Because the Chaos;Head discussion was already approaching 10 posts (and they were all basically talking about game endings), I split off that discussion to a new Chaos;Head thread. I would encourage everyone to continue the more detailed discussion of that game over there. Thanks!

There's already a Chaos;Head thread relentlessflame, so you might want to merge those two together.
Anyways, tried out the Natsuzora Kanata trial, and it seemed pretty interesting. Not fond of the whole memory loss thing though (ef a tale of memories comes to mind), but we'll see how it plays out. |

But it seems Chihaya in Natsuzora Kanata is a little different from Chihiro from ef in terms of their memory loss condition. Chihaya able to remember several days of her memories without losing it, then losing them altogether. While Chihiro will be able to remember as long as she keeps on remembering it, then if she skips the schedule she lose all of them. I don't know which one is more miserable than the other, but Chihiro might be worse off.

You're both right about there already being a thread, but that makes the whole thing even more perplexing. If there was already a thread for it, why was everypme discussing the ending routes here? I thought "surely, they must be doing this because they don't know whether it warrants a topic of its own", but apparently I was wrong...
In general, I've found that this thread sometimes feels like it's becoming almost a chatroom/twitter collection for anything ero-game related, and that really isn't the point of this thread...

Well, in the spirit of the thread, the latest game that has my attention is Fizz's Asanagi no Aquanauts. Only played through one route so far (that of the titular heroine, Mio), but I've been quite pleased with it on the whole.
Useless without pics, so... Spoiler for Box Cover Art (Slightly NSFW):
Spoiler for LE/Pre-Order Goodies (Illustration Book, Bonus Disc Cover, and Telecard) (More NSFW than above):
Shinova already posted a summary of the trial version, which is basically the first hour or so of the game, so I guess there's no need to repeat the basic premise. So I'll jump straight to impressions (I'll use two levels of spoiler tags -- one for mild spoilers/the first few hours-ish, and the another for comments about the end-game scenario/overall). Spoiler for General Impressions of Premise and Characters (Light Spoilers only):

I just started this game: Chrono Belt.
It's a crossover between Ayakashibito and Bullet Butlers (Propeller's best games), and I must say, it's pretty cool. OST is awesome and the art is beautiful (Chuuouhigashiguchi is the designer, hell yeah). Gameplay is simple, end the two paths you can select, and then you unlock the main and third route. The voice acting is superb. Too bad I still don't know how to save the game (Probably because I need to install it and I'm just playing directly from the DVD); anyway, I recommend this novel, it has comedy (Really funny), mistery, action, etc. |

Just finished Propeller's Chrono Belt (the crossover sequel to Ayakashibito and Bullet Butlers). It was really damn good, not to mention full of surprises. I cried a lot. However, I definitely wouldn't recommend playing it without knowledge of both the previous games.
EDIT: Dammit!! Beaten by a few seconds. XD |

How should I put this... wasn't Marmalade supposed to release a fandisc of sorts for their recent games like Lyrical Lyric?
Just posting a blogpost link about said game. Good thing it's just an advertisement for the real game, since I don't think they'd allow ero content on consoles and all. Erhjegel would also be hot on the trail of this game, I suppose. |

Just got my copy of ef - the latter tale.
Will be interesting to see how much Chihiro's story follows the anime. I just started, but I already get the sense that the ratio of regular standing drawings is higher here than in the first tale... could be just me, though; it's been a while. |

Today, I finished Yuzu Soft's latest game: Natsuzora Kanata!
There are no words that can express how much I loved this game! The story, the visuals, the music, the characters! It was worth waiting all this time for this game! Yuzu Soft didn't let me down this time either! In fact, it was better than I had expected! My only dissatisfaction is would be: Spoiler for Chihaya's Route Spoiler:

Got delayed a bit, but finally finished ef - the latter tale. It was beautiful, of course. Mizuki's story was by far my favorite in either game (unsurprising, since she's my favorite of the female characters, and Kuze ended up being my favorite of the guys).
TBH, the only thing keeping ef from being way high up in my top ten is the fact that I actually didn't like Yuuko's chapter very much. As a story and as the framework for the rest of the game, it was fantastic... this is especially apparent in the present-day epilogue. Some aspects of her character just didn't hang together very well for me, though. Also, it's kind of obnoxious that--as was the case with the first tale--such a cinematic game doesn't have a proper scene replay list, but that's purely a gripe with the system. Still, Mizuki makes everything better. Not to mention the powerful direction and great music and so forth. I was delighted that Shaft did a bit of animation at the end there. |
