Unity - Completed - Vtuber Hack [2024-03-15 + DLCs] [Beel ze bub]

I like this game's concept, but it has very bad execution.

-The VTuber segment feels completely soulless and is locked to a 2 minute timer every time you engage in it; obvious padding.
-The stock market is a neat gimmick that quickly devolves into a mandatory, tedious, save scummy necessity. To add to the game's padding, they made sure that money also doesn't carry over between runs...
-The hacking segment is... actually pretty cool. At first. The problem in this case is how much you have to repeat the same levels over and over again. Would be a fun minigame if you weren't forced to do it so frequently.

The writing is good, as is usually the case with Beel ze bub's games. The artwork is good, too, as well as the voice acting. UNFORTUNATELY, nothing seems to be compressed at all. The game is 30 GB after you patch in Appends 1 and 2. Absurd, considering all the scenes are just still images, and there aren't really that many scenes to warrant a file size that massive.

I bet you most of that file size comes from poor optimization related to the VTuber stream segments (They showcase gameplay footage from other Beel ze bub games to simulate the VTubers streaming a videogame). Ironic that the worst part of the game is probably what causes the most bloat.

Coming from Train Capacity 300% (which, keep in mind, was also grindy), this was a huge disappointment. Too much padding, not enough content.

The game straight up doesnt work. You cannot donate more than 999 for some reason, so I cannot reccomend this game. "Oh but you can use cheat engine to go over the bug" isnt an excuse. The translation is terrible as well considering this is a game about chats and streaming. I might come back to this if they actually fix it

Heavy, complicated and with crap scenes. Not worth a play through.
It was really a waste of time and I do not reccomend anyone wasting hours upon hours on this game. Additionallly, the endings are kind of disappointing.

Could have been so much more, but it's still quite good with a lot of production value.

Does it live up to the Train Capacity games? No, but it does a lot of different stuff you just don't see often, and it's not just some RPGM type of slog you see so often.

bad gameplay even worse translation. the gameplay is boring , confusing and just not that interesting. and the translation is so awful you can't really tell what is going on. i couldn't tell who was the subject of almost half of the sentences

Simple game, boring sections as hacking or the invest area, but it is compensated by the characters and the voice acting, I think it could get a little more dynamic with the “prank” option, maybe not all the people will like it but its worth to try it, I think I spent 3 days leaving it open on the invest section to make saves and target all the girls to finish it.

This is kind of game not for everyone. There are people who votes 1 star and people who vote 5. And I will drop to 4, Why?
Pros: Interesting plot, Beelzebub always has new idea and I love it. Art style is decent, drop a bit from previous game. The gallery still has 3 phases each character, following the corruption state when you "hack" their information. You can "chikan" in real time with vtuber, but look like they are out of time, so it doesn't get anywhere.
Cons: Text box need to be transparent, they did that in mansha 300%, 1/3 the cg being blocked, and it's bad for hentai games in general. Gameplay is not that good, grindy. Can you image a hacker need to "buy low, sell high"? If you wanna immerse, then you cheat engine, save your time and... you are hacker anyway, why following the rule. And 22gb after the DLC, Goddd...

In conclusion, new idea, but not execute so well. Because I am target audience, it's 4 from me.

I played this before the shitty translation, so here's what I can say about the game according to my memory.

Minigame, there's two type of mini game, the first one is how you earn money the other is to unlock blackmail.
1.) Stocks, buy low and sell high, it's the primary way to earn money. The game itself is very boring and just require you to stare at the stock market for 1-2 hour real life time and buy low sell high. I kid you not 80% of the time I spend on this game is staring at stock exchange. 1/5
2.) Hacking, the mini game is quite simple, you first have to buy all type of hacking program, the main one being the Malware which you use to infect the girl pc. There's also other program which are catagorized to GO UP, GO DOWN, GO LEFT, GO RIGHT and Special. Each of them have up to 5 or 6 different pattern and you use them to control the virus and avoid fire wall and stuff to reach the blackmail file. It's quite simple and most of the time you can just blast tru the firewall or just use special to clear wall. 4/5

Vtuber stream:
1.) You mainly just watch the vtuber play the other beelzebub game and chat with her. (If you are wondering why the game is so big, it's because of this, there's 3 very huge video file that is used for the "Play game" asset. 3/5
2.) Chat feature, basically you can obtain detail and information about the streamer by chatting and donating them, you can also piss them off by using bad comment and vulgar stuff, just don't go overboard or you will be banned and lock out of the girl permanently. (Remember to save often) 2/5

Sex:
1.) You get to start having sexual act with the girl after collecting all the information about the girl and in the end you will get their address, which then you can confront them about it and blackmail them. 3/5
2.) The sex scene is very meh tbh, I don't really enjoy much of it and honestly not too many variety at all. 1/5
3.)There is also a molest scene, where the girl go on stream and you touch them behind the scene, I quite enjoy this feature. 5/5

-bad baaaad baaaaaaad translation
- hacking minigames are tedious and serve no purpose beyond extending playtime
-chatting system is mediocre
-girls are mediocre
-corruption is basically fuck girl until she falls in love with you
-boring
Edit: also this game is fucking massive and theres nowhere near 13.2gb worth of content in this game
