Trial was short and okay. Served mostly as an introduction to the characters and what's happening in the countryside. Will start the prequel tomorrow. There's some jokes in between serious conversations. Just that some of the scene switching from serious to funny is kind of jarring. I look forward to what family politics drama and shit that will be in the full game. I hope that year and a half was worth the wait.

>>17605749
Played it for Hotori and it turned out she's fucking dumb and has the shittiest route. Elza's the best character while the whole game is about Akari. I wouldn't say I wasted my time with Senmomo. It was apparent it was only made for one route while the other heroines are just there to fill the sex scene quota for the game release.

Kanishino. There's a side girl whose whole shtick is having a crush on another male teacher from the start and they get engaged off-screen in a handful of endings.
Senshinkan has the protagonist's two male friends with their own separate love interests, and IIRC Asairo has minor nudges towards such thing later on but neither games really go all the way through with it. Out of the two Senshinkan is absolutely more overt about it though.

Finished the prequel. That was really interesting. Gave me a better idea of what's happening during the trial. It shows circumstances in the Yoshioka family and the MC and Juri's past. How am I supposed to root for not-Nono in the main game after reading the prequel?

Yoshioka dad is a cuck.
Yoshioka mom is a slut based from well, what just happened and what Juri told her
Nanoha in the trial is what I assume the mom got pregnant with because of her age and when the prequel was set

泥亀の月 was a nice surprise for me. Wasn't expecting a backstory that complex for what I thought was just going to be a simple love triangle drama. I also appreciated the writing style; it felt "old-school" in a good way, like something from the early 2000s.

i have finished about all i can stomach of marshmallow ouchies and am left with little more than the faint, lingering sensation of shame that accompanies eating an entire bucket of ice cream by one's self. hated almost every minute of it and i spent very little time without a hand on either the ctrl key or my dick. and when those scenes dragged on for as long as they did, sometimes both.

this has only confirmed my suspicions that a) these kinds of games are not what i enjoy, regardless of anything my penis might have to opine on the matter, and b) much like an alcoholic swears off booze forever after a bad hangover, only to be back on the wagon the next day, i'll probably be back again next time something shiny and vapid with nice art comes around.

It's basically a love triangle drama, but there's a lot going on in the background with the corporation and townspeople. I don't know what direction it's ultimately going to take, but the setting has a lot of room for the writers to do interesting things with it. I personally also enjoyed the way it's presented (at least in the trial): third-person, relatively large cast, shifting perspectives. Makes it read more like a novel than a typical eroge.

To be honest it's a bit hard to get a handle on, because the trial itself is short and the prequel story, 泥亀の月, has a very different tone from the main game and focuses on different characters for the most part. I would suggest trying out 泥亀の月 (link: >>17602565), and seeing what you think. It's a pretty interesting little story, even just on its own.

I'm not completely against moege and like some, but Marshmallow was not too great. It's just: Most moege are even worse. Even a lot worse. I tried the Whirlpool release of the same month, and it made me hate all the girls within not even 10 minutes. Marshmallow may not be that great, but it was better than that.

Moege are ultimately just about how much you can resonate with one of its heroines. I think, the moment you are fine with reading more than one route, it's already a failure. How can "you are the only one!" and all the "pure love" stuff work, if you go just from girl to girl, like a horny dog who's just in for the tits anyway? It just feels fake and empty. And if you want tits... I still feel there are better options. Especially in the July release week.

There actually isn't much dabbling into politics besides the scenes where Elsa argues for democracy.

Ideally, the perfect game would have a girl so good you never play another VN again and spend all your time replaying her route, admiring all the posters and figures of her decorating your room, and writing to the company asking them to make more games with her in them. I've played a few that have come close, as in I've bought all the goods of her I can and replayed my favourite scenes with her multiple times, but none of them were good enough to stop me moving on to other VNs.

What this guy said >>17610166 >>17609610
The love-triangle part is at the trial since that where the Iroha is introduced, love at first sight with the MC but reveals that the MC likes(?) Juri. And there's hint of family politics involved in the trial and that was pretty apparent with the prequel. I was also expecting a moege with some simple story going on with the corporations and all but it feels like it's going to be deeper than that due to that hint I mentioned.

And I'm liking the main two chicks already. I went in just because of Iroha who looks like Nono from Yotsunoha but damn her character feels great because she looks like that but has authority. And Juri because of the prequel, she wasn't shown that much on the trial.

I had this shit pre-ordered for a year and a half ago just because of that Nono bonus. Now my pre-order ticket has the ink faded a bit too much.

A completely different cast makes for a completely different experience. But if you have the same cast, the same protag and so on, going from girl to girl will always cheapen the "pure love" aspect. You aren't fine with the girls getting another boyfriend in a different route either. Probably at least. It's a similar thing.
If however you only play one girl's route and say "yes, this was this guy's/my story and I'm absolutely content with it", then the "you are the only one" pure love stuff has more value. The relationship has some staying power. If you think back to the game, this one relationship defines it. Reading another route would just feel silly with a (for you) perfect ending for this game/MC/story. At least for a while.


>>17610205

Interested in is fine. If the other girls are simply shit, then yeah, that's probably not that great. The point however is, that one girl needs to be good enough that you still don't want to read another girl's route afterwards, even though you'd normally be interested. In my case, at least for a couple of months. Not like you have to never ever get back to it. You can even reread the route at that point, if you want to, and rediscover what you liked so much.

Now, mind you, this is super rare. But I do think that if you aren't feeling even somewhat reluctant to just play another route in a moege, the girl and/or route was simply not too impressive. No matter what, if it really was so great, you should feel like you'd rather see more of that girl, rather than playing another route. Or the ending should've been so nice that it'd feel weird to continue after it. Something.

Subarashiki Hibi is a babby's first VN of the worst kind. It's a bad story, a clusterfuck of setting and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive rape faggotry and DEEP. The NEET anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for real deal kids who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The bullies all trying their hardest to look cool, the different kinds of drama, the peculiar, colorful costumes, the whole "tripping out" faggotry and everything about the Subarashiki Hibi world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the angst-ridden character backgrounds, emphasis on heroism, and the overall preachiness of the whole story makes it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes normals and underage retards obsessed with cartoons eat this shit right the fuck up.

Subarashiki Hibi is basically THE series to attract the most hated kinds of (self-proclaimed) otaku known to /jp/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this franchise and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Subahibi threads ever encourage the real deal fags to show their faces here.

Subarashiki Hibi is a babby's first VN of the worst kind. It's a bad story, a clusterfuck of setting and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive rape faggotry and DEEP. The NEET anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for real deal kids who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The bullies all trying their hardest to look cool, the different kinds of drama, the peculiar, colorful costumes, the whole "tripping out" faggotry and everything about the Subarashiki Hibi world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the angst-ridden character backgrounds, emphasis on heroism, and the overall preachiness of the whole story makes it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes normals and underage retards obsessed with cartoons eat this shit right the fuck up.

Subarashiki Hibi is basically THE series to attract the most hated kinds of (self-proclaimed) otaku known to /jp/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this franchise and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Subahibi threads ever encourage the real deal fags to show their faces here.

>Which part of Kanishino had the good writer again
Last time people in this thread discussed it we seemed pretty divided on it. Like the other anon I also preferred the first three routes more, i.e. Miyabi > Tonoko > Shino.
Sumika and Misaki's routes are bit lackluster but Yuuna's is better. However Yuuna's route is locked behind enforced order and you have to complete the other two routes first, in which case be sure go in Sumika > Misaki > Yuuna order. The reason for this is that while you technically can do the first two in either order, Misaki's route heavily spoils and solves Sumika route's main drama.

Also there's a short additional epilogue and additional vocal track if you finish all the routes.

Sumire had pretty good receptions here a few years back. The protagonist being a working adult adds extra point. His narrative about being unable to enjoy anime/eroge due to the hectic work life really resonates with me.

Yes, that's what it tends to mean. For a large amount of people, it is good. Asking in a public place will have most people saying it is good. You won't know what things are good for you personally or not if you post all day asking others about them instead of actually playing them yourself.

Want to find a good first VN for my older sister to read but also don't want her to think I'm weird. Any ideas?

I have like no idea what girls like. Was thinking maybe Steins Gate since she liked the anime and it doesn't have porn aimed towards guys. Maybe I should've asked the BL+Otome Games general even though I'm pretty sure she isn't into that stuff, but from what I saw of the thread they seem to talk about VNs so they might know something.

I'd just feel kind of embarrassed linking her something with porn, even something as silly as flyable heart but maybe I shouldn't worry too much. You'd think that after all this moege and dating 2d cuties, you'd begin to understand girls, but I guess not.

I feel like if you're worried about her thinking of VNs/you as weird, you shouldn't really try to get her into them. 95% of VNs are moege and nukige and the other 5% is still mostly composed of games with heroine-based route systems. So if she thinks porn/anime sex/etc is weird, she's doomed to not get into VNs, and even if she does, she'll be blueballed having so few VNs that suit her tastes.
Incidentally, your problem is rooted in something that I would almost call sexism. You say:
>I have like no idea what girls like.
>You'd think that after all this moege and dating 2d cuties, you'd begin to understand girls, but I guess not.
She's not just "a girl". There are 3.5 billion girls on Earth and none of them are the same person. She's your goddamn older sister. Think about what YOU know about HER as a person, like how you did when thinking about how she liked Steins Gate the anime. Obviously if you think of her as a generic idealistic "girl" you'll struggle to figure out what she'd like, because not every girl on earth is interested in the same things.

That said there are plenty of good all-ages games. Umineko/Higurashi (no memes pls), Planetarian, etc, and more if you mention normie stuff like Dangan Ronpa / Ace Attorney / 999. Just throw one of those at her and she how she reacts.

Also, if she can't read Japanese, GTFO.

Wouldn't be asking in this thread if it wasn't about Japanese.

Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned the whole "girl" thing so much, because I don't think of her as just a random person, but I guess I was trying to be somewhat humorous with how I described it which ended up sounding weird, and also because I don't think she'd have any particular preferences for a VN besides something that has a good story and/or humor, and isn't like a dating sim. An H scene here or there isn't a big deal; I already told her that most VNs are porn and she teased me for it.

I'm really enjoying SakuUta's depiction of the interrelation between art and eros. Some people like to claim the usage as pornography is a negative influence on visual novels as an art form, but SakuUta is a clear and deliberate counterexample to this belief. There's a clear parallel drawn between the renowned historical artists and their love of nude paintings that Kusanagi references and the erotic art commonly employed in visual novels, as this scene highlights. If anything it shows the restrictions on artistic expression non-erotic mediums have.

Engaging enough that I tried it three times and always ended up not continuing it one way or another, because it's deliberately stopping plot progression in forced ways. You know.

God, fuck that game. But really, just shows that if you wanna recommend someone something, take something you yourself liked... I kinda fail to see the point of doing anything else in the first place.

So yeah, >>17625236

The only thing I can add here is that there's a good amount of Liar-Soft works which have softporn. So if you don't want explicit stuff, something like the steampunk series could be working out.

It's okay. The prologue is written by Ou Jackson and is by far the best part of the VN, the writing audibly thumps down several levels once the main game starts and it never recovers, so you basically have to pretend the prologue and the main game are completely separate entities. If you can do that, there's cozy SOL and nice humor in the main game, but it's pretty much as "generic moege" as you can get (minus the "MC is pretending to be a girl to get into an all-girls school") so it's pretty damn easy to get bored.

Sky is one of my favorite games of all time alongside DMC and Ninja Gaiden because of its high speed melee combat and deep combo system thats only limit is your creativity. Bringer looks like a complete 180 from that.
The zoomed out camera combined with the ranged crowd control style combat makes it seem far less intense than Sky. The enemies don't look threatening, all of of the gameplay I've seen has the player walling them out using ranged aoe attacks without needing dashes for positioning or canceling moves to dodge enemy attacks. I'd like to see some high level gameplay of a boss battle or survival mode with some more moves and mechanics being shown off and be proven wrong, but as of now the combat looks like it would get stale and boring very quickly.
I haven't played Heart yet but I've seen a few cool combos from it so I could be wrong about the seemingly dull gameplay of Bringer.

>> No.17635762

>>17635650
I think the devs turned off the UI just for the trailer, hence no combo display for heat gauge whatsoever. What I'm seeing is a bunch of attacks with long animation (similar to the flamethrower in Heart) chaining together. The combo system should still be there.

>> No.17635763

Still outdated as fuck. Heart supposedly fixed all (or at least most) of that though.

Also different isn't necessarily bad. You definitely shouldn't compare a game you probably played way too much and love with some PV video of another game. Not even with your first 10 hours of that game. Or even 50. Because Baldr Sky is definitely not a game that's very accessible either. For example, if you are playing the game fairly casually, the Baldr equivalent of the Tales Iron Stance is going to make you do plenty of run and gunning, because melee is close to impossible. Can build the nicest combos, but if the enemy isn't staggering for a few hits, you get knocked out of it pretty fast.

Not him, but I dropped Zero because its gameplay seemed like shit from the trial and if I'm not understanding wrong Baldr Bringer looks kind of same with you being able to spam one move over and over again until full heat. The trailer also shows one melee attack with pause that's performed twice (and double subs + melee attack + double subs again), unlike Sky or Heart where you can only perform same move once per combo unless you use equalizer for two. When pretty much every single showcased move in the trailers is spam AoE weapon with "long animation" it's a bit telling. There's no showcased air moves or launcher either. Also lots of frame rate drops. It looks fucking horrible compared to Sky and Heart.

I do wish it'll be an improvement to Heart but I wouldn't keep my hopes up too high.
