Well, actually, I'm reading a let's play.. I don't even own a PSP.......

To be perfectly honest, I'm not that sad about it. The gameplay parts look like something I wouldn't enjoy and as the LP is fantastically well written, I don't miss out on any bg music, references and so on. And everything that's not just talking is also in video form.

The same guy's also lp'ing the sequel right now, so I can jump right into that after DR1

Actually , there are plenty of ways to enjoy this title.
they actually included a teleport option so you don't have to wak all the time in the school, the music is fantastic ..and the battle and debate are well done, especially the devious hability to pick an argument in a sentence to use it just after to counter another.

The game works quite well on the psp emulator too.

Well, everyone thought VLR possibly couldn't be more batshit insane than 999.. And then VLR happened

Not really ..VLR met exactly my expectations ..after remember 11 , ever 17 and 9,9,9 this writter give me exactly what i'm looking for.

Jesus sorry, I guess I should have said "most people", sigh. As I said, most people have no idea who Uchikoshi is, and even if they did, I haven't seen his name mentioned anywhere 999 or VLR related. You're clearly minority.

That said, I just now remembered I have to check Remember11 out too. Was it the on that had a somewhat lackluster ending or something? I remember one or two of the infinity series' VNs having bad endings or something.

Danganronpa is amazing, Chapter 6 blew my mind. It's one of the best VN reads I've had lately. Also, PZ's translation is very close to perfection. After seeing how NISA is translating the students' titles, I'm not sure they're giving the localization as much thought as PZ has. How come they gave Yamada the title Fatty?

Was it the on that had a somewhat lackluster ending or something?

It's not that it has a lackluster ending, it just doesn't have one. You have to piece together the story by playing both routes and seeing all the bad endings.

Such a satisfying VN to read. I also liked the different gameplay mechanics, especially the rhythm game despite how random its inclusion felt.

 

[aravuus]

Any of you who have already finished with Dangan Ronpa started with the sequel? Just wondering if it really is that much better than the first game. I mean this has been just fucking awesome.

 

[InsaneZero]

That's a bold statement , i honnestly don't know how that is possible but if it's true i'm hyped like no tomorrow.

The consensus that I'm hearing is that SDR2 is a more fully featured game, has a better cast of characters, and a better written scenario all around. It takes the main issues that people may have had with the original (for instance, accessing free time) and makes them much more convenient. I didn't hear much about the music though.

Overall, general opinion overwhelmingly favors the sequel over the original.

You should read Steins;Gate first unless you want to wait for the official release (which is a year or two away, knowing JAST). Satisfaction is really a thing that's completely absent in Remember11 even if the revelations during it were some of the best in the series (and encompasses in part the previous games).

Finding out the state of the world and the Humanity Despair Project gave the game and the potential sequels a pretty big sense of scale. That and the mastermind was pretty fucking endearing.

I found the gameplay fun, the courtroom felt like playing Phoenix Wright and I liked exploring the academy, especially during the investigations.

There are 3 difficulty levels if you feel that the courtroom sequences ( all of them ) are a chore .., it's very easy to complete them

That said , picking a contradiction is the basis of such setting , especially if we're solving murders. It's not harder or less engaging than in the phoenix wright series.

You seem to have a better view than the people playing the games themselves or maybe we weren't in the same places when those games were released.

It's painfully obvious that someone having played 9,9,9 expected a similar level of mindfuck in the twists in the second game. At lesat that's how it felt when i was discussing the game at the time or even when on neogaf , people were analysing the VLR trailers in order to get additionnal clues.

I don't want to be rude but i dunno when you can say what people were expecting or not As if it's obvious and true and react that way when i explained what was my thoughts at the time.

Let's just assume that you weren't there, some of them were humorous, and also understand the fact that I was slightly humorous because one, only an idiot thinks "everyone" actually means every single person in this context and two, nobody uses , or XD when writing a serious forum comment.

I don't want to be rude, but I don't want to waste my time on meaningless bullshit like this.

Now, Dangan Ronpa chapter 3 has been concluded.

I absolutely love the anime, it's one of the best I've ever seen and just so very good. I'm not a very massive purist when it comes to these things, unless an anime adaptation is utter shit I usually tend to rather watch it than read the vn/manga it's based on.

But yeah, everyone keeps saying I really should read it so I will, some day :lol

I also thought the trial would continue and initially thought I I had actually hit the bad end by not calling out Kirigiri when the execution started playing.

I liked the climax logics , and the non stop debates .. trully original while being simple to the player.

Sakura was the best character.

Kirigiri is boring.

I found the writing in Higurashi to be worse than Umineko's regarding it's final two solution arcs and the development of its cast.

I wouldn't say that, Umineko + Higurashi spoilers:

Spoiler

Yasu was just the solution to Beatrice's games, which made Umineko turn out to be a twisted romance drama. How the Prime mystery went down was pretty much a little variation of the Ep. 7 tea party with the perp's being Battler
s parents. Higurashi's ending was pretty bad, with all the conspiracy and parasite/homesickness making people go crazy bs (Though I still really liked Higurashi)

.

Wut? How the hell is the development of Higurashi cast worse than Umineko? If anything it's one of its stronger points, especially how everyone comes together in the end, even the minor characters.

i agree , in the later parts of higurashi , the "let's fight fate together" hold a much stronger meaning thanks to the cast and how it behaved .

Finally finished Kotori's route in IMHHW.
Quite a nice story overall.
The ending dragged on a little bit, it went for like another hour after credits movie. I also don't think the whole

Spoiler

"oh, and by the way, they found a doctor to perform that difficult surgery, and after several months she can walk by her own again"

thing was really necessary. Story closure would have been fine (and more realistic) without it.

Going to check Ageha's arc now.

 

[aravuus]

Alright! Finally finished with Dangan Ronpa and what a crazy ride that was, goddamn.

The last chapter was just a huge, brutal wham episode and I really liked most of the twists. Though I have to admit,

Spoiler

the mastermind's motive and the world's condition

weren't as big reveals I had hoped they'd be. Both were something I had thought of as soon as the possibility had arisen,

Spoiler

motive when the tv thing came up and world's condition as soon as we noticed they can't even see outside. So, next to the many crazy twists, they really didn't feel that crazy. Not bad, just not as surprising as I had hoped.

Loved the characters. The writer was the only one I didn't quite like but everyone else ranged from good to absolutely awesome, Kirigiri being on the top.

Although it gets very close, it still doesn't beat the Zero Escape games. Still, pretty much a 10/10 from me and one of the best VNs I've read - which really doesn't say anything cause I don't read many.

e: checking out the characters of the sequel and I really don't know if I can hold on and wait for the translation. I'll probably start reading the let's play soon

 

[Red_taiyaki]

Just finished Shizuru's route in Rewrite, so now I can finally move onto the real meat of the story. The moon/terra arcs!

Spoiler

I see why everyone says that Shizuru's was easily the worst of the main five heroines. It's short and a bit anti-climatic especially when compared to Lucia's and Akane's. However, since I did her's before I moved onto Moon I definitely picked up on some small nuances that I wouldn't have noticed had I did her's early on just like Kotorou becoming a tree like Sakuya in addition to Gaia's chant from Akane's arc.

Although I would still consider it the worst of the five main heronies, I thought that it's a very nice lead-in to Moon and setting up the events therein. Lucia's arc is still definitely the best of the bunch though so far. Can't wait to see what happens in the next two major arcs!

[Chrysalis]

Can I plug something here that isn't actually Japanese but rather French and isn't a visual novel but rather a boardgame-thing?

I bring it here because, oddly enough, this is the community that would enjoy it. The same kind of reading-as-puzzle that you encounter in many VN's is present here.

The game is called Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective. You play Sherlock Holmes' protege trying to take on cases of your own and following pre-written clues. You can play it 10 times only because there are 10 written cases with actual "right" answers. Each game/case can be played with anywhere from 1-10ish people (4-7 is the sweet spot), and our games have always evolved into brooding attempts to piece the case together and decide which suspect/witness/intel source to go talk to next. You will feel like Sherlock Holmes...err, Phoenix Wright.

And I'm evangelizing the game for one more reason: they'll localize the expansions (more cases) only if the game sells well here. Apparently it has not yet done so, and I'd rather not have to learn French on top of Japanese.

Game can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/2914849893/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It can also be had for cheaper other places. Hope somebody here enjoys this as immensely as I and my friends have.

Anyone know anything about a VN named Koenchu! Voice Actress Tale? From what I understand it was released in Japan with full english translation, and I'm kinda curious if it was any good or not. I have also gotten some conflicting information on whether or not it's an adult game, most dbs show it as 13+ or 15+, but the game box I saw online had a Cero Z

and usually for VNs that means at least a bit of sexy time, and the cover doesn't seem to go against it.

Also, about to give Ever 17 another shot, just wondering if I should play Never 7 and Remember 11 first seeing as they are the prequels right?

You should be fine playing Ever 17 before both. I finished Ever 17 first, and now have nearly finished Never 7. I can't speak much for Remember 11, however it's best to be played after Ever 17 from what I hear.

Never 7 and Ever 17 in my opinion can be read independently of each other. So really just pick either to go with first.

You/Bad and You/Good

and I guess it's nice to know that Uchikoshi still can make early route endings that leave me completely unsatisfied. Also annoyed at just how long it takes to skip to choices, considering the bad ending I got was due to ONE fuck up

Spoiler

in the security office

that changed the story not at all in the grand scheme of things, but still got me on that bad route. Hope the other routes aren't as picky. Also, do some of the revelations in earlier endings get explained in others ala VLR?

According to this page, it's 15+. No sexy time.
From what I can tell, the game is in English/Japanese, there's just the one version.

Yeah saw that, just odd that the game would be CERO Z w/o any apparent sex or violence.

Well , no.

All the explanations will come in the glorious true end route that explain all

Also this is the worst route to start of with ever17 but that's alright i guess , the others are better
