Comic Garden and drastic killer

I got a PSP for my birthday…got distracted by it last night, so no posts! I already had Kiniro no Corda so I tried it out, but was surprised to see how similar it looked to Encore…of course this is going on about 5 minutes of play, so all I noticed was the same backgrounds. Anyways, I’ve finished Aki’s and Eva’s route in drastic killer, and am pretty much near the end for Nagi – I really liked his personality, it was different than what I expected. I really liked Eva’s character, but his ending was not as dramatic as I thought it would be…don’t know why. But playing through these makes me more interested in Sou and Riku – especially seeing them in Inorahd.

As for Comic Garden, I still have to try and get it Sensei’s ending – does anyone know if you have to go through Ryou’s confession every time? It makes me feel guilty Same with Hibiki, I thought I would get Sensei first but right now I’m getting Hibiki’s ending…*shrug*. Anyways, I should finish them soon and then I’ll get Kanzaki – I dunno if I’ll go for Kyouichi, I’m not especially excited about him.

Comic Garden playthrough

I finished one playthrough of Comic Garden last night, so I have a better idea now of the whole game. Once the intro is over, there’s one major chapter for each guy, and during those chapters there are times when you can choose who to talk to on the map and raise their affection level. Other than those choices, the game’s plot moves down the same path until Valentine’s Day, when you can choose who to give ‘true love’ (honmei) chocolates to vs. duty (giri) chocolates. I believe (won’t know for sure till I play another route) that this sends you down a character’s ending chapters.

On one hand, it’s kind of weird that you’re getting close to more than one guy at a time, but it limits replays, so now that I know the system, I like it. I got Ryou first, because he’s my favourite, and I enjoyed the ending, though he had a sudden personality change that I thought felt a little forced. Near the ending the main character doesn’t have much choices, and it would have been nice to be able to affect how the outcome develops, but oh well, it was still fun ^_^ next I’m going to get Sensei’s route and Hibiki, I just have to go back to Valentine’s and start from there, so they should be quick.

I’m also in the last stages of Aki’s route in Drastic Killer – I had to go back and start from the beginning, because I was bad and didn’t save before >.> So I was wondering when you actually go to the other world – it’s around June 20th, a few days after the school festival. That’s when Touko fully ‘awakens’ as well. Then I really want to finish Eva’s route – for some reason he actually interests me more than the brothers.

Finishing games feels soooo good! I’m definitely a Virgo, lol, love to clean up those loose ends.

Izayoiki and Comic Garden

So I got Comic Garden a couple days ago, yay! I’m playing it at the same time as trying to finish Izayoiki, since I’ve played Harutoki 3 so often before So far it’s fun, and I love the cute artstyle that’s very cartoony. The comic parts (minigames) are fun, though not that difficult, my only pet peeve so far is the lack of options – you can only save at certain points, and it seems like there’s no auto feature. The game is going fairly fast though, so maybe it won’t be too bad. I’m not using a guide, and apparently I’m on course to finish Totonoki-sensei’s route (CV: Midorikawa Hikaru).

And I’ve now finished Saku’s route and am trying to get Tomomori!!! It’s tough because other than right after you finish Shirogane, the hint section doesn’t give you any help, and you can’t see how you’re doing. You also have to try and avoid a lot of events – right now I’m most worried about that, as I’m supposedly about halfway through but I’m not sure if I mistakenly went off course somewhere…I’ll find out soon I guess!

Comic Garden and some Otome games on sale

Comc Garden, and Summer Sales!

The cover for Hoshizora no Comic Garden, coming out in September for the DS, is now available. I also have a couple of cute screens from this month’s B’s Log:

A regular dialogue screen – the characters look very good for a DS screenshot!

And a very cute CG of Ryou and the main character as kids. Ooh, I love this art!

I also found the OP movie, but…it’s kind of boring so it only gets a link here, not an embed Hoshizora no Comic Garden OP

Even though I’m too cheap to get the limited edition, if I had known what was included I might have been tempted – a gag drama CD, a novella(!), and a postcard set! Pretty good, especially if you can get someone to buy it for you from Amazon.co,jp, where it’s only Y1500 more than the regular version. The link below is to YesAsia, where it’s sadly about $30 more:

While checking out the cover, I noticed some good prices (not amazing) on some other otome games at Yesasia:

Harutoki 4 Wii: $49USD
Harutoki 4 PS2 (Premium Box): $77USD
FY Suzaku Ibun PS2: $49USD
Hoshigari Empusa PS2: $21.50USD
Togainu no Chi PS2: $22.50USD

And c’est tout for this evening! Tomorrow will be all about Kunachi! Or Hakuouki, haven’t decided which.
