I decided to open up this thread, since it's probably one of the most popular BL games in the past few years (and the first PC BL game I played), and in this club as far as I can see:)
Story: Post-apocalyptic Japan, town of Toshima. Akira, the main character, is the winner of Blaster (a street fighting game), and accused of murder. He gets a chance to get out of jail if he decides to participate in Igura, defeat Il-re and destroy a drug cartel Vischio. Of course, he participates, and is followed by his childhood friend Keisuke, who's luck of any talent (except clinging to Akira) annoys most people, but still there are some of his fanboys and fangirls out there :)
Plus: fantastic art, great story, fine characterization, great soundtrack
Minus: few CGs (we all want more, don't we), Akira whose characterization doesn't deliver (he should be like strong, but probably anyone could defeat him if they're not using the Line)
Overall: 9/10 (because it's censored, and not enough CG's)
SPOILERS GO FROM NOW ON
Oh the endings... So, we have 8 characters and 12 endings, which 5 are labeled as bad, and 7 as good and one true ending.
I remember the first ending I got to was Keisuke's bad ending, where he rapes Akira with whatever that was... And I hated it. Arbitro's, Gunji's and Kiriwar's aren't that much of a deal, Akira just gets raped/killed/turned into a slave.
Oh and I hated Keisuke's good ending - it was boring. But I loved the one when he takes out Akira's guts and says he loves him. Damn that was so brutal :)
I didn't like Motomi either, as a character (he's too old), but his ending was kind of ok.
Rin's was the cutest ending ever - he's so pretty when he grows up. Don't know, it was just so damn cute, I was going "awww awww" all the time while playing.
Now we come to Shiki's endings. The one where Akira turns into a slut - didn't like it, but it was cool in a way since he was the one who gets what he wants (though he's brainwashed). The nazi ending - god, they're so hot in those uniformes. It was the coolest ending ever (a friend and I have the same plan, taking over the world, she as Akira, me as Shiki, but without the smex part - we'll have our own private bishie dungeon).
And the true ending. I hate myself for admitting but I cried as a newborn baby. Probably because I identified myself too much with Shiki so I couldn't cope with the idea of him being a veggie (and no, I don't go around my town slaying people, but giving them piercings is fine, fufufu). After I finally got out of my depression, then came Nano's ending.
He has one of the best CG's in the game at the end, when Akira asks him his true name. I just loved that facial expression. But I hated the part where Akira's the only bastard who actually knows his true name... Oh, and doesn't he look a bit like Shiki with his black hair? Dunno, but I think there's something to that :)
SPOILERS END HERE
Now people, discuss :)
Since I played only the PC version I don't know about the endings in the PS2 version, I read only about Yukihito's ending (which I found really cute, especially the CG's), so feel free to add info :) I added the poll with him, but if there are any other endings I can add them. |
