Re: Anime Sharing - Netorare Thread (Discussion thread predating the section)
Hey everyone, first time posting here.
I had been waiting for play 麻呂の患者はガテン系 and finally got around to finishing it a few days ago.
There are two endings, excluding the game over screens that you will probably see quite a few times from making a single wrong choice out of what seems like hundred choices in quick successions. The route to the first ending is really, really short, which would be fine it was one out of maybe 7 endings, but not so good for one out of only two endings.
Even the route to the second ending is pretty short and it only took me a few hours to see everything in the game. The game turns into what's almost like a romantic comedy in this route and there's not much feel of NTR, netorare or netori. The female heroine becomes much more likable here though, so if you were disappointed after seeing the first ending, I would suggest that you keep reading and finish the game at least. The hideous MC is also given more character here and it's easy to start sympathizing with him as you approach the end. There are only two sex scenes (one for each ending) and they are actually pretty good, but rest of the scenes are mostly groping animations that just get recycled throughout, and yes, the second ending fades with "To be Continued".
Overall, disappointed with the game, but I have to admit that this is partially because I have big expectations for Elf. If this was a game made by some random company, I might have had a different opinion on it. Heck, they could have just advertised this game as a fan-disc to the original Gatenkei and the reception probably would've been better, but as a stand-alone game from Elf, it was disappointing.
Also started playing 人間デブリ~コンナジブンニダレガシタ?~ (Ningen debris), and while I don't believe that this is a netorare game, NTR (both netorare and netori) seems to be a pervasive theme. An hour into it and quite liking the childhood friend's older sister character so far, as Elf never seems to fail in delivering strong, attractive female characters who are likable. It feels like this game would've had a ton of potential if they took the netorare angle with her as the main heroine. The ring kiss thing was pretty creative
