The Visual Novel Megathread: Reading till your eyes bleed - Games

Oh wow. I totally forgot about Lupin III. [img]http://i.imgur.com/qQxDz.jpg[/img] I need to go watch it again. (For those who don't know, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupin_III]it's a pretty old, but good, manga/anime[/url])

I made a Hanako in the laziest way possible. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/pixelhanako500wip2.png[/img]

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34506638][url]http://steinsgate.jp/[/url] but can't read shit[/QUOTE] Doing some work with chrome's auto-translate feature, I eventually came across this: [url]https://shop.digi-goods.com/item.php?id=785[/url] It's about [url=https://www.google.com/search?q=3%2C990+yen+to+dollars]$52 US[/url] currently. However in order to buy it you'd need to make an account, but they do accept most major credit cards. I'm not sure where they ship though. Haven't looked that far. If you use chrome's auto-translate feature, and hover over the buttons, it's pretty easy to tell what they do. For most of the site, yellow/orange means "continue". There may be other places you can get it however. Possibly even an even more english-friendly alternative. [editline]2nd February 2012[/editline] [img]http://i.imgur.com/p9hBd.png[/img] ... I spied this wonderful creation in the background of the narration. now i want to read a VN that's centered around a sass-talking snowman who doesn't take shit from nobody, with that guy up there as the star. nothing even has to happen and i'd probably still read it anyway.

[QUOTE=bulletshield;34507640]Uhm am I the only one who thinks this is damn expensive[/QUOTE] No.

yeah tbh that's extortionate pricing, i looked closely to see if it was some kind of bundle pack or deal [editline]2nd February 2012[/editline] you'd think for that kind of price tag they'd throw in all the music collections too

Does this game count as a visual novel? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0ov1E.jpg[/IMG] If so, I strongly reccomend it

STEINS;GATE is the goddamn shit. Just sayin'

Finished KS. Was pretty good, I ended up getting into the Emi arc with the decisions I made but somehow I got the good ending.

(shouldn't have to warn you. but [highlight]DON'T CLICK ANY OF THIS[/highlight] if you haven't read G-Senjou no Maou) [QUOTE=HeroicPillow;34492604] Thoughts on the underlying plot so far: (obviously spoils everywhere) [sp]Judging from one of the earliest possible moments I can remember in the story, that green-haired kid (i suck at names) had a conversation with kyouzuke that touched no the topic of "Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde" a little. Further into the story (however far I may be), headaches appear to be a common plotpoint throughout. So far i've only come to two conclusions: 1. Azai is Maou, but obviously only subconciously, and possibly brought about from his deep suppressed emotional issues as touched upon by his therapist. Although, this seems like such an obvious answer, as if the writers are almost daring you to take this method of thinking in order to lead you on. 2. Azai has a long lost brother, who is Maou.[/sp][/QUOTE] HAHAHAHAHAHAH [sp]Sooooo i guess my wild shot in the dark #2 is correct then. They really played that "kyouzuke (fuck spelling) is just mentally ill" card for a long time. I just started chapter 5 I think? I don't know, haru is in the channel area getting strangled by her brother. I even made that wild guess looong before they even hinted at kyou having siblings.[/sp]

[QUOTE=aliendrone123;34508075]Finished KS.

Fun fact: Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory both have sequels that were not released in the US but were in the PAL regions. Why? Because Nintendo is fun by a bunch of cocks.

Ah darn, I knew I forgot something about that GIF. The FMV's are great avatar material.

Finally I found a use for my dusty DS.

Hotel Dusk was one of my first DS games and I loved it.

Ace Attorney; Justice For All Case 3 is an UTTER mindfuck. Prepare to think CRAZY, this case is probably the toughest one you'll ever experience.

I still have to finish Trials and Tribulations, damnit. Then again I've been spoiled about the final case so I don't feel very motivated.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;34508326]I still have to finish Trials and Tribulations, damnit. Then again I've been spoiled about the final case so I don't feel very motivated.[/QUOTE] Trials and Tribulations is the best game in the series.

I'll write a summary for 999 and Ever 17 when I can, I'll play some more through Ever 17 before that though.

I've yet to play Hotel Dusk though, I've had for ages but never have bothered to try it.

Just going to throw out a recommendation for Planetarian. Nice little post-apocalyptic story you can easily read in one evening (it's only 2-4 hours long). [QUOTE=Craigewan;34501055]Wasn't there one that that was translated and released commercially recently? Seem to remember hearing about it but I can't remember the name[/QUOTE] Kara no Shoujo is the only thing that comes to mind, but that was released over half a year ago.

[QUOTE=Jorori;34507902]Does this game count as a visual novel? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0ov1E.jpg[/IMG] If so, I strongly reccomend it[/QUOTE] Haven't Finished it yet but damn hell it was good. It was one of the games in my DS that surprised me so much. Also [sp] that freaking switch thing where you have to use both fingers/thumbs it was so cool yet made me feel so dumb because it literally took me 2 hours + walkthrough just to figure it out.[/sp]

[b]9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors[/b] [thumb]http://www.aksysgames.com/999/files/wallpaper/wallpaper_cast_1024x768.jpg[/thumb] [B]Developed by:[/B] Chunsoft [B]Released:[/B] November 16, 2010 for the DS, no PC release [B]Length:[/B] 10 - 20 hours [B]Erotic content:[/B] No [B]Genre:[/B] Puzzle, mystery, thriller [B]Synopsis:[/B] Nine people have been kidnapped by a mysterious man called Zero and forced to participate in a survival game known as the "Nonary Game". Each one has a bracelet numbered 1–9, which they must use to pass through doors numbered 1–9, to reach the exit before 9 hours run out and the ship in which they are sinks. Various puzzles must be solved in order to advance through the ship and reach the exit, while uncovering the mysteries behind the Nonary Game. [B]Opinion:[/B] A fantastic game/VN; immersive story, brilliant puzzles, great characters and a lot of mystery. There are 6 different endings, 3 bad, 2 neutral and one good. The bad endings are a little creepy, I'm sure you'll get a nice spine tingling sensation if you get them. To achieve the good ending you must get one of the neutral endings, so the game cannot be completed properly without playing through at least twice. However there are a lot of different choices, and each choice can put you down a different route, meaning different puzzles and a different story. 999 is one of my favourite DS games and I highly recommend it. [B]Alert:[/B] There is minor violence and gore as you can witness people dying. Does this count as erotic content?

Umineko epilogue has been TLed- seems to be a couple of interesting things there including [sp]Confirming that Shannon and Kannon are the same person[/sp] [url]http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=3927670&postcount=26755[/url]

[QUOTE=HeroicPillow;34506522]Oh wow. I totally forgot about Lupin III.[/QUOTE] Ah I remember watching it I remember it being a total mess

Just finished You's arc of Ever17, all I can say is wow that is some nice writing although its my first route i'm already pretty beat. Need to do all the other routes though to get the good ending. And just like KS the main menu music hits me emotionally too. [sp] KID Y U ALWAYS TALKING/CHASING COCO?[/sp]
