The hell... Why did I think this was food? Bah now I feel like an idiot. Oh well, still love me some baconbits. Wait wait wait. Gah perverts of the internet making me doubt myself. Google search indeed supports that anime for the word MarImite. however, looking deeper we find what I was thinking about: Marmite (play /ˈmɑrmaɪt/ MAR-myt) is the name given to two similar food spreads: the original British version, first produced in the United Kingdom and later South Africa, and a version produced in New Zealand. Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. So at leas

I just finished G-Senjou no Maou. I am planning to marathon watch the anime now, in respect for this amazing piece of art I have been allowed to experience. For my further thoughts, check out my final post over on the discussion thread I made for the game: https://erogegames.com/eroge-visual-novels/eroge-general-talk/429-g-senjou-no-maou-discussion-post7178/#post7178 There I talked about how I felt as I played through it, as well as my final rating of 10/10 and why I've given it that rating. I will repeat my final thought here: Edit: Sadly, for some reason I thought there was anim

... ...... ............. damn. It's over... it's finally over. The Fin is on my screen now in the other window. That was rough... damn rough. My eyes are welling up, and I keep heaving strong sighs. When the Fin finally showed it's face I couldn't help but laugh almost as crazily as Maou. This game... This crazy, insane, steamroller of intensity. I just... whew. They could have ended it at the credits, I was thinking things were all wrapped up. But I had a feeling that something was off. It seemed far too simple a death for Maou there at the end of the incident. And then the epilogue sta

I misjudged the length of the game as well. I knew it was long, but even after a good night's rest, I'm 4 more hours invested and it's still going strong. Things SHOULD be winding down, but knowing this game, there's still a chance of me being wrong. Hopefully I'll finish it up today, but who knows. In the meantime, I was going to play Kira Kira next, but part 6 doesn't want to download for some reason. -.- Adding some to my frustration at the very warm and humid weather I've been dealing with. This is July type weather in the 80F range, not stuff for mid march.

I can think of at least two fetishes that might fit this type of thread, however I don't think that's exactly what the OP is looking for. So my answer shall be Bacon Bits. Usually without the salad. I've been known to buy a container of it and just nibble on them like a jar of nuts by my computer.

I'm afraid I couldn't take it. I have indeed stopped for a bit. Watching some Penn and Teller 'fool us'. I enjoy good light entertainment as much as the heavy stuff from this game. But my stress levels are extremely high after playing it so much, so I need to back off before I break something. I don't think it takes anything away from the game, I will still finish it, probably later this evening, but I think it's better for my sanity to take a break like this. If for nothing else than to savor the end when I do get to it, instead of wearing myself out by rushing.

I think this revolves around a concept of a 'main' heroine. For many VN's, and games like Harvest Moon. There is usually a strong contender for the most average and common match up with the main character. The anime seem to support this, and I wonder if it isn't a general Japanese trend to like those characters more. Those of us who are into these games and the anime itself from other languages tend to like the more ab-normal types. I suppose it may say something about Japanese culture, vs our view as 'Otaku'. Either that or it's published media trying to brainwash the masses into being what i

eeeee. This is intense. I've played non-stop for several hours now since finishing up the Mizuha parts, but the game does NOT let up. I realize now that years ago I have indeed watched the anime for this game. I had a sense of Deja-vu in Tsubaki's route that I couldn't seem to shake, and as things got going here after the school kidnapping I had suspicions on the major spoiler of the game. I'm extremely pleased with how even with that the game kept me doubting my thoughts until the big reveal. I'm not done yet, things just got a little crazy with the events, and I'm left feeling a bit stunned.

Ugh, the Tsukihime anime was crap. Maybe because it was made so long ago, but they changed too many things making it feel like a horrible rip off from the novel. I honestly liked the Tsukihime parts in Carnival Phantasm more.

Of course I will. But still have quite a bit to go I assume. Still getting chapter 4 updates between scenes. I'm already highly amused at some of the things I said about Yuki. I still think she's pretty hot as a character, but like everyone in this game it seems her core has some deep darkness. Such a shame... but damn. Maou is badass.

Finished up Mizuha's good end just now. That felt very artificial and drawn out. The H-scenes were boring, and I just didn't feel like the story evolved much as it went on. I suppose it comes to a nice conclusion, or at least nicer than the Kanon routes. But I'm still disappointed with Mizuha as a whole, I expected something better from her. Onward to the good stuff I suppose.

Welp, just got the Mizuha bad end. For as short as that was, the CG's in that path were pretty good. Her H-scene was too short, but there are aspects of that sort of submissive play that I do enjoy. Also, we get to see some Ecchi Yuki, which wasn't bad at all. Really though, the whole side story for this girl is again feeling very weak. I don't trust Yuki farther than I could throw her. At this immediate point, I expect she's totally using Mizuha to try and keep the main character away from Haru. Mizuha herself seems totally different from what she is in the 'main' storyline. Much like Kan

That's supposed to be Saber? Reminds me more of Arcueid from Tsukihime.

I think after only playing part way, I can see that everything will come down to Haru. But I'm a completionist. So I play the others as I go along. 3 hours or so since I posted this, I finished the Kanon 'good' ending. I suppose it was better than the bad ending, but it still left me with a feeling of not being finished. I can't help but compare it to the Tsubaki ends, that end up wrapping things up and talking about how their lives will be after the main events in the novel. Kanon doesn't seem to get the same level of completeness. The incest is never explained or dealt with, and thei

Went ahead and signed up here. Kinda surprised it took me so long to do so. Filled out what I could on the list of what games I remember playing, and which ones I finished or not. haika's visual novel list Kinda wished they had some of the stats that places like MyAnimeList have. I'm curious how my overall VN play times might compare.

Alright, so I've been playing this game. And I know several people think extremely highly of it. It has great reviews on the database, and I've been enjoying it so far. Starting this up to try and talk spoiler-free about the game as I go, and my frustration about certain things. I'm having a hard time with the linear route progression thing. I've completed both Tsubaki ends, and have just gotten the Kanon Bad End. And decided to start all this before I go for the good end, then get back to what I feel is the main storyline with Haru. I didn't notice it as much with the Tsubaki routes,

When I first got into VN's I did indeed buy some games. I've posted the story elsewhere here on these forums in the how did you get into eroge thread, so I won't re-type it here. To a question of if I would buy any now... that's difficult. My financial situation is in a horrible state. To be able to even entertain the idea of paying money for something it would have to be amazing. Even then, I probably wouldn't take that extra effort, when my money could be used on other more vital things. I have a hard time fooling myself that money I spend on games, music, movies, etc goes to the prope

I really don't think spoilers come into this. Most anime are a far cry from the games themselves. Like watching a movie and thinking it spoils a book. 100% of the time the book has more info, more depth, and more enjoyment than a movie version. Assuming the book comes first of course. Sure, it's great to want to watch the original first, then watch the movie/anime. But sometimes it seems like this is setting yourself up for disappointment. To be honest in most of those VN's with anime I listed before, I watched the anime first, then played the game, then found myself watching the anime agai

I've watched a ton of anime, and the more I think about it, the more I find that I've seen anime of popular VN's well before I played the game. Tsukihime, Fate/Stay, Clannad, Air, All of them I watched the anime versions of first. I suppose it comes down to the fact that I watch tons of current anime, and don't always have a translated VN to play in english before the anime is aired.

Ful's Mil, or Tears and farm the shellfish portals on that Lake map where you first meet the Afnac.

Yeah, I didn't even know about the shogun while doing serawi's route. And something tells me you don't meet the Elf Chief in Yuela's route either. So they seem very different.

Found this surfing the net, and think it belongs here. Ayup.

Yeah the inconsistancies between the Deardrops routes in length really is a bit off. However I think it's better that they did it this way than trying to stretch them out just to match length. Kanade and Riho's routes were the longest, and I think the best. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed Yayoi's route as well, even though it was short. However... Rimu's route seemed overly random and just kind of thrown together with little to no depth.
