Ever17 is supposed to be really good, right? I played half an hour? an hour? 10 minutes? and nothing really grabbed me like 999 and VR. Should I give it another try?

Ever17's problem is the build up is the vast majority of the game, and it's definitely slow with some really boring scenes but the payoff makes the twist in 999 and VLR look tame in comparison. And I mean that in the best way.

Also I just realized when looking through the patches at the Translation Wiki that both Never7 and Remember11 have 100% English patches now. I guess it really is about time for me to read the Infinity series. V Oh, okay. Guess I'll just stick to playing my big stack of new Vita VNs instead.

It's a Western dating sim, but Coming Out on Top is probably the closest to what you want. Even if they weren't Japanese-only, pretty much all VNs with dating gay men are targeted exclusively at pandering to female audiences anyway.

Unless you really like dudes getting raped you should prob stay away from the BL VN scene in general.

Well I`ve got a strange game to recommend for anyone who can read Japanese. It`s one of the more bizarre VNs I`ve ever seen/read but it`s definitely enjoyable in its own weird way. I don`t want to put it up on the 2nd post as a real recommendation since it`s not really going to widely appeal to a ton of people but: Do you think learning is fun? Do you have a fondness for old nursery rhymes? Do you like spending dates talking about fascinating subjects? Well boy howdy do I have the game for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKXuADFsHdo Mother Goose no Himitsu no Yakata Blue Label/Mother Goose`s Secret Mansion Blue Label is a VN where you are drawn into your own bookshelf. Girls representing (indirectly) the old nursery stories you used to love so much are waiting for you in a mysterious mansion. Turns out you can`t go back to the real world until you have re-awakened in your heart the love for rhymes you used to have. How do you do this? Why, by taking quizzes on rhymes of course! Yes, this VN consists entirely of taking quizzes about nursery rhymes and getting rewarded with a little bit of story with whatever girl you pick if you can ace a quiz. The quizzes are incredibly random and hard, but you can (and are probably expected to) cheese them by accessing the rhyme database within the game at any time during the quizzes, allowing you to simply look up the answer to any question you don`t know right away. The collection of rhymes is... exhaustive, containing 203 rhymes along with a brief explanation about who wrote them or some of the subtle, hidden meanings in a lot of them. All the rhymes include both an English and a Japanese voice-over and the game even goes so far as to have a playlist/favorite option for you to listen to a bunch of nursery rhymes in English or Japanese whenever you want. The included rhymes are everything from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to weird math riddle rhymes to that one about the girl who killed her parents with an axe. Each rhyme is also accompanied by a piece of art. The art styles and images are just as eclectic as the rhymes, with some being very beautiful and some being creepy (in a good way) or bizarre. So how about the actual VN part? Well... I hope you like learning. This is definitely not a game very interested in romance, except for the love for knowledge. My first two dates with the girl I randomly picked to go for first involved us bird-watching and talking at length about species of birds, and then strolling along a town street talking in-depth about European architecture. Yeah. There really isn`t anything else quite like this VN (except for the version without `Blue Label` in the title, which is an otome version of the same game), and it tends to go for quite cheap since it`s a very niche thing even among VN fans in Japan, so if you can read Japanese and have a PSP I heartily recommend at least giving it a try.

Is this game part of a series? Because a while ago I saw a visual novel with the exact same premise (complete with quizzes), but with dudes instead of girls. Or is Nursery Rhyme Dating Sim a genre.

Yeah, the maker Quin Rose usually does otome games so the first Mother Goose game was for girls. Blue Label, the one I played, is the remake made for guys.

Junpei Hyde posted:I'm phoneposting so I can't easily get a good picture but I'll recommend Corpse Party for the PSP. I would just like at say that I do not recommend the sequel, Book of Shadows.While it is closer to a visual novel than the original game, the stories in it are poorly written, too long, or involve inappropriate stuff happening to a character that looks like a child. And only one of the eight stories are scary.

If the sequel ever gets localised you might need to YouTube up the last chapter which is the only part that isn't an alternate what if scenario but otherwise it's 100% ignorable.

I hope the sales of the new Higurashi game (which seems to be selling pretty darn well) will lead them to consider porting Umineko to the Vita as well. It doesn't have quite the same level of popularity as Higurashi, but it would be nice if they consolidated the two PS3 titles and slapped them on the Vita like they're doing with the Date a Live games.

I'm not sure if this is within the purview of the thread, but there's a Let's Play of Steins;Gate and I wonder if it's Author ProfessorProf transcribed each word, how many words that is in toto, and what kind of personal hell he was trying to escape in doing so, and also when its release date for PS:V is.

Well, the Let's Play is based on the old unedited fantranslation, before JAST USA bought the rights to it and rewrote and edited it into the official retail release for the west. Probably still a lot of transcribing though.

If it's the same LP I'm thinking of it was pretty bad because the OP edited out a lot to speed up the pacing or something but really all it did was make a lot of scenes flow really weirdly. Anyway judging by script size Steins;Gate was around 1.7 MB which puts it at about half the size of Higurashi Kai. Not that super long, all told.

I'm only an hour or two in, but I'm really glad I picked Aiyoku no Eustia as the first VN to play on my new Vita. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tezWg3FSGY I'm not used to VNs having this good of pacing right off the bat. It really pulls you in with one thing right after another. It also doesn't dwell too long on any one thing, and is very good at keeping your interest by introducing new characters or concepts at a good pace to spark your interest in the plot as you go through the intro. I can't make any broad sweeping claims about it yet since I'm still just starting, but I wasn't expecting to be this hooked in right from the get-go. Also it's nice finally having a non-school setting for an August game. Their character designs all tend to flow together with the only difference being the school uniforms from game to game, so seeing their usual style applied to something more fantasy-like was refreshing. Anyway here's hoping enough people are buying this and Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai so someday they'll decide to throw us an all-ages version of Fortune Arterial. Edit: Though if anyone can explain to me what the heck 不蝕金鎖 is supposed to mean I'd be in your debt. I mean I get that it's a made-up mafia or something or other for the game but I don't get where they're going with that title. 'Un-spoiled Golden Chain?' 'Un-hidden Golden Chain'? I guess it would sound cooler if I knew what it was supposed to mean. Getsuya fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Mar 15, 2015 |
