Huh, someone mailed to the UK edition of PC gamer about Katawa Shoujo. PC Gamer had guts to accept it and to actually praise it.
Water Closet.

RPS is weird around VNs, at best. They sang the praises oh "Don't take it personally, babe" which I found to be pretty mediocre (Pisspoor art, very forced message at the end). Great site otherwise but they should probably stay away from this genre.metalangel wrote:Interesting. Notable PC Gamer alumnus John Walker absolutely hated KS when he played it on RockPaperShotgun.
I don't think I've read a mainstream review of KS so far where I got the impression that the reviewer had finished even a single route, let alone all five. It seems like they must load up the game, play through Act 1, and then fabricate their opinions on the rest of the game based on pure conjecture.Daitengu wrote:Funny how mainstream reviews all seem to think the sex is some type of reward instead of the plot device it's used as. Never cared to think about 'why' so they end up with really shallow opinions.
Christine Love, huh? I guess that she's a decent and somewhat unorthodox VN creator, but I can't actually call her her good. Digital and Analogue were decent, but I don't know why some people praise them over this. Can't they appreciate something beautifully mundane and with a slice-of-life writing style?Palodin wrote:RPS is weird around VNs, at best.

Digital was okay, but I played through it once, deleted it, and had no desire to replay it.encrypted12345 wrote:Christine Love, huh?

Yeah, basically. I guess that the purpose of the interface was that you would get more invested in the game than you would normally, but that's just so manipulative. It's a bit of a dirty trick, and speaking as a bookworm, I don't think that that type of thing should be praised.themocaw wrote:Digital was okay, but I played through it once, deleted it, and had no desire to replay it.
Haven't played Analog, but I hear it's more of the same re: what annoyed me about Digital: namely, the interface.
