でしょ～？^^ Doruji is simply adorable.

No time to play any games recently at all (except short sessions of Luminous Arc here and there. Aya-chan's Rushia is 99% Haruhi and 1% broom maniac ). So nothing to write this time.

Narcissu... Tomo-san, done yet?
Geh, the web release date is changed to Summer ever so discreetly.

[kct]

I know this might be old...but started on Tenshi no Inai 12-Gatsu days (actually, weeks) ago...been playing here and there, but unfortunately assignments takes up most of the computer time.

Well, for a start, the storyline of the game is vastly different from a typical Lead offering, as the game takes on the lives of teenagers who are suffering from numerous forms of depressions. For a start, the main protagonist is a smoking high-school student, and happens to meet a gil named Touko Kurihara (name in Western order), a shy-looking girl who have basically lose aim in life. Fate has it that they will meet and know each other, and decided to 'do it' (sex, and it's unavoidable), later branching out to numerous storylines involving the other girls.

One thing about the game is, sex plays a very central element of the game (different girls have different reasons for it). In fact, as I mentioned above, the first sex scene is unavoidable, since it plays a central part in the storyline, especially how it will branch out into the others.

Alright, some of those people from V-N.net might have seen this, now to my own opinion about the game.

Seeing the H-scenes from the start might be a little shocking (at least for me), but some of us who might have played it knew that it is part of the story element. Starts out pretty linear, except for the lead knowing Touko in one of the most unconventional (and improper ways) >.< . The visuals of the game is great, as expected from a Leaf offering (despite this being my first Leaf game). BGMs? Definitely on the sombre side (to fit the tone of the game), although it is a nice change from the sometimes cheery tones I've heard in some of the other games. And some of the more annoying charactes (like Maho and Emiri 'the annoying imouto') seems to grow into as being passable later on, as soon as you know more about them.

Of course, still trying to get out of the Touko route, I badly need my fix of Shin-chan D: .

I need to find time to continue playing this (after finishing this semester's assignments + exams + Gunpla work (3 to build, 2 for detail work))

That does not mean I will stop though, will try to see how ef will interest me in any way.

I highly recommend Yukio's route. Her scenario is really well written (Emiri also plays a part). The climax scene is one of the strongest impressions I got out of the game~ (^ω^)

I finished Luminous Arc a few weeks ago, the later chapters were especially good. And Lucia... yeah.

Brooms o/



As for my game exploits, I've been put off from finishing Alicematic and Colorful Aquarium by the fact that my computer sounds like it's going to explode every time I start a game up. ._.;;

My Gospel has forsaken me... ;0;

So I finally had a serious go at To Heart 2 instead, which I've had since the release date but hadn't really played until a few days ago.


Commence the beating... I deserve it.


Doing Tama-nee's path first, and I have to say that she's scary. x_x;;

Still love her, though. :>

Hmm? Wasn't that the same date as the JAP release for the XBOX 360?
I can still remember the comparison of the camp-out lines in Akihabara...

Tama-nee's pretty protective of her childhood friends. That's Takaaki, Konomi and her otouto. Though, for Takaaki's case, it sorta leveled-up in a sense.

Oh, and her Kousaka-ryuu Iron Palm-to-Face Grip is to be feared.

*raises fist to Aquaplus for not updating the ToHeart 2 ~Another Days~ website*

[kct]

Just don't raise the fist in front of me, who knows you might be looking at the front of the barrel of the High Mega Launcher -_-;;; .

EDIT: Or Unlimited GM Works >.< .

EDIT 1: Scrath that, the Titans Test Team will hunt you down >.> .

EDIT 2:

Spoiler:

Shinobu-chan, don't kill me...

my best scene of 天いな

[luckyovermind]

Looks like another delay of narcissu 2nd. Its play time is estimated to be 2 hours.

It'll probably last a bit longer than that, since the scenario text file size is about 1.5 times than that of the first game. Plus, with voice, the reading speed generally drops.

And it's really not a delay, since the voice recording schedule was never really clearly set in the first place. In any case, it's looking like a mid April completion, but I wouldn't expect it to be out until May if I were you.

Preordering of Little Buster! began a few days ago, it easily topped the software sales ranking at Amazon.
(lol at the product summary)

[-Nyu-]

Lol for running on Vista (it should do it without a certificate, stupid Microsoft!)
Anyways, have preordered it @ Himeya together with a game character telephone card, a gadget you get for extra 5$ if you preorder until the 20th of July.
Btw, which description? O_o

[Sushi-Y]

lol at Type-Moon's home page:
http://www.typemoon.com/

as usual, they're really putting an effort into this april thing.
I laughed so hard at the story synopsis:
"A terrifying demon has come to the peaceful country of wonderland. Everybody tried to run away in a panick, but since nobody is used to running they all die one after another, while those who survive were all forced into hard labor, but since nobody is used to doing that either they still all end up dying like rabbits anyway"

"What's this? A missile from the North?"
"How rude! We're not that low on budget!"

From the "World" section, "Magic World After":
"If you look carefully, you can see Spawn or Ghostrider or Constantine walking around, it's truly like hell."

And they killed the heroine by blowing up her house.

Overflow is announcing oversea expansion of their games + new product:
http://www.0verflow.com/
Chainsaw's Kotonoha-sama's "Don't you upload this movie without permission! AHAHAHAHAHAHA" in the usage warning video got me good.

New game: Magical Heart Kokoro-chan

MAGICAL BERETTA!


Kotonoha-sama's real job: killing pathetic high school guys, one at a time

Someone can check what the multi language trial versions contain, too big of a file for me.

minori's selling itself:
http://www.minori.ph/index_02.html

Cotton Soft is... I don't know wtf is going on with Cotton Soft:
http://cotton-soft.com/

Even French Bread announced a new game:
http://www13.plala.or.jp/french/uso.htm

Lol at the commands (puny punch, weak punch, normal punch, strong punch, super punch, ultimate punch, sure-kill punch, Takizawa Kokuden punch, turn around)
(get back to work, Narita-san)

Nitroplus is...
http://www.nitroplus.co.jp/pc/lineup/into_13/index.php
....Paula Zahn? That's the first name that popped into my mind.

=O

Got some good laughs from the others but... oh wow. The english isn't bad at all either!

[kct]

/me tries the Summer Days for the lulz.

Of course, downloading will take a good while.

[MakubeX2]

I don't that Kokoro spin off if they decide to inlude lots of Kokoro-rori-rori action now....

But it seems that they put a lot of effort into making a joke out of this, so this might just be the real deal....

[luckyovermind]

I can't get the Summer Days trial to work

It gives me some weirdly encoded error, followed by a Microsoft Runtime error.

Wow that Title BGM is really good. Is that one of the Yasunori Mitusada ones?

I'm still looking for somebody to actually make a game like the one on F&C's website. Even if its a doujin game or something.

LOL for system requirements! Windows Vista SP2 + DirectX 10.1!

That, taking aside the cost of 10,290,000円 ^^

And you were wondering why it's the buggy game of the year.
