It’s been two years since this topic started, and it’s still going strong (which is udnerstandable, since there’s a whole Andes of eroge in existence, and only a small hill of localised stuff)
I’d bet that some of the Nitro+ recommendations in this thread would get nominated, but I would still like to see a GxB some day. It’s wishful thinking, but hey: thats what this thread is all about.
6mb of text in the game script. ~4.5x the length of Yume Miru Kusuri, stuff like that, you get the idea. But if that wasn’t enough-
It’s very hard to read. Pre-WW2 language, full of archaic crap you basically don’t see anywhere. The kanji concentration is incredibly high, although admittedly furnished with gratuitous use of ruby/furigana. The eroge also makes heavy use of symbolism and imagery (red grass and butterflies, anyone?)
The ruby/furigana is also used incredibly creatively as well, in non-standard ways, which would pose a lot of other challenges for translators.
That said, it’s a great story–I’m enjoying the heck out of it. It’s everything a good eroge needs to be:
incredibly well written
incredibly well drawn
extremely depressing
in general, a total mindfuck
Don’t know how the story is going to resolve at this stage-- at this point it could basically go anywhere. That said, if people think Kazoku Keikaku’s story is slow, this probably isn’t the best eroge for them =P
Oh yeah, and there’s 114 H scenes. The eroge is so long that there’s still huge breaks between them, but the scenes often come thick and fast when they do appear.
I think I’ll pass on that kind of game. More for the “depressing nature” than for the length though. Quite tired of despair, suffering, and turmoil right now. There is enough of that in the real world.
I would really like some more light-hearted VN’s that deal with mature concepts and sometimes deals with the grim aspects of the word. Some drama is nice, but I’m tired of being beaten to death with it. Most of the one’s currently out seem to be… off the wall and a bit silly (ie Let’s Meow Meow… love the game, but is in no way a serious light-hearted affair).
I can’t count the HCG because I haven’t finished the game, but there’s 196 CGs in total.
So yeah, there’s HCG duplication, like in a lot of ero-heavy titles, but there’s a decent enough amount of HCG and plenty of variations that it doesn’t seem too blatantly repetitive.
May have already been said a few times, but I would much like to see a full translation of Maji-Puri, ever since I played the demo it’s been something I looked forward to.
But it’s been a long time since the last time we heard about Haruka, bullet buttler, … from PP so I doubt we’ll ever have it.
At least there is a little chance for Bellstars.
Argh please no… When will you learn ? I played half of I’m gonna nurse you 2 and it was enough for me to understand Trabulance only make stupid sex romps.
(but I’m sure I’m gonna serve you is probably better than I’m gonna nurse you)
Tsukushite Agechau 4 is many times better than the “I’m Gonna Nurse You” games. It actually has a very good story to it; it starts out light hearted but it soon takes a dramatic turn at a certain pint in each heroine’s route Okay, except maybe in Leo’s route
