I'm really getting into Raging Loop. I love how Fusaishi uses the fact that he's looping to gently caress with people. The whole bit with Kiyonosuke and Rikako in the dining hall in the second route was hilarious.

Gonna play Sakuranomori Dreamers today, the Moonstone moege/horror VN. I'm insanely excited, I've been hyped for this one for like 3 years now and then yesterday found out it's been translated for a month and a half lmao

In retrospect Raging Loop was fairly flawed in a few ways, but it benefited from enjoyable characters and good music/voice acting. The plot was also coherent (which is more than you can say for many stories), though the ending and broader plot stuff was less interesting to me than the actual wolf games. I ended up enjoying it more than most VNs I've played. I'd probably put it on a similar level to Rewrite.

The ending is what kind of ruined Raging Loop for me. It felt like there was massive plot holes, and it left a bunch of plot threads hanging. I know some of that stuff was probably explained in the extra stuff, but I feel like it should have been dealt with in the narrative. I especially like how a little girl wanders off in the middle of nowhere, but our protagonist thinks that she will be perfectly okay and she can handle herself. (Yes, I know she is a cameo from some other game) It just felt like they wanted a rational explanation for everything, but still wanted the player to believe something supernatural beyond the time loop was going on.

I'd recommend doing at least the sheep epilogue.

As someone who has not played raging loop, do the epilogues fill in the holes enough to make a cohesive whole, or does it kinda pull a zero time dilemma?

The ending as it stands was satisfying enough to me, and I haven't read any of the epilogue stories. I did go through Revelation mode, but that's more for fun side scenes and a few more character moments. It's probably the weakest part of the game but everything leading up to it was good enough for me to not worry about it too much. Besides, even in itself it's a good emotional conclusion to the story.

I beat Raging Loop. Very good!!!! I liked it alot. ending/postgame stuff: I do think they dug a bit too greedily with the worldbuilding stuff. Introducing all these factions and powers in a bonus scene was kinda wack. Especially since it kind of muddles things. The Sheep scene implies that Haruaki has a latent Jinx power of "Magician" which allows him to turn magical things into the mundane...which implies that we don't actually know what REALLY was going on during the loops he wasn't present in since the stuff all became logical and done by humans because he believed it was and had logic to back it up...The first route also was clearly magical in nature since he wasn't thinking about the scenario logically so, is it implying that it was all magical and he just warped reality into making it done by humans? It's weird...

I'm in the middle of reading You and Me and Her and it's a wild ride. I'd heard about it before it got released and had been looking forward to it. After that, I may try to muscle through Subahibi but it's rough.

I might give you and me and her a go after I finish yu-no. I’m enjoying it so far. I’m even kind of liking the whole it’s aliens thing they got going on, even if I’m not exactly correct about the reasoning or implications.

LibrarianCroaker posted:A new thread in which to say Fatal Twelve is my favorite visual novel and more people should play it. Playing it right now. I'm currently just past week 7, and I don't want to unfairly judge it before I'm done, but there's a some things I don't like about the writing so far: - It really likes to hide information from the reader, both by means of convenient amnesia as well as by simply not telling you things the characters already know or should know. - There's a bunch of coincidences that really feel like the writer just couldn't think of a better way to move the plot forward - The rules of the Divine Selection don't seem well thought out...which leads to weird behavior, specifically: Keiko, Sonya and Miharu all definitely want Rinka to win (unless Miharu is playing the really long con). Ushizuka and Yuu were cooperative as well and probably wouldn't have minded helping her out. Yet not a single one of them shared their cards with Rinka outside of Keiko telling her Alan's name. Which didn't help at all because he wasn't even trying to hide it Week 7 was cool though, I'm hoping they don't waste that momentum and slow down now.

Generating a "cause of death" or "regret" card normally requires that you have some kind of basis to believe the information it holds, as we saw in that scene with Team Rocket early on where they were figuring out the businessman's information. Cards that you start with or win from someone else during Divine Selection are a special case where you have the information without the basis for it, so you might not be able to use them to give the same card to someone else.

Sakuranomori Dreamers was kind of a mess, in retrospect. Fun to go through as it's happening, but in retrospect they almost immediately get outright bored of their entire premise. They only really bother to do 2 actual nightmarish dream scenarios, then there's one that's just "oh now this character's a BDSM queen in her dream, that's it" and then they drop it entirely except for a brief 5 minute segment near the end. Instead of dreams the protagonist and antagonist both suddenly go Parasyte the Maxim and it's just really stupid and boring. The whole point of a premise where you invade the dreams of serial killers and fight them within those dreams is to lead up to the big cheese, the real hosed up motherfucker, the huge showdown, and instead you fight him in a parking garage like he's a Resident Evil boss. I was looking forward to this game for years so I'm very disappointed.

Finished the 8th week now. Even if it doesn't directly give you the cards, you can use the information on it to figure out enough to get the card yourself. Like what just happened with the number IX guy

tfw when you snipe a 2 and a half month old post... At any rate, they bungled it enough to have to make an extra plot arc just to make everything fit together. And I'm not a fan of the old character art style.

The sad part is, if they’d take time and let it run, it would work fine. People are familiar enough with the format.

The secret bonus endings in Raging Loop are literally invitations to write fanfics. This is not something I expected, but I welcome it nonetheless.
