I'm gonna give credit where credit is due and say that the psychedelica game has actually caught me with almost every single plot twist so far. I'm only still on chapter 5 too.

Would it be good for someone who likes mystery stuff but is completely neutral about otome stuff?

Sakurazuka posted:Would it be good for someone who likes mystery stuff but is completely neutral about otome stuff? Actually yeah, the otome stuff was pretty lacking and there are a lot of endings that are not based on one guy. I liked it a lot but it is a very short game. I finished the whole thing over the weekend.

It has more flirting than I expected based on people complaints about it as an otome game; but most of the "daily life" stuff is put into short stories. Honestly even those end up having tons of foreshadowing, and the game does lock your progress if you avoid most of them. That said it's really not much different than steins;gate or others of its type where there are girls to romance and flirting and romantic scenes but that the focus is on the main story.

Also, its not a murder mystery or detective game. The mystery relies entirely on what are the characters backgrounds; where are you; why you are forced to do what you're doing; what has led to this point etc. More fata morgana than chaos;child. So it's important to note that how much you end up liking it will be really dependent on how much you care about the characters themselves. So if the reason why you don't usually like otome is because you don't like soft mannered female protagonists or the type of character troupes of that genre or a cast with lots of guys etc then it probably wouldn't be worth it. If you just really give 0 fucks about romance and that's just that then I think there's a lot in here to be enjoyed.

Princess Maker 5 is out! I can't report on the game myself yet, it's still got 6 hours to download on my rural internet connection, but given the track record of this company releasing this series, people should probably wait for the bugs to get fixed and most egregious translation errors to get fixed. Seeing as I'm a megafan of the series, I will be ignoring my own advice.

That's a shame since I liked playing PM2. In a unrelated note to newcomers to otome there's a lot of variations in the genre and even if ppl aren't interested in dating anime BFs the stories are still entertaining and less disturbing. I encourage ppl who like VNs to give them a try. The Vita has some of the HQ games by Otomate and some PC games on steam. I'd avoid the mobage since they're bad and feel bad. I would say you can ignore the dating elements like in Persona series and just have adventures with your friends like in Code:realize. Aksys' TL is all over the place but their licensed games are often Adventure games + some romance vs 100% romance. For example the next VN is 7'sScarlet and it's a mystery game out later this month.

Aksys this year has been so good to me. I'm into all the otomes they're releasing this year. I love mystery. Psychadelica was real fun too, and I liked how interesting the system was. It was a great way to do slow reveals and feed drop information; though I wished they only ask you to "complete x side stories" in between chapters and not during them. I think this sort of system is a great way to have both a story that doesn't change tone/momentum at every step and also have daily life/light-hearted stuff if improved. MY one only complaint about psychadelica was the casual sexism that would sometimes drop on the story, a shame because it was otherwise real enjoyable.

Agreed and ppl tell me it's a part of that one guy's past but it doesn't really excuse it. I'd be having a good time and then suddenly I'd want to start hitting ppl due to their comments.

I could almost take it as a hint/clue for that guy; but it's present in all of them and not that different than the usual stuff I see in other VNs; so it's just good ol course.

i just finished the House in Fata Morgana a couple of days ago. What a good VN! Its been talked about plenty in here so I wont rehash. I was looking at the steam page for the sequel coming out in like a week while going through the backstage, and well, close enough right!?

I hope the switch thing takes off and that they re release at least the most notorious otomate games in the West. I can finally recommend some VNs without having to add ". .. But it's on... the vita..."

I like the vita since it's relatively affordable except for memory cards. I'm still looking at the switch and it's small library for a while.

Really Pants posted:the best Vita VN is Persona 4 Golden Whether or not it's a VN, this is always the first game anyone should get for Vita. Along those lines, the Danganronpa games are good. Also the Zero Escape games. If you want more otome/less puzzles, I don't know if there's a definitive best, but I would say either Code: Realize or Hakuoki. If you somehow have been collecting PS+ games then you might already have a few others you can get like Amnesia (which I still enjoy just for Kent).

The Dangan Ronpa games are fun but the first two have really dumb endings and the third one has an ending that's fantastic but only works if you suffered through the first two. Play them for fun murder mysteries, not for deep overarching plots.

Does anybody know where exactly Muv-Luv Alternative save files are kept? Had no problem finding them for the first game to transfer them over to the new AppID version, but Alternative is proving to be tricky.

Alder posted:I would recc'd all the otome on vita even the games where I didn't get along with the characters. I liked the MC and thought she was smart; though overshadowed by the anime smart of the two of the LIs. She was her best in the main dudes route. They did the atmosphere of a murder mystery right but the answer to all of the questions was super super easy. Like, I was half into the first route when I had pretty much everything figured out. And it was the less revealing route too. There was a really weird decision to make the MC completely inept with technology and it was really aggravating in one of the routes. Again I though she was actually pretty quick on her feet, and then the writting would bring her down to go in favor of the guys which was p sad. Games should stop doing this lol. I like aiji a lot but almost no one else did.

I'm honestly hoping that well see more localizations of VNs in general if they start coming out for the switch. Maybe people will pick them up and interest will rise. I personally know at least 4 people in my friend group that would absolutely love the poo poo of some VNs but don't have vitas and aren't going to buy one for a couple of games.

Is 7'scarlet more or less worth trying to obtain than psychedelica of the black butterfly? I worry about missing out on vita games but at the same time I never have time to PLAY them, they just pile up...
