era is a series of japanese text-mostly ero games. First one was called erakanon and was a training sim featuring characters from the game Kanon, and following variants got quite a variety to offer.

Other Notes
Run the game with the anchor.exe
Don't paste updates onto old versions unless you like unpredictable bugs.
Extract separately and move the old 'sav' folder into the update.
If you see a wall of errors on startup, switch to 7zip for extracting.
If it's an old game, try pasting in the anchor exe from TW.
You can change the amount of lines you scroll with mousewheel, I always change it from default 1 to maximum allowed 10.
If you are to play eratohoK and know japanese, don't forget to reenable untranslated content in options, replaying this game a second time is a pain in the ass. Translators added an NTR option because they are too lazy to translate those, even if that game didn't had that option originally.
Hey, I'm confused. Danganrompa is a game? What is a Dangarompa?
I really like the first one.
I don't dislike the second one but it felt more like an interlude episode rather than a true sequel.
I still haven't played the third one.
>And are there any other games like it?
Too Kyo Games's future projects might interest you: https://tookyogames.jp/english/

I get what you mean, but I personally think the trials are a step up and Nagito is just awesome.
>Too Kyo Games
Been following them for a while, very excited for their games.
>the trials are a step up and Nagito is just awesome
I agree.
The only thing I ''disliked'' about Nagito was his misleading voice; him being voice by Ogata Megumi really made me thing Nagito was a certain other character in disguise.
>>5
Well Nagito was meant to be a more extreme version of that character, so it makes sense they'd do that.
I also think the characters were overall more likable than the characters in the first game, but that might just be me.
>Well Nagito was meant to be a more extreme version of that character, so it makes sense they'd do that.
I can't say I agree with this, another similar sounding voice actor would've worked better in my opinion (but there's only one Ogata Megumi out there, I know.
Also, Makoto speaking to Nagito in D3 was just bizarre.
>I also think the characters were overall more likable than the characters in the first game, but that might just be me.
I've heard many people say the same but I'm on team D1 for pretty much everything, characters included.
>>6
There's also how his name is a re-arranged "I'm name name" in Japanese. They wanted you to get confused about them.
For me DR1 is has better atmosphere, SDR2 has the most colorful cast and NDRV3 has the best twists and story (and scrum debate theme). I'd say the third game is my favorite just because, and this is kind of a spoiler for the ending, I felt a tickle in my ass for a straight week because of its ending, not even joking.
>>8
I disagree about NDRV3 having the best story. It felt a bit too long and the twists didn't really work for me most of the time (the first trial being an exception though, in all honesty one of the best in the series) and the epilogue felt a bit "off".
I'd say it has the best gameplay in the series but the story needs a bit of work.
Anyone still keeping up with the games? They announced a new spinoff: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/danganronpa-s-ultimate-summer-camp-switch/
It feels like Spike Chunsoft is scrambling to keep Danganronpa alive as a franchise after Kodaka ragequit with NDRV3.
The SMTV protagonist looks like a bender, lol.
This is unrelated to games but a scanlation group called Gouma-Den is translating Megami Tensei manga left and right so check 'em out.
i am a heron. i ahev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans
SMT5 is coming out in November but I still don't have a Switch...
>>66
Can't say I have; I think the protagonist in the demon world looks cool, nothing more.
I wish there will be a new Devil Summoner game in the future, I also miss Kazuma Kaneko's designs.
>>68
The only Devil Summoner I've played was Soul Hackers (3DS port) so I wouldn't mind if Atlus ported the Raidou games on new systems.
As for new games featuring with Kaneko's deisgns: they will come out eventually.
>>69
I'd certainly recommend you to give the Raidou games a try if you don't mind emulating. As for Kaneko, I highly doubt it, he seems to have taken a less hands-on position higher in the company. The series are now firmly in the hands of his protege Doi and Soejima and younger staffs. Even Katsura Hashino might no longer be involved in Persona and is working on his own project.
>>65
Same, I'm not completely sold on the art direction but I'm happy that the series is coming back to consoles.
I miss the golden age of RPG maker games. My personal favorite is OFF as it tells it's story in such a unique way and keeps you guessing until the last moment, not to mention the amazing atmosphere and fantastic music. There's even a catboy, what beats that? I'm also fond of Ib, Yume Nikki, and Space Funeral.
Recently I've been playing Corpse Party: Blood Covered (the pc Blood Covered, not Playstation's Blood Covered: Repeated Fear) and it's quite a frightening experience, but I wish they hadn't been weird about the siblings...ugh, nasty.
Tell me about rpgmaker games!!!
Do you remember this RPG Maker horror game called "Bury"? If you like "Yume Nikki" and you haven't played "Bury" yet, then give it a shot. Also, I was very surprised when I learned how old RPG Maker is. I thought it started in the early 2000s, but its genesis was much early than that.
Never heard of it, download link?

>Translation and/or distribution of the games is prohibition.
Heh. Kind of based, I wonder if ignoring this request is based as well.

So this shit is the new emojiposting, I guess. Summer comes earlier every year.
Lisa the painful obviously >:)
unfortunately too lazy to effort post about it tho :(
Played it. An ok game, but dropped it when somebody started talking forever. I'm a lazy bastard that can't handle pain.
The only RPG maker games I play nowadays are eroge.
>>10 I was surprised when I heard a friend's coworker had quit to pursue a career of casually developing eroge in rpg maker on their patreon. Blender and 3DMax for 3D CGs works well enough with RPGMaker's sprite-based gameplay apparently.
>>11
In my assessment, I think that it's a difficult industry to thrive in, especially if you're not Japanese in the first place since that's the primary market.

I have been playing Nethack and stuff for quite some time now and I love it. Let's have a thread for it.
What's your favourite Rogue-like?
What role do you like the most?
Why?
etc. etc.
All things Rogue
I've been playing Dungeons of Dredmor a lot recently. Fun!
>>9
Elona+ is great. Its half rougelike half jrpg
Does rainbow six seige practice mode on realistic count as a rougelike
Roguelike is textmode games, all starring @ as the main character. The only one I played is nethack.
i love roguelikes, specially the old school ones. i've played DCSS, brogue, rogue and nethack; i set the goal of not trying a new one until i ascend on nethack at least once.
has anyone here played caves of qud? just grabbed it on stream, looks really exciting.

I was briefly addicted to Caveblazers.
I think they are very fun.
I don't know what you guys are talking about but I love the chao garden and I finally made my first chaos chao the other day after playing this game for over a decade
Personally speaking, I find the Sonic Adventure games great. I think 1 is better than 2, but 2 is still excellent.
>>14
Cartoons take a long time to actually be put on television. I guarantee that when the drawing and voicing portion was done, the classic design was still being used.
>It's kind of funny how the internet hates these games now but not even half a decade ago they were extremely popular and even overrated
I wouldn't say they're hated, honestly. They're just not at the level of extreme popularity that they once were. Even though everyone used to gripe about sonic fans, I found the passion people had for these games long after they came out to be admirable.
The games themselves are pretty good, somewhat dated, even kinda timecapsule-y. It kind of reminds me of Death Note or The Exorcist in that you had to be there, man.
A lot of the sonic adventure 1 issues are fixed by mods
I 100% SA1 last fall and just 100% SA2 a few days ago, playing them both for the first time then.
They're pretty solid games and I enjoyed them a lot coming off of the classic 2D Sonic games. A little janky at times (mostly camera issues getting you killed at times or just being annoying) and with characters that aren't super great to play like Big and the mech stages (to an extent), but still fun overall. The Sonic/Shadow stages were really good in particular.
Think I might prefer 1 over 2, the adventure fields were a nice touch and the spindash and radar nerf in 2 were annoying. It's a close bar though, and I ended spending more time in 2 anyway, though that was cause getting all the A ranks in 2 is a genuine challenge that can be really fucking frustrating. Also, the Steam version of 2 was noticeably more crash-prone compared to 1.
>>16
Yeah, they're pretty popular still in the fandom, many still consider either or both to be the best 3D game in the series.
And I definitely agree about the passion bit, Sonic fans have one of the most active fangame scenes for any franchise. Hell, the SRB2 fangame was so damn good it is what actually got me interested in the series proper.
That said, it's still an annoying fanbase in a lot of ways. So many fans still whinge about the "sonic was never good" meme to the point there's a gorillion sonic youtubers praising the worst games as hidden gems and shit. The sheer amount of them creaming their pants of Sonic's characterization in Black Knight is astounding.
>sonic was never good
This is how you justify the years of poor releases I think. Of course 2D sonic was good.
>So many fans still whinge about the "sonic was never good" meme to the point there's a gorillion sonic youtubers praising the worst games as hidden gems and shit.
YouTubers are gonna be awful in any fandom. I think the good outweighs the bad with sonic these days, honestly, there are retards but there are much less than there used to be.
The Sonic Colors remake is sad. It's awful and just makes me miss when yearly sonic releases were a thing
Pokemon comes up more often than most games on /dqn/, so here's a thread about pokemon and pokemon-related topics.
So, those Sinnoh remakes eh?
The Sinnoh remakes are questionable so far but aside from YouTube video essayists who want to convince you pokemon is satan, there is a lot less skepticism about it so far. Curious what they will add though.
Discuss the various information from the Electronics Entertainment Expo in this thread.
My prediction...
MORE AC GAMES FROM UBISOFT
I just want Mirror's Edge, anything else is just a bonus for me. Kind of interested to see the 'raw' gameplay of Battlefront though.
And Sony need to show some of their hand when it comes to exclusives. The Order: 1886 was meh and the only good one we've had has been Bloodborne - we need to at least see what they've got coming.
My young uncle got a PS5 and now I carry weapons whenever I walk to my grandma's house. These mfs is desperate.
Elden Ring should have won several E3 awards but it will not because it was re-unveiled during another event, what a shame.
