Do you have a link for the chapters? That ended really abruptly and I would like to read more.

only case 2 and raven notes are complete, i think case 2 is more interesting than the first case and raven's notes is really unique, cool read but it makes me want even more

Ehh, this last case. It's been pretty intriguing so far, this whole phantom stuff especially is neat but what's really annoying me right now is how these people still mock Phoenix in the court. (AA5 spoilers)
Also it's gonna be a real fucking slap in the face if
e: also this game overdoes the last millisecond objections. too many, they're starting to lose their impact, it's actually pretty easy to guess when one's coming.
e2: aa5 has probably the best judge's side comments though, they make me laugh every time
Edgeworth and even fucking Apollo first go "man I really don't want to say but gee I think it's possible that she's the killer" and not even 10 seconds pass and they're all smug in Phoenix' face saying "YEA SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE SHE'S NOT THE KILLER!!!" I want to believe they're just trying to get him riled up so he'll dig harder for the truth, and I can probably forgive Apollo's part since his best friend died etc, but man this feels dumb right now.
Also it's gonna be a real fucking slap in the face if
Athena is in fact guilty of killing Apollo's buddy.

Thanks! The premise is really interesting. Let's hope for a anime or another game.http://www.suiminchuudoku.net/tl/index.php?title=Phenomeno

I think Phoenix is still mocked because he hasnt really been a lawyer for 8 years or whatever, quite a long time. I liked the Phantom stuff too [
I like Simon in this game, a great character and not a whiny b*tch like Fran was or smug like early Edgeworth. Having said that, I liked facing off against Edgeowrth again.

To be fair I think it's the first game to actually take the AO rating and get a physical in years, if not ever.

Definitely, Simon was awesome!
So yeah, finished AA5. I'm not gonna deny it was a bit disappointing. Case 3 had an awesome setting and great characters, even though the plot was a bit boring. Case 5 dragged on for too long and the first half of the court was kind of stupid, but thankfully the villains shone in both cases. Especially
Phantom
I really liked how his own face was never shown. Kind of a tragic villain, really.
3D graphics were fantastic, the anime cut scenes were really good and music was, while not nearly as good as the original trilogy's music, still very good.
Yeah, good game (great even?), even though I didn't really care for 3 of the 5 cases. Gonna start AAI1 tomorrow, I'm excited.
e: downloaded the dlc case too but eh, i'm gonna wait and do it later
e2: didn't realize the aai games are actual point-n-clicks. awesome!
Well, I finished Remember11 today and I while I definitely understand how unsatisfying the end is to some (it leaves you with a bunch of important unexplained mysteries and a cliffhanger) it didn't bother me that much and hardly ruins the experience. Had a better time with it than Ever17 to be honest. The latter might have the better story/ending, but it's not even funny how much better the pacing in R11 is (and even further improved upon in 999 and VLR).
There is still alot of online research for me to do before I fully understand what happened, but let me get this straight (R11 Spoilers):
Anyway, I don't think I'll play Never7 unless its sci-fi twist ending is really, really worth it. I can only handle so much dating simulator before my boredom outweighs my love for this kind of thriller/mystery VN.

Since I guess the mysterious third personality were the babies, those infant twins murdered Enomoto and happily splashed around in its blood right? That is so fantastically fucked up,

What sort of VN is that? Sounds like a romance VN/slice of life perhaps but where everything is done very slowly?

I started playing Dangon Ronpa Trigger Happy Havoc and I'm really liking it. I should have played this a long time ago.
I have no idea, I remember the first time I found this game was when Siliconera mentioned the japanese release last year.
It's a great game, I'm sure you're in for a treat.
Ok, after playing through a lot more of Romanesque, I've updated my feelings on the game.
At first I felt that it was decent, but the more I play, the more I like it... even if my strategy for the game portion is to just spam Dicere Herba and Celero for the first 4 turns and then use Invitatio and Aria's fireworks spell the 5th turn; In fact, this game easily reaches a 8.5/10 score with me. I just have one *tiiiny* issue with the game...
Unlocking Princess Fianna's route is a fucking Pain in the Ass.
You see, I've played the game three times already, and I have unlocked all the routes (that don't rely on the diplomas you get, for those I'm going to download a 100% save and read them on the gallery menu), except for hers. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but it's something that's really mining my enjoyment of the game at this stage, since it's the only thing that I'm missing so far. I've tried searching for clues on what you need to do to unlock her route, but my search has just hit a dead end.
If any kind soul here has played the game and know how to, I ask you to please share what I am supposed to do ;_;

Fianna's was the one route I couldn't unlock either. I couldn't figure out what I was missing. I eventually gave up and watched her epilogue on a 100% save.

Read the Unlimited Blade Works route. The three routes in the FSN VN have to be read in a forced order. The ufotable FSN anime (the recent one) is an adaptation of UBW, but it won't be finished until the end of Spring.
Thanks! but it´s not the recent one I think, is Fate/Zero (so the recent one is UBW, I got that messed up).
Fate/Zero is other route?

I know I quotted a pretty old post, but I find it really funny that 999 and Zero Escape are at both the top and bottom of this list. Just funny seeing them all out like that. xD Wonder if Uchikoshi did that on purpose ;o

Fate/Zero is a prequel to FSN that was written after FSN. It's quite good, but if you are this deep in the VN, I'd probably watch it after finishing the VN.
Ah, perfect, thanks again.
Now to check if I can get the new route

This is what I did, and while it's a great timesaver, part of me wishes I had explored on my own, because some of the Taiga Dojo are hilarious, and I think I only saw one my first time playing.
Acosta, finding your way into the different routes is actually quite easy compared to some other VNs. And keep in mind that UBW and HF have two endings each, so make sure you get them both (Fate only has one, so you haven't missed anything yet).

VN GAF, Clannad kickstarter worth backing? Only about a day and half left, so will need to decide soon.
Assuming you already know you like the medium at least a little bit and have a lot of patience (not because the game is boring, because it's unbelievably long) and want to read arguably Maeda's best work overall, then probably?
Sekai's work is reputable at the very least if that's what you're worried about; the physical edition upgrade that they're doing for everyone is also a nice touch. If you're worried about bang for your buck, like I said, the game is crazy long. It took me over 50 hours to get to the second main section of the game last time at which point I actually dropped it because it was taking up too much of my time, but that's why I'm in for round two.

Ah will probably back it then, I'll probably go with a physical copy.
Ain't got a steam account anyway, don't hit me *hides*
Thanks for the reply =)

Ep 5 & 8 are the best ones.
I think that the end is actually great ..
The pay-off is great if you actually don't go for the bad ending ..
I know most of you guys are aware, but it's the last 40 hours of the CLANNAD Kickstarter.
This April is like the best month ever. Heavens. Two yuri VNs in a month.
Yeah, seriously. Both quality releases from established studios as well.
Choices in When They Cry game scare me.
I actually thought that was it for Kogado, what with the long silence after the previous White Robe pc port. I hope it does well. I know I'll grab at least two copies.
I loved the hospital work setting the first had. Such a breath of fresh air. The sequel goes back to a school but at least it's nursing school and not a regular one.

DOn't be scared , by the time you need to make that choice , the correct answer should have been drilled into your head.
Danganronpa.

If you want similarity in terms of plot, Ever17. Similarity in terms of exploration/logic puzzle gameplay, Hotel Dusk or Phoenix Wright.
listen to this guy Knurek, he's right
Really good. Some of the best I've played in recent years.
You're going to want to take my advice on this: if you have a (3)DS (or iOS device) play 999 before you continue playing VLR. You seem to enjoy visual novels and both Zero Escape games are must-plays in the genre, but you will forever regret finishing them in the wrong order. The second game spoils some major twists from the first game. The entire ending of 999, generally regarded as the best part of the game and perhaps one of the most mindblowingly awesome experiences in gaming, will be ruined for you by playing VLR first. This is a warning, go back while you still have the chance (first few hours of VLR should be spoiler-free). You will thank me later.
That said, if you don't have a (3)DS or iOS device go ahead and resume playing/reading VLR. You don't need to have read 999 to enjoy it as it is a great standalone experience.
But seriously, even if you don't own a DS consider borrowing one from friends or family to experience 999. It will be worth the trouble, I promise! ;-)
Danganronpa 1 is great, Danganronpa 2 is really great. Both are awesome experiences and fantastic visual novels for newcomers to the genre. I believe the first game is on sale on EU PSN right now, definitely worth buying if you like the premise and aesthetic.
