The Videogame News Thread

Fucking finally. The two sequels have been staring at me accusingly every time I look at my wishlist, but I've been refusing to play them out of order.

[Skull]

All right, I'll give it a look since you recommend it.

[weeblord]

Glad to hear it, kings. If you like VNs with an in-depth world, you'll love utawarerumono. It's got a really cool ainu themed fantasy setting. The protag of 2 and 3 is also one of my favorite protags of all time (RIP Keiji Fujiwara...).

[Mattias]

You have no excuse not to play this GOAT.

I have a Mac. Japan never develops for Mac.


I did watch the anime though, and yeah Haku is so much more fun than Hakuoro.

[weeblord]

You gotta see him in Uta3. Absolute king. There was an anime announced for 3 but there hasnt been any further news...

[Mattias]

The Uta series is on my list for when I finally cave and buy a gaming PC. It would have to be the original version of 1 though because I need the probably terrible porn in there, just to know.

Well, I guess I'll have to wallow in guilt, because I don't think I have the attention span to read a full-length VN anymore unless they port it to mobile (or print it in paper, ha ha ha sob). I can't read on PC, monkey brain needs to push buttons.

[weeblord]

Plug in a controller, these are originally made for playstation anyway. Got gameplay too.

[Deathhappens]

Got gameplay too.

Wait, it does?

[weeblord]

Yeah, its got SRPG gameplay segments. The little chibi 3D models are surprisingly good quality too, the attack animations are very smooth.

[Deathhappens]

Well damn, I guess I have no excuse now.

Getting a nice Disgaea vibe out of this, too.

...Wasn't the protagonist's name Hakuoro? Is this a Steam derp or something to do with the names being based on Ainu mythology and such?

[weeblord]

Its got 2 protags. Hakuoro is MC in 1, Haku is MC in 2 and 3.

Edit: oh wait youre talking about the spelling thing! Thats because of the ainu thing. The old names im used to from the eroge fanTL and aniem such as Hakuoro are actually technically wrong cause they assume the names are japanese so they use a more japanese romanization, while the new tls use a more ainu like romanization.

[Mattias]

Yeah, but that says Hakuowlo.



Now I'm just imagining him turning into a Giant Owl in the climax of the game.

[weeblord]

Yeah i just skimmed so i didnt notice, but the explanation is yes its because ainu. Edited my post.

[Mattias]

Ahh, it's Saber v2.0, only if Deen actually called her Artoria.



Wait it's been a while since I saw that one, did they use Altria back then in the official or was that a FGO retcon?

[LegalLoliLover]

Well, all in on Nintendo, then:

[Deathhappens]

For a second I was about to make a Tsukihime remake joke. I guess we can't do that anymore, huh.

Guess it's time to move on to Mahoyo 2?

[Mattias]

DDD or Girls Work, for sure.

[eddyak]

Yeah, but that says Hakuowlo.

You're lucky, I misread that as Hakuowo.
