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

[QUOTE=Feuver;34566194]Well, Katawa Shoujo, there's also [url=http://scoutshonour.com/donttakeitpersonallybabeitjustaintyourstory/]Don't take it personally baby, it just ain't your story[/url] that's free. Otherwise, some of them are simply impossible to aquire in a legal manner, since they are not sold on the internet or to Credit card other than Japanese. I won't link to any because it's unclear weither one is impossible to acquire or not. Clannad, for an example. I can't buy it on the internet, as it's only sold in DVD-format. (Anywhere I've searched, even on their official website.)[/QUOTE] Another thing, do you know when this game was released?

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34567764]not really, they're both pretty much impossible to obtain legally anywhere but japan[/QUOTE] Touhou is hard to get anywhere as it's only sold at conventions, and I'm pretty sure the dev is OK with it being distributed because of this.

[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;34568021]Touhou is hard to get anywhere as it's only sold at conventions, and I'm pretty sure the dev is OK with it being distributed because of this.[/QUOTE] I doubt the devs care about a game being distributed for free in a country they don't sell it in anyway. they're gaining fans and not losing any profit

[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;34568021]Touhou is hard to get anywhere as it's only sold at conventions, and I'm pretty sure the dev is OK with it being distributed because of this.[/QUOTE] Yeah, pretty much this. The dev is ZUN btw.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34568084]It's not the same dude.[/QUOTE] I don't see how. For the most part they're all totally unavailable to non-Japanese customers.

[QUOTE=<Insert Name>;34567855]Another thing, do you know when this game was released?[/QUOTE] Don't take it personally was released a few months ago, it's not that old. Clannad is pretty old, though. [editline]5th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34568267]I don't see how. For the most part they're all totally unavailable to non-Japanese customers.[/QUOTE] The problem is that these Devs need the money if you want to see sequels or other products from them. They aren't giving it away for free elsewhere, they just cannot afford the time or the money to send their products in other countries which doesn't care much for the genre. It's somewhat complicated. You can't really get their game very easily, but they still need whatever they can get.

[QUOTE=Feuver;34568274]Don't take it personally was released a few months ago, it's not that old. Clannad is pretty old, though. [/QUOTE] Just asking because of a few things that reminded me of KS.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34568267]I don't see how. For the most part they're all totally unavailable to non-Japanese customers.[/QUOTE] Except one is sold at cons by one drunk guy who doesn't care and the other is sold in retail stores by devs who do care.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;34558452]sorry no I think the prot. in Sharin was better than Senjou, but overall, Senjou wins on every other front.[/QUOTE] while i agree with you i think that theyr're very close in overall quality what have you got against sharin?

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34568452]Except one is sold at cons by one drunk guy who doesn't care and the other is sold in retail stores by devs who do care.[/QUOTE] retail stores in japan

Does anyone know how to unpack .arc files? I want to get at the artwork and sprites in Kira Kira.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34568702]retail stores in japan[/QUOTE] I would assume that you could also buy them online. I guess I should have been more general if you are gonna be so picky.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34569288]I would assume that you could also buy them online. I guess I should have been more general if you are gonna be so picky.[/QUOTE] some of them yeah but the more obscure ones are generally retail only [editline]6th February 2012[/editline] another thing is that very few of these games are even licensed in countries other than japan which makes downloading them totally legal anywhere except japan

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34569337]some of them yeah but the more obscure ones are generally retail only[/QUOTE] Ok seriously, what is your point? That because it's hard to get that somehow makes it ok and we should be allowed to blatantly talk about it and post links everywhere? That shit gets you banned in FA. No warez is one of the cardinal rules of the forum. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/fp_rules.php[/url] ------------------------------ [B]Piracy And Leaks[/B] You won't banned for warez/leaks unless: • You provide links • You ask for links • You hint at where to download • You openly declare or brag about it Posting screenshots/videos of pirated/leaked content is fine. ------------------------------ So honestly if you're gonna do it then do it in a PM or through Steam or something.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34569337] another thing is that very few of these games are even licensed in countries other than japan which makes downloading them totally legal anywhere except japan[/QUOTE] lol [editline]5th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34569501]but exceptions are obviously made (again using touhou as an example)[/QUOTE] It's a terrible example for reasons that have already been explained to you. A better example would be anime but since that would go against your argument I guess you won't be using it. [editline]5th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34569501] to be honest though I don't see how either of our opinions are relevant, what we really need is a moderator's input[/QUOTE] No, no we don't because they'll say the exact same thing I just said. Seriously, ask Orkel, heck you don't even have to ask him just ask Fast Anime.

[QUOTE=tommo400;34567049]She seems to be under his employ, I don't know I figured that might require experience or knowledge of the law or something, but she's doing a fine job regardless.[/QUOTE] She hangs out with Phoenix "Nick" Wright for reasons you'll probably figure out as you go. It's nothing overly complicated either, or that spoilerrific, for that matter. I can tell you how I see it if you wanna know.

So is Katawa Shoujo pretty much the only free VN in this thread?

[QUOTE=MJS_Killer;34570322]So is Katawa Shoujo pretty much the only free VN in this thread?[/QUOTE] pretty much

[QUOTE=MJS_Killer;34570322]So is Katawa Shoujo pretty much the only free VN in this thread?[/QUOTE] yep, now go mow some lawns so you can buy your chinese girl gaems

That's too bad, some of the games in this thread look like they could be fun, but I don't know if I'd be interested in them enough to pay for them.

Playing "My girlfriend is the President". Shit's hilarious

[QUOTE=Banned?;34570506][url]http://scoutshonour.com/donttakeitpersonallybabeitjustaintyourstory/[/url] Free.[/QUOTE] I might try that after I finish all the Katawa Shoujo endings. Do you know if it's good?

[QUOTE=MJS_Killer;34570852]I might try that after I finish all the Katawa Shoujo endings. Do you know if it's good?[/QUOTE] Nope, but it's been well received.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/AqWqD.png[/img] That's not what it means!? Awkwaaard.

I've finished all endings of Saya no Uta. While being creepy as fuck, I found it to be an enjoyable read. Now I'm going to read Starry Sky ~Spring~.
