Wow, what a... uhhh.... clever title.
-
Wow, two of us noticed it before Omega. He's slipping!
-
Sounds way too rapey for my tastes.
-
This one looks to combine some of my favorite features. Good art, a story that isn't based around high school, and no strange fetishes like piss drinking. Definitely gonna give it a shot.

Lol, i love how things like artificial insemination are never considered as options in these stories.
-
Ooh, been waiting for this one. First chapter was bland, but the subsequent ones have been decent.

This title first noticed before Outpost Omega J. All other details irrelevant.

Betting pool on release date for VN "Hello Lady!"
Throbbin Hood replied to Outpost Omega J's topic in Eroge General Talk
This is 2020. Best not to assume anything positive. -
Looks interesting. Haven't had anything story heavy for a while, and I was getting bored of the recent mostly vanilla titles.

Looking for Gender Bending Games in English Version.
Throbbin Hood replied to Karen's topic in Eroge General Talk
Yeah, not a lot of games in that vein get translated to English, as most fan translations are made to cater either to fan preferences, or the tastes of the translator themselves. MangaGamer hasnt really touched on it much either. Like Napo, I can't think of any that were released in English other than what you played, off the top of my head. Still, good luck! -
You just necroposted a thread that hasn't seen a post in 4 years. Long dead. Regardless, a syntax error when trying to boot up VNs can usually be fixed by going into your system setting and changing your locale to Japanese.

What constitutes an "intricate bug" in a VN?
Throbbin Hood replied to Outpost Omega J's topic in Eroge General Talk
Maybe a team of rookies? If there's one thing I know about coding, it's that even stuff that should be simple, cut and dry programs can be a huge bugger to fix if a small but tough to notice error was made. It could also just be a blanket excuse for a delay in general. Rather than explain why, just drop the term "intricate bug'" and assume no one will question it. That's no excuse, of course, but it would explain a lot. -
I doubt you'll find the 18+ steam patch here, but the site does have the full, uncensored version up for download anyway. https://erogegames.com/song-saya-514/

Pretty new to eroge, looking for some recommendations
Throbbin Hood replied to Throbbin Hood's topic in Eroge General Talk
I am quite familiar with Steins;Gate, actually. I've definitely seen and loved the anime. I've actually got it on my to-do list. And I definitely enjoy both story driven and nut-busting VNs. -

Throbbin Hood replied to Throbbin Hood's topic in Eroge General Talk
Always happy to have more suggestions. I'll definitely look into some of those, I know I've heard good things about a couple of the ones you listed. -

Welp, that can't be unseen. -

Throbbin Hood replied to Throbbin Hood's topic in Eroge General Talk
I've gone through a couple of your guys' suggestions, thanks for those! So far so good. I've been playing whatever catches my eye, like before, but I've also been looking into your recommendations. Lemme know if you have any other gems to suggest! -
Oof. I gotta side with Omega on this one. I get nukige, if you wanna skip to the saucy bits, but doing this to a VN is practically criminal. If the VN is good, then you wanna get to know the characters, but if the VN is bad, then why would you be interested in the saucy bits anyway?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into that stuff once I'm finished with my current game. -
They are something you go into that requires player input, and has a goal that is acheived through that input. Even if there are no choice based bits of dialogue, it still has an end goal that the player strives towards by clicking through dialogue. That's the very definition of a game.

I only recently (less than 6 months) discovered the joys of eroge. I've been going in blind and trying out games at a whim, but I've noticed that this often ends in disappointment or mediocrity. So, I figured I would ask the kind community of people who have played a lot of eroge if there is anything out there that might cater to my tastes. Obviously everyone has their different tastes, but I know there are games to cater to everyone. If you have a suggestion, a small description would be nice, too. Things I'd like to avoid: Rape. Not big on that. Especially if there's crying. Nothing will deflate my boner faster than a girl crying and begging to stop. Anal. Not a fan of that, either. I'll tolerate it in small doses, but if it's the main focus of the H-scenes, hard pass. Yaoi/yuri games. Bestiality. I don't mind animal ears and such (hell, Nekopara is what got me into this genre, I love catgirls and such), but that's about as far into the animal kingdom as I'm willing to dip my willy. NTR. That's not to say it can't be present, but I don't want it to be a focal point. Bad but avoidable ending where you lose the girl: acceptable. MC literally being cucked as part of the storyline: No. Convincing a girl who is taken but unhappy to leave and be with you: Acceptable. Playing an MC trying to break up a marriage by being all rapey/trying to break the woman: No. Things I consider positive points: A gripping story. I've played a few games that legitimately made me tear up, and I love it. Adult MC. I know the old "high school kids" trope makes up the majority of games, but I'm a college graduate, and I'd prefer a relatable character and scenario. This isn't hugely important though, so don't let a high school MC discourage you from recommending a gem. Simple gameplay. A few choices or a fun minigame here and there is perfectly OK, but I'm looking to kick back, enjoy a story, and maybe fap a little, not learn rocket surgery. Proper endings. I dislike open endings, and I want closure in my story. None of that "harem protagonist runs off into the sunset being chased by a crowd of girls, having not actually chosen" trope. Animated H-scenes. Always a bonus. Games can still be fine without them, of course. Finally, here's what I've already played, and a little about what I though about them, for reference: Nekopara: loved it Boob Wars: high quality H scenes, amusing dialogue, I enjoyed it Nekonin ExHeart: wasn't a big fan, story was blah. Doubt I'll be trying future entries. Cho Dengeki Stryker: Absolutely loved this one. Long story, interesting characters. Unique in that the MC is fully voice. Bonus points for full blown anime cutscenes. My Girlfriend is President: read this entirely because the title made me curious. Funny, but unremarkable. Though one of the heroines is a genderswapped schoolgirl version of Vladimir Putin, so that was... different. Fureraba: Story wasn't interesting until late into the game after you had chosen a girl. It was a tedious slog to get there, but a decent payoff. It made you care about them. Princess Evangile: I once called it bad, but it does get a lot better if you can push through the frankly terrible common route and pick a heroine . Shuffle: Another unremarkable one. Only played it because I saw it had an anime. Maybe should have watched the anime first, then I would have known it was mediocre and not bothered. Clannad: The story in this one was so good I kept playing even after realizing it wasn't actually an eroge. Onion ninjas abound. Wolf Tails: Short but sweet. A good story, adorable endings, and equally adorable heroines. Shining Song Starnova: Really loved this one, it felt like it was about real people and tackled real problems, from PTSD, to corrupt businessmen, right down to the real life effects of internet trolls hacking people's personal information. The Ditzy Demons are in Love with Me: I chose it due to the fact it was the same artists as Nekopara. The heroines were either overwhelmingly adorable, or boring to the point of complete disinterest. This was the case with ALL the heroines in the game, and the uninteresting ones were a majority. Worth playing for the good ones, though. Just depends on your tastes. It's not particularly long, though, so don't go in expecting an engaging story. Katawa Shoujo: Play this game. The characters are all fantastic, even ones I initially hated grew on me. This game has some of the best writing I've come across in a VN. Song of Saya: Very good story, I played through it in one sitting. The sex scenes were not the kind to spank it to, rather they added to the story. Most were jarring as opposed to actually being sexy. If You Love Me, then Say So!: Not bad, but I only really liked 2 of the 5 heroines. The Sagara Family: A great Nukige, glad it was recommended. All of the heroines have endearing qualities, there wasn't any one person that I disliked, which is unusual. Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai: I've only played through one of the stories, but it was enjoyable. A super short common route, followed by a fairly long character route. Followed by a second, equally long after story for each character. It's nearly drama free, so it's one that I'll come back to when I want a stress free VN. Eroge! ~H mo Game mo Kaihatsu Zanmai~: I tried this one after seeing the hentai for it... but wow. It was NOT good. It would have been one thing if the animation had been made after, but apparently the anime predates the game. The art was really odd and often made the character's faces look completely wrong, and oh my god the voice acting... I chose to pursue the brunette girl from the hentai, but her VA during the sex scenes was a total buzzkill. Ever seen the move Beetlejuice? You know that scene where they throw sheets over their heads to try and scare Lydia and her family out of the house? They comical ghost wails are pretty much exactly what the voice acting came out as from the sex scenes in this VN. I ended up laughing through some parts. Art and voice acting aside, it wasn't terrible (pretty standard Nukige fare), but if you add those in it was awful. Boku To Nurse No Kenshuu Nisshi: This one is adorable. It's a linear story with no routes or choices, you just watch as the MC and the Heroine fall in love very naturally. It's definitely still a Nukige, though, so lots of sex scenes. Only downside is that it's very short. Even taking your time, it'll be over within three hours.

Honestly, it was fairly recently that I happened upon the genre. I was bored, having had some time off due to illness. I was on the mend, but my doctor's note didn't permit me to return to work for another few days. I scrolled around a bunch of websites, aimlessly wandering and checking out things like the steam forums. Then I happened upon some discussion involving a game called Nekopara. The discussion basically mentioned that the patches that were downloadable from offsite had some choice content that the devs had to remove in order to post the product on Steam. My curiosity being piqued, I ended up installing both the game and the patch. Now, this is where my story may diverge from the average. I'm sure that many people enjoyed the game's fairly simply storyline and sex scenes, but I had a particularly strong connection to the MC. See, the story is about a man of undetermined age (I'd assume mid 20s) who has finished his college courses to become a pastry chef and open his own restaurant. Thing is, I am also a chef who dreams of one day opening a shop of my own. I was able to slot myself right into "being" the MC. And that, as they say, was that. When you become emotionally invested in an eroge, it's unlike any other form of pornographic content. I'm sure everyone here knows what I mean. I'm still a relative newcomer to eroge in general (I've played maybe 10 of them), but I think I'll be into the genre for the long haul.
