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

[sp]So maybe I am a pornstar, on the side, struggling to make ends meet, fighting the feminist agenda and you can't even spot me your crumbs, you bastard.[/sp]

So all this talk of "disabilities" and "education" - I'm about to start uni and I'm applying for a bit of help with a few things - is really starting to make me feel like Hisao. ^^

Seriously. Every time Rin says something I have to push my English to it's limits. I end up squinting and reading [B][I]really[/I][/B] slowly.

I just read about the leaked beta endings... NOPE.

Why is this thread active again.

Is it wrong to talk about something we like? some of us are new here and some are even new to the game.

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;37624196]I just read about the leaked beta endings... NOPE.[/QUOTE] I'm glad they rewrote it because those were simply godawful.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;37625814]I was asking why this thread was ressurected, not saying that this is some sort of crime. Get your head out of your arse.[/QUOTE] That's a pretty stupid question to ask in a game thread, if someone new plays it then of course there is always room for it to be bumped. Or old players reviving it because they played through it again. If this was a years old news thread, then your question might be appropriate.

Based on her background story I just know this route will have even more feels than any of the others. sadly, it'll never happen and I'll just have to fill the void by reading some fanmade route for her.

Sorry I'm confused. Are they actually adding new routes or did I misread something here?

It was an April fools character, it's not going to be added officially.

Ohh okay. Oh well. I'm partially considering replaying some of this again since I got a new laptop w/o any progress on it. Just depends if I want my weekend spent on a feelercoaster.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;37626788]I can really do without it because it'll just be depressing as fuck.[/QUOTE] Yeah, because whatever happens in the route she'll die eventually. :( But hey, it could not be about her mortality but about something else entirely, just like the other routes are not about their disabilities.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;37625716]I'm glad they rewrote it because those were simply godawful.[/QUOTE] Shizune route sounded more interesting, with more polish and proper pacing I would probably say the beta route would've ended up better. Maybe not as happy, but I think a bittersweet happy ending is always nice. The Hanako route though sounds kind of contrived. Oh, and by nice, I mean WHY IS THIS SALINE FLUID COMING OUT OF MY EYES.

tbh they weren't even good endings. it's the sign of a shitty writer to fall back on suicide OH AND THEN THE GUY JUMPED INTO THE TRAIN THATS HOW SAD THEY WAS when you could actually do some proper extrapolation of their thoughts and how they deal with it (or fail to)

I think I am the only person on the face of the planet that does not think a Saki route would have to end in tragedy. Abloobloobloo she's going to die absolutely for certain but so are the rest of the characters. It's a matter of when it happens. Because of his condition, Hisao is [I]probably[/I] going to die of a heart attack before he gets to be too old but nobody cares about his story ending in overdramatic teenage angst fanfiction. I'm pretty sure the main subplot of a Saki route would be helping her come to terms with the fact that she's going to die, if she's not over it already by the time Hisao actually interacts with her.

Bingo, that's practically it. As I said don't get your hopes too up it's only like in chapter 1, 2600 words so far :v:

[QUOTE=Novangel;37639829]Bingo, that's practically it. As I said don't get your hopes too up it's only like in chapter 1, 2600 words so far :v:[/QUOTE] Will there be branching storylines? :P

That's a very interesting idea actually... No doubt it'd increase workload by a billion but it'd still be cool as hell. I'll get back to you on that :v:

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;37639516]I'm sorry but in what universe does a good ending have a major character commit suicide because of a depression?[/QUOTE] Good question, but then again, a bittersweet ending doesn't mean that everything is resolved and everyone is happy. In life you can't really win it all.
