I'm currently translating the Chou no Doku R18 drama CDs as I couldn't find any translations myself, is there a place for that? I can post it as just text, but would it be good to post in video format so I can time the subtitles with the speech?
I know I'm not high enough rank to access a lot of...
I'm not really the type to play games as soon as they come out (not just otome, but games in general).
So usually when I play a game, the fandisc has already come out a long time ago. And I get to just play them in succession (Like I'm doing now with Amnesia Later x Crowd).
Tbh I think I would...
I've been playing some older PC otome games recently (Chou no Doku fandisc & Under the Moon) and they've really charmed me - I love the older anime art style (my fave anime & manga tend to be older ones too) and I find the square aspect ratio nostalgic.
I think I honestly prefer older otome...
I actually love using my walking pad/treadmill when playing otome games LOL.
Sometimes I can get bored or lose focus if I'm just sitting still. I have a really small controller (8bitdo zero 2) that can connect to my Switch or PC that makes it easy to play with one hand.
When I'm not walking I...
I've never really kept up with new releases tbh.
The only times I've been really hyped for a release was when Hakuoki SSL was finally getting localised & when Cheritz announced The Ssum after the success of Mystic Messenger (which ended up going horribly wrong).
I actually prefer delving...
I play on pretty much everything! I emulate and also have a PS Vita/PSP/Switch.
Thank you for the recs, I'll check them out :)) What's the difference between Otomate's new and old stuff? What makes their old games better?
I don't really mind how many choices there are tbh.
What I find irritating is when the two options are something stupid like "Yes" and "Yeah", and I don't feel like I'm making much difference in the story.
I know localisation plays a big part in this (it's harder to convey formality in...
When Infinity Nikki came out, I was showing a male friend the gameplay and my outfits when he asked if you could play as a male. He got mad and claimed it was "unfair" you could only play as a woman.
Like bro literally look at every other game ever. Infinity Nikki is one of the only games of its...
It is strange how it's common for women to play games aimed at men or read/watch shonen and seinen manga/anime, but a man consuming media aimed at women is an anomaly?
I honestly think it's rooted in misogyny, where male experiences are treated as universal but men find it difficult to relate...
I used to heavily prefer portable devices for otome games back when the PS Vita was the main platform for otome games. Idk it just made more sense to me that VNs should be portable, like books. I used to take my Vita everywhere with me - on the bus, in class, in bed etc.
Nowadays I pretty much...
Any gacha game is a no for me e.g. Love and Deepspace, Tears of Themis, etc. I already wasn't a fan of mobage (apart from Mystic Messenger) because I prefer just paying once for something, but gacha games made everything even less consumer friendly.
Also as much as I love Otomate games for...
I used to prefer physical (and still do), but honestly they're usually way too expensive for me. PS Vita and Switch games cost way more than just waiting for a Steam sale.
Favourite - Probably Yuriko from Chou no Doku.
Least favourite - Amnesia MC I think.
I don't mind her most of the time (since Orion does most of the talking), but in Amnesia Later when there's no Orion to speak for her I find her a little exhausting.
I find the whole "innocent and pure" thing...
I don't mind it really, it's just like reading a book or a manga.
Good voice acting really does add a lot to a character though. I was playing the Chou no Doku fandisc recently and was really enthralled by how natural and charming Majima sounded.
If I could choose, I would be the MC but like in a chill slice-of-life otome like Tokimeki Memorial or something. Like all I do is go to school, go shopping, part-time job, study and romance my favourite guy.
I'm not physically or mentally strong enough to be in a lot of these otome games like...
Alice in Wonderland is a good one. There's Taisho X Alice but my fave is definitely QuinRose's Alice in the Country of Hearts. I loved the manga so much too!
I do love a Hades and Persephone retelling, I would love an otome based on that (or Greek mythology in general, I really liked Cupid...
I like tracking my gameplay progress on https://koilog.moe as I'm playing an otome game.
Every time I finish a route I get to check it off a list and I get a bit of dopamine lol. Nothing motivates me more than crossing something off a list.
