Sweet Fuse- At My Side! Vita fun at a reasonable price.


Sashiburi deshitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! (Long time no see), I've just played my 2nd character play through of Sweet fuse and had to write something about it. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but once you get through the rigmorall of setting up the story it really heats up.

Sweet fuse is an Otome game recently (last week) released on psp and Vita here in the UK by Aksys. For all you vita users sat there thinking "But it didn't appear till wednesday" you are only half wrong. In fact they were one week late with vita compatibility forcing the rest of us to boot up the 'ole psp, not such a problem in japan as it's pretty much known as the visual novel machine. Let's hope we have many more VN to come over here in the west.

Anyway back to the game. It's around £16 which I'm sure most of you will agree is a decent price point when confronted with £30 per VN or even worse £2.50 per voltage story line that lasts 1.5-2 hours max and when you add up all the side stories and sequals each Voltage game comes to an excess of £50 (our poor poor pockets). Play throughs of Sweet Fuse will last you around 4-6 hours for the first play through and then once you gain the power to skip pre-read text it's roughly 3 hours per character. 6 or 7 (you gain a person after play through 1) will take you 3 hours. So that's roughly 25 hours of gameplay for your money and in my recent mitarashi play through I somehow missed the kissing scene so I MUST GO BACK AND DEFEAT IT...later...on fast forward...alot. On the plus side, missing the one image didn't give me the bad ending so the game isn't hard and it isn't brutal to you.
The "game play" aspect, aside from choosing dialogue involves using Saki Inafune's insight to solve the problem at hand. She chooses 3 words from a set of dialogue and one of them must give her insight incite which allows her to come up with the right answer. It's very logical and they let you go back and retry if you fail. In the end it's all about the story rather than being mean to the player.

The actual storyline you ask? Keiji Inafune (Megaman) is the proprieter of a newly opening theme park. All the people at the event are family members of the staff, including his niece Saki. Just as Inafune is about to make his speech the evil COUNT HOGSTEIN takes Inafune and some of the staff hostage. He announces a game for 7 people which Saki naturally offers to play. The 6 other people are coerced. And so begins your adventure with 6 men.

I would highly suggest picking this up if you wish to give your psp's or vita's some love. The characters really grow on you and you won't get the whole mystery with one play through. I've been really happy with this game and I thought I should let you guys know about it because I believe it can be easily missed.

In other Vita news: Atelier Mereru was just released silently onto the psn store for vita and Aksys recently announced they would be bringing over danganronpa for us. In the meantime if you love spoilers go watch the danganronpa anime over on hulu or other streaming sites.

Over and out!

Mass Effect 3, DLC, and playing on easy!


So, towards the end of my 2 weeks holiday, from work, I just completed Mass effect 3. This was a carry on from playing Mass effect 1 and 2 in order over the last few weeks, on pc with carry over save files.
I played as fem shep- default fem shep in each game since any alterations I make tend to be hideous.
Keep in mind that a couple of weeks before this run through I played mass effect 3 as my first game in the series on my Wii U, courtesy of my partner forcing me to try it.
The bug tuck hold and as I played the whole game I realised I didn't understand or like some of the choices I made in the comic. I lost some people that I didn't wish to lose. Some people weren't around and I didn't know why, and until I completed it I didn't understand what some of the choices I had made were.

So, I went back. I turned on my steam versions of mass effect, bought 3 on origin ready and made the long trek to last night. I bought the DLC for number 2(£12 for kasumi and whatever the other dlc was- it's been a long time since last week), and all the relevant content dlc for 3 which added lots of hours on top of the wii u version and lots of enjoyable content, which it should since it cost an additional £30.

Through the whole of this I played it on easy. Yes I hear you take a sharp intake of breath but seriously I don't have any more hours to give to this game. I wish there wasn't such a stigma on easy mode. In mass effect shepard is made more powerful and that's the only alteration it makes. It's fun, you run into an area, it's still a slight challenge in places, and you just go and kick ass. In the end mass effect isn't about skill to me, it's about the story.
I spent 30-40 hours with these people above in mass effect 3. I watched them thrive and live life, I went to the death bed of one character and their memorial in the dlc. I went on dates. I pointlessly did 182 pull ups for absolutely no reason than Vega could get off on it.
I had a wonderful couple of dates with my beautiful Garrussy Warussy and genuinely enjoyed myself and I honestly believe that if easy mode wasn't there, I wouldn't be able to do that.
Sure I could play it on normal and waste an extra 10 hours of my life, and gain what? A hundred more game overs and the tears at being unable to become better at fps games?
I might be the only one that thinks like this, but regardless of gameplay the only thing I care about is the story.
Maybe Mass effect was close enough to being a visual novel that the gameplay doesn't bother me so much, or maybe I just like shooting fire as engineer class and watching the enemies go down without a fight.

I don't know. What I do know is that it shouldn't matter if I tell a person "I prefer easy mode" it shouldn't need to be a dirty little secret. Maybe it's just the preferred option for those that have lives or those that have an extensive backlog to get through.

NEWS REPORT! VNDS! ANDROID!

VNDS is a visual novel interpreter that allows you to read visual novels, in all their glory, on the ds and now, Android operating systems.
The choices are limited for which games work but if you ever wanted to play fate/stay night, ever 17, tsukihime or saya no uta? Well they all work perfectly.
Please google vnds to find the games and their files, or how to use the versions you own. If you try them and love them please buy the actual game to support the creator.

Update over!

A2- A DUE! Free VN on android! Belissimo


I want to thank those of you that seem to be finding this blog as my views have shot up past 10000 . I'd also like to apologize that I only pop in to blog when I find something that I enjoy or excites me.
But today I had that feeling again. 
I was sifting through my android tablet as I installed chaos rings 1, omega and 2. There's a sale on right now on the android store where everything is half price. (Date- 30/6/13)
An update popped up for a game called A2- A due. It looked like code. I couldn't remember installing it and had no idea what it was.

As it turns out it was a game I installed for free whilst searching for visual novels on the android store. I fell in love. I suggested to my partner to give it a read to understand writing short stories and pacing scenes with music. The game was so beautifully put together, and I just found out it was by a group that made it in a month.
It's not too long, maybe an hour or 2 and has 3 endings that you will want to find so you can unlock the chinese/english translation which makes complete sense when you understand the premise of the story.

The guy in the image, doesn't speak english, you have no idea what he's saying except by how Sona understands it. It's so beautifully written, a story about a girl who's lost her love of music and has to try and find it again through her deceased fathers orchestra. 

I heavily suggest you give it a go and for any extra details or images please visit-

Some of the art is absolutely adorable, some of it is very amateur. No offense to the group, the images were still charming and some of them reminded me of Rukia from Bleach, but their main art is the cutest chibis EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR! Go give them some love, this game got me to blub like a baby and it's only 2 hours long.

How the Wii U finally got me into Mass Effect!

I felt like sharing my feelings about Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U, regarding a meme my partner shared today.

(Hurray for images- I've missed them too)

In the past week I've barely looked at another console. I've spent a while in Defiance on my PC but I still made sure I went back to Mass Effect 3. Keep in mind this is a series that I bought the first game because I thought I "needed it". Tried it, didn't touch it again. My partner played number 1 later and then number 2, we have the special edition of at least  one of them, I still didn't touch them (I should really check what's in it).
    Speed forward to the present day with the release of ME3 and I didn't bother to buy it at all. I was done pretending I cared, I opted to save my money. Then something odd happened. My partner said "I want Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U, it has a mini map...etc" so we found a pristine condition second hand version (Yes, a used copy, that works perfectly well and yes Nintendo, you need to drop prices quicker)
   He played it once it got into our hands (which is a whole other story with a lot of rigmarole) a week later I found him playing multiplayer. A person who plays strictly single player games unless he has to. He promised me it helped his normal game and it was actually really fun. A while later he completed the game.
    At some point in this Sony gave me a free copy of ME3. I played half hour, I didn't go back, something to do with the game crashing on me, it sealed its' fate.
So, 1 week ago, he sat down with me, he put ME3 into the Wii U "forcing" me to play it. I propped up on the bed, held the game pad and off I went. It still had its' teething problems, my Wii U likes to crash when it feels its' being overworked and had an odd gamepad error the other day but I plodded into it. 
I made my comic choices, thinking far too lightly of the topics they were asking me about. I didn't know that paragon was top and renegade was bottom and that renegade is absolutely always, almost, the wrong answer. I kept Kaiden, (sorry Ashley), I killed the rachni queen, I destroyed the research but I saved alot of team members in my choices (I assume all of them are alive in mine) and I got going.
I have now played 28 hours, discovered it's very much like a JRPG in the fact  that you do a mission and you spend half hour running around your ship listening to conversations, you go to the citadel and hand in quests (and pick up 50 new ones thanks to Shepard's eavesdropping skill) and then you go and run around the solar systems collecting items and tricking reapers into almost catching you as you fly out the other side, and back in again, for fun.
It's very much like a VN. At one point I went on a date with Kaidan and friend zoned him, I went straight to Liara and friend zoned her and then I went on a lovey dovey trip with Garrus and told him I loved him, and I squeed, out loud and everything. 
    I discovered that the Miiverse is delightful, especially for moments like "OMG Garrus isn't in the engine room" and also during a school mission I met up with Jack and posted this image 'below' of her. Someone popped up and stated that they didn't know she was in it, they want to go back and play it again to find her. I have to admit, I love Jack, she's highly amusing, almost as much as Edi.

My biggest surprise in the whole of this game is the fact that I don't hate the multiplayer either. I did 3 matches and they kinda sorta carried me along because I'm that bad at it but no one seemed to be bothered. They just picked me up and we got on with it. I added about 10% to my possible war assets. I'm assuming that the more areas you clear the more of your war assets come to aid you at the final turn.
Great idea. We need more of this in games because if I can avoid multiplayer, outside of MMO's, then I won't touch it.

So what didn't I like. I didn't like my choices. As the story unfolded I realized it was my fault I didn't do more research. I didn't understand the gravity of the situations and I didn't feel like the comic gave me enough insight into what I was actually picking because I wanted it to be over as soon as it started talking. It's a great asset for those choosing their previous choices but for a new person starting how could you even comprehend what your choices would do?

So, my solution, upon completing my current game I will be starting again from mass effect 1 on the PC, which I also own on steam. I will progress onto 2, and in preparation I have purchased mass effect 3 so when I finally get back there I can buy the citadel, kasumi's dlc for 2 and maybe the other dlc's if I feel like it.  I do not know how it ends, I didn't read any of the articles when people started complaining, I do know that if you want to read a disappointing ending you should try the Labyrinth manga.

I  love Mass Effect now and if you like visual novel outcomes and don't mind hard work I suggest you try it too.

I'll provide a link to the japanese guide (after I finish) for if anything is missing or you just want to see the original documentation. Ichinose was a really long path way, I can't even imagine doing this by trial and error...

Roku, Crunchyroll, and Free Drama's!

I'm going to report on a few things that I've found out and haven't found anywhere on the net.
Anyone with a Crunchyroll account and a Roku box can log into their account- providing they are at least paying for an anime subscription  can then access the drama section and watch non premium only shows (which on the american side is most of them) WITHOUT any adverts.

But there are no drama worth watching on the english Crunchyroll - I hear you cry- Akumu-chan aside- you would be correct. This is where Unlock Us comes in, for £3.50 a month you can use hulu, netflix (9/10 different area content), crackle and many many more websites.
Crunchyroll isn't on their official list, anywhere, but rest assured it works. Your best bet, buy a decent router that you can change the DNS server on and it will correct all applicable sites on all devices in your house.

Last point of tech for today-

I just bought a Netgear router WND4500 (N900) and had a few hiccups. I found one roku forum page that says roku 2 works with the N900 router so I gave in and bought it. Beautiful router, but when it came to using netflix, hulu, crunchyroll, etc, after initial setup, it just wouldn't work. Roku was down despite showing an excellent connection rating, ps3 apps were down and I sat there softly weeping into my elbows. Then I tried to log into Netflix on my PC and it sent me to the Unlock Us website, turns out as I changed device my ip reset and all devices were trying to run through the dns server and couldn't.

So me dumb dumb.

I'm passing on these words of wisdom for anyone who sits there relentlessly trying to research any of these topics.

p.s I used to use playmo.tv as it allows you to use it at 2 different houses but crunchyroll isn't included on it for a reason they won't explain

Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi does an Atelier Totori on PSN!

I think Askys must be having an off day. They released Hakuoki (sequel thing) for PSP/PSVITA in the UK or I'm guessing- Europe.
Not so long ago they released this game on psp in america but people were complaining that they could not get it onto their Vita's.
Now, facing no applause or announcement, what-so-ever, they release the worst of the 2 hakuoki psp games onto the european systems without letting anybody know about it until they scour the new PSN updates. Apparently us in europe don't like reading- pft...
This may have worked out well for Atelier Totori which is part of a series and many of us were willing to shell out £35 for it (insane considering I already own it on ps3) and here they put out a title that has had no release of Demon of the fleeting blossom, which most of us know to be a VN most of us imported, meaning most other gamers will have no clue what it is.
The game play is like Dynasty warriors but, for the love of god, do not set it on easy, enemies just stand still and take it. It has anime cutscenes, it has the original Hakuoki story without all the reading as well as an additional story to entice people to buy it.
The game is just shy of £20. Go watch some videos for it and make your own assumptions before you buy it but if you've been waiting for it? It's here, and they told no one.

p.s I'll probably buy it after payday so I can look at hijikata in hd.

Hadaka Shitsuji Walkthrough- Sakuma Kyoichi


 Well that took longer than I thought. If you've followed my toudo route you will already have some of the endings, feel free to check ahead and avoid redoing the same things. It'll save you some time. Sakuma's story is kind've sweet but kind've dull and doesn't have so many alterations  as Toudo's. Once again though, we're missing 3 panels. If I don't find them by the end but you guys do feel free to put them in the comments.


In my game you can't skip pre watched scenes until ichinose appears. Then you skip like mad.
