Of these three games my fav. was Little Busters! God, just loved this game! The Refrain Episode made me cry all the way to end even though I already had an idea of what was going to happen. This one goes to my TOP Fav. games! 10/10 for this one!

Peace@Pieces was good. The game failed in character development, they all stayed the same from beginning to end. Once you read your way through the game the first time everything from there on you can just sit and skip everything just stopping to click on the choices to enter another girl's route. 6/10.

Finally Akane-iro Somaru Saka. I enjoyed feng's first game: Aozora No Mieru Oka. That and the possibility to can hook up with Mikoto in this game was my incentive to play. All the stories are about getting over the obstacles that prevent you from being with the girl you love. Overall, the game is pretty good, there's plenty of development for every character and the story is ok. 7/10.

Now it's time to play Fortune Arterial, Time Leap and Seiken No Inganock!

Reading that about Peace@Pieces is somewhat disappointing. I'm still planning on continuing with the game, along with the fandisc, but I don't know if it's worth it, since I have a huge list of titles to go through.

As for Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka, it's a pretty enjoyable title that's worth checking out for people who haven't done so. A lot of scenes in that game cracked me up, particularly Mihato's initial reaction after finding out that Junichi has a wife-to-be. XD

Why, who's voicing Yuuhi? It's not Kazune?

I'm playing Itsuka, Todoku, Ano Sora ni along with Purely right now. Both are rather pretty good titles, though I've yet to explore individual routes. Just finished ExE with Natsuki's and Mio's routes, and I'm thinking of going through Ninomiya's, but...

...I don't really like Aoyama Yukari. >__<

Alright, since you can't guess it I'll tell you. KUGIMIYA RIE is voicing Yuuhi in the PS2 version.

I read it, but too many abbreviated jargon. For starters what is DC review ? more specificly what does DC stand for?

[HashiriyaR32]

DC = Da Capo.

Nomake Wan was reviewing the PC version of the PS2 port, which is Da Capo Plus Communication.

That's right. Instead of telling Yuji to SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!, she'll be telling Jun'ichi to JUST DIE!

From the things are looking, it doesn't seem that way. It seems that everyone is taking the leak(?) quite nicely. Or it might just be me, and there's something big afoot.

Anyway... is it me or are there more and more willing people to start game translations? At least, in AnimeSuki and among other places in the Internet. Don't get me wrong, this is great... at least more people are interested.

Fate/stay night
Clover heart's

[Illuminati]

Is there a list somewhere about the games who are translated in english? I'd like to try the genre, especially the romance one (maybe hentai too but it's must have a killer plot or something). Thanks

Current list of Completed and English-Translated Visual Novels

Seriously, isn't this sort of information supposed to be postied/stickied/pinned somewhere here?

[Illuminati]

Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I am looking for! BTW Can I make choice in visual novel or I should turn to dating sim if I want that?

Oh and what do you recommend is that list you gave?

Oh and what do you recommend is that list you gave?

In most visual novels you can make decisions (exepet in ones like higurashi and narcissu). In some games like ever 17 you have to make somewhere around 40 decisions for every path. Dating sims in english is pretty rare (my definition of dating sims are games where you have to control stats like intelligence and stuff like that. To those who are thinking of little busters, that dosen't count).

For my recommedation, I think it is good if you start with simple and free games like a dream of summer, collage and narcissu (none of them are commercial games and they go from full picture and voice to extreme minamalist). After that you can move on to planeterian (no choices), utawarerumono (part rpg) and other commercial games. I also recommend anything translated by deja vu.

There are some professionally translated vns, but most of tham are nothing but sex and thus not worth the time. But ever 17 (I think this is 15+) and yume miru kusuri (18+) are really great.

If you really like these things you can start learning japanese or chinese since there really isn't many games in english after all. Also, you can start playing come of the partial translations like fate stay night (best selling vn ever), Clannad (better than fate stay night in some respects) and higurashi (best selling doujin ever).

Now if you say you can read other languages the I can really start going, but you only asked about the list, so I'll shut up now.

So the UBW patch has been finaly released! A shame an earlier version was leaked though..

@Illuminati
Also check this for translation info:

[HashiriyaR32]

I should've been saying this next week, but due to personal reasons, Nomake Wan decided to advance his review of Really? Really! by a week, meaning that he reviewed it this Saturday instead of doing it next week. The audio for the show is going to take time since I'm having someone excise some content from it.

Do you happen to still have the copy? The shuffle one was hilarious so I want to hear this one was well ^^

GREAT! I guess the leek pushed them into finishing the installer ^^

Also the mention about the voices...oh dam O.o

[HashiriyaR32]

Remember everyone, audio for the shows IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. Just send me a PM, and I'll reply with the link.

With that said, let's please not let this thread become a PR thread for that guy's reviews. This thread is called, and is about, everyone's current favourite ero-games. So please, no more posting about that in here.

Gouen no Soleil's demo is up and available for download!
