Re: Anime Sharing - Netorare Thread (Discussion thread predating the section)
Thank you for the detail. But I have questions. So if I get all the CGs and the animations, it is still one CG of sex for Sakimi and doctor maro? Is the story too short for us players? By the way, do you get the genuine for it?
Heya!
Seeing a lot of speculation in this thread and as someone who has the game and can understand what's being said in the Japanese comments and reviews, I wanted to set the record straight on some things. I'll spoiler stuff from here so people who don't want to see what's coming can avoid doing so. I'm not going to go into great detail about the story yet, or offer my own opinions. I just want people to know what to expect a bit better.
The game is netori. You play as the doctor 95% of the time. There are a handful of scenes where you'll see the
husband and wife interacting alone, but they're played out as narratives and not from any person's perspective.
There are 26 scenes and 30 distinct cgs, but that's INCLUDING non-h scenes and cgs. I have more than half of these. Of that there's only one actual sex scene, with the vast majority chronicling the doctors efforts to get to
second and third base.
There are 24 animations. I have all but the last four. Of what I have, 13 are groping.
Advancing through the game is notoriously difficult, as one might expect from an Elf game. There are lots of
options and choices with the vast majority sending you to a bad end.
The first half of the game sets the stage and is more what the Japanese call いたずら(itazura- meaning to make mischief/trick/joke) than anything else. Lots of groping from the doctor and asking perverted questions/making jokes.
There are two routes. One culminates in a scene where the doctor fucks the girl in front of her husband(He's a gynecologist so he's down at the lady parts with a divider between them.) under the guise of a medical procedure. This is still itazura, though because he's doing it without the girl's consent, though presumably she realizes she's being fucked partway through and just keeps quiet because her husband is right there.
As for the other route, I haven't been able to reach it yet. I'm keeping an eye on various blogs and review sites hoping for enough hints or a guide, but even knowing the basic gist of what has to happen, I haven't been able to hit all the right flags in three full play-throughs and countless loads from various spots. According to our Japanese NTR brothers this has to do with the girl's mindset and the relationship between the girl and the doctor. Having a hard time with that because of the large number of choices, questions, and responses, and the doctor is a fucking idiot Maro. >_>
From what I've read from people who've cleared it, the second route is more the 'true' route. In this one, the husband gets pissed off and beats the holy hell out of the doctor. Which makes the wife feel bad and she begins to take care of him. From what I've read this ends up with scenes where the wife is feeding him, helping him beat off, etc.(which appears to be the majority of the scenes I don't have), and that's where the love aspect of things start to come into play. I think it culminates in the doctor sneaking into their house to have sex with the wife and then the game ends with "To Be Continued".
I'm sure the second route adds more length overall, but I managed to clear the first route in 3 hours or so understanding about 80% without any problems, pausing to look up a lot of the medical kanji to better understand, but for the most part ignoring some of the scenes where the doctor sililoquizes.
Edit: From what I understand the pure/true love part is not between the husband and wife but between the doctor and wife in the second part. I could be wrong about this, but given the nature of the comments, I think that's correct.
I've heard the game be described variously as an itazura game, a netori game, a love comedy, and !"#$%&!
Many people are complaining about the price given the length and dearth of NTR content, and seem to think
most of the money went to the countless boob animations. I'm inclined to agree. At half the price, the new game has 24 animations and the old game had 30. The difference lies in the fact that almost all of the new ones
are groping, while almost all of the ones from the old game were sex scenes. There are only two sex scenes that I have confirmed in the new game(with maybe the possibility for one more). Animations are more expensive than cgs. All our money went to tits.
Obviously, a huge complaint is no NTR. While I'm also sad about this, I can't too angry because the game and advertizements only actually ever promised netori given the game's title and that it was given it would be from the doctor's perspective. People hoping for more were doing exactly that. Hoping. Still, it's a bit douchey on ELF's part and they likely never gave out more information to drive sales. There's a fair number of pissed of fans.
The 'To Be Continued' ending. It's sloppy writing and people haven't been afraid to say it. They expect better from the scenario lead. Of course, there's speculation about the follow-up, but it's hard for me to say too much because I haven't cleared the second route yet. I'm sure it's possible, but the way they've done it this time with the netori part happening first means they're going to have to do a lot of back-tracking and time shifting and that was really the only complaint with the previous title. Also, if there's as much love/sweetness as has been mentioned in other comments, it's going to be weird.
The only thing that everyone can actually agree on is they all LOVE the female lead, Sakimi. I concur. I can say for sure that the writer hasn't lost his touch there.
I'll summarize the best comment I read: "If this was from any other company, most people would be saying "Hey, pretty good!" Because it's from ELF a lot of people are disappointed or unsatisfied. ELF isn't a company that we expect to make average games. If you want to enjoy this game, you should try to not expect it to be the same as the previous game. It doesn't come anywhere close. Expecting it to will hurt your enjoyment of an otherwise okay effort."
There you have it. Hopefully this will answer some of your questions and cut back a bit on some of the speculation. If anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to try to answer them.
Thank you for the detail. But I have questions. So if I get all the CGs and the animations, it is still one CG of sex for Sakimi and doctor maro? Is the story too short for us players? By the way, do you get the genuine for it?
