Here’s to more otome gaming ahead!
B’s Log July 2013
It’s been a while but because of some Alice & School Wars mini posters I decided to pick this up.
Galge Review: Tomoyo After ~It’s a Wonderful Life~ CS Edition
I decided to take a break from otome gaming (thanks to Amnesia Crowd) and while playing RO2 on the side I also picked up Tomoyo After. I’ve always been curious about the game in the past and when I found out the PSP port has the protag voiced by Nakamura Yuichi I figured why not? It’s only 1 route, since it’s really just like Nagisa’s after story in Clannad except this time, it’s for Tomoyo. Sadly, unlike Nagisa, Tomoyo does not get her happy ending or any kind of miracle. Major story spoilers ahead so skip to my final thoughts to avoid them.
SmaKare Game Review: Shitsuji no Prince-sama
Ryuuzaki Hanako (randomly generated name) takes on a part time job live with 3 butlers in a huge and wealthy mansion by a request of her aunt. Apparently they are all idols who work under her aunt’s agency, and need to learn how to “handle the ladies” better. In addition Hanako’s aunt also wants her to learn how to be a proper ojousama~. On the first day, all the butlers seem like they handle the ladies well – but it’s all just an act. In fact they’re pretty selfish and rude and it’s up to Hanako to whip them into shape!
Ragnarok Online II is doomed to fail for all eternity.
This ain’t no cheap flight.
Five years ago I was playing the Korean & Japanese beta of RO2: The Gate of World. The betas ended and there was no sign of life until the whole thing was scrapped and out came RO2: Legent of the Second. After a long KR beta, a shitty SEA beta, finally we get the North American beta. I can finally play the game I’ve wanted to play for years and after a week and a half all I can say is: This game is destined to fail. Read the rest of this entry
Otome Game Review: Amnesia -Crowd-
When Otomate announced Amnesia Crowd nobody knew what it was about. Everyone thought it was going to be a sequel, a new deeper story for the Amnesia world. I felt something was fishy when the story page listed the exact same story as the original and in my head I thought this was going to be some kind of a remake. Turns out, it’s actually just a 2nd fandisk and may as well be called Amnesia -Even Later-. The suspense section features a time when Mary Sue is stuck somewhere during the first game and your man of choice has to save her. The working section features Mary just working her part time job at Meido no Hitsuji where you play some annoying mini games and interact with chibi versions of the characters. The Love section goes a bit further beyond Later and shows Mary and your dude of choice finally getting married after graduating college. Since Working and Suspense take place in the first game, Mary once again doesn’t talk. (；´∀｀)
Android Otome Game Review: Ikenai Keiyaku Kekkon
Yuri is your average OL in her early 20s. One day her dad tells her that his business flopped and now he needs a shit ton of money cause he’s in debt. Yuri wants to help but she’s just an OL so not like she can make that much money. Luckily she runs into some dudes who are willing to pay off her loans – if she marries them.
Otome Game Review: Uta no Prince-sama -All Star-
So I ran a backlog poll on my blog a few weeks ago and All Star was the top choice so while waiting for my Amnesia Crowd to arrive I figured it would be a good way to kill a week. Surprisingly the game took longer than a week but ultimately – I REGRET NOTHING. Those who read my Debut review may remember my SCATHING words towards UtaPri and Broccoli and the many tables that were flipped during broadcast. Fortunately, Broccoli listened to their reviews on Amazon, kicked out all the fanfic writers and had Mr. Crazy Goat handle the storyline this time around. With this, the game went back to being a fun game about a hard working music composer and the idols she composes songs for. Our story this time is Haruka has no partner and she ended up graduating all on her own efforts (fuck yea screw those men Haruka you don’t need them!) She wasn’t able to take the master course cause all the guys were busy BLing up with each other and leaving her forever alone. Haruka’s new job is to compose a song for the Christmas concert featuring the special shuffle unit with the 4 senpais: Reiji, Ranmaru, Ai and Camus. In addition, after this she must partner up with one of them and compose a song to enter into the music festival competition. If she does not win the competition she will not be able to debut and will be kicked out of the agency.
3rd Time’s a Charm: Ragnarok Online 2 North American open beta
So after the fail that was the SEA launch, Gravity finally launched their version for the North American players. They claim to have banned SEA, Brazil, Philippines Japan and Korea but I’ve seen Japanese players tweet about their gameplay. Could be possible they haven’t put the ban in place to use the illegal players to stress test but for now it seems to be open to everyone? Anyway after Tartaros died, I missed my favorite daimahoushi so I’ve made a mage 8D.
Amnesia Crowd Limited Edition Unboxing
Took a little longer due to me combining other orders but finally it’s here! I’m going to finish Utapri All Star first though for anyone keeping up with my broadcasts.
Thank you for 3 million hits!
Otome Game Review: Hatsukare☆Renai Debut Sengen!
Shinomiya Yui is tired of her average school life and feels like she wasted her first year studying and doing nothing interesting. Now that the 2nd year has started she wants to try to have a more exciting school life. She also hears from her friends that there’s a jinx if she goes to the Asumi hill and kisses the dude she loves during the fireworks, they’ll be together forever.
SmaKare Game Review: Stalking Love
SmaKare is D3P’s “mobage” app but it’s all of their games exclusively. You make an account with access to all the games and a daily login gets you 5 tickets to read. However its 5 tickets for EVERY game so I’ve found playing 1 game at a time will get you to progress faster. So anyway I started with Stalking Love 
The story is about some OL (that I named Yamada Hachiko lol) who decides to get plastic surgery so the idol she stalks can marry her or something. Unfortunately for her she finds out her precious Yamada Ichirou-sama~~ is actually a manwhore who she catches with a different girl every day. Our heroine Yamada Hachiko is down but not out as she happens to meets 5 other hot guys in his place.
