>25% off hades 2Thoughts?
>>4540433It's a good game, certainly worth it,but the yuri it's pretty minor. And to get post-game ending, you need to forge a relationship with a male character, not necessarily romantic, that's up to you, but it's pretty annoying
I doubt anyone on this planet besides me still gives a fuck about custom maid, but I've finally found out how to mod the game to replace the MC for a woman, and even a way of possibly adding the yuri motions from one game to the other. Though this female MC is not very customizable, you would have to pick from a limited number of head and bodies (and the hair is not rigged at all), you couldn't use a maid you created. But the MasterSlave plugin already does that for sex scenes. It's mostly just so people won't get jumpscared by male genitals or bodies. The genital is completely replaced by a strap on, it even applies to NPCs, I think their bodies get replaced too, though I never tested it. It also works for the story mode, but that shit is a can of worms that I would never dare to touch, just avoid it. I made a translucid strap on, so you can make it more transparent during the sex scenes.If anyone wants, I can upload the files when (if) I finish it, or teach you how to do it, it's super easy. I felt like an idiot when I finally realized how it's done. My biggest issue is making the female master body move properly and not look all wonky, but doubt anyone even uses that. I'm modding both CM3D2 and COM3D2, COM seems more promising with importing animations from the other game. Pic is the body and head options I made for the master, I'll also make it possible to completely hide her.And reminder that's also possible to just import all animations on blender without needing to download the game at all.
>>4540589From me perspective that is just a whole lot of work with extremely slim pay-off. Why not just play an actual yuri compatible game out the gate?
Buy Tristia Legacy so they make a third game where Nanoka finally gets her harem in order
>>4540672No.
>>4540672Okay.
>>4540672are any of the spin-offs good? i know absolutely nothing about the franchise aside from tristia legacy, but i've had the psp roms downloaded for a while
>>4540682None of them have canon yuri. The end.
>>4540672>harem includes a male>devs made protag not interested in reciprocating any of the girls feelings>friendship ending>there is zero possibility they will ever make a sequel>buuuy this non-yuri gaaaame!!I know you are trying to be funny, but you aren't good at it.
>>4540589How adjustable are the height sizes?
>>4540652>an actual yuri compatible game out the gateFor example? The only one I know is koikatsu, but I've never played it and don't know how yuri it is, or what positions it has. To me the biggest appeal of CM3D2 is how moddable and cheatable it is. I've finally somewhat learned how to mod it and I don't want to have to learn from scratch with KK. Also it seems harder to import KK assets and motions to blender.>>4540694For the masters, not adjustable at all. I have no idea how to do it, sorry. The masterslave plugin can make the replacement maid bigger or smaller though, to absurd degrees.
>>4540731Theoretically, could you adjust the size in blender first and then use the edited master model ingame? This will obviously mess with camera angles and animations.
>>4540731>on KoikatsuGirls with the 'likes girls' tag (can be everyone if you edit them all in the chara maker) can be caught having sex with each other in the overworld. As for the positions, I assume you mean lesbian sex positions. It has three: scissoring, awkward cunnilingus and awkward mutual fingering.Note that nobody plays Koikatsu for the game itself, the Studio is the main attraction.You're doing God's work, anon. CM3D2 is more flexible in single player than Koikatsu, by far. Having a female master would be a godsend.

I hope the blue reflection stream is just an hour long apology
>>4540741I tried, but it got super fucked after being exported. In the result, usually only the mesh is resized, it doesn't work for the armature and they become unaligned. The mesh can be drastically edited, but the armature only shrinks a little, it doesn't go any further. Custom maid models have some weird bone data property thing that seems to persist even if you apply all transforms. Those numbers don't change at all when I resize anything, and changing them manually doesn't shiow any visual changes on blender. When I tried deleting them from the hairs, they usually came back. As I was typing this, I found an exporting option that made the armature become properly resized when imported back on blender, but I'm not sure if it will work in the game itself. It will mess the animations for sure, with the characters floating or clipping through the floor.>>4540744Thank you. And yes, I meant the yuri poses. Are we able to select these poses in the studio? And can people make their custom animations?
>>4540751How much of a fanbase does BR have left and how many of them are even willing to come back after Sun?
>>4540769Depends on how many people even knew of sun's existence
>>4540767>Are we able to select these poses in the studio?Yes>And can people make their custom animations?In a way, yes. There's a plugin that lets you do animations using keyframes, which combined with the FK/IK capabilities the studio has in theory can let you do anything.
>>4540767Thanks for trying. Knowing nothing about the game, can you manually set the poses of the maid and the master or do you only have fixed animations/poses?
>>4540780NTA, but I have played CM3D2 in my time. You're limited to fixed animations and poses.
>>4540782Shame, this could have been a major help. Thanks for the info.
>>4540780There's a studio mode where you can pose your characters however you want, including the master, though these are static poses, you can't make your custom animations in-game. Though you can manually pick a few of the sex animations (not all of them) and give one animation of each sexual act for every character, mixing them up. For example, you can give the dildo riding animation to one maid, then place her on the face of the master or another maid, so it will look like she's riding her face instead. In this mode you can move and rotate the character's whole body in any way even when they are animated, though it can only affect the whole body, not individual parts.It's also possible to import animations to the studio in COM3D2 via mods, but so far I didn't have luck and they won't loop. But I think it's possible to make your custom animations on blender, then export them.
>>4540787So in absolute theory you can create your personalised master and maid in blender, load them ingame, go to studio mode and pose them for custom scenarios? Disregarding every animation issue along the way this is pretty useful.
>>4540807In theory, yes. But why go that far? The CM3D2 chara maker is good.
>>4540820As references.
>>4540807You can, but it's better to just use 2 maids for that, you can add several of them in the studio. Their models come with built in customization, like breast size and some height change in-game. There's a mod to make them loli-size, so maybe there's also one to make them huge, I'm not sure if you want to make them bigger or smaller.One of the issues with making a custom master is that they don't have facial expressions and I don't know if it's possible to make the master's clothes and hair be rigged and move according to physics. The only disadvantage of using 2 maids is that neither can do the master's sex poses, but if you don't want to use them, it's not an issue. Though if you just want to pose, it might be better to just do it directly on blender.
>>4540827>I don't know if it's possible to make the master's clothes and hair be rigged and move according to physicsIs CM3D2/COM3D2 based on Unity? If so, it should be possible to rig bones to stuff.
>>4540771Anyone who was into BR knew about Sun, and if you were REALLY into it you also read the interviews Mel did surrounding it where he gushes about how he wanted the series to have a cool relatable male MC from the start and shows little to no understanding of why it didn't land.
>>4540830>shows little to no understanding of why it didn't land.I didn't read those interviews but it was really fun having you all regale to the board about it>Anyone who was into BR knew about SunIt's possible that they didn't. Probably didn't even know the anime existed either
>>4540827>directly using blenderI've seen it, tried it and got defeated by it's overwhelming nature. Until an easy to understand tutorial randomly spawns by the divine might of the algorithm it's back to find ways to circumvent this.Also it's missing the background assets and how it's rearranged. And the proper light settings.
>>4540829It is, but even when I joined the hair armature to the head bone, it completely disappeared after I exported. Though maybe it will work if I choose the other option during exporting, it worked and fixed the resizing problem. But I'm not sure what physics the game will use for the hair, if it will use any at all, even though I just used maid's hairs.
>>4540832Just because you are an ignoramus with zero perception doesn't mean the rest of the world are. It's way more likely that a bit chunk of players only got into it because of the anime. What is your retarded point you fucking imbecile? You just keep waffling on about how there could be people who didn't know about the gacha as if that means anything. There will alwaye be a minority who are out of the loop on any series. This doesn't mean shit.
>>4540835I won't fault anyone for not wanting to use Blender but there's plenty of alternatives for posing and animating (like MMD) and as far as games go Koikatsu's studio is miles ahead of CM's, like another anon said Custom Order Maid's strength is the single player game part
>>4540964I have no idea why you're acting like I'm outright disagreeing with you or even fighting with you. Not every person reads about game development nor do many people know of the gacha with a short life span and never left Japan besides us because we are die hard enjoyers of the genre. So kindly get off your high horse
>>4540973This series isn't popular outside of Japan and its core fanbase knows about the goddamn gacha. My question is what your retarded point is. Becuase right now it looks like you just interjected with zero actual reason to say something pointless, because you are some kind of overcompensating know-it-all stickler.Like the retarded post that started this was somehow questioning how many people knew about the advertised main sequel to the fucking series to counter someone saying the fucking fanbase is rejecting the devs for their transgressions. This is all nonsense.
>>4540731>For example? https://www.illgames.jp/product/steam_svs/en.phpSamebake Scramble is generally one of the best of these sandbox relationship/character creation/sex pose games right now. It's one of the newest and got a lot of QoL that older ones don't. Looks good too. It has a lot of modding already, though not on the level of the older games. You can definitely get lesbian mod packs though to improve the /u/.Speaking of the older games, there is Artificial Academy 2https://github.com/aa2g/AA2Unlimited/wiki/InstallationThis one had one of the biggest modding scenes, has a natural female protag option too.
>>4540974>This is all nonsenseGlad we agree that you've said nothing of value so far
>>4540976>obvious trollWow that mask dropped really quickly.
>>4540977>Anon gets incredibly pissy and expects to be treated well in return. Yea your mask did fall off fag
>>4540979That's just police-kun's nature.
>>4540979>fails at greentextImpressive.
>>4540964>It's way more likely that a bit chunk of players only got into [the gacha] because of the anime.I feel sorry for those people.
>>4540832>It's possible that they didn't. Probably didn't even know the anime existed eitherPossible sure but it's a pretty small franchise.
>>4540975Where would you find those lesbian mods/cards? Might be worth adding to the mod paste. AA2 already has lesbian content by default as far as I remember, but there were so many mods for more positions and interactions. Even locations. But the thread for that on other boards died ages ago.
Reunion comes out next week. I don't know whether this feeling in my stomach is anticipation or dread.
>>4541058For sure, but unless you finished BR2 and were absolutely salavating for more the average player would have just been content with it and not even look up if there's more
>>4541095Will you stop making up nonsense already and drop it? You lost. Give it a rest.
>>4541092Do playing the game before Double Exposure even matters?I had it on my disk for around half a year and only played for few hours and never got back to finish it.
>>4540832Just let it go. He's mentally ill and nothing you say will get through to him. Most here are already used to him and have moved on. For your sake and the sake of the board please do the same.
>>4541112I would think finishing the original game that introduced these characters would be necessary, yes...
>>4541116What are you even replying to? You have like zero handle of the conversation, huh? By the way, not the same person. As usual.
>>4541097>You lostWhat are you 12? Since when are conversations a contest
>>4541127You lost
>>4541134No u
>>4541118I admire your patience
>>4540975>Samebake Oh, I had never heard about this one before, it looks pretty fun and has nice graphics, I'll definitely try it when I have time.I remember I downloaded AA2 like one decade ago, but back then I just wanted a way to mod my current OTP and watch them go at it, and I got quickly filtered out by the gameplay. But I might give it another chance one day
>>4541134Good day, sir!
I'm very close to finishing the game I'm currently playing and I think I'm facing choice paralysis on what to play next.
>>4541199You do what I do and just go replay old games you've already played a hundred times and are comfortable with.
>>4540731>For example?I don't know if this counts because it's been in development limbo for a while, but Custom Romance City is set to have a female protagonist option. The site still gets (very... and I mean very) occasional updates. https://crc3d3.jp/>>4541062NTA, but there is a resource page on the F95 thread for AA2 that has a lot of this, though I can't claim with certainty that it is complete. I dug it out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS8Ap6CrmSNXRsKG9jsIMqHYuHM3Cfs5qE5nX6iIgfzLlcWnmiwzmOrp27ytEMX03lFNRR7U5UXJalA/pub>>4541176I've got an AA2 save that is currently stamped at almost 160 hours in. Meanwhile, my longest SVS save is a whopping 9 hours. I couldn't stick with SVS as long as AA2 because AA2, in my experience, has much more in the way of mechanical nuance and (for lack of better descriptor) "sim" gameplay. SVS felt like its pornographic aspect was more refined, but in exchange for this there wasn't much, well, "game." That probably doesn't sound very meaningful given the eroge-nature of both titles, but I'm afraid I don't know how else to articulate it right now.To be clear, I am not saying to avoid SVS. It has its good points. I would just advise that you temper your expectations going into it.
>>4541202Want to do that to.But I feel like the time between wageslaving should be spent on "new" games.
>>4541252I usually just add all my yuri games that I haven't played into a list and sort it by howlongtobeat playtime and pick my next game based on how busy I am at the time. Works well for me because I also get choice paralysis but if my life is getting in the way of a 40 hour game then it is much easier to pick something that only takes 5 or 10.
>>4541176I don't get a lot out of just randomly mashing models together. If I wanted porn I'd just read a Mira doujin. So the sim aspect of these games is what's actually interesting to me. AA2 wasn't really thaaaat deep, but it did have a lot of options for modders to sink their teeth into.Samebake has also gotten better over time. That personality DLC is still a major rip-off though.>>4541240>I dug it outThanks a bunch anon. It's nice to see some people being so helpful around these threads.
>>4540347Added a AA2 and Samabake section to the paste. I don't know if they should be listed separately, but there aren't that many individual mods I'd recommend anyway, just mod lists you can pick and choose from yourself. Also the paste doesn't usually add download links for pirated versions unless there is no official release to buy, right? Samabake is pretty overpriced so I think pirating it is justified until it goes on super deep sale.
>>4540346>Cradle Of Nightmare released (Fear & Hunger clone with yuri)Are any of the translations decipherable by now?
>>4541112Considering they already have shown choices from Double Exposure having some sort of impact in Reunion, I'd say yes.
>>4541355That anon asked whether playing the games before Double Exposure matters. Aka LiS1 and so on. Unless they mean True Colors, which is really not relevant.
>>4540751>BR got a stream for its 10th anniversay>Nights of Azure got jack fucking shit.It's so over.
>>4540975>It has a lot of modding alreadyDid the modding community finally beat il2cpp? That seemed to be a big reason why modding dropped off a cliff after Koikatsu
>>4541375I wouldn't know. I'm no programmer.
>>4541341What's wrong with the Steam version?
Can that mod for P5 be installed on the pirated version? Or is it so steam dependant that I shouldn't bother?
>>4541474The mods run via Reloaded II, a modloader, so basically you just need to hook whatever exe of P5R you have to it. I've never tried that myself, but Reloaded II generally works with pirated games too.
>>4541477Thanks <3
>>4541394afaik the official Steam patch only comes out later this year, there's a complete fan translation on itchio which is playable but inferior though.
Woah, seems the English version of Vampdoll is actually coming out in 3 days! They finally escaped Steam approval hell.
I started playing Tainted Grail. It's like Skyrim, except edgy. This also means you are usually in first person so you never see your protagonist, unless you switch to 3rd person mode which the game does not recommend. I always find that kind of unsatisfying for romances in games. I prefer to see both partners rather than having to maximum self-insert. Considering how long this freaking tutorial dungeon was I expect it will take many hours for me to reach those romance options. I did not expect King Arthut to be stuck in protag's head... what is it with these modern open world games shoving some guy into your brain to backseat you? At least it seems you don't interact with him outside of bonfires and major story moments. And I don't think he can take over your body like good ol' Johnny in Cyberpunk. So that's a relief.
Thoughts on Dragon Age Origins? It’s the only DA I haven’t played
>>4541919Worse than DA2, better than every other DA. Unluckily you are stuck with 1 romance option. Luckily, it's Leliana and not Morrigan. Also I vaguely remember there was a romance mode that adds alot of content for her, might be even gay only...Also imho 4 girls party is the optimal way to play it. 3 Mages (MC included) + Leliana as chest monkey + bear summoner.
>>4541928....you think DA2 is the best in the series?Either Sarcastic Default FemHawke is your favorite fictional protagonist of all time or you're off your meds.
There'll be a trailer on April 9th for the new game by the developers of 1000xResist. Will hopefully be yuri.
>>4541931I didn't like time-draining game design of Inquisition one bit. Unholy child of Ubisoft and MMORPGs. What DA2 did best was companions, they really feel like a group of friends. Also character control is much more fluid than in any other part. Gameplay isn't as tactical as in DAO, but feels pleasant. Chill game. But if reused locations and trollface option in every character dialogue is such a big flaw to you, then sure I guess, you do you...
>>4541935>Also character control is much more fluid than in any other partNah, Inquisition has much better character feel and gameplay in general. DA2 tried to be an action game, but didn't have the sauce. You can cry about Inquisition's "open world" (actually just several big maps), but the freedom of movement and the way you can chain abilities is actually fun to play, unlike DA2. It also does companions really well.Outside of the more personal and focused story there is nothing in DA2 that is better than DA:I. But Hawke being an actual character really does elevate it a lot.DA:O is just popular because it's oldfags CRPG darling. It honestly feels clunky to play, companions are more on the boring side and while choice reactivity is probably the best out of all the games, it honestly is nowhere near Bioware's bests. The Warden is a blank piece of carboard, which really makes romances insufferably impersonal too.
>>4541933I just finished that recently. Wildly memorable game, never played anything quite like it. Definitely interested if their next game turns out to also have /u/.
>>4541919Still the best in the series in almost all aspects, several playable prologues, meaningful permutations. Not a big of the writing, because you know, Bioware writing, you know exactly what you going to get. As for the romances, it's pretty much what you would expect from Bioware at the time, they made several strides in the follow ups, broadening options, but again, it's Bioware, not exactly the best or decent might i add, with very few exceptions, and even tho pretty mediocre, Bioware has that hollywood slop all over their wrinting, from characters to broader worl strokes
>>4541968I actually did try playing DAO when it was relatively new and just found myself not interested after a while. The melee combat as a warrior was also especially awkwardBut it's been what, 15 years(?) and therse days I'm much more into the story side of things so i'm probably just gonna get it.The only question left is...do I also get DA2 since I only played the pirated base game and not any of the DLCs
>>4541968>But Hawke being an actual character really does elevate it a lot>The Warden is a blank piece of carboardThey took the Bethesda route of lobotomizing character creation.
Female Companions of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the upcoming Mass Effect clone by Owlcat (Pathfinder, Rogue Trader). What do we think?Also since it's Owlcat, I'm gonna guess the best girl once again wont be romanceable by female MC
>>4542122I usually don't like OwlGirl designs but I am going to throw a fit when Polly isn't romancable as a Fem!MC. Or she is portrayed as super wokey. Please, I beg - God, not in this timeline.
Watching lesbians complaining about "woke" is so bizarre to me. Peruvian Nazi bullshit
>>4542128Not knowing the difference tells more about you than them.
>>4542129I don't know what either of those things are.
>>4542135playersexual "bi" women are peak brownie points rep though, so the anon complaining about "woke" is still a silly billy
Madoka-kamisama, I said not in this timeline. Please, ignore all paths leading to this universe. No debate claiming otherwise shall prosper - Homu Homu.
>>4542139>prosper - Homu Homu.Misread this as Paper Homura. Someone should make a Paper Mario game but with lesbians.
>>4542141We pray that this anonette gets her wish fulfilled and there is a company brave enough to find a loophole into the probably Nintendo legalese space. Thanks. Or motivate her to code.
>>4542142There's already a game called Bug Fables that mimics the style so it can be done.
>>4542143Good to know. Every time I hear Nintendo I fear Nintendo. Now anonette, accumulate wealth, found a company, design this concept and make it gay. Chop chop.Or go on a one woman rampage, with heavy investment and zero returns just for the dream.
>>4542145If I had the money, skill or drive to do so, I'd rather make gay Resident Evil 4 but with alien robots and Halo vehicle combat sections instead.
>>4542146>RE4>Alien robots>Halo vehiclesLeona S. Kennedy gets dropped off in 2140 New Imperial China on a Warthog to find the triads boss young daughter. In the drop off zone you shoot waves of robot zealots on a comment botting farm. You accumulate a high social credit score by solving captchas in different forms and obviously shoot robots and their creators. Some random small Chinese lady charms and helps and betrays you along the way. The young triad boss daughter swoons over you. Random enemies (exclusively female) want to molest you with the help of their robot servants. And all this time you churn out raunchy, cringy one-liners. Yeah, I can envision that.
>>4542123I can already envision Regina being the Miranda of this game, but Polly and J seem to occupy similar "archtype" for me. Not exactly obviously, but within the scope of a 3-5 person party, they seem too similar.
>>4542158>Regina being the MirandaMost definitely. And she is also probably the one that can't be romanced by the Fem!MC. It wouldn't be surprising if she is a backstabby-happy corporate drone. J looks to me like a bounty hunter ME3 Jack with a heavy background in criminal activity. And Polly gives off a mechanical Tali nerd vibe. She has probably something related with building or repairing a spaceship.
>>4542159Prob a bit harder to guess their roles without including the m*le cast to see what niche they may be occupying but alas.
>>4542122I actually wonder how many will be romancable at all. For all we know, there's only one chick and dude romanceable by virtue of the game being a way higher workload than their CRPG titles.
Just learned Affection (the three sisters master-servant visual novel) was taken down because some people were leaving negative (English) comments. Does anyone have a copy of the files?
>>4542121None of this makes sense. DA2 came out after DA:O. Also Bethesda does blank slates in their RPGs all the time, so free character creation is the only thing you get. Hawke was a real protagonist unlike those.
>>4542122Literally none of the female LIs in Owlcat games unavailable to femC have ever been "best" let alone good, retard.
>>4542123Oh shut the fuck up. Anti-wokeism a la /v/ dont belong here and has only hurt /u/ content troglodyte. Why can you crossboarders never stay in your lane?
>>4542139You are the fucking moron who started this.
>>4542183What are you even talking about? What negative comments? This thing was ao niche barely anybody knew about it. Did some random homophobes just raid the comments section of a random itch game? What do you base the reasoning of it being taken down on?
>>4542183Huh, it is down. Dev doesn't say anything on their xitter either>I’ve decided to unpublish the game for the foreseeable future. No one is at fault — this is simply a personal decision based on my own feelings as a creator.well that sucks, minus one good freege
>>4542200>>4542183Oh yippee, only itch page is down, you can still get the game from author's booth: https://mismi-s.booth.pm/items/2089300
>>4542176Considering Owlcat spent more than a decade huffing Larian’s exhaust pipe fume, I can’t imagine them dialing down the romance in a post BG3 world. But the concern over this game’s scope is totally valid. How would a company that does nothing but top down crpg made of jpegs transition to a fully immersive 3D action game and successfully nail it on the first go?
>>4542328More concerning than the new territory is that they are making like 3 games at the same time with such a small studio.
>>4542334The smelly smell of AI assets...
>>4542328You do know that all their previous games are fully 3D, right?
>>4540589Just wait for CRC3D assuming it releases before the heat death of the universe.
>>4540344Finally got around to beating The Walking Dead. Season 4 is lovely, and reminds me that yuri in non-yuri games is the greatest thing ever.Even though Violet isn't especially cute, her and Clem are pretty damned cute together.
>>4542398The Michonne spin-off also has side yuri although it is left uncertain if they get together.
>>4542328How big is their warchest? Because the guys who made wukong also afaik had nothing but gacha games under their belt before that.>>4542334>>4542357That or just outsourcing... Not like there wouldn't be issues if they suck at integrating, but it's not impossible.But wtf, 3 games? Did Bioware ever worked on multiple games at the same time or was it one at a time?
>>4542168Nah, you don't need the additional information of the male counterparts to freely speculate about the women ingame. You just run wild with your fantasies and see what sticks. This can be applied to all games.
>>4542412>Did Bioware ever worked on multiple gamesBioWare released DA:O, DA2, ME2, and ME3 in a span of less than 2.5 years. At some point they probably worked on all 4 concurrently.
>>4542432Logical. Concept artists usually don't have anything to do when the model creation starts. And model creators normally have to rest when the voice actors get on the set. A huge company is supposed to have so many moving parts and down times for any cog in the ever-so-shaky machinery is not productive.
Ended up just buying Origin and DA2, played DA2 a million years ago through alternative means I guess it's natural I pay it back now >>4542412I remember read somewhere about Owlcat has massively increased their headcount.>>4542416Polly seems like a wild card. I can see quite a few possibilities.>>4542432DA2's limited development time was pretty infamous for its time though and the game suffered for it.
>>4542122Regina and Aleesha for femMC pls.
>>4542438>I can seeDo it. Share. A wild AI-Robot / Android loving near-to-death-because-of-fortunate-events excellent pilot? Where is your mind?
>>4542443Well let's first be objective hereGinger = Soulless. Possibly alien encountered early into the gameRocket emblem and utility watch = Mechanic/Scientist perhapsHair buns into braids + Puffy pants = Zero sense of style, almost deliberate and spiteful, yet not completely full schizo. Clearly no female sibling. Brothers perhaps.I'm thinking a soulless alien shapeshifter who has taken on a human appearance. Prioritizing survival, it mixes and matches a number of clashing styles and qualities without understanding how they all come together.
>>4542452>Ginger = Soulless>soulless alien shapeshifterI'm crying tears. Almost came to the same conclusion with her looking like a bit on the autism side but I love your idea. This is perfection.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTAjZaCSTAsthe expanse: osiris reborn gameplay premier trailer from the xbox partner showcase todayyou can already guess which mc is being used for a premier like this. but anyways only regina is shown out of the main female companions and she's def got the miranda confidence.
>>4542460>censored handI see your dedication. But yeah, the marketing team clearly had one protag on their mind. Maybe they are going to show off the Fem!MC VA in the next one. And this game looks almost like a copy-paste ME project. The set-design, the enemies, the camera angles and the character interaction. We need void monster Polly the Pilot on top of that. Please and thank you.
>Release date Spring 2027>Xbone players will get to play a beta on April 22 this year>Regina is described as "beautiful, mysterious, and surprisingly well connected" and will use her networking skills to help you find new allies. She is a marks(wo)man in combat.>The companion "J" is your twin and will always match your gender. You two start off as security mercs. >Your ship is named GeminiThink that's all from the xbox showcase on ExpanseTime forget about this game for a year, unless they show the default FeMC or something.
>>4542490>GeminiNow this makes sense.
>>4542491That's quality photoshop.
Turns out we didnt have to speculate.Let's hope they're all FeMCeable.
>>4542494>Polly>SHIPgirl>combat support>achieving something really great>BIG explosionsSoulless void monster, what ever you want you shall have.
>>4542490Twins with reversed genders? This really is just Mass Effect Andromeda.
>>4542398Too bad you need to get through 3.5 seasons worth of content to get there. I suppose the build up makes you more attached to Clementine though. I guess we can call this a slowburn.
>>4542186Yeah I have no idea what that idiot is going on about either. I guess he wants to feel "special" and "quirky" for liking the boring tropey serial killer bitch? Even in Kingmaker the secret route that unlocks the true path and real ending with the whole extra chapter happens by romancing the villainess, which is the objectively best girl.Oh wait, I get it now. He is salty that you cant date the Sororitas bitch in Rogue Trader. Conveniently ignoring that she isnt romancable by male MC either. Even though the Shadow Assassin from the Void Shadows DLC is objectively the best romance option anyway.
>>4542509You lost.
>>4542512Imagine thinking that you can turn this into a running gag just by spamming it every time you are fuming with rage at your lack of arguments.
>>4542514>always making up fanfic level of headcanon about other postersYou definitely lost
>>4542122I only played Kingmaker and WotR but no, Nyrissa, Galfrey, Arueshalae and Wenduag are legit. Unless you want to fuck your mom.
>>4542539Oh you really got me. So clever and special. There there, you tried really hard. Good boy.
>>4542509>He is salty that you cant date the Sororitas bitch in Rogue TraderNot the anon you are talking about, but everyone should be salty about this. Yes, it makes sense in lore. Yes, I will continue to sulk. But quietly.
>>4542567It's fine to be disappointed about that. But it doesnt really work for that anon's narrative.
>>4542460Is that chick near the end just a hooker the MC bangs? Doesn't look like any of the concept art.
>>4542490>The companion "J" is your twin and will always match your gender.Oooh, so that's why J's concept design is a bit more androgynous. Probably to internally reflect that the character can either be male or female (and probably a different ethnicity, too). Neat.
>>4542504I read that as J having the same gender as MC.
Life is Strange released today. I havent looked at the reviews yet, because I dont want to know the horrors directly....
>>4542567>Yes, it makes sense in loreNo it doesn't. One of the Ciaphas Cain novels explains that the Sororitas don't have chastity vows but they simply choose not to pursuit relationships while depicting a retired sister having an affair with a dude.Rogue Trader could make its resident sister another example but they were lazy retards. Now Hall Monitor will post>Reading hetshit, posting offtopic I don't care. Go tell the mods to delete this post and ban me if it makes you so angry.
>>4542643It's actually surprisingly positively reviewed.
>Blue Reflection Quartet>all games in one with Ray remade as a game>this also means Sun remade as a console game with faggot-kun still inImpressive monkey paw.
>>4542663Wow. The only way to sell the male MC is to shove him into a bundle. Also the effort to make a Ray based game is wasted now.
No one here gives a shit about a game with a gacha harem shoved in it
>>4542651>retired Sororitas in Ciaphas CainFor one, they are the vast minority. Also, that one was most likely not a Sister of Battle. Argenta is, and Sisters of Battle are far more likely to be the "mind, body and soul in service" type than the rest of the Sororitas.
>>4542670>that one was most likely not a Sister of BattleShe was a veteran Celestian of one of the militant orders; due to the events of the story she even undusts her power armor and chainsword and participates on the final battle, with Cain noticing how her chainsword has the extreme worn out of a weapon that has seen a lot of battles.
>>4542677Stop discussing hetshit novels already. Nobody gives a shit about the ambiguous extended canon. She isnt a romance option. The fucking end.
>>4542678>Moving the goalposts I accept your concession about Owlcat being retarded.
>>4542680Nobody moved anything. I am not the guy you were having this pointless conversation with. I'm just pointing out that, as fucking usual, you are discussing off-topic media for retarded flimsy reasons. It literally does not matter what your hetshit books say. They dont factor into the basic reality that Argenta isnt a romance option. So shut up.

>>4542692Whatever happened to the manga?>>4542693How so?
Interesting-looking game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4012490/MONOPHOBIA/>MONOPHOBIA is a side-scrolling adventure game. It features a 2.5D visual style inspired by fifth-generation era games, combined with modern visual techniques.>The gameplay centres on puzzle-solving and detective work. Players will use each character’s abilities to uncover clues, connect information, and then reach conclusions.>With light psychological horror elements, the story follows urban myths and the relationship between the main characters, gradually uncovering mysteries hidden beneath everyday life.Looks like Twilight Syndrom x Urban Myth Dissolution Center
>>4540344Just bought The Vampire's Bride.Hope it will be good.
>>4542702I saw it on twitter the other day and meant to post about it here but completely forgot.But yeah, it does look neat. Art and character design looks really Chigusa Minori inspired.
>>4542703The reviews on the JP version were good (though there werent a lot of them). I really liked the demo, so fingers crossed!
>>4542699>How so?...because there is no yuri in it? I don't know how I can be any more clear about it than that.
>>4542705nta but I fucking bought the JP version.Why the fuck are there two versions in the first place?
>>4542702They ARE holding hands on the cover, so that is a pretty good start.
>>4542707I have no earthly idea, but it was known for over a year that they are split. It was talked about pretty much everywhere this VN got brought up anon.
>>4542702This artstyle really reminds me of something... Fatal Twelve?
>>4542709Yeah, I was aware, but the fact the JP version's page was fully translated and looked nearly identical is at fault I'd say.(and of course I just checked and now the title is in Japanese so people will think I'm wrong or insane)
>>4542690The only romance option in the game is Chloe Whether that's a good or bad thing is of course subjective, but at least it's yuri.
>>4542712That is some goofy shit, not gonna lie. At least you can refund it anon. No money lost.
>>4542715I'll see what I can do, but I think the refund window is gone, I actually bought it just as it was added to Steam, wasn't today.Think there's a 2 week window or something.
>>4542718Uh... whoops? But we did mention that the EN version was in steam approval limbo several times in the last threads, so I think this was entirely preventable.
>>4542720I don't really browse these threads all that often, I just happened to be here today because I wanted to see if you guys had any extra info about the Blue Reflection thing and the whole Sun debacle.
>>4542722The extra info is to not give money to Mel kishida's retarded self-insert male scheme. You are welcome.
>>4542663OH WOW. They learned absolutely nothing. What a fucking insult. They could have made a trio while letting Sun rot but Kishida Mel really wants to push his self insert. Fuck this.Shame because a game version of Ray could've been great without Sun and the faggot male polluting the franchise beyond all recovery. Fuck this bait
>>4542651>>4542670>>4542677It depends from covenant to covenant. Some tale vows of celibacy, some don't.
>>4542726The one silver lining is that they're removing the character events. Main story only so no scenes of the girls going "kyaa! ecchi!" at the self-insert.
>>4542741This means nothing and will not change anything about the fact that nobody here should or will buy it. The franchise is dead and it was a self-inflicted suicide.
>>4542630Looks like a strip club
>>4542718Link? I've apparently somehow managed to completely avoid the JP version, and according to my wishlist I added the EN one back in October last year.I'm assuming my language settings filtered it out. I can't see it even going by developer.
>>4542746https://store.steampowered.com/app/3000960/__The_Novel_Game/
>>4542663Hidden and ignored, I fucking loath devs who shows they have their fans in the ass making that shitty harem lead game canon now like that adn enforcing it even more.>>4542643So the fans won with devs here seeing this result?
>>4542750>the fans wonI guess? Squeenix definitely course corrected hard. Just a shame that you still have to play Double Exposure for it to make any sense.
>>4542752>Just a shame that you still have to play Double Exposure for it to make any sense.I still have to finish it before starting a new one cause it would bug me otherwise.
>>4542748Thanks! Fancier description I see. And looking at the dev it does seem like steam auto-filters it for me.Dunno why they made them separate versions, but I noticed the JP version allows you to buy the soundtrack as DLC but not the global version. Which also looks like it can be separately bought anyway. Same price as well.So odd. Try steam support and see if they'll let you refund imo.
>>4542755Yeah, I'll try it when I get back home.I've always had a good experience with them, remember getting a refund for the first Mary Skelter when they announced Finale (iirc) and that it was gonna come with the first game included.I had more than 2 hours played at the time.
>>4542757>willingly playing a het game>refund it for another het gameThey should have refused your refund.
>>45427572, not Finale. Finale only had the dialogue scenes from the first two games.
>>4542762Yeah, that.
>>4542706Thought it was because there was sudden het, not that the girls have literally no romance between each others.
>>4542769It doesn't have any sudden het. The schizo has a hard on against this game, pay him no mind.
>>4542777So what does it have since you played it?
>>4542744>we'll bang, ok?Grand edit. Had a good chuckle. Thanks for that.
>>4542782NTA but I can vouch for it not having yuri, at best you could argue for strong subtext and that's mostly with 2 couples and towards the end of the game (not counting bad endings)
>>4542797Right, it's subtext yuri
>>4542663>port shitty gacha to consoles, remove the dates>add the gacha characters to BR2>censor the games for modern audiences who is this game made for? mel?Ray wasn't even good, so im not going to pretend to care about it being turned into a game either
>>4542702I'm in...i really wish, in my more insane dreams, that Twilight Syndrome games would get ported and translated to Steam somehow.
>>4542806I wanted the first game on Switch (2) so yeah, cool I guess.
>>4542702We have Otherside Picnic at home.
>>4542663Would it have really killed them to at least remove the moid?
Free doujin VN about Kaguya and Ulalaka from Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma post-marriage. Japanese only: https://kanisanchi.booth.pm/items/8135398
>>4542814Surprisingly well drawn.
>>4542777I literally never said it has had you retard. I said it doesn't have yuri. At least learn to read before you shill a non-yuri game.
>>4542804It's not even subtext.
>>4542814That reminds me of that Life is Strange dating sim VN. Or the Resident Evil yuri dating sim. I love it when fans do stuff like that for no reason.It's especially funny because GoA already has canon yuri romance and marriage. This artist must have really loved this pairing. Thanks for the share anon!
>>4542807Calm down. We don't even know if the game will be yuri yet.>>4542813The absolute bare minmum to save face for them would have been to replace the male shitface with a female protag. Make it a yuri harem game like BR2. But they can't even do that, so let's just ignore this shitshow.
>>4542822And we don't know if the game won't have any yuri. This game is in a funny state. And it's perfectly fine to express excitement.
>>4542825We had enough idiots fall on their face hyping up games as yuri just because there are two females on screen together before (Ex Voto being a dishonorable recent example). It's more reasonable to be cautious.Then again, we got one moron here who intentionally shills ManoSaba despite knowing it has no yuri, simply because he knows it will annoy people. Even though we got Shuten Order which is an actual yuri game with the same themes and quality as both of these games.
>>4542825No. Not yuri. I personally don't like it so it's definitely not going to be yuri.
>>4542829>We had enough idiots fall on their faceYes, and there will be many more in the future. We all faceplanted at some point. You probably did too. Doesn't it seem like a fun gamble on reality? Isn't it fun to still have fantasies and dreams?
>>4542831Why are you creating a false dichotomy where pretending things are yuri without confirmation is the only way to have fantasiea and dreams? I can get plenty hyped about the dozens of upcoming confirmed yuri games, thanks.
>>4542830They don't look the least bit gay to you? My gaydar is tingling with that kind of pairing set-up. Long blonde and short brown hair. It has been like the yuri staple for the last few year. If they don't hold-hands at one point I'd completely bamboozled.
>>4542833You are replying to a troll who is trying to very badly ape me by pretending I just dismiss games because I don't like them instead of because of them not having yuri. Please gain some basic awareness...
>>4542832Okai fair, that might be a misunderstanding. That was not my intention. Definitely go ahead and have so many fantasies, dreams and hopefully arts and crafts-y passionate-related things concerning the 100% confirmed yuri games. I only wish to increase the excitement to possibilities.
>>4542834Really? I took this more as a joke. A jib. Sarcasm, as you will.
>>4542835I'm just cautioning against people who immediately go "this is the best yuri game ever made for sure, I will buy 10 copies of it!" before even having a single confirmation it has yuri in it.At least you are better than the idiotic "subtext"fags who will literally lie about yuri subtext being in already released games just to shill them.
>>4542837Don't we all yearn for more yuri? Confirmed or not?
>>4542806>censor itBR2 was already censored. They arent changing anything.But there was a glimpse of a better timeline here. There could have been the slightest redemption. If the male protag had been replaced by a female protag this would have actually made this Quartet thing have some real value>make a Ray game (the anime was pretty gay)>which leads into BR2 which now has even more heroines from the gacha for Ao to rizz up>which concludes with the now yurified gacha I would have almost been able to forgive Mel Kishida for existing anywhere near this franchise, but I guess even that was pipe dream.
>>4542822The related game is Signalis on muh Steam lmaoThat said i just want the Twilight Syndrome titles translated, girls exploring Lovecraftian/Folklore/Unknown is my jam.
>>4542848Cool... but those games aren't yuri either, are they?
>>4542848>Lovecraftian themed yuriWe absolutely and definitely need more of that.
>>4540749Asking like that makes you look like a mentally stunted retard, but at least you shared something promising. I looked into it, but the dev is being very secretive about almost everything in this game. I guess it is a detective story, so you want to avoid spoiling too much. An all female cast with such dynamics is pretty good grounds for some spicy yuri though. Kinda like that London yuri detective game that came out recently, except hopefully not as mediocre.
>>4542850That's not what he wrote. Apparently he seems to be fine if it's not yuri.
>>4542852But you do agree we need more Lovecraftian themed yuri, don't you? I don't know anything about the Twilight Syndrome game series but all there is on first glance are girls uncovering mysteries together. I doubt it contains explicit scenes between the girls or actual love declarations but I also can't read moon-moon and some of the scenes look pretty cute. However, imagine a proper graphic renewal with a decent translation where one girl always exclusively clings closer to one girl holding the flashlight than the other one in the group? Maybe even some jealousy messing about? I can see the appeal.
>>4542855I watched several video essays on the games that went through the whole story and no, these games have no yuri.
>>4542856Shame, maybe in the next or similar one.
>>4542852I don't they are het either.
Does urban dissolution center has any yuri?Because that game looks so fucking good if we are talking about the whole 'chicks exploring supernatural shit' theme.
Got through the Vampdoll prologue. It's pretty high quality. It has these fancy character profiles and all.Don't like the mouth movements though, one thing if it's synced, but the spam is weird.Also no instant text, even at max speed, sometimes it comes out sentence by sentence. Minor annoyance
>>4542912You "don't that", huh? If I can decipher this brain fart correctly, you are trying to insinuate that the Twilight Syndrome games aren't het? Too bad, the girls in it are the bog standard every girls, which means they talk about wanting boyfriends etc. There is a whole side-plot in one of the games about one of the girls trying to get with her male crush and spooky stuff gets in the way.Even if the series was entirely devoid of het romance or implications, that would not make it on topic. I'm tired of having to remind you crossboarders that this is the yuri board...
>>4542914I remember playing like 1 demo episode, It had none, not even hooks or subtext. Though the full game has 6 episodes so who knows. There us surprising ammount of yuri art of Jasmine and MC
>>4542914This was discussed before and apparently it does not. I think one anon claimed there was a super irrelevant side-quest that has the tiniest sliver of yuri subtext, but the game has none.And it's not even a very good game in general.
>>4542915Yeah I played the demo and the translation is really solid. >mouth movementsLip flaps are rarely any good in VNs. Once you pay attention to them it only gets worse. Better to keep it out of your mind.
>Girls investigating Lovecraftslop?Just roll World Of Horror with any female character and get Kana as the sidekick.
>>4542914It's not yuri but you will ship the main characters by the end. If you're into Otherside Picnic I recommend it since it even has some of the same urban myths like the other world and the kotoribako.
>>4542920>the translation is really solid.I mean solid. But I wouldn't say really solid. Typos aside, there are some parts that just read awkwardly.For the most part they read fine. But it could definitely be better.Also I don't know if it's a typo or not, but I think the team/group is supposed to be Carnage not Carnag right? So either the store description is wrong, or the in game description is.>Once you pay attention to them it only gets worse. Better to keep it out of your mind.Fortunately for the most part I read VNs like I read books, I mainly focus on the text, otherwise it'll definitely drive me crazy.
>>4542967I guess my standards lowered considerably after all the horrible chinese game translations I endured over the last two years. Fan translations really always were the best.
>>4542921>Just roll World Of Horror with any female characterMoriko is explicitly a lesbian playable character too.
>>4542972Yeah.Also I'm going through ep1 and they have the typical she = he nonsense.And that part in the onsen where I can't tell they fucked up the negation or what.But it's mostly fine imo, which is what makes the errors all the more jarring.That aside, it does have a lot of nice features in it. it has a lot of nice things not directly related to being a vn, like being able to lock saves, or saving your favorite voicelines.Wish they have vsync or fps lock though, my gpu runs hot.As for the story, I'm hooked so far. It's seeming to be meatier than I expected. We'll see if it holds.
>>4542980There are like 8 doujins released by the artist beforehand, so they certainly had a lot planned out.
>>4542981Well, I was expecting more SoL and less plot. Though what I want is plot so that's a good thing.Also the only Vampdoll chapter translated was almost completely SoL so...
>>4542921The last time I played that, I ran as Detective Lieutenant Columbo. Love how modable the game is
>>4542988Ugh at least tell me you played a female "Columbo".
>>4542690You tell me
>>4542851>that London yuri detective game that came out recently, except hopefully not as mediocreThis one?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3725910/London_Echoes_of_the_Past/You wont believe this, but after the pretty mid to negative reception of the plot and execution... the dev of this game completely rewrote the entire thing. Added more perspectives, changed plot points and character interactions, elaborated on backstories, added clues and bad endings.It went from having Mixed reviews to Very Positive reviews.I frankly haven't seen anything of the like before, at least when it concerns a VN.
>>4542996Went from blue to green, but nothing much changed, huh?
>>4542998A dev listening to feedback? That's rare.
>>4543010I just saw Square fucking Enix listen to user feedback and actually (sort of) give them what they want, even if it was just stupid pandering. Cats and dogs living together etc. etc.
>>4543011Meanwhile Mel Kishida’s head is buried in the sand, fingers in his ears as he screams “LALALALALALA.”
>>4543080https://automaton-media.com/articles/interviewsjp/blue-reflection-quartet-20260327-432743/tl;dr: He acknowledges people hate the male MC so this version is reducing his role and focusing more on the interactions between the girls themselves. But yeah, it's still too much of a hack job to outright remove him or add a feMC option.
>>4543088Literally all they had to do was not include Sun. Just pretend it never happened. It’s not like it was some huge success or remotely popular, and mobile gachas already have enough of a stigma among console gamers even when they don’t completely miss the mark on what makes the IP they’re based on popular, so nobody would have questioned its absence in a console collection. The only reason to include it at all is sheer, bloodyminded devotion to the male protagonist.
>>4542921>>4542977>>4542988I adore that game, i'm super happy that the dev decided to come back to it and is gonna get a new update, with a new scenario and a new character.
>>4543092probably believes in lesbian correction
>>4543107I do too. Correct the world by making all life in the universe lesbians.
>>4543088There's a prior interview with Mel linked at the top. Between both of them he sounds delusional.>admits he thought sun shutting down was the end of the series for good>acknowledges people didn't like sun mc>in the face of all this insists there's still some audience that really likes sun mc so he has to be carried forward for them>thinks sun mc can be tweaked to work for fans of the other games by reducing his presence and interactions with the girls while also expanding on why he has to existSounds like a solid plan to appeal to nobody.
>>4543108Homo-Homu.
>>4543111And making the MC gender select but canonically female didn't enter his mind?
>>4543115Like I'm sure the guy got like 2 emails about him being a good thing and that was enough. But no one around him was like "boss that's wrong, the numbers show that no one likes him" he's not Kojima, a CG cannot carry this much fucking weight on the series
>>4543115Even after Sun shut down all he seems willing to budge on is mild rewrites so I don't think replacing the MC altogether has crossed his mind a single time. He's fixated on a male MC specifically and talked about it at length in older interviews,
is this yuri or not?https://store.steampowered.com/app/4223130/Lilac/
>>4543131>BushiroadBest we can offer is subtext
>>4543132They do have a nice set-up for side-characters, ngl. Their shenanigans in the Backrooms will be legendary.
>>4543131>Selling male/female separatelySo it's cheaper than usual or?It sounds like a good idea, but it also sounds like you're being scammed.
>>4543136Devs. Your spacebar. Use it.
>>4543131It literally says it's a story about friendship anon...
>>4543177It's a typographical spacing issue, trying to fix it manually with the spacebar would just make it worse.
>>4543111>why he has to existThe sheer delusion is almost awe inspiring. There literally is not reason a male MC needs to exist in this series. He has been caliming otherwise for the entire time and has never once explained this supposed reason. He also failed to mention why every girl need get into ecchi scenarios with him and several of them have to be crushing on him. I am sure that is also essential to his deep narrative relevance.Fuck this guy.
>>4543179It would at least be a bandaid fix. But yes, they need to increase the spacing between words. Even Open Office's Word rip-off can do that.
>>4543111>>4543180>We're getting more Blue Reflection when this is the guy in charge instead of more Nights of AzureGust what the fuck?
Finished Vampdoll. 3.8 hours according to steam, though keep in mind I basically read it like a book, i.e. skipping the VOs for the most part. I think it'll probably be 6-8 hours if you listen to everything.VN part is fine, but the character introduction screen is a little laggy, and buggy? When you click around the various voices thing, it seems like it does nothing and the text and voices come out a little late. Though that's also the same for saving, you click, then wait a few seconds for something to actually happen.Going back to the char screen, I also don't know if I'm doing it wrong, unlikely imo, or it's just buggy, but when you change costumes, there is no rhyme or reason, Logically you assume it'll cycle through them all, since there is only one button, but you can just click it and nothing happens, maybe it's related to the lag thing I mentioned above come to think of it.As for the story. It hooked me in, at least I wanted to keep reading it so that's good. Chapter 2 is great. Chapter 3-4, because 4 is so short and it follows on from C3 anyway, is good. Might be a translation issue but I feel Ao's "death" scene could have been done better. Probably.But uh... yeah, I'll like more. It's short and sweet, but I'll rather it be long and sweet. Then again it's well-paced so it's probably good it isn't dragged out.
>>4543185Can you stop crying about Nights of Azure already? it wasn't successful, the team moved on centuries ago and there is basically no fanbase left to care. Mel Kishida's self-insert fanfic keeps existing and burning Ryze money, because he is personally obssessed. Nobody felt that strongly about Night of Azure, ever.
>>4543189Skipping the voice acting is basically skipping 25% of the appeal of this work desu. Did you also skip the opening movie or something?>but I'll rather it be long and sweetAs mentioned before, the VN is just one part of the universe. They even show you the doujins, Drama CDs and LN in the extra menu. Unforutnately it's not like any of these were translated.
>>4543194
>>4543195>voice dorama
>>4543194I'm just impatient. Though I do listen to some of the good ones. I just honestly don't care about most of them.It stands well on it's own anyway.Btw, one of my favorite if not the favorite VN is Seabed so...>Did you also skip the opening movie or something?Not the first time.>Unforutnately it's not like any of these were translated.And that's the kicker isn't it. At least one chapter of the manga is, I looked at it before purchasing the VN.But well, I want to see more of the Ao thing. It sounds like there is some good drama there. Chapter 2 is the best part here imo, so it sounds like the Ao thing is another variation of that.
>>4543213Oh sure, you would also skip the voicelines in anime if you could, right? >the Ao thingYes, the extended media mostly focuses on Ao and Ibuki, while the VN focuses on Sana and Yukine.
>>4543185Make sure to keep bringing up Nights of Azure every time Blue Reflection diarrhea is spewed onto this thread.
>>4543229They have nothing to do with each other and the retard just keeps mentioning it's not continuing, which adds nothing either. You just want to troll, as usual.
How nice to have an experienced lesbian around who is openly banging her teammate/girlfriend.
>>4542814Honestly my fav pairing in the game. I haven't really looked at the romance trophies, but my guess is that the top female love interests are Ulalaka, Hina and Kaguya herself (yes I know she is only available to maleC for obvious reasons, I hate it too).
Wasn't there an anon asking for yuri racing games? Well this ain't it, but it does have a lesbian couple in the main cast apparently:https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/
>>4543310do i have to play as the boring male?
>>4543191>Nobody felt that strongly about Night of Azure, ever.I did and I always will.>>4543233Them being Gust properties with a dedicated yuri fanbase is enough of a relation. And since one betrayed the core fanbase while the other didn't, it's natural one would get brought up in discussion of the other sooner or later.
>>4543223I don't skip cutscenes, but... if they are just standing around talking and doing nothing, I wouldn't say I wouldn't.One of the reasons I favor manga over anime, I can consume it faster. That and it's a bitch for me to torrent atm, I think I'll need a vpn for it.
>>4543317You might have ADHD...
>>4543315It's an ensemble cast. You basically have 5 different racing teams all with their own stories that add up to the full picture. I guess technically anime guy McProtagonistface is probably the closest to the "main" character here, but I think that's a bit reductive. You can play all 21 characters.It's why I said it's not a yuri game. There is a lesbian couple but that's not the focus of the game. But it's nice to have. Pretty sure outside of story mode you can also just drive exclusively with the lesbians in multiplayer or arcade mode if you wanna.I just think it's a neat game that isn't just a generic racer. It's actually trying to be story focused and varies objectives and playstyles completely by whatever is currently happening in the story. It's not just about winning a race.
>>4543293That artist is one who's stayed true to yuri all this time.
>>4543341And to her vampirism fetish.
>>4541340>I don't know if they should be listed separatelyI think it's fine to keep them listed together. They fill the same niche and one is sort of the other's spiritual successor. >Also the paste doesn't usually add download links for pirated versions unless there is no official release to buy, right?Hmm. Well, we got several links to rom and iso sites for a reason. I want the list to be all-inclusive, both for people who want to mod games they bought and for those who pirate games. The goal here is to increase the amount of yuri people can enjoy. Disadvantaging people who are not financially able to pay for this overpriced hobby would be against the spirit of the paste to me.That being said we should be conservative about the usage of space so it would be counterproductive to add download links for every individual game. rentry has a 200k character limit, so we may eventually run out if we overdo it.
>>4543335Which ones are the couple?
>>4543233Why are you assuming everyone interested in Nights of Azure is a single poster?That game does have fans, just not enough to keep the series alive because non-VN yuri games tend to have this problem which is why many of them end up compromising by having bisexual romance option or having it stay subtext.
>>4543366Idiot. The guy who repeatedly said the same thing in the same convo was the same poster. It's called basic reading comprehension. I didn't say there was just a single Night of Azure fan.>by having it stay subtextThis is literal nonsense, because it doesn't increase your fanbase whatsoever. A game that is clearly for yurifags with heavy subtext repels hetshitters the same way a full yuri game would, with the downside of the yurifags being annoyed or even rejecitng the bait.Night of Azure was just a small budget title that was not invested into much and only got a niche underground audience. This happens to similar het works all the time. Not all games can get popular and budget games especially rarely break into the mainstream.
>>4543368Except I'm the person who brought up Nights of Azure after never mentioning it once on /u/ before this and you just immediately assumed I was some anon you'd made up in your head so fuck off with that "reading comprehension"
>>4543369Are you a fucking moron? The same convo means this fucking thread, this fucking convo. You repeated the same shit three times. The fact that you think I am talking about other threads or other convos proves that you can in fact not read. Serious brain sieve behaviour...
which one has f/f humiliation?
>>4543403Your life LMAO
>>4543374The fuck are you even talking about? He's only brought up NoA once, while two others brought it up, one of which was just egging the other on. The first poster to bring it up here was >>4541365, which is me.
>>4543509Realized you can't hide it, so you admitted yourself that you posted all of these, huh? But then you cowarded out and pretended it was someone else anyway.
>>4543536NTA, take your meds. You are not even half as clever as you think you are.
>>4542460>>4542463>>4542490The reveal trailer had Female (Belter) MC.
>>4543554Nice
>>4543554>Belter>wasn't a lanklet freakBoring
>>4543369>Tfw MahoAko is so trashy it got banned from TvTropes
>>4543649Take this to the general discussion thread. It's not relevant to video-games.
Even in the grimdark alternate past of goth Avalon, lesbian smut is still a shining light in the darkness.Unfortunately this Lililiana series of smut novels goes across all genres, if you catch my drift. Still a nice find. And on the upside, none of the other novels I found feature the other party in the art. The Marquise here is the first who gets to appear with Liliana.
>>4543554>>4543616I'm going to take a wild guess here and predict that the game will start with a tutorial in which you select one of three origin character paths (Earth, Mars or Belt). The mission goes horrible wrong following linear path for their respective origin. On this path you will lose the other two at the end of the mission (they might even get converted into the crystallised Boss-Versions of themselves at the end of the game in addition to their respective class).Throughout the game you will be henceforth called by your origin name "Belter, Martian/Duster or Earther/Inners/Slav".
>>4543678King Arthur is the reincarnated Fore-dweller prince and his mother is the source of the red death. At the end you can revive him, revive him as said prince, kill his soul and become king or kill his soul and make someone else king.
>>4543678>Marquise de>Baisede Sade would have been to obvious and de Basier to NewGen.
>>4543681Ok? What does that have to do with lesbian smut?>>4543683Ah the French.
>>4543678That certainly beats the Lusty Argonian Maid.
>>4543680I believe they already said the game starts with (You) and your twin as security mercsAnd when your merc group does something EVIL, (You) two steal the experimental ship Gemini and bail on the shitshow
>>4543731Certainly. As the cloudy orb foretold earlier. It also seemed to announce that a beta starts in April on the 22th.
>>4543731>>4543752Isn't the game also gonna involve whatever happened on Eros station?
>>4543752Isn't this a single-player RPG a la mass effect or the something? Why is it having a beta (that needs announcing and isn't just completely closed)?I fucking hate this EA, beta, etc etc bullshit nowadays. Wait until your game is done and then fucking release it already. At least if it's like a multiplayer game or something that can do bite-sized content updates like a roguelike or whatever, I can kinda get why they have it.
>>4543758Maybe they are stress testing system requirements in general. Currently this game has Win10 as the bare minimum. It could also be low effort money farming.
>>4543758>>4543763Owlcat always does that. Has been since Wrath of the Righteous at least. Dark Heresy recently had its playable Alpha.
>>4543758>I fucking hate this EA, beta, etc etc bullshit nowadays. Wait until your game is done and then fucking release it already.or you could just wait for the full release, so the result is exactly the same nobody forces you to take part in the development process just because you have the option to
Aether and Iron doesn't have yuri btw. For those anons who were wondering about it last thread. Apparently the dev is a homophobe who pretends that because the game takes place in the 1930s it shouldn't have any LGBT characters. Dumbshit.
PSA to download whatever yuri/yuri-adjacent games from Myrient you can for the next 9 or so hours.
>>4543958Reason being? They are shitting the site down or something?
>>4543961NTA, but it looks like they are actively shutting down as of today instead of simply packing their stuff and moving to another website.
>>4543963Rough... means we only get the archive and torrents for a full database now. Although Retrogametalk/CDromance also has a lot of the translations on it still.
>>4543958Any examples of what to download? Aside from the stuff that is in the translation paste I mean.There is that Utena game for the Sega Saturn I think.
>>4543961>>4543963Blame AI datacenters blowing up the cost of maintaining the site.Fortunately there's a backup site in the works called Minerva. Unfortunately it will allegedly be torrents only, so if what you want isn't seeded, then you'll be SoL.
>>4543967There is nothing this shitty AI plague won't destroy. Using up the energy recquired to fule an entire city and destroying the same amount of fresh water just to cool them. And then they drive up prices for site maintenace too? All so some idiots can ask a brainless LLM to tell them how to cook pasta or make them a shitty generated image.
>>4543968>how to cook pastaTell it the pot only has an opening on the bottom and not at the top and it will gaslight you into believing the Flying Spaghetti Monster is real and should be summoned for emotional support on this quite difficult endeavour. Source: Trust me
>>4543966>that Utena game for the Sega SaturnAw yeah, mid 90s Mahoako!
>>4543972Unlike that softcore porn trash, Revolutionary Girl Utena was actually a good story with value.
>>4543973>has malesnah.
>>4543979>Mahoako is made for horny males
>>4543980>and horny lesbians>and horny inbitweens
>>4543981It's your fault for bringing up that trash where it doesn't belong.
>>4543966There are honestly not that many retro games with yuri that got fan translations, so there isn't much worth downloading that I'm aware of.The stuff that got translated usually has other sources than Myrient too, so there is no need to panic right now.
>>4543982>where it doesn't belongYet. Hold on, sis, I have a divine prophecy to make. When the final episode of S2 on live tv aired there will be MahoAko gameplay teaser. The rest is too cloudy. I can't see much more. The signal is fading.
>>4543985You should stop listening to the voices in your head.
>>4543988Tell them to stop talking to me and we have a deal. Until then there are many yuri fantasies that need to be observed into existence.
Are there any good yuri games with rape?
>>4543994Yuri games? No. Because people who make yuri have better taste than that.Games with optional/selectable yuri? Sure. Try Degress of Lewdity. Freak.
Rumors of Persona 6 have began to surface. For those that forgot, P5 was released 10 years agoI’m not expecting anything but it feels nice to dream there might be a 1 in quintillion chance for a female mc option
>>4544010Even on the off chance that Atlus for once actually delivered what fans ask for, there is no way they would add yuri romance options. They will just do het SLs for femC too.
>>4544012At least it would be easier to mod than creating a femC from scratch like on P3R or P5R.
>>4544012>3+ years between P5 announce and release>3+ years between console and PC>wait for mods>wait for a steep discount because why would I pull full price for a game that dont natively support usVery excited to play modded Personal 6 in 2035 and make our heroine date the student body president
>>4544055>2035>our heroine dates the student body presidentI will hold you to that. You are henceforth solely responsible for the modding part. As of now you should already be in contact with your possible work boddies for the future soon-to-be-announced PS6 fanclub. So Chop Chop.You could be knees deep in delicious yuri code atm.
>>4544010>trusting AtlusIt'll be yet another P4 rererereremake.
>>4544010>thought about it for p5>worked on it a bit>scrapped>thought about it for p3r>worked on it a bit>scrapped>surely they'll deliver THIS timeI'll believe it when i see it.
>>4544058The current P4 remake isnt even out yet, but was already announced-
>>4543947Bad enough that they lie about their reasons, but making the excuse this stupid is really overwhelmingly pathetic. Blacklisted the dev.
>>4544010if they don't even bother doing it for P3R, what makes you think they're going to do another one from scratch? stockholm syndrome
>>4544246That argument makes little sense. P3R was on a super time crunch and they didn't get time from Sega to add everything they wanted. You'd expect P6 and its 10 years of development to have enough time to do it. This time it will entirely depend on whether they actually want to do it or not.They won't of course, but your reasoning is just bad.
>>4544326>P3R was on a super time crunch and they didn't get time from Sega to add everything they wanted.You're making a lot of assumptions on their part. The only FeMC content that really goes outside the scope of vanilla P3 content would have been the Inaba trip which they could have fudged if it really came down to it.The simplest answer is that someone in charge doesn't want it.
>>4544349That's total nonsense. Anime cutscenes, models, animations, voice acting, extra uniqie SLs.... All of that is a huge effort. There is a reason the mod team has mostly focused on visuals. The rest is the most work, because Kotone wasnt just a model swap. It's also bit a fucking assumptiom, they literally cited time crunch as the reason they didnt add femC.
>>4543994"good" yuri game with rape? It's rare to get a good yuri game to start with. I can give you some game with mainly yuri rape if that's what you want. Phantom Thief Mew, for example.
Imagine making up excuses for not adding content that already exists for a fucking 0 effort remake.
>>4543194I know Japanese, where do I get this
>>4544397Dunno, probably DLsite or Melonbooks. You can follow Saku Takano on her social media. I'm sure she links to her stuff.
https://x.com/gamedev_n/status/2039390866511679804
>>4544357>All of that is a huge effortits a remake of a 20 year old game (15 for p3p), that's their job. It's a lot of work, but that's what theyre being paid to do. It's like forgiving ORAS for not having battle frontier because it's a lot of effort to add. It's a modern release, you are expected to be given the definitive experience, i don't know why you people settle for less.>they literally cited time crunch as the reason they didn't add femCwe just blindly believing companies now? Its not a secret that large companies like to tiptoe around these kinds of things, its basic PR. Same reason anime studios use the "up to interpretation" line, when you know damn well it's not>>4544326>10 years of developmentmetaphor was in "development" for 8 years. it really doesn't matter, they're not adding one again, and theyve practically memory holed the last one (or at least they did until the funkopop)
>>4544527What the fuck are you talking about? They remade P3. Not P3P. It's in fact not their job to remake the optional parts of the less popular PSP port. They intended to anyway, but didn't get the time. It really isn't that complicated.>blah blah blah dont trust any corpoI don't give a shit. Your are just throwing around empty platitudes with zero brains. You aren't making a point or say anything, you are just spitballing. If this wasn't text I'd assume you just like the sound of your own voice.>they're not adding one againYes you fucking retard, that is literally what I said. Learn to read before you try to rebuff on instinct.
>>4544357The mod team is focused on visuals because it's the simplest thing to work on with the janky bootleg tools they homebrewed and even that is difficult due to weirdness with models and animations. Other things are slowly being figured out worked on by volunteers. Keep in mind all this effort is only necessary because of the bootleg rigging required for modders to do all this and would have been trivial to do with a full team working from the source.As far as content as it was in P3P her unique social links were mostly made using vanilla assets and unvoiced, her main game content was mostly small dialogue changes.Also last time I checked the official answer was some vague corpo PR speak about how it wasn't the experience they wanted to make and they directed people to play the shitty P3P port instead.
>>4544572What a pointless tangent. You are just repeating what I said, that the visual part was easy, but implementing all the main features of a proper femC route are not.Why are you telling me how P3P worked when we are talking about Reload, in which all of these things would require a lot more effort to implement? That's several extra SLs, fully voiced, with tons of dialogue changes, unique Persona and combat voicelines, new interface changes, rewrites, completely changed ANIME CUTSCENES and so much more. For a route that the majority of people will not even play.>some vague corpo PR speak about how it wasn't the experience they wantedFuck no. The devs said really openly that Sega told them to finish the game within a certain time limit, so they had to prioritize other things. This was a very rushed remake and even getting something like The Answer in required doing DLC. The fact that Atlus said "If you want femC, just play P3P" was just an afterthought when they got backlash.I'm not defending Atlus or Sega, they are the fucking culprits of this issue. But the dev team is really not to blame for the deadlines they were given. When the director said they wanted to include femC but couldn't, I believe them. I don't know if they could have fought more for it, but knowing the dev cycles at Atlus, I doubt there was much they could do.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4092410/Magic_Exposure_2__Yuri_Visual_Novel/?curator_clanid=6864182A sequel to a furry yuri VN. It's still furry.
>>4544574>When the director said they wanted to include femC but couldn't, I believe themAnd they didn't even try in any other games after?
>>4544577...what games after? The Persona team hasn't released anything since P3R. They are currently crunching on P4 remake and apparently finally getting their ass into gear to make P6. P5 Phantom X, that wretched gacha, is run by some C team and outside hires.Before P3R the only new Persona games were low budget P5 spin-offs and Persona Q games (which in fact did feature Kotone).
>>4544574It's not a pointless tangent, you're trying to justify no FeMC in P3R by pointing to the FeMC mod as proof it's too difficult when it's only that difficult for modders who have to make their own tools and hack the game apart. It would have been trivial for Atlus to do it from the start.
>>4544574>but knowing the dev cycles at AtlusThe dev cycle that patiently sat on P5 for 10 years and counting without a proper sequel? They can clearly afford the time.
>>4544578>The Persona team hasn't released anything since P3RDamn, that's borderline Skyrim levels of squeezing the same few games until they're dry.
>>4544010This unfortunately clashes with the Persona series two opposing viewpoints: that the PC is the most awesome and special person on earth, and that women aren't people.
>>4544596No the dev cycle where they shit out remakes and spin-offs without break.
>>4544521wait, that's the dev? with a full stack of yuri manga and even doing an iroha/kaguya doujin?wishlisted.
I don't care about Fursona tbqh, i want a SMT where you can be a girl and be evil.
>>4544623Absolutely based dev.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1588550/Cairn/Wait this super popular climbing game was actually /u/ relevant? The last week has just been full of surprises.
>>4543947>>4544203Link to the dev saying it?I actually already did lose some interest when I saw the gameplay was......turn based highway car battle(?!) but the style was still cool enough for me to be at least a little bit intrigued.
>>4544759Go to the Steam forums and find it yourself. I'm not going back to that shitshow. Either way this game's a lost cause to /u/s now.
>>4544761Well I'm procrastinating on work so I went ahead and found the exchange I assume you're referencingSeems like a pretty chickenshit response but it's not as extreme as you made it out to be and the devs are open for future possibilities, whenever that is.
>>4544762It literally says there is no romance mechanic in the game and that they will conveniently ignore LGBT people exist, because of the nebulous excuse of them not usually being "out".Also the troll who made that discussion thread going like "no woke plz" and the dev desperately trying to pretend that all the political and social issues the game tackles are totally not woke, completely failing to understand that the anti-woke grifters consider all politics that aren't MAGA shit as woke, is just is the cherry on top. Catering to these morons is always a losing game.
>>4544765I think you're blowing this out of proportion. And a lot of countries at the time had being gay as a criminal offense, that's a fact.
>>4544765If the game has no romance mechanic to start with, why the hell are you even trying to start shit over this? Let the dev do their game.
>>4544818Not the fucking USA or New York City, the fucking setting of this game. It's well known that the 30s in the US had a lot of well known LGBT figures. And none of that justifies not having these characters in your story. What the fuck does being "out" have to do with them being in the story? You think gay people stop existing just because you are pretending they aren't? As if homophobia somehow stopped gay characters from appearing in a story.Even more retarded when you remember this is a SCI-FI fantasy version of the 1930s you dumbfuck.>>4544822>if there is no romance in the game it's actually fine to be anit-LGBT and there is nothing wrong with the devAre you fucked in the head? No, you are clearly trying to change goalposts. It's really obvious. The initial comment simply warned people there was no yuri in the game and that the dev is catering to the anti-LGBT fags. Nobody "started shit" over this, the fucking post was a pretty straightforward warning for those who were interested in the game.The only shit being started here is you, clearl samefagging, trying to defend the dev for no reason.
>>4544825>clearly samefaggingokay, mentally ill schizo. Try posting about yuri games next time.
>>4544826>bait this obviousMask off.
>>4544010Speaking of Persona, the new gacha update started heavily pushing female Junpei with the new girl for some reason. She even digivovled to save her
>>4544886I assume this is just to set up some kind of palace arc and will be dropped the moment they solve the problem.
>>4540346>Steam Next Fest confirmed yuri titlesThis one was also confirmed to be yuri recently.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4017820/The_Angels_Devil_Tail__One_More_Question_2/>Hero of Sunset (yuri RPGmaker game, 5 romance options)Also it might be worth pointing out that it's not using the standard RPGmaker engine, but one of the action plug-ins being sold, so it plays like pixel action game, not a turn based RPG.The 5 love interests are also pretty nice, but having a knife ear protagonist is a hard sell.
>>4544903Most likely. It seems like a Chie Yukiko angle probably https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsW2vewhNNo
>>4544913I hate it when Jap games set up yuribait pairings and then go "they are just good friends" and forget all about all the ship set-up they did.
>>4544706>Wait this super popular climbing game was actually /u/ relevant?How so?
>>4544906I'll forgive the elf glazing because one of the LIs is a cute deer girl.
>>4544964Female protagonist whose relationship with a female character plays a part in the story.
>>4544964>>4544968Which anon got from the Hella Yuri curator review.
>>4544968>>4544969That's a wishlist then. I really enjoyed their previous games. Furi especially.I wanted to like Haven, but it was an aggressively het game. I wish there was a way to turn it into a yuri game.
>>4544997I will ignore the bait you tacked on there at the end and agree that this game seems promising. And the fact that the protag gender isn't selectable gives the yuri a bit more weight. Atmospheric exploration games and yuri is a good combination we need more of.
>>4540347Now that myrient is down, the amiibo link doesn't work anymore. Any other place where you can get the amiibo data for Nintendo emulators?
>>4544997You won't believe this...
>>4545127>Witch Trials is a great study caseit's really not, the only reason some anons here pin their hopes on games like it or silksong or that recent super-hero game or whatever else is simply that they have good production values and are possibly goggle-able, that's all there is to it, yurifags are starved for games like thosesame reason anons resort to watching subtext anime if even that, sometimes you give up on a good experience to at least get real yuri, and sometimes you give up on real yuri to at least get a good experience, it's just very rare to get both
>>4545144It's crazy to see one troll give contra to another troll by challenging their bait with other bait. Why can't you /v/tards do this theater on your home board?
>>4545151>Only a handful of anons actually ever talk about the games they play.I want to talk about that great yuri game recently released but it's a bit controversial here and any discussion involve heavy spoiler of a story-based game. Plus I haven't yet had the time to explore all endings, maybe then I will make a more complete post. Still from what I played it is great, both gameplay, story and atmosphere-wise. It's really faithful to the original while adding small things keeping it fresh.Sadly it seems to have released at a slightly inconvenient time. Since Ave Mujica and HatsuSaki is kinda popular I though it could have ridden its cottails
We seem to be missing a cute fluffy game where nobody dies.
>>4545250It's called Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
>>4545255Where's the yuri in there?
>>4545265Because this remake is aimed at mainstream audiences, as show buy its insane focus on combat (to the point where it incorporated a stamina bar which works as super armor, ammo for special shots and stamina) so incest, let alone gay incest, is a big no no.
>>4545268*as show buyAs shown by Fuck me, I'm drunk or something.
>>4545136NO FREAKING WAY
>>4545268>mainstream>inest is a big no-noI think you are misunderstanding what the Japanese mainstream is all about lolJoking aside though, it's not like FF2 was ever really yuri or had real incest, so they didn't need to cut it down even harder...
>>4545277>the Japanese mainstream is all about lolNo Japanese game sans some visual novels has as target audience the Japanese audience.Now they're completely dependent on worldwide audiences, for good and for ill. >Choose Body Type A or Body Type B
>>4545278>pretending the domestic market just doesn't existSheesh did the schizo infect you with whatever he has? >legit being offended by the Body Type memeWho gives a shit? You got eyes. The male and female options are easy to tell and when gendered terms are being used they still use the standard he/she dichotomy. Considering this shit only happens with maximum self-insert games in which the protagonist is made from pure cardboard, it matters even less. Japs have found reasons to use idenitcal scripts on both protags for less.
Shadowverse is shutting down in a few months. I guess it was inevitable with the sequel having been around for a year. I will miss my yuri decks.The new one has not such great reviews so I will probably never try it.
>>4545290For what's it worth, new one still has gay cards, I suppose if you cared for the game, the reviews are mostly about it being p2w, which it is, so yeah don't bother then.
>>4545279>pretending the domestic market just doesn't existIt doesn't. Nips prefer to just play gacha. My point about Body types was to illustrate an example of how western preferences are the ones that lead Japanese game design. Even a Japanese institution like Dragon Quest uses them.
>>4545306Collecting gay cards is nice, but I kinda also want to enjoy the game. I never considered Shadowverse P2W, but even there I have seen people complain about how they cant make decks without paying, which I always found odd. I guess you need to invest some time in the story mode and challenges and pull lots of free packs before you can comfortably recycle decks. Maybe Beyond is much the same way?
>>4545308This is a gross bit of misinformation you are spreading there... basically half of all Japs own a Switch or Switch 2. A large chunk owns the PS5. They are not using them to play gacha games believe it or not. Obviously any game dev who wants to make a profit should look at the global market, but Japs play video-games. Stop acting dense.>western preferencesMy historically uneducated guy, I don't know how to break this to you, but lots of retro games used to have a "Player A/Player B" selection or an equivalent to it. This used to be pretty common in both Western and Japanese games. It's obviously not the standard, but it happens. And it continues to be not the standard as 99% of current JRPGs do not use Body Type selections.
>>4545309I believe this one is the real deal, it's "playable" as f2p, but more unforgiving than the original. I'd recommend you give it a shot and at least check the gay cards and their flavor text and see if it doesn't click for you, it's f2p, so why not.
>DA:O >ME3 (by way of just repaying the whole game in LE and with mods)>Andromeda >Finish Horizon Burning Shore >Replay BG3Accumulating so many unfinished games over the years is seriously causing choice paralysis.
>>4545316It's a nice problem to have in my opinion. That's a lot of good games. I recommend making a ordered list and sticking to it so you can actually finish them off one by one.
>>4540672Is there anything actually wrong with the Tristia series, or is it just the one anon who constantly spergs out about subtext doing their usual bit?
Let's try a less depressing topic for once: which upcoming games are you actually looking forward to, /u/?Mines would be:>Fate/EXTRA Record>Ever Maiden (translation)>WataMari 2>Rabi Ribi 2>Majestia
>>4545316Burning Shore isn't all that long so you should probably finish that.
>>4545335If anything you are baiting by now. Just look it up if you are this ignorant even though you were literally told what's wrong with it...
>>454538515 hours is pretty good for a DLC at least. Especially now that it's bundled into the game.
>>4545384>yuri I'm looking forward toNightmare OperatorHell MaidenMonophobia>could maybe possibly be yuri if the devs don't fumbleAbyss X Zero
>>4545384If you didn't want it to be depressing why bring 2 games that will never come out?That aside I constantly mention what games I'm looking forard to, so it would just be repetitive. A more interesting question is what yuri games everyone is playing right now.I'm playing Tainted Grail, that stupid Athurian goth game, but didn't reach the romance option yet. I'm also playing Sacred Earth, but it's kinda annoying to play, because the bosses are super unbalanced, so I constantly get roadblocked. The character interactions are cute and gay though.I beat Demong Queen's Dilemma last week. I didn't like the writing very much, but it was cute, so it's fine.
>>4545268>>4545277Because Game of Thrones and all the rapant incest in it isn't absolutely mainstream.
>>4545398The main difference being is that aristocratic incest is a well known historical thing and is generally considered gross. While Japanese incest is trying to make the audience think it's hot or "relatable" (that's the most horrific part).Of course there is nothing wrong with yuri incest. Let's not get those mixed up.
>>4545399>and is generally considered grossYou never looked at the fandom, I see.
>>4545401Perverts will be perverts. But GoT is about the most repulsive people. It's a drama where you watch the most base garbage people do horrible things while the good people get fucked over. That's kinda the point. The incest queen isn't considered a good person you are supposed to support.Now compare that to all the brother-sister incest garbage in Jap media which literally only exist to for lonely otaku who can't imagine talking to a girl that isn't forced to share a house with them because she is related. It's like several layers more pathetic somehow.On the other hand sister-sister incest is almost always portrayed as something pure or at least more elevated in both Western and Japanese media. It lacks the intense sense of wrongness, because two girls can't procreate. And of course twincest is like a soulmates thing that has always been pretty popular across mythology and fiction.
>>4545402>Perverts will be pervertsLike us, yeah. We're just a different kind of pervert. Don't act high and mighty on a red board.
>>4545422I wouldn't care if /u/ was a blue board. I'm not here for the porn. I don't mind sex, it's a natural part of relationships, but I would never play a game for the porn let alone read only smut. There are a lot of perverts here who need to touch grass, but that doesn't mean all of us are brain fried gooners.
>>4545427That's a lot of yapping and denial
>>4545432ok
>>4545399>While Japanese incest is trying to make the audience think it's hot or "relatable"Is it? They always pull the "it's NBR" card.
>>4545468There are pleeeenty of blood related incest stories and porn in Japanese media.
>>4545485Not really. Especially in anime they pull the NBR card a lot.
>>4545495You can just write "nuh-uh" all you want, this is an indisputable fact. There is plenty of blood incest in Japanese media. I'm not gonna start a damn list. If you are so clueless, look it up.
>>4545384GTA6Witcher 4Divinity That's about it as far as real, unreleased games we know.
>>4545485One day, hopefully soon, one of those will be yuri.
>>4545505There is also plenty of blood related yuri incest newfag...
>>4545506Name a few.
>>4545518Just a few threads back we literally had Sisterly Bliss in the OP, you know?
>>4545385I think I'll get back into that right now.Horizon does feel like it takes a while to get back into being comfortable after playing so many "traditional" 3rd person action games.
Speaking of Persona, has that one mod with a female MC unlocked the adult romances? They were locked for some reason.
>>4545556Nope. I don't think the main mod will ever really try to do this either. Maybe someone else will.In the meantime there is this Ann x Shiho mod that makes them actually romance each other. It's also compatible with Rose&Violet for maximum gay.https://gamebanana.com/mods/663550Some crazy person also made a mod to do the whole thing with JP audio, though I don't know how good that is.
>>4545562I guess that was a very specific happening, I even remember people talking about their own made ships of Etrian Odyssey girl teams with no issues a few times, which is about as close as Atlus gets to it.
>>4545578Pic rel
>>4545579To have enough imaginatioin to project yuri onto Etrian Oddyssey is quite the feat. Those anons should get a pass just for the sheer stubborness.
>>4545578>I don't think the main mod will ever really try to do this eitherIs this because of the game itself, or the mod team being queasy?
>>4545578Does any mod at least allow the yuri incest romance yet?
>>4545587Last I checked (which was over half a year ago) it was because the modder doesn't feel like they can write the adult romances properly. But at least they are open to let others make further mods for the game. For example there is a mod that changes the ending (specifcally of Rose&Violet) further. People are already treating the Kasumi mod as its own game that can be further modded, which really reminds me of the old Full Conversion mod days where people made modules for existing modules. Good times.>>4545591Haven't seen anybody do that yet. In fact the changelog said some stuff about the Sumire Rank 10 event in the main mod has been changed, so maybe it's even more platonic now.
>>4545578>JP audioCorrection, that modder is actually localizing the entire Kasumi overhaul to Japanese. So now Japs can actually play this too. It's kinda amazing.
>>4545578While we are on the topic, someone also made a small mod that changes the "cousin" parts of Makoto's Confidant from the R&V mod to call Kasumi her girlfriend. It's kinda hilarious, because the original was about pretending to be her lover, then the R&V mod changed it to cousins for the joke and now this returns it back to lovers, but with the appropiate female term.https://gamebanana.com/mods/657857And there is Gyaru Kasumi, because... uh... yeah. Gyaru yuri is kinda cute.https://gamebanana.com/mods/655764
>>4545506Nobody cares about VNs
>>4545614At least that means you have something in common with them.
>>4545614 #There's barely any yuri games that aren't VNs or basically VNs, you're being unreasonably strict with the requirements.
>>4545556They're not locked now but they're "unsupported" as in the R&V dev isn't touching them. The dependent mods should make the necessary text changes.
>>4545623The problem is a mod conflict here, because the generic Female Pronouns mod tends to overlap with the same files that R&V uses. Though I have heard mixed things about this, so maybe it's not true? If the female pronuns mods just filled the gaps of the unedited files that would be really good though.
>>4545614Shut the fuck up.
For the anons asking for more fucked up bdsm yuri visual novelshttps://horologiorum.de/
>>4545700Ancillae character bio has her gushing over her male master. That's some false advertisement.
>>4545704Oh I take back the rec then. I didn't bother to look further to not spoil myself...
>>4545506Is there? Because I only know of Love Ribbon and Sisterly Bliss (and the Imoen Romance mod, if that counts).If there's more, I'd love to hear about it.
>>4545385>>4545555Know what, I'm glad I booted up Burning Shore just because of a random post. Properly got back into it for a few hours and having fun again. Last I tried in December, I barely lasted minutes from being away for so long.
>>4545744Glad you are enjoying it.
>>4545621>>4545644Visual novels are like some of the most low effort trash around.
>>4545738I wasn't just talking about games mind you. This includes manga and anime and TV dramas. If we're talking video-games exclusively I would need a bit more time to think of a list. Considering you brought up non-Japanese works you should be fine with Volcano Princess too, which is Chinese. I won't spoil too much, but you can absolutely end up in a yuri incest romance, but you need to fulfill very specific conditions and it comes as a twist.
>>4545744I think a lot of people consider Horizon to be a generic open world RPG, but personally I feel like its a really comfortable and perfect system. It never feels bad to play and it is just all around super polished. Gameplay wise I am never bored or disappointed. Fighting giant robosaurs never gets old. For the lore and characters you need to be a certain mindset I think and really appreciate post-apocalypse downfall type stories, but I think it's well executed too. I am not gonna spoil anything, but Burning Shores has one of the most interesting side-plots, a cool romance and one of the best set-pieces in the entire franchise. That finale is so crazy that it literally cannot be played on the PS4 generation. The console can actually not handle it, which is why the DLC never came out on prior gens.
>>4545756>Volcano PrincessThanks, I'll add it to the list. Definitely okay with non-Japanese options, with pickings this slim I can't afford to be choosy. Prose fiction is a desert and more or less entirely limited to fanfiction, which varies wildly in quality.Nurse Love Addiction has the they're related, but actually no, but sort of yes but in an emotional sense twist, and I'm worried Yumeutsutsu Re:Master will have a similar pseudo-cop out.
>>4545761Nah the sisters in Yumeutsu are just straight up sisters.
>>4545757Played Zero Dawn, Frozen Wild and Forbidden West all at launch and thoroughly enjoyed them.Dont know why I took a break from Burning Shore and just let it sat there for three(!?) years. Very much looking forward to finishing it this week and then read/watch all the story and lore discussions I missed.
>>4545762And also schizos, but not really.I've been rereading parts recently and I forgot how wild it was. And that's with remembering the dog.
>>4545700>>4545704>>4545713She is literally drawn like a dude (on purpose even). There was no chance this was gonna be good even without that creepy male obssession.
>>4545506>>4545518>>4545738Here's a short list for yuri games that feature incest. It would be easier if we talked about all media, but whatever.-Sisterly Bliss ~ Don't Let Mom Find Out ~-Love Ribbon-Yumeutstsu Re:Master & Re:After-Sono Hanabira/A kiss for the petals series (I don't remember which one though)-Volcano Princess <- it's a twist, but you won't figure it out till it happens-FLOWERS (you will know when you reach the third game, Automne)- Symbiotic Love <- this is a heavy spoiler - Iwakura Aria <- this is a heavy spoiler based on circumstantial evidence-Crusader Kings 3 (you are telling me the medieval ruler game lets you do incest? How shocking!)-Lilycle Rainbow Stage!!! (one couple in the cast are sisters)-The Fairy's Song & The Fairy's Secret (this is like 8 generations apart, so maybe people won't count it)-Heart of the Woods (again, this is like distant relatives generations apart, so whether it counts is up to you)-Heaven Burns Red (this is a gacha so I dont recommend it, but whatever)-Blackberry Nova (this "series" is so messy I wouldn't recommend it either)-My sister, Your sister 1 & 2 (not translated)-Ane Loop Kyuuketsuki na Imouto wa Docchi no Onee-chan o Erandara Ii no~!? (not translated)-Ji Lian ~Fu Yu de Qianpian (not translated)
>>4545858Thanks, I appreciate it!
>>4545858>FLOWERS (you will know when you reach the third game, Automne)Who?I barely remember anything about the game by now.We're not talking about the twin ending right? I forgot that was even a thing.
>>4545879What else would I be talking about? Twincest was canonized in Hiver btw. That ending is considered canon.
This random hag in an old cottage just randomly started hitting on my femc. She called my protagonist "a fine lass" before this, which means she knows I'm a woman. So this is the tainted grail they were talking about...
>>4545883The twins being together or the MC being with the twins?
>>4545889MC? You mean Yuzuriha? She is with Nerine. I thought that was obvious if you played Hiver. The twins being with each other is canon, just like YuzuNeri is.
>>4545885Could this be considered hag-tempting?
>>4545892Yeah.And I played around launch, It took me awhile to even remember which couple is in which game.
>>4545630I'm near the end of the game using the recommended load order and whenever I got to the choice between friendzone and romance the dialogue box had big red THIS ROUTE IS UNSUPPORTED text but didn't prevent me from going for it. As far as I know it should work fine.
>>4545944>THIS ROUTE IS UNSUPPORTEDIT WILL. IN MY TIMELINE!
>>4545944Sorry, I should have been more specific. The Kasumi mod does not lock you out of the adult romances, it just didn't rewrite them, so they would still act as if Kasumi was Joker. The female pronouns mod, even if rudimentary, sort of fixes that. It would not be tailored to Kasumi, but it could at least somewhat preserve immersion. But the Kasumi mod always says it's incompatible with She/her Joker. Another anon explained that it would just overwrite the unedited base game files if you loaded it with lower priority, so in that scenario it would work. I never tested it myself though.
>>4545961Yes that's how the load order works and you're right about how it works ingame. You can do it but it's just edited vanilla content with no Kasumi specific changes.
>>4545977That's better than nothing I suppose. Should probably add that info to the mod paste. Thanks.
So there's a lot more to the Kasumi mod than a model and pronoun replacement.
>>4545990Anon... I understand you are new, but this is /u/. We don't post animal gifs here. Only girls, preferably of the gay variety.
New trademark filed by the publisher of Crystar and Crymachina
>>4546059How are these titles getting worse with every game? Crystar was a bit cringe, but it had a ring to it. Crymachina is just Japenglish gibberish. Crymelight doesn't even make sense on a conceptial level!
>>4546059Is Crysis part of the series too?
>>4546081>Man absorbed by a suit that is then worn by another manIt's the yaoi spinoff.
>>4545961>The Kasumi mod does not lock you out of the adult romances, it just didn't rewrite themDoes that also apply to the original Kasumi romance?O is that gone due to her being another character?
>>4546065"Crime Light" doesn't seem any worse than the other titles. Could be related to crime, limelight, maybe both
>>4546086No. The entire point of the Rose&Violet mod is to heavily rewrite everything about the twins. Sumire is not a romance option anymore. They are proper siblings. Though frankly the version I played around release of the mod was still extremely gay despite that.
>>4546093The problem is that this is not how the naming convention works. This isn't some cyberpunk stuff where you insert y into every word to seem cool. Cry is its own word attached to something else. So this title actually read "Cry Me Light". And even if it was crime light, this is still really stupid. Crystar = sad star that makes you cry. Crymachina = sad machines. Crymelight??? That shit means what? You are an urban anime girl that is enlightened by crime, but also cries about it?
How does this yuri visual novel have 8500 steam reviews?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3528450/Sweet_Home/
>>4546158It's not romance focused, it's about family trauma, which is like the number 1 biggest theme in Chinese real life based fiction. They eat that shit up. So yeah, chink reviews go through the roof if it's relatable.
>>4546141Cry me light, with me light being a reference to the protag's gf.
>>4546141We don't know how it's supposed to be read or pronounced.
>>4546178Logically it has to be the way I said. Factually it doesn't matter as I just elaborated on why both versions are stupid.
>>4546141Fuyuki trolling the english fanbase.
>>4546059more like crysomemore
>>4546059[hanamaru intensifies]
>>4545858>Sono Hanabira/A kiss for the petals series (I don't remember which one though)There is the Kaede/Sara trilogy. They are cousins.Then in New Gen there is a twincest couple, Ai and Aya.
Anyone checked out the vampdoll patch? They fixed "typos and omissions" and I'm wondering how much that covers.And just wondering, but do people do file diff to see what changed? Or do they basically read through it again?
>>4546081As is Far Cry.
>>4546345And Devil May Cry?
>>4546158Look pretty nice actually. Artstyle looks damn familiar though.
>>4546365>Look pretty nice actuallyNo it doesn't, look at that mess.
>>4546384I can already hear the Chinese slippers.
>>4546158Probably brought the audience from somewhere else. Isn't it based on some popular web original or something? Though maybe I'm mixing it up
>>4546387It's an odd reboot of Capcom's seminal Famicom horror game of the same name that went on to inspire Resident Evil.
I have once again clicked on a few random Rogue Trader videos and once again I had to remind myself that not only is it mostly unvoiced compared to BG3, it is also not even close to being finished with two(???) DLCs still in the worksFFS
>>4546388Is it a reboot of that, or the movie that Capcom’s game was based on?
>>4546435Also the combat is sucks.
>>4546446That too.
>>4546435No, the main game is finished.
>>4546446Bg3 combat.>Miss, miss, miss, critical miss, miss, hit but it's minimal damage, enemy saves.At least in RT you can actually reliably predict what you can do and thus strategies actually matters. Bg3' combat is just a rigged slot machine and "le quirky epic failure!" simulator.
>>4546568Bg3 combat feels and sounds goodRT combat looks like it’s made by amateurs
>>4546568DEX is not a dump stat. Also, don't fight enemies that above your current level.
>>4546568BG3 has extremely well tuned (and exploitable) combat. Stop making your skill issue everyone else's problem.
>>4546572>>4546585>>4546640Outside the superficial cinematics and the romances, bg3 actually isn't that good of a game when it come actually playing the damn thing. The honeymoon period is over and it's fine to look at the game with a more critical view.Search your feelings. You know this to be true.
>>4546643It was at that moment a Durge background character could be a paladin with the oath of ancients that I became disillusioned very fast. Make that make sense. Still imho, BG3 has still more combat freedom than any other owlcat game in comparision. You can throw a shoe. I don't remember being able to throw a shoe at somebody in pathfinder.
>>4546645In WOTR you can redeem, or even be redeemed by, a succubus and have magic babies together.I'll take that over throwing (and most likely missing) a shoe any day.
>>4546646Not saying anything against magic babies but we were talking about playing BG3, were we not? Are we going back to the romance that we finally have established BG3 has more fight options? Be my guest. Nobody in any universe can top Minthara in any way shape or form.
>>4546647You can have a throwing build in WOTR.
>>4546651But can you throw a shoe? A laddle? What ever your kleptomaniac of a thief got in her bag? Or can you throw your companions at your enemies? The enemy at the enemy? The enemy at your friends? Or do you just throw normal boring stuff like bombs, grenades or spears?
>>4546656Alongside darts and axes. An infinite amount of them.
>>4546658So if I understood that correctly, you just throw the normal standard stuff and not the "angry mom" throwables. Got it.
>>4546659Ah, but can you ride and fight atop a horse in bg3? A boar? A war-hound? A dinosaur?
>>4546660Touché. It would have been awesome to have the Owlbear at least as a mount in the final battle. Larian, if you are ever reading this. There is an idea. Give us mounts. I want an /u/nicorn.
>>4546661Also, in WOTR you can become a Demon, a Devil, a motherfucking Dragon, an Azata, an Aeon, or just a level humble 40 god slaying demi-god.The Knight Commander mogs Tav/Durge. Hard.
>>4546662Noooo, we were talking silly mechanics not bombastic character PATHs. Also:>AeonThe romance was hard to (be)hold.
I have not played Rogue Trader because the yuri option fucking sucks.That is all.>>4545578Wasn't Tae Takemi the sole exception among the adult Confidants or am I thinking of another mod? I remember reading something about this.
>>4546728Kibellah is literally the best romance in the entire game. Or are you talking about Jae?
>>4546643Clueless postBG3 has the best moment to moment gameplay out of all CRPGs. You're thinking about the SYSTEMS, which is obviously very important but a deep system is meaningless when what should have been an explosive strike feels and sounds like a wet fart when actually executed ingame. That's the part I have the most problem with when it comes to games like Rogue Trader. They just dont seem to know how to do action.
>>4546662I forgot what WOTR stood for. It's the Pathfinder game, right?
>>4546733BG3's production value doesn't erase its fundemental flaws - both 5E and Larian's implementation of it, alongside some of their questionable homebrews.>>4546740Wrath of the Righteous.
>>4546761Doesnt matterSwinging a sword looks and sounds good in BG3Swinging a sword looks and sounds like shit in an Owlcat game
>>4546777Swinging a sword in BG3.>Miss.Swinging a sword in an Owlcat game.>Hits.
>>4546782>Swinging a sword in an Owlcat game (after doing a million mandatory buffs and debuffs) FTFY
>>4546728>the romance option>singularIdiot doesn't even know there are 3.
>>4546728>Wasn't Tae Takemi the sole exception among the adult ConfidantsThat was in the fem Joker mod. Takemi is one of the 4 female romance options in that one.
>>4546782Motherfucker, get over you retardation already. If you are too fucking stupid to raise your stats correctly so that your abilities and sword swings dont have a 60% chance to miss you should kill yourself and get it over with.WOTR literally has the most egregious miss rate of all abilities, because the enemies all have retardedly huge DR. Against any boss you can basically not hit them at all unless you have a million buffs on and you dont have those in the early game. Seriously, you are just some moron who never played BG3 and got obssessed with some stupid meme about Shadowheart missing her fireball, because her stats are not made for fireball until you build her differently, which BG3 allows you to do for every character btw. There are no fundamental issues with the system of combat. Shit works nigh flawlessly. Any player who isn't braindead can easily make OP parties that destroy every enemy group with bullshit magic or give a Barbarian 100 moves in row. Or just throw explosive barrels at them and win. Or sneak attack for 1 billion damage. This gamne gives you thousands of ways to approach combat and succeed. If you can't you are just bad.
>>4546733>caring about action>in a western CRPGCRPGs are entirely about making neat builds and watching the characters grow into unstoppable forces, not about the sound effect your sword makes. If I want to play something with satisfyingly weighty combat, I’ll play a beat em up or a character action game.
>>4546881Are you an idiot? Sound design and visual impact for combat are always important. This is no different for CRPGs. If spells arent fun to use because they sound and look dull then there is no point. If you don't feel like your characters are doing some damage when they hit the enemy with their weapons it's painfully unsatisfying. It's not about the action it's about presentation. Otherwise you can play a pen and paper game and just imagine that shit.
>>4546801The buff/debuff thing is overexaggerated, especially if you play on the lower difficulties.>>4546806Buddy, you could max out your main stat before you hit level 5 and you'll still be missing a big chunk of the time. Things only get difficult in WOTR if you mess up your build, because unlike bg3, build and strategy actually matters. Also, WOTR does skill checks better because it doesn't have the stpud "universal natural 1" homebrew that Larian forced into bg3 and your skill bonuses can go higher than the single digits early on. In WOTR, I can have a degree of confidence my Wizard will pass an Arcana check. I can have a degree of confidence that my Sorcerer can persuade a character. I can have a degree of confidence that my fighter can move a boulder. Etcetera, etcetera.
>>4546890>especially if you play on the lower difficulties.
>>4546884There’s nothing wrong with having decent combat effects in your CRPG, but I must reiterate, nobody in their right mind plays a CRPG for sound effects or animations. Just accept that you’re a freak.
>>4546930NTA, and I agree with you on the "they might not play a CRPG only for the sound or animations" part but consider that they might not continue the game and maybe even refund it after the 2 hours windows if it's lacking in that department. Which means they are effectively only playing the game for those aforementioned reasons.Audiophiles are weird like that, deaf-neesan and just because some don't care doesn't mean others won't. Surprise, surprise!
I've been finally playing GoA and it's really fun and really cute. This is probably one of my favorite entries they've made yet. I wish the character dialogue was written a bit better but going around improving my villages while running around with a party of cute girls is really funI think I'm going to go for matsuri even though I have the dlc for the winter girl
>>4546932Audiophiles are a great example of people not in their right mind, yes. Combat presentation might play a small role in attracting players new to the genre, but it’s basically a non-factor in what makes the genre enjoyable. Like, so much so I’m having a difficult time thinking of genres where it matters less. I’m sure they exist, but I’m equally sure there aren’t many of them.
>>4546942You do know that audio plays a heavy part in combat experience? Ambience, SFX, voice lines, battle music? It's not just my opinion it's a general field of study in the gaming industry. Right now I don't have a good yuri example but the closest I could possibly stretch this is the dancer in DS3. She has intentionally a completely different sound rhythm in her music compared to any other boss in that game. That's why most of the people have the hardest time dealing with her. You should try it out for yourself and play any game with the sound turned off. See how long you can keep your interest, attention and focus on that game and see how long you last in a fight. Except if you are full on autist that can bulldoze through anything under any kind of distraction / circumstance. Cheers to that but I'm far too weak-brained.>TL;DRIf the sound isn't in good harmony with the game some people get irritated.
>>4546946No, actually as long as the sfx aren’t distractingly out of place (say, a cat meows every time you swing your sword), nobody seriously playing a CRPG is going to give a rat’s ass if you have the most weighty, meaty hit sound or a the hit sound effect from, I don’t know, NES Ninja Turtles. Poor sound design is not a significant flaw in a CRPG. Also lots of people play video games (and not just CRPGs) with the audio muted, so they can listen to music/podcasts/talk to friends/whatever; this is normal behavior. You’re just crazy.
At least Skyrim and CP2077 have a million audio overhaul mods, but I guess we are veering into immersive sim territory.
>>4546881Sound and animation are important in every game.You're clearly someone who doesnt "get" video games. You may act like a gamer, but it doesn't seem like you'll ever be one.
>>4546948>audio mutedYes, if you are familiar with the game. You know what to expect when you do an action. Your brain automatically tries to combine your past experience with the game you play on mute. You know what you are doing in silence feels good because you know that it felt good in the past with the sound turned on.However, I meant on a new game. The start of the first 2 hours OBC process. Do you still think the same principles apply? I'm not so sure of that. The sound in BG3 feel and sound crunchy and impactful especially on a successful crit while Wotr in comparison seems missing that certain oomph.Or for a better relatable example:I would haven't any qualms in killing Minthara if I didn't love her voice so much. This is also battle related because I never want to her hear die.
>>4546935GoA is certainly the most polished entry. And the graphics and performance took a huge leap since RF5. Dialogue always sucks in these games, unless you happen to play the lesbian Frey mode for RF4. Still lots of cute interactions between kaguya and her harem of wives.
>>4546942You continue to be a moron. Your inability to understand that immersion features matter just makes you seem autistic instead. Like I said, you dont need a video-game. You clearly would be better off with a pen and paper game, as you obviously dont care about any of the video-game parts, autist.
>>4546952You don’t understand that different types of games are naturally going to prioritize different elements of game design differently.>>4546963And you can’t construct an argument without meaningless buzzwords.>>4546955>the first 2 hoursSo we can agree that it’s not a significant element of CRPG design.Again, is good sound design nice to have in a game? Sure. Is it important in a CRPG? Not unless you’re a crazy person. You idiots can keep spouting the same stupid nonsense all day, it doesn’t change the fact that as long as a CRPG’s sound design is vaguely adequate, it is not a meaningful talking point. Experienced reviewers do not dock points from CRPGs for their sound effects. People don’t factor the sound design into whether they recommend playing Ultima IV or Eye of the Beholder.
>>4546969They arent buzzwords when they accurately pinpoint exactly what you are, autist. Nice job completely avoiding the irrefutable points I made. Shows your lack of arguments.
>>4546969>So we can agree that it’s not a significant element of CRPG designNo. Why would you think?For example, everyone on Steam knows that this is the most important timeframe for any game. The players know and especially the devs are aware of this. Your game has to be on its best behaviour in those few hours. Why would you think CRPGs are an exception?
Fancy sound effects aren't what people play CRPG's for. It's story and gameplay that matter that matter. And when it comes to that, Bg3 is a mixed bag - especially in the story department.
>>4547019You fucking idiot. You have been trying desperately to ignore half ot the point. Not just sounds, but also animations. Feedback. You retard. Part of what makes combat satisfying is making it feel good. That's all part of that you brainlet.BG3's story is great, has lots of player agency and integrates most of the Origin paths really well and gives you lots of endings. It's one of the best CRPG stories ever made. You are just jumping from point to point trying to find something to complain about, you piece of shit. You dont have any real points, this is clearly just bait at this point. You want to hate the game and get people riled up.
Considering this is from the 1000xResist developers, I guess you can see some kind of fucked up yuri if you squint hard enough with thishttps://youtu.be/1WKLifo41ts
>>4547058It's basically become a hip contrarian thing to dump on BG3 now.When I first learned about Rogue Trader, I came across a video by some youtuber and another guest comparing the games and they started saying how BG3 is just a dating game and I'm like....bitch, I fucking wish it was a dating sim. Out of the 150+ hours I put into my first playthrough, there's like 2 hours of actual romance content at the most.
>>4547060It also has devs from Slay The Princess, so you could make the same argument that it's het. There is really no reason to cope this hard and post irrelevant trailers with no hint of yuri anon...
>>4547065Slay the Princess studio is just doing the publishing. >An AI dares to dream that she is human. You (female) have been hired to put her in her place. Sounds toxic yuri to me
>>4547062Chuds were completely and utterly drowned out by the positive receptions and hype around the game, so they have been angrily stewing in the background festering like a cancer. Now that people have mostly moved on from the game, they are coming out of the woodworks to make the same retarded backwards arguments to shit on the "woke" game that they tried back then and failed. Only now nobody is listening either.
>>4547068You don't need to do mental gymnastics to make up some crumb of yuri where there is none. If the game releases anything actually indicating yuri you are free to get excited and tell us. Until then you really don't need to do this. We got enough yuri games both coming out and to look forward to.
>>4547058Again, your putting everything into production value. Also, no, the story itself is very mid and only gets worse the further you get into the game.>>4547062No, it's just that the honeymoon phase is over. And actually, if you go look back even in EA there were people criticising the game for very legitimate reasons.>>4547069Bg3 is a legitimately flawed game, from both a gameplay narrative perspective.
Who gives a shit? You've been having your spat about off-topic RPG mechanics for multiple days across a hundred post and mentioned yuri in maybe two of those, take it to /v/ already. Where is the hall monitor schizo the one time he might be useful?
>>4547103>a bunch of unsubstantiated bullshitNobody gives a shit about your bait anymore. We are done here.
>>4547121>hundreds of postsCan't count? If you are so bothered by it, report the troll already.
The low points of Rogue Trader for is that Argenta isn't an option and that the pc can't get her leg over with Yrliet.
>>4544822>Let the dev do their game.Actually we can shit talk about it as much as we want. Cope and seethe
>>4547187Wait I decided to look up the game and it's an alternative reality setting?? So that's what the devs thought was more important in a game with anti grav cars? A Woman detective (which wasn't a thing in the PI industry at the time) but no Lesbians (which actively were having private parties and events in clubs)Amazing
>>4547190That's why we called it BS.
>>4547240I can see that now. It's one thing to just not have romance but you pretend to care about historical social accuracy and have a woman as a protagonist in an industry that she couldn't reasonably participate in at the time due to factors that the devs should be keenly aware of is retarded
>>4547271You're complaining about yuri content? Next you'll say P3P isn't yuri
>>4547060>>4547068>When I meet my body, I will never part from her>Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through.>This is a love storyWe definitely need a yuri version of Slay the Princess. Please, make it so.
>>4547121>Where is the hall monitor schizo the one time he might be useful?He IS part of the argument, in case you didn't notice that typical condescending choice of words.
>>4547345It's a wish on the stars to be able to a part of the discussion surrounding GoA when you know no Sakuna magic plant children.
>>4547346What the heck is this sentence? I can't even make heads or tails of it.
>>4547345Which of the three condescending people is it supposed to be then?
>>4547455Be less obvious next time
>>4547538You are the most condscending one, so it has to be you.
>>4543678Well well, would you believe it, but there was a volume 2! Apparently rugmunching the Marquise de Baise really went over well with Goth Medieval Wales.
>>4547637>her tongue flicking like a mischievous serpentGood stuff.
>>4547637>Marquise de Baise
>>4547637>Wales Finally someone who gets that the Arhurian myths take place in wales and not Brittain
