Micchi’s Preferences
In general, I play story-based eroge which have a healthy mix of comedy and drama. I also sometimes try out other types of eroge if their system seems interesting. However, I generally stay away from H-based eroge. If it has H on the cover, it’s basically automatically off my list. The upcoming releases on the sidebar and monthly preview posts are representative of my tastes, so if you’re looking for H-based eroge, I’d suggest you check out Getchu, Galge.com or Hongfire forums. My tastes are all key’s fault.
My favorite games are those that have a cohesive plot with significant character and relationship growth. I view ero scenes as part of a growing relationship and are fine if done in good taste and are not excessively long. The BGMs and voices must fit the mood and characters. I tend to play the love/comedy ADV genre in a school setting and love those that bring tears to my eyes and tugs at my heart. I have weak spot for first love stories, and despite how much I complain about it, I am fine with bittersweet endings.
My favorite character moe traits are:
Relation: imouto (妹), kouhai (後輩), osananajimi (幼馴染)
Personality: genki-kei (元気系), amaenbou (甘えん坊), innocent (天真爛漫), koakuma-kei (小悪魔系)
Visual: yaeba (八重歯), semi-long hair (セミロング), heterochromia (オッド・アイ)
Clothing: beret (ベレー), ribbons (リボン), shimapan (縞パン)

I’m surprised that you even got Sorairo no Organ in this list! For most eroge-ers, this is a game that they either just stack away, or even not know (after all, it is the sole production by the company, which eventually seeped back silently to F&C, and later split to etude today).
It’s a single storyline, so you can’t POSSIBLY screw up. Play the 36 chapters already, it’s a good story!

You should really try Type-Moon’s games!
Well, it’s love or hate type but if you’re looking for a deep, complex storyline, Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night is really a must.

My backlog gives me the shivers, especially as it increases each month.

I don’t get why you guys have such a huge backlog… I only take those i know i will play and will complete….
Most of your lists are all like backlogs ._.
Mine are like fully completed >.>

@accany: It’s because it’s best to get a game when it just came out. So, if there’s any chance that I may play it some day, I will get it. The backlog serves as a bookkeeping role.

@Micchi: that’s a nice though but…. When your backlog is around 700% of what you have completed I think it’s better to pick and choose wisely lol

Micchi | April 6, 2009 at 10:40 pm
@accany: Well, I just plan to finish 1-2 per month and I usually add another 4-6 to the backlog list. That’s just the way it goes.

It’s a spiraling trend into the abyss Micchi! You need to start leveling out your input vs your output if you have any hope of recovering from your backlog!

Zen | May 5, 2009 at 8:08 pm
There I added my section. Now you have nothing to complain about other than the fact I will probably never ever update or finish it….

Yeah I tend to prefer eroge with more than just a romance plot. Though I still play the school romance ones if I hear they are exceptional or are intriguing in some way.

Zen | May 8, 2009 at 1:00 am
Uhh.. oh yeah.. I kind of forgot to add her! I did play that route I just completely and utterly forgot about it. She was not all that memorable after all…
Micchi…. NO ONE LIKES NAGISA! SHE IS BORING!!!
