[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;35081696]i think its fate/stay night[/QUOTE] "I think" isn't really good enough for me.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;35081763]"I think" isn't really good enough for me.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Jund;35071385]Sigh, [b]G-Senjou[/b] would have been a lot better without the epilogue[/QUOTE] ...Unless they changed what they were talking about somewhere in all those spoilers. But that's where the spoilers started.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;35081763]"I think" isn't really good enough for me.[/QUOTE] It's about the "after the credits ending" of G-Senjou no maou, and the overall character development of the main character.

[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;35079068][sp]the guy made himself look like a complete fuckbag to the public and had to shit-talk three of his good friends because he really fucking cared about someone, if that's not character development I don't know what is. he didn't give up love he did it FOR love[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]The MC had tons of character development and I never claimed otherwise I'm talking about how the epilogue focused on their kid when I don't even give 2 shits about her since she was just introduced I didn't go through all of that for the love interest to be brushed aside during the final scene[/sp]

[QUOTE=Jund;35082441][sp]I didn't go through all of that for the love interest to be brushed aside during the final scene[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]aw come on you got plenty of Haru in Act 5, this was just a closer on the story dealing with a certain prick the real "final scene" was that kiss by the way hory shit was that a good act[/sp] yeah Chunky its G-Senjou no Maou, get on that shit its good

Starting Deardrops now. It's about some violin dude who is a NEET or something.

Deardrops has an amazing soundtrack from what I can tell. [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HQTS4.jpg[/IMG] Loli-tsundere confirmed

loli-tsundere sounds right up my alley

Oh, that vn might be worth trying.

It doesn't have a "girl-meets-boy" focus, and the characters so far seem interesting. I like it when they put effort into all characters, not only the main girls.

no valid string, make a ticket about it man that's really a immersion breaking bug, I thought Nagisa was spouting nonsense but I just realized like half of the "Tomoya-kun" had been replaced by that [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] every instance of "Nagisa" is replaced by an empty space I'm going to be confused as fuck for a while [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] oh like a quarter of nagisa is replaced by an empty space this shit is weird someone fix it

now everything is ok the game is fixed and I have no idea how to replicate the bug other than going back but I haven't saved in a while and cba to redo that much crap

[QUOTE=DMY;35082213]...Unless they changed what they were talking about somewhere in all those spoilers. But that's where the spoilers started.[/QUOTE] Well forgive me for missing that!

[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;35079068][img]http://i.imgur.com/R6rzb.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I don't know if I'm the only person who considers Chris the worst of the girls or not. They're all pretty entertaining, she's just my least favourite one. Also apparently her arc features [sp]borderline rape.[/sp] Also, I swear I almost d'awwed out loud when Mayuuchi explained how [sp]her face spasms into a glare/frown when she's trying to smile, and that's why it's so hard for her to make friends.[/sp]

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;35086856] Also apparently her arc features [sp]borderline rape.[/sp] [/QUOTE] um excuse me its called night creeping and its a very inspirational japanese mating ritual i was taking notes the whole time

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;35086856]Also apparently her arc features [sp]borderline rape.[/sp][/QUOTE] sounds like hanako

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;35086856]I don't know if I'm the only person who considers Chris the worst of the girls or not. They're all pretty entertaining, she's just my least favourite one. [/QUOTE] You're not. Kazuko is my favourite of the girls, Chris my least. The rest are pretty much equal.

What's the deal with VNs and Fist of the North Star references

[QUOTE=Jund;35097876]What's the deal with VNs and Fist of the North Star references[/QUOTE] Its freaking awesome thats what.

[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;35113664]How is the Katawa Shoujo still alive, what's left to talk about by now?[/QUOTE] I just read the last two pages and it's basically a chat thread now.

[QUOTE=Orkel;35115756]Have you read Umineko[/QUOTE] it's next on the list

Where do you guys download these? The English sites at the bottom of the OP are almost entirely in Japanese.

[QUOTE=lord0war;35115803]Where do you guys download these? The English sites at the bottom of the OP are almost entirely in Japanese.[/QUOTE] wherever I can really. some of them you'll have to get from j-list or similar sites, but some are difficult to obtain legally outside of Japan so you'll have to find them elsewhere. All the ones I posted are relatively easy to obtain legally so you shouldn't have to resort to piracy. If I'm not mistaken, baldr sky and steins;gate are the only two I posted that aren't completely translated yet. You'll want some at least passable knowledge of Japanese to play them. [editline]12th March 2012[/editline] also jastusa.com is your best friend, they sell a ton of translated VNs
