(completed the main four routes + their good ends for this replay, so no ren route)

still one of my favorite BL vns despite sweet pool existing and also some of the failings in it. all of the boys are great but the OFFICIAL RANKING clear = noiz > mink > koujaku (koujaku is dead last because his route is a certified sleeper snooze fest)

its pretty good mainly because of ryoko and koji but its another pretty alright fraud urobutcher joint

We're going home, remember?

(completed just rin's route for this replay)

tnc is fundamentally, in my opinion, the weakest of the n+c games (i vastly prefer dmmd and sweet pool), but i think the games writing really and some very strong characters (motomi is great, rin is best boy + akira is a fun protagonist) makes up for a very weak story. weirdly enough, i still like it. reading the liner notes from kabura really drive home why i like it still: it's a story about passion. and that passion is felt through every once of this game, even if its story kind of sucks.

keisuke and shiki still suck tho

edit: decided to 100% it achievement-wise on a whim. thank god for the nitro skip i did not want to slog through the routes that arent rin or motomi

James... you made me happy.

Dawg I didnt even play the Legends games and it still hurts

This review was going to be a tad longer, but I think my main problem with this game is that it's so damn conflicting.

Because there are elements I really, really like the music and Yusuke Kozaki's art is always fantastic-- and on a technical level, the upgraded combat is good. But it is just so divorced from Suda's original vision and it is just so jumbled in aesthetics and lacks any proper cohesion it's a little unbearable at points.

Shelved because I just lost the drive to finish it. I should say that No More Heroes is a great franchise, and this is far from a terrible game, but it is for sure the weakest game from Suda that I've played.

i was given the option to play as boys and instead i played as the navigator the entire time #feminism

it’s jank and unfinished but it’s like my second favorite Pokémon experience and has my favorite Pokémon story next to Gen 5 and 7. Gamefreak I Kneel.

overall it's an 8/10 i didn’t want to hear ed sheeran tho so 0/10 >:(

playing this on my tv was crazy also this is one of my favorite visual novels

i dont even know what to say.

edit: as a trans person, a lot of the desperation hit home. its a raw and deeply upsetting game, but i think its something a lot of people should play -- trans or not.

the video game ever , the gameplay was , the story was , the ost was, overall it was the most video game ever made

(i like sheva)

First time ever playing a Resident Evil game from start to finish and oh my god. I get it. This is a spectacle of game design. Oh my god.

It's campy its cheesy its heart pumping its just the right amount of difficulty and it's just. So. So so good.

also leon is cute and ashley is my daughter
