The Visual Novel Megathread: Reading till your eyes bleed

[CheeseMan]

a lot of the creatures' endings kill you (like the spider girl)

lmao

[QUOTE=Daedulas;34755677]Can't you use a Emulator for windows versions?

it's been awhile since I tried out Ubuntu and it's emulators for windows programs. But I'm sure there are a few that work on WINE.[/QUOTE]

Key word: netbook.

Just running Steam through WINE on this thing slows it to a crawl, a VN would probably make it kill itself.

So Majikoi has a great soundtrack, right

I realise I've been singing its praises a lot but in all honesty It's probably the best VN I've read properly, even if it is only partially translated as of now.

So it is my birthday today. And for my birthday, a group of my friends made me this nifty little thing. (PS the bad ones are bad on purpose)

[QUOTE=Bokito;34754003]Grow some balls and finish it, the endings are amazing.[/QUOTE]

[Taggart]

Here's a [url=http://sprucefir.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/majikoi-maji-de-watashi-ni-koishinasai-visual-novel/]link[/url] to a review which sums things up pretty nicely.

Essentially it tells the story of a group of friends at a High School/Academy that hosts not just regular students but also Samurai warriors training at the local temple. All five of the main girls are warriors in training.

Normally I'd write it off as just some harem eroge but what sets it apart is its excellent voice acting. The review has a full list but here's a list of the main characters and their voice actors;

[quote]Momoyo: Sakaki (Azumanga), Rider (F/SN), Tsugumi (Ever17)
Kazuko (Wanko): Nagamine (Seinarukana), Seira (Chaos Head)
Miyako: Oumi (Saya no Uta), Shirayuki (Sispuri), Putina (Osadai)
Yukie: Riannon (Tears to Tiara), Ririko (Sharin), Mikuru (Haruhi)
Chris: Tama-Nee (To Heart2), Hinagiku (Hayate), Akiha (Tsukihime)
Capt (leader): Kamina (Gurren Lagenn), Ishida (Bamboo Blade), Ein (Katahane)
Gakuto (buff guy): Trunks (DBZ), Mao (Code Geass), Dororo (Keroro Gunsou)
Moro (gloomy guy): Hidemi (Host Club), Shin (Gundam Seed Destiny)[/quote]

It's also really quite funny. The humour's top notch and considering it's an eroge the characters are well written.

Here's a progress report on the translation:

[quote]There are the main routes, the bonus routes, the true(Agave) route and the Hermit pseudo-route(This one's very freaky).

I've been following Majikoi for a bit now. Though I can't bring myself to read it before a 100% patch is out.

The Katawa one is way better.

[Feuver]

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34768828]Like CheeseMan said, some of them do kill you.[/QUOTE]

And some of them do eat you.

[DiscoInferno]

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34776943]The Katawa one is way better.[/QUOTE]

Not played that one. Might do when I get to KS.

[Mako]

I remember playing Nanaca Crash waayy before I got into anime related stuff.

How old is that game anyway?

[chunkymonkey]

[QUOTE=Feuver;34777001]And some of them do eat you.

Well I would imagine that being eaten and dying goes hand in hand.

[Mako]

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34777189]Well I would imagine that being eaten and dieing goes hand in hand.[/QUOTE]

He made dice in there?

Or did you mean dying?

I'll quote it for you then.

You forgot the http:// at the beginning of the url.

Guys, I have some bad news. According to LuaChobo I don't post about VNs even though a cursory glance at the thread proves that to be false. How could this have happened!!!!

[DiscoInferno]

CrossChannel has re-entered 'What the Fuck?' territory yet again.

No CrossChannel, you can't just go to a sex scene and expect me to be aroused after dropping a bomb that fucking big.

[RearAdmiral]

[QUOTE=Kabuto;34777246]i found the best track to be the one that plays during the sex[/QUOTE]

You know I want to play Miyako's route just to see if her fantasizing isn't enough and she actually does violate me.

[chunkymonkey]

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;34781215]You "could" stop being an idiot about it, I'm not the only one that thinks this.[/QUOTE]

It's not my fault you guys make shit up to make me look bad.

[CheeseMan]

I'mma be playing this, posting it here because obviously the KS thread isn't supposed to be posting about other VNs! Urp!

I'll tell y'all if it's worth recommending to the OP though I don't know if having two disabled-girl visual novels (but this one isn't romantic) is a good omen for this thread.
