Critical Point

Will peaperi released a Critical Point next year. When you guys get this game, you guys wont to race, who finish the game first. If you guys like to do it, I will post a rules.

You also have to take into account various endings. Do you count a win as the first person to get an actual good ending…the true ending? Or do you count it as the person to get 100% Graphics? I’d rather just play the game and see what happens.

Will we do by the time. Here is the rules of the game. My rules is to who ever complete the 100% of the CGs on Critical Point just post a “time how long to take to complete the 100% of CGs.” Will once you post the time you can play all over again. Since, lot of people like to play manyways, and they like to take time go head. If you guys don’t like this you don’t have to play it. But eventually I will post the time when I got 100% of CGs. Once you post the time you can play all over again.

Do you mean how long as in ‘playing time’ or ‘overall time’? What I mean is, it usually takes me a few weeks through play through a game but the actually time spent playing might add up to only a few hours. (Sorry, but that whole ‘real life’ thing gets in the way of my game play. )

Here’s a race for you guys: try to get into Makoto’s room in ‘Tokimeki Check-In!’. and I don’t mean peeping into her room either. In the CG room, there’s one CG that’s unmistakably her room, but I can’t figure out how to get in there. I’ve gotten all the endings, even the Ume-san ending, and I haven’t come across that CG yet. Now there’s a challenge.

Will you have to lock the CGs on Makoto-san you have to peek into her room.
Will about the Critical Point, I heard that their are many enings. Thats so cool. That game will be more challenge. Will once i got the game I will play non-stop. That how I play on the Tokimeki-Check In. Will I forgot the time, how long it took me to complete the Toki-Check. But I start on friday, and I finish on sunday afternoon. I post the race about the Critical Point because I'm the fun of the Bishojo games. Also, in the Japan lot of people get the game what they wont and they will complete fast. They do this in Japan because their company released the new games every week or every month. That why who like to play Bishojo games, they will finsh fast, so they can play different games. Will I said "time" lot of people get confuse so lets play by "Hour." [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/cool.gif[/img]

What’s the point of doing a race? Rules for what??? Beside the fact of the shipping time (I live outside the US), and the fact that some of us have to study/work, everyone should take his/her own pace to finish the game. This is not L.O.R.D. or Diablo II, where everybody was rushing to see who got level 99 first…

I still recall back when Snow Drop began shipping… Everybody was posting about the game while I was still waiting for it.

I suppose there is some [dubious] achievement in getting the clothes off of the girls quicker than everyone else.

Hmm, Well, I just wanted to say that I look forward towards Critial Point very much . Hmm… Will it be done very soon, Kumi.chan? You’ve said before that It’d be finished around Christmas/January…

Maybe by end of January... but it probably wouldn't be good to count on that due to the Japanese schedules and due to the fact that we are going to be at Internext the second week of Jan.

Of course, if the Western market would learn to accept the original CG... and make it vocally known that they want the original, exactly like the Japanese release... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] (In other words, no retouching, redrawing details, removal of any mosaic, etc - just genuine original Japanese art exactly the same as for the Japanese release except for any menus and such being translated.) That would save time and resources, at least.

Huh? The games is still THAT far off in the furure? Well, that's alrigt, since it may give me enough time (and money) to buy Snow Drop while I'm waiting [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Of course the rescourses would be saved if the mosaics weren't removed - but you know how some people complain about it when the mosaic's still there... But... Accoring to the Dokusen poll so far, (92 people right now [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]) most people would still buy the game, even if the mosaics had to remain in the sexual scenes CG... It seems so far like it's actually only a minority that would want the mosacis to be removed... But then again, it's a little to early to say [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img].

OK lot of people complain about the game on Critical Point about the race. So I will change it. Will how about this forget about the race. Will who ever finish the game, just post a time.

Yeah, I also think racing to finish it before everyone else means ruining the gameplay. And if you are racing you probably will skip as many lines, I have heard of those people, how lame >_<

FXHO, me too I live in Belgium so it might take a week or two longer after Americans get the game, not fair

(...)

BTW, just wondering, is it really so? I don't remember many people complaining about it on the boards, for instance. Or even if they did... Wouldn't it be a case of "vocal minority"? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]
Personally, I don't care at all (about the mosaics). But then, I'm used to playing the Japanese games themselves, so... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

Hmm, does that mean that you can read Japanese? If so, you're a damn lucky bastard [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

Is it wrong that i was aroused by that? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

Anyway "Maid Story" had mosiac and it didn't really bother me... I mean sure uncensored stuff is great but, if i can only get the game censored i don't really care... Except the black bars used for censoring, those i really hate, it stands out way to much.

It's not luck, it's reward for years of self-learning for the sole purpose of understanding anime/manga/bishoujo games! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

Now's a good time to start, SB. It doesn't take that much time, just a class a day, five days a week, and take 2 to 3 hours a day to study, beef up your vocabulary and grammar. You'll be well on your way. If you're not in school at the moment, look around your local community college programs or college continuing education program and enroll. Then the rest is play Bishoujo games and watch anime, familiarize yourself with the speech patterns and sentence construction.

Well, the hard thing is to take classes in Japanese, since there isn't any education programs in Japanese anywhere where I'm living most of the time...
More thsn once, I've tried to talk the principical at my high school into starting some classes in Japanese, but she's saying that they don't have a teacher in Japnese, and that's the problem... and also, it's unfortunately not as easy for me to learn Japanese from watching anime as for others [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/frown.gif[/img]

But I'm still searching, so sooner or later, I should be able to find some education program where I can learn Japanese, but we'll see...

Learning Japanese from Anime is a really bad model unless you are well versed in Japanese culture, due to the ie-centric consciousness. I didn't learn my Japanese from Anime, although I tried taking notes a few times and it was just a mess. I cannot stress the importance of having a Japanese teacher, because sparring is especially important in order to nail down the accents and inflections. I would recommend that you pull together a bunch of friends who share your passion in anime as well as a keen desire to learn Japanese and approach the principal, or if the principal is unswayed approach your teachers and ask them if they could help you either contact a Japanese teacher or solicit one through their formal or informal social networks. If all else fails, there must be some community college around your area that offers a Japanese course.
