First of all ill say ive been waiting on a game like this for a while, one that focuses on story…

At first this game looks like a short, quick fun, and ive only been though 1 ending and it appears it was a good one with Mio, wont even say how many hours it took me to read though and play out that entire scenario, just know i got it yesterday…

This game focuses on story and character backgrounds, you learn alot of the girls in the game… where as in some other Bishoujo games you learn, “oh they have a crush one you” and thats it, here you learn where, and why they do the things they do… when people compared this to crescendo at first i read the description and thought, oh my… another easy no story game. then i started playing… and about a half hour into it decided, whoa… not even close to that.

Ok, I like Angel Smile’s animation, always have… all the girls have their own style and match their character

Game play, Ok heres where i was shocked that game was a total 180 from what i was expecting, you read the description and think its gunna be a small story line game… But, really reguardless of what you think it may be, its has a good story line. its really not, ill post more as i get through a few more endings, but so far its really a good game.

Good to see some positive feedback about the game. I am a bit hesitant to order this game, but with more feedback like this I’ll probably get it pretty soon. I have been going through some short happy go lucky, lots of sex games lately, I could use another one that takes some time to play out.

#3

So another good game’s finally come out in the USA.

I’m tempted to buy it now, but I’m going to wait until a patch comes out instead. :confused:

#4

Well… technically this game can end in 5 seconds… much like that one descision in Gloria… pick it… game over…

this is NOT a spoiler… if u consider 5 seconds into the game a spoiler… bah!

Pity… sounds like this is a title I woudl love to buy, except for the problem about not being able to play it. sigh

good thing that it’s a good game (in story), i’m kind of sick of all those (as somethingawful would say):
a)This is delicious! simply the best!
b)Not even a dog dying from starvation would eat this
----------------

One tho other hand, i have the so called “anti-vm decease” XD XD, so, i’m still fighting with myself with myself to decide to or not to buy it
(i’m starting to think that i’m useless as a cracker -i lack the will to do it- and that it’s kind of stupid to wait all i had to wait for a Lets meow meow crack when i can use dark_shiki (i think it was you, if not, then “whoever it was” ) way of “bypass” that even when it’s not the ideal thing, at least it’s enough -i dont reboot my pc that much-)

You connect by modem, then?

And yes, I posted and developed the "public" procedure, though it seems I'm not the first to discover it.

Sorry to hear that, old man! *waves EF's copy in the air*

#11

I guess I used up all my karma getting the previous games before everyone Oh well if I don’t get anything within the week it’s time I make a phone call…

#12

Second Run though, Got the good Narumi ending… a rather odd ending, not an easy one to aquire thats for sure, have to do things perfect, but again another ending with alot going on… find out alot of about Narumi though the ending since it is a heavy story game as you read in my previous post

#13

Mmmmmhhh, sounds like a THIEF thing, in my opinion (living in Italy, i've learned to use EMS mail only, for this and other reasons...).

EMS?
I cant believe something like that actually happens, i'm scared of some spyware getting my creddit card number or something like that though, that's why i ask 3rds to buy it for the store and then resell it, i buy it a little more expensive but thousands of time more secure XD

Nope, 1mb Adsl, but i dont like the idea of someone checking my HARDWARE specs for a stupid game, i think there is no diff between vm and another spyware out there...

Well, I'm afraid the bypass won't help you then. They're still going to get your hardware specs. All the bypass does is disable V-mate temporarily, and you have to log on legitimately to activate the bypass whenever you restart your computer. That's why it's not particularly useful to people with stable always-on connections and no technical problems.

Insured mail with tracking number, the only system for safe and sure delivery.

Note for Italian Netsurfers:
The Japanese EMS Mail Service ( http://www.post.japanpost.jp/english/ems/ems.html ) doesn't track EMS mail after arrival in Italy. You need to use the tracking service of our Poste Italiane for that (look here: http://www.poste.it/online/dovequando/paccocelereinternazionale.shtml ). And if you don't believe in the need for EMS mail, just look here: http://forums.ebay.it/thread.jspa?threadID=300056275&tstart=440&mod=1111070395261 [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/eek.gif[/img] [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/eek.gif[/img] [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/mad.gif[/img] [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/mad.gif[/img] [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/eek.gif[/img] [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/eek.gif[/img].
