On my first VN, Clannad, I went with the whole "Choose the options that you want, and don't follow a guide' for the first playthrough.

I ended up getting a bad end where Nagisa gets sick and that's it, because I didn't know which characters to choose for my basketball team. Like 20-30 hours in, and I didn't have multiple saves.

I now never play a VN without a guide, and even then I still use multiple saves.

That's fair. I wouldn't tell anyone not to use a spoiler free guide because fuck some VNs that have some obtuse bullshit choices/objectives in order to unlock plot important stuff in the game.

It's not fun, it's annoying. Luckily Fate/SN isn't too punishing compared to some other VNs.
 
Thank you for guiding my hips senpai.

No problem, I love the fate universe so i know a decent amount.

And to access Heaven's Feel, after you beat Fate and UBW, choose all the Sakura options to start on the third playthrough.

Edit: wait I fucked up, you access Fate by having Saber attack Archer and UBW by stopping Saber from attacking him.

Yeah, while I love Clannad, there are some weird choices in there.
Like literally the final choice in one of the routes, to get the good end, is to guess 3 things in a row. I understand the story context of why it was made like that, but those poor VN newbies.

Someone start Song of Saya.

I'm going to someday, it's been on my list for awhile.
And I can't imagine it getting on Steam anytime soon...

That's still bullshit, Persona 4 does the same damn thing and I give it shit for that. Its a little more forgivable in a Visual Novel, where pretty much all your choices actually matter in the scope of the plot, unlike Persona 4 though.
 
Not allergies like that, just Nonstop Infinite Drainage. Yuck. Feel like crud.

Also wooooo. I liked this playthrough despite the hate, glad it's over though.

Oh yea that sucks.
Are you one of those people who don't like to blow your nose around others? I'm like that, I feel like I'm disturbing the people around me.
 
How far into Fate/Stay Night does it take to get "Good".
I ask that because it's been on my list for a while, and I know it is quite long. Not all of the running time is going to be absolute gold. I've been trying to get through MuvLuv, and that drags on for about twenty hours.

Basically, when does Fate/Stay Night
git gud
?
 
TBFP The Walking Dead Season 2 (Part FINAL).
Website.
Youtube.

BANG

And the crowd goes- oh, no, wait, the crowd started killing each other. Shit.

This has nothing to do with anything and I'm saying this at the most APPROPRIATE POSSIBLE moment, but I just realized something. I realized that Matt should use even more Terry Bogard references in these playthroughs.
KICK BACK!

FTFY

Fucking Steins;Gate is the worst for that.
Maybe one route makes sense for the choices, everything else is incomprehensible.

For those who don't know, there is no choice system in Steins;Gate. The game progresses linearly. While the story happens, you get text messages. Your game changes depending on how you respond or even if you ignore them. It's not very clear how to go down routes.

Still fucking love it though.

Muv Luv Extra drags hard and unlimited isn't much better, but it's really really worth it for Alternative. Extra isn't too long after the first route, since you only have to do the Sumika and Meiya (which is basically the same except for the last hour or so) routes to start unlimited. And unlimited is about 10 hours long (which short for VNs). Alternative is the best game I've ever played, but not everything is willing to sit through dozens of hours of mediocrity to get to it.

Fate/Stay Night is harder for me to say, because a lot of people say it gets better after the Fate route, but I enjoy the whole thing except for parts of Heaven's Feel

But seriously, if you made it 20 hours into muv luv extra, just keep going, it's not much further to the greatness of alternative, which makes evangelion look like complete garbage.
 
I need a new anime to watch now since I finally finished Monster & Terror of Resonance. BTW i was right about Terror of Resonance, I'm kinda sad it doesn't redeem itself. No big twists.. it's just.. Dull. But Monster is Fantastic. my LTTP of it is now lost in the OT somewhere.


Holy shit at the downvotes in the Season Two Finale. The Salt is real and burning.

It starts with the worst route then you get to do the most awesome route ever! Then you get the cooking and sex route.

Honestly, unlimited blade works is the best and well paced route of them all. Each route has its moments. But the Fate route is just an info dump, and Heaven's feel is just paced poorly.

That being said, the Fate route isn't bad, just a little boring.

Why didn't y'all tell me Highschool DxD had loli twerking? Now I know y'all motherfuckers ain't holdin' out on me! I know this! But sometimes y'all sons o' bitches ain't respecting the game!

I've been watching too much of The Wire.
They should make a The Wire anime.
With loli twerking.
