TakaJun's next project.

>>3419422
He liked it much more than the first two.

>>3419422
#1 game in EGS.
Enough said.

One of the personal favorites, the other two being Baldr Sky and Sharin no Kuni.

I agree with you, OP.

>>3419426
I just read his reviews of Extra and UL.
He doesn't like Takeru, wonder why, he isn't a bad protag at all.

Wayyy better than furry shit.

>>3419441
well he's kinda generic in Ex and Ul, but in Alt he becomes much better, so maybe he says something different in Alt rewiev.

Also, why was Mitsuki so much better and awesome character in Alt than she was in Kiminozo

>>3419459
Mitsuki ain't that bad in Kiminozo unless you think sleeping with your boyfriend best friend make a bad character.

>>3419465
NTR automatically makes a character bad.

>>3419469
Worst character in my opinion is bakayuki.

He don't deserved haruka or mitsuki.

>>3419465
Well I generally didn't like her that much in kiminzo altough I only watched the anime, so maybe she was better in VN, but in Alt she was one of the better characters. So maybe some of the dislike comes from Bakayuki being so stupid, good thing he died in Alt before the story started.

Muv-Luv as a whole (Extra, Unlimited, Alternative, Final Extra) is my favorite eroge

Not in english therefore epic fail.

Come to think of it anything not in english is epic fail.

>>3419524
<< /b/ is that way.

>>3419537
This is /jp/, if a VN isnt in english so we can read it, its worthless.

Easily one of my top 5 favorite games.

Basically, it has some flaws, a bit far-fetched premise (including EX and UL) and a shitty money-milker ending, and on the other hand hours upon hours of total fuckawesomeness. For me, the latter weighs more, but I guess I can sorta see how it wouldn't for some people.

>>3419545
>implying we cant read japanese

Which is because you belong to /b/.

Fortune: You will have sex tomorrow.

Plenty of BAWWWS and FUCK YEAH!

Enjoyed the series thoroughly.

>>3419545
fuck off weakling

Best Opening song in any visual novel.

>>3419575
Screams Toward Tomorrow is fucking awesome, but I still like This Illusion a bit more.

>>3419575
More like best insert song ever. I actually had heard Carry On before playing the game and didn't care about it too much, but when I hit the beginning of episode 10 in the game with that song, I experienced a strange mix of tears and HOLY FUCK. Best scene ever.

>>3419599
Does it actually work well in context? It sounds like shit to me.

>>3419606
Yes, it does. Like I said, I didn't care much about it myself before playing the game.

OST is fucking awesome as well

>>3419422
One of the best vns I've read.
Hell, for those that can't read Jap, it's probably worth wading through ATLAS to read it, since it'll never be translated.

>>3419711
Reading Alternative is my lifelong dream, so I'm not sure I want to butcher it with ATLAS.

>>3419714
The writing quality of Alternative isn't really like that of Swan Song or Cross Channel, in that it isn't such an absolutely crucial part of the game's "atmosphere".

For myself, Alternative was actually the third VN I read in Japanese without any automatic translation aids like Atlas (first two being Yosuga no Sora and the original Muv-Luv). Basically, I had to look up a lot of physics and other technical stuff on the dictionary while playing, but I don't really think it "butchered" the game for me. There was only one part in the game that completely went over me (the long ass dialogue with Meiya in chapter 6... which reminds me, I should probably replay this game at some point. If only it wasn't so fucking long, I'd start right now)

I am playing it right now, actually. Muv Luv was kind of... average so I didn't really have any expectations for Alternative but it's ok so far. I'm assuming it gets better of course. It's still pretty amusing right now though(much better than Bore Luv, the first 2 games)

It's kind of annoying how it'll be interesting for a while but then it'll interrupt the interesting parts with these boring long winded talks with the heroines. Honestly, the heroines(with the exception of Sumika) are the worst characters in the game and whenever they get involved the game tends to take a dive in quality and entertainment. Maybe that's why Alternative has been a lot better so far, there's a lot less focus on them. I really hope it kind of continues in that vein. Also, some of the topics they try to bring up now and then and drone on about like patriotism, war, country politics... I mean does anyone really give a shit, the game would be better if they cut down on that stuff.

I'm only in the middle of chapter 6 though(I think it's 6, where you rescue, you know who. Might be chapter 5)

>>3419912
>with the exception of Sumika
enjoy your yandere slut

meiya mitsurugi, waifu of the year, all years.

>>3419939
Too bad that Kasumi is the superior heroine

Yes, Kasumi > all so far.

gimme Kasumi canon end plz

Also I'm fine with being trolling through Sumika. age can't possible troll me worse than they did with KimiNozo.

>>3419950
Well, they still made the huge cockteasing that is Ayu-Mayu Alternative

oh wow this game is a PIECE OF SHIT

Designs look so horrendous I can't bring myself to play it, no matter the EPICEST GAME EVER hype.

If you don't like Muv-Luv Alternative your a cocksucker.

>>3419422
best vn.

Too drawn out and the linear plot is a let down

>>3419432
no surprise there, Muvluv Alternative and Baldr Sky shares a lot of similarities.

I love them both.

>>3420017
Any reason why girls will hate Muv Luv Alt?

Not feminist enough for them? I see lots of strong willed heroines so it should be right up their alley.

Favorite eroge of mine, and I don't even like mecha. Yes, it not perfect, some things are nonsensical and shocking but overall, it's a great game.

Much better than Baldr Sky but that's just my personal opinion.

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY TOTAL ECLIPSE GALGE, WHERE?! DON'T TROLL ME ANYMORE AGE!

>>3419575
Best opening-ending combination. That's what makes it special.

>>3419599
Cue in Wakamoto's speech for maximum effectiveness.

>>3421976
Although I agree that MuvLuv Alt has better storyline, it's a bit unfair to judge yet since Baldr Sky isn't finished.
It would be like comparing it to Unlimited part of the first MuvLuv.

Also, the gamer inside of me finds fondness to Baldr.
Beating the fuck out of hundreds of mechs in action game is more satisfying than hitting the space or return button over and over to read a glorified novel.

I kind of prefer hitting space when I'm going for a new route, than to kill the same mechas again and again.

But I guess if the game actually was completely linear I wouldn't mind the more action oriented games.

No, seriously, people that don't like Muv-Luv Alt. must be GAY.

>>3422664
If we're talking about multi-path games,
Beating the same mechs with more upgraded pwnage is more fun than clicking through the mostly same text, trying to figure out which part has been read or not.

I don't really get why some people don't like the linearity of Alternative. In my opinion, the concept of the game wouldn't fit very well at all with multiple routes, each explaining parts of what happens in the universe. It would've been a lot worse that way.

>>3423553
Well, what I had hoped for is to go through the entire game... and then have an option to play it again, but this time, it splits off in route.

Like, retain the memory and start again.
Now you know how to save some of the characters, and perhaps make a more effecient dicision.

Basically a type of "True route only appears after trying many" games.

>>3423722
Sometimes you have to sacrifice flexibility (routes) to make a good story. 2 games that played that had those "reset" continues are Badlr Sky and Sumaga. The consistency of both games are horrible. Just because you chose to go to "place A" instead of "place B", the character's thoughts, feelings and sometimes even their personality changes. Shit sucks if you want to weave a great story in my opinion.

And MuvLuv has some kind of implied true end after a lot of tries. It's just it's more player side than game side. Normally, you clear all the routes in a game so every time you read a new route, you're "resetting" the game.

>>3419418

I came buckets.

>>3423722
Game wouldn't be as awesome if you could save them. And if he retained his memories there wouldn't be any point in doing it all again as Kasumi could just confirm everything he says.

>>3424017
Yes, I know.
But like I said, as a "GAMER" I find more joy in the illusion of having the control to myself, not just reading it implied.
Meaning, Muvluv Alternative is a good read, as a novel.
But I wish it was a GAME.

That's where you're not seeing me eye to eye.

>>3424053
Oh, I see.

>>3419415
> Save the English language: http://www.anon[removethis]talk.com/ICARE
I do not like this one bit.

bump

Quick question: is Muv Luv easy to find online? Or am I better off buying it?

>>3426196
I found Alternative pretty easily, rest are probably on Hongfire as well.

on matter of bying, anyone know if âge are planning on releasing muv-luv bundle that would contain all the games (both main games and fandisks) as I'm tinking of bying them, but I'd rather not buy them all seperately as that would be rather costly.
