Ugh, no offense to you, but I personally do not see the appeal of a game like APC. To this day, I still refer to it as my worst decision in terms of eroge.
OK, now that I have that out of my system, it would be useful if you told us what in particular about the game you liked so that we can give suggestions as to what else you might enjoy. If you enjoyed the fact that it was a sex romp, then you are pretty much safe with anything made by ZyX, from what I understand (due to what I��ve heard here, and the experience of playing APC, which is a ZyX game).

I’ve actually heard good things (for the most part) about Sagara Family, despite the sex romp nature of it (which seems to be par for the course since it is a ZyX game). That being, that it actually has a semi-decent plot, and lots of humor.

I actually enjoyed Sagara Family, and I generally hate sex-romps. The story is so-so, but the humor is where it shines.

#137

Perhaps, except “Chain - the lost footsteps” which actually has a quite solid plot, even if some of the sexscenes feet a bit - gratuituos!

#138

I didn’t like The Sagara Family much at all - whilst there was some story, it wasn’t particularly well done and the pacing wasn’t great either. It did have some funny moments, but for me they were offset by the scenario. The music was terrible, and the art was a bit above average, but not as good as his work on some other ZyX games. For an eroero game, the sex is the most important thing, and despite there being a lot of it, most of the scenes were a bit on the short side. I guess whilst sex-romps really aren’t my preferred genre, objectively The Sagara Family is a reasonable game, and it’s probably the best relatively light themed/ero heavy game currently available in English. If anything though, it felt like the writer wasn’t really in his element (he’s now working for raiLsoft writing more in the mystery genre. His first title for them was well received, and the official site for the second should be open very soon). [Edit: And comparitively, whilst the The Sagara Family is a very straightforward read, ??? (although I’ve only played the demo of it) has by far the most complicated Japanese I’ve encountered in an eroge.]

I liked the Sagara family. The story wasnt too exiting. But its good fun and nice relaxation. And the humor is pretty good too :slight_smile:
BTW I havce played the game and I havent unlocked the scene “Sexual Harrasement Director” Any ideas?

You’ll notice that I said that ZyX was “pretty much” a safe bet. When I wrote the post, I remembered something about a previous conversation on the boards where someone mentioned an exception to the track record ZyX has for their games.

#142

I’m surprised there isn’t a guide on gameFAQS yet.

#143

@Le nuage:
Following the guides there still doesn’t reveal that particular scene… :cry:

#144

I used the guide on gamefaqs and the only path I couldn’t see with it was Sanae’s good ending (because there was a mistake and they didn’t give the right choice when you have to buy the phone strap.

Are you talking about Sanae’s or Maria’s bad ending ?

#145

… there IS no guide on gamefaqs.

If there was, I’d have it already.

#146

Yes, it is true that there is no guide for APC there yet. However, as far as I can tell from the discussion, they are talking about Sagara Family, not APC, in regards to a guide on the site.

#147

I’m talking about a particular Arisa scene named “Sexual Harrasement Director”. I don’t think it’s an ending. To be honest it’s been a very long while, since I played the game, so I don’t remember which walkthrough I used. I just remember that that particular scene was missing from the library.

#148

Ah… my mistake, I didn’t pick up on that.

#149

I think, that the difference between APC and the Sagara Family is, that in the Sagara Family the sex scenes are mostly postponed to the end of the game. Therefore it was easy to skip some of the scenes, if you thought, that there were too many sex scenes without enough variation.

This unfortunately isn’t the case in APC, which has way too many sex scenes. I got bored and made some coffee, while one of the sex scenes continued on autoplay. When the sex scene ended, I expected the story to continue, and it did. But only for a minute, then a new long sex scene began. I wasn’t ready for that at all, and I found out that there were so many similar sex scenes that I just stopped playing the game. If I only wanted sex scenes all the time then I would just watch porn instead.

The Sagara Family was an acceptable game. But the story wasn’t that good though, and most of the characters were not to my taste either. I am not to sex between a young man and a mature women. So I didn’t like the sex scenes with the mother. And Emily was just irritating with all her cosplay. Arisa wasn’t at all to my taste either, because I don’t like such weak nymphomaniacs, who can’t say no to other men. But Sanae and Ruruka were fun to play and they saved the game for me.

I don’t know if I will ever finish APC. But I will probably not try this game again before I don’t have any other game to play. (Fortunately I bought many other games at the same time.)

@Le nuage:
I already tried all the guides there, that particular scene is not revealed in any of them. LOLZ :slight_smile: :roll:

#151

Yes, that was one of my main issues with APC. That and some scenes that made me shudder in disgust. As for Sagara Family, it sounds like maybe it is in a format similar to CSMT. CSMT has a big block of story, then a turning point, then you switch between about a day’s worth (in game time of course) of story and a scene that night with one of the girls until you reach the end of the game.

#152

Nah, first you’d get on a path of either the mother, the older sisters or the younger sisters. Then, you’d get on the path of a specific girl. And the ero scenes were plenty in every part of the game.

#153

The ero scenes in the Sagara family didn’t bother me at all, until the end of each path. But then instead of just ending the game, the ero scenes just continued and continued - even for days after a marriage. That is if you played a path, where you only ended up with one girl. But surprisingly you only got a single ero scene, if you ended up with two girls. I just didn’t see any reason in this at all. But maybe they thought, that they could save a bad game by offering extra ero scenes, when you finished the game.

APC is very different, because there nearly isn’t a break between the ero scenes. They just go on and on and a long time before you are approaching the end of the selected path. This was so irritating, because I wanted to continue the story. Not just to watch an endless steam of ero scenes. So I stopped playing this game.

#154

Is there a better guide then the one at http://faqs.ign.com/articles/896/896940p1.html ?

That one seems to be missing some details.
