Do you know of any other VN like this(I mean with a good story and fleshed out characters, doesn't have to be a zombe game)? One with sex scenes too though. Even though I skipped the sex scenes to get to the story, I like to know that sex scene are there, bothers if there aren't any. The endings were mediocre, left me bitter. If the game complete I'd rather it have a proper ending that won't depress me.I have to say i moved on form this game for what feels like ages ago. But thanks for the late reply regardless.
This is fair. Sorry for making this mistake. I just had this happen here before many times at this point and now it is always in the back of my mind that the folks here in the forum are not into vns, but just porn. So i think that one is entirely on me.
I still would say it is valid to suggest reading more vns to get a better grasp on what is out there.
I honestly could not disagree more with this and i think we will not see eye to eye on this one.
I think something that does stand out will pull through regardless of how you subjectively think about it, there is a reason we have stories that are timeless after all.
But that was not even my point with this game, the fact that it sets up side characters, the flashback with yuskeand nothing at all gets resolved or nobody even gets a satisfying ending, besides mitsuki. Because it got never completed, was my main issue and point with this series.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I can not speak for crescendo, cause i never played that. I did findYou must be registered to see the linkspretty damn average, though. The problem with that one was it found it a great idea to twist shit for the sake of a twist, not because it made sense anymore in the last third that was completely unnecessary and felt tagged on as a result, gave that a 6.5 if i remember correctly.
Back to the topic. Of course, it's always how it's done that should be the important factor, not that you have let's say a tsun- or yandere character or what ever flavor of the month you can think about. Still vns, even stories in as a whole should not just build upon those archetypes and if they do they should always have something to stand out form the see of other stuff that does it.
A western made vn i read last year which fell into this trap was:You must be registered to see the links. A vn that wants so badly to be your average ecchi mecha anime - even though it's western made, it has no standout qualities as it's own, besides the english voiceacting, really. Plus it seemed have to been a kickstarter project and likely lacked funding towards the end, it feels rushed as a result.
I read something last year that gave me the same feeling i's called:You must be registered to see the links
Was written by the same studio that does theYou must be registered to see the linksgames, btw.
I agree with this, but that is also why i do not commit to long games on a whim, just after informing myself. Thus i missed out onYou must be registered to see the links,You must be registered to see the linksand many other vns listed as long (over 50 hours) for example as of now. And only in the last months finally playedYou must be registered to see the links, which was very cool, imo.
This honestly sounds like majikoi and Tsujidou ai road should be right up your alley, then.
I agree, in theory, as i said above. The execution after the first game was my problem. The idea of a protag not being a goody two shoes for example was what originally drew me into vol. 1 of this series. Now on the other hand i feel very conflicted in even recommending this to others, considering how it ends.
See above. You have to filter through a see of crap, yup. But anime and manga are no different in this regard, hell every type of media is, really. My resolution to those problems are user scores like vndb, mal and other sites of this sort have and of course talking about stuff with friends sometimes even discussing what we thought about a certain game.
I know that is a classic at this point, but why not bring it up again, here cause i recently finished the Elite Version (being more or less the anime artstyle with extra content and endings of the vn added) of it.
You must be registered to see the linksis my go to example for a game that does both the setting / plot and the character writing to a masterful degree. Aside formYou must be registered to see the linksthe only vn i have near a 10, as in a 9,5 listed in my vndb profile. Btw those vndb profiles and even their new review system could be a good source of information regarding vns for you. ;-)
Naturally, it all depends how it's executed in the end there are vns that can pull through like afore mentioned ones and ones that do not. A game i played which did stick everything but the last twist wasYou must be registered to see the links.
My go to example for something that fails in every regard and which made me very unpopular for voicing that a few months ago would be.You must be registered to see the links. I tried liking that thing, played it for over a hundred hours, but gave up at a bit over the halfway point. I just can not stomach shit like this, actively working to make you hate or even infuriate you with every single character you come across and play as. Holy fuck just thinking about this again makes me agry..
Which is funny, because those two are on the surface and regarding their tags very similar vns, but Cartagra is executed well to good (7,5) and Higurashi is a pile of horseshit, that doesn't do anything well. Gave the Higurashi Ni chapters a 4,5 for "effort".
I rarley play all ages vns, so i can not speak about that at all. It looks interesting form just the screenshots and tags, but that is all i can say about it, sorry. Maybe i should give that a go in the future and see for myself
Didn't we all after years of this?
Well, thanks! Have a Goodnight/Day!
