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

[QUOTE=topic10;37531809]About the discussion going on, saying that this game will help talk with girls or shy girls. Well if it gave people confidence and the oportunity to work on that on a personal level, well, I'm not going to be the one saying that it's a bad thing.[/QUOTE] Thanks for understanding what I (mostly) meant.

[QUOTE=TheLolrus;37532864]It certainly has me in a depressed mood, although I wasn't exactly happy this week to begin with. I feel like the sadness is just part of the experience; once it wears off I'll feel better about myself than I did before I started playing. I'm curious about the effect the music has on the overall game experience. I've mostly been playing without SFX or music turned on, though I did listen to the music for the last third or so of Shizune's arc. Is this a fuckup on my part?[/QUOTE] Yes, the music is pretty good and makes the overall experience better.

The music is one of the best parts! I learnt the menu music on guitar the other day.

You should turn it on when you're doing another play through. I still listen to the OST while playing other games now. It's just great :) or maybe it sounds great because of the associated feelings that I have with it. no idea which one...

Just started playing this yesterday. I felt a bit forced into Emi's arc when I decided I would [sp]just run a bit more[/sp] From there it was a few more :3 faces and I was suckered in. I really wanted to go with Rin though, so it's kind of a pain to see her right across from me and give a total of zero fucks. I guess I'll save that for next playthrough. [editline]9/4/2012/[/editline] [sp]okay she literally just walked in on us having sex and was "disappointed". God fucking dammit next time I shouldn't be so healthy[/sp]

[QUOTE=YourFriendJoe;37511754]No fuck you all you can't resist [I]this[/I] [IMG]http://r-a-d.io/ks//sprites/miki/miki_whistle.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] This about a hundred times, Miki was better than any of the actual routes.

[QUOTE='[Green];37546249']This about a hundred times, Miki was better than any of the actual routes.[/QUOTE] Would be interesting if Miki had an actual route but I don't think she's better than the actual routes with what we currently have.

gimme a kenji route I'm genuinely interested in Kenji's story. He always seems like he's completely insane, but he occasionally says something completely normal. And then seeing how tired he looks behind those glasses, it really made me feel bad for him.

It's hard to be the last sane man on Earth.

I was forced into a picnic, and it's much worse than it sounds. Also, beware Rin's path. Seriously. All of the goddamn feels. One more playthrough and I'll finally get her good end, and 100% completion. :3 (Also, protip: Hanako and Rin have 3 ending each, instead of two.) And you think that sex bit was an awkward situation, just wait until the lemons...Oh dear god, the lemons...

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;37558928]You haven't got her good ending yet? You ain't felt feels yet, son.[/QUOTE] Rin's path is a hit or miss. You either like it and felt a lot of feels or you felt disconnected with it and felt almost no feels. Sadly I felt the latter.

[QUOTE=XKrieg;37560734]Rin's path is a hit or miss. You either like it and felt a lot of feels or you felt disconnected with it and felt almost no feels. Sadly I felt the latter.[/QUOTE] I think disconnection is kinds Rin's thing anyway. I made it to the good ending and still barely understood anything about her.

You need to be artsy and a little bit sideways to enjoy Rin's story. I found the awkwardness quite charming and she became my favourite.

I guess. I just felt like by the end of her arc I should know more about her than I did. Maybe I just need to go through it again.

That was the point though, you weren't really meant to understand her.

Shit. I felt terrible at the end of the arc, like I was supposed to understand Rin and just failed.

Just finished Rin's path. I guess it's a common theme here that things fuck up after sex, at least that's what I've seen so far. It's more than that though, neither Rin or Emi were really letting me in until right at the end, like I couldn't even begin to care for them and their problems. A girl was running from me with no legs, and I was being pushed away from someone who had no arms. It hit deep and I felt more like shit the more I thought about it. Was I loving them or just fixing their problems? Would they let nobody in if I hadn't come around? I'm a highschooler, not some sort of romantic deity that you can fuck and pour your problems into. Not what I was expecting, and I sure as fuck hope it doesn't apply to anybody else. They were of the same group, and I guess they didn't know much about each-other. I've still got Shizune, Hanako, and Lilly (at least looking forward to her). Not everybody has to have the same veil and dodge around my help. At least I hope not. [editline]6th September 2012[/editline] Also why the fuck does Misha have a Bush - Cheney Teeshirt? Going to visit Shizune's family, hope it isn't all that bad. [editline]niggers[/editline] [sp]Welp just got tied to a chair. Can't say I was expecting that.[/sp] [editline]dudestopreadingthis[/editline] And now [sp]she's avoiding me. Okay if I go through the same problem I'm going to flip my shit.[/sp]

I'm have a feeling someone really, really hates this thread.

LuaChobo is just being childish and calling ME childish when I accuse him so.

And you're just giving him attention, so drop it. Also, Katawa Touhou: [IMG]http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/296848_413853518677995_1880353277_n.jpg[/IMG]

Those are pretty damn cute.

Now there are three of them...

Just finished every good ending for every path. Probably my first visual novel ever and I damn near cried when Lilly, the last path I took [sp]almost left for Scotland[/sp] Thank you all for showing me this amazing story.

Dat Rin.

I love this soundtrack. Also, that's some straight up dedication right there Lua. Hm. I need to stop lurking on Facepunch, maybe hit the gym. Delete Facebook. Make something of myself.

Couple of people on /vg/ even work out after Emi's route (don't really know why but I guess it counts as encouragement to get healthy so that's better than nothing.) Personally it was just an amazing read sprinkled with moments that tear you up. Took a week to finish and a weekend to get over it Hell I still haven't gotten over it, and I'm not even sure why you'd wanna get rid of it. But I guess I have to get on with my life and stuff like that. I'm glad I didn't pass this up after finding time in my month to try it.
