>>4507307https://rentry.org/c5sd4d7nRepurposed the summer sale paste for the winter sale. Changed the discounts accordingly, got rid of the games without current discounts and added new ones.No GOG or itch sales. That would be too much work.
If this really is the last thread of the year I might as well post my yuri collection for this year. It grew quite a bit. Almost a 100 games since last december! These are just the ones I own in store libraries, but I also still got a lot of solo games off other sites and a bunch of emulated stuff flying around on my SDD. One day my yuri collection might get too big for images on 4chan haha
>>4507327What is the highlight game of the year for you
>>4507307You need to add Silksong to the non-VN mainstream games chart. It was easily the biggest yuri release of 2025.
>>4507355Wait for the thread to get to page 8 or so before posting bait
>>4507355Someone's butthurt.
>>4507358>>4507360I played the game and it's pretty gay.
>>4507358>>4507360Kiss and make up!
>>4507327WowHave you actually played most of these? I downloaded a lot of yuri games like a year and a half ago but I have only properly played like 6
>>4507331Hm, if we are strictly speaking yuri games, then... Actually it's not that easy to choose. Can I mention a couple instead?I really liked Iwakura Aria, probably my favorite yuri VN of the year. The art and atmosphere are incredible. It's what I wish A Tithe in Blood had been like.I really enjoyed the remake of Sword of the Necromancer. I didn't touch the sequel, because of the male protag, but SotN is a classic and the remake plays so much better.The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily left a very strong impression on me. I didn't like some of its choices, but this is a game made by someone with passion, even if slightly unhinged. Probably one of the most polished AA yuri games we got in a while.Stories from Sol: The Gundog really scratched that itch I have for old adventure games. It might have been my favorite if it didnt end on a cliffhanger!Quantum Witch is suuuper underrated! Nobody seems to have realized just how good this is and just how gay it is. The game really revolves around the witch and her wife and a cast of other sapphic characters. The RPG mechanics being entirely based around dialogue and moods was really unique and I hope to see more games like it.For CYOAs, I didn't play very many this year, but I adored Kitsune. It felt just so playful and had just my kind of humor. Of course many scoff at CYOA because you select the sex of all the characters, but to me it felt incredibly natural for all the characters to be women. I think the author wrote it like that for most of them in mind.Gales of Nayeli might be my favorite Fire Emblem pastiche in a long time. Nothing against romhacks of course.>>4507421I have played a decent chunk, though I completed less than that. Of course a lot of these are on my backlog. I just like collecting yuri relevant games, so I pick some up every sale and there are also a lot of free ones in my collection. You should see my wishlist, it's extremely long haha
>>4507312Thanks to this list I found Nocked which I'm really enjoying right now. I always loved the idea of female Robin Hood stories and really love the setting. The art, music and sprites also really add to what would usually be just a standard CYOA. I have a weakness for lutes and old-timey music like this.I really love how it explores all the aspects of the many Robin Hood legends and lets you play your way. Whether you rely on the Locksley nobility side of the tale and use politics to get your way or if you become a proper Outlaw raising an army and going into battles. There is also a strong layer of Fae and mythology influence and you can rely on the mysteries and magic of the forest to help you as well.You can also play Robin as a womanizer or let her stay faithful with her love for one of the love interests (yes there are several beyond Marian!).Obviously I will need to gather allies and Merry Men eventually, but it's really cool how you can choose between factions like Nobility, the Church, Peasants and the Fae.
>>4507327Theres so much stuff here I've never seen before. What's your favorite all time yuri game?
>>4507532Like I implied in my other comment, I'm not good at declaring a single favorite. My tastes are pretty basic I guess. The FLOWERS games are my favorite visual novels at least. Nothing really immersed me more than they could. Baldur's Gate 3 is one of my favorite RPG experiences with good same-sex romance. Volcano Princess kept me the most engaged on repeat playthroughs. I played Persona 3 Portable at a very transformative time in my life, which made it resonate strongly with me. Aigis is precious.Book of Hungry Names is the most well written CYOA I ever played.And it may be simple, but Bad End Theater's ending made me cry, which is rare feat.None of these are surprise secret hidden gem picks, I know. I have a lot of love for lots of other games here, but those I listed personally impacted me the most.
>>4507434>Quantum Witch Completely agree with that, it was my goty together with Lost Records.>Sword of the Necromancer>I didn't touch the sequel, because of the male protagThe sequel was cancelled because the developer went bankrupt, since the publisher bailed on them and the remake sold like shit. (also it never had a "male protagonist", it was going to have 3 playable characters, the lesbian couple from the first and a new guy, the dev said that after a brief part that introduces him you could just ignore him, so I'm pretty bummed out that it was cancelled, we barely have any action game with canon lesbians).
>>4507558I understand that he was just one of three protags, but I just didn't like that aspect at all and from what I remember, it was the publisher who pushed for that inclusion in the first place.>went bankrupt because the publisher bailedI really don't get it, the game was clearly finished and they already had it all ready to ship out. What is wrong with these bastards? At least have the decency to release the game, even if they predict it to sell badly. Then at least some costs could be recouped and the dev might not have had to go under.As for the remake of the first game not selling too well, it's not that surprising. Remakes are risky business for small games, because a niche audience may not care to buy the same game again. Unlike with popular big titles that can just churn out remakes all over the place, because they know they have a core fanbase who will buy the game over and over again.That soured my mood considerably... I really liked the remake a lot. Maybe it would have been best to test the waters first, before investing into a sequel.
>>4507434>Nothing against romhacks Funny because GoN started as a FE romhack too
>>4507434>free games Any recs? Im flat broke and my computer is trash
>>4507560>it was the publisher who pushed for male inclusion in the first placeso the dev had sold his soul for moneynothing of value was lost
>>4507567Oh really? That makes sense.>>4507569Uh, sure. In my experience every game can be free if you want it enough. But if we leave piracy out of the picture you got 3 options.1. Free Steam games2. Get games on itch. A lot of them only ask you to pay if you want.3. Emulate old games and abandonware.If your PC has low specs then you won't need any of those fancy AAA games anyway, so that makes things easier if anything.Then lets see...For option 1:Awaria (Action), First Snow (VN), Couple Maker (Puzzle), Life of a Dispatch English Teacher in Japan (VN), Adult Life Yuri Bundle by Team ANPIM (VN), Memary: Memory of the nameless one (Puzzle/Mystery), The Mask Game (VN), Carpe Noctem (VN), Ghost Moon High Noon (Action/Puzzle), it gets so lonely here (VN), Luxaren Allure (RPGmaker), Life After Magic (VN), Without a Voice (VN), Elder Scrolls Daggerfall (with mods).Not sure if your computer can handle it, but there are also MMOs to choose from: Star Wars The Old Republic, Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls OnlineAs you can see in my library I did play two gacha games too, but I'm not very knowledgable about gacha in general. Might wanna go to the gacha thread for those recommendations.For Option 2: As most itch games can be downloaded for free you can go ham here, but I recommend these:Angelic Acceptor: Alouette! (RPGmaker), a Dragon's reQuest (RPGmaker), Affection-San Shimai to Juusha no Shoujo- (VN), Contract Demon (VN), Lonely Wolf Treat (RGPmaker/VN), Shut-in Vampire (VN), Otohime (VN)Option 3:Honestly, might as well just look at the fan translation section in the OP. Most of those games can only be emulated. There are also links to sites like abandonware and other Freeware games. But for some quick options:PSP emulator games: Fate/Extra, Fate/Extra CCC, Disaster Report 3GBA/DS: Metal Max 2 Reloaded, Fire Emblem romhacks like The Morrow's Golden Country or Dream of FiveSNES: Eternal Filena, Ghouls 'n' Ghosts (with mods)
Why are people so afraid of piracy nowadays?
>>4507612Years of being spoiled by cheap streaming subscriptions/digital games plus fear of having to leave the handful of "safe" sites they regularly use.
>>4507587Wow i figured there would be lots of visual novels but that's a lot. Those mmoos are too much for my rustbucket but thanks. I never tried emulators but game boy games should be fine. Thanks for the effort
>>4507327Decided to compile my own image from my yuri games collection, remembered I'm poor and don't even have a 10th the size, damn.What is on here is entirely my own biased opinions for what constitutes yuri which is why something like Etrian Odyssey (a series where you have to invent the character interactions in your head outside EO5 that does have a yuri pair) is on here but something like Hades 2 is not.
>>4507654I am sorry, but yout standards simply don't make sense. I could at least comprehend that you would count games in which you project or make up a yuri relationship on the cast, even if I highly disagree. But this does not justify excluding games that actually do have yuri romance in them. ....you definitely should be self-aware enough to understand that EO, Pokemon and Silksong don't count though. Those aren't even in subtext territory.
>>4507656>Those aren't even in subtext territory.Silksong is almost explicit tho
>>4507657Are you the anon I just replied to? Or are you the low effort baiter? I need to know before I waste my time replying.
>>4507656You will note that the only two pokemon games included are the ones that are extremely gay in different areas, silksong absolutely counts and I won't argue with anyone who thinks it doesn't and Etrian Odyssey I already explain in the spoiler text, I won't be clarifying anything else because it's entirely vibes based.Hades 2 has lesbian romance options but doesn't feel like yuri and yes that's vibes based and makes no sense but I don't care.
>>4507660>Discarding canon over headcanon shippingThe truest /u/ser
>>4507660Uh no, you did in fact not explain why Etrian Odyssey counts, you just said it does.>vibesAnon, as much as I want to find your autism cute... facts are just facts. Like objectively, one game has same-sex romance between two female characters and thus is yuri and the other does not. You have to actively tell yourself that a game counts or doesn't count with the "vibes" excuse, because your mind is logically away that you are wrong.Even with my absolute most genuine attempt at empathy, I can at most understand that someone may overvalue subtext they perceive and call a non-yuri game a yuri game because their headcanon is that strong. That cannot explain dismissing actual yuri games though.But while we are it...>two Pokemon games that are extremely gayNeither of them is. Like at all. These are very basic friendship/rival dynamics. The "gayest" Pokemon ever got was the original Sun/Moon.
>>4507662>Trying to argue Legends ZA and S/V aren't gayDid you actually take a look at those games at all?Like Gwynn/Canari has Gwynn quite literally openly say she's in love with Canari and Canari say Gwynn is the most important person to her in the dlc, Jacinthe and Lebanne already had the HEAVY implications that Lebanne doesn't actually hate being with Jacinthe in the main game but the DLC just made that overt and literally had her fucking ex run in and try and get her back with Lebanne saying this and said ""partner"" saying she missed her shot.Rika and Geeta in SV's dlc are very clearly dating and Dendra/Miriam have a whole bit with Miriam gushing with Dendra's childhood friend over how cute she is, none of this is even touching on the protag romance adjacent related content in both games.
>>4507661>>4507662This is Pokémon, a franchise where people declare, without any irony, heterosexual pairings as absolute canon, even when it's not even subtext. I participated in the shipping war for over five years; I know what I'm talking about.
>>4507666I can't upload files anymore apparently so that post is missing some context so here's a YT video.https://youtu.be/rm_zMcGv4pU
>>4507666Admittedly I haven't touched the DLCs, so maybe I really missed something insane that would usually break the entire yuri fandom... but somehow I have my doubts.One thing I know for a fact is that protag has literally no romance whatsoever in either of these games. If you have to use the term "romance adjacent" I can instantly tell what level of autism I am dealing with here. It makes your other claims less believable than they already are. Most likely you are overstating some subtext that isn't close to as explicit as you claim. Sigh.>>4507667Shipping wars? But you seem to be aware that Pokemon has nothing even close to solid ships, so who were you defending in those wars?>>4507669.............Cough... could it be that you are legitimately on the spectrum? I don't mean this as an insult anymore, just a serious assessment. Could it be that you do not understand that the word "partner" in this context refers to a partner in Pokemon battles? Duo battles require partners. The game is hammering home how they refuse to switch partners, because they work best together. While I appreciate the projectable relationship dynamic such a thing can create, there is literally nothing romantic about this in the actual game's context. Even jealousy is not exclusive to romantic relationships, of which just to be clear, this game shows absolutely zero.I am so sorry. But if this is the actual extend of what constitutes as yuri to you, then you are gravely insulting Hades 2 just be insinuation it is somehow less yuri relevant than this.Maybe you should keep your "vibes" applied to your clitoris from now on.
>>4507670>Lebanne getting jealous over Griselle and Jacinthe teaming up earlier>Jacinthe pouting over being poor at dancing and Lebanne offering to teach her>Jacinthe and holo Jacinthe openly flirting with Lebanne and saying she's at her strongest when she's by Lebanne's side>Scene in the videoIf you're going to deny all this R1999, Rabi Ribi, and several other games that went uncontested on both yuri lists shouldn't be allowed either because if you intentionally act dense you can pretend they aren't yuri.Nobody is better at denying wlw relationships than /u/ apparently.
>>4507671Anon... poor sweet baby anon... everything you just listed isn't even close to romantic the way it is portrayed in the game. These could be cute couple moments for an ESTABLISHED romantic couple, but they do not serve as evidence for them being one. I genuinely do not understand how you cannot differentiate friendship/rivalry/professional partners from romantic couples. Pokemon is a shounen/kid oriented franchise, which are known to put heavy weight on "bonds" and "camraderie". Unless you genuinely believe Naruto and Sasku wanted to bang each other, you seem to have a very clear bias and projection going on here.>R1999Had an actualy kiss between two female characters based on their romantic feelings for each other. It's admittedly a very bear contender. I would personally put it into the heavy subtext cateogy... but that's far more than any Pokemon game ever went.>Rabi Ribi???? The game literally ends with two confirmed lesbian couples. I... I dont know what your point is. There is literally no way to deny that fact.>pretend they aren't yuri>denying wlw relationshipsReason with me here anon. If someone showed you the exact same interactions for a het ship would you genuinely claim they are a confirmed couple? Or are you just projecting heavily because you WANT this to be a real yuri couple? You need the self-awareness to separate these two. There is nothing wrong with shipping characters. Write you fanfic about Lebanne and Jacinthe. I support you all the way. But understand that nobody is being "dense" because they can tell apart romance from friendship and subtext from the devs' real intention.
>>4507671>Nobody is better at denying wlw relationships than /u/ apparently.Isn't that rich coming from you, who claimed Melinoe's romance with Nemesis or Eris doesn't count as yuri?
>>4507674I never said it wasn't gay, I just personally don't think of it as yuri via vibes, honestly I should have just never mentioned Hades 2 at all because the entire conversation is hyperfocused on that instead of anything else.But I'm also not denying that there's gay content in Hades 2 unlike the other anon who is denying there being gay content in ZA.
>>4507673>Unless you genuinely believe Naruto and Sasku wanted to bang each otherNTA but Naruto showed way more care for Sasuke than he ever showed any woman even during his Sakura simping phase
>>4507675>never said it wasn't gay>don't think of it as yuri via vibesThe problem here is that this sentence makes no sense. You cannot even explain your reasoning. Try a little harder. Maybe you don't consider anything that isn't Japanese/anime style as yuri? No, that can't be, after all your list contains Silksong and Quantum Witch.You really have to explain what this abstract "vibe" actually is, that somehow can turn literal lesbian relationshhips into non-yuri content.>just never mentioned Hades 2 at all because the entire conversation is hyperfocused on thatI disagree. Your claim that all those non-yuri games are yuri games is just as egregious. Just because I understand that you are projecting your headcanon on the games does not mean I accept that logic.>I'm also not denying that there's gay content in Hades 2 Do you understand what the definition of the term "yuri" is?>denying there being gay content in ZAIt's a false equivalence. Pokemon has no explicit yuri romance and even the """subtext""" you brought up doesn't even reach the bottom tier of yuri subtext for most CGDCT anime.
>>4507681Really not the point here anonette... I do not want to start an actual discussion about a het shounen anime.
>>4507683It's pretty simple. He approaches it backwards intentionally or otherwise. In his mind he files these ships as romantic so any semi-intimate interaction is thus romantic too. This then reverses the proof and conclusion. Any intimate or friendly interaction is proof of yuri, because they are a romantic couple. This is deep level shipper logic and is very common among fandoms.
>>4507612I'm not afraid of it but I want it give yuri devs my money. I explicitly want more fictional lesbians. The rest of the industry can rot for all I care
>1000xResistFive hours in and all this game has been is abstract future nonsense and Chinese expat moping.Why the hell did I buy this.
>>4507691For the baihe experience. It's either this or wuxia, so pick your own poison and don't forget to cultivate.
As long as the developers of "Of the Devil" keep marketing it as yuri, I will keep calling it yuri. New episode tomorrow.
The mass effect legendary collection is on sale finally. I'm going to get the jack romance mod and be happy
>>4507720Has if gotten there yet?
>>4507724>finallyThe game is basically on deep sale all year around. Literally every single sale this year the games was at -90% discount. Could have bought it any time.
>>4507654You dont seem to be a shitposter (somehow) so could you please tell me why you think Solksong is genuinely yuri? Which part? Who is in an actual romance on it? Everyone else who claims it is just making a joke or baiting, so i want to know what the real deal thinks.
>>4507766There is no point anon. Their reasoning is already explained by their statement about Etrian Odyssey, a game that has no character interations at all. The only way to see this as a yuri game series would be to project ones fanfiction on the games. This means this anon considers games yuri if they facilitate their imagination. The game does not actually need to contain yuri for them to see it as yuri.That's why Silksong is on the list. Hornet does not show romantic interest in any male character throughout the game an she has some narrative connections to female characters. That's all some people need.
>>4507766Not her but Hornet goes into the abyss to kick grandma's ass and she princess carries Lace back up to the surface and both their weapons are right next to each other on the main menu after this and that's fucking gay.
>>4507793I know the games plot which is why i know it isnt yuri. Your spoilers could be gay if there was any romance but there aint. Hornet and Lace interact like 3 times all game and every interaction is about Lace's mom and complexes. Like sure after the game they will probably hang out. thats cool. But Hornet didnt save her because she was having a gay moment. The only explicitly gay thing in Skong is the Green Prince.
I hate to interrupt the autism parade, but I was wondering if the Akaiito and Aoishiro HD remasters have any platform-specific advantages or disadvantages. Looking at possibly getting them on either Switch or PC, what’s the pros/cons?
>>4507813If you want the PC version to not crash on certain resolutions you need to use a patch we got in the OP. You can't use the fan translation patches on the console version though, so that should categorically rule them out. Get them on Steam or pirate them, but absolutely do not play them with the official TL.
>>4507815>absolutely do not play them with the official TL.That bad?
>>4507816Yeah. But patching the fan TLs over the games is easy on PC.
>>4507673>If someone showed you the exact same interactions for a het ship would you genuinely claim they are a confirmed couple?Yes.
>>4507826Nobody asked you shitposter.
Finished BG3What a journey. Came for the Shadowheart romance but found myself enjoying most of the companions and even some of the villains. It's going to be hard to find a follow up game to play after finishing both Cyberpunk and BG3 this year.
Oh noooo, you can romance a dragoness? This is one of my 7 major weaknesses. Well there goes any other option. There is just something awesome about dragon yuri. Especially when she can shapeshift into human form. She also already laid eggs, meaning they will have kids. Aaaaaah!So from what I looked up there are three /u/ options for Lady Robin. -Lady Marian (the main heroine if you will)-Lady Elspeth (a female Arturian knight of the round table who you literally revive from a cursed state and make immortal)-Amaranth (dragoness of the Deepwood and last of her kind)I love this. This game is really well written and it has all those aspects of ressource management and secret discoveries that I love about oldschool CYOA.
>>4507833>It's going to be hard to find a follow up gameYou can always play it again. But yeah, these certainly are two of the most cinematic and polished AAA experiences of all time, especially for same-sex romance. They will not be easy to top.But that anon above had a good idea. Maybe try playing the Mass Effect trilogy (Legendary edition for the graphical and QoL uplift of course). It's the only other series I can think of that is equally cinematic and deep in its character interactions with mostly fun combat. Just remember that the first game's combat is a bit clunky and outdated.
https://x.com/SunnyLabGames/status/2003166143054487801
>>4507836They have been working on the Witch's Bakery for a long time, but all the effort clearly paid off. Looks like a gorgeous little game and it was always clear that it would have a yuri focus. I can even forgive it for being French. 2026 is looking good already.
>>4507835Did play ME1 and 2 years ago actually, and starting Legendary Edition from scratch to finish the trilogy proper feels right.The only thing is the long term romance choice is really just Liara and I wish the game had a couple more options for FemShepard to make replaying the games more frehs.
>>4507867>long termI suppose in vanilla you really just got Liara in ME1. So you either have to date her, date her and break up with her later or wait patiently for your real love interest. Personally I have gone through the Liara break-up arc a few times by now, so it's not as painful anymore, but that was always the problem with ME1. Going for Samara or Kelly in ME2 also brings some issues in ME3 admittedly.I don't know if you will consider it, but I really, genuinely suggest you mod the game. I know that most of the time it seems like not worth the effort, but the thing with Mass Effect is that the fanbase is quite autistic and they reaaally put in the work. They used datamining to find old planned lesbian dialogue for several of the characters and put it back in to make a lot of the romances fit in naturally. Jack and Miranda both were supposed to be romancable by fem!Shep at some point in development, so it was actually not that hard for them to be put back in and the mod for Jack and Miranda is very good about how it handles ME3's follow up romance events.ME1 is still rather bleak, but at the very least you could add Ashley as an option (to break up with later lol). Also Tali may not be romancable in ME1, but she is at least there for the entire trilogy, so I think if you got the Tali same-sex romance mods you would have a strong consistent experience.Sorry for rambling... I just love this trilogy and those mods gave me an excuse to replay it and now I can't imagine going back to the vanilla state.
>>4507868I'll download some cosmetic mods most certainly but I've always been a bit skeptical of how thorough these kinds of restoration mods areI guess I'm just afraid of one missed line or moment could ruin the illusion but Miranda romance would be pretty cool and a fresh experience.Do all other characters comments get "fixed" too? Like how if you romanced Liara in ME1 and then someone else in 2, she'd have a comment for that person during Shadow Broker? (Wild I still remember this years later)
>>4507874The Community Patches (bugfixes/graphics fixes) are a must. Can't really go wrong with those. Even if you don't use any other mods, you should absolutely get those.>skeptical of how thorough these kinds of restoration mods areThese are all valid concerns. I have of course not played every single modded romance, even I can only bear two playthroughs of the whole trilogy ever 10 years, but from those I played (Miranda, Tali) I can pretty confidently say that they do a great job. These mods try to overhaul and integrate the entire romance, so yes, party banter and jealousy scenarios are all included with the fixes. Romance related flags that would trigger during the vanilla male!Shep romance are all enable for fem!Shep. I think the only thing that is slightly lacking would be jealous reactions to fem!Shep romancing a male crew member after breaking up with a female one (outside of Liara or course). Or at least it would just be the generic "you broke up with me and I am a bit bitter" reaction.Seamless/Restored content tier:Miranda, JackSeamless/repurposed tier:Tali (Whole trilogy), Ashley (Only ME1/2)Completely new expanded content tier:Kelly (for ME3), Traynor (ME3), Miranda (ME3)These are just the basic same-sex romance mods for these characters, but there are plenty of major restoration projects that restore some serious content for the while game, which includes more dates and romance moments with all the love interests. This is not really "vanilla" content anymore though, so I don't think you need to go that far.If you want the purest experience you can't gop wrong with Miranda or Jack. I totally get why you think Miranda would be interesting, because she really suit a fem!shep romance. If you don't care about it being completely seamless and natural... there is another Miranda mod that adds a bunch of original content for her and makes her a recruitable party member in ME3.
>>4507874In any case, most relevant mods are compiled here:https://rentry.org/65zo3q8i#mass-effect-legendary-editionIf you have more questions I am happy to answer. The mod pages will also clear up a lot of your question though I wager.
>>4507874Actually the Miranda/Jack modder uploaded a full video of the entire romance with the mod to Youtube, so if you want to get a feel for how seamless it is you can check it out!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33ncMliQo84
Am I remembering correctly that Fire Emblem Engage has way relevant romance content than Three Houses? It’s on a rare eshop sale, so I wanted to double check before dismissing it like I always do.
>>4507882>has way relevant*way less
>>4507882The only romances in the game are for Toothpaste, you can't pair up any other characters. And unless you get the retranslation patch which fixes all the censorship, the romances aren't even explicit.So if you decide to go for it anyway, get this fan translation... if you can even make it work on your Switch. There is an installation guide at least.https://varishangout.com/index.php?threads/fire-emblem-engage-uncensored-patch.1730/
>>4507834Is there a real lesbian option or are they all bisluts?
>>4507886Lady Elspeth is exclusive to Lady Robin. She will reject male advances and is actually close friends with a unicorn who even acts as her steed in battle at times. And just like in most mythology unicorns only favor virgins. So yes, she has never been with a man and is not attracted to men. And she has a unicorn matchmaker who told me that if I ever lead Elspeth on she will impale me and eat my heart... so uh... yeah. It's monogamous yuri or death if you go down that route.
>>4507887>the line for unicorn ridesSay what now?
>>4507888Oh, this is during a big May festival and they are letting the children ride the unicorn. Unicorns like children because they are pure of heart. The only reason Robin is allowed to ride Elsa is because I chose that Robin is a virgin (and because Elsa wanted to threaten her in secret).
>>4506770>the childhood friend quite literally laughed at Zorana's face when I had her confess, all because I had the wrong statsthere's at least two ways to bag the childhood friend. you can either appeal to her sense of magic and romance by talking her up about your lumen crystal powers and how you love her so much you'll forgo a political alliance for her, OR you can slam her up against a wall and tell her she's yours and menace her into puddling for you.
>>4507923So stats didnt actually matter?
>>4507805Two women beating each other up is inherently yuri. This is the truth of our world.
>>4507935i don't know i think you need menace or domination to do the wicked version which has different epilogues? there's always a bunch of different options
>>4508014Still feels like if she refuses because your stats suck you should be able to convince her if your stats are good. But the game definitely sounds overly complex. But like in an obtuse way, not a many possibilities kind of way.
>>4507879I'm still angry after all these years. Bioware cutting out most of the f/f romances in ME2 after they were already almost finished just because of FOX fucking "News" and right wing grifters making noise about Mass Effect being an evil sex game that had a homosexual agenda.Afterwards they made many excuses like not wanting to stereotype Jack as the typical butch lesbian or Tali's voice actress saying Tali shouldnt be able to romance femShep because that doesnt align with her image of the character, but we all know it was because of the outside pressure. We know because they did a 180° in all their games afterwards.At least that made it real easy to mod Miranda and Jack back in as femShep options. I also heard there was code for Tali/femShep in the game too, though that was apparently cut in early development.
>>4508083>Tali's voice actress saying Tali shouldnt be able to romance femShep because that doesnt align with her image of the characterTo be fair this was from a ME3 interview where she explained why they didn't make Tali bisexual in ME3 (even though Kaidan for example got turned bi retroactively). I think even if Bioware had gone through with their initial plans Tali's VA would have veto'd Tali being available to fem!Shep. All the better that modders gave her the middle finger then to make Tali gay.
>>4507879I watched a bit of the Jack romance one.Do all the romance dialog options work correctly? I'm wondering if it's specifically recorded with only the ones that work...Also seeing a non-romanced Liara visit and then just leaving right away after giving Shepard the tags just...doesnt feel right>>4508083Honestly I buy the Jack excuse. You might think it's naive but have former staff actually came out and said media pressure was the reason for the changes? Kind reminds me of when League players kept calling Taric gay and saying Riot should just make it official but I totally agree with the angle that doing so is just way way too stereotypical for a flamboyant character like him. Anyways alot of shit happens in development. Cyberpunk also had most of the Judy m*le romance done too before not making it available for whatever reason didnt it.
>>4508105I dont know what you want to hear.... Every single romance dialogue that is supposed to be available is available. The romance doesn't have any less content than the male version. When a voiceline didnt natively exists, they spliced it. ME3 didnt have many same-sex files to be restored, so they had to actively splice more and change some dialogue, but I assure you its of a quality level that makes it seem natural.
>>4508105>Anyways alot of shit happens in developmentNo, they literally were basically done with the same-sex romances. They cut them out last minute, which cannot happen unless there is outside pressure of some kind, whether it be the publisher or some political movement or the director suddenly having a homophobic breakdown.The Tali thing is probably real, but nah, you dont code, voice act and animate and entire romance and then just discard it last second because you suddenly realized "OH wait, maybe the obviously butch character shouldnt be a butch lesbian?". A sentiment thart doesnt even make sense, because Jack would be bisexual by default as she was always intended to also be a maleShep romance.And none of this explains Miranda. >Judy male romance mostlstly doneThis isnt accurate. It was cut a long time before development finished and Cyberpunk 2077 was known for its horrible production cycle with many changes being made all the time. Judy becoming a pure lesbian option was also done specifically because the writers felt that was better for her allegedly, but from what I was told it was actually in response to the Panam writers refusing to make her bi.
>>4507307Can someone give me the spark notes on Elin?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2135150/Elin/I heard you can be a female protag and romance/sex ladies in it, but people also say its an autism simulator and unplayable unless you pick one of the overpowered races/classes.Also is it true that the game's 'main story' is basically finished and its only in EA because the dev cant stop adding stuff to it?
Has anyone played Unbeatable, and is there any yuri in it?
>>4508158If it's anything like elona, there's a ton of autism and yes you could technically make a female character and marry a female ally but there's nothing really to it and you'd see the exact same content if you'd married, say, a horse instead.
>>4508213Can you marry female horses? I am asking for an umazing friend...
>>4508158Summarizing Elin is night impossible, but I'll try.So first of all yes, you can seduce female NPCs and date/marry them and there is even something akin to sex (you don't see anything its just text and reactions). There is not much dialogue or personality for protag, so you will need some imagination to get anything out of that, even if the cute sprites help.The autism level is nigh infinite, but like you said, there are certain classes and builds that make your time a lot easier. Don't make the same mistake I did and start as a lesbian succubus. I could only get stronger by seducing people and banging them, which is tough enough as is, especially early game, but by restricting myself to other women it basically became a challenge run.The screenshot you have there is from the new update that added the option to be a vampire, which just like most classes, fundamentally changes how you play the game. That really describes Elin in general. You got infinite options and approaches, but most are stupidly clunky and hard. You have to build a base, get ressources, level up, get upgrades and loot and do quests. And eventually you will defeat bosses and clear the game. But most of the fun comes from doing silly stuff with the thousands of mechanics in the game. You can cheese pretty much anything if you know how. The guides and wikis for this could be novels.If you like intricate sandbox games with some crazy lore and a lot of freedom this is worth playing. Just be prepared that the unhinged dev will sometimes do 5 updates in a single day to change the most minor things and then randomly add an entirely new mechanic or race or job that will completely change the whole game. Will it ever be finished? Who the heck knows...
>>4508203Allegedly there is a lesbian side-couple mentioned and one of the main cast girls confesses her feelings to another girl, but gets rejected. It's not really that relevant.
Does Pocket Mirror have any /u/? Not with Elise, obviously, but what about the MC?
>>4508344>she has no idea what she summoned just now
>>4507434>Iwakura Aria>mostly positiveIs there surprise het or something?
>>4508348Not as far as I know. But it is one of those games that takes a bit of time to really understand how it works and it's not always clear what you should do when.It's a bit like those old point and click adventure games in that sense. Something people with very short attention spans or poor reading comprehension might not enjoy.
>>4508344No.>>4508348Also no. It's just a bit short.
>>4508344Obviously it doesn't, only prequel which was released after some time has some yuri endings in it. But as author said nothing is canon.
I bought RF4. Am I supposed to install all of these mods?
>>4508427It literally tells you not to. Read your own screen shot
Technically LPR also requires the gender swap setup (both the base gender swap and its subsequent fix mod) as a prerequisite. I'm admittedly not sure why that didn't end up in the paste.>>4508427There are currently only two core RF4S mods for /u/, LPR (by MysticElodie) and FFF (by DearMyFae). These are (kind of) interchangeable depending on what kind of experience you want. The other items listed are prerequisite mods.First and foremost: You'll need to decide between the "gender swap" and "hexadecimal edit" setups. They work a bit differently and have different features. Check the mod description for FFF for more information; it's in the second half of the "HOW DO I INSTALL THIS?" collapsible. -If you want to use Gender Swap: You can choose between either LPR or FFF. LPR's script is much closer to the original, so it's better if you want to have a more "vanilla" experience. FFF's dialogue is very heavily modified and is often a substantial departure from what the original writers put in the game.-If you want to use Hex Edit: You'll want FFF. Last I checked LPR does not have compatibility with this setup.
>>4508435Thanks for the detailed response. I'm conflicted. On one hand I generally like to keep first playthroughs vanilla, on the other stuff like the men's bath sounds annoying.
>>4508441Different anon, but I would choose FFF. Having played the original on 3DS, FFF's script (from what I've seen of it though my incomplete playthrough) completely outclasses vanilla, and not just because it makes Frey gay. Frey herself is a real character now and may possibly be best girl. She's an absolute treat to play as now, where she was kind of wet cardboard before. The other changes to the script feel so natural, too. I really can't glaze it enough. Also, with FFF, you can get the best of both worlds and switch between hex edit and gender swap by keeping a separate install of each and editing your save. There's a tutorial in the comments of the mod page IIRC.I've not played LPR, though it's probably fine if you really want a vanilla-ish playthrough (although the author choosing to not touch Amber beside pronouns because she makes them "uncomfortable" is a bit suspect).
>>4508435>I'm admittedly not sure why that didn't end up in the paste.Because I already added both those mods once and you should always check the dependencies on any mod page yourself anyway. Then it would be clear that those mods are also needed for the Lesbian Princess rewrite.
Odd question, is there anything goggleable in Nioh 2? I've been itching to pick up another soulslike as I can't just keep replaying Elden Ring. It's either this or the puppet game and I'd rather play as a woman
>>4508487I’m only like a third of the way through the story, but from the spoilers I’ve read it does seem like there’s room to interpret the relationship between MC and the female NPC who sticks with you through most of the game as romantic, though I highly doubt the game bothers much with romantic subtext, let alone text.Personally I’m choosing to turn my goggles up to ultra high power till I run head first into a wall, but I’m not expecting anything explicit.
>>4507307Are there more games like Demon Master Chris?I really loved how silly it was. The combat that stripped armor was also well passed imo.I feel that there just not a lot of adult yuri games like this. Oh I already played Sakura Dungeon for those who wanted to suggest that.Liked Demon Master Chris more to be honest.
>>4508537Sakura Dungeon has more characters, but all of them have just about the same body type. They all look like head swaps.Even though I'm pretty sure the art is done by the same artist as Demon Master Chris.Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wing Cloud just ctrl - c, ctrl - v, the combat system from the other game that was made by a different developer.Would /u/ be even interested in a new game like this? If so what would you love to see?
>>4507327Aw yeah, muh nee-san. Blessed purchase. Thank you for your contribution.
>>4508487>>4508510Nioh 2, unlike 1, does not give a shit about the protagonist. it's a meaningless self-insert with no real value to the story. So no. Being able to play a woman does once again not lead to yuri.If you need a Soulslike with "subtext" you are generally just fucked. There is Elden Ring, DS3 if you are insanely desperate and Code Vein. Only Elden Ring of all things has anything explicit an that's a pretty low bar.I think looking for romance in this genre is fucking stupid. Play Tainted Grail of a action game with semi hard combat is all you need.
>>4508544>they all have the same body types>literally shows a dark elf with a different body type in the screenshot>ignored literal lolis in the game>ignores that the major love interest is the biggest onee-san kitsuneI dunno, maybe to you anything with tits looks the same.
>>4508537You gotta be a bit more precise what you mean by games like DMC. Do you mean Dungeon Crawlers specifically? Sorry, but you will hardly find more yuri ero dungeon crawlers any time soon. There are some more SFW yuri dungeon crawlers at least. Witch & Lillies, Marykelter 2 and next year we will get Rizz Dungeon, which aside from the ero, is probably what you want.If you meant an ero game that is mostly silly and fun with a lot of varied ero content but still has combat... a Dragon's reQuest.. technically. I mean there is sex and its a horny game despite mostly being comedic. There are some CYOAs like Samurai of Hyuga that got combat and sex, but that is text based. Degrees of Lewdity has like all the sex mechanics and the tedious combat of a dungeon crawler with at least some visuals... and a clothes destruction mechanics. And tons of rape. There is also a "Silly Mode" that changes a lot of the games dialogue to be really memey and light hearted.
These are some games that were on my wishlist, What’d be the best one to buy? desu i kinda forgot some of these were on my wishlist so sorry if some of these are super irrelevant>Tales of the shire>Rusted moss>Awaken - Astral blade>Lost records: Bloom & Rage>Fatal frame 2 crimson butterfly remakeIf nothing else, there’s also rabi rabi which I’m buying anyway.
>>4508668>Tales of the ShireNot yuri relevant.>Rusted MossI forgot all about this game... has it really been 2 years? Anyway, not explicit yuri in this one either.>Awaken Astral BladeIt's an above average Metroidvania with some yuri. I think it's worth playing. At least it's in OP's recommendation list.>Lost RecordsHonestly underrated. I liked this way more than Life is Strange. DontNod actually did something for once. There is plenty of gay shit in it too.>Fatal fatem 2Sigh... despite the recent mental breakdown and shitposting outbreak, I need to insist that this game is not actually a yuri game. There is some subtext about one-sided yandere love from one of the twins, but the story and endings portray this as a bad thing and ultimately its about creepy horror rituals and not actually about love and sex, despite people trying really hard to interpret it deliberately otherwise. Basically FF2 is a relic of the days where /u/ had to make do with whatever we got. I highly doubt the what... third remake coming out next year is gonna add anything textual either.In short, if you need horror games with yuri elements you can do better.>Rabi-RibiGood choice.
>>4507307We should now be exactly in the time gap where both the far west and the far east are on the 25th of December, so I want to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas or nice holidays or just a nice day in general. I hope you got all the yuri games you wanted as a present and enjoy a relaxed day of playing gay stuff on whatever screen you prefer~
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZmRZmVKPJ8Track 1 of the new UsoNatsu voice drama.
>>4508668Rusted Moss was my personal game of the year for 2023. No real yuri but there's a girl who wants to kidnap another girl and lock her away for her own personal reason, which I interpret as gay. Plus you can easily ship the protagonist with her sister.If you want an excellent metroidvania with cool mobility mechanics, it's great.
>>4508638You know what? Fine, I'll admit that they're a little more then head swaps. This was hyperbolic of me.That being said the variety is a bit bigger in Demon Master Chris then in Sakura Dungeon imo.Feel free to like what you like of course. I will do so as well. In matter effect I'm happy Sakura Dungeon exist and I would like more games that are similar to it. I just like Demon Master Chris a little bit more.>ignored literal lolis in the gameDidn't even know they were in the game. Are you playing a modded or patched version or something? My copy is from Steam.Also also, would you like more games similar to these two? If so what would you like to see?
>>4508825I don't care. Just thought your eyes were working funny. Ask the anon who actually replied to you about the game I guess.
>>4508642Oh you're right, Mary Skelter is a dungeon crawler as well. I do own a physical Switch copy of 2 and 3, but never came around to playing them.Well I guess what I'm looking for is "friendly/playful" fighting systems. Like I enjoyed the Senran Kagura games on the 3ds as well.I feel like in the later games the focus moves away from the relationship between the girls, which is sad.DMC and Sakura Dungeon have a similar vibe. Except DMC has more rape then I would have liked.The only damage done during fights are clothes breaking and some scuffs, but nothing more serious then that.I also liked that you could add them to your team like Pokemon. And yeah I also like how silly it is.The girls don't seem to mind joining your harem as they would love to do the same with you.It feels a bit like a very elaborate game of strip tag or something. And the protagonist dances around that she loves playing this game.I love more relation focused games as well, like the SonoHanabira vn's. But I sometimes also enjoy games that don't take themselves too serious and are just about girls enjoying each other in a setting where consequences don't matter.I wonder if I'm just an outlier or that there are more people in the /u space who enjoy those types of games.I'll give Degrees of Lewdity a shot, thanks for the tip!
>>4508838>own a physical Switch copy of 2 and 3, but never came around to playing themI've no love for the MS games myself, but I would suggest sticking to just playing 2. 3 focuses too much on het protagonists. It might be best to just watch a summary or the epilogue scene between the yuri main pairing from the second game. Or maybe you arent picky and will play stuff with male protags too. I certainly wouldn't.>Senran KaguraMindless fanservice games without yuri are not my cup of tea either.>doesn't like rapeOh boy, then maybe DoL might not be for you after all. While there are normal love interests and the aforementioned Silly mode, it really is a game mostly about rape and overcoming adversity. It's sort of a sandbox sim game where you can play however you want and do whatever you want, but you will always be under pressure by the unfairness of the world. But it also has a lot of silly and horny mechanics, like exhibitionism, corruptions, selling your underwear or making cream buns with breast milk and becoming a famous chef.If you wanna try DoL despite all that I suggest you play Degress of Lewdity Plus with the Goose Mod + Mysterious option on this site:www.dolmods.netAlso make sure to carefully check out all the options before starting the game, to turn all NPCs female and to mix and mash fetishes how you prefer.
>>4508838>games that don't take themselves too serious and are just about girls enjoying each other in a setting where consequences don't matter.>I wonder if I'm just an outlier or that there are more people in the /u space who enjoy those types of games.I hadn't given it much thought but sure, I enjoy fun and lighthearted settings, certainly more than settings where the girls suffer for no good reason.There aren't all that many pure /u/ games with 'fighting' (lewd or otherwise) but I feel like almost all of the ones that do exist are closer to silly than serious, it can't be an unpopular preference to have.
>>4508847You make a good point. There are a few games like that. Hadn't really considered it as I was mainly looking at adult games.Games like Senran Kagura (3DS) and Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni are pretty similar to games like DMC and Sakura Dungeon - the adult content.I haven't played Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni, as it looked very jank to me. Yes even someone like me has standards. Admittedly low standards, but standards nonetheless.>>4508841Thanks for the tip. I purposely avoided looking into Mary Skelter 3 as I wanted to avoid spoilers for 2.> Oh boy, then maybe DoL might not be for you after all. Yeah I found that out when I tried it. I stepped outside and immediately got raped. Might give it another shot after tweaking some settings.> Senran Kagura has no yuriI'll grant you it is mindless fanservice. But I disagree that the 3ds Senran Kagura games don't have yuri in it.The whole plot from the first game is about what some girls mean to each other. There are even conflicts about two characters liking the same girl.In the second game you'll need to invest in a pair to unlock their secret tag skill. You need to pair the right ones to get their unique special attack. Just look at Hibari's two tag specials.They just dropped this whole thing as soon as the games moved from the 3ds. Which is kinda sad as the 3ds is dead now and those games are hard to get and hard to get into (especially the first game is very jank).Then again the series is long dead anyways so who cares I guess. (besides me anyway)
Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni is a pretty disgusting game because it was clearly made for the arousal of het audiences with a lesbian fetish.
>>4508943
>>4508946I know it sounds like an oxymoron but it's the best description for that piece of drivel.
>>4508950
no yuri
>>4508943>clearly made forI claim the creation and existence of this videogame. It was made exclusively for me. Your timeline where it was made for any other reason than me has reached its expiration date and does not fit this universe anymore.
>>4508915I'm sorry, but all that sounds like cope to me. SK is very obviously averse to ever having explicit yuri. But its an all female franchise so they need to somehow get into more sexual situations and have some steamy moments, so there is some pseudo-yuri in it. But is just a mindless fanservice game for the player to stare at tits. No value for me, but to each their own...>I stepped outside and immediately got raped.Yeah it's the tutorial. It does this so you know how it works. But that fight is entirely winnable without getting raped. Just cry out for help and someone will come to save you. It's not always gonna be that easy.>tweak settingsDefinitely. My personal suggestion are again to make all NPC and named NPCs female (obviously), to turn all animals into monstergirls (to avoid bestiality and because monstergirls are cute) and to turn of tentacles. The rest is just up to preference.If you like having children you can turn on Silly Pregnancy where you can get pregnant from handholding. Otherwise that mechanic doesnt really work in an all female world (beyond parasites, which is... ew).>>4508961This is nothing. Just generic rival nonsene with a "haha, it kinda sounds like we will be bound for life, almost like a married couple" joke inserted inbetween.>>4508962This goes nowhere.
Finished Of the Devil Episode 2. As far as yuri goes it's a slow burn but they're cooking up something delicious.
>>4508943That's the reason why it's great.
Absolutely nonsensical question I knowBut is there any /u/ in that one Wolfstein game with that guy's two daughters as the MCs?
>>4508977Fuck off to /h/ you freak
>>4509081No. If you are know it's nonsensical why do you even ask? The most you will ever get in Wolfenstein is that one DLC in the New Order where you can save a lesbian couple. That's it.
>>4509084Not that anon, but /u/ is a red board. Kinda the last place to complain about degeneracy when we got lesbian foot fetish threads around here.
>>4508960I like how this one gets ignored just to keep pushing a narrative
>>4508673>It's an above average Metroidvania with some yuri. I think it's worth playing. At least it's in OP's recommendation list.Oh, it's also discounted right now for me. I'll get it, then
>>4508635I'd argue even William isn't THAT much better. Largely because the story could've done with way more cutscenes that actually develope characters. It's a huge failing in the entire Nioh franchise and I very much doubt that 3 will be better, despite them taking some notes from Rise of the Ronin by having the costumizable protagonist actually say shit.
>>4507968To be fair, it's also the same with guys. Which is why shounen shows have such a huge yaoi following.
>>4509125>>4451101
>>4509126That's the only way these arguments work: ignoring the facts and pretending to be right about something you don't have a clue about.
>>4509145Look if >>4508965 doesn't like these games that is totally fine. Even though I like some of them, I know it's very very trashy.It's not for everyone and I do kinda get that the story is a bit hard to take seriously as the girls are mainly in the game to get their clothes ripped to shreds.It's a game very much design to appeal to the male gaze first and foremost. Finding it hard to get past that is reasonable.There are plenty of games that don't come with that baggage.>> 4508960Where is this from? I kinda thought they dropped the whole "girls love" angle of the story after SK Burst and SK 2.I kinda thought I was done with this franchise, but there might be more to like yet.It's not from those horrible mobile games is it?
>>4509165I understand the difference in tastes and complaints about aspects of a series that some people don't like (the gameplay in the original Silent Hill 2 is bad and even worse than in the first one, but nobody talks about that), but what you can't do is simply deny aspects that have some importance. SK has yuri, even if it hurts some people to admit that (even the horrible anime Shinovi Master had yuri).I know things have gone downhill and the insistence on doing waifu-level DOA nonsense, but that doesn't mean the positive aspects of past games are going to disappear.As a side note, this reminds me of the people who either criticize or downplay yuri in Neptunia. I'm starting to play the games and yes, there is yuri, more and better than I expected and than people claimed (TVtropes is terrible at providing this kind of information).
>>4509126>all examples are bad>franchise has no proper yuri and this has always been known>"but you didnt talk about this one pic so everything is actually just some narrative"Bait used to be believable.
>>4509170You are a liar. SK does not have explicit yuri and the few times a crush happens its one-sided or goes nowhere. Your Neptunia comment proves your standard for what constitutes as yuri are just subtext. I have played every single Neptunia game up to 4 Goddesses Online. Not a single one has yuri for the main characters, it always returns to the status quo. The most explicit thing the games have is random side-characters being openly into girls. That's it.One spin-off has UniGear nearly confess but then nothing comes of it.You cant fool me about games I played.
>>4509125You fucking moron. He talked about fapping to it and it being good that something is fanservice for horny men. Leave.
>>4509182>SK does not have explicit yuri>your standard for what constitutes as yuri are just subtextThat's yuri (whether you like it or not). Besides, I was talking about having yuri, but not about yuri games (there's a big difference) or being completely explicit.>Not a single one has yuri for the main characters>UniGear nearly confess but then nothing comes of it.This contradicts yourself and makes me question whether you were really paying attention to the game's content.
>>4509187One-sided crushes are not yuri.>this contradictsNo. Yuri is romance or sex between girls. UniGear did not start dating or fucking or anyrhing. It was literally subverted and went nowhere.Try again.
>>4509188The irony is that if we were talking about one-sided Het or something that isn't even shipptease (barely mockery) then it would be considered Het text or canon without any irony, I know because that's exactly what has already happened.
>get into AA2>accidentally make a female PC>end up enjoying the ride
>>4509193Nobody cares. Neptunia still has no relevant content.
>>4509193>then it would be considered Het textThat's not really how it works, it's just that any level of het makes anything automatically shit, whether it's subtext or maintext makes really no difference when it comes down to het, it's fundamentally synonym with garbage, and nobody wants to watch even just garbage subtext/bait.When it comes to yuri the levels matter though, some anons (like you) call everything 'yuri' even when it's just fanservice for example, others think the 'yuri' label should be strictly reserved to maintext only while subtext is bait, and all things in-between, but that's pretty much a pointless argument about semantics that could be easily avoided if some anons (like you) stopped being autistic about it and used unambiguous terms like subtext/maintext instead.This is coming from a rare subtext appreciator by the way.
Senran Kagura is a franchise in which the only explicit romance that ever happened was a het self-insert dating sim.Neptunia is notorious for yuribaiting and never comitting. The only good thing that ever came out of that franchise are a couple of really good fanfics. Balanced out by the infinite hetshit harem lemon fics posted by its actual target audience the devs truly cater to.Reminder that Neptunia's only explicit romances were ALSO in its het self-insert spin-offs!! It's absurd to try and regurgitate these ancient topics about yuribait franchises /u/ has collectively and rightfully given up on over half a decade ago.
>>4509194>AA2Could you use a more generic acronym? Nobody can tell whar you are talking about Also the fack you mean you "accidentally" made a female protag?
>>4509128Tell me how you feel about it later. I heard some people had genuine trouble with one of the late game platforming sequences, but I never saw that happen myself. Also keep in mind the game has multiple endings.
>>4509223>the only explicit romance that ever happened was a het self-insert dating sim.and the series died shortly after, really makes you think
>>4509224Artificial Academy 2>Also the fack you mean you "accidentally" made a female protag?Didn't know that the first created/added character is assigned as Player Character and I didn't know my way around the menus so I kept it that way,

>>4509287Nice bgm so far from first 5 minutes
>>4509275So you're just some dumb het gooner
>>4509243In addition, the fact that they are mysteriously the most hated entries by the fandom, or at least the least loved, while the other entries (with less het and without het) are the ones that people care about the most, also makes you think.>>4509223>>yuribaitDon't use words you don't know the meaning of.
>>4509243Neptunia just had a new game this year
>>4509290Possible, but it was first time in long time that I sat through entire night playing the game and trying to figure out how to romance girls. I never used porn for such amount of time, so it wasn't specifically that.So if you don't have proper yuri romance games with some actual gameplay, then you can take it as recommendation.
>>4509294...Now that I think about it, there are The Sims, after all, right?
>>4509194>Another episode of /v/ user ends up on /u/.
>>4509294AA2 was genuinely fun and ambitious as a game and, more relevant to this board, the last time Illusion had a female mc option or any real /u/ focus off the top of my head anyway. It's a good recommendation, not that surprised it isn't in the list though since it's kind of an oddball choice.
>>4509303>wasApparently still the best Illusion game due to having gameplay, the amount of modernized mods like more clothes is quite sizable from what I gather.General on 4chan died, but you can look up stuff on external archives or check that other imageboard.
>>4509303Samabake came out last year, it's basically a full remake of AA2 but it doesn't have a fraction of the cards or mods and likely never will. Still, it's probably what I'd recommend for someone new who just wants to play dollhouse with psycho girls for a few days and not autistically collect modded cards.
>>4509232Unlike 90% of the loud people in this thread, I actually know how to handle games with actual gameplay in it, so I should be fine. But thanks for the heads up.
>>4509293Anon was talking about Senran Kagura.
>>4509292Stop using that deflection. Neptunia is an actual example of yuribait. All the games keep baiting yuri developments and then reset to the status quo by the end and then suddenly give het fanservice like they did in Megadimension or straight up do het self-insert romance like they did in the spin-offs. This is the definition of a bait and switch. Many times yuribait is used wrong, but I absolutely used it correctly.
>>4509411I have to assume you are a different anon, because this post just reeks of low level bait and is completely different from how the other anon talked. Are you this desperate for attention?
>>4509275>>4509294Why do you come to /u/ just to out yourself this badly? You could have just pretended you weren't a dumb hetshitter and nothing would have gone wrong.>if you don't have proper yuri romance games with some actual gameplayThe sheer irony of saying something this stupid about a game with cheap dating sim/open world mechanics that can't even compete with fucking Hentai Highschool+... I can tell you are a /v/tard just by this statements. We got plenty of yuri games with gameplay. Certainly better than this shit.
>>4509287It doesn't have yuri. Just some very basic subtext. I hope I won't have to repeat this every thread...
>>4509422>>Neptunia is an actual example of yuribait. Then mention in which game the girls end up with a boyfriend or married, after having interactions between them that border on the text-based. No, it has to be in the same continuity and the same game.>>All the games keep baiting yuri developments and then reset to the status quoThat's shiptease, idiot.>>and then suddenly give het fanservice like they did in Megadimension It's still not real het if it's just fanservice or, at worst, shipptease.>>straight up do het self-insert romance like they did in the spin-offsWhich spin-offs? The two that people don't give a damn about and that are barely mentioned or taken into account? Besides being alternate continuities.>>This is the definition of a bait and switch.No, they are not; they would have to be text in at least one aspect, which they are not.>>Many times yuribait is used wrong, but I absolutely used it correctly.You use it beyond using it terribly badly; you use it to support your narrative while ignoring what doesn't suit you, and you are completely superficial in mentioning what suits you.
>>4509428>it has to be in the same continuity and the same gameI don't follow your made up rules.>they would have to be textlol noLiterally all the major yuribait examples like Euphonium never had textual yuri. What makes it a bait and switch is the apparent intention of the writer/dev to push for yuri and then suddenly switch to hetshit in the end or sequels.You aren't actually make a genuine argument, I can tell this is just empty contrarianism.
>>4509421And Neptunia
>>4509436Sigh... the quoted part was about the Senran Kagura het dating sim you dumbfuck. Learn to follow the conversation. That anon was specifically only talking about SK died as a franchise shortly after said het dating sim, which serves the devs right.
>>4509438>Sigh>Leddit
>>4509424>Why do you come to /u/ just to out yourself this badly?I ended up liking the yuri stuff and wanted to see if someone else played the game. I just forgot how things work here and I tend to be too honest.
>>4509459Fine, let's give you the benefit of the doubt. Like the other anon mentioned, I assume most people would prefer the more recent Samabake. It's at least a bit more polished. Of course we would actually make an all female cast and get the lesbian add-ons to improve it.Maybe you should look into playing more yuri games. You seem to be awfully misinformed about how much is out there. Don't let those /v/tards brainwash you into thinking there are no yuri games with gameplay.
>>4509460Alright, thanks!
>>4509424>We got plenty of yuri games with gameplaythere's either something wrong with your definition of yuri game, or with your definition of gameplay, or both
Whats the point of playing little goody two shoes if the bad ending is the canon.I asked tthis before and all i got was people mad at me.But i need honest anwser.
>>4509423It was more a dig how many of the louder people seem to be satisfied with visual novels than having anything with remotely complex gameplay.
>>4509468Nobody cares about your trolling attempts anymore. You have been corrected endlessly, this top is over.
>>4509473I litterly only asked this once months ago and never got clear anwser
>>4509470Yes, I understood what your bait was. If you are the same anon who seemed to be able to hold a normal conversation before, then I misjudged you. My simply suggestion is this: Get bent.
>>4509475Two options. You are an idiot incapable of using the archives or you are a tourist who only comes by once a year and expects people to humor your dumb questions based on your own lack of research.This very fucking thread has someone explaining LGTS you dumbfuck. I will spell it out for you one more time and then you can leave.The devs said that no ending is canon. You decide which ending is canon. Pocket Mirror is an alternate possible timeline that aligns with one bad ending and Pocket Mirror's good ending erases said timeline.There.
>>4509468I don't really care about canon, it's a fun self contained story to me like most things
>>4509223>Reminder that Neptunia's only explicit romances were ALSO in its het self-insert spin-offs!!neptunia had self-insert spin offs? were they at least with irrelevant side characters?
>>4509483No. It was the main girls. I guess we were lucky that the budget was too small to include the little sisters.The other one is just about the male self-insert and Noire, so that was some damage control, but bad enough.Can we move on now? I think it's clear that the franchise is mostly yuri themed, but sells out whenever it feels like it, so there is little point in this topic further. Most of the Neptunia games are not tainted, just useless.
all senran kagura and neptunia spin-offs are non-canon, just like blue reflection sun and the valkyrie drive gacha at least thats what i tell myself
>>4509479You'd think shippers would long since have learned to disregard canon, but I suppose not.
>>4509476Is it bait when even a simple gameplay question gets immediately bombared with 'reee, off topic, focus on yuri only' by the resident thread police?
>>4509485Of course Neptunia spin-offs arent the same canon as the main universe. The main line games can't even keep up a coherent canon themselves.>>4509486There is no canon ending, so why would this matter?
>>4509487>resident thread policeAnd there it is. At least you didn't wait long to reveal yourself. Moving on.
>>4509489Ah, so it's you. Figures. Yeah, moving on alright.
>>4509488>There is no canon ending, so why would this matter?Don't ask me. Ask those who obsess over canon.
>>4509487>even a simple gameplay question gets immediately bombared with 'reee, off topic, focus on yuri onlyThis doesn't happen.
>>4509494Calling everything bait while still responding to it is usually a good indicator for him
>>4507309Is Mechanical Fury any good? The trailer looked awesome, but if it's just a prologue then it might be too short to justify buying it. It would need some depth or replay value.>DivinityI saw the interview and apparently Larian is really trying to go in a different direction with this one. More serious than the previous ones and more cinematic like BG3.
Last thread I brought up 可惜夜の彼女, the so called "yuri otome visual novel"https://x.com/pukari_ukiwa/status/1953840517118406868The dev has released profiles for two of the three love interests. My Japanese isn't nearly good enough to parse this and translators are garbage. Can anyone make sense of these?
>>4509519>>"yuri otome visual novel"I've finally learned that these exist. Are there more examples? Honestly, I don't know if people just don't mention them or if they don't exist.
>>4509495The problem with a series itself is not the canon, but rather people who are unable to accept that a series can have different continuities; this includes continuities for all the endings, all of which take place in their own reality and are only relevant to the narrative or if a sequel is made that starts from one of them.>>4509485That's why they're spin-offs; many contain elements that couldn't exist in the main line, and having them as their own thing is ideal.
>>4509523It's not a real term. This dev is just trying to convey the sense that this will feel like an otome game, but is all yuri. This can go two ways, either it feels like those one yuri route exceptions in real otome games or it's like an otome game, because protag is a self-insert normal girl surrounded by gorgeous love interests (the latter is true regardless).There is no actual reason to differentiate a yuri game from a yuri "otome" game. The latter is the same as the former.
>>4509528>That's why they're spin-offsThere are plenty of franchises with canon spin-offs anon. It's not the case in this example, but it's absolutely not a rule.
>>4509529I'm not that interested in the terminology, what I want is a game (VN) starring a girl, with different romantic interest options (girls). I don't like Western NVs in that sense, they feel too basic. I want something where each route feels different, even if it's a bit cheesy in the end.
>>4509533>I want is a game (VN) starring a girl, with different romantic interest options (girls)>I don't like Western NVs in that sense, they feel too basicI don't know why you felt the need to single out Western VNs, when this is the case for all yuri VNs across the world, but alright.I also don't understand why you think otome games are like that. Most of them are very basic with a long common route and just different romantic events and endings for the love interests.Your confusing misunderstandings aside, we got a few yuri VNs with multiple routes that change things up. -Starlight Vega (3 routes)-Akai Ito & Aoi Shiro (both games got 5+ love interests, though the romance isnt all that explicit)-Lady in Mystery (3 proper love interests)-Love Bakudan & Renai Bakudan (each game has like 8 love interests, but its mostly porn)-Love Curse: Find Your Soulmate (4 love interests, all mentally ill)-Nurse Love games (several love interests, some bloodier than others)-Yumeutsutsu Re:Master & Re:After (several love interests, Re:After are afterstories for the routes in the first game)-Yuri Dating Agency (cute dating sim till it becomes a mindfuck)-Life After Magic (5 love interests, just ignore the one tranny)I didn't include VNs about like threesomes or poly relationships. Also nothing untranslated.
>>4509530Only very few, though.
>>4509539Definitely off the mark. If anything the canon side-story spin-off is one of the most common types of spin-offs, especially in JRPGs and manga for example.
>>4509536Anything you'd recommend to start with? Preferably something that's somewhat self-contained, because if I play something that's part of a series with more games, I'll be motivated to play the others because I don't like feeling like I still have things to learn.
>>4509541Hard to say. Depends mostly on what interests you. I personally love Starlight Vega and Lady in Mystery. Unfortunately Lady in Mystery has a subpar translation. The Nurse Love games have different casts, so they are actually both standalone.If you are fine with just two love interests, I would also recommend Please Be Happy.
>>4509543Thanks, I'll try it...>>The Nurse Love gamesI remember seeing these before, I always wanted to try them but my PC wasn't particularly good back then.
>>4509536Different anon, but western VNs have the tendency to not have a lot focus on routes instead of one route with scene variations that aren't exclusive to one another. Especially in the porn department. It's like devs think their players have a major case of FOMO.
>>4509519Something about the first girl not having her memories, but sort of recognizing protagonist. She is also clingy and strong so she will try to protect her.The other is some kind onee-san who likes to tease the protagonist, but she apparently has both a sweet and cold side. Something about how she hurt protag before. "Don't worry... I won't eat you."
>>4509540I can't really name any off the top of my head. Mind giving examples?
>>4509550Mind you that we are going far off-topic for this, because a lot of these aren't yuri relevant, so don't ask me to go into detail and be done with this shitty topic after this, alright?Kindred Spirits on the Roof has a manga spin-off that's canon.Resident Evil has a bunch of shitty spin-offs which are also unfortunately canon.Final Fantasy VII was famous for its spin-offs, before they reset the extended material timeline. Though the remakes retardation is trying to bring all the stuff from the spin-offs back in.Final Fantasy Type-0 has a canon spin-off in Agito.Monster Hunter has canon lore spin-offs (Monster Hunter Stories).The Witcher franchise has Thronebreaker.Fallout has canon spin-offs like Tactics.Dragon Age has a bunch of canon spin-off media (books, TV shows, a CYOA).Dead Space has Extraction.I don't need to keep going, I think I've proven my point.
>>4509519>>4509549A woman who guides you through the world you've become lost in.She's anxious, earnest, and easily led around. She's quiet and not very good at talking, but she seems to care about you.Her true identity is the demon "Gashadokuro," and she has overwhelming fighting abilities. She fears that her powers might hurt you, so she can't take a step forward.////////////////////////A woman who nurses you back to health in this lost world.She's gentle and easygoing, yet elusive and mischievous.With a slightly sadistic streak, she seems to dote on you deeply.Her true form is that of a yuki-onna (snow woman).Though often relied upon by other spirits as a healer,many also fear her presen
>>4509549>"Don't worry... I won't eat you."Well, that is exciting. Makes you wonder if she means it figuratively.>>4509554Ran out of letters there at the end? That does help though.>Yuki-onnaSo she meant it literally.
>>4509477>Defending existance of hetshit ed and getting madWtf why are people so touch on this subject.I was just asking a proper question no mater foult devs are fucking weird with how they handle story.
>>4509556Yea im using this mtl translator tool webapp
One might say this game can be downright silly at times.
>>4509543The same anonymous person asking for a different recommendation, since we're leaving aside the normal VNs, I'd like yuri porn that's "nonsense" or more direct, more to the point.
>>4509568...ok? Strange way to phrase it. I don't know what you mean by 'leaving aside normal VNs' or whatever. I guess that means you don't want eroge VNs? So you want different kinds of porn games? And it's gotta be braindead?That is absolutely not my metier, so I don't really have a lot to work with here. -The Huniepop games are crass, vulgar and very straightforward with their horniness, although they are still dating sims and as far as "porn" goes they only give you some lewd images for getting the love interests to sex you. Gotta select the female protagonist btw.-Some anon mentioned Demon Master Chris above, which is a game with a lot of sex scenes with monstergirls... though it is also a grindy Dungeon Crawler. That is braindead in its own way...-There is also Degrees of Lewdity, but for the details you should check the convo about it earlier this thread.-We got a game called Magical Girl Luna's Misfortunes on the translation paste in the OP. That's an RPGmaker game with a bondage focus.Look, I don't really play porn games, unless it's VNs with which just happen to have sexual content. If anything I'd read yuri doujins. Those recs above are mostly just what I got from osmosis, so take it with a grain of salt.
>>4509548I disagree that this is a Western thing. You are just projecting. This is just as common among JP or Asian or Chinese VNs. The majority of yuri VNs are about predetermined couples. That's because yuri in general has far less focus on harems and multiple love interests than hetshit. Even when triangles exist, JP yuri VNs usually go for poly instead of routes (e.g. Wanting Wings, Lilium Triangle etc.)
>>4509572>I guess that means you don't want eroge VNs?Sorry, I misspoke. I meant eroge games that are more focused on story or relationships, things like that where you have to create a bond first (read a lot of text) before anything happens. Sorry if I misspoke.I appreciate the recommendations you gave me even though you weren't interested in the topic. VN eroge was something I was also looking for, but a little less dense. I was the fool who explained it badly, but I'm also going to try what you suggested.
>>4509557You stepped on one of several dozen triggers for a specific person. Don't take it personally, it's going to happen a lot.
>>4509579So like are you looking for vns with 18+ scenes then or just full on eroge but with a bit of relationship stuff?
>>4509744> just full on eroge but with a bit of relationship stuff?Something like that would be good, thank you.
>>4509746Have you tried Wanting Wings? It's one of my favorites
Worth trying to get Rogue Trader now or wait for all their DLCs, which is another year? Or two years?
>>4509748I'll try it, thanks.
>>4509579>>4509746Jeez, you are really bad at expressing yourself. If you are fine with eroge VNs after all then there is more to choose from.As I already brought up in my previous list Reinai Bakudan and Love Bakudan are porn focused VNs.Wanting Wings/Faraway Feather also has a lot of sex scenes, but it also has normal relationship building though.The Sono Hanabira (Kiss for the Petals) series are all short eroge VNs with lots of sex scenes, with some minor cute relationship building. There are only like two SFW ones late into the series, so you can basically not go wrong. Lilium Triangle is a braindead sex VN too.Snowed IN has a lot of sex scenes.Sisterly Bliss, the literal OP pic, is a braindead incest yuri VN full of sex. You do have to get through some normal common route set up first though.
>>4509753You definitely should wait till all DLC is out, unless you think you will feel like playing the whole thing a second time later. Eventually the Enhanced edition or whatever will be dirt cheap all the time anyway, much like WotR.
>>4509765Okay, I'll add them to the list and see how things go, thanks.
>>4509753This question gets asked a lot and some anon will always say "wait until all the dlc" but that's probably 2 years away minimum since the team is stretched between 2-3 projects right now. I'd just bite the bullet and get them cheap or use something like creamapi to get the dlc free until a sale
>>4509777Like I said in my reply, this more depends on whether you are willing to replay the whole game when all DLCs are finished... or if you even care to play the complete experience.You could have played Rogue Trader on release and missed out on the best female love interest from the first major DLC and still have been satisfied. The main game does have enough content.
>>4509779I suppose that's fair but I think all ttrpg style games should be played multiple times! Especially Owlcat ones
>>4509753Get it now. The third DLC won't have any additional romance option, anyway, I wager since the entire thing is tied to Trazyn the Infinite and who the fuck knows when the 4th DLC will come out.
>>4509782My guess is 2027 at the earliest
>>4509781That's a huge time investment though. I reloaded my WotR save from where you pick the mythic paths in Act 3 (made sure to unlock all paths) and it still felt like a chore.>>4509782Major story expansions are still cool to have though. You don't play these just for the romance, that would be pointless. I also don't get why everyone is in such a hurry. Are you this desperate to play the game right away?
>>4509788Anon, the game is already years old and Dark Heresy is being made. How long do you want to wait? Some people actually would like to PLAY GAMES. I know, crazy.
>>4509790There are plenty of games to play. I got a backlog from here to the fucking moon. I don't need to be impatient. I play games when they are finished and I think that's pretty normal.You're probably one of those people who would play alphas, betas and demos.
Alright, I finally managed to court Amaranth! (or did she court Robin?)All it took was for me to give her enough gold to run an entire kingdom... But beyond that I love how improving her standing in the Deepwoods and giving her opportunities to regain her confidence as a ruler are actually acknowledged. You didn't have to do any of that, but it makes everything feel better. There are so many opportunities where you can ask Amaranth for help or involve her despite her trying to be grumpy about it and act like she doesn't care.Tsundere ancient dragoness is a good one.
>>4509794One of my favorite moments was something extremely missable. I did a quest where I helped a member of my crew run off with a shide girl and let them escape to start a farm somewhere. In chose to ask Amaranth to marry them on her authority as the ruler of the Deepwoods even though she isnt much acknowledged as that anymore. Despite Amaranth being prissy about it she relented helped.A few months later Titania and Oberon, rulers of the faerie court show up and get pissy about stealing their daugher. You are actually in major trouble if you can't appease them and you have to spend a bunch of ressources to do it or you will even be cursed to have your firstborn stolen (they will curse you so you WILL have a firstborn, which is even worse for lesbian Robin obviously).But because I chose to ask Amaranth to wed the daughter, you can ask her for support here and she will actually strongarm Titania and Oberon into giving up AND giving her gold on top of it. Amaranth is fully back as the confident ruler.All of this is hidden behind like 4 different choice trees and can easily be missed. This is so cool. And it's just a random side-quest.
While we are talking about Rogue Trader DLCs, they started a recent survey where you can give some pointers on what you want from future DLCs. So I'd recommend taking it. I can't post it here because of 4chan's retarded spam filter. You can access it from the news page on the Rogue Trader section in your library.
>>4509800I'm skeptical anything inputted here will make its way into actual content anytime soon.
>>4509844Look, if you never take surveys, nothing will ever by affected by player input. Reviews are too wishy-washy and cumbersome. Clear cut feedback is important for devs regardless of when they implement changes. This can help them with Rogue Trader DLC or with DLC for their future games. Either is fine.
>>4509738Hilarious, considering its the LGTS schizo who is always triggered by people just liking the game or not wanting to hear him rant about the bad endings for 20th time that year.
>>4509557>ESL
>>4509853Isn't it interesting that the people crying about LGTS always seem to be ESLs who can barely spell or use proper grammar? Were I of a more paranoid persuasion I would perhaps suggest we are dealing with some kind of pattern here.
>>4509519I can tell this VN will be a keeper. Hopefully it will be translated.
>>4509899
>>4509900
>>4509511I think Mechanical Fury is a fun time, but it definitely feels like an extended demo. Guess that's what you get from a Prologue. Protags girlfriend comes up a lot more than I expected at least.
>>4509777Honestly no idea how these guys are what, doing three games? Four if you count some unannounced project?It's already been two years since RT too, if they take another 18~ months to wrap up, it's weird to think a single player game getting 4 years of (slow) support
>>4510262I respect the shit out of Owlcat don't get me wrong but if you look at the timeframe for WotR, it took 3 years for the goty edition to come out and rogue trader was released 2 years ago but has dlc planned until at least mid 2026 with the 4th story dlc planned for July - September of 2026. If they don't have any other dlc planned then it's possible we'll see a complete/goty edition during mid-late 2026 but I'm predicting delays due to them signing up for every project under the sun.
>>4509468You would not ask this question if you played Pocket Mirror.
>>4510301That's a stupid thing to say, because nobody here will play that non-yuri game. A more apt criticism is that the ESL you are replying to is a moron who didn't even try to look up previous discussions on LGTS in the archive, didn't look through THIS very thread where this same thing was explained about LGTS and hasn't done any other fucking research. The irony of course being that this troglodyte couldn't possibly have known that LGTS first bad ending sort of leads into Pocket Mirror without looking that up or seeing someone in these threads say so. Which then begets the question why the retard didn't look up actual developer statements or read the replies to said posts in these threads which without fail always correct the idiot who posts them.In other words, this is intentional ignorance.
Oh Hella Yuri added a game that came out earlier this yearhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1812860/Dice_Gambit/?curator_clanid=6864182Sounds like it's more yuri in function than actual romance. Just femC being able to marry other women and have children with them... somehow. The game looks fun though.
>>4510493Funny how Hella Yuri shilling a game is all that it takes for /u/ to buy a piece of shit.
>>4510625>curator who's job it is to find yuriAnd water is wet >shitYou also haven't played it retard
>>4510625>listing which games on steam have yuri in them and to what extent = shilling
I'm enjoying playing the first few Kiss for the Petals games. The romances are cute, especially the first one, and some of the sex scenes are kind of hot but they also feel a bit "lez porn for straight boys" to me? I don't know if I'm going to keep going through the series.
>>4510666>they also feel a bit "lez porn for straight boys" to me?That's nonsense. C'mon. Are you just trying to incite some kind of argument? You can't remotely justify this, I am dead certain. It's probably just "vibes" again.SonoHana h-scenes are all extremely tame and proper yuri. They don't use a bunch of toys, they don't fetishize the fact that they are doing girl-on-girl in dialogue, they don't do nonsensical sex positions lesbians wouldn't do, there is no voyeurism angle where they could be exposed to males...Like what do you expect a sex scene aimed at lesbians to look like? Should they be covered in blankets and just moan lightly while you see nothing and they cry about how pure they feel?
Sonohana certainly has some glimpses of exhibitionism in it sometimes, but it's definitely one of the most vanilla yuri eroge series out there. It's like 90% light fingering, breast sucking and cunnilingus. Occasionally some scissoring. Only the very first entry had a watersports scene.
A bit of piss, some first-cousin incest with a "you're like a sister to me!" bonus, one of the games had a weird fixation on drinking spit? They're all a bit rapey in the way most Japanese games are. I guess everything's relative.
>>4510769Considering how common actual sister incest is in yuri VNs, I don't think cousin is even outside the realm of vanilla. Spit-swapping's also very tame.>They're all a bit rapeyI wouldn't say that. Only specific couples have some aggressively unbalanced dynamics like that and usually only early on. I think only Taskako/Runa and Eris/Shizuku have some moments of dubious consent.
>>4510770Runa and Takako just have a domsub relationship.
>>4510755Pretty sure one of the sonohanas eat ass, so it can't be that vanilla.
>>4510775Since when is anal considered something out of the ordinary? I also don't remember that, so it's probably just something minor...
>>4510776It's this scene
>>4510783Oh Mai/Reo... from their second VN I think? Mai was always all-in when it's about pleasuring Reo, so I'm not surprised.
>>4510308nta but its still not a good 'yuri' game and shouldn't be included with ACTUAL yuri games, as it is disingenuous >its not canon because the dev said canon is whatever you make it"up to interpretation" cope, except this time it benefits us so its okay>theres multiple endings that are yuriin a good yuri game, i'd prefer if it wasn't a choice at all for a het ending>its only one of the possible endingsimagine if one of the timelines of madoka magica, Madoka started begging for some rich dude to impregnate her for money, and then tied that into a spin-off dedicated entirely to that idea. No one would pretend to like it just because it's 'up to interpretation whether or not its canon'>the good end in PM fixes it thats not the canon ending. The canon ending is the one where Goldia wakes up in the asylum, and was even internally labeled as the true end in the files. The dev is just retroactively changing his mind after LGTS>pocket mirror came first, it was only tied in retroactively to LGTSnot much better. if we combine all the endings from LGTS and PM, there are more non-yuri endings than there are yuri in total. What if the devs of Flowers (or kiss for the petals or any prominent yuri game) made a het harem game, then made a bad-end for the latest flowers game where all the girls end up fucking a dude, and it's revealed that the dude they fucked was actually the protag of the het harem game which ties the two games together retroactively. Then they say its only the canon ending if you want it to be. its dumb. everyone will clammer how the bad ending in fatal frame 2 is canon because its the one with a continuation, but not for LGTS? if the devs went out of their way to say the canon ending of fatal frame 2 was 'up to your interpretation' or whatever, you'd probably call them liars
>>4510785>NTANot really relevant if you are just another schizo. In fact your lack of capitalization is another pattern I have seen the original LGTS schizo use before. Why are you so desperate to pretend you are someone else while always posting the exact same garbage opinion? Nobody will ever care.
>>4510783om nom nom
I knew I smelled some /v/tard stench in here.
>>4510776>Since when is anal considered something out of the ordinaryLike... centuries.
>>4510841Nope. In fact it was more common in the past, as it was considered a way to cheat on the whole "no sex before marriage" thing, much like oral. Not that this matters for lesbians. I doubt it was ever considered wrong among lesbians to orally rim each ohter. Not that we can really find out with how little details we have about historical lesbian sexual positions...
>>4510784Is it pleasurable? Sounds like fake news to me.
>>4510850We get it, you are eternally single anon. No need to keep making a fuss about it.
>>4510856>Mess with poopholes or be singleSingle please!
>>4510870It's okay anon-chan, there isn't any part of you that's dirty.
>>4510783I once read a fic about Mai finding out Reo is into asses and anal, and since then I took that as canon
Tried playind Pathfinder WOTR for the 3rd time and I just can't, I don't have enough neurons to micromanage everything. Is Rogue Trader easier?
>>4510930Try playing Bloodlines II, it should be your cup ot tea seeing how simplified "RPG" it became.
>>4510930I'm pretty sure the game plays itself if you set everything to the lowest difficulty setting. Everything is customizable, I'm fairly sure.
>>4510930>micromanage everythingHonestly, I don't feel like that's really an issue if you are willing to swallow your pride and play at a custom difficulty where you make everything as easy as possible, enable auto-leveling so you dont even need to manage your stats and ability progression and play in action mode instead of turn based mode. Especially early on you dont have that many abilities to manage. Later on WotR can get a bit tedious because of the dozens of buffs you need to do before every battle, but on super duper easy that's not really as important and there are actually mods that specifically exist to auto-buffs on one button click.
>>4507307Reminder that the Steam winter sale is halfway done and only goes for 5 more days. Get all the games you can on super low discounts. Check the list if you need some pointers >>4507312
>>4510952>>4510954The thing is, I finished BG3 and Divinity OS2, for some reason those games were much more intuitive for me. I will try Rogue Trader and come back to Pathfinder later with those tips.
>>4510980Nobody is denying that Pathfinder is much more complex than those. The TTRPG for Pathfinder is also considered more autistic than D&D 5E (the system BG3 emulates, while actually homebrewing a bunch of rules to make it more video-gamey) and WotR is emulating that very well. I think it is commonly known that the first 5 hours or so of WotR are absolutely miserable for new players, at least gameplay wise. It takes some getting used to. But that's 5 hours out of like 80-100. Sorry for repeating myself, but the game really lets you customise every aspect of your difficulty so you can make it much more managable. I played it on Normal and hit my head against the wall for hours and suffered for it. When I put it on Story difficulty it suddenly was totally doable. Once I had a better feel for the systems I did my second playthrough on Normal and totally managed.
I find that while Pathfinder is the more complicated game, it's actually to more easier game. It definitely does difficulty better - with the later parts being harder, whereas in BG3 the hardest part is Ac 1.Also, I can't help but shake the feeling that Larian did everything they could to make sure you fail as many skill checks as possible. I've never had to savescum so much in a game in all my life. And no, failing isn't "fun" - not in a video game. All that happens when you fail in BG3 is your character looking weak/stupid and you lose out on content.
>>4510984>The TTRPG for Pathfinder is also considered more autistic than D&D 5EIt's just 3.5. I'd really argue that it's not autistic at all, it's just that 4+5E went through significant efforts to simplify into a basically plug and play format where everything is less rules and more systems like advantage and disadvantage where all sorts of situations boil down to the same dice roll.
In WOTR you can romance a succubus and have magic babies together with her. That alone makes it into my top 10 of recommended /u/ RPGs.
>>4510783That is hot.
>>4510672Yes.
>>4511048Fuck no. If you compare difficulty to difficulty, BG3 is waaaay easier on every level. Act 1 is not hard at all. WotR is stupidly unfair in its first Act. It makes you deal with overpowered mobs and amounts of enemies while having a global time limit and that with a more complicated system at that. In BG3 there are no real consequences for long resting, in fact the game encourage you to with events that only trigger if you do it regularly.If you compare BG3's highest difficulty to WotR's it's not even close. BG3's is tough, but absolutely fair. WotR's is literally called "unfair" difficulty and is pure math autism. The game acticvely expects you to exploit every cheese tactic possible and only do the most broken builds and even then you still need RNG to win.You are also paranoid about skill check fails. Complete nonsense. And you are a retarded savescummer. Like everything about you tells me you cant handle TTRPGs and don't understand them.>>4511049Pathfinder is NOT just 3.5E! Pathfinder added a bunch of extra rules and Pathfinder 2.0 is a very different game compared to 1.0. To be fair WotR is based on 1.0, so you cant see the differences yet. Either way Pathfinder is more obtuse and stupid. Only stat autists prefer it. Say what you want about 5E, but with all its additions over time it has actually become a decent system that is also approachable and fair. The main issue people have with it is that some classes are shat on while others get elevated a lot.>>4511050The children thing is super obscure, easy to miss, because it's just a random unassuming dialogue choice and requires you to buy a DLC expansion that came out last, which means most people who weren't patient (as people keep discouraging here) missed that completely.
>>4510930Okay I had this problem too and what solved it was looking up a guide on how to build my class and what classes are good and not good. There are so many options and each class comes with like 20 choices on what to do. If you don't min max you'll probably die because the combat gets really hard without much warning and throws a lot at you. The first part before you get powered up also can be painful. I'd also recommend getting toybox and adjusting your stats if you're really struggling
>>4511087>you need to minmaxFuck no. I never minmaxed and got through just fine. I didn't even know what I was doing either. The game will always have a hard barrier of entry in the first hours, that's just what happens when you deal with a new system. Just enable auto-leveling for companions so their builds work as intended.>recommends cheating instead of just lowering the difficutlyWeirdo.
>>4511089I assumed anon already lowered the difficulty but was still having issues.
>>4511093I highly doubt anon actually did the custom difficutly. It's not immediately apparant that you can make it even easier on Custom than Story, which is already insanely easy.
>>4511102Who knows, all I'm saying is that if you're really struggling and just want to enjoy the story and characters, toybox is an option. I personally liked using it to get through the annoying parts of army combat and occasionally used it to fake a long rest when I was out of spells as a caster during the ship dlc.
>>4511105I don't think there is any point to cheating like that. Might as well watch a playthrough on youtube at that point. If you want to get rid of the gameplay altogether it might be time to accept that you don't actually want to play the game.>the ship DLCThat is quite literally supposed to be constantly rogue-lite gauntlets, so running out of spells is intended. It's also the least liked DLC because of its garbage story integration and stupid tedium. Unless you want to get the Ascencion ending (which you need a guide for anyway) I don't see any reason to actually do that questline. It adds very little to the story, the rewards arent even good (outside of the crystal you need for the Ascencion ending and even then you can actually get enough in most Mythic Paths, it's just a back-up).The rogue-lite mode you can select from the title screen that it adds is actually way better made than the stupid shit they make you do in the story version.
>>4511107To each their own. I wanted the rewards so I did it my way
>>4511110You swim in money and gear by Act 4-5. You can technically start the stupid ship DLC in Act 3, but it is very much not intended for you to go through all that so early. So either you break the game balance (while cheating, so I guess who gives a shit at that point) or the rewards are worthless to you.
>>4511110ok frankie
>>4511111You unlock it by acts. You’re meant to go as far as you can in an act.
>>4511113Oh really? It locks you from completing it in Act 3? I guess that makes sense as the whole pay-off of the fucker being Nahyndri doesn't make sense before you met everyone's favorite succubus queen in Act 4.
>>4507311redsh once again translated another mini-yuri game. Flowering Across, supposedly a sequel to Waterside Chirping.
Speaking of LGTS, I watched someone play it recently and I realized again how much the nerfed the difficulty. It's absurdly easy now and you make too much money. You can't really appreciate the struggle of the early days anymore... There was a lot more meaning to Leb giving you free bread every evening when you actually were starving all the time.
>>4511084>Pathfinder is NOT just 3.5E!As a massive 3.5E and PF1E nerd, you’re right. It’s 3.75E.Like it’s mechanically more interesting because archetypes, and it’s the tiniest, most insignificant iota more balanced in theory than 3.5, but ultimately all the essential mechanics are the same, it’s just as broken and just as breakable in favor of mages, and just as rich and wide open to manipulate if you want to take an absurd concept that wasn’t ever intended and turn it into an at least moderately viable build if you aren’t playing at a T2 and up table. I love both—PF for archetypes and consistent support for all the base classes, 3.5 for its absurd number of base and prestige classes and weird systems that never got the support they deserved.5E is like babby’s first pen and paper game, it’s so boring.
>>45111313.5 is overrated trash. It's stupidly exploitable, but not in a fun way that actually does anything and its just number crunching the other half of the time.TTRPGs are about roleplaying and stories not about fucking stat sheets and metagaming. 4E was trash, so people just pretended that 3.5E was perfect. It's really not.5E with all the expansions it got is more like 6E already, they are just afraid to actually change numbers because people historically hate changing editions. Launch 5E is nothing like current 5E. And you are very clearly not informed enough to actually understand why 5E is good now.
>>4511131>jesusWhoops, can’t believe I haven’t posted since that throwaway joke. Egg on my face.>>4511087Haven’t played WOTR, but I believe KM is largely the same in terms of early game, and it’s a mix of a few things. PF1E is EXTREMELY lethal at low levels; everything has very little HP, very wide damage ranges, and you’re usually facing a lot of enemies (especially in KM/WOTR since they went for video game levels of enemies to fight), you’re very likely to run into a stray crit that’ll one shot one of your characters here and there—sometimes multiple times in a fight if that’s how the dice land. You can make things less lethal if you know the systems back and forward, but you’ll have to do a lot of research to get to that point, and you never fully escape that lethality until level 3 at the earliest, more like level 4-5. Owlcat also didn’t hold the player’s hand in directing them where to go, and some encounters you can find very early are way above a typical early party’s paygrade. These games require classic CRPG save strategies if you wanna get through without a walkthrough: save early, often, and keep multiple backups.You really don’t need to minmax. For one thing, the difficulty customization is really comprehensive and available almost all the time, so you can tune things on the fly in accordance with your knowledge and skill. You have the freedom to be your own GM, in terms of making sure the campaign is as difficult as you want it to be. And even if you do put things on a harder difficulty, it’s just a question of how well you know the systems and can strategize. I chose interesting builds for my party over optimizing—I’m not saying I played totally non-optimized, but I made builds I would be comfortable playing in a non-op P&P campaign with relative newcomers to the game, and had no major issues with difficulty on my slightly customized Challenging play—mostly things were a little too easy, if anything.
>>45111343.5 has plenty of problems, but it’s actually fun to play with the mechanics and make builds in. 5E is trash that people try to talk up because it’s slightly less trash than 4E.
>>4511087>>4511135Also minmaxing guides for KM (and I would assume WOTR) are generally pretty poor, imo as a pen and paper player. The video games play very close to the table top, and while some of the omissions and changes Owlcat made do make the balance slightly different, the meta’s largely the same, and the minmax guides for KM were written by people who didn’t understand PF1E meta at all.
>>4511136You haven't played modern 5E. You probably haven't touched it once since you played a single game with the year 1 rulebook. Have you ever played with Tasha's Cauldron? Have you ever tried the new Strahd or other scenario books? No you definitely haven't.I could tell you are stuck the moment you said you only like PF1E. You are one of those people who doesn't even want to play PF2E, because you are literally stuck with just one system you never want to change.
>>4511139I didn’t say I only like PF1E, though? I like a lot of systems. And I’ve actually never played 5E, I just called it trash to annoy you. I’m not interested because my usual DM (who’s been playing since 2E and who I talk about P&P RPG systems a lot with) has played quite a bit of it at this point, and while he says it’s gotten better, he still thinks it’s ultimately a dull, mechanically oversimplified game, and sorry if I believe him over a 4chan rando in the /u/ video game thread.Also your taste is clearly awful, anyway.
>>4511141>doesn't deny he doesnt play PF2E>admits he never played 5E>it's literally all hearsayWhat a fucking retard. As expected of some idiot on 4chan I guess.
>>4511142>calls other people idiots>can’t understand 3.5’s mechanics
>>4511144You literally can't even retort without making shit up.
Isn't this the video game thread?
>>4511161Funny you would say that, these threads have actually been titled as "Yuri Game Threads" for years and never had video-game in the title. Even the description doesn't say video-game. It says "Updates and Discussion for any games, visual novels, RPGs etc." which technically includes any type of game and RPGs being separate from games even implies that it could be any type of RPG, like a TTRPG.
>>4511167Tell me about some yuri tabletops then anonette
>>4511179
>>4511173Technically any ttrpg where you can play female characters is yuri if you roleplay it. But I know what you really want.Hell, it's been years, but this topic came up before. I think there are actual rulebooks for RPGs with some yuri that's woven into the very game. I kinda forgot which ones though. I think in one you were lesbian princesses or something and romance was an actual mechanic.
>>4511173There's a joke answer in the form of Car Lesbians, an extremely small TRPG from /tg/, but there are a few proper games like Thirsty Sword Lesbians or Utena-inspired Stellar Knights and female PC-focused games like MAID or Nechronica. If you want to take a risk, you can go search the indie/PBTA-adjacent scene for weird borderline fetish games like rather recent GIRL FRAME.
>>4511183I find RPing yuri with people in real life kind of cringe though. Even worse when you arent a woman. >>4511189>Car LesbiansWtf?
>>4511189>Thirsty Sword LesbiansOh right, that was the game I was thinking of. I vaguely remember that some anons had issues with that one though.Are any of these games available onlione in the vein of Roll20?>>4511191I feel like this applies to any inter-player relationships, het, lesbian or otherwise. But these days you can actually play a lot of TTRPGs on dedicated websites, which reduces the cringe factor a bit and helps people who are socially awkward enjoy the hobby.
>>4511191>You have a car and you're a lesbian. Chatacters have two stats: Hotness and Car. All conflicts are resolved thorugh either high-speed chases or tense makeout sessions>>4511193TSL is the biggest one and has a Roll20 bundle for 50 bucks, Maid and Nechronica have mods for Tabletop Simulator.
>>4511201Oh wow, I didn't expect any of them to be actually available for Roll20. I've never played anything but DnD and 40k before, so I'm pretty clueless about other TTRPGs desu. WoD seems too annoying and I don't even know if anybody still plays the Fallout one.What makes Nechronia female PC focused?
>>4511217>What makes Nechronia female PC focused?The PCs are essentially sentient zombies with hearts in a dead world. They're explicitly said to be girls, they're named 'dolls', and the tutorial playthough features a couple of girls and ends with them being in love and finding a womb.
>>4511243Hmm, should have expected something undead from the title Nechronia. Really not into zombie stuff though. Dare I even ask what "finding a womb" implies?Maybe I will look up Stellar Knights instead. I could go for some Utena with an all lesbian cast instead of all the rapist dudes.
>>4511246>Dare I even ask what "finding a womb" implies?The objective of the game is finding body parts from enemies or dead things in the environment to either replace your damaged parts or upgrade them. The characters from the tutorial find the womb in a tube, in a lab.
>>4511272Regardless of where they find it, the question is why they need it. It can't be anything yuri friendly.
>>4511292>is why they need itI checked the replay. They want to have a baby, and so happen to find an egg and sperm in tubes in the lab.As for the womb, I made a mistake. They didn't find it in a tube, one of the characters mutated it.
>>4511314Ew, if they got all that tech, at least make it iPS cell related.
>>4511330They don't have that tech, though. What they can't necromance, they have to go without.
>>4511314>mutatedPlease. tell me the stories of old, nee-san. What did they Frankenstein into a womb?
Finally picking up Dragons Dogma 2I know romance isnt its biggest strength, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Aelinore quests in the original and hope this will at least deliver the same.
>>4511334You didn't get it. If they find all that shit at the lab, they might as well find the iPS fake sperm cells instead of the alternative.>>4511365Did you seriously save that pic from over a year ago for no reason? lmao
>>4511339>What did they Frankenstein into a womb?Presumably, a living human. Apparently they still exist in this post-zombie apocalypse world, but they're hidden. The tutorial playthrough ends right as they find the eggs.
>>4511365I've been avoiding this game due to the reviews on Steam saying it runs poorly and is a general downgrade to the first game.What do you and others who've played it on /u/ think?
>>4511508The biggest complaint seems to be it feels more like DD 1.5 than DD2, and that it essentially just “ends” when you thought there would be more. But it seems you’ll still get a solid 30-40 hours out of it and the feeling of combat and adventure it offers, assuming you enjoyed DD 1, is replicated by few other games
>>4511191>I find RPing yuri with people in real life kind of cringe thoughI get that in real life to be sure. In writing, online, though, there's a detachment that people who aren't weirdos can apply. At least that's how I've always approached it. It's pretty simple: instead of first person, use third person. Tacit acknowledgement that the players are not the characters and that the characters are being written to formulate their own independent personalities that are guided by the writers but if said writers don't suck their choices are informed by existing personality and history and not just whims of the writer. That's how you get characters that aren't just self-inserts, which I feel should be the goal even in RPG settings.But this isn't the /lit/ thread so I guess just don't bother getting into it if it's just too weird for you. You need people you can trust either way.
>>4511552RPGs are pretty much about self-inserting though. Even when you just create a character you want to write a backstory and personality for that isnt yours, in the end you need to identify with the character as the game forces you to play from their perspective. Playing online is probably better especially if you dont need to see or hear the players.
>>4511167That kinda gives me an idea. Should we maybe make a list of all kinda of yuri relevant games that aren't video-games? TTRPGs, board games, card games. Occasionally anons come here to ask about card games at least.Dunno, might be useful to some and it's not like there is any other thread on the board that would compile this kind of stuff. We don't have board game threads or the like.
>>4511603There arent really that many though? Even the Rpgs anon listed above arent inherently yuri focused except for Thirsty Sword Lesbians. There was also that one yuri card game made by the company who made Witch & Lillies. That's probably the extend of it.
>>4511603If you feel you know enough about the subject to get the ball rolling then just go for it. You don't need anyone's permission.
>>4511615Do you remember the card game's name?>>4511626I'm clueless, so I would need some recommendations to make a list.
>>4511629Nope, dont remember the name. But I still have the cover art.
>>4511602>RPGs are pretty much about self-inserting though.No they're not. That sounds like /v/ermin logic. The characters I play are never "me" in any way shape or form. For me, at most, i'm a Jiminy Cricket figure - guiding my character. When I make a decision in an RPG I don't think "What would I do?", I think "What would this character do?".
>>4511602Idk maybe I just think about it differently than other people do, I approach it like collaborative writing. I think my way is healthier, but apparently it's not more common. When I'm making a character, I want it to be a story I'd want to read, not someone I want to be, even if it's a first-person perspective story. I think what the character would do, not what I would do as the character.>>4511638Yeah exactly.
>>4511687"What the character would do" very rarely is actually completely different from what the player likes to do though. In the end you make characters that interest you and just like an author puts something of themselves into the characters of their novels, a RPG player will inevitably do this too. You won't or at least rarely make a character you personally despise. You wouldn't make choices that go completely against what you find interesting or agreeable. Maybe if you intentionally play the villain and try to be as amoral as possible there might be a chance, but even then most people prefer to make morally grey villains or conflicted characters, because it appeals to our love for complexity. Regardless, this is all retarded waffling. You dont roleplay yuri with other people at the same table, that's just fucking cringe. Especially if you or the other person is a dude. Player/Player romance should be banned from any RPG table. Keep it to NPCs if you have to.
>>4511695Just shut up
>>4511714>you make characters that interest youBut I don't interest myself. My whole point is I don't want to BE the character, I want to LIKE the character.
>>4511721In other words you are projecting an idealized self on the character. Even if you hated your own fucking guts, if you like apple pie and your character mysteriously also likes apple pie, it's not really hard to tell where that trait came from, is it?
>>4511714>a character you like or find interesting has to be like youDo you understand the concept of self-hate? Low self-steem? People not liking themselves or finding themselves interesting? You sound like you're incredibly sheltered
>>4511734Stop trying to force everyone to follow your retarded logic, self insert tard
>>4511735>>4511739Brain damage does not absolve you of having to post something coherent.
>>4511741It's far more incoherent to think everyone likes themselves enough to need to see themselves in characters to like them or find them interestingIt's incoherent to think self inserting is a must
>>4511747It's not even a matter of liking oneself, most people aren't so self-absorbed that they only care about how something relates to themselves. I like cats, I don't want to be a cat. I think lobsters are neat, I sure as hell don't want to be a lobster. I think rocks are cool, I have never fantasized about wanting to be a stone I wanted to put a cleavage joke here but I didn't think anyone else would think it was gneiss.>>4511714I don't even disagree with your last point. Roleplay in-person is awkward as fuck and at best should be a silly party game nobody takes too seriously. But even online RP shouldn't be something anyone takes too seriously and romance, even when both parties keep a professional detachment out of character, always just ends up being weird, like trying to get your kids to date each other.
>>4511734>unable to rationalize people making a character that isn't them>unable to understand likeable traits just being likeable traits rather than projecting traits one likes about themselves or wish they hadI mean this in the most unironic, 100% serious, not at all shitposty sense: It sounds like you just have some form of autism. Being unable to understand other people except in terms of "me" projected on them is textbook sperg-think.Normal people have no problem liking things for other people that they don't like for themselves. I hate formal wear, I have zero desire to wear it, if I had all te money in the world in an idealized setting, I would not buy any of it. I still think it looks nice on characters.
>>4511747>>4511756I'm sorry, but if anybody is displaying severe autism here it's you losers. You can barely comprehend my posts and are very clearly triggered to the point of having violent autismo episodes. My point was really not that complicated and yet you still failed absurdly at understanding it.Self-inserting has layers and isn't just "This character is me" or otherwise your characters would be broke fags without a job or education every single time. Obviously you project your likes onto what you roleplay, regardless of whether you would want to be that character 1:1.The formal wear example is perfect, because you morons would actually think this is about "in an ideal world I would wear formal wear" when the point is actually "I think formal wear looks snazzy and so my characters wears it". You still pushed your preference on that character. If you make a lesbian character, the whole fucking point of this inane conversation, then it's becuse you are either a lesbian or like yuri. You cannot detach yourself from that no matter how hard you try.If you made a character that actually had nothing of you in it, then chances are you wouldnt fucking enjoy playing that character. Maybe a DM can do that with some random NPCs or mobs that they dont give a shit about, but if your player character is actively everythintg you hate, you wont play it. Imagine you were forced to play a transwoman cat fucker with a lisp. I doubt you would enjoy that.
>>4511759I feel like you're twisting yourself in knots to "win" an argument that isn't about what you're asserting that it's about. Like, you seem to just be arguing semantics. I feel like the other anons are asserting that RP doesn't have to be about making a character you want to be and you're saying that self-inserting isn't about being the character. These statements don't really line up against one another the way you seem to be making them. We're not arguing about the definition of the term self-insert, we're debating whether one can roleplay a character without it being some wish-fulfillment idealized self.
>>4511761I just gave you the prime example why you are wrong. Anybody here will probably admit that they want to play a female character who is into women (if you don't, the door is over there, I hope you had a nice time on /u/ tourists). If that isn't the ideal being projected on a character I don't know what is. And it's fucking creepy for a guy to pretend to be a lesbian and make the lesbian romance another guy's lesbian character while they make up the fucking dialogue for those lesbians. This is the difference between RP and writing a collaborative novel or something.
>>4511765See this is what I'm talking about I didn't even stake a side in this fucking debate I just said you didn't seem like you're arguing the same thing everyone else is. It's like people are talking about whether crabs count as seafood and you're asserting they're actually arachnids.
>>4511768No, I gave you an example why I was correct about my premise and how the other idiots are in denial because they don't go to the logical conclusion of what they claim they are doing.
>>4511771No, you asserted I was wrong, about something I wasn't arguing about.
>>4511774No dumbass, you were wrong about me talking about something else and I explained to you why. You are apparently just as brainless as the other two.
>>4507312Appreciate the winter sale update for this list, brought a couple of games that I had forgotten about otherwise
>>4511849Honestly I had a pretty big haul too. If you only buy stuff during the summer and winter sale you are pretty much covered for the whole year.
>>4511632They made two yuri card games actually.
>>4511603People already mentioned Car Lesbians and the gay intro to Nechronica so I feel the need to bring up something else obscure, Magical Burst. Madoka (and other mahou shoujo) inspired TTRPG.There could be gay stuff in any TTRPG, especially something like most World of Darkness ones, but IIRC Magical Burst has an emphasis on bonds to other people in a character's life mattering and keeping them grounded while being more relevant to whatever plot beats happen and whatnot.
>>4512024So like an emotional bonding mechanic?>gay intro to NechroniaI don't really see what was gay about it unless anon failed to mention something. An all female cast is good, but them getting some womb and functioning ovaries/sperm is not very gay...
So has anyone bought anything good on the sale yet? I bought mass effect trilogy, Im thinking about maybe getting dragon age inquisition and maybe horizon
>>4512080I mean... you could have just looked at the thread? Several people mentioned buying stuff on the sale. Even right above you.Did you buy the OG trilogy or the Legendary edition? LE is basically on deep sale all year and is genuinely cheaper than buying the original three trilogy games separately, so I just assume you did.
>>4512287LE.
>>4512287Also I scrolled up but anons were fighting....like usual...so I figured it'd be more fun to see if anyone had anything better to say!
Since no one mentioned it, yuri content in Of the Devil episode 2 spoilers:>female detective is bisexual>lesbian womanizer side character>Morgan has a high school backstory where she possessively wants to have exclusive friendship rights to another girl>main female rival is seemingly going on a date with someone else, teasing this could trigger Morgan in a future episode
>>4512524I can't wait for this to go nowhere...
Does Atelier Resleriana rw have yuri? Most of what I've seen and read is about the 2 protags. Usually Atelier is pretty good about having yuri in their games.
>>4512886Is this obvious bait? Yup. Will I cut this short anyway? Yup.No it doesn't have yuri, just some subtext for certain pairings and one AU pairing with a Gbed dude, which is obviously irrelevant.And Atelier NEVER had a single entry with explicit yuri, so please don't even start with such seethrough lies.
>>4512886Oh wait you werent even talking about the gacha, but the recent waifubait game? Hetshit, just like every single Atelier game since Ryza has been.
>>4512886I will also add that, in addition to the lack of yuri, the game is also pretty shit in my opinion.It doesn't hold a candle to Lulua/Sophie 2.
Anons, if you change something on the mod/TL paste, you should mention what it was. I really don't fancy scanning through the entire thing and comparing every item with the main paste.
The End of History, a rather janky Mount and Blade clone, allows you to woo ladies playing as a lady. It's really nothing; your lover doesn't even have any unique dialogue after the quest, but noting that it exists is still better than half of the discourse in these threads.
>>4513118No it's not.
I wish Slay The Princess had a female protagonist or at least an option. The gay tension would be amazing. Guess I'll have to wait for Scarlet Hollow to finish.
>>4513067You could keep a copy of the latest version you've seen, then use a diff tool to easily check all changes.
>>4513171Sounds like quite a hassle when it should just be common sense to mention what one adds to the paste... for now I figured out that a dead link was changed. I didn't realize CDromance is back up again. Guess that retrogametalk repo wasn't necessary after all.So I changed all repo links back to the CDromance versions.
>>45109585 hours till the winter sale ends. Last chance to use this sales list. I'll probably reuse it again in summer.
>>4513174>Sounds like quite a hassleOnly if you manually check line by line. There are websites for comparing text.
>>4513204I meant it's a hassle to copy the paste in a document every time it gets changed, then compare both scripts. I don't understand why this obligation is suddenly hoisted on me.But fine I will keep a copy just in case.
>>4513174>>4513207I suggested it for your convenience, a public document that anyone can edit is hard to keep track of, relying on random posts and common sense sounds like much more of a hassle than just using an automatic comparer whenever you feel like it, and that would also guard against troll edits.Alternatively a repo can be setup in place of the rentry, it would automatically track any changes and force a commit message for each, but there's a lot of retardation ingrained in repositories so it might be overkill for a single document.
>>4513268I dont expect the paste to get updated that frequently anymore, it's already pretty solid. And people telling me what they added certainly worked until now. I did even tell people not to share the public version anywhere else so that we could keep outside interference to a minimum.>troll editsThe entire reason I made two separate pastes is to counteract this. The true paste is untouchable and will only be changed by me, so no troll can actually do anything. I even periodically overwrite the public paste with the main paste every few months to keep things consistent between them.Under that light maybe copying it to a document every now and then doesn't seem like much more work either I suppose.
>>4513067>>4513174I'm really sorry Anon, that was meI went to play and forgot to say anything
does anyone have any reccs like misericord?
>>4513291Was there anything aside from the CDromance links?>>4513295I don't think there is anything exactly like it, but I liked Black Closet. Feels like it has a similar atmosphere if nothing else.
>>4513298no, just the link for the disaster report game
>>4513118AI shit.
>>4513118Game?
>>4513781retard
What are everyone's most anticipated yuri related games this year?Personally I am looking forward to Moon Princess and Magical Princess. Getting two high quality Princess Maker/Volcano Princess type raising sims in one year is honestly a big surprise. Though I hate wuxia garbage, so I'm more interested in Magical Princess, despite it having less clout.As for VNs, I really want to play the Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma. Mesugaki demon queen getting absolutely destroyed by princess pussy is genius.
>>4513149SAME
>>4513905I hope Hell Maiden goes out of EA this year
>>4507311Thanks for putting together the list! I was thinking of playing DQ11 as my first DQ game (for non-yuri reasons) but happened to check it out and I see it's got yuri mods. My question to anyone who has tried it is, does the game have any VA that could ruin the impression, or is it all good to go with model + text + equipment mods?
>just kill her again FFS why can't SE just do right for this series.
>>4514024Well for one protag is silent, so that part is not going to be a problem at least.Unfortunately the female Luminary rewrite mod does not alter the audio at all. Would have been pretty hard with some of the rewrites. If you can't understand Japanese, I suggest switching to JP audio option. That should help a bit.
>>4514088Wait... arey the just gonna abandon Double Exposure's plotline? That would be kinda hilarious.
>>4514088>>4514149>release date 2025Sounds like a fake
>>4514024>>4514148There is also the option to turn voice acting to mute. Just imagine DQ11 is a one of those older games without voice acting. All other audio works just fine still of course. Tho the jap dub thing is probably better.
>>4514165Didn't even notice that. Still a funny joke then.
>>4514165Could be a placeholder or the date they originally planned to release it. Afaik the fact that it was on the PEGI site means that the people there actually played the game (in a finished or almost finished state) in order to release its rating (unless someone is so committed to trolling that they hacked the site just for this).Last I heard, some insider said that D9 had a contract with Square-Enix for two LiS games, so even if DE flopped they still have to release another one (makes sense after seeing DE's ending).It's still pretty weird if they make Chloe the focus of this one though, after they were so adamant to write her off in DE. If they always planned to have her return in the sequel they should have at least hinted it when the fanbase shitstorm began. If, on the other hand, they scrapped their original plan in order to please the angry Pricefielders it seems unlikely that the game it's already so close to release that it received PEGI certification.
>>4514171The original JP release of the game actually didn't have any voice acting, hence why the option is there. Wasn't until the Switch re-release that they added a JP dub.
>>4514190Oh I didn't know that. I don't mind RPGs without voice acting (Chrono Trigger is probably better exactly because it has none). I think the English dub is also really cringe in DQ11, so I was playing with JP dub anyway.Hope that anon is fine with picking one of these solutions. DQ11 is fun.
Yuri-goggle status?
>>4514456The Mado series never featured any yuri, this is not a game that has any dating mechanics, it's made by Idea Fuckers, who are incapable of comitting to yuri and even the couple of screenshots they chose to show already feature a teacher going on about finding a husband. Plus important male characters.Not even worth coping.
>>4514516What about mods?
>>4514534The game isnt fucking out ya numpty. And there is no dating mechanic, so there shouldn't be much to work with.
>>4514516thanks for the heads up. i'll go ahead and remove it from my wishlist>incapable of commiting to yurii still like neptunia, even when i know it'll never commit to anything.
>>4514542>i'll go ahead and remove it from my wishlistWhy are you letting a single moron's opinion sway you? Wait until the game is released and then check the reviews.
>>4514562While even a moron like you should be able to tell that this game won't have yuri for the reason stated, you are technically correct. The final release will have the final say.
>>4514564And even if a game doesn't have yuri, that's what mods are for.
>>4514570There are none you retarded molerat. And there won't be any yuri mods ever.
>>4514583>the game isn't out yet>IT TOTALLY WON'T BE YURI!
>>4514587I don't give a shit about your obvious shitposting. I will be right in the end as always.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNpKNVC8tkEHahaha what the hell
>>4514587>part of a series that was never yuri>male characters prominently featured>IT TOTALLY WILL BE YURI!
>>4514632Nothing about Signalis' steam page suggested it would be yuri, and here we are.Just wait until the release date to act like a douche; until then shut your mouth.
>>4514635How many games are in the Signalis series?
>>4514627There better be a secret Cynthia sex scene, you cant have two Dawns and no Cynthia to groom her
>>4514638>"Things can't change! things never change for a long-running series!"
>>4514627Now I'm curious, that one looks to be a bit of a meme but are there any other interesting Pokemon romhacks/mods with yuri out there?
>>4514635Except the whole thing about her searching for her girlfriend which was prominently featured in the trailer, dumbass.
>>4514691Right, like Neptunia and Atelier.
>>4514696The trailer wasn't explicit about their relationship. >>4514728Both series became more subtext-heavy as time passed.
>>4514773You are trying too hard. Signalis was incredibly obvious about the fact that the lead was looking for her lover. Accept when you have lost.
>>4514773>both series became more subtext heavyThis is bullshit. Neptunia if anything became more waifufaggy and het. Neptunia 1 has the same level of yuribait as VII. It never became any more explicit. Subtext isnt yuri, but your garbage narrative fails entirely.This is even fucking worse with Atelier which turned from a series with occasional yuri subtext to a waifufag series aimed at horny dudes and had explicit het couples.Stop making shit up just because you got easily cornered.
>>4514627Yurilocke is real.>>4514695I dont think so unfortunately. There is one where one character has two moms but that's about it. Most popular romhacks are stuff like Moemom where all Pokemon become monstegirls. There is also some porny Pokemon romhack that got attentik lately, but its all futa crap.Honestly, just play Casette Beasts. Its basically legally distinct Pokemon and femC can date girls.
Has anyone who can read moon runes played magical girl witch trials? it's getting an english translation soon and i keep seeing it brought up xitter yuri circles
>>4514860It overall has solid subtext with explicit yuri in one of the endings, nice to hear it's getting a translation. There's also a manga adaptation but I don't think the fan translation ever got paast the first chapter.
>>4514862thank you>>4514863shut up, fag
>>4514879>*bad endingfatal frame 2 did it
>>4514881Nope. FF2 doesnt actually have any explicit yuri endings. Not in any of the remakes either. Gues we will see what unnecessary remake number 3 will offer...
>>4514695In Pokemon Reborn two gym leaders are dating, but it's revealed that one of them is asexual and only dates the other out of fear of the other attempting suicide, which happens when she finds out. Pokemon romhacks are fucking edgy. Girls Hunter was discussed here once, and it's mostly about lesbian slave play but it has some edgy shit there too.
>>4514894I'm personally looking forward it (I even already preordered it) because a. First time Fatal Frame 2 will be on PCb. I've only played the original PS2 title and that was like 15 years ago so it will be a fairly fresh experience for meDon't care if it doesn't have yuri; I just enjoy the Fatal Frame games immensely.
>>4514924>Don't care if it doesn't have yuriYou are on the wrong board then.
>>4513905Also looking forward to the demon queen VN. I love that artstyle.
what's up with ebi-hime?how do they have such a massive output of vn's?
>>4515039Yuri VNs are profitable and professional VN developers stick to hetero leaving an untouched niche. As simple as that.
>>4515039She has artists who volunteer for her projects, so she basically just writes them.>>4515040Shut up retard. You will flipflop on whatever fucking bullshit comes to your tiny walnut brain each week. Every part of this fucking post is insufferably stupid.
>>4515046You having a mental breakdown or something?
>>4514862It has "explicit yuri" in one of the bad endings that has no value to the actual plot. Don't mislead people.
>>4514860>>4514878I'd recommend checking the previous thread, the initial report was inaccurate, it turned out the supposed maintext ending isn't actually maintext, and it's also the worst type of bad ending, literally everybody dies, including the 'implied' yuri pair, with the degree of implication also being up in the air considering the source anon was unreliable at best.Also said pair isn't even a thing in the canon ending anyway, despite the drought of lengthy japanese yuri VNs in recent years it might even be a worse option than reading a western one.
>>4515321>despite the drought of lengthy japanese yuri VNs in recent years it might even be a worse option than reading a western one.I wish I could take your warning seriously, but when you post something this retarded I can't pretend to treat you like anything but a mentally challenged freak.
>>4515323Well if you want to take the bullet that badly, I'm not stopping you.
>>4515324I'm not going to play that VN, but nothing you say has any sway when you make yourself sound like a clown.
>>4515325Wise choice.
>>4514862Someone released an edited MTL for the gamehttps://rentry.org/ManosabaMTL
>>4515540This game isn't even yuri, so there is no reason to share this. Even less when it's a garbage MTL even though a proper translation is in the works.
The crowdfunding campaign on WataMari Volume 2 is over. There has been a lot of art shown off as a preview. The title "our fake marriage" is kind of interesting. Very different from Volume 1's "a match made in heaven".I am a bit confused though... seems this time there will be several couples? I thought it would be an anthology series about one new couple every volume, but maybe they are more ambitious.
>>4515694Finally something worth reading, it's been years.
>>4515760It really hasnt.
>>4514860It is a game about a dozen girls in a female-only prison. It has a girl for everyone's taste and no male characters, as well as active shipping fan artists. The story does not have a yuri couple, neither is it romance focused, but I don't see how someone who enjoys yuri media won't enjoy it.Besides, story and visuals is still better than any western VN. I haven't got to the ending yet so I can't comment on that
>>4515769>this non-yuri game is better than yuri gamesHow about you leave this board already?
>>4515770Genshin impact does not have yuri yet it remains an active general on here because it appeals to yuri fan sensibilities. It's the same thing. Maybe not everyone will agree, but I would rather read a good story with an all-female cast than a shit story with 1 lesbian couple in it. That's still consuming shit
And you people wonder why so many developers stick to subtext and bait; if it's enough for people like that anon to put it above actual yuri games, why even bother at all?
