I had many troubles with the music as well, but i ended up using this 'trick' i read somewhere; that when the game starts to get laggy you click on the X to close the window/game and then cancel it, the music then loads fine for a while... i played with my mouse cursor just on the X and when a change of scene came (and therefore and obvious change in the BGM track) i applied the above trick. It's a bit more troublesome when the change in track happens in the middle of scene (coinciding with a change of mood in the particular scene, like a normal conversation having a turn to the comedic or rom

To each his/her own of course, but that little part there about 'different than the norm' is incorrect: the typical tropes used to create 'sad endings' are quite common and quite old as well. Plenty of them used on VN's and all sorts of media. Here's an old, super commonly used/done one; creating an emotional connection between the audience and a prominent character throughout the story and have that character killed, mostly in a dramatic fashion, at the last scene nearing the end (at the height of conflict resolution or 'climax'), therefore creating greater impact and furthering the sense

Hmm, seems nice. *listed*

Life's are overrated.

Heh, was planning to make a review of this myself since i played it recently but you've beat me to it. No matter though, as your review is quite good and i agree with pretty much everything. The only thing i would add/say is that the game can be quite the stubborn bastard when it comes to the music, not it's quality mind you, on that i agree with your assessment, but to the getting it to play properly part.

It's a bit of a complex story, sure, but it's not really a complicated read (and i'm not saying this out of some dumb smugness or anything), it's just perhaps the absolute need to follow a walkthrough (or two) for the first half of the game. Pretty long though... and i dare say it should've been even longer in some parts, especially at the extra 'new game+' endings, feels a bit incomplete there, like certain 'finale' implications are not taken into account properly, but i guess that should have required some other extra stuff put in the initial routes, and i guess the makers run out of mon

So none of you guys have played YU-NO? i was kinda hoping for a little discusion about it (to see if i can excise it out of my head). Heh.

Just finished YU-NO and wow.... just wow. Although it made me raaage! a few times, especially on the 'epilogue' part, game really likes to kick you in the balls some times... BUT talk about an epic story! wow... (did i mentioned that already?) Personally, a little unfulfilled thingy for me: Everyone should play this. 'nuff said.

I'm fine with sticking to 7 (which is supported, will continue to be for some time, and doesn't have 8's retarded stuff) so why would it be a problem for me?

Stopped reading there. (srlsy, what the hell would you do that for)

lol (forum needs a lol emoticon) nah too much hassle in turn to be googling shit deadlock it seems

Some of you guys are just too knowledgeable about this stuff; would it kill you to name the source of the character instead of just the name? (for those who either don't know or don't remember specific names)?

Ok, since interactivity is paramount to me, in addition to the generally used/accepted criteria of story, characters, art, etc, i'll be considering Interactivity/Replayability as well, as one of the main (if not the main) criteria used to evaluate, or more honestly perhaps, give my opinion, about certain eroge/vn i've played, starting with this one for the moment and perhaps some others later on. So, Critical Point: Interactivity/replayability: 25 different endings... need i say more? Ok, i'll expand a little bit: the game's a 'pure' VN type, meaning there's no gameplay, and no point a

lol ok 6/10 then

Implying that what i wrote isn't true. Also, 1/10 Stop posturing.

Having read the latest discussion in this thread i must point out a couple of things: - Implying that sadder, 'darker' and/or melodramatic equals better 'depth' (deeper stuff!!... which i suppose equates to better quality) is ridiculous. - Implying that people who don't like forced melodrama and depressing stuff are somewhat superficial and/or incapable of understanding such is especially ridiculous. - Implying (or rather, outright claiming) that VN's (translated, and so far) are not easy to read and understand, that is, very simple writing, is entirely dependant upon one's own readin

Agreed, especially for rpg and strategy games. I'm not gonna pretend to have good knowledge of DirectX stuff, but i do know that having some newer/latest DirectX versions installed does not necesarily mean you have all the old versions required for some games to run installed. I've seen people have this problem for a game like Fallout/Fallout2.

Really? that's a strange thing for a windows OS given their tendency to continually drop more and more support and backwards compatibility features with each new OS release. Probably something to do with the version you used (perhaps one of them 'bare bones' versions) or a lack of something else (probably some old DX versions but they can be found on the net). Ive installed various oldie games from 96, 98, etc in W7 Ultimate without any or very little problems.

So Holiday photos eh? hehe... Thanks.

Tsk tsk

I'll give it a try... (i have the browser set to private browsing and this is the only place that i get this auto log out).

So i can log back in quicker? sure, but what about the auto-log out?

Ok, so i start writing a post, take a few minutes at it only to realize when finished that i've been automatically logged out. It's not really a big deal since i can just copy the post, but having to log in again is a nuisance. Can this be set somewhere in the profile settings or something or is it an unavoidable 'feature'? Thanks.
