So how's anemoi?
I want to read it but it's a key game and sometimes they're great and sometimes they're terrible and sometimes they're great for 80 hours then so terrible at the end they're retroactively awful.

nips cream their pants over Koyomi's route writing about how they cried hard and how much it moved them and it's best or second best route in the game, while simultaneously saying it's just classic predictable most Key-like route written by newbie writer, I honestly don't get them.
It seems Awayuki route is experimental, others not so much. Also, no miracles and happy endings in the story this time at all.

>and it's best or second best route in the game, while simultaneously saying it's just classic predictable most Key-like route written by newbie writer, I honestly don't get them.
What is there to get?
All of the routes are just classic predictable most Key-like routes, it's all about exectution and if you either find the idea sentimental/beautitul or resonate with it thematically that will change how you feel about any given route.
I only have Spica left, gonna do it now, but I also liked Koyomi route the best on all 3 of those fronts


Something that I find really annoying, is the overly formulaic way they try to make you emotinal, by first playing the "terjerker ost 1", then pause "louder terjerker ost 2"(this is your cue to cry), protagonist goes "why....am i crying?". They do this even in some sub routes and nothing takes me out of the experience more, I don't get who thinks this is a good way to do things.

What's there to cope about? There's clearly an upskirt in that CG. You're the one coping about how it's apparently not supposed to appeal to the male gaze just because you're blind.

>>50905530
where are the pussy lips? they are covered on purpose. same color and same shading and same fabric as the skirt. they did the minimum to qualify as a "pantsu mieru" shot but it's clear that the intent was for you to NOT look there

>>50905548
Then why did they draw it in the first place?

>>50905553
so people like me couldn't bitch about the cg NOT having a panty shot, though in practice it's if it didn't

To add a bit, I strategically checked reviews for this route only and people are saying it had very good 背徳感 and that MC NTRs a guy.
Well, by word definition the NTR thing is true, but the other guy is such a jerk I really couldn't feel like MC is doing anything wrong.
Overall, it was fine, but not special. I guess that's ladder for you.

I liked it a lot, its been a while I read a VN that had a locked route system. Inori felt like a deeply flawed heroine with a lot of emotional baggage and autism, my favorite type of heroine. Especially if they have long black hair. I could see this was one of the better Memories Off games, unlike the newer ones that seem to get mixed reviews. It's a shame I can't find any PC release on Sorekara After, I would have wanted to read that too.

>>50910960
They didn't release the FD historia on PC for some reason. You could just emulate the switch version though (not all the FDs are worth reading anyway).

>>50911483
Whatever dude sprite is full of shit I'm surprised people still care about what they're doing.

I'll be legit
When it comes to EOP hate you can't get any more real than me.

I fucking hate those faggots. Seeing them talking about the games I play just feels "icky", I can't explain. I just avoid whatever is translated to the best of my efforts.

But I also need to be realistic and understand that the money those subhumans have is worth as much as mine.

With the industry of games in general in Japan being the sour state that it is, it's very damn hard to keep up with production cost while selling only in Japan.

So while the feeling of sharing games with scum is shitty, you kind of have to deal with it if you actually like the medium and need more people to support it


If Japan was an industry that could be self sustained and the Japs weren't so fucking broke and actually bought shit then I probably wouldn't be posting this.
Oh, the perfect world.

>>50911842

>>50909909
When I was starting out learning Japanese I hated everything but 分る, but now I find myself preferring 解る.

>>50911842
I used to have the same feelings, but it just isn't productive. You don't gain anything by holding on to that much spite.

I used to be a horrible EOP once myself who wouldn't even watch an anime unless it was dubbed, and now I'm bilingual. Some percentage of current EOPs will go through the same journey too.
The best thing to do is be supportive and help the ones who are interested in learning. Acting like an elitist asshole doesn't accomplish anything (no matter how much that might be how I feel on the inside).

>>50911842
Basically this >>50912012
I really cant support them when they themselves want to kill their own industry and country.
>But I also need to be realistic and understand that the money those subhumans have is worth as much as mine.
You realize the entire reason eroge kneels to the west is because steam is the only way for them to access to chinese money right? since gabe somehow managed to convince china to sell them porn and that those patches really aren't part of the game steam is selling to them.

>>50910951
>>50910960
Why even post that you finished a game if you can't give any meaningful thoughts? You might as well say nothing at all.

hfk if true

>>50912269
Yeah i know that's why i said you shouldn't consider EOPs as equal spenders to japan and china since they barely matter, and that is why i said kneeling to steam, because that is their only way to get money from china since no other service will allow you to sell porn to the country where porn is banned

>>50912296
it can't be translated because english has no equivalent of old archaic japanese lingo so the best you can do is feel it out
or go your way to larp something sort of "I have kept thee waiting. Grant me thy pardon." which still wouldn't be even close to the original vibe

>>50912062

You were asked your thoughts on the game and gave a laughably short and boring response, considering it's a game with multiple routes and characters you never mentioned. You don't even need to write a blog post if you're incapable, you could just give your rating of all the routes so we can get an idea of your opinion on the overall game.

that's not an issue in sakuuta, though there is way too much foreshadowing in early chapters that only going to make sense way later

Jesus christ how horrifying

More than 10 years later, and more than 15 years later and the main criticism for SakuUta and SubaHibi is that all the characters are the author's mouthpieces. I remember the same arguments 10 years ago when SakuUta came out.

Admittedly, it's true. At the same time, it quickly let's you decide whether you like this or not. If it's fair to dislike the games for it, it's also fair to like them.

I can also accept this >>50917371 as fair. But at the same time, if you meet the game halfway through and accept that everything is "real", at the moment, for the POV character, it's okay.

As for the plot, I actually think SubaHibi has a pretty well thought out, well constructed plot. Especially as you uncover the back story and what really happened to each character.
If anything, it's SakuUta that has a rather strained plot meant to fully serve its themes and the messages the author wants to impart.

I played both in 2015 though and haven't played SakuToki yet. I need to replay/play them one of these days.

>>50917908
The game where 80% of it is schizo delusions is well-thought out and constructed and the game where it's mostly characters painting and talking about art with some yakuza incest child rapehouse stuff in the backstory that's only really relevant for one route is strained?

>>50917910
Yes.

I only ever liked Chiho from PE cause she supports the protagonist if he falls in love with someone else

I want to just stick to one game at a time and finish it before moving to a new one, but I'm always starting additional games. It's like there're so many VNs to choose from that I'm constantly distracted by all of the ones I want to play.

>i wish i consoomed more media... *dies*

Finally done with anemoi
i didnt read summer pockets, but comparing to the old key it was opposite experience: boring as hell sol parts and actually pretty good endings of the routes
they tried to recreate meada humor but failed miserably, it was just the same sort of jokes all over again and again, there were many choices to have fun with but all of them were tasteless
chiharu, koyomi and awayuki routes were pretty good and actually managed to make me cry, the rest were rather mediocre
i didn't really enjoy the true route which is basically continuation of spica route, even though i love these kind of stories lasting through entire lifetime
the main story line was just way too weak and boring, i didn't like spica much either and mc became annoying asf so getting through all of it felt way too much of a slog and i didn't really feel much emotions from the ending
it didn't help that the rest of the main characters completely disappeared from it which was beyond dumb and all the side characters were just background bots for mc without having any signs of their personal lives of troubles
overall there were some good parts i liked but getting to them was way too boring, i wouldn't be able to handle it if i didn't speedread the hell of all the sol parts
this game could have some potential if only there was maeda to write some actually fun humor

File: 1766521085595173.jpg (669.7 KB)

>>50919942
I read a bit of it and was bored out of my mind.
It looks high quality at first glance but it's only really the CGs and sprites and maybe the BGM, I didn't really pay attention to it. Everything else feels extremely low quality (especially the VA/sprites for the Fukuoka vtuber shills).
And speaking of Fukuoka, I'm pretty sure the game was funded by them or something, it shills the city too much for it not to be.

>>50919693
Imouto route was mid?

>>50919499
I've found a good middle ground to be bouncing back and forth between routes. I'll read a route of VN #1, then a route of VN #2, then another route of VN #1, etc. etc.
You get the nice closure from finishing a story, but you also get the variety that beelining a single VN doesn't usually provide. And when I come back to a VN after taking a little break, it often feels really fresh and almost new again.

>>50920271
Imouto i was honestly pissed off the most because i really loved her obsessed brocon personality but got scammed really bad
Here is major spoiler: his real imouto died when he was young and then some dark energy took the shape of his imouto and traveled with him so he wouldn't be alone. they didn't even go as far as making it her soul or something, just straight up different being. whoever said in the interview that imouto is definitely br fuck you bitch because she wasn't even real let alone br
and even if you ignore that part, the route was focused on the main storyline which was mediocre in the first place, and barely made much sense
if you just look at the ending of the route alone it still managed to get me emotional despite all that, but then it makes things even worse overall because while he cared about her so damn much in her route, she completely disappears at the start of every other route and mc just doesn't give a single fuck about that

>>50920452
Not hovering the spoiler, but damn.
Imoutos are cute and deserve the best routes and story treatment in all games, of course.

>>50920478
I still can't believe that she didn't even manage to make to the true route at least in some kind of shape
it all was so much about family love and all that while almost completely ignoring his supposedly the most precious family member if you judge it by her route
i swear multiple writers syndrome is a true cancer of key

>>50919693
Does it mean I can just read common + Spica + true while skipping everything else?

>>50920785

Is official route order in totsuraba actually good?
i saw this one review saying katan route sucks so better not start with it

>>50921732
Katan’s route has a ton of lore dumps, so you should play it first if you want to understand the other routes better.

>>50921732
Katan's route is great, it's my favorite in the game. I'm surprised that they recommended it as the very first but it really doesn't matter that much. It does lead well into the grand route though.

File: 1696244702221533.png (916.0 KB)

>>50921732
You can read the first three heroine's routes essentially in any order. There will be a reference to a character at the very end of Sophie's route that you won't get if you haven't done Katan's route yet, but it largely doesn't matter. Just, whatever you do, save Sakura's route until last.
Also, I don't know what review you read, Katan's route is great.

Yuki = cute.
And Golden Hour was really good. Though at the same time, there was a lot that could have been better.
It really is a Yuki game, with her route, the main true route, being much better than the rest. I would keep it for last, cause yeah, her route really is the game and it's done afterwards.
That said, the other side routes weren't bad. If nothing else, if you like the girl in question, they're enjoyable as charage or nukige routes. I enjoyed one of the side routes, one was interesting in its relation to the main story and two were kinda meh for me.
Mostly I felt like I want to continue the main story for Yuki route. And the game let's you know you are missing something important.
As is, the game is relatively short and you can tell they really did all they could to justify selling it at full price.

The art was good, especially in H scenes. Wish there was anal sex, since there already were many butt-focused CGs for the girls.
I wish there were more variations for CGs and backgrounds, sprites and voices for side characters etc.
The titular golden hour was described beautifully, but could have been shown more.
That said, I liked how the character sprites changed expressions while talking. A simple effect,. but for some reason I thought it was done particularly well in this game. Maybe the timing was good. What I'm saying is, the script guy(s) did good.

MC was a bit too hetare. Yeah, him getting out of that is what the story is about, but I wish he was a bit more proactive, a bit faster.

Routes:

Ruri - I already posted above, but it didn't work for me. The other guy was too obviously a jerk. It would have been a stronger route if he was nice and the NTR and cheating felt real. As is, I really couldn't think the characters are doing anything wrong.

Suzu - fine, but the least interesting route.

Marika - cliche, but good. What can I say, it got to me. Even if most of the route was based on an idiotic misunderstanding.

Natsumi - fine as a standalone route, but weird in relation to Yuki's route. It felt like a bad end of sorts. You can say the previous routes are the MC stepping outside of the main story, leaving it, but here you're at the final choice, Natsumi or Yuki, and Natsumi is like, you're close, but missed.
If anything Yuki's route felt like the more substantial story for Natsumi too.
The game is rather self-spoilery, even before starting Natsumi's route you can a good enough idea about what's up, but then in Natsumi's route another "ghost" is shown? It felt like too much.

Final thoughts next post.

Yuki = cute 2.
In Golden Hour.

Many reviews already say this, but the supernatural elements at the end, and the ending itself felt sudden, under-explored and under-baked.
I presume the author was aiming for a one-two punch of sorts, being like "look what Yuki did for you" and then "look what you do for her", but he didn't stick the landing.
What I really enjoyed and what got to me, was MC finding his way to Yuki and then remembering how he did it the first time. Simple story, a girl likes a guy, but he likes her sister, but it was done really well. And this was basically Yuki's whole route, except the ending, so all'n'all I am happy with it.

I suppose my ideal version of the story would focus on just that, the love triangle with MC, Natsumi and Yuki, and how it could play out. Maybe add Marika too, as another option.
And it would work without the supernatural elements too. Or maybe keep the forgetting, but using a different mechanism without deaths or disappearances.
Yeah, basically I wish the game was more like WA2.

Lastly, I played the Anthology rerelease.
Supposedly
>「MORE＆NIKO 青春アンソロジー」収録の「ゴールデンアワー」ではCS移植で使う予定だった追加CG7枚が収録されてるらしいです。
and it seems to be true. There was at least once CG in the gallery I didn't see in an online rip.
You might as well get this version, it's easy to find on Shinnku.

Anyone got the 2DGF version of ソレヨリノ前奏詩?
It should be MDS + split MDF files like in the pic.
I got the AS version (MDS+ISO) and the installer crack for it no longer works on Win 11.
And a different 2DGF crack seems to need their specific game upload.

>>50925123

Unfortunately that's the AS version packed with the 2DGF crack that doesn't work for it.

Tomorrow I'll try a Win 10 VM.

I played some of the Dimension Totsu Lovers demo. Does portrait use and voiced lines get more consistent for MC?
I found them a pleasant surprise, but then I was kinda thrown off that they seemed to only appear occasionally instead of being consistent.

>>50926321
Yes. Still partial voiced, but he gets quite a lot of lines.

>>50926262
>thought stalker 2 was good
nevermind good riddance

>>50926404
die

>>50926321
It works on Crystalia rules, only important scenes are voiced. More than in their other games, but you can basically automatically tell a scene will be important and you're about to have either cool action or a big plot reveal if MC gets voiced.

Any vn where the protagonist stays alone in true route?

>>50924394
not sure how i feel about the s;g reboot. the art is technically improved, but i feel like it doesnt capture the soul of the original. in one image, they made kurisu’s chest larger and they made her jacket bigger for some reason. while the jacket difference can seem negligible, it just doesnt feel right and just gives a completely different feeling as opposed to her previously thin jacket. i’ll still probably buy it though to add to my collection

There's not enough time on this planet to waste it reading bad remakes.
You have no excuse to ever read a VN that's less than 9/10. There's enough 9/10 vns you could read them all day every day for the rest of your life.

>>50927194
>There's enough 9/10 vns you could read them all day every day for the rest of your life.
You must have really low standards.

>>50927194
truke, and considering that other mediums exist, things are even worse

though because of the rounding, 8.5+ vinnies are safe to read too

Poisonous arguments aside, I generally agree with the "collect less physical stuff" side.
But supporting creators is great. I just prefer maybe getting a DL version and ideally making a backup for youself.

>>50927208
There's a bit of a difference between 'support the creators' and 'this is a bad cashgrab that looks terrible but I'm going to buy it anyways just for the sake of owning it'.
