Alfadios 11 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 So after a long time...I just finished Higurashi ep.8 and I have to say...at the end I liked the whole story more than I first expected it to...yeah...with my interest steadily boulding up from ep. 1 to 8, I would rate the frist half(ep. 1-4) with an 8.2 and the latter half(5-8) with an 9.4 bringing it to an rating of 8.8 for the whole story. Well after that...I want something diffrent to read before going into umineko...maybe rewrite or mgq 3...who knows xD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard the Lone Wolf 10 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Finally 100% completed Demonbane after 4-5 months. What a monster. (T__T) I am most likely going to avoid long VN for a while. Too lazy and tired to write a damn review (that nobody's gonna read anyway) so only pro and con will be listed. Con: - BROKEN SKIP FUNCTION. Skip function sometimes won’t skip over some scenes even if they’re lines by lines the same as they were in the route you've played only because the scene now occurred in another route. Reading the same exact thing thrice was incredibly annoying. - LOTS OF LONG H-SCENES. And the penis size....urgh -.- - I dislike the prologue and the first 3 chapters. - Blurry CGs - Annoying heroines. -.- Complaint is spoilerish and I'm basically too lazy to go into details. Pro: - Cool writing. Very enjoyable story. - Chapter 4 boss fight is awesome - Cool characters: Doctor West, Elsa, Tyrant, Sandalphon, etc. - Animated video - Elsa is kawaii~, robo. - Super Butler vs Samurai - good fighting scene - Metatron and her entrance theme BGM - Epic final boss in Leica's route. All those VAs screaming... - Badass weapons - Al-Azif best route. - Wakamoto And so on, and so on. 8.2/10 Edited January 16, 2014 by Gerard the Lone Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitetragedy 23 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I wonder why no one translated the sequel to Demonbane. Is it because it's not good or? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alfadios 11 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well I finished Rewrite today. It was my first Novel by Key,so I kinda got in with no expectation whatsoeaver(well excluding that it was highly rated on vndb and here...). And I was pleasantly surprised,if I may say so. As for the route order,I followed the one Desi suggested me,being Kotori-->Chihaya-->Shizuru--->Lucia--->Akane. As for my rating of it I would give it a good 9.1 out of ten. As for my favourite girl....I would probablky go with Shizuru,because she`s just too cute. Well as for what I`ll read next...I think I`ll get to the next Monster(speaking of length) Umineko...

Aynil 12 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just finished Higanbana 2, personally I feel like the first one was way better, the endings of some of the chapters were kinda awkward, I'll leave it at that since I don't wanna spoil anything to those who is going to play, if there actually is someone who's gonna play it, but anyways the game was really enjoyable, however don't expect too much.

OneManArmy 82 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well as for what I`ll read next...I think I`ll get to the next Monster(speaking of length) Umineko... Umineko? Are you serious? It's one of the worst games ever. The story is badly paced, the characters are plain and annoying, there are no voices whatsoever, the graphics are beyond horrible and the music will turn your ears into a sea of blood. You may wonder why it has a high vndb rating but that's nothing but a huge trap. It's like an insider in the vndb community and so everyone gives it a high score so that people like you will fall for it. Seriously, fuck those people who made me play a shitty game like that. And now after spreading those lies, let's get out of here ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(; ・_・)┘ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im getting that exact feeling as I am finishing the stories. Need to finish the last few stories but Higanbana 1 blew my mind way more than this so far Edited February 13, 2014 by battlerrules Quote Link to post Share on other sites
someguy withaname 10 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Higurashi. Its awesomeness is virtually impossible to put into words but I gave it my best shot in the review section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
battlerrules 10 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Higanbana 2, was definitely disappointed compared with number 1 but what can we do :*( Edited February 17, 2014 by battlerrules Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pramit 22 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) koihime musou. Decent. 6/10. Teenage girls are now legendary generals and war heroes in the battlefield - amazing idea! "charge!" "motivation speech" "teehee, i'm gonna kill u!" "oops, i missed. oh well, the battle is over, so u better surrender so our pacifist lord(the protagonist) can H u" "bai bai!" (After battle ends, yes this is how it really went in one scene) The gameplay has potential, sadly it is a porn game, and so, never a challenge. H scenes galore. Some heroines i like, some i dislike(rinrin..ugh). Fight scenes are boring and tedious (no description, just dialogues like "hah! hah! hah! hah!" or "here! take my spear of heaven"). You can do whatever heroines you like at first, but for completion ofc you need to do all the heroines(and for the harem end). Or you can skip it all and still reach the default good ending with Aisha. the story is good..i guess. 6/10 is decent. Saji sounded like kyosuke from lb(can't be bothered to look up if they are the same VA), so yay. Edited February 19, 2014 by pramit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dante1016996 10 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Just finished Higanbana 2. So sad that it was short. I loved every damn line I read out of it. It definitely was harder to put down compared to 1. As the chapters were unlocked, the stories only got better and better. One of the few VN's I will definitely read again.

lucifer193 12 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Finished Grisaia... Here's some quick review (in order of which route I played first): [spoiler=Michiru]Well...It's a good story overall to steal my attention from other things. Her story makes me interested in meeting people w/ multiple personalities... [spoiler=Makina]THAT ANNOYING LITTLE PRICK!!!! Also, a very, very bad "BAD" ending...and tuna...? [spoiler=Sachi]Two words revolve around her route..."Why?" and "PTSD"... [spoiler=Amane]Kinda regret to read this route before Yumiko's...And yes...This is the best route yet even though w/ all the cannibalism and stuffs...*shudders* [spoiler=Yumiko]Daaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww......Why is Yumiko so adorable? And because of this chapter, now I know the thing koestl used as his Twitter pic...(Been wondering for quite awhile now...) Now...I'll wait for Meikyuu while reading some Fate and Umineko...

Virsia 10 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 finished dengeki stryker. -well done on the artwork and CG, about story there is multiple chapters, there is very few choices available which is sad, but it has a potential. -it's not so hard to finish the story and got full CG and i think it's mild action genre (not much violence and blood splattering scene). -BGM overall are good OP and ED ost also fit. -you might find yourself laughing at first quarter of the story but tension will increase as you go deeper into story. overall rate it's good 71/100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitetragedy 23 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Finished I/O, one of the best VNs I've read for a while. It was so packed with action, mystery, and suspense that I couldn't put it down. Well, a part of that might be my love for Heterochromia. Definitely worth my time.

Virsia 10 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) finished 2 followings i dunno if they can be called eroge but whatever 1 Battle Moon wars 2 Dustmania -Battle moon wars More or less a time consuming game the battle is bit challenging, but nothing hard really if you're looking for time consuming or getting tired with fapping allover the places I think this one might entertain you, about the graphics what can i say it's one of oldies so dont expect anything fancy although it's still has animation for skill and stuff, bgm are good and suitable i think i'll try and search for it. About the story I'm not gonna write anything, you maybe can guessed from the cover, but i'm satisfied and happy to play this game. Overall i would rate this 7/10 worth playing -Dustmania Grotesque As far the most disturbing materials i've ever read. coz of my everyday life and job i've developed resistance to blood and some crazy mind bugging scene so i can as much read it without getting nauseous and vomiting, the sound are fit for the scene, the art are pretty real and good but not to vulgar (CG quality, realism of blood and stuff) but really?? censorship??? is that even needed for this?? About the story it's pure madness, if you ever dare to try this one i suggest you threw away all your morals and logic, just focus on reading, it's pretty interesting experience actually and i DON'T regret reading this one, surely it has the potency for developing better story and reach definitive ending, but sadly it is just too DAMN short. not much explanation, there is not much detail on why or how the game just give brief explanation and the show begins and but of course it's just ends as fast as it started. Overall i would rate this 4/10, story is short and leave me unsatisfied. Final note: if there is something you consider spoiler please let me know (mail/whatever) i'll fix it, I DO NOT intent to ruin your gaming experience Edited March 3, 2014 by Virsia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albedo 10 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Higanbana 2. Liked it better than the first one, but still one of Ryukishi07's weakest games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alfadios 11 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Soo yesterday I finished my onth long journey of Umineko-when they cry. And man it was a good journey. I enyoed almost every moment of it. At times it had it`s length but considering that even those contain rather important inforations it was okay. And the one thing that kept me going and going was this awesome soundtrack it`s hardly surprising that people love the umineko soundtrack...and how it was used was also superb. Then we have the characters in Umineko(I won`t go into detail because of spoilers,but...) which in my eyes were superb,more than once I was surprised of what they were doing and my face was glued to my screen wanting too read more. The plot was good,had it`s twist and turns and it`s turns and twists and...you know. As for how the story ende...I liked the way it was executed and find it a rather perfect anding for an epic tale. With that being said I`ll rate Umineko no Naku Koro ni with an 9.4/10 and it`s sequel Chiru with an astounishing rating of 10/10 and being placed second behind MLA on my favourite VNs of all time. With that being said... We`ll meet again.When something else cries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aynil 12 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Continuing the Ryukishi07 combo, I just finished Umineko Hane, it's a cool little extra so I suggest anyone who liked the Umineko series to check it out. Here's a noticeable moment of it.... (...... I wonder if there are any other people besides me that actually prefers the original art...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harlequin 17 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Continuing the Ryukishi07 combo You should try Tsubasa as well if you haven't already. It's the better fandisc, in my opinion. (Not all stories in it are translated though, but who knows when/if they ever will be) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albedo 10 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Finished I/O, good but not as good as the infinity series games. It's complex as hell, though, and the final route ends in a Gainax ending Quote Link to post Share on other sites
