Nanoha Haruhi STG

[DaFool]

Nanoha / Haruhi Doujin STG game

Being torrented you-know-where...

Just wondering if anyone has any further info before potentially wasting my precious bandwidth on this.

What's an STG anyway? Thanks.

[Misuzu]

Nanoha.... Haruhi? =o....
That sounds like a really odd combo.

[lordcloudx]

stg= shooting game? I think. Doujin shooters are always good for about 10 minutes till you figure out you can't get past level 4

Magical Lyrical KILLING SPREE~~~~

.... gameover


(wow... that sucked T_T)

[DaFool]

So 400mb for 10 minutes of entertainment?

Good lord...

we can beat those jps yet, we have barely begun...

[Misuzu]

I think someone is on a crusade =o...
now we just need to get someone to make a VN/shooter hybrid! Wonder if Ren'Py could do that =o....

For the record though, I find Japanese shooters to be very entertaining and get a lot more then 10 minutes of enjoyment out of them, even though some of them are insanely hard ;-;.

A part of me think that it is a work of Itsumono. So I guess you will need the gut to go through any possible events.

Japanese STGs are hard in majority for me(Or that I am a bad pilot). Then again, it is always the burning vigor that drives me to retry beating certain bosses, since the taste of victory is sweet.

@ Misuzu: All I want is either a SRW or fighting game element VNs.

So it's more of "another kind of game" but with added VN story sections? (SRW is just that, a tactical RPG with VN intermissions). Guilty Gear X Reload also has a story mode with a VN mode in-between fights.

Mmm... but as much as I love Guilty Gear, it's pretty generous to call those sections 'VN mode'.

The old Streetfighter games did a similar thing, it's not a new thing as far as fighting games go. Off the top of my head Streetfighter Alpha 3 had even more of that kind of thing than any of the GG games, with several characters having extensive ending scenes with lots of non-game-use sprites and animation... but I still wouldn't call them in any way 'VNs'. The story in those games is an excuse for the fighting, rather than a point in and of itself.

Hmm...

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Who should I talk to?"
    "Dizzy":
        "She is kind of cute, but those wings might get in the way."
    "May":
        "Hmm. I don't think I do kids."
    "Millia":
        "Oh dear, there she goes again with her hair all stood up. What a waste of a beaut."
    "Bridget":
        "... What the heck am I thinking?"
    "Jam":
        "She got nice legs. I'll give her that."
    "Zappa":
        "... Why is the ghost behind him eyeing on me like I owed her something?"
    "I-no":
        "All red and stuff. Is she his friend or something? Then again, I swear I saw those br... uh, eyes before."

Let's see who can guess the guy involved.

Actually, I like em too, it's just that there are so many of em on my hard drive right now that I can only pay attention to one for ten minutes (about the time it takes me to get a game over) coz many of them have faster moving bullets and hair trigger collision detection.

FIA : Sounds like Axl Low . I would have said Johnny at first but he wouldn't say that for May.

Jake : Mmm, yeah, I meant that it had a similar interface. Depth of story not included

[lordcloudx]

Anyone play blood over? It had a nice vn interface which I stole for binary hearts.

[Jake]

The Nippon Ichi 'Tactical RPG's (Disgaea, Phantom Brave, etc.) also often have little VN-style conversations between plot battles, but again they're more akin to the ones in the fighting games mentioned.

Mmm... off the top of my head, the Front Mission games had a similar thing, didn't it? Possibly more so, I seem to remember multiple storylines on at least one of them. Also: Mecha!

We're forgetting the king of VN/Fighting Hybrids! Melty Blood!

Now that you may actual debate whether the point was to play a fighting game or read a story because it is a true extension of Tsukihime, and its got the script to back it up.
