Wait the Vita still has releases? In 2020? Somehow the thread title stays relevant even over 5 years later

Started playing Raging Loop. It's pretty drat good. It's literally just a real game of Werewolf, and the main character isn't the ultra passive blando we usually get in VNs. He literally dies because he's by default, too proactive. Good drat game. E: Just finished the first route. Really curious about the game now. How on earth is it going to remain interesting when a majority of the roles have been revealed? E2: oh my god it's just straight up re zero now

It sounds like half the backer keys aren't even working for people in different parts of Europe, so  https://twitter.com/SekaiGames_/status/1274043081726267395

Is root letter any good? Also I’m at the third feast in raging loop. It’s gotten very good.

That's pretty standard for Japanese adventure games, though. Even Phoenix Wright has its roots in that kind of gameplay loop. Is the story interesting? Good sense of mystery/intrigue and whatnot?

I love Phoenix Wright and other ADVs but in a lot of those you pick something wrong or examine something not relevant at this precise moment and usually you at least get some bit of interesting flavor text, but not in Root Letter. Root Letter is just bland, and not an interesting mystery, in part because at various points you make responses to letters, and your responses throughout the course of the game determine what ending you get, which means the explanation for all the game's mysteries changes based on your responses, with there being no underlying structural reason for this, at least that I was able to process.

edit: Never mind, I'm an idiot who confused root letter with root double. I have literally never heard a single good thing about Root Letter. It apparently sold really well in Japan for some reason though.

nabo posted:Heya all, any words on Fatal Twelve ?? I heard it's good, but I also hear very little about it so... It was okay, I guess? The story was interesting enough, but I didn't really like how the writing relied on hiding information from the reader (both via convenient amnesia or just not telling you things the characters know), coincidences and characters behaving irrationally, to move the plot along. There's a demo on steam, so give that a try if you want.

Since people are asking about VNs, does anyone have any thoughts about Spirit Hunter:Death Mark? its in my wishlist for some reason, but I don't remember why I added it.

Is it possible to view the JP Vita store on a web browser? I can't get the google to bring anything useful up. e: I just found out that a NEW GAME! vita/ps4 thing exists and I want to check it out but I'm too lazy to charge up my old vita and make a jp account.

If you like girl/girl relationships but want a game that focuses on plot/action/mystery instead of schoolgirls sighing about their feelings, get it right away because that's sadly rare. There's lots of little surprises to learn as you go along, especially about other people (there's a decent-sized cast). I definitely enjoyed my time with it but the details are falling out of my memory by now. I wouldn't call it a great masterpiece that people absolutely must play unless see-above, but it was fun.

It's not bad, basically a series of loosely connected ghost stories. Writings okay and it's spooky enough, there's also some 'gameplay' sections where you have to figure out how to exorcise the ghosts which can be annoyingly not obvious. I liked it enough to play it and the sadly not as good sequel.

Just finished raging loop. I liked it a lot. I read the revelations for a bit. I think I’ll save that stuff for a revisit, because it mostly feels almost like director’s commentary. it’s just interjections and asides meant to remove mystery and explain things in a mundane and logical way. It’s probably best if you give the game time to breath before going through again, and read it again in order from the start, for it to make the most sense.

Anyone read Key's Summer Pockets? I read Little Busters last year and enjoyed it a fair bit. Considering grabbing this one during the sale.

Just started Raging Loop. Already want to punch the protag in the face, but I'm hoping he'll develop as it goes.IShallRiseAgain posted:Since people are asking about VNs, does anyone have any thoughts about Spirit Hunter:Death Mark? its in my wishlist for some reason, but I don't remember why I added it. I picked that one up a few hours ago, will give my thoughts once I play some. Heads up that if you're on windows 10, there's been an unaddressed bug for a year that locks you out of the DLC chapter without hex fuckery (and I'm not even sure if that works). Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Root Double is on sale on steam. That one is good right? I get all the VNs with Root in their names mixed up. Root Double is excellent, yes. Root Letter is the one people were saying is crap.

Sacrificial Toast posted:Anyone read Key's Summer Pockets? I read Little Busters last year and enjoyed it a fair bit. Considering grabbing this one during the sale. I picked it up because it was on sale as well. I'm 2 routes in (out of 4 I think?) and it's just a pretty standard Key game. If you've read Little Busters (or any other Key stuff) you should know what to expect from it. For something that was on sale, I'm enjoying enough, but I'd rank it pretty far behind Little Busters (but fwiw I really loved Little Busters). The steam version does some weird font related bugs, and may complain about missing jp fonts even though it's the english release, and I've had it crash in some of the minigames a few times, but it's nothing that would make it unplayable. Also there is an extended version that's out in japan now w/more routes, so I guess maybe consider if you want to wait and see if that gets localized as well?

You can still buy the game downloadably though. Unlike the other one in the series, which is much more complicated to get hold of and the fan translation was never finished afaik.

Liking Root Double so far, I picked the route everyone says is boring at first cause I played the first 90 minutes or so of A a long time ago, and even the buildup here isn't bad. It's not lighting my world on fire, but the characters are fun and interesting.

Okay, kinda weird question: I've twice started Umineko with buddies, and both times they kind of waffled and half-assed and eventually stalled, despite really liking it. I've gotten about halfway through Chapter 7 years ago, but now one of them is coming back and is gonna start up again. Which is cool, but only partially relevant to the actual question: Is there anything in Ciconia that would spoil Umineko in any way? Vague discussion of characters, that sort of thing? Feel free to spoiler your answer.

That's only a partial answer - Revelation Mode spoilers Haruaki's ploy makes her plan fail, but she would still have her spider powers if not for Meiko, who is some sort of supernatural powers devouring experiment and takes advantage of the confusion caused by Haruaki to literally eat the spider.

They're all deeply discounted in the current Steam sale, though, so now's a good time to pick any of them up.
