it was a fucking moege with one stupid utsuge twist that didn't even have the balls to stick with it

Kneel.

Attached: C_00.png (360x450, 103.41K)

The first 7 hour is a moege, but judging by the intro scene that played right when I stopped it's more of a revenge/supernatural fightan story. Can't tell you at this moment as I haven't finished it yet - it's only an impression I got
Regardless, the MC is super entertaining

Okay, I have a number of questions.

>What was with the giant creepy floating brain?
>If the beginning of the game up to the reveal that you're in a computer is basically accurate except for the addition of Aurora, then was Sen just in the computer simulation for like a few minutes? Because otherwise, no time seems to have passed

It is VN-like, but you'll only be getting VN-like segments here and there as you advance the story and see character events. The meat of the game is you doing RNG loops of mafia-type games and trying to win each one, while on the side working on uncovering the mysteries of each character and why the looping is happening. You have discussions where you have to juggle between trying to shift the general opinion towards your favor and not standing out too much which makes you a target for your enemies. It can get pretty engaging since you're working with limited information and have find the best way to win support, blend in with the others, go off hunches and speculations and target your enemies when you think you can get away with it. The downside is that there's a lot of repeating dialogue due to how often you'll be doing the same motions which can make the discussions feel somewhat shallow and lacking in the psychological aspect, but I don't personally mind it that much.

I only remember the third one. Everything happened IRL like it did in the "simulation", it was just sort of retreading memories. Yes, only like 10-15 minutes passed IRL. You know how your dreams can seem long as fuck? In reality, they only go for 1-15 minutes typically.

I thought it would be an SJW type of game masked by Anime but it actually based. Feels more like Ever17 Out of Infinity with looping, AI, clones and robots. Main issue was one of character being "non binary" but the game actually confirm him as male who wanted to change his body into a freak of nature and it is a far future where changing genders is on the same level as one of the characters literally turning himself into a cat and another character being friends with chimps that dress like American street niggers.

Also every female character is in love with (you) and has a ending when they confess. Best so far is SQ but it only happen when you are the Gnosia and she is human, then you need to betray your companion gnosia so that only you and SQ remain and you need to choose to hold her

>gets outsmarted by a fat bastard

it's a non-SJW game that got some changes due to them, however. It's pretty inconsequential but I am still mad as fuck they patched a game I already purchased with tranny fanfiction solicited from Twitter.

I think I still have it on my google drive
You had like, a stamina meter of sorts too since you can only do so much things for a day so interactions are limited and actions are ""strategic"'

>still wins ans gets the best gil

Is it a localization change or was the japanese script edited as well?

Interesting, thanks for the insight. I won't read this all though, I like to go in blindly

At least Raqio is based because he realizes sex is completely pointless in the pursuit of higher causes like science instead of doing it for attention and thinking he'll have it easier as girl.

how's picrel? Been trying to find VN/RPG hybrids lately, plus I've read the combat is similar to an RTS, which is another genre of interest for me, but it seems not a lot of people cared for this game...
There's also The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante, which seems interesting. Has anyone played it?

Attached: 1613277421291.png (873x874, 1.54M)

I think its just some woke translator, the game itself would only trigger twitter

just our version. The TL;DR is that there is a made up term in game for people without a sex (either by choice or because cyborgs exist, etc). It was translated as 'pan' because the localizer didn't know the context.
Trannies started seething, Playism kowtowed and begged and groveled to the trannies on Twitter, got one of them to 'help' rewrite the scene, and then "thanked them for the teachable moment" and the infamous trash was patched into my fucking game.
TL;DR, bad translation was replaced by an even worse one that missed the point MORE on top of sounding like a tranny wrote it, because they did.

Been slowly making my way through science adventure. Picked up chaos child while it was on sale. First ending was enjoyable and looking forward to the rest.

C;C's 'twist' made me seethe. No SciAdv title is 'bad' imo (except for S;G 0), but none reach S;G's heights.

Yeah him being an arrogant prick is why its not a real sjw game, which would portray him as stunning and brave and not someone who is disliked by most of the crew as primadonna. They also give him a visble adam's apple so people dont confuse him with a girl, although his undress sprite look kinda hot with dicksucking lips

It seemed really interesting to me but holy fuck it couldn't be any more sparse in content and ridiculously repetitive. The event triggers sure seem to get insanely specific and RNG based.

Sounds like you need to read Atri.

Is it essential to play stein's gate as a VN or can I just watch the anime?

the VN is 100% better so I would suggest that but if you have ADHD it's one of the few adaptations that isn't god awful so feel free.

It plays a bit like tower defence where you don't actually build turrets I'd say. You control mechs to defeat hordes of enemies. Can't really tell you the genre, feels unique, but it's enjoyable
Story is pretty fucking great, go in blind

>VN/RPG hybrids
There's the obvious Underwater Ray Romano and Monster Girl Quest. Black Souls is more game than vn, but also tells the story through text boxes

I played Brante, its pretty cool as a single or two playthrought but overall its all scriptes scenarios. Feels like a choose your own adventure short novel from physical books you used to see in local libraries. Theme is mostly about class system if youre interested in that kind of pilitics

Kimika

Visual Novel is leagues better.
As far as VN adaptations go, SG is actually up there in terms of not being a complete shitshow. Id even call it good.
But youd be missing out on this beautiful art-style and Okabe's internal monologue, completely absent in the anime, and its one of the best parts of the VN.

Attached: Mayuri_Shiina.png (372x480, 209.71K)

the only visual novel I have ever played and likely ever will play is Katawa Shoujo

Those people who complained clearly havent played the game. I think the main issue of the game is that everyone declares himself as a human as opposed to mafia/werewolf/gnosia but in reality each of them is some kind of freak of a nature with parasite slimes, cat bodies, doll bodies, robot bodies etc like 2 of them are literally talking dolphin and grey alien who is this games Yasuhiro Hagakure

If Needy Streamer Overdose counts that. For traditional VNs I've been reading Euphoria, although slowly. For some reason I've only been reading it when drunk

Attached: 1641868719667.jpg (960x1440, 295.36K)

I think post loop 40 games is too easy, you can tell almost immediately based on either votes or response to "say youre human" skill who is and who isnt gnosia. AI also are clever enough that they mostly doubt the real gnosia becuase unlike player character they all recognise eachothers lies so if you vote with majority you usually take down a gnosia without thinking

yeah, they completely missed the point. Raquio views himself as above plebian concepts as 'sex' and he lives in a world where that is completely possible because of advanced medicine. Chippie is becoming a cat, and Best Girl is an android with no defined sex, because no military android does.

>you're mad I played the VN everyone fucking has!
uhhh ok

>Story is pretty fucking great, go in blind
thanks m8. Will do. I'm surprised it's not mentioned as frequently as other Vanillaware titles here.
Black Souls seems to have the tone I'm sorta looking for... I just wish the gameplay looked more similar to the art. I'll check out the other two games you suggested.
thanks m8. It's on sale, but Idk if I should wait for it to drop to $10 or less on a future sale... Definitely tempted to get it. How long does it take to finish?

Euphoria was a pleasant surprise.
Only problem I had with the game was the MC being a whiny cunt. You like rape dude, I get it.

Yeah I just finished Subarashiki Hibi the other day, and now I'm finally getting around to reading Little Busters. I picked up Dead End Aegis, Deus Machina Demonbane, and DOR off the JASTUSA sale. I've never heard of DOR before, but the art looked cool. It's hard to find any discussion on it.

VN is better, it give justice to other characters than just Kurisu and Okabe. It feels like nobody ever ships Okabe with anyone but Kurisu because anime only follow main route. The original VN just like Chaos games had routes with main girls so it give more opportunity to explore relationships with Mayuri, Faris or Luka. Also only in the VN you will discover that Okabe is a possible based rapist

Hey, holy shit, which game is that? I really liked Kamidori.

Just a little bit. What VNs have you played user?

I've only played a couple VN's in my life--everlasting summer and one obscure russian VN Omnimus. Bout to play picrel, no idea what I'm getting into.

Yeah I'm liking it so far, did the two filler routes and Byakuya's and now I'm on Nemu's. I agree though, I get having a rape fetish and feeling guilty about it but you're in probably the most ethical position to rape a bitch, get over it

Which one? C;C is Twist: the Game.

Its like 4 hours of first playthrough of reading and like 1 hour if you skip stuff you seen

great. Should be quick to cross it off the backlog. Thanks m8.

Pretty boring first chapter, a wild ride for the rest of the vn

>線香花火に火がともり、チリチリと花火が散った。
Why the fuck can I read the sounds but not know what the meaning is? Ahhh

Disappointing porn, a lot of samurai autism and surprisingly good humor for how dark the story is.

Its actually an amazing eroge with like 12 endings with both staying as a woman with another woman or another man or changing back to being a man and be with a girl. Its pretty much BASED perverted story on being a tranny

It's the de facto perfect VN. It's the gold standard I compare any other pseudo science plot. The ending completely blows you away. The characters are likeable.
...and I read it almost 2 decades ago. I'm terrified to replay, because I suspect it didn't age well and my memories will be shattered.

I wish there was more love for Riruru, but that's just me

Well 灯る (ともる) isn't that common of a verb, but I think the rest should be relatively simple, although I don't know at which level of Japanese you are. 線香花火 is the firework she's holding and チリチリ, as far as onomatopeias goes, is quite easy to understand.

For Utawarerumono? I don't think there's any real difference between the versions, but playing it on the couch is comfier. Might be cheaper on pc because steam sale

Amayui. It's edited MTL but 100% better than the pozzed shit Cartel translations. It's perfectly readable.

Not that user but it was talked to death when it was released
Haven't played it myself but gonna go avoid Any Forums when I can emulate the switch version

I also want to point out it isnt just brainless coomer game with everyone being a slut. Some endings are your typical sex slave scenarios, some are dramas with suicide and some are very touching romantic moments like in Steins Gate. Its a very good eroge with solid writing and translation, i would compare it as a better "YU-NO" game

>You can't even read it.

How else would I have typed it?

I see a Labyrinth Meister and a Castle Meister on Sukebei. Have you played both?

Castle is the one. Lab is the sequel and it's not translated yet IIRC

Been reading these nights Horny Elves and a Moral Orc, it's such a dumb novel and yet I find myself enjoying it

thanks user. Not the original dude but I really enjoyed Kamidori and this seems to be in the same vein.

X change is more for people who were into Yu-No with focus on vanilla girls and romances as well as some raunchy routes. You can get secret girls that easy to miss, you can get emotional romantic endings with some characters or even become a woman to fuck a shota who you were tutoring and then even have a threesome with his dad

Thanks, man. I found Kamidori to be a fantastic game, and the webm you posted seems like Kamidori but more.

IM trying to play I/O but its just so boring. I picked first scenario which is about some smart kid and his childhood friend and they figure out a way to play a simulation MMORPG and after hours of reading i just snooze out. Are the remaining scenarios this boring and long?

Have fun. I'm not even a lolifag but holy fuck those Ior scenes

Attached: cm17.jpg (2560x1440, 1.04M)

people still regularly bring up Dragon's Crown and Odin Sphere whenever the beat em up and hack n slash genres are brought up, though. I'm glad it seems to be good, though. I'll definitely play it. I'm a sucker for games with unique gameplay mechanics.

Would agree that if you cut out the epilogue, the quality of the story increases exponentially.
If I wasn't so invested into Serika I'd probably never even bother reading it.

VN's usually have shit endings. Zero Escape or Laring Loop especially. People complained about Danganronpa V3 but it was unironically more clever after thinking it through and how cartoonish were the previous games

if you don't like it at first you probably won't like it later on, i barely remember it but the entire VN is super convoluted. its not really that similar to other uchikoshi VNs if you're looking for epic tweests and that sort of thing.

>Any tips on how I should level up my stats?
perception to 1
performance definitely to 1
pump the rest more or less evenly

perception is just used to let you know if someone's lying, but you can usually just work it out, especially if you have high logic. it's not worth it compared to getting other stats up that actually affect more important things, like your ability to convince people and your ability not to get killed/voted out.

performance is used to lie which is only useful if you're a bad role anyway. but there are other ways to win as a bad role that don't require you to lie to begin with. with high charm and high stealth, and especially once you have regret, it's extremely easy not to get voted. every day, make sure to do something of your own volition, whether it be covering someone who isn't sus to begin with or just making small talk or something, just enough so that you aren't sussed for being quiet. figure out who likes who and who hates who and play the manipulation game. use your kills on high priority targets that are hard to get voted out (kurushka) or targets who are dangerous because they're too smart (yuriko, sometimes jonas). but check the voting record and discussion log first, you don't want to kill if they're already casting doubt on you. if your high priority targets are gone, use your kills to make innocents look sus. don't be afraid to sell out your fellow bad roles if it keeps your ass safe, but try to avoid it if you think you can. always accept collaborations and once the player count gets low, if you can get a collab do so (check who your supporter is, they're the most likely to accept).

remember that you can respec too. set your class as bug, set players to 15, set gnosia to 1, make sure yuriko makes it through the first round and visit her at night. you can change your stats any time you want doing this.

*Raging Loop

It's fun but by the time you complete it definitively feels like you "solved" it by the end of the game since you can ping lies so easily so Role Statements and "Say you are not a Gnosia" will usually clear the waters, and you generally judge how Comet act (Good Sense, Bad Liar so she is very easy to peg down), but that is just how i played, i just loved the "x is lying" moments.

>mfw I had to play the steam port and couldn't experience the original intended final puzzle

this is what I did. I went super lying stealth build and cleared out every single me as gnosia event and then respec'd into hard Charisma for the rest

I thought it would have some Hitchcock writing where it starts with murder and gets crazier but so far theres really no horror or death, it like a generic teen novel and it actually feel more like reading a book instead fun visual novel

as always, recommending my personal favorite, Dengeki Stryker. If you like western super hero stories before they became pozzed normalfag fodder, or Sentai shit you'll love it.

Actually Intuition is used to check lies. And at level 20 you get an OP "say youre human" which usually filters all gnosia, bugs and AC followers

yeah sorry i couldn't remember the names of the stats. the one that is used to detect lies is the one you should keep low.

>at level 20 you get an OP "say youre human" which usually filters all gnosia, bugs and AC followers
in my experience you usually just get some combination of yuriko, sq, and sha ming refusing, and everyone else goes along with it

They're not VNs, but have you played the SEQUEL series? You get a couple of 'monster' party members here and there (think succubus, not snake girl) and there's plenty of bad ends where monster girls rape you.

nah, in most cases people who keep silent are non humans, and its a great way to discern between revealed 3 engineers and 3 doctors because at least one of them will keep silent and interrupt you. Its also great to take away heat if you have been too loud and annoy humans. All human characters will more likely vote against person who interrupt you or didn't say hes a human

Some relatively recent crap I've read:
Seven Day
Interesting premis, but completely obliterated by for everyone rating. You can tell it wants to be an eroge so bad, but can't. Every heroine was set up into some really dark harrowing territory but coped out at the very last minute for a milkytoast crap ending.

Iwahime
Absolute trash. Takes everything bad about Ryukishi07 and adds nothing good. A shitty horror story where the twist is nothing actually happened.

I want my time and money back. Fuck, I want to get paid for reading such crap.

I like that even in a match the characters are just brimming with personality
Like, say, Ravio is an excellent human because he reveals the inconsistencies of gnosia super fast, while he's a terrible gnosia because he's an unlikable cunt
Shigemichi is a loud retard that's easily swayed no matter his role
Some characters just watching chaos unfold, so on and so on

It's a problem with vidya in general, I have the same problem with people who started Yoko Taro games with Nier Automata. Still one of my favourite vidya around but damn does it annoy me when people only played it for 2B's ass while skipping Gestalt

Do people still use nyan pantsu for torrents?

Started with an even spread. Went to 10 on all, then grabbed the Logic and Intuition 20-point skills. On my 42nd loop. Gnosia role is easy, so long as you don't have to deal with an AC (Bug) on your side.

Yeah that's fucking obnoxious, especially when people will say they love the game and don't even know who A2 is, the fuck nigga

That's me. I played it for 2b's ass and could not give a bigger fuck about the plot or the game itself. I also don't talk about it because I don't give a shit. I also have absolutely no intentions on buying any prequels, sequels or spinoffs.
Be grateful that we made it a financial success.

Hello Lady released just over a week ago and its an incredibly well-written revenge story. I'm on the last arc right now.

You need to see every ending to unlock it, which is a massive pain.
Also, we literally just told you it's the worst bit of the story and you still wanna go for it? I guess it adds some closure for Serika, so go for it.
She might just be precious enough to be worth it.

Some loops can get pretty funny out of pure coincidence.

Is this game worth playing for her?

Hardly.

she's just one of many characters, i dont think she even get the own ending. Setsu, Comet, SQ and Gina are the only characters that fall for main character

You can actually bang Stella if you are male. I did it in my first hour of the game.

i thinks thats scripted introduction to her being guardian angel and i dont think its implied of them banging since she doesnt have genitalia

I'm reading this one.
It looks like like Grisaia to me but it's fun

Attached: HelloLady!.jpg (300x450, 51.11K)

She asked me if I was sexually interested in her at the end of one loop where I was protecting her as the guardian angel and she was the engineer. It did seem mostly teasing and I haven't seen anything more explicit than that other than the scripted event from early on.

Is that the first game?

>Yuriko calls Sha-Ming garbage when he uses his "ability"
They could reduce the amount of tutorial loops since that's the game weakest point. Also Stealth is fucking garbage holy shit.

I wish there was a way to re-watch special events after beating the game

Any VN's featuring mentally ill women?

How can I get romance scenes with Yuriko. She represents so many of my fetishes.

You can't. She hates you.

Danganronpa

Totono
Not sure if it could be considered a VN, but Needy Steamer Overload

Kara no shoujo

Grisaia

Raging Loop is pretty good, though the last hour is some of the worst shit ever. The ending has a terrible loredump and resolves so anti-climatically.

Finished the Tsukihime remake recently, was really good. Currently playing Air on Switch just as a whim because I'd only ever watched the anime back when it came out. Will probably start up the Nadesico game on Saturn once I finish rewatching the anime. On a bigger VN kick now than I've ever had, which is weird because I thought I was kind of over them.

For nonviolent mental illness I like Soshite Ashita no Sekai Yori. There's a heroine that has been pretending to be a tomboy for years because she thought that was how she could get the MC to notice her, and literally every heroine has serious mommy issues.

The Switch is amazing for VNs, especially if you can read untranslated. If you are into oldschool galge I recommend the Memories Off Historia. Not all the games in that collection are great but they have a ton of soul.

I've heard of the series before, I'll make a note of it. Thanks, user.

Is region locking common with the Switch?

No, Switch is region free when it comes to playing games. It's just a matter on if you can read the language or not.

>Switch is region free when it comes to playing games
Guess I should finally dust off my Switch and look at the Japanese store then. I never bothered trying because I thought Nintendo was big on region locking.

Ever heard of YTTD?
Kara no Shoujo is great but very bleak

this was one of the better reccs I got from Any Forums

Can confirm, which is why I'm buying steam deck
Heard some user mention that you can buy a used windows tablet for $100 which you can use for VNs, but I'm also planning to play regular vidya on the deck

I already played Zero Escape, Ghost Trick, and the games I mentioned before. Just hope I'm not running out of the top tier games/VNs in the genre to play.

I've learned that whenever something is called fotm here it just means there's no readily apparent criticisms to levy against it
In practice this means that the only thing people can attack it with is "it's not as good as the near-perfect mainstays of the genre"

Does that include Otome, Kukrushka, and Yuriko? I've seen the events for the other girls and they were more or less predictable but I can't even begin to imagine what scenes for those 3 would be like given the doctor, Manan seething, and Yuriko being Yuriko

I really hated Paradise Killer. Way too much walking around, the story was boring and spoonfed to you (when I was lead to believe you had to piece everything together yourself) and the characters were boring and reeked of tumblr
Obra Dinn is great, Raging Loop is okay with a based MC

I just finished this. Now I guess I have to read the whole thing again in Revelation Mode to actually know what the hell was going on? At least I get to see more of best girl.

Attached: Chiemi.jpg (720x720, 88.89K)

The ending was so shitty and rushed.

I want to bully Rikako though.

The pacing was good, the MC was a breath of fresh air and the rest of the characters were pretty good too.
It's kind of amazing how they managed to drop the ball so hard at the last minute. It still wasn't that but, but yeah, incredibly rushed.

Revelation mode mainly gives you some extra scenes and insight on how other characters think in specific moments. If you want actual lore on the setting read the last extra story.

So we all agree SQ was best girl right?

Attached: 1615732313347 (1).png (1443x643, 2M)

Gina and Yuriko

I felt the writing was kinda all over the place honestly. The MC jumps back and forth from being cold-ass murderer to afraid, and I wish they had integrated the other routes better.

I also felt there was enough downtime or slow scenes to get closer to the characters. Chiemi, Haru and Rikako kinda just through themselves at you, and it feels weird and forced.

The twist at the end was also terrible.

Would you be Manan's pet?

lots of vns feature women

little busters is my favorite vn, rewrite's solid too

i'd have sex with manan and kill her

It's somehow too common in chuuniges. Muramasa, Fate, Dies Irae are all like that, DI being the worst offender

I still don't 100% get it
Like, we know Takumi in C;H looks like that due to his powers but he also is literally manifesting a duplicate of himself that lives as a NEET to try and orchestrate the prevention of Project NOAH but none of the other Gigalomaniacs looked much different. You could argue it was because they were "fake" gigalomaniacs generated by the aftermath of Noah's destruction, but the biggest question is why exactly Takeru could get rid of his Di-Sword and his powers to recover WHILE Serika still exists when C;H established that a delusionary entity only really can become something full manifested through their own will before the gigalomania themselves die from overusing their powers? That was a major thing for Rimi and D-Takumi in the end of C;H, the question of whether D-Takumi should die before Takumi's powers burnt him out completely. Maybe whatever Takeru did to wipe Serika's memories also allowed her to become self-actualized but how the fuck would he have known he had to real-boot her at all?

Over Shigemichi, no less. This shouldn't be possible.

Nah, that should just lead to this then, it seems like it only happens during early game when she offers to team up with you, and has to be be a gnosia in that instance
imgur.com/a/At5XT6c

Sometimes people just really want a certain someone to fuck off, you know

In normal Mafia it can happen and even be logical if there were 2 deaths of people with no role before Guard Duty decides to come forward.
In Gnosia though you can't false-claim as Guard Duty in the first place though.
I've never had it happen myself but I can see guaranteed humans just getting a very high Trust modifier or something, so even if the others "should" know they are 100% safe you can still stack up enough Distrust to get them voted out if you fully commit to it and have the stats/luck to back it up.

I enjoyed the first half, but the second half was disappointing. Trying to get lucky scene hunting yes I know the randomizer helps prioritize them but it's still awful and needing all lore scenes to finish the game is annoying. Otome 4 can actually go to hell, asinine fucking requirements including Raqio.
The actual ending was enjoyable, getting to it was terrible.

Uh no, bro. It's said, and very early on, that Setsu is a military cyborg.
The 'fan-wikis' try saying she's non-binary or some other retarded shit but the game is pretty clear

No, he isn't.

>The 'fan-wikis' try saying she's non-binary or some other retarded shit but the game is pretty clear

the game itself states that Setsu is non-binary, the fact you are making that shit up makes me think the other part of your post is also bullshit

I guess it doesn't really matter what you think since you somehow missed a very obvious and early plot point

yeah in the shitty localization. In Japanese, it's N/A because she's a cyborg

An improper translation states that yes. We're all aware of that.
It also improperly labels Raqio as that, when he'd be more accurately described as an aspiring eunuch.

Well you're mostly forced to play in a specific order anyways. The side stories are also unlocked in order as well.

The only point where you have a choice, do Tamao's route first. In the side stories, Hishia's route is better, but the order doesn't matter really.

>a very obvious and early plot point

then why isn't something like that mentioned in her character notes?

and yet her being Non Binary is?

so that's a letter 'A' champ, not a 'B'. It stands for 'not applicable'. Do you want to guess WHY it's not applicable knowing what you know now and somehow missed in the game? kek

Because it was improperly translated. N/A is supposed to literally mean just that, not applicable.
In case you didn't notice most of the cast doesn't qualify as traditionally "human".

The portrait thing is an actual glitch I think. The text speed is intentional for the prologue, being able to only read bits and pieces of the info dump increases your confusion.
If the portraits keep up once your into the actual loops you have a problem.

no, that's not normal. Are you using Ryujinx or Yuzu? If Yuzu, try Ryujinx. I played it on my Switch so I don't have firsthand knowledge of this title on emu, but it should be playable fully.

>"Killing is bad! B-but I must continue to rape my spider toaster!"
To be honest I was disappointed, I was expecting a real gritty VN about how humans are fucking monsters and it does that but I was also expecting it to take it self serious since it's a VN that covers a lot about dark topics and it gets really goofy. I wish someone told me on how goofy this game can get and I probably would've had my expectations satisfied. Other than that it, it tries hard to hard to be edgy by showing cringe rape scenes every minute. The main character is pretty cool and I like him. 8/10 It's a dumb mecha story about how killing is bad

FOREKNOWLEDGE

>actually gets waifu like a boss
Doesn't he make someone to cuck himself with?

Yes but no

That someone is actually him

I liked all those you mentioned and really liked 428. The "art-style" grows on you and because it's photos, you don't get same poses and backgrounds like in usual VNs.

I played Ep1 (can't remember titles so I'll be calling it that) back in Nov 2020 but didn't start Ep2 until this week because I wanted to read in bed rather than desktop.

Anyway I being filtered by the SOL stuff, it feels like it's just going around in circles honestly. Ep1 was fine since it had the benefit of character set up and the foreboding/tradgey that things will go wrong, and is toyed with as protag is paranoid as fuck while playing the games with the people he is scared with. But the opening of Ep2 have had very long game segments where my eyes are glazing over, to clarify I don't need constant murder I'm just already annoyed a bit with the games. Anyway I'll keep going I'm intrigued in the overall plot enough to push through and it's comfy in bed to read.

JOP cope now that everything good has been translated. All of your never evers are lost. You've been exposed as liars and hype men. Your VNDB scores 'mysteriously' drop 2 points after localizations are announced.
It's over.

What I've learned is that it literally means it's a FOTM and people forget it exists in a few months, only to be reminded by other people who treat the game as a savior and any words from the developers mentioning updates as gospel.

Higurashi is pretty tightly written with really almost no filler that exists simply to pad.
Those SoL scenes are all important to the overall narrative and illustrate a lot of the themes the game covers.
Instead of mashing through zoning out you could try thinking about what purpose they serve and draw comparisons between society, the characters', their relationships, problems they face, and so on.

FOTM is only something zoomers think about because you retards have been indoctrinated into GaaS shit and battle passes.
Games you beat and then move on are fine. That's how it should be. Now end your life, thanks.

What are Any Forums's thoughts on 428 Shibuya Scramble? i remember how Famitsu gave it like 40/40 score somehow and i wonder if its really THAT good.

I'm not a zoomer and I don't even know what GaaS is. Battlepasses are cancer. I'm sorry you're indoctrinated and lashing out against people for having higher standards in games because you are actually a zoomer deflecting your insecurities onto others while you gobble up the slop nonetheless.

I'm like 70 loops deep and am pretty rapidly losing interest desu
I like the characters and am curious about their backstories and stuff, but there's just so little actual story there vs just mashing through a constant stream of I DONT TRUST X, I AM ENGINEER, etc and wildly guessing at the correct roles because at this point I really can't be arsed going through the log and thinking about it logically anymore

No, it's not that good but it's a fun VN and definitely worth your time.

Sorry "Projecting", not deflecting. I still remember games from 20 years ago quite vividly. Play-and-forget games are pointless wastes of time.

people says it's good but i dropped it in the third chapter or so it was pretty bad imo

It's very good and very unique.

>guys I remember every game I rented at Blockbuster 30 years ago honest
uh huh

I've slowly been going through Key's backlog and am just finishing up Little Buster's extra stories.

Kinda felt the same. With how fast the loops are there's just no incentive to really think things through every single time. You just make the obvious plays loop after loop and grind until you fulfill some of the arbitrary conditions to get a new scene. It sucks.

>tfw gnosia Kukrushka
The absolute fucking worst, bitch is near impossible to remove, and by the time I'm finally close, she's already murdered me

I overall enjoyed it but there was a point where it became a bit of a slog, yes.

The ending takes a heel turn into bland anime shit and ends on a IF YOU KILL HIM YOU WILL BE JUST LIKE HIM bit

I'm not saying they stand up to time or were even good then, but to me they were good.

it wasn't exactly "killing bad" but more of "killing isn't ever "good", even if its the right thing to do"

i would liken it to how people celebrate the civil war for an easy example as a great victory over inhuman monsters, and not a un unfortunate tragedy, and how people dehumanize those who are on the "wrong side of justice"

"killing bad" is a simplified meaning that implies not just a moral but also a practical implication, ie "you should never do it". That's not at all what I got from it.

If you people don't see the difference, you're absolute brainlets. its a fucking cartoon powerpoint, how could you get filtered?

Just remember: you'll never, EVER read the actual good shit. Not the stuff that's been hyped by fags who took their first Japanese class last week and pretend to know the language, but the classic stuff that will never be translated, and the new stuff that continues to release without translations.

Killing is badong.

You people said this exact shit about Subahibi until it was translated, now you're saying its trash

yee
vlr > 999 > ztd
the vlr story is just way better than 999

>t..those kamige weren't the REAL kamige..w..we were just l.lying...we still have the SECRET kamige...
LOL

SUBAHIBI?? lmfao

Do you think it's worth pushing through?
I'm at loop 61 now, maybe a bit over halfway through all the chara events, and am starting to get pretty fucking tired of the Mafia/Werewolf parts.
They are just way too "game-y" and formulaic compared to real Mafia and trying to manipulate the game to try and trigger new events is complete cancer.
I'm interested in some of the characters I haven't had any real events with yet, like Yuriko and Ku-chan (only got the Rem and her on Guard Duty survive one, but I'm just really not feeling the actual "gameplay" at all.

Yeah, surprisingly there's a world outside the 5 galges EOPs have been waiting to play for 15 years.

Is there anything you want to say?

>Best Girl is an android with no defined sex, because no military android does.
Wait, when was it said that Setsu is an android? I must have completely missed that.

How did Setsu ever get close enough to Sha Ming to get all his data points, when she hates him enough to just throw him out the airlock every other loop?

I like pierogi with sauerkraut and mushroom filling

Best girl.
I love her voice.

Nah, it's pretty bad

Shit is so funny but also annoying.
>"You are gnosia, sha-ming is your friend"
>Sha-ming is not here
>"sorry user, i couldn't resist"
Though i guess it's actually better to solo as gnosia than have sha-ming as a partner

I'm not getting filtered in fact, the whole morality is about a man who is trying to do the best thing in a shitty situation is one of the best things Muramasa did. I get what you're coming from though, the fact that "you shouldn't do it" does not mean it's bad but at the same point the game is implying that you really shouldn't kill because it's awful and it leads to disaster.

It's why Subaru tells Kageaki not to kill because the only thing that awaits him is anguish and pain, and she's right. The only thing that killing has ever done to him is make more enemies for him and being guilt ridden of both his victims and the people that know his victims and it all eventually leads to him becoming a schizo mercenary since in his mind is that there is no going back once you take another humans life, once you take a life, you become a demon and he embraces it sadly. Although he knows that he's a demon that needs no sympathy, he tries to make others around him realize how horrible killing is. If you ask for his services once he's a mercenary he'll just fucking mog the same amount of people both sides since he's a demon with no value for human life being controlled. Once you're in true end, Ichijou and Kanae believe that Kageaki really is a man who doesn't need to resort to killing to solve his problems and Ichizou no longer seeing how much of a hypocrite his logic is. At the end he meets Hikari, another daughter like figure that he has besides his real daughter Hikaru. He tells her that peace is the most noble pursuit there is because it doesn't lead to the destruction of you and the people around you, he's trying to make daughter not rely on murder to solve her problems. I can go on more with Kanae and Ichijou's backstories and the old boomers but besides the point.

Killing isn't ever good even if its the right thing to do BECAUSE we're shown countless examples of what the act of murder does to people so hence why we're saying is Killing = Bad. It's why the game ends with the words "Peace is the noblest pursuit". The other user is right when he says that this is the most hamhanded motif in a VN. I liked the VN but my only problem is that it was to goofy at times.

What's with the Revenge of the Time Clam shit? What does it represent and why it was even added? Were the devs that lazy to consider the possibility of the real Engineer/Doctor not revealing themselves when Gnosia claims the role?

Good VNs I can play on Vita? I got Muv Luv and Higurashi ready to go on it.

I think they probably figured it'd make things too complicated to follow for the player since you don't get any real conversations and can't really explain your train of thought and reasonings to anyone to try and get them on your side.

oh wait I should have mentioned I’ve already played Danganronpa

The very laws of the universe dictate that the real engineer/doctor will reveal themselves if a pretender tries to claim the role, and that if only one person takes it, that they're definite human, you keeping quiet and letting an enemy be classified as definite human cause a paradox that wipes all of existence

Utawarerumono Trilogy, Steins;Gate, Grisaia and Fata Morgana. I recommended Uta trilogy and Steins;Gate but it's really long since it's three games and the first one is alright but the third is amazing, it's really long so do with that as you well. Everyone has played Steins;Gate so you should do that as well. There's also a fanmade Fate/ Stay Night patch for the VITA but I don't know how good it is since it's new. If you want more just go to the top 100 VNs in VNDB and see what games have an English Vita port. Good luck VITA bro

them being classified as definite human doesn't automatically cause that. i let some gnosia claim doctor alone and be definite human and the loop played out fine. It's when their lies causes some contradictions.
say you let a gnos be engi alone and they say someone is gnos. you vote them off and the definite doctor says it was human. That's the most extreme case but something like that has to go on.

>spoiler

Yes that was my original point here >how people celebrate the civil war for an easy example as a great victory over inhuman monsters, and not a un unfortunate tragedy, and how people dehumanize those who are on the "wrong side of justice"

instead of peace being the noblest pursuit, we often see dominant narratives being that "killing the bad guys" is what the "hero/good guys" should do, and not only that, but that it is an actual moral good and an "ought"

I’ll give all you said a download now
>Everyone has played Steins;Gate so you should do that as well
I saw the Steins;Gate anime many years ago, would I benefit from reading also or no? And how is 0? I’ve only heard of it in passing but haven’t looked into it or it’s anime adaption.
Also are other “;” games worth it? I’ve just spotted similar titles such as Chaos;Child
and figured it was a same universe and/or dev team thing.

Not him, but 0 is worth it for sure. I also highly recommend Chaos Head and Child. Very good, yes from the same people.

>I saw the Steins;Gate anime many years ago, would I benefit from reading also or no?
no in the sense that the big fun moments are spoiled for you, but yes in the sense that everything is better in the VN and you can get insights into Okabe's thoughts the anime didn't have. Would still recommend
but not ELITE; get the original

What's the deal with elite other than the fully animated meme?

>raging loop worse story than all the others listed, even Gnosia
man the ending to that game fucking BROKE people huh

cheers for the help boys, I’ll go double check VNDB when I get the chance today as well to double check for anything cool

-replaced Huke's art with PUKE art lel
-cuts chunks out of Faris' route
-cuts a lot of dialogue (rape Suzuha part, Okabe's internal dialogue)
-removes phone trigger
-it's basically playing the anime you already watched

What was Raging Loop's ending anyway?

Ughh minakami yuki or better Ayana because she’s everyone.

Does Gnosia have ending and some sort of endgoal?
Or is that just randomly generated matches every time?

I played Steins;Gate and I did the SG0 thing where you stop playing the original at a certain point and play 0 then go to the OG game. It retarded fun. If you still want more VNs then I guess the Trails series. They're an RPG series but it's more a visual novel with rpg battles since most of the game is dialogue. Play this when you absolutely have nothing to do since it's like 10 games long or something. I'm in the second game and it's cool. As for the other ; games they're alright but not like amazing as ;Gate but I heard that Chaos Head is good but it isn't on the vita.

Yes, and the ending's pretty satisfying too, though you're going to have to go through a lot of loops to gather all the requirements you need

Should I play Raging Loop without guide?

i dont even remember i play all vns drunk but it was fucking great i loved that game

yes

The paranormal is real but the feast was a paranormal event that over time became a mundane thing controlled by technology as a means to cow the local population from ever revolting. It eventually just became a festival even though the prejudice against the locals stayed. Around WW2, it was reinstated. The time loop was actually a Hex (superpowers or metaphysical abilities that some humans have) cast by the white haired chick to basically run the feast over and over and over to see which outcome would fulfill her goals; the summoning of a country destroying demon to ruin Japan. MC was able to enter because his ex-GF (the sheep) is ALSO a Hex user and is working for an organization tracking them all down and stopping things like this. The little girl was also one, and escaped from some kind of 'hex user farm' where kids were experimented on to produce hexes.

But Rikako was the best girl. That shitty tomboy literally murder you for fun and is mentally forever damaged pyscho. Fuck her and fuck you for simping for her

But I heard that game is very difficult and you should read at least 200 detective novels to be abke to solve it.

Yes, the game will point you in all directions you need to go and for the love of God, read Revelations mode and the side stories after the game.

So many people here cry about the ending and then go 'hurrr I didn't read Revelations' so they don't know what the fuck they're talking about because everything makes sense.
Opinions can be divided as to if it's GOOD or not, but it DOES make sense.

I feel like them ending with 3 alternative routes for each waifu and not revealing true ending at all would be better. True ending is only good if you plan any outright sequel

lol no unless you hate reloading often its pretty straightforward idk what is talking about

The game has some illogical bugs. Only humans can claim to be guard duty. However if your partner claim guard duty while you remain silent, he can be a solo revealed guard duty and it actually draw suspicion of people who will want to vote for that person if she doesnt have a revealed partner. Its dumb becuase even single reveal should gain trust as gnosia nor AC or Bug can claim the role of Guard Duty

Typo, I meant "no, the game will point you in all directions you need to go". It has a flowchart built in. Dunno why I typed yes first.

Other than competent Werewolf explanation to rules, there wasnt much clever writing and a lot of bullshit mixed with supernatural. Ending was so retarded i woudnt be surprised if the main protagonist would have been revealed as the bad guy

worse waifu wins and best waifus is blamed for everything bad

Yes. All things considered the VN is really linear since it forces you into getting certain bad endings to unlock the keys you need for the good endings. It only kind of opens up after you finish the 3rd route and have to loop around to solve the main mystery.

Should I try to finish Myth and Forest? I know they're supposed to be good but im getting filtered by no auto option i hate clicking every line

completely different vns i know but im on the verge of just deleting

I played this game and even i need to admit how retarded it all sound. Considering most fun comes from Werewolf gameplay that the creators didn't invent but just borrowed for this plot is also revealing on how bad the writers are

No because it has the same tree route unlock system as 999, you can't really miss any route if you follow the guide within the game

>becuase even single reveal should gain trust as gnosia nor AC or Bug can claim the role of Guard Duty
That's game mechanics thinking, the actual cast as people don't have reason to believe that it couldn't be a lie, especially when their supposed partner didn't step forward to vouch for them

Peace is the noblest pursuit

How many VN have you read?

maybe a hundred or slightly more. I skip moege these days and stick to plotge or chuuni so my backlog is non-existant.

Grisaia and Senjou no Maou are the only ones to make me giddy like raging loop did

god, maximum number of gnosia with all roles is bullshit. Both times i just ended up carrying the AC along because if you get rid of them at a bad time you give gnosia the majority.
Same for bug. at least you might get a definite human engineer out of scanning that one before icing the bug.

>epic ending like Dangnaronpa V3

"lol bro everything you did was meaningless in the previous games also you're gay and retarded it was all a prank lmao deez nutz"

epic bro

People are still interested in Higurashi after creator watered it all down with Rei, Kira and god awful Gou/Sotsu?

Can you read it without reading two previous games?

brainlet takes won't detract from actually happens in the game. V3 is happening in different universe than entire DR1,2, Despair Girls games and DR3 anime. Its uses it franchise to do something epic with 4th wall without doing standard clown endings like Zero Escape or previous Danganronpa where some big tit ganguro masterminds everything. THose endings were never the focus of the games and Kodaka never even liked them as much as crafting mysteries and mini game

Yes, even i didn't read previous games since they woudnt run on my windows back then when i tried to torrent them 10 years ago

massive cope lmao

Where are you getting VNs?

>year of our lord 2022
>"people" still defend V3 ending

Steam/Mangagamer/Jast/gog, wherever it releases. I tend to favour drm-free storefronts over steam
If I want to pirate I use fag95

When does Ever17 get good? I only did one and a half routes before losing interest in it.

Different guy, but I found some of the latter reveals and events, along with the ending interesting enough to make the slog feel worth it

It was memorable and powerfull. What kind of cringed would you expect it would normally go without it? That Tsumugi is just a mastermind who pretend to be Junko and it ends after that? Do you want more shitty sequels and spin offs? Brainlets like you is what caused Higurashi to devolve into crap like Sotsu or Corpse Party into Dead Patient

Its good the moment you meet a loli cunny and you are locked up with her under water theme park with a deadly virus

Yeah the games is simply being easy to predict and manipuate once you play through over 40 loops. I dont i ever lost one after that and i could manipulate everyone to make me and a chosen character alive if i wanted to. The problem is that AI is not perfect for that kind of games which is why human game is always better since people adjust and change tactics unlike scripted AI personalities. However there isnt many events in he game so i think the game wrap up pretty quickly after you get bored with the mechanics

I don't know man, I've read it long ago, it was one my first VNs. Twists blew my mind back in the days, but I don't think it's that great.

nobody in the west cares about KnS, only SEA and Slavs read it

I will unlock the final Muramasa sex scene.

They still hold up with the great soundtrack, dont tell me you forgot that moment,

youtube.com/watch?v=nUMacfGCG74

zoomers will never understand and think Stein Gate is some pinnacle of emotional ride becuase Kurisu or Mayuri endings

About to start Danganronpa, is the english dub as bad as I think it is?

English dub is actually pretty competent and majority of people prefer to play it dubbed. Its before sjw era so nothing is filtered

>he's mad about sotsu
Unless it for the recaps ur a retard son

You are the retard and i hope people like you are mad over V3 becuase you deserve it. PLay Spikes spin off games because you will never get a real danganronpa sequel ever

Lmao got em
I never even played V3

Why are vns so vomit inducing? It's hard to believe anyone has actually played one. Are you all just pretending?

user you might have some brain damaged if you're this disgusted by reading.
