Katawa Shoujo v2 - "Why can't I hold all these feels?" - Games

[QUOTE=Novangel;37382710]Play for the cripple fucking, get hit by the feel train. It has no brakes.[/QUOTE] Well that's the thing, (I know I'm coming back, I'm just trying to get perspective) I don't know how it can hit you so hard where all of the story centers around outcasts/depressed people. It's really hard for me to relate to it when there's always something that can be done to fix their problems, no matter the ailment. I dunno, it's honestly really sappy to me and i'm not one to be all about the feelings all the time. And it seems the girls never have a good time when they fuck from what i've seen it's so awkward and makes me shake my head at what they depict as banging

The character's are just normal everyday girls, yes they have disabilities but that doesn't define what they are.

[QUOTE=DentalDoctor;37384969]i dont like the awkward over dramatized shit they think is hooking up[/QUOTE] Well a game title like '現実的な障害者の出会い系シミュレータ' would be no fun would it? EDIT: Finished the Lilly Arc (good ending) about 10 minutes ago. Hands still shaking a little. I havn't felt such emotion since the burning of the Going Merry when I was ten. I'm a lazy, pessimistic, bored-with-life kinda guy yet it still managed to make me laugh about how manly I am. [sp]That is, not very. I nearly cried.[/sp]

Saving the best until last never disappoints. My completionist habits will make me explore everything but the community surrounding it will always make me come back for more!

Got the OST. Damn, Hanako's theme is awesome.

[video=youtube;kKPe6eTdLkE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKPe6eTdLkE[/video] I always wondered this, who's the person at the start of the video? Is it supposed to be Hisao?

I can only assume so since the first thing we see him do is knock back loads of pills.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;37388704]I can only assume so since the first thing we see him do is knock back loads of pills.[/QUOTE] Is that what those things are? Can't see shit with all that purple.

[QUOTE=YourFriendJoe;37388730]Is that what those things are? Can't see shit with all that purple.[/QUOTE] I see a pill bottle with pills near it, I see a character quickly putting something in his mouth, insert connect-the-dots reference.

Couldn't keep myself back, I only needed to see Hanako's neutral ending so I youtubed it. Fuck. This is beyond sad. This is like, almost on par with (sounding like a broken record) [sp]Hisao and Lilly in the field[/sp] in how sad it both is and how sad it made me.

Guess I should go do that.

[QUOTE=YourFriendJoe;37389040]I try not to go for the separate bad endings on the characters or neutral ones. Guess I should go do that.[/QUOTE] Well, I only got Hanako's good ending thus far. I just looked up her bad ending to see if it was 'shit got fucked up' bad or 'fuck this is sad' bad. Turns out it was the former and [sp]I didn't feel sorry for Hisao at all, the dumb cunt.[/sp]

Only saw that through youtube too, don't want to try to get it myself.

20km hike to go to now! Got Without Parity on my phone, this'll keep me distracted!

[QUOTE=XKrieg;37389764]Still, that's a painful thing to see. Only saw that through youtube too, don't want to try to get it myself.[/QUOTE] I only found it painful because [sp]Hanako just gave in to being a recluse again. Which is just real fucking sad[/sp]. Also, just tested it myself and Concord and especially Painful History make for a great soundtrack while walking home at 11 pm through soft rain.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;37387944]Got the OST. Damn, Hanako's theme is awesome.[/QUOTE] I literally cry every time I hear it.

[QUOTE=DDoSCat;37394907]I feel like it's maybe Hanako's Dad smoking or something, trying to hint at how the whole [sp]house fire[/sp] came to be.[/QUOTE] That's an interesting way to look at it.

Nope, Hanako's dad has a short-ish sidewards hair, the guy with his back turned has long, Hisao-like hair. So Hisao.

[QUOTE=Novangel;37395011]Nope, Hanako's dad has a short-ish sidewards hair, the guy with his back turned has long, Hisao-like hair. So Hisao.[/QUOTE] Agreed, guy standing behind Hanako in the family photo-esque part has totally different hair than the first guy, who looks to be Hisao in some new outfit.

It's Hisao wearing the school's uniform. He doesn't wear the jacket (at least, not in the few times we ever see him not in swaggervest form), just the shirt and tie.

I rewatched at the Hanako vid. I felt really sad. Knowing that i'll never play such a geat VN again. When i saw the little bit at the end, Act 3- Hide and seek, my eye's watered. Katawa shoujo was such an amazing experience, and i'll never get to experience it again. Doomish, your misha route is pretty fucking good, so i hope salty tears goes well for you. I'm looking forward to it.

But hey, let's just hope all the "spiritual successors" for KS will be just as good(Missing Stars, Love Despite and Salty Tears even though it's more of a humorous VN)

If you really want to read more, way better VNs, you should hop by the VN megathread, people will be glad to show you some way better ones than KS.

I knew about Missing stars and of course, salty tears. But i didn't know about Love Despite. That a fucking bunch!
