I'm used to fan patches taking years and years before dying so anything is better here.

Just an FYI one of the Vita hackers has an exploit for current firmware but isn't planning on releasing it until next year. Just in case there are anymore firmware updates.

Finished fata morgana The whole ending sequence was emotional but nothing in a game has hosed me up as much as the stick drawing on Georges

Higurashi Ch. 6 has "entered testing", whatever that means for MG's timetables, so with Umineko now finished I expect they'll start pumping those out.

Just cleaning up Muv-Luv Unlimited. I'm expecting Alternative to be just a gigantic grim fest of people getting mauled. I did finish Umineko (via Prof's LP) and that was the most amazing VN I think I've ever read. I've got enough stuff to hold me until maybe MG releases Higurashi 6-8 so I can finish that in 1 "run" too.

An LP seems like a really inferior way to experience Umineko. So much of that story is about Rokkenjimma being a hermetically sealed little world that reading it through an SA webpage just ruins the basic aesthetic that Ryu07 was going for IMHO, to say nothing about the questionable ethics of textdumping an entire VN that only just recently got an official English release.

I don't really think this thread is the place to discuss the ethics of LPs in general considering there's relatively no wait period anymore and one can argue about playing vs watching video until the heat death of the universe. Reading it in a game file or a website is honestly no different to me. My current setup is basically reading with the volume off because I do it during lunch at work and the sound gets choppy occasionally from my remote client. I know I'm missing music\voice acting but I'm still enjoying what I'm reading and seeing.

In general, I'm with you, and if you wound up enjoying it then that's fine that's what's most important. But Umineko also has really, really good music.

FractalSandwich posted:i was going to LP fault, but they specifically ask you not to on their website, so i didn't. Honestly that almost seems shortsighted of them at this point. Milestone One has been in so many pay-what-you-want bundles I think I'm up to three copies of it now, so it's hard to believe the potential revenue they'd lose from an LP of it would compare to the potential revenue they'd gain from people who get in through the LP and buy side:below at launch.

Heavens Feel is goddamn amazing.  My favorite route in FSN. Deff gonna buy it, if it ever gets officially localized. That's 3 VN's finished since last year. All 3 have been amazing.

Given what you've seemed to like thus far, Higurashi (especially once Ch. 6 hits) and Fate/hollow ataraxia (with the patch to essentially turn it into the Vita All-Ages version with voices of course) would be the next obvious recs I'd give.

Nice. I got HA with the vita patch running. Thank you! Will wait a bit on Higurashi.

After I finish Muv Luv Alternative, I think I need a break from super epic stuff It's just daunting. Since I started reading VNs again, I've knocked out F\SN, Muv Luv, Umineko Chiru, Fata Morgana, We know the Devil, Analogue, Don't take it personally babe, Planetarian, DDLC, Higurashi ch 1. Yeah. I think it's time to read some smaller stuff before I start on Root Double, Fate\Ataraxia, Never 7, World End Economica, Fault.. I've got my work cut out for me.

Never 7 is pretty fluffy and cute, especially in comparison to the other games in the Infinity series. You could go ahead and play it. e: Oh it's a pain in the rear end to get it running right on a modern pc, though. I played it like five years ago on Win 7 and had a hell of a time but it might work better with 8 or 10? Meowywitch fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Mar 6, 2018 |

Yeah Never7 is a pretty chill game, especially compared to the later Uchikoshi stuff. The most traumatic thing to happen to a character is that they don't get a pizza that they ordered.

I dunno, I agree that bungled pizza orders are pretty devastating but I do think that characters dying is at least a close second place. I'm just saying, the game's sweet and light but it's not all sweetness and light.

Raxivace posted:It's been a long time since I've played Never7 now but I totally don't remember straight up suicide happening in the game. As I recall technically (Never7 spoilers)she dies accidentally during a suicide threat that she might not have followed through on, but that's splitting hairs pretty fine. Of course you might not have done that route since she's not most people's favorite character, but there are somewhat dark elements in all of the stories.

Irritated Goat posted:After I finish Muv Luv Alternative, I think I need a break from super epic stuff Compared to what you've been reading I'd say both World End Economica and Fault are much lighter fare than the rest of your list. Also, the individual chapters are relatively short and self-contained for both VNs, so there's no real pressure to burn through the entire thing at once. e: as far as my VN backlog goes I'm still only an hour into the umineko answer arcs because I was waiting for the voice patch to be stable and then trails of cold steel 2 released

More MLA... Can we stop hitting Takeru with the plot baseball bat now?  First Marimo meets Chomp. Other Marimo gets introduced to a meat grinder. Other Sumika finds out how heavy basketball hoops are and now Takeru's technically assisted in murdering ANOTHER Sumika. Jesus christ. This VN doesn't stop

Nate RFB posted:This is largely why, for its myriad of faults (that I have with it at least), the format of Muv-Luv is such that really works best if you suffer through the entire thing, Extra/Unlimited/Alternative, and not just skip straight to Alternative. There is such an impact with these scenes in the context of that whole experience that is very impressive to me. Yeah, I'm basically doing the whole thing in 1 run and the stuff I've been tweeting about is just super emotional. I honestly feel like knowing nothing but the generics of the whole Extra->Unlimited plot made all of this more effective than if I'd known more. Unless it goes bad really soon, I think I'll be giving this a solid 9/10.

Ha ha ha  I hope you're playing the All Ages version, in which case you'll be fine Since we mentioned otome games earlier, are there any decent f/f content games that aren't either 1. barely 18 love interests who are still in high school 2. Sakura-tier cheesecake with jiggle sliders? My gay little heart just wants to see adult women have fulfilling relationships with each other WITHOUT it being fanservice trash It'd honestly be really cool to see a gay game where the love subplots take a back seat to the epic story like Fate/Stay Night, but that seems to be too much to ask, so I'm fine with romance stuff. I've already played We Know The Devil, unfortunately I didn't really care for it. Cool aesthetic but I have gripes with the ending.
