when you get to hayato's pov and it becomes mediocre again once you enter heroine routes

>>50642771
That's why it's a betrayal - they already had plenty of vanilla brands and they've even made brands just to release one game before. Why taint their ntr brand with it?

>>50642764

doukyusei: is the og pc98 version the best one?
>>
>>50643191
depends on your preference of art style. for 2, definitely go for the remake though. don't use easy mode's jumping function though. you lose out on a lot
>>
>>50643210
i'm talking about the script specifically, there's a version for windows of the pc98 with windows graphics so that's not the issue

i read that the remake neutered the mc while he was very based in the og
>>
>>50643218
the remake script is the same as '99 windows remake. however, i just read up on the differences between pc-98 and '99 and i'd personally go for '99. seems like it has the better characterizations.
>>
>>50643238
>seems like it has the better characterizations.
i read that the rewritten characters to suit modern sensibilities (of the time) making the mc a bland self-insert
>>
>>50643268
you'll have to wait for someone who played pc-98 version to weigh in, but a quick google search suggests the opposite, pc-98 ver seems more nanpa and eager to cater to the player. while in the '99, it's really only the heroines who have been revised, and reading the differences, i'd say it's the better script

btw i finished dk3, now doing the victorylap and talk to all the npc after saving the world

if you consider the whole dk trilogy, remakes specifically, i'd say it's a solid 6/10 experience that scratches that dq1/2 itch. i think dk4 might actually push it to 7/10 but i'm not in a hurry to play that one

I don't want to diss on old game, but 90% of the gameplay I do until now is just waking around the town hoping to meet girls, and work part time to purchase hints at that shop. I can't even take girls on date yet. Is it like this for the entirety of the game?
>>
>>50646685
just like real life
>>
>>50646685
yes, 2 has bowling and fishing too. but the issue is the way this game is meant to be played is without a guide, you have to take notes where and when to encounter whom and try to go for many girls at once. doukyuusei is more interesting since it's heavier on plot

Taking a while to find the download link for this short nukige but it's worth it just for the appropriate reaction to mom NTR.

>>50649438
Most locations in VNs are based of real places.
Just type the VN's name and 聖地巡礼 into google and you'll most likely find some guy's blog who has visited.
ef for example https://touyokojunrei.com/archives/75012722.html
>>
>>50649586
>https://touyokojunrei.com/archives/75012722.html
Thanks anon.
The funniest thing is that I had a feeling it was probably a German/Austrian town, but I had just coincidentally visited Heidelberg a few years ago since I was on holidays in Germany at the time.
It's not a very big town so looking at the photos there, I actually recognise them. It's a funny coincidence

There is a reason why in official forms they are requiring you to put furigana to make it clear how to say that name because people can just put some kanji together and call it whatever they want. Sure you can piece things together for the more common kanji but you never know for sure without confirmation. There is a reason why キラキラネーム expression exists.

Oh, we've actually had this discussion before. Yuki actually reminds me of Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen. In that sense you are right, I think both characters (Gojo and Yuki) are meant to be perfect by conventional standards. If the bad girl gimmick was played down I would probably have liked her too.

I dont remember but does she ever do any bad girl stuff besides smoking? From my memory the real Yuki as well as ghost Yuki (that is aware of everything that is happening) didnt even smoke, only the one in the first few chapter smokes as a hint about her and Tomosane

Repetition can be good for emphasis and establishing a rhythm. But overuse and abuse will tire on any reader so it's up to the author to use it in good taste. I remember I once read something where the author wrote "その時" right before anything happened and it was really annoying after noticing that.

What if the used good is not a recently met stranger e.g. an ex girlfriend, a widowed childhood friend, MC's single mother, etc? What if the heroine already dated someone else that she loves but never sleeps with him?
>>
>>50652349
>an ex girlfriend
If the relationship failed once it's typically a sign it will fail again. Ex-gf's shouldnt exist in VNs. keep ugly realism out of fiction.
>widowed childhood friend
I personally find women who hook up with the next man as soon as her original one dies as repulsive.
>MC's single mother
Might be fine
>already dated someone else that she loves but never sleeps with him
Why would you date someone you didn't like Women who make bad deisions like that, not caring to get to know a what kind of man they're getting with are not worth dealing with
>>
>>50652349
all gross
>>
>>50652349
What it really comes down to for me is that a used goods woman has lost all her first times to another man, and first times are highly important because they facilitate forming strong bonds between two people.

You can still love a used goods woman but if you're a virgin it's all one sided. She will inevitably reminisce about her fist boyfriend more than you reguardless of if she liked him or not, they just made too many memories together.

Cross Channel had a school of retards and it depicted a heartfelt and touching picture of those retards. Was Saihate similarly emotionally touching?

Not sure if it's touching but it's about how the more connected humanity becomes the more it hurts itself and how people find respite in smaller tight-knit groups and it follows the story of such a tight-knit friend group.

No, the way I understand its thesis is that humanity began in small groups and then gradually expanded, knitting itself together through various means. The internet is merely the latest of these.

so i was scraping the first 10 years of vinnies from egs and i found out that the most popular devs are alicesoft and elf, which is in line with the vndb data

the interesting part is that the #3 and #4 in terms of popularity are cocktail soft (kyan kyan bunny and cosmic psycho) and fairytale (kurutta kajistu and lipstick.adv), and those are mostly ignored on vndb

do the have any hidden gems worth playing?

holy shit what a day, i find out kanzaki naoya came out of 19 year long maternity leave to do art for the newest tsurumiku game
https://vndb.org/s5707

on that note grok is very smart and knowledgeable about VNs (rather it can search twitter and the web very well) and it surprisingly doesn't even mind going into detail about loli ryona scenes,straight up says elementary schooler too. I've been missing out, wrestling with gemini and getting hallucinations with every title i throw at it, grok seems 100 times more useful. Guess Elon was based after all, sorry i doubted you after you blocked lolicon on twitter day one after you took over
sorry i mean X
>>
>>50657021
Grok is surprisingly really good about that kinda stuff. One time I was searching for resources on new love plus plus 3ds version and I told grok to ignore english resources and only give me Japanese resources and it went in depth found me useful sites.
>>
>>50657040
I found Kimi works better, but I usually ask Grok, Gemini and Kimi at once and copy paste their answers into ChatGPT to ask it to make a consensus.
>>
>>50657044
Basically the less censored it is the better it will search for eroge stuff. Your usual suspects of Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT will censor shit for their woke bullshit. Chink stuff will censor shit like tiananmen square or anything with the CCP but they don't give a shit about eroge. Grok is probably the least censored of them all.
>>
>>50657021
Pretty sure this is more just a limitation of the google search tool access they give Gemini on the web app (its censored), if you give it direct vndb api access or twitter search capabilities or something it will be way better than Grok. The model is objectively better in every way, you just have to access it directly rather than through the censored app.

You're not asking it to write new VN eroscenes for you from scratch are you, you're asking it to get information about VNs using tools so the relevant leaderboard here is tool usage which Gemini is SOTA at. It's easy to get super uncensored local LLMs but doesn't matter if they're super dumb.

i'm just reporting the consensus, it's objectively the 2-3rd most life changing vinny ever made.
>Will be interesting to see if you dislike it, but your tiny brain obsessed with ratings will force you to like it.
i can dislike it, this is why i don't read vinnies to have fun.

out of the 8 life-changing (eop) kamige it's mathematically impossible liking all 8, you can only 5 so there are 3 life-changing kamige i will shit on fat morgna is one of those, and i hope the other 2 will be utawarerumono instead of mla, and it's a coinflip between wa2 and umineko but we'll see

>>50662913
>i don't understand how it can be life-changing
This is why your rating system is shitty. 90% of people who played WA2 didn't have their lives changed by it. They just enjoyed it all the way through, and once a few months have passed, they forgot about it besides waifufagging. It's a work of fiction Westerners will have more trouble understanding what the author is trying to do.
>>
>>50662935
>90% of people who played WA2 didn't have their lives changed by it
not 90% but 60%, and yeah they had. if you aren't the part of that 60% that doesn't mean it's not life-changing

You haven't played it, but it's not "lifechanging" in the same way Subahibi is. 90% is a good estimate
