General Eroge Impressions & Discussion

[zgmf-x19a]

Crescendo was quite nice ( story wise )

[ForkandSpoon]

I actually found a nice proggie that searches online for any kanji you find in a game http://www.animeye.it/henteye/Giochi/jap2eng/othE.shtml
It saved me. :P

For those that are wondering. She said that moss grows to the south on tree's. So following the directions of the tree's I finally managed to get out of that stinking maze.

[ayyo]

Current favorite at the moment:


Kinda wished it was atleast 800x600 like... everything else thats coming on the market, and that there is no more computer window interface for like config and right click menu, etc. But that's pretty much the end of my criticism

[roan]

finished muvluv alternative.



....is this supposed to be a good ending?

[h3lladvocate]

Man, how do you people find all these games. I've been looking for the Shuffle! game and the Canvas game for like ever and can't find it. Where can i find games like these? Anyway, besides that, id have to say my favorite is star platnium. Fairly good story line and a awsome card game.

I say it's the best ending that can be made. Unless should Takeru be not tied as the inga-doutai (I have no idea how to call this in English) at the end, he could try to better things that befell the fate of everyone that he lost in the alternate world as well.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the story.

People buy them. Yes it's true! People can actually buy stuff they like!!

Conductor of Fate

My dissapointment is he went through a lot only to forget everything again. I don't like reset endings that much. Especially full reset endings.
However, I smell a few fan discs in the making.

Say, I have a few question

what happened to all the other lives that he lived through? Did that timeline still go on after he died? Is there a daugher of him and (insert 207th squad member name) still fighting a decisive battle against BETA at the moment? I'm not sure about that part.

Also, where is Gouda Johji when you need him? Too Super Robot for this genre?
And Ayu, how could Meiya's counterpart not make an appearance?

i agree with that, but it left me feeling irritated that there was no other choice but to resort to a yume-ochi ending since what made him the inga doutai was dead. nothing gained, nothing lost for takeru.
even worse, the alternative world was still doomed in the end. if it were possible, i wish there were some way that takeru could still stay in the alternative world.

[Takemi_Ikazuchi]

He wanted to at first. As he said, he's already a denizen of "that" world.

Too bad quantum physics wouldn't have any of that.

I'd like to think that Second Lieutenant Shirogane Takeru died along with the rest of the Valkyries, and remember him as that.

[kj1980]

Just like Oogami Ichirou in "Sakura Taisen," am I the only one who thinks Takeru should be promoted to at least 大尉 for the achievements that he has done? www

[Takemi_Ikazuchi]

They all deserved a promotion as far as I'm concerned.

[roan]

so basically in two months he would go from 訓練兵 to 大尉 with only 4 real battles?
he does deserve a promotion, but something feels a little weird....

[Takemi_Ikazuchi]

Now, that I think of it, the timeline is really rushed is it?

From Shirogane's POV he had a 2 year+ experience from his previous memory, but all the other girls are literally just a months out of cadet school.

He did graduate as a 2nd Lieutenant (少尉), the rank difference is only two pay grades. More often then not field promotions comes quick when you're in an all-out war (next highest rank takes the place of whoever dies).

*大尉 = Captain

Ever tried online shops like Himeya?
And there's also a list of site on that sticky.

kj1980, did you post your favorites from 2005, like you did for 2004?

What, other than Hollow Ataraxia and Higurashi, did you like last year?

Before I go on, "Higurashi no Naku Koroni" isn't an ero-game, nor an ero-doujin game (meaning there are no sex scenes). It's a normal doujin-game.



Let me recall what was sold last year....

School Days - very interesting, but very buggy

Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Irona - Nabacchi! Shizuka-Gozen!! (if you don't know what I mean, you don't know seiyuus who uses pseudonyms)

Fate hollow ataraxia - what can I say? It's TYPE-MOON

ToHeart2 XRATED - there is nothing more that makes me go (*´Д｀)ﾊｧﾊｧ than hearing Manaka's voice during ero-scenes. moe~.

Otome wa Boku ni Koi o Shiteru - when a guy can be the moe-est than the other girls

Tsuyokiss - tsundere!! tsundere!! moe~!!!!

Tick! Tack! - It was cheap so that's why I bought it. Typical Navel story. Short and boring, but extremely moe~ art.

At least these are the ones that I recall playing. The others are just stacked up onto my tsumige- ("waiting to be played, but probably won't in the near foreseeable future") pile. The pile alone consists of over fifty games right now...orz

Oops, forgot the thread name when I included that. I just remember you praising it's kawaii-/moe?-ness.

...which sounds a lot like the earlier Miss Each Other, which was technically interesting but mediocre otherwise. Call me a Nishida fan.

They finally released an artbook for 2000's Tsukihime... Who says otaku have a short attention span?

I guess that's the stack with Princess Witches, Parfait-Chocola 2nd, Sharinnokuni Himawari no Shoujo, Green Green 3, Majokko 2, Tears to Tiara, Romanesque, Happiness!, etc.? ^_^

Thanks for the info!

[Cloudnine]

Current faves for 2006 (yea.. I know it's a bit early to call for faves)

Muv-Luv Alternative - Great game despite being so linear. Some of the scenes in game will scar Muv-luv fans for life >.< Definitely not for the fainthearted...

Pia Carrot e Youkoso!! G.O. - I believe this is the best installment so far. More characters, well developed stories, and really memorable endings. Mizaki <3

Boy Meets Girl (ボーイミーツガール) - Not to be confused with the anime. Really beautiful CGs (as expected from Frontwing)

There's a few more, but I haven't had the time to play some of them lately... term papers... *kusu*

[Sushi-Y]

It's one of those games that you're simply "required" to play if you knew anything about it. But yeah, it's a great one.

When I played the trial version from Dengeki Hime's demo disk, I liked it (the art and music). But once I saw Nanami's interview, I was forced to rush to the nearest online store and preorder the game. Mao-shama~ killed me.
