So I'm a big fan of these Fire Emblem like games, but I heard that one of the girls in this game is voiced by an MtF transgender. I'm not even a big politiker, but that just sounds like bad practice and kinda icky even.
Would you guys say the game is still worth the buy?
Not a problem unless you're a retard who listens to English dubs.
The actual problem is the English localisation being full of stupid rewrites.
dubfags deserver the rope
the brother and sister dearest sounds annoying af, why the fuck are americans like this
japanese game
japanese dub
Simple as.
EN
Why would you even remotely consider the possibility of playing anything other than a game's original dub ?
Well I liked the Three Houses dub. And I also enjoyed the dub of Unicorn Overlord, and other of these japanese titles. I was kinda hoping the same would be for this game...
I'm sorry about your mental retardation.
I swear that Danganronpa art style is the touch of death.
The tranny in this game sounds a million times more like a woman than any of the women who voice men in the JP dubs
In fact if it wasn't for shit like IMDB I guarantee people wouldn't even be talking about the tranny at all.
So, what was this all about?
Women have been voice acting male characters for years, I doubt you'll even notice which character is voiced by a transgender if you weren't told beforehand
In one of the routes they reveal Junko Enoshima's AI was uploaded to the computer of the satellite and made the rest of humanity play a killing game
we shall never know
Sequel bait
tranny voiced character has a backshot mc cg
what did they mean by that
Wait, this is never answered? In any of the 20 routes?
Game is shit lol glad Kodaka sits on twitter begging for money and pays news outlets to write articles for it
Just play it with the Japanese voices. I've been playing it and it's a good game.
I fucking hate Gaku so much
He has only two redeeming qualities in the entire game
The asspull music against acid commander
The funny spirit ritual meme
Everything else is shit and the worst character Kodaka has ever written
Not explicitly, no
You can guess what had them freaking out like that but there's never an outright confirmation
In the Coming of Age route, he's one of the characters who doesn't abandon Takumi, at least.
EOPs get what they deserve.
it's okay when it's anime!!!!
kek, weebs deserve this shit
The crazy thing is his voice is genuinely hard to clock. There's like, one grunt that sometimes plays that sounds like a guy. I'm wondering if they used some kind of modulator or software to smooth the voice out.
picrel
The crazy thing is his voice is genuinely hard to clock
No shit, that's why anon posted the Behind the Voice Actors page. If it was *that* obvious he'd be posting voicelines instead.
Fire Emblem like games
The genre is turn-based strategy RPG. FE isn't the only one.
I can't believe you're the first person to comment on this.
Anyway OP if you're still here, this game is bonkers VN first, SRPG second. Keep that in mind.
this
If all I knew was one of the female characters was voiced by a tranny, Hiruko would be one of my last picks unironically
the va did a great job
Best guess would be asking Kodaka but knowing the cunt he would answer in a roundabout way, so we basically learn nothing.
But you can clock it. That or xe's smoked 50000 cigarettes.
anon has never met an alto in xis life
I dont get the hate for this emo clown.
My hate is that I can fuck her raw.
I'm tapped out at day 50. Nothing's happening in the story.
There's like 7 mysteries right now and none of them are given any attention.
Also half the cast just aren't interesting.
99% of the people that I've seen hate on her are the folks who still get assblasted about V3. Any reference to a killing game not happening is a personal offence to them.
How is the gameplay in this? Just fluff or does it actually work?
I wonder if she's as annoying as she seems with all her constant references and shit in JP too or if they felt they had to "spice her up"
You're past the worst of it imo. It picks up not too long after that.
It's first and foremost a big ol VN with some SRPG gameplay on the side.
What route is the Eve brainwashing minigame on? I'm trying to find it to jerk off to it
Requires a minimum amount of thought for the first ~20%
Becomes "every every encounter ends in 1-2 turns if you aren't retarded" in the next 20%
Afterwards you don't even have to fight as you can just skip everything (gotta watch the animations though, that's important to the devs) at no detriment to you
So basically the gameplay "exists"
It was enjoyable for me through the prologue- which is about 25 hours. After that, you get so OP, that you can one turn most encounters. After a certain point, you're able to skip battles entirely.
The real true ending
2nd scenario I think it's scripted though
Wish nips drew more, especially since third of all posts are made by westoids and another third is fujoshit
It is, I've tried slowing it down to 0.1x with CE to get different results but no matter when I would press the button it would always just pick the same thing
I don't think i've seen any actual gameplay, but I have seen a hundred out of context screencaps of characters just saying shit. I guess that's Kodaka's appeal?
The gameplay is a secondary aspect, just like the exploration for materials.
It's just like in Digimon Survive pretty much.
Why isn't this popping? This game feels tailor made for fanart. If this was Tumblr 10 years ago, it'd be gargantuan.
Can't say I'm too mad since all the most interesting options are scripted in to be selected.
Do the bond levels do, well, fucking anything, because the events themselves were fucking garbage and you're not even getting panties at the end
I don't think i've seen any actual gameplay
Atp I'm 99% sure you're the same Anon who's been saying this exact same shit over and over across the many LDA threads in this board.
You know exactly what the gameplay is like because me and other Anons told you that the battle system is that of a braindead easy TRPG that is essentially just padding because the main appeal is in the story and character building.
It's just extra dialog. Might as well level them up. After a point, you're just going to be doing simple explorations or sleeping to kill time.
I can slap 20 pixels together in MS paint and make some panties for your waifu Yugamu if you're that desperate anon
Kodaka makes VNs.
The gameplay is serviceable, but over time you easily overpower the action economy and there's enough repeat battles due to the nature of it being a branching route vn that you get the ability to skip repeats later.
That said a FE battle system centered around kamikazi and burst tactics is very themeatic
709948402
So I'm a big fan of these Fire Emblem like games
The battle system and the exploration are secondary aspects, the game is mostly a VN.
but I heard that one of the girls in this game is voiced by an MtF transgender.
And that is related to any of the actual game's aspects... how exactly?
Anyway, if you use the English dub that's your problem.
What are some relevant rewrites?
Do the bond levels do, well, fucking anything
No.
because the events themselves were fucking garbage
It is what it is. They're just like the convos you could have with the characters during free time sections: ways to expand their characters.
Relevant rewrites? None
Rewrites? I'll let the samefag poltards handle that one.
Girl here, boys look great, I hope I can pull yaoi routes
Its just extra backstory.
There is no love hotel or equivalent this time since they tied romance to routes specifically.
There is a secret bond even dialogue for everyone in routes where you learn the truth
There's fujo content, if you're genuinely wondering.
How the fuck do people managed to finish this game so fast
Still on my 2nd route but accidentally get spoiled
No rewrites, just extra flavor that no one asked the localizers to add.
I actually think the gameplay is the best part.
localizers inserted an Airplane! joke
holy based
Nvm, I forgot about Kako.
I can’t read does images :(
Does this shit ever show up again on this or any other route or was it some one-off forgotten gimmick just to waste my time doing exploration on maps I've already cleared of valuable items?
don't forget "He's blackpilled and now he's totally gonna rope"
still can't believe they actually put that in
Does this shit ever show up again
yes
kek. That's fucking awesome.
nah, you got somebody else. I've never posted in these threads before.
I see.
It's a 'convincing mini game' section
Do we have a translation for Darumi's finisher in Japanese? "You Get What You Deserve" is the English one, and I am 0% convinced that's not a rewrite.
This has probably been my biggest disappointment with the game so far; I genuinely enjoyed the gameplay in the first route and some of the initial fights of the next route when the enemies get powered up. It's nothing too challenging but I liked trying to optimise my unit movements and turns.
The problem is the difficulty just drops off a cliff after that and it feels like you're constantly replaying the same Fire Emblem maps except only your units are levelling up - I think I'd have chosen to replay some of the fights if they scaled in some way, but as it stands it's so boring that you're just better off skipping.
It's a real shame because it feels with only a couple of tweaks you'd have battles that people might actually want to play instead of skipping for ~80% of the whole game.
I found it funny that doing the comedy route first and doing the joke low power fights against the last bosses lets you skip the real fights in other routes
write these lines
no possible romance
was kodaka trolling?
Ummmmmmm she's too young
Stupid mobilenigger
but the age difference between Futaba and Joker was the same in P5? Why was that ok but this isn't?
More like """mini""" """"""game"""""""
Most annoying waste of time in this entire game afaiac.
I think that's part of the problem with the branching. You'd have to keep making harder, and more challenging encounters depending on how many routes you complete. It could be done, but I think ultimately they made a decision to not focus on the game that much.
Are their ages ever stated?
She says 95% the same thing and never shuts the fuck about it. She, Ginzaki and Magadori are all pure gag characters that have never anything of value to say but Darumi literally says the same two lines for 95% of her dialog and that's not even exaggeration. That japanese people never get tired of the same manzai routine proves japanese people are inherently autistic but making the entire personality of a character one gag takes the cake.
I genuinely thought the game would pull a scaling difficulty thing for obvious reasons but then there's fuckall
That shit's really disappointing
Only once, but yes it feels like a gimmick they completly forgot
Game is 200 hours long
Only ever post examples from the demo
At least pretend to actually care. This is just weak rage bait at this point. I’m sure there’s plenty of bad examples in the game if you actually cared about breaking it down. But this was never about analyzing the localization. It’s all shitposting.
I think it shows a lack of confidence. They absolutely could have scaled the difficulty, but they weren't confident enough to believe what they had could carry a 150+ hour game, so they basically just let you bulldoze fights after a certain point.
That's the issue with most conversations, I didn't even find it that annoying with Darumi. At some point you get tired of the whole
Tomato: You fap with sword!
Swordfapper: N-no I don't
Brown wife: Y-you can't say that
Blue edgeman: Oh for the love of murder
thing
I thought Takemaru used that sex change line in some other scene. Don't remember where though.
People who give a shit about localisation quality see from the demo that it's shit and don't buy the game
Whoa, that's crazy and unexpected.
Whatever you say, Nigger.
An Anon asked for examples so I pieces together the few that I have saved.
Keep crying.
No because and big spoiler
They are all engineered clones of the same person. They have the same age, 0
Kako correction
Problem with having too many translators I guess. Darumi says eroge and loli, Takemaru says sensei, so not sure why they couldn't just keep onii-chan and imouto-chan the way they are. I don't care what anyone says, some things are better left unlocalised.
Almost all the cast are like this when they are not plot relevant to a route.
Frankly the most obvious and glaring things like that were in the demo, there's a chance they were told to tone that shit down somewhat for the final game. Their random references become more descriptive instead of naming things IRL although there's still a bunch of those which is really fucking retarded given the setting.
The game has other problems anyway and I would probably be really fucking pissed if I paid money for it, so I'm just somewhat pissed now.
Bros, comedy route was my first route...
I just can't enjoy this shit game any longer.
Check twitter instead. A lot of people are still playing so fanart isn't being made yet. You're an idiot if you didn't expect the fujobait to get the majority of fan works though.
People who give a shit about localisation quality see from the demo that it's shit and don't buy the game but instead cry about it on 4channel for a MONTH
okay
Got to the point where i can make some choices and I'm trying to make the 'bad' ones first.
How come literally 50% of this route is looking at these clouds?
Hundred Line feels like an anime from 2009. Which is good and bad.
I always just assumed that they were told they never existed in the first place, that all of their memories are fake, and that they were actually the invaders all along.
Good news is you endured the absolutely worst route, it's only uphill from here keep going, you will make it.
If you want some significantly better routes as a palette cleanser, spare eito
They are mentioned in Japanese. Kako and Ima are 15 and Eito and Takumi are 17. This was removed in English because if not they'd probably have to bring the ratings up since Takumi has sex with Nozomi/Eito, you see Eito's bare ass, Hiruko is hinted at drinking, all the sex jokes, almost see Darumi lewd, Takumi impregnates Eva etc. But like the other anon said I don't think we know their actual ages. It's difficult because they're not exactly normal humans.
That side of the tree is just low budget, low talent ass
Where is the ______?
I don't think they ever mention ages in japanese.
But Kako and Ima mention that they are in junior HS, which makes them 15.
spare eito
NTA, but keep in mind that if you do that you might either hit a lock that requires you to complete a bunch of other endings OR you'll fall into the Romance Route.
Darumi has the retsnom route and that's about it. It did make her shoot up in my personal enjoyment though. Kyoshika sucks though. No clue why she's popular.
Mainly a problem with the 2nd LDA people. They suck.
They do in their introductions at the very start iirc
no image
Why didn't they just center the text in the box? "No image" makes this look like it's a beta.
wow you're actually forced to do gaku's retarded exorcism plan in order to unlock story lock 1. now i hate him even more
Fuck that egg line is so bad. No one knows what that means but terminally online retards like myself.
I don't even understand how that plays into anything other than making you remember that Gaku is a fucking retard
In the common route I was surprised how fun the gameplay was and how they always included meaningful new stuff in every story fight that made the battles fun and exciting.
But after the common route anything "gameplay" related of this game is a pure dread. They didn't even try designing battles.
Hot.
What on earth did she do to darumi to break her this hard?
almost none of the weebs here actually know that much japanese unfortunately
I don't even understand why saving him leads to the truth ending. He didn't do anything important after that.
I did play the entire game in japanese and the only Darumi line I remember is "let's go".
seriously, i was so confused on why it wasn't unlocking since i had done most of them until i googled which ending i was missing and my heart sank
I wish I saved her dog voicelines from this part. Shit had me diamonds.
I know the gameplay is basically pointless after the original route but is the meta strategy to give Takumi all the blood power ups because you have him always available and he has the best super?
Discussion of a game's bad localisation persists as long as discussion of the game itself does
Okay
Yeah, basically.
Tsubasa is around for most routes too, and she's quite strong too, so maxing her out is good too.
Enlightened superior beings prefer to put all their eggs in Tsubasa's basket.
youtube.com
Maybe I'm being a hardass, but I still don't get what people are seeing in the gameplay early on, even. You posted an Engage memepic so I assume you're not new to the genre. But beyond the superficial, the gameplay is actually nothing like Fire Emblem and the maps are so retardedly low effort and repetitive. The enemies are helpless piñatas who can't possibly threaten you, waiting on you to crack them open, and I don't find that fun even from a optimization/movement autism standpoint. In Fire Emblem, enemies actually get, you know...a turn, even if they're not always super dangerous to your designated juggernaut.
In this game you have these absolute shitter cannon fodder enemies who, even if they somehow attack you, do at most 1/3 of your HP. And in doing that, they actually push you closer to a free ultimate. The game is just too kind, as if it's afraid of alienating VNfags.
making you remember that Gaku is a fucking retard
that's a good thing
Takumi (+ Nozomi) is the meta boss killer
Tsubasa is the meta map clearer
Listen, if you want regurgitate the the same posts for time immemorial while other people actually talk about the game, more power to you.
pretty much, if you're ever in a pinch don't forget that you can just use a desperation potion on someone useless(read gaku), use his suicide special(preferable taking some enemies out for the ap) and then get free 100% voltage from that + damage for takumi
nta but some of the localizations are just insanely shoehorned in. a random pop culture reference where there wasn't one before isn't localization, it's just bloating
The combat is better than Emblem's because there's a crescendo to the battle, like a TCG game.
In Emblem, the crescendo is based on the unit count and fear of unit death, which means you're always playing maps by inching out units in groups.
Hundred Line fixes all this by having AP that carries over per turn and increments during your turn, meaning you can play advantages out rather than just keeping an eye on enemy attack ranges.
It's all very clever, the best part of the game.
In Emblem, the crescendo is based on the unit count and fear of unit death, which means you're always playing maps by inching out units in groups.
yeah if you're shit lol
Here's peak Hundred Line gameplay btw
Definitely not paying attention to enemy attack ranges, you got that much right!
Anon that might be an argument for like the common initial route but afterwards every single battle can be resolved by skipping a turn and bashing your head against the boss. Global AP that carry over into the next turn were a mistake.
Not him but I don't know if you're shitposting. Suicide attacks are already stupidly broken in SRPGs most of the time, that's why the better ones have perma death. Hundred Line not only encourages suicide attacks, it heavily rewards you for them.
gameplay with potions and attacks maxed out
It's like posting a video of FE7 with everyone promoted and at max level.
NTA but a ton of the FE series can be cheesed the same way via the warp spell and other means.
what were you doing in your free time anon?
Funny people were asking about ages and I JUST got this FTE. I didn't even realize they were younger.
The problem with the suicide attack is the voltage gain, but it is the worst part of the system.
what exactly made gaku confident enough to think he was the MVP the first time around? or that he would be chosen as team leader
man got ONE single compliment that his class weapon looked cool and it immediately got to his short-ass head
It's not my webm, but everyone has figured out the same stupd bullshit. You don't need maxed resources, just about 5 of each relevant potion, which is obtainable early. And then upgrade Basa's skills.
Not at all. This works on EVERY battle. Warp is limited and only works on certain objectives. Even then, it can be tough to pull off a warpskip. Tsubasa stomping is brainless and free. There's no reason not to play every map this way once you see it.
what a dogshit game
I gotta say, I'm glad this game doesn't have permadeath like FE.
Almost everyone just resets for it anyway, it's kind of nice to see a game embrace it.
Is it a heavy plot hole that the enemy commanders don't attack all together?
There's no reason not to play every map this way once you see it
There's no reason to put self imposed challenge onto yourself to test how the developers intended for players to beat this scenario
You don't even need maxed out potions for that. 2 desperation potions are enough.
use a desperation potion to kill off one of your useless characters
have enough voltage to give Tsubasa +2 atk on low HP
use a desperation potion and an attack potion
now all of your hits deal 4 damage, most enemies have 4-8 HP
add +1 attack when you have enough voltage on top
I mean shit maxing out everything will just give you +2 atk, it doesn't really matter that much if you deal 5 damage or 7 at that point, the overpowered part is having a no fatigue areal attack
みんな壊れちゃえ・・・
Let's all break
Daily reminder:
Kill Gaku. Behead Gaku. Roundhouse kick a Gaku into the concrete. Slam dunk a Gaku baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy Gakus. Defecate in a Gaku food. Launch Gaku into the sun. Stir fry Gaku in a wok. Toss Gaku into active volcanoes. Urinate into a Gaku gas tank. Judo throw Gaku into a wood chipper. Twist Gaku heads off. Report Gaku to the IRS. Karate chop Gaku in half. Curb stomp pregnant Gaku Gaku. Trap Gaku in quicksand. Crush Gaku in the trash compactor. Liquefy Gaku in a vat of acid. Eat Gaku. Dissect Gaku. Exterminate Gaku in the gas chamber. Stomp Gaku skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate Gaku in the oven. Lobotomize Gaku. Mandatory abortions for Gaku. Grind Gaku fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown Gaku in fried chicken grease. Vaporize Gaku with a ray gun. Kick old Gaku down the stairs. Feed Gaku to alligators. Slice Gaku with a katana.
Well no...because the gameplay is very boring and repetitive, you quite literally fight the same battles and bosses over and over and over again. Are you seriously suggesting doing a challenge run of Hundred Line? Am I understanding you correctly? Who would want to subject themselves to such abuse?
I expect one of you NEETs to draft up a 5 paragraph essay explaining why this is a significantly better phrase to use.
DRV3's ending was the biggest tragedy that ever happened to Kodaka. It made him think that breaking the Fourth wall is good writing. "Dude it's all fake anyway so I don't have to explain shit"
Never get an anime. I hope your company shuts down. I hope you never make videogames again.
self imposed challenge
for intended way
Are you retarded? The developers had their shot at designing the game and they failed. "Self imposed challenge" is a way for the player to cope and try to make a bad game a little bit more fun, it has nothing to do with the developers vision.
Who would want to subject themselves to such abuse?
don't say that, you'll attract the serial battle players...
In this first route? No, maybe related to some religious reason if you wanted to reach
As for after the prologue The supreme Commander sends them one by one so she can easily absorb their power
Yeah no one does that autism shit, people just play games normally.
Oh but you're not minmaxxing
oh but you're not smart enough to figure out the game
I won. I'm enjoying the battle system, you're not. Whose smarter know
No the supreme commander has a giant ego.
She would gladly drain her comrades once they are useless if it gives her one iota of power.
Likewise, she would rather give her enemies time if its more entertaining.
She has a selfish godcomplex to where its her motive for making choices that arnt sound if you just wanted to win the war.
is it ever explained why dahl'xia is so insanely tanky and has such a perfect defense that he can just walk straight through the wall of flames? and how did vexness even defeat him in order to imprison him in the first place or is this just another plot hole to add to the list
Can you have sex with her?
holy shit anon it's been 8 years
kekaroo
autism shit
Nigger it's using three potions
Three fucking potions
Why the fuck wouldn't you use them
It only ends up showing the problems with it though. For years disingenuous casualfags have argued most people just reset in FE "so it doesn't matter" - to excuse anything from casual mode, to Phoenix Mode, to turnwheel.
This only highlights that it DOES make a difference. You literally suicide units for energy in this game, and then face no consequences for it, not even lost time. If you couldn't do that, you'd have to actually learn to play the game.
yeah
"Self imposed challenge" is a way for the player to cope and try to make a bad game a little bit more fun
It's inherent in games with stat systems. You stay on par with the game's levelling, so that it doesn't become too easy or hard.
You don't abuse Wiki entry tech so you can see how the developers intended players to normally beat something, then you can stress the design of an encounter.
I didn't do serial battles nor do I plan on doing too many routes since I'm just tired of this shit by now so I just looked it up.
Jesus Christ pretty much every single time period listed here contains a battle, who the fuck thought this was a good idea
If games like FE has a built in reset button I'd agree with you.
forgot pic
I don't even get why people that can't read japanese try to become aware of bad translation. Either you become aware and learn japanese or you just stay ignorant and enjoy translation. People that pick the third option of becoming aware and suffering are legit retarded.
Not using them. I play the game fair. You're all the idiots trying to break the game.
Fire Emblem like games
That's like calling Fallout 4 a "Halo-like game".
Based Stella Glow Hilda ending.
vore route when?
yeah no one should willingly subject themselves to that
my heart breaks for anyone who accidentally hopped on that route. there isnt even any new lore to be gleaned from it
Every FE has had either a soft reset button combination, or a return to menu/reload button (Radiant Dawn, Engage). It's been there since day 1.
Casual mode and all the later do-over bullshit they added have obfuscated this fact, but you were always intended to have the option to at least reset.
In the prologue it isn't.
In the rest of the routes it kinda feels like she's creating an ideal scenario to absorb each of them herself.
She can't harm her own people because of religious shenanigans so she sends them to their doom at the hands of the LDA, then she comes at the last minute and absorbs them before the LDA can.
Either you become aware and learn japanese or you just stay ignorant and enjoy translation
How about wanting a quality product made by people who do their job properly, is that too much to ask
Even if I understood Japanese well enough to read the entirely of a 150-200h VN which I don't right now, buying the game would mean that I condone these practices since there is no way of buying a PC version that isn't vandalized to some degree
Japanese doesn't translate to English anyway.
Huh? Ah it is of that thing
Yes. Although, scary feeling
Is it ever explained why he is impenetrable
He basically has a jacked version of Shouma's hemoanima.
How DID vexness defeat him
His guard was down and he let her. He doesnt want the young to fight, the first commander you always kill who wasnt remotely ready for this war, is his son
Weebs who barely know Japanese have always been the most insufferable group of people. It's nothing new.
The weebs who know 0 Japanese are unironically less annoying.
So, about Nozomi, why did they remove her memories about having conversations with kid Takumi, but leave out all the stuff about her mother and shit during the first timeline?
Hell, how did Nigou remove her memories about Takumi but somehow he had no idea that she's not actually one of the cloned kids?
Every single system of the game breaks the game. The items, the buildings, the supers, the voltage gain. Fucking everything. And even if you self impose challenge, most maps after the prolog are literally are always the same shit. People are not trying to break the game, they are trying to endure endless boredom by making the suffering take less time.
Even if I understood Japanese well enough to read the entirely of a 150-200h VN which I don't right now
Not sure what the point is of using an impossible theoretical as an example.
He doesnt know
It's unreal how different these two lines feel. Japanese is untranslatable.
Let's all break
Min'na kowarecha e
You mean "Let's break them to pieces!" or something similar.
A bit of extra flavor while retaining the point.
That is proper localization.
Literal translation is a meme pushed by literal drooling retards.
It's OK anon, I understand you have no argument so you need to base it on half a sentence taken out of context, I'll rewrite it for you:
My Japanese is impeccable so I have no issues reading a 150-200h VN. Buying the game would mean that I condone these practices since there is no way of buying a PC version that isn't vandalized to some degree.
Erm... actually I know enough Japanese to pass the N4, and you are TOTALLY wrong about that. You are just woke and/or lazy.
Even if I understood Japanese well enough to read the entirely of a 150-200h VN
What has time to do with anything? The level of japanese needed is low since 50% of dialog in this just endlessly repeats the same gags.
But let me make it clear, stuff like the Takemaru or Kako lines should not be allowed.
I hate it
So I'm going to lie about knowing nipponese
And play the game anyway
kek
Doesnt darumi also have different finisher lines depending on if shes fatigued or not
Yeah I passed N4 myself and localization adds much needed flavor, the japanese is soulless and sterile.
modern dubs dab on the cringy japanese pedo squeaks so hard its not even funny
sohooo close to dead
no argument
It's OK, I understand you're mad, but I still won't support trannylations
I still need to look some things up and I certainly can't read it as fast as I can in English. That would stretch the entire experience to 300-400h which is honestly a bit too much for me. It's like playing Pathfinder WotR in turn based. It's already a long ass game that will take you 120 hours to compete but some people feel like it should take them 400 hours instead.
It still doesn't change the fact that I'm supporting shitty translations by buying a translated version on Steam.
I'm le otaku but I have never anything interesting to say
What did she mean with this? She is more boring than the normalest of normalfags.
i never understood that either, so they caught her snooping around, removed her memories of meeting takumi and seeing the kids, but didn't put any new measures in place afterwards and she was just able to casually stumble upon them AGAIN and even get into one of the pods(why were there even more pods than children, weren't they in there their whole lives?) without anyone noticing
What bothers me is I want to have only sex with two women in this game. Shizuhara and Tsubasa. I would only have sex with Kako because she is the youngest but I don't think she is particularly attractive.
I laughed at her panting like a dog for Hiruko
Kako is boring and too old to boot. If only there were invader lolis you could hide in a dungeon.
In general think discussing translations is kind of boring since 99.9% of a time a translation is going to be worse than the original so it's just kind of beating a dead horse to go into how much worse it is and why.
Why are you listening to non-canon voice acting? Just switch the the cannon voice acting option in the menu. I believe it's labeled "Japanese" in the English menu.
What the fuck was up with her having altered memories about her uncle taking the role of her mother in the 2nd route, like I get it's to confuse the player and her memories could have been manipulated into thinking that but what's the fucking point
Anyone bothered by the fact that the characters in the academy seemingly barely interact with each other? What's funny to me is that everyone liked the fake Momo but literally no one cares about the real one.
What the fuck was up with her having altered memories about her uncle taking the role of her mother in the 2nd route, like I get it's to confuse the player and her memories could have been manipulated into thinking that but what's the fucking point
what's the fucking point
it's to confuse the player
Yes. I'm bothered by a lot of the characterization. It's unbelievable to me that Kurara has friends.
planning on doing S.F and mystery and then finally stepping away from LDA, which of these routes would you guys say are written well enough to be worth doing too?
cult
CoA
retsnom
vexness
box of blessings
romance
they're the only ones i haven't done besides comedy and serial battles(not doing that shit) but i don't really feel like doing all of them, feeling burnt out as it is
Got my first 6 endings (mystery route) and want to kill myself already.
Why is this game so fucking tedious.
I really laughed hard at this gameplay section. It's like the 12 year old son of one of the devs did a 2 week internship and they put the section he developed into the game.
Its almost like being an otaku actually makes you a cripplingly sheltered and inexperienced person
this and all the other "chase" sequences were just sad to experience, actual 5th grader game design project vibes
Ahaha
Cult is kinda funny but if you're someone who would completely hate shit that is somewhat similar to "hypno" you will hate it too
Retsnom depends on whether you hate Darumi or not, if you do, skip it
Vexness is OK, not great, not terrible, depends on whether you want to know more about the character or not, it's pretty short too
Box of blessings - lolno
Romance - if you're into waifushit
Haven't done CoA yet, I doubt I will
Why do anons punish themselves, though? I've gotten 8 ending and I feel fine about the game...
Mainly because half of those were quick "bad ends," and the others were routes I actually wanted to do. I'm not trying to be completionist.
Game is tedious, however.
retsnom, coa, and vexhness
cult if you really like fanservice
Anyone else seething hard that they didn't program precise markers for the corridors so every time you want to talk with someone in a corridor you have to do a humiliation ritual where you walk the entire corridor?
The entire side scrolling part is total shit and I'm surprised it made it into the game at all.
More padding to add to the pile, I can't even be mad anymore
Cult was funny and entertaining. May not be your thing but I found it interesting. Depends on how much the idea of Takumi being worshipped like a God sounds to you. Takumi can get quite fucked up in that route. Retsnom is good if you want Darumi development. V'ehxness gives you a little more of the commanders and Tsubasa, it's not that long either so I say try it out. I would reccomend all of those.
CoA is uh... if you like slice of life, power of friendship type stuff I guess? It's nice to get more of the flame boy and Eito is funny as fuck in it. Blessings is a joke and borderline just comedy 2.0. It's written by the Boruto writer so expect the same level of ""quality"". Right now it is the least liked route by the majority of people. If you're one of 5 people that love Gaku go for it. Romance was dogshit to me. Only go for it if you like Kurara, Kyoshika or Tsubasa (and even then Tsubasa had a better romance in the killing game route
Absolutely.
Game desperately needs quality of life changes. Game will never get them.
The entire romance route should have been idolshit fueled fever dream. Might as well go full VN in there.
don don iikuyo!
So cute
Does Darumi get any interesting development in KG? I didn't do that one before I did SF, I really liked that it wasn't a required route but then SF spoils the entire thing anyway because FUCK YOU
thanks fellas, sounds like i'm going to go with vexness since it's short and i do like her, and cult sounds interesting too. every other route(besides maybe the latter part of KG) has made darumi extremely annoying to me so probably gonna skip retsnom
It should have been an external porn patch for the game.
Does the game ever reach a hype level comparable to the final prologue boss? In the true ending at least?
I thought it was her route. Turns out she was a side character.
The entire side scrolling part is total shit
Agreed. It's just one of many ways the game uses to waste your time pointlessly.
Holding a button to skip a cutscene, the animations of each character entering a battle, the icons of the characters in the map not representing their positions (picrel), the flowchart "Before decision" not always taking you exactly to a decision but sometimes forcing you to go through a battle or 2 and probably a few other things I'm mis-oh yeah, the persuasion minigame that you can't lose too.
Yeah, THLLDA has a lot of fat.
Is the romance route really that bad? I would imagine if it was good and not tacked on people here would especially like it.
Also saving the game doesn't save it exactly at the point you are but a little bit before that. I don't even know how this happens.
Its mid.
Its only 3 of the girls ends abruptly if you pick one of them.
CHADgon Ball reference
This is a scholar-approved ending.
Does Darumi get any interesting development in KG?
A little bit, but only a little. Killing game is mainly for Tsubasa and Yugamu development and also Eva, the commander you keep prisoner, and her daughter Kamyuhn. Nozomi was okay in it too. Killing game is personally my favourite route so I shall shill it.
probably gonna skip retsnom
I won't push you, just wanna add that I hated Darumi before it and now I like her. If the idea of being an outcast with a mentally ill girl who genuinely appreciates you and grows to love you in a way that feels natural sounds appealing go for it. If not then skip.
It's my least liked one, but I also despise Kurara and Kyoshika.
yea, i get we see everything from Takumi's perspective but game is alergic to giving characters relationships that dont involve (you)
there is material for nice interactions and development but you rarely see it
It would probably be received better if it included every character but it's like 3.2 girls, so if the one you're interested in isn't part of it you're not going to like it. You also have go through the whole romance content in a linear way so if your girl is included and she's the third one, you still have to go through the first and second one.
game is alergic to giving characters relationships that dont involve (you)
Basically every route but killing game. I wish the twins got a route.
Frankly they should have just ditched the entire bond system for optional group events
Fun romance VN's involve lots of choices love triangles and all sorts of goodies. Kusoge romance VN's are pick your girl's CG. Guess which type the romance route is.
It's unreal how much the game would be improved just by being able to deactivate ding dong, including Takumi's thoughts before going to sleep and after waking up.
There is no true ending
Truth/2nd scenario is pretty hype with the revealed plot twists and Science.Fiction. is almost mindhack levels of insanity but none are true ends
Is the romance route really that bad?
As someone who's going through it as their 1st ending (because the game cockblocked me from getting what is probably a true ending-like ending see ) it's whatever.
Takumi went back in time to save Nozomi, and while there's shenanigans involving the Revive-o-matic malfunctioning and wiping out some of his memories, he still remembered his goal, so falling into this route feels super ooc to me and I'm not interested in romance either.
I'm still going through it because I want to unlock all the CGs and get all the endings in my save, but yeah, I don't see the appeal.
Second Scenario is tragedykino and is the closes thing to a True End.
but S.F.
Shit sux.
lolno
So much shit goes unanswered that it isn't funny
super ooc
I mean, you cah have Takumi reject the three girls and confess to Nozomi instead.
Evas real personality is great
It feels like the devs don't really play video games themselves. At least I can't explain the boardgame minigame any other way.
I love her
no rewrites
Why are you lying? They outright removed some characters saying their ages.
They just kinda sorta copied the Dang it Ron Paul minigame because they were too lazy. But yeah it's garbage. It doesn't even matter for resources past the common route. Who the fuck thought this whole thing was a good idea.
It's crazy how many CGs are there for absolute throwaway moments.
you cah have Takumi reject the three girls and confess to Nozomi instead.
Oh, that sounds nice, but still, I don't know man.
I imagine that happens in the last few days or something? I'm still in the Kyoshika Chapter.
The thing is: the basic premise of the route is 3 girls and 25 days to spend with each of them, but like, Takumi spending those rounds of 25 days with those 3 girls feels ooc to me. Like something he wouldn't do when his goal was to go back in time to make the right choices that would create a happy end where no one dies and everyone lives to escape Earth before World Death.
I think the game is an example of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks with the caveat that they went and picked up everything that didn't as well.
It doesn't even matter for resources past the common route
How else get resources? I hate this literal torture but I want to max some skills.
characters saying their ages.
First time I hear this. Any examples?
I meant it more in the sense of it doesn't matter for resources past the common route because you don't have to take the whole time spent/resources gained thing into account anymore since you can just jump back a day or whatever and you're keeping your resources anyway
Just use CE and give give yourself all the resources you need
Tsubasa has no romance route? What the fuck is this shit???? I'm fucking seething right now. Fuck this game. Fuck this game. Fuck this game. FUUUCK
drop monopoly
drop side scrolling
drop nozomi
There. Game instantly improved by a few points.
She's one of the targets in THE Romance Route.
I also heard she indirectly has a 2nd route since she's one of the girls that end with Takumi in some other route or something like that.
She does, but you're forced to endure two different romance routes first
nigou you stupid? She has 2 romance routes
I think KG qualifies?
drop nozomi
I will never get making a 150 hour gamer full of shit instead of having a 75 hour game where all the quality is concentrated, dev time is reduced by a third, players are happier. Reviews are better.
How out of touch do you need to be to market a game with "more = better" in the year 2025?
The only time this character was tolerable when she started shitting on Nozomi.
Deal with the traitor and go along with darumi's life goals. Forget romance route it's shit.
Throw that one in a freezer while at it.
we want to give this character a jack-o-lantern as as a face mask
not this is too generic we are le creative, make it a tomato instead
Box of Blessings is four branches of the exact same copy pasted content with original content just for 1-2 ending scenes
WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING
Boruto writer
Same shit for Conspiracy, but at least that routes takes 30 minutes to complete.
pukes
Not him but I puke all the time genuinely surprised to see the puke archetype in fiction.
based milf fucker
shut up tsubasa
I don't see the issue with any of these. They maintain the meaning of the original completely and inserting extra flavour is perfectly fine since Japanese is an incredibly dry language where a lot of meaning and soul are left up to subtext.
but muh extra reference
again I don't see the issue. Is anything being lost or ruined by kako randomly referencing It? It's just turning a flavourless filler unimportant line into a reference. At best you'll get it and it will make you laugh, at worst you won't get it or won't find it funny and you can just ignore it. Like genuinely WHY should your reaction to the kako line be anger instead of just indifference? Even the takemaru line where you could argue that your political views could make you angry about the meaning being changed... but both lines are saying the same. Both the translation and original are saying that a male tranny = male so takemaru can punch them. So again WHY is anyone angry at this? This is not a V3 Kaito situation where they removed him hatting fags in the translation.
So avoid:
Comedy Route
Slasher Route
Romance Route
Box of Blessings Route
Have I missed anything?
I wonder WHY hiriko doted darumi so much-
Oh.
OH.
It's just turning a flavourless filler unimportant line into a reference
Why does every character have to speak like a reddit meme faggot for localization apologists? I will never get this.
Slasher is needed for one of the true endings.
You're forced to do slasher if you want to do the path with the story lock that explains some of the things that happen in other routes, so unfortunately it's kinda required unless you just want to ignore it
Why? Isn't it a pure meme route?
It's FLAVORFUL
Like FLAVOR FLAV
Artists always want to do more than what they can. To outdo their previous work. The "100 days, 100 ends" concept likely started as an itchy, obsessive idea and I imagine Kodaka was riding high during the initial burst of fun creative energy and good feeling. And then at some point it must have become obvious how logistically unwieldy the whole thing was, but at that point it was too late to back out or scale back. So at that point...you just rush it and cut corners, compromise where you can.
Not really
It is, however, kinda garbage, but the game wants you to do it if you want to remove the story lock from the "more context" route.
Because in an umineko length VN turning some of the filler lines into anything else other than filler is a net positive on entretainment value. I would agree with you if this was 4kids tier translation where they are trying to make EVERY line a joke, but one or two lines every 500 lines? No issue with that. It's not like it goes against the tone of the game, Kodaka is the kind of writer that constantly inserts meaningless references to manga/anime media in almost every scene anyways, so it's not like they even stand out as being out of place.
No, it actually brings up a couple new plot points.
The meme routes are Comedy, Romance, Cult.
Blessing is a """serious""" route but it's one of the worst things I've ever played through, so you can skip it.
This is probably it. The 100 endings was the pitch for the investors. The execution of that must have been purely soul draining and they had to hire too many writers which always ruins any story.
No one complains about cult though so I guess it's one of the better meme routes?
Is comedy route unironically the unfunniest route? The joke was basically "we know this route is shit but it's just supposed to be a joke so no hard feelings for wasting your time".
What's Anon Babble opinion of Box of Calamity?
I completed it yesterday, and half of it was pretty cool while the other half was a rehash.
is that the one that's written by the author of boruto?
Do you like harem setups where everyone wants to suck your dick? If yes, you'll enjoy it.
If no, stay away.
It depends on whether you enjoy being a cult leader and the stuff that comes with it, some people just seethe uncontrollably at the mere concept
cult isn't a meme route
I hate it mostly because I hated everything squid related, yes I know that's like a third of the game if not more
Depends if the dick remains dry or gets wet. Don't see much of a point of a harem route in a non porn game.
I guess it technically does get wet
Every ending is canon
takumi explains he is from the future
does a heavy info dump
predicts tons of shit just as he said
know a shitload
one of the things he predicted don't happen due to the timeline shifting
DO YOU SEE THAT HE WAS LYING ALL THIS AFTER ALL
Holy shit the characters in this game are completely retarded. The routes without Eito are downright not readable because the IQ drops into the single digits.
Knowing a shitload of confidential and the invaders intel doesnt mean hes from the future.
The more reasonable explanation is him being a double agent.
Also you have to bear in mind he killed a comrade for thoughtcrime on day 3
nah anon it makes sense
imagine living your life and one day you're kidnapped, find yourself in a classroom with 14 other students and being told you gotta fight for humanity sake.
You'd doubt anything and everything at first.
Takumi future dumps on Day 3 I believe, which means the cast barely knows shit about him. It makes sense they'd hesitate on fully trusting him.
This is a game by the guys that in one (or two, can't remember) of their previous games had a teen girl praise LGBT and trans shit in the most hamfisted manner imaginable. Yes, in the JP script too. No, it was not ironic or sarcastic.
I'd rather have filler than garbage references that feel out of place, or shit like Discord troonspeak, but that's just me. Having a few lines of filler dialogues is really the least of the game's problems.
It has huge appeal and easy for the eye.
If anything I can see kodakas new game recently announced doing worse for having a different art style
Wait, Komatsuzaki is confirmed to not return for the new game?
It's ok to be skeptical but the 5 people that didn't believe him were extremely nitpicky about shit and didn't give credit where it's due. They also fell in line because of some absolutely retarded shit every single time. Eito was the only character that provided grounded skepticism but also immediately acknowledged when he was wrong which is funny because most of it was acting.
I know everything about your life, I know your cats name that you never mentioned, I predicted the guy who is a complete psychopath and he admitted it afterwards. I even know your cup size.
No you're just lying. I don't trust you guy with answers for everything with super powers.
I mean, I dropped the game partially due to this. The writing is terrible. Especially the character writing is nothing close to danganronpa. Kodaka is a hack.
Some of the character designs in these DR-adjacent games feel straight up deviant art tier, particularly in the color choices. DR1 and 2 designs felt a bit more "grounded" for the lack of a better term, DRV3 was when it really started to show and from then on its bothered me.
Two routes are written by him
Yes, they are kinda shit
No, they don't include fagshit
do you guys think vehxness had sex with alter-vehxness in the days leading up to the final battle
My theory is that the artist created so many characters over the years that he was completely spent and had to force himself with doing original variations that the character design quality suffered badly.
nobody in V3 looked terrible, shit designs started with Rain Code
Which ones? Slasher and Comedy route?
I guess communism really does work :^)

How do you know you actually have finished the real ending of a route? Or are you forced to do all variations because "le all of them are real"?
This is Kodaka's Masterpiece
Comedy Route, the route with barely any content has 3 writers
What the absolute fuck?
garbage references that feel out of place
but that's already hundred line? kyoshka constantly referencing shonen jump mid series number 2156 in every other line was not part of the translation team. darumi randomly saying vn titles for no reason is in the original. shouma vs kurara 15 day long conflict resolution hinging entirely in a hxh reference was in the original. Why are we pretending that constant references aren't kodaka's style? Why is a reference to "it" more cringy than a reference to "demon slayer" anon?
Generally speaking following the central line in the chart is the "intended" ending for a route. The branches of the "wrong" routes are shorter, end before day 100 or end badly. It's pretty obvious.
This is a really poor argument in defense of the gameplay not being undercooked. If one character can easily trivialize every single fight in the game with easily unlocked items that the game does not penalize you at all for using, then that's on them for making the game that way. You can self impose nuzlocke tier gimp yourself all you want, but the tools to trivialize the gameplay entirely are still right there for everyone to discover.
darumi randomly saying vn titles for no reason is in the original
That was not a reference. She just straight up named her favorite titles which by the way were all trash.
In comedy route it's not obvious because all endings are just random bullshit that's why I was not sure.
V'ehxness deserves a longer route.
References generally work if they are general enough to be understood by anyone. No one would give a shit about a character going "I'll be back" as a Terminator reference. If you don't understand the reference behind Shouma-san it's still perfectly fine because it's just "haha small dude got big and strong all of a sudden". I draw the line when they start referencing random TV shows that aired 30 years ago essentially by name, or fucking Michael Jackson or other shit. Or using terms that are generally just understood by terminally online retards. That just doesn't fit the setting and is fucking retarded. I don't give a fuck if you think this adds flavor or some shit. It's just garbage.
referencing random TV shows that aired 30 years ago essentially by name, or fucking Michael Jackson or other shit.
How is this different from the Terminator reference example? Same shit.
The real thing that irritated me was them STILL being distrusting after you kill the sponsor of the killing game
I thought that before playing it but the designs do really grow on you. I do agree about the color choices however, the artist seems to have been struggling hard in that department since Rain Code.
We will never get a real evil girl route in any VN.
References generally work if they are general enough to be understood by anyone.
there are so many references in hundred line to japanese manga and vns that are literally impossible to get to an english fan because said media hasn't even translated to english ever. So again why are you okay with those but angry at the references you don't get made by the translation team. Why not getting a reference(japan) is okay but not getting a refference(american) is infuriating for you?
ikr
The point is that if you never saw Terminator you'd just parse it as a normal line that says the character will be back. When you start referring to things explicitly by name it becomes awkward if the people reading your shit have no idea what it means. To take the Terminator example, there's a difference between
A: I'll be back
B: Please don't die... (or whatever might fit the context)
and
A: I'll be back
B: Woah! Don't pull a Terminator on me!
remember the localization mantra
"if people like the dialogue, it was something we changed because the original was boring, if people don't like the dialogue, that's how it was in the original, we promise!"
character events
every dialog is 2-3 sentences
last event of girls
OMG IMPREGNATE ME ALREADY
Why did they do it? It was just senseless soulless pointless fanservice. Literally reading fanfiction is more fulfilling.
Taking a page from FE S-rank supports
Is there a route where I can fuck Darumi? I don't care about her dialogue, I just want her.
That's unfair towards FE. The two characters were actually talking with each other instead of one character just talking about themselves and even if it was rushed the characters always managed to find something unique to bond over.
i hate the gameplay so much bros.
No.
her love is platonic, shes too damaged goods
FE gets very retarded with it. Not every, but since it has to be, you get shit like Leo "bonding" with Charlotte over her being a deceptive whore for three supports, and then they're suddenly in love.
That's good because there is plenty of it.
Wait for the dlc
Not every support, but since everyone has to marry*
guy that teases woman ends up marrying her
Tale as old as time, really.
Is there actually any dlc plans or is this just copium
a like a boss reference in fucking 2025?
i truely hate translators with a passion
Yeah Takumi goes inside her on one route.
Imagine being one of the two most powerful beings on the planet and every day you just fight against the other most other powerful being and at night you have endless sex together
That would just be the absolute worst
They’re all people who haven’t done her route yet
played almost 50 hours now
25~ endings
please tell me theres another 150 hours leftcause theres literally nothing else to play
its hopelessly edgy and screams of 14 year old angst
i genuinely will never play one of these games as long as it uses this putrid art style
The game is on the verge of bankrupting the creators so of course there will be no DLC. I doubt we will even get QoL updates.
Kodaka talked about updated for the game (if it sell well if i remember correctly), whatever that means
I will kill all invaders.
I will kill all your enemies, Anon Babble.
Is there even a single autist that has 100% this game and wanted more?
Moko looks so fucking creepy, why couldn't she stay dead?
That sounds awful.
For any lurkers who want something better than the same repeated Uchi and Kodaka-shit:

This is fucking hilarious because it means that she doesn't even consider V'ehxness "a life". Holy fucking disdain.
On top of all the shit the game does wrong [route lock] might be the worst one of them all.
Can someone explain this meme to me? Why is this bot in every VN thread?
autist hates kodaka and uchikoshi and spends ten years ritualposting his list of alternate VNs
that's it
that's the meme
Why EVNs though? No one here plays those.
based beyond belief
Am I missing out on much if I don't bother crafting gifts for people?
Autism
You literally don't miss out on anything.
No. As far as I can tell it does nothing. The only things you're getting out of it are very short monologues on rank up. For the most part they are just throwaway stuff.
They don't even have unique reactions to the presents which honestly feels like Kodaka should be hanged by his balls for that.
fastest way to raise your grades
Gifts are basically forcing an interaction with a student when they don't have an interaction prompt at the cost of resources, which can be useful when you're trying to raise grades to upgrade specific skills
So I have read Cult of Takumi, V'ehxness, and Retsnom.
I chose to not reveal secret and now "truth" was mentioned in red text multiple times, so I assume I'm on the truth route?
If that's the case, should I read some of the routes on the kill Eito branch and come back later?
FAT FUCK
Retsnom
Also Killing Game probably
The trailer was one of the worst game trailers I have ever seen but the actual game is actually pretty fun so far.
You don't fuck Darumi on Retsnom. Nothing sexual there unless you're into vore/absorption.
Kinda, just follow the straight line from which you've branched of for your endings
You can and kinda have to read the routes you've mentioned at some point, and the point at which you have to read them doesn't unlock unless you finish your current route first, so it's up to you whenever you'll do it
I'd say that counts
I actually wouldn't mind DECIDE YOUR DESTINY! IT'S YOUR FUTURE! if S/F didn't shit all over it. Maybe that's why there's not much happy alternate endings but invalidating Killing Game, Eva, Coming of Age, and Cult of Takumi pisses me the fuck off.
She's malfunctioning
[NSW] The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy (Aniplex, 04/24/25) – 2,382 (29,114)
just pick your ending with your heart
thats what our hack wants you to do
It's invalidated because of S/F though
Yuri game
Is he seriously a hack? He did absolutely nothing to justify this sentiment. There is nothing that hundred lines does that is unique. In fact virtue's last reward executed the concept way better.
S.F. makes zero since since we see in endings such as Rebellion that Takumi gets to live on years past day 100, making the claims that he can't go past day 100 bullshit.
Most VNs are not great. At least she didn't name some overrated garbage like Steins;Gate or Muv Luv.
school days is and will be kino forevermore
She should have named some fucked shit like Maggot Baits or Starless. Characters like her are always half assed shit that immediately fold when put to the test.
No see, that exact point comes up and Hiruko says those routes are just weird exceptions that don't count. Don't think about it too hard, says Uchikoshi.
Any routes with Uchikoshi's trash like the bugs isn't canon.
Simple as.
Reading zombie route
Hemoanima doesn't work on them but takumi can just kick them over fences
Are you seriously telling me that a kick works but a giant mecha/jeep/bike does fuck all? I hope it gets explained in another route or ending cause this blows
I found it funny when she rec'd Sayooshi which will NEVER get tl'd anyway
Bitch if they don't count than S.F. simply can't happen since those endings would end everything.
I appreciate the consistent spoilers. This game is very long and tiresome to play at times so it will be a while till people have finished most of the content.
It makes sense that it doesn't. No, really, it's slightly less retarded than you'd think. What doesn't make any fucking sense is how Takumi just jams a pipe into a zombie's head but after that no one thinks of equipping the survivors with conventional weapons like spears and shit, for fuck's sake you have a metal shop, you can't tell me you can't craft that shit.
Darumi has three boobs
Implying she doesn't also like those
The important thing is that she didn't just pick out some top ranking of vndb slop.
Nobody will ever finish all the content, HL is literally an infinite game
She is goddamn ugly to be honest.
I dropped both of those and wasn't impressed with their first 15 or so hours at all. Am I missing out?
Noncanon. Her panties are pure black, not striped. It's literally on the quiz she gives you in Comedy
Is there a "hide text" option or not? I'm going crazy because every VN has that option.
Did these quizzes even matter? I fucked up Shizuhara's quiz and nothing happened.
There's no chance Killing Game didn't lead into at least a few threesomes with Darumi/Tsubasa, potentially foursomes with Yugamu
Considering it's a 60 dollars VN, there's a shitton of QoL that every VN has that is missing.
No skipping already read text (although not really necessary due to the way routing works)
No hide text box toggle
Menuing on routeshit is extremely slow and annoying to use
Combat just flat out having ZERO mouse support
And I'm sure there's more shit to complain about
Muv Luv is actually good if you make it through the whole series. Steins;Gate is meh but still a popular one.
Character Tier List (gameplay)
S- Gaku, Kyoshika, Darumi,
A- Hiruko, Eito, Takumi, Nozomi
B- Rest
C- Kurara
Steins Gate is actually very good despite being overrated. I don't know what people are smoking starting to hate just because it's popular.
I don't get how someone can praise something stunningly mediocre like hundred line and shit on steins gate in the same sentence.
my wife. i wish we could blow up together.
Tsubasa not S++
bricked
Bitch Takumi and Nozomi are all you need. They're in a tier of their own.
Only good thing about kurara is that her ult scales 3x with each execution.
And Nozomi should be S just because she turns explorations into a joke unless she blows herself out in russian roulette
Amazing; I actually hate Hiruko more than Gaku now.
Takumi has the best super in the game and almost every line up of enemies in the game comes almost perfect for him to clean with his long horizontal slash. You must be retarded to put the trash above him, especially Darumi with the shitty ass cross attack.
In what sense?
They're kinda overrated a bit. Nozomi's stun removal is nice but it costs AP, so yeah you're doing 20 damage or whatever, but only every other action. A lot of times Magadori is just as effective at killing bosses. Not that bosses are hard to kill anyway.
Played S.F.? That's a natural reaction to it.
unless she blows herself out in russian roulette
This happens very often since her health is awful. Also prolonging exploration should be counted as a negative.
She's playing carmageddon. The rest are playing peds.
chances this gets published in europe ?
it looks pretty good but i dont want to drop $80 - 100 on a import :(
hate this game
go on vndb
read review that gave 10/10
gameplay is shit but tolerable if you cheat, also half of the game is shit but the rest is good
I don't get it.
If you could ignore or otherwise trivialize the sheer amount of filler crap that drags the experience down, and focus on the good, it's like a 9/10. Unfortunately the filler crap is there, and it's like a 7/10 on a good route, and you fill your soul is drying up on a bad one.
luv Kako
I get it. Comedy route is comedy because the joke's on you.
It's actually unreal how shit she and Ginzaki are as units despite having so much hype behind them when they arrived.
Eh, at least she can oneshot mediums that are annoying to reach and Ima can be decent sometimes because of diagonals + flying.
She would be ok without her massive debuff after attacking once. But jumping pad and movement buff make her completely obsolete. Ginzaki and Kako were introduced as killers of specialized enemy types. Too bad these specialized enemy types only arrive like once in 100 days. Lmao.
I didn't care much for S;G. It's not shit, just overrated like you said.
A sniper being good at killing stationary single targets? That's too much man, she'd be overpowered. Brown wife one turn wiping the entire map? Yeah that's fine. Skipping a turn and then unloading all of your AP into a boss as pretty much every character? Yeah that's perfectly fine too.
Why would you need to cheat in such an easy SRPG? The game pretty much rewards poor play.
Oh man, I forgot about him too.
It's cheating to lessen the tedium not because of the challenge.
Mechanically the "specialized" enemies she kills aren't even very specialized. There's nothing about the steam engines that requires you shoot them down with Kako, all the enemies are samey as fuck. The story is forcing the idea, but go ahead and mow everything down with Tsubasa as usual, it'll work just fine, better in fact. Same with the midge.
As I said, it's meh. Does that count as shitting on it? Maybe, but it's my honest opinion.
I'm enjoying Hundred Line. I get that it's not a masterpiece but I am having much more fun right now than I ever did reading about Okabe's antics. I don't care if people think Steins;Gate is an objectively good VN, personally I disagree.
If the floaters were properly protected from the front then Kako would actually be very useful because you can't even hit enemies that are not exposed.
With regards to localization, I'm playing through the game with my JP Wife and we've definitely noticed some of the voiced lines have some liberties taken with them. I can't pull up any specifics because we didn't really care to note them down but there are some radically changed lines for sure.
Captcha: DR4G0, Danganronpa 4G confirmed.
It's ok to disagree and to like this game better but objectively speaking you can absolutely demolish Hundred Line in little pieces with how many flaws it has. Hundred Line will be absolutely nothing that will be remembered, you're looking at the height of its popularity now.
I dont get the popularity...
Some shit is noticeable without knowing JP at all, like sister/brother dearest shit.
And ofc the western as fuck meme and terminology sometimes used.
most popular girl!
Eito is literally the only character in the cast that is not retarded. And he also feels like the most genuine person despite acting the entire time.
Yeah it's hard for us since we're EN text JP voices, except the voiced lines where we can hear the difference between the EN and JP.
Eito because fujos and fags Takumi because he fucks all of the girls below.
Reminder that a big chunk of the danganronpa fanbase is women and fags
Takumi because he fucks all of the girls below
+ all the boys
Good writing, good character design, great music, the gameplay is enjoyable, it's a solid 8.5/10
if everyone else needs to look dumb for him to look good thats just makes me hate him
rest of the class can be smart when they need to but they are not allowed most of the time
When Ima stabbed Yakushiji I was actually pretty excited how they would resolve this. I kinda knew this VN would be mediocre when this had zero consequences.
Kako and Ima are some of the dumbest people despite them obviously being written to be above average in intelligence.
Ok, but why does Eito have more fanart than the girls? And by a large margin?
Whoodee?
I didn't think the cast was particularly that dumb. Naive sometimes, maybe. Even retards like Kyoshika sometimes came up with good ideas.
Meanwhile DR has characters who's only role is to be the class idiots (Hagakure, Kazuichi, Himiko) and are only there so you'd know which theories to throw out the window immediately and who to disagree with.
I wouldn't know, I don't look up male fanart because I am not homosexual
Slasher & Box of Calamities
They just spent two routes hammering in the obvious fact that Hiruko is a time looper, there are alien bugs, and the bug infection carries over in the time loop, sorta like hemoanima.
Tell me now. Is Mystery going to hammer me with the same stuff from the previous two routes that I already know?
I don't remember Kyoshika or Darumi ever saying anything smart. They were literally worse than any Danganronpa character.
mystery
Unlock Conditions: Reach Story Lock 2
Kinda. Fortunately you get to skip like 2/3 of all days so at least it isn't as dreadfully tedious as slasher
Darumi was the first to figure out there was a traitor among them
trains almost every waking moment
somehow still chubby
fujos are just weirdly productive
Huh?
She has thrown suspicions and wishful thinking out for literally the entire game. A broken clock is right twice a day.
yes my queen!
Doesn't take the boot off.
Takumi that's not how you fucking do it
My exact complaint with the ending. What the fuck?
God, Kurara is such a shit character it's unreal. I legitimately would not even rape correct her.
I bet you would take the mask off too huh faggot?
t. gaku
Comedy route
Slasher route
Gaku
Gaku wanted to fuck her.
only the maskless version
It's funny that Kurara is worst girl and second worst girl at the same time.
She's one of the heart characters.
She advises takumi on how to get everyones trust back while ima n co are just throwing accusations.
she suspects and foreshadows a bunch under her metatropes
She killsteals most evil actions takumi considers so his conscience is less stained.
The whole brain parasite thing was handled so poorly, especially on the SF route. I honestly thought it could be a very good plot point how Takumi was permanently affected by one and having to struggle to find a way to cure it despite timelooping. Instead it's just lol he got better despite Hiruko saying that she couldn't fix him in one timeline.
Then you find out that infested Kako is jumping between timelines which could be another good plot point, but instead it just gets handwaved to the side once again. The head parasites were a really good idea but were executed so fucking poorly that it just left a bad taste.
It felt like the writer for SF was allergic for finishing any plot thread and was just jumping around like a headless chicken. Getting to that route was more interesting than the route itself which was just pure dogshit. I managed to stumble into the story lock 3 very early on and then spent a lot of time trying to unlock it, feeling like I was always a bit closer to the "truth" and resolving everything.
Fujos are diehards and hes the main fujobait thats plot relevant.
Meanwhile the girls popularity are divided.
You're an idiot if you didn't expect the fujobait to get the majority of fan works though.
Why? Danganronpa appeals to a similar fanbase and yet there is lot less gay shit there.
You forgot the triple bossy deluxe line
character position on the minimap does not reflect his actual world position
Shit programming.
what site is this
A good programmer would have put in the exact location but even a shit programmer would have at least made 4 zones out of the corridor.
Darumi is one of the smartest ones there except for when she brought that bug back to the school and also got chomped by zombie Yugamu
isn't he a man?
He is a ftm tranny. You can see in the beginning the scar of the girl who he donated his uterus to.
good writing
LOL
good character design
the bare minimum
great music
mediocre
gameplay is enjoyable
it's shit
+ absurd levels of filler
+ godawful localization
+ 30 hour prologue
+ dogshit routes
It's a solid 5/10 and I'm being generous. If I could I would unplay this game.
What a thirsty tomat
No. Her max bond event has her saying she wants to give birth to a bunch of kids from different men to pass her excellent genes on and wants YOU in the cuck chair taking care of all the kids
This, the anon saying he had more fun playing this than S;G is brain damaged.
Her max bond event she offered the cuck chair but upgraded you to the position of being an actual member in her insemination squad.
Still gonna be sitting at home while she gets railed elsewhere. Or even worse she actually does bring them home
Depends on how much of a cuck Takumi is.
Shizuhara went out with friends again tonight. I'm a bit worried but maybe I'm just overthinking it. Eh well I'll think about it later time to sleep.
ding dong
Isn't this shit shutting down in September?
Imagine resigning yourself to that fate when there's several girls aspiring to be tradwives who are into you.
I'm pretty sure I don't have to wait until September until I can press alt+F4
That's tribe nine, the gacha made by the same company.
They share staff, especially the artist
Pretty based that VN company gachas keep failing.
If only FGO failed 10 years ago
do the 'true' ending
go back and kill eito
so anywhere here's the morgue that never got brought up in the other route
even though everyone would have wanted to restore the other dead bodies
God damnit this is so tiring. They couldn't even bother getting different writers to be consistent.
Also We don't believe you're from the future as said
It's most likely that they found out that theres a civil war going on in the complex
The squid shit is so fucking retarded because it kinda gets glossed over in the end but the implications are just catastrophic
