Yeah it actually worked great, the music kinda stuttered every 15-30 seconds for a half second or so but I think that might just be because I use an ipad 3 which is getting kinda long in the tooth, I played for a little bit the other day on my iphone 6 and it didn't have any problems. This was on local network though, I don't know how well it would work over the internet, depends on your connection I guess

Nothing really, we were about to go to bed so I think my wife was just reading stuff usually My computer is connected to the router through Ethernet and my iPad was maybe 30 feet away on the same level of the house with full signal, I really don't think anything was going on with the network, especially since it did run better on my phone. I think it was either splash top being buggy or my iPad not keeping up or something.

Do any of you cool cats who know way more about Higurashi than me know if Miotsukushi-hen is a thing that we'll ever see in English? I wanna see the supposed far better ending arc than the actual ending arc

Doubtful, but I really don't think it's necessary either. Matsuribayashi has its issues for a few parts but the actual capital E Ending of it is plenty satisfying. The changes that Miotsukushi made always sounded like they just retreaded a bunch of plot threads that were already plenty resolved in the previous three arcs. Plus doesn't it not have the "puzzle pieces" segment? That had so much important back story!

Anyone familiar with whatever this is? It showed up in my feed when I was filling up the Backerkit stuff for MuvLuv. "Category: Chunibyo, comedy, highschool romance, moe, vampires." Those sure are some words. It also seems like VN translation is now a crowdfunded thing, which is probably not bad per se considering the niche audience.

Steins Gate is a good game as long as you are willing to throw away like 15 hours on the bad parts to get to the really good parts IMO it's worth it I REALLY like the last half of stein's gate Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Dec 28, 2015 |

I even like the first half, the one people constantly say "oh, yeah, it drags on, and it's bad, and I hate it". All the science explanations, all the ridiculous dumb things Okabe would do, all the little details that are just right on how an online community centered around a message board works, I loved every bit of that.

Yeah I mean I dunno it was sort of intriguing but I really wanted them to get on with it and wished Okabe was not such a creep (it's a LOT more tolerable if you play it again because you know more of what kind of person he really is when poo poo gets real but you have no idea about any of that at first) I honestly don't know if I would have played it all the way through if people in the Vita thread hadn't said it's very slow, stay with it, it gets a lot better but I'm glad I did at least, it was my second favorite game this year after Undertale

Thanks, everyone who recommended Code:Realize. I bought it a while ago but only got the chance to play it over my holiday vacation and it has the distinction of being the only otome game I've played so far that didn't have a single route that completely creeped me out (though St.-Germain's went to some bad places before resolving pretty well). Unfortunately, I then proceeded to start Amnesia: Memories, and I'm dragging up this perfect reflection of my own feelings about the routes: dmboogie posted:Urgh. I've been playing through Amnesia: Memories after getting it for a buck back in the Steam Thanksgiving sale. It certainly wasn't my favorite VN ever or anything, but I was enjoying it. Ikki's route had a pretty decently sized helping of standard otome creepy poo poo in it, but it was never too terrible and was neat overall. Kent's route was legitimately pretty great. Then there's loving Toma. Playing Amnesia helped to solidify some of the praise I had for the way C:R handles its routes/endings. Amnesia's bizarre "blindly pick a route right at the start before you meet anyone or know which path you might want to go down" route-selection gimmick was, I guess, fitting for a character who wakes up unable to remember anything, but it also landed me on Toma's route first of all. I really prefer it when there's a common route followed by a branching point, and I also didn't love the way some of the responses that gave you more "points" toward a dude's good ending in Amnesia seemed so arbitrary--I much preferred the way that C:R's branches either led to interesting glossary tidbits or just quickly ended in a bad end. Amnesia also badly needed some chapter-select or scene-skip options, but of course those wouldn't play well with the way endings are determined. Are there any other English otome games out there that place as much focus on the world/story as C:R? (And maybe also have gameplay closer to choose-your-own-adventure than dating-sim?)

Well I don't think it has much gameplay beyond choices but Hakuouki is generally hailed as being a Really Good otome game with a story that pulls in players of every gender and interest.

I always recommend Sweet Fuse: By Your Side because the protagonist is amazing and actually yells at the boys when they are idiots. There's *some* game play where you solve logic puzzles and the choices you make are more "choose your own adventure" which eventually lead down someone's route.

Whenever the villain is an rear end and/or the love interests say/do something particularly dumb, Saki has the option to yell "What's wrong with you?!" at the offender and berate them until they stop their foolishness. More often than not, this is the best course of action. There is one love interest who turns creepy in his route. Not coincidently, Saki yells at him more than anyone. Definitely worth checking out. My only issue with it is that on repeat playthroughs, the routes are mostly the same for the first 3 chapters. Still, that's what text skip is for I suppose. Edit: Missed this: Amaryllis posted:I played the first release on PSP and liked it pretty well: that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Is it worth getting the PS3 version for the extra content? The PS3 adds a bunch of unlockable side stories in which the Shinsengumi are transported to, get this, A MODERN JAPANESE HIGH SCHOOL! Can you believe it!? In all seriousness, I'd stick with the PSP version you have. That said, if you like high school AU's and can find it cheap, by all means get the PS3 version.

Yeah, I'm not sure I care enough about the wacky high school shenanigans AU to re-buy Hakuoki. (Though I would probably double-dip if the main storyline was expanded at all, or if they released the Vita version in English. It's been a long time since I last played it: I got it shortly after it was released here.)theonlypie314SA posted:I always recommend Sweet Fuse: By Your Side because the protagonist is amazing and actually yells at the boys when they are idiots.

General consensus in Japan on Root Double from what I've read is that it's one of the best VNs to come out since Steins; Gate so I have high hopes for it. I'll probably try it out after I've finished Higurashi.

I've been reading through Clannad (steam release). It's really good, which isn't surprising considering its popularity. To be clear: I've never seen the anime, and went into the VN blind. So far, I actually sobbed during Fuko's route, and literally fell on the floor laughing in Kotomi's route (during the scene where she recommends the Bible as a book for Tomoya to read). Though the other routes that I've played were simply OK I guess. Ryou's was the worst, because it was literally Kyou's route but you stop halfway through. My ranking so far is: 1) Fuko 2) Kotomi 3) Kyou 4) Nagisa 5) Tomoyo 6) Ryou Will definitely be trying to finish before I go back to college in a couple of weeks.

That sounds about right, most people would probably have a similar order though I remember liking Tomoyo a lot more. As a FYI due to CLANNAD's extremely obtuse route structure you are going to have to go through Tomoyo's again once you finish Misae's because they put her light orb at the very end of Tomoyo's for some reason. I think the other major one is that you want to do Fuko's before Nagisa's (if you've lost a light orb at any point during Nagisa's route then you are all set, otherwise you'll probably take care of it when you do the old man teacher's route since it is 99% the same as Nagisa's). Its got its technical annoyances like above and the artwork is from old Key which is an acquired taste at best, but I'd still say that top to bottom CLANNAD is the best work they've done.

Hi thread I just grabbed Steins;Gate in a certainly futile effort to keep myself from throwing too much money at the RD kickstarter. Is there anything I should know going in? And uh....what's the rewind/read previous text button (on the Vita)? Also is there any news at all about the Infinity series getting re-released in English? Every once in a while it seems there's some rumor about a Steam release that really gets my hopes up before not actually amounting to anything.

Apparently on mine Square opens a menu that allows you to view the backlog. I swear I tried that last night but maybe the prologue has some restrictions on it. Anyway now I'm a few minutes into chapter 1 and I really like pretty much everything about it so far, even the art seems interesting.
