When I first found out about this game a couple years ago I was like, "lol, this game clearly sucks. I mean come on, it uses goddamn pictures of pigeons for the characters, and the concept is just so stupid that it's clearly a fetishist's thing."

Then I started reading through a screenshot-based Let's Play.

It quickly became clear to me that my initial impression was the wrongest I have ever been about a video game.

 

[Arclaid]

YES. Time to replay this sucker.

Ryouta is best bird.

Reading everybirdie's impressions on this is going to be fantastic.

I have high hopes for when newcomers start getting a little deeper into the madness.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Cards/achievements will be activated "later today".

Well, at least that'll happen after I get done with work for this week. \o/ Dating doves. \o\ /o/ \o\

I love Devolver's twitter BTW. Hilarious at times.

 

[Grisby]

I think I'm just gonna perch right here and watch the thread.

Ho ho ho.

That's the best quote.

 

[TheSeks]

Hmmm turns out I DO have the CE when I went to go purchase it again, but can't find where the extras are located >_>
(This is how you can tell I'm not a heavy Steam user )

If it's like Dark Souls 2, it'll probably be in the SteamApps/Common/Hatoful Boyfriend folder. Which is beyond moronic and I really wish Steam's "extra pre-order" stuff would be tied to the game for later download a la Civ 5. :|

Oh THAT'S where it is?? Geeze, that's sure not the most obvious place of where to put them... And there they all are! (Thanks!)

I enjoyed it, but that first half can drag a bit. Hurtful Boyfriend is worth it though.

 

[axisofweevils]

Downloading this. Seems like it will be the most surreal PC game since Frog Fractions.

 

[RMS Gigantic]

I don't care that it's not a pigeon, I demand some Bald Eagle (national bird of the United States) DLC! He can give you roses (national floral emblem of the United States) as you sit with him in the shade of a large oak tree (national tree of the United States)!

 

[Auron_Kale]

Will probably buy during the holiday Steam sales (assuming this'll be on there) as I've got a lot of stuff to play right now currently.

time to see who the one true pidgeon is

 

[TheSeks]

It's not like I l-like you or anything... baka! *runs into the stacks*

SENPAI! (Has noticed me)

Clever Devolver/Hato devs

Unlucky in love. T_T

 

[Gazoinks]

So Shuu's route

Spoiler

is even more horrifying in person. I mean seriously! Gah!

 

[cj_iwakura]

Uh, isn't the protagonist

Spoiler

[Lotto]

i can't even seduce a goddamn bird

Spoiler

You're a hunter-gatherer human, born with instinct on how to survive and kill.

You're not getting this mixed up with PacaPlus, are you? lol

 

[Persona7]

The OST is going straight onto my MP3 player. I don't know why I didn't have it before.

 

[JackDT]

 

[TheSeks]

Oko-san seems a little... crazy.

 

[Persona7]

senpai will definitely notice me tomorrow

 

[Gazoinks]

Oko-san seems a little... crazy.

Sounds like something someone who doesn't appreciate the true glory of pudding would say.

 

[Persona7]

Oko-san


pudding god

 

[chrominance]

Oko-san seems a little... crazy.

Okosan is best bird. His true ending is the best.

I need to get this at some point but I already missed the pre-order sale so I guess I'll wait for a sale maybe? I still have a bunch of endings left to do.

 

[TheSeks]

Oh wow. Nageki's ending... T_T

 

[Kamion]

Spoiler

Hurtful Boyfriend

... caught me off guard.

 

[Koriandrr]

I played it!
Here's a video if you have time to kill:

Adding part two soon with the bad ending I got


Okosan ftw! Coo~

 

[hateradio]

HOHOHOHOHO

I got the bad ending too...I barely remember anything from when I played this game a few years ago.

 

[Hours Left]

Definitely gotta pick this up eventually.

 

[TheSeks]

Yuuya's ending is O_O

Makes the Achievement have some sense instead of some weird "YOLO" typo I thought it was at first.

Spoiler

Bond reference flew by me until the end.

 

[TheSeks]

Well... Oko-san's true ending is uh... certainly something...

Hopefully BBL explains that and a few other things. Going to do that mode before the last two endings I need to do. But I think the achievements mean I won't be able to get "To Be the True Java Sparrow" as my last. T_T I want that to show up when I load the title on Steam. *sigh* Oh well.

BBL does not actually detail that part. I'd recommend doing every ending you can beforehand since they sometimes contain hints that will make more sense having seen them before BBL, IMO.

Good luck though. It's a hell of a ride.

 

[Persona7]

Anyone pick this up on sale recently?

 

[TheSeks]

You totally weren't kidding. What the hell did I just play in regards to BBL. Just... what. My mind is full of fuck.

BEST. BBL. EVER. I mean I totally wasn't expecting that epilogue ending.

Also you don't need ALL the endings to unlock said epilogue in the HD version apparently. I still haven't done Azami's ending and got it fine. Now to play the normal game and finish Azami's ending so I have "To be the True Java Sparrow" tomorrow and go through the Summer of Dove stuff. Dunno why I held off on finishing this for a few months but I'm glad I did.

(Azami is OTP. For real.)

 

[Persona7]

Two days left for the weekly humble bundle!

[tearsofash]

Got all the endings and now I'm going for the BBL route. I literally just starting making choices related to the ending. I'm pretty excite.

So far my favourite ending was Anghel.
