Amagami is not dead yet!
>>719375649>You larp as a generic Japanese high school boy except all females are rigged to gravitate towards youI really do not get the appeal
Ayatsuji-san is a wonderful person with nothing to hide
>>719375649>dickbiter
>>719375649Where can i play this?
>>719375845try modding the girls into men maybe that'll be more your speed
>>719375845>all females are rigged to gravitate towards youWhat's not to get?
>>719375649>Japanese girls actually have black hair and black eyesWhy is this so rare in Japanese fictional mediums such as anime and games?
>>719376063Obviously because people like varied and colorful designs.Amagami manages to pull normal looking girls very well though.
Ayatsuji is my favorite Amagami.Her anime and VN routes are both good. Even the SS+ original stuff is good.
>>719375649I'm still awaiting for a Switch port
>>719375649Japanese schoolgirls are a miracle of the universe.
>>719376013If protag is being liked for no apparent reason at all, it's harder to understand the narrative. And if it's literally every girl this boy interacts with, the story better explain what the hell is going on.Am I using some kind of hypnosis app to trick these girls to love me? Is being generic chadmove in Japan? What's going on?
>hasn't got new content in 14 years>still has a loyal presence on western forumsHow did they do it?
>>719375963Translate please weeb-sama
>>719376828>Wh-who are you?>No moving.>Please, stay stillIs this a rape scene?
>>719375845he is not generic at all, he is a fucking loser pervert that keeps porns mags at school, spends his entire day at school despite not being in a club and hardly has any friends at all.he is a super loser.

>>719377091>he's a loser pervHuh? Then why is he liked?
>>719375845search the archive for "sex hair"
>>719376063You need a skilled artist that can make distinct designs without using wildly colored hair as a crutch.
>>719377157>HibikiIs she supposed to be the least pretty and unpopular girl in in the show with those slanted eyes?
>>719377465>>719377157>Japanese game depicts a Chinese girl with slanted eyes???
>>719377157Racemix sex with Hibiki.
>>719376396stop being a lil fag jesus
>>719377157>best Amagami>no route of her ownI'm still salty
>>719377656>ai is people's favoriteHuh, i dont usually choose the commoners girl as my fav.>>719377204Do you really want to know?
>>719377080Read it more like a romantic, "let's stay like this for a while longer" kind of thing.
>>719377740Why are you so upset?Are you alright?
>>719375649Is the PS2 translation still split into 3 ISO files?
Hopefully we get more Amagami doujins
>>719375649What is the best way to play it these days?
>>719375845In case you actually want a real answer: what passes for a "nerd" nowadays is really what you could call a "failed normalfaggot". Unlike Us, The Real Nerds, who just want to play video games, watch anime etc., the failed normalfaggot wants girls, is obsessed with them and sex, yet can't get them. He's not actually a fan of vidya and animu, he simply chooses the hobby that delivers him the substitute of the thing he wants in the easiest to swallow way.He is the easiest target for those who want to make some quick bucks, hence the retarded amount of harems in the last 10-15 years. Especially ones that let the failed normalfaggot self-insert easily, thus the boring, normalfaggy MCs, suddenly loved for no reason by all the cute girls.I hope this answers your question.
Its been a decade and a half.Did you make it?
>>719379082Obviously not, especially in Commiefornia.
>>719377157Hibiki.
>>719375649Ai Nanasaki!
Dozo
>>719375845>>719377091>>719379056He's a loser but the point is that playing optimally requires you to be a giga-chad. The story of these games would not be interesting if at the start of the game the protagonist you're supposed to play as is already successful socially. There is no winning over the most popular girl if you're already a normal guy
>>719376396>why do the enemies in Mario walk towards the end of the screen? Isn't it stupid they don't strategically wait for Mario to approach them?These games would be boring and even more retarded if you were in charge of them. It's not hypnosis, it's the fact that the person playing the game is now playing as the MC and can make all his decisions. The narrative of the game is that you are the decision maker and guiding this high school boy through the trials of high school. He is no longer generic and boring because you're playing as him now, girls will go up to him because you put him in good scenarios and give him cool lines to say. You get your stats up and they like you even more.
>>719379056Dam Bro you've actually deluded yourself into thinking your hobby is not just an amalgamation of perverted desires. Especially with CLAMP and various other manga creators INCLUDING your beloved Miura (BERZERK) going into detail about writing fetishes and desires cleaned up for audiences. I half agree with you, but you're no better. Truth is you're a special case of "failed normalfaggot" that cannot enjoy entertainment as delivered yet still bitch about it like you dont have the option to derive pleasure from your community/entertainment.
AI MEANS LOVE
The next frontier is Kita He White Illumination now that EOPs have their snouts deep in the Amagami trough.
>>719380634>Ai slop
the college sequel sucked, too many sex scenes
>>719380928>Bro you have to work up from being a high school loser to a chad. Make choices, give yourself stat boosts so they appreciate how you improvedNow that makes sense. Jesus. Thank you and fuck you. What's up with all these people acting super defensively?
>>719381459EOPs still don't even have KimiKiss or TLS, dude.
>>719381334Exquisite deflect.
>>719381459>google it>there's an IGN review from 25 years ago that gave it 5.8/10 because "I imported it but I can't read Japanese so I can't play it"Crazy to think that that guy could still be here, begging for translations.
>>719380660My favorite two routes were Sae and Ayatsuji. Sae was so cute and watching Ayatsuji mask start to slip being fed up with retards was based.
>>719379056I think bland MCs are fine, even if the savvy otaku types are more relatable.
>>719380660Sae is the only one who puts out and becomes a creampie freak.Also if you marry Haruka you get Hibiki for free.
>>719383359Haruka is the worst girl though.
>>719375649this thread sure is though
>>719377204In universe he's good looking and charismatic (when you get the best ending)
>>719386827>lookmaxxing is the answerits over
gib takahashi sensei
>>719386874Yes, retard, it turns out when you care about how you look you become more attractiveYou're never going to pull like a model, but if you push yourself to a 7 and aren't a complete autist you'll be able to find someone
Why are the Amagami girls so attractive even though they look so plain by anime girl standards?
>>719387363Anatomy and expressions
>>719387363Best smiles
>>719387363They're actually prettyEven shit and lame girls like Risa, the tea club girls and Hibiki are 9/10s
>>719375649>>719377157So is anyone going to dump these ASMRs? They weren't on the meow site last I checked.
Is Amagami the only anime/VN where most of the girls have black hair?
>>719386947>No pubesMeh
>>719388849I'm sure it's not the only one, but I can't think of any others
>>719375845>are rigged to gravitate towards yousomeone hasn't played the game at all. This shit is hard as fuck
>>719378348Theres now an all in one vita port that got another editing pass and bug fix, works completely fine
>>719391172>another editing passIt would take a fundamental rewrite to fix the issues with Amagami's English translated script.
>>719391305>issues with Amagami's English translated scriptwhats wrong with it?
>>719390636If you only focus on one girl, it's super easy.I wish there was actually some kind of incentive to maintain friendships. If you could get a romance and a friendship ending at the same time then it'd actually be worth engaging with the difficulty
>>719391331>what's wrong with itWhat the fuck ISN'T wrong with it?
>>719391418I don't know jap, but I just took a screenshot of the scene from the vita release. It seems right according to chatgpt.
>>719391817Fixing one problem doesn't fix the countless others.
>>719391351the only purpose is to go to the love route of two girls and stand one up on christmas, so you get the bad ending. That's trivial to do. But you also need to do a dedicated playthrough for each girl if you want to see all the variations of their reward events and to fill out the grid.
>>719391967>fill out the grid.Do people actually do that to 100%?
>>719375845It's a romance simulator. "What if I tried talking to this cute girl back in high school", that's the appeal.
>>719388849As far as galge go, probably. But it's not as uncommon in plot focused vns.>Kara no Shoujo, Cartagra or any other Innocent Grey vn>Some Leaf games (White Album 2 and Teninai)>Mahoyo, kind of, all the Japanese characters have shades of black or brown hair, and the whites have blonde hair... but it's also set in the same universe as Fate and Tsukihime where hair colors get crazierMajikoi is the only galge example I can think of where there are a lot of black haired girls, but that's only if you count the sequel and all the fandisks. I counted at least 10.
Anyone else just find the idea of a girl being even vaguely interested in you completely unfathomable?
>>719392116Not me. I think it's a chore to get the teardrop events where girls notice you're cheating on them.The opposite extreme is to get a girl's true ending but skip the reward events; why even bother?
>>719392528No, I'm really attractive. I prefer galge because the chicks are actually cute and don't sperg out for no reason, though.
>>719391940seems like they did a bit of a retranslation touch up if chatgpt's translation is accurate.
>>719392829I guarantee that's a lie
>>719392880It's funny how they slightly changed one line, but still missed all the other massive mistakes.When you read this exchange, do you think it makes any sense? Because it doesn't.
>>719392528I find the idea of girls not being ultra cunts to be high fantasy. Immediately takes me out of the experience.
bros i have failed The Amagami Challenge 12 years in a rowreally need to kms
Why hasn't this game ever been translated when I feel like millions of more difficult and less worthwhile ones have?
>>719393778/fa/ is genuinely awful for fashion adviceWhich is totally unsurprising when it's a niche autist community
what are the best dating sims for beginners? I only played Katawa Shoujo
>>719394004Anon, you're not gonna get skill diffed by a vnAmagami is a good game
>>719394004Katawa Shojo isn't a dating sim, it's a kinetic novel.
>>719393884>this is fat in Japan
>>719394083not true, you make choices and have branching paths in katawa shoujo
>>719394134There's one choice per heroine in the prologue to decide your route and that's it. Dating sims have daily choices, it's a lot closer to an actual game.Every in game day it asks who you want to talk to or where you want to hang out.They're very different things.
>>719386947>No pubesDelicious smooth cunt
>>719394206you claimed katawa shoujo is a kinetic novel when you, I and everybody else in the thread knows it isn't, don't do the pedantic retard thing of trying to argue a point that you know for a fact is incorrect, you will only further embarrass yourself
>>719393376the third line is awkward but I get what was said
>>719394434I think the "dating" part of a dating sim is a necessary prerequisite
>>719394434There are NO choices whatsoever in any of the routes besides the one Misha subroute choice, that's literally it. When you start Bacon's route, you're on Bacon's route, it has no variants and no reason to ever replay it. It's a very simple novel.I'm not even judging it, I don't care, it is what it is and that's fine but it's not a dating sim.
>>719394465You don't, because what was said is gibberish.The last 2 lines are "Wait, wasn't your favorite motto the other day "saving money is for suckers"?" and "Well, I've got a lot of favorite mottos".
>>719394206So what's a good dating sim for beginners? Something where you pick daily activities to raise stats in order to date girls, not like amagami where you simply pick your favorite girl's activities every day.
>>719395119That's a life sim, a dating sim doesn't require that if it has other choices.For example:1. Minigames for girls where you try to raise their interest in you through conversation (which amigami has)2. Branching choices within events which alter thee path of your run (which amigami has)3. Fail states/various levels of success (which amigami has)But if you want a dating sim that is also a life sim, then I can give you recommendations for that instead
>>719395279>But if you want a dating sim that is also a life sim, then I can give you recommendations for that insteadThat's what I'm looking for, thanks
>>719395354Ok I recommend that you get better taste
>>719394789>>719394820If it has different routes, it's not a kinetic novel>>719395354I wouldn't take advice for him, he's a retard who intentionally argues in bad faith
>>719395464>If it has different routes, it's not a kinetic novelYou will have your mind blown if you ever play a real VN then I guess.
>>719394829>You don't, because what was said is gibberish.What? The lines implies he spent the Tachibana's money because he would have regretted not spending it later as per his motto.
>>719396178That didn't happen. Again, what you're reading exists only in the mind of the N5 trannylator, there is no implication that Umehara spent Tachibana's money, just that Umehara is a bullshitter and changes his favorite motto on a whim.
>>719396521That may as well be but the line itself isn't gibberish
>>719396906It is, which is why you had to invent an explanation in your head.
>>719375981kek
>>719375649>You now remember SeirenAlso, how come we never got a Love Plus sequel?
>Most of the best girls don't have a routeIf you couldn't date Ai then the game would be genuinely unplayable
>>719397334They made a gacha which died in like 3 months or something.
>>719397396>that one waifufag who's drawn nothing but Biki art for the last 15 yearsBless him
>>719393376>still doesn't know "イルミネーション" isn't a generic stand-in for any light sourceSomeone call me when the translation tools are actually released for this fucking shit show like the troonslators said they would once they were done with it.
I really struggle to imagine how autistic I'd have to be to play through the game in japanese, and then again via fan translation to get annoyed at the mistakes
>>719397414>A gacha for a game with 3 girlsHow?
>>719397627You had to roll for cards that had story scenes and some gameplay benefit in the shitty time wasting part.
>>719397627>Release in July>Summer banner in august>EoS in SeptemberEZ clap
Which Ama would you gami?
>>719397696That's stupid. The entire appeal of the Love Plus was that you had a real time virtual gf. Why did they think locking that behind a gacha would work?
>>719397897I mean, you did have a real time virtual GF, there were just stupid bullshit hoops to jump through.
>>719397897>Why did they think locking that behind a gacha would work?it would make it more realistic lol
>>719397601I really struggle to imagine how much of a Neanderthal I'd have to be to lack basic standards for games that allegedly had translation efforts ongoing for a decade. You'd think that every possible error would have been caught and corrected and the writing be at least decent with that much time devoted to it.
>>719398784>ongoing for a decadeThat's enough time to get fluent...
>>719397601There was enough time between the original release and fan translation to learn japanese, play the game in japanese and then years later replay in english because you heard that fan translation finally was finished.
>>719399056Amagami is such an easy game that I read it after about 6 months.
>>719399354I'm not that old, unc
>no sex scenes>no harem endWhat's the point?
>>719400679>no harem endThere's like, 1 girl in the cast that would be okay with that
>>719400574I hope you are because if you're not something is wrong.
>>719400758I wasn't even in secondary school in 2011
>>719400831I hate you
>>719380660Sae owes me sex.What are some of these games with good writing and gameplay? I miss when galge were actually interactive without them turning into JRPGs. Just finished with NOeL: Not Digital and I want more.
>>719397879>walks around town at night in just a raincoat and a micro-bikiniRisa of course.
Yes yes Amagami is great. Now who is the best girl? K E I K O T A N A K A That is all
>>719375649It wasn't even that good of a VN
>>719388547I bought Kaoru one, it's ass to share because you have to record it due to the audio being tied to the website
>>719375845>Spread sheeting dating to make scoring a girl feels like a fun video game instead of choirThis is the appeal. It's the same reason why people play games like House Flippers and Power Wash Simulators but none of them actually enjoys cleaning their room.
>>719376761Amagami has had successor projects. They're just not as popular as the OG.
>>719405708Forgot to name them. Seiren and Photo Kano
>>719375649>Everytime you try to put dick into these girls you get a sudden glimpse of potential future with her but when you wake up from that trip you've returned to the start of December 1999 simulatorgrim
>>719405795>SeirenHow come this got nuked from steam? A rights dispute or something?
>>719397536Bless Sasaki Akira
>>719402284I wonder why she doesn't get her own route in drama CDs and expansion packs despite other non-datable character eventually got themI mean she has her own secret ending in Kaoru route
