it has great ideas for a game but it just wasn't excuted well at all
also the dialogue is terrible, like audio of girl character would say she's from L.A. but when reading in the dialogue box it would say Tokyo O_o wtf lol
6:44 that right there is a good example of what I just said
I really wish this game had better editors for the localization. I completely lost count of the misspellings, grammar errors, etc. They really ruined the mood ;_;.
I made four sequels of this in my head. Each sequel until the fifth has three main characters, those three use sigma. Theyhave different endings and the fifth would tie it all together. Why did Killaware fuck it up in NA?!?!?!?! This could have been an amazing series!
i love this game. i was soooooooo sad at the end. but its a really good visual novel style game. any one who needs help with the game just message me and I'll help you, 'kay?
Anyone else notice how much this game is like Persona 4? The main characters look like brothers,highschool,silents=shadows,Shinji=Teddie,Mika=Naoto etc
Ugh.... Yayoi's Silent is a pain in the ass.... I don't have a stylus, does that make a giant difference? (it did at 6:58, that's for sure!) Honestly, I wanna get on with the gameplay, but I'm stuck on a stupid boss fight! I was clicking so fast and hard that my wrist actually got messed up for a couple hours. XD
Besides that, I really love the game! Honestly, there shouldn't be so much guff over the translation, and while them not telling me how to play was annoying, I managed!
I'm playing it now, and I just can't put it down. Most of the complaints have to do with confusion. It's a shame that people need to be walked through gameplay in order to enjoy the game.
@Montork Some people wold see that as lazy (I don't). If they needed a walk through for such a simple game, then they could use one. It's not an action game. There is only so much that you can do.
@BlackroseDN its not really lazy if its only once and awhile. i only said you could use a walk through for anyone who says this game is confusing.... if it was an action game it would be even harder to wright a walk through, after all action games mostly require lots of good timing.. that's something hard to explain in words.
there is no fun in looking for lost Ds games get a Gametag check this out especially if your kids have lost their games GAMETAG - Nintendo DS - No More Loose & Lost DS Games - Loyalty Card Organiser
Anyways, the main reason I was going to comment was to give a little more info on the game.
1st. The game takes about 24 hours to beat if you go all out, like I did, to read everything
2nd. There is an Archive, Gallery, and Sound Test that allow you to see the the pictures used in the games, do extra scenarios (37 total), and here all the audio in the game which all you unlock throughout game
As far as I know that sums it all up as far as game description. Reply if you want to add to this.
This game was awesome. All the reviews that extremely criticize this game are lame.
Reasons why they say the game is bad: voice dialog, confusing story
Obviously these people only played for an hour and didn't do much. As far as the confusing story, the solution to that is to look up what is happening in the FORT database. The audio options is easily accessible in the options menu during gameplay. So all those reviews are very lame because it exposes how lazy they are to do stuff.
This game could have been so much better. The localization is legendarily bad - whoever translated it was just completely over their heads. It was a noble attempt, but this game just has way too much dialogue, complexity, and nuance to have been handled by a lesser team. It is a tribute to how masterful this game was that most of us love it dearly despite those horrible flaws (none of which have anything to do with the original Japanese version of the game).
@Behemotho I highly recommend 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. A brilliant visual novel which I can't praise enough. The gameplay (puzzles you solve) is superb (albeit limited but still more than a great deal of visual novels) and the story is gripping, intense and gets going from the get-go. If you haven't played this game. You absolutely must. Anyone who reads this post and has an interest in visual novels should also at LEAST give this game a wiki and a review.
They should really make a show out of this. I mean, sure there's some suicide stuff but seriously it's not that bad, and not horribly depressing that it makes you want to go jump off a cliff. Besides... Atsuki Saijo is fucking hot
On the look for real spiritual guidance?Is your quest for truth beginning to feel like running around in circles?paranormal powers, psychic readings, it is all possible.Let the spiritual revolution begin THE-HIDDEN-SPIRITdotCOM
This game is reaally really great if you're into anime/manga/visual novels... In fact I wish more of these kind of games would get translated >__< The ONLY bad thing is the poor translation - which makes the story get a bit confusing - but the english voice acting was really well done, their script made a lot more sense than the text xD
@Razzyness LOL! OH HAI :3 And yeah the voice acting is decent.... A hell of a lot more decent than the game's translation itself >___> I wouldnt have been able to understand half the game without voices.
this game was awesomeness when i bought it! Then i finished it... ugh it's the type of game you play once and after that you don't know wth to do with it >:[
The translation really killed this game, though I still enjoyed it. The Chinese manga, -cough- oops comic book loving shop girl was the worst. The game also could not decide whether it was set in Japan or America. -bangs head- Why do you keep acting like it's set in America when everything from people to locations has Japanese names???
to be fair to the reviewers, at times (especially later in the game) does get kinda thrown all over the place do to the translation issues, not to mention it ends kinda abruptly and a few other issues pop up, but i still think it's a pretty good game
This game was great<3 at first i was only playing it cause i was paid 15$ for it. But after a while, i couldn't put it down. The Ending kinda pissed me off o-O and the mistranslations weren't really too annoying at all, it wasn't hard to work out what they were supposed to be saying. I Have to admit, The Worms were a bitch and my hand got really sore eventually. xD The Silents were also fun at first. till you were killing 3 per day in the game. it was still a lot of fun. i definitely recomend<3
To be honest, I have no idea why no one likes this game. It's good, VERY good. Lux-pain is definitely for people who like visual novels, which is very very rare to see nowadays on DS. People say its plotless, but really, its not. I found myself crying in some scenes when something tragic really happens. But then again, I'm only on day 19, so I wouldn't know how the story ends yet. Definitely worth trying, but it has low replay value. You wouldn't want to touch this game until a year later.
@okinawacakes Oh my goodness, I was in tears for certain scenes, too!! I actually adore this game and haven't beat it just yet. I really don't see how it can get such low ratings. Sure, its not cut out for everybody, but I still think that if you can get over the bad translations, its really great and well-worth playing! The characters are also really well developed and I find that entertaining~
Talk to people, watch what you say, scratch the screen, kill worms. Repeat. It sounds bad when said that way, but this game is very interesting. I found myself caring about what to say and what will happen to people I talk to.
Some translation issues-mostly minor spelling and grammar and there isn't much game play however this game has a great storyline with multiple endings. I'm guessing most gaming sights give it poor reviews because most people seem to be into war/ heavy battling games instead...
I just wish you could actually PLAY more, you know? I also spent about five hours reading people's suicidal thoughts, it made me a little depressed myself. Though I'm a little ticked about that, I suppose I can see where the game's going and I can only hope that everyone doesn't die in the end. Yayoi's story really urks me, I understand that (SPOILER ALERT) she's adopted, but she wants to be spoiled, too? No one can spoil you six feet under, girly! >>
I got this packaged with Megaman Star Force 2 for $20 at sears. Since I've been looking for Star Force 2 and was curious about this title I got the bundle. I then quickly looked up this game to see if it was any good. Critics didn't seem to like it, but I don't trust them anymore, so I found that CGR HD did a review on it and I watched it to see if I should keep it. Judging by what I have seen, I guess I can give it a try.
this game is soo awesome!!!!! really 11 hours in the games and here's a big warning,get ready for anything I was a shock at what happens threw the story
This is an awesome game, I loved the story so much. It took me 33 hours and 2 tries to beat the darn thing. The story really picks up after you get past the first boss. The silent actually starts getting harder later on, and I actually lost a couple times xD so that's not typical of a visual novel. Check your picture extras if you feel that your ending sucked u might have gotten a premature ending. If you have any slots unfilled then you didn't complete the game.
This game is great but you have to admit it, its not for everyone... its kinda weird, the ending is abrupt and it has the so hilarious Engrish (If you still laugh at "All your base are belong to us" then you will laugh a lot) But Ive been thinking, this game should have an anime adaptation... I dont know why are there so many good graphic novels but none has an anime. Not even Phoenix Wright (Thinking that PW is second on the list of games that should have an anime)
i dont get why theres such a low score for this game. its actually not that bad, if ur into action games and/or hate reading then this game really isnt for you. im into action gaming myself but i also like trying different things. i actually liked this game. the story is what dragged me in. the mistranslation wasnt a problem for me. if you watch a lot of subbed anime then you really wouldnt care. apparently there are different ending depending on how you respond to others.
@khfan2343 i don't really understand it myself. the only difference between this and time hollow (which got a decent to good score) is a year or two. if lux pain had come out around the same time as time hollow it would have gotten a much higher score. by 2009 people were a lot less impressed with this sort of game because they had seen it before. i got a new copy at toys r us for 14.99 and i have no regrets.
I bought this game almost a week ago and am totally lost. I love games like these, but it feels like it wasn't put together right. I was also shocked at the bad ratings O_O I have mixed feelings about it. But I'll have to get farther into it to state my opinion...
iv read comments like "this game is a waste its boring all there is to do it press the screen and find the billions of typos in it" lol they do have lots of typos but i love the game! :3 Can you tell me anyother games like this one? LUX-PAIN IS AWSOME! i havent beat it yet but i will and then ill play it over and over! :3
Don't trust gamespot, only look at interviews of them, gamespot raters are just people who check a game by using a list, is something not on the list, like no good music? Then the game won't get a point. Have you seen one of their interviews, they totally don't sound or look like gamers. Though, some sites still review something by playing it, and not by going out from some point system list thing.
I love this game! It's probably because I'm a huge anime fan and like this kind of games.
I liked Time Hollow too it was really similar to this game, but this was so much better!
Can someone recommend me another game like these(not the Ace Attorney series I already finished all of them) I mean like games with anime like charachters and 'reading' games.
They're actually called "Visual Novels", and most originate from Japan =P (Y'know, games with anime like characters and 'reading' games) Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! is quite a nice example for the DS.
I found this game to be fun and interesting so far, and I found Time Hollow to be the same. I'd like to know more games that I can play. I don't know why Lux Pain got such bad reviews in America, I think the people who reviewed it, are crazy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Americans reviewing Japanese games = not good, Japanese games are mostly, time-consuming (RPG's, Visual Novels, Extreme hard shooters, beat 'em ups etc.), and such games are only for Japanese/Asians or for people who like those sort of game, and that's about 20% of the American population, and 10% if the Europeans
@Shadowmov3r ... i am at a loss for words. was you account hacked? that opinion is shared by many so im not really mad. i was just surprised that anyone would type that openly.
@Montork Of course I don't think what apparently I(?) said, Except for some pronounciation errors and a different opinion (like everyone else) there's nothing different when someone's reviewing.
But I'd never say something like what my doppelgänger said.
Dude i just beat the game with the good ending ^^ it sux >:D but Rui's Voice acteres i seen on Sound mode and she all so played Monkey D Luffy on one piece ^^
youre scratching away at a person's outward shell and looking at their subconscious, there are emotional parasites that can twist a person's feelings into being demented or suicidal so youre looking for these parasites to kill them and return the person to normal, the bars are scattered thoughts and emotions that you look at to discover an even deeper hidden emotion or parasite. Very cool game in my opinion, the plot is very dark but emotional also, captures a great atmosphere!
i just finished the game today yay. well in my opinion this was one of the most underrated game i've play in a long time(despite the horrible translation). now that i finished lux pain my next target is time hollow
is it just me or does every girl in a japanese game is busty and is barely covering her pet beaver and then falls in love with a guy who is then a demon and the chick says it doesnt matter and then the freakish couple then go on a queer adventure and finally she is shocked by him and she uns away and then everybody dies, am i right?
True, I couldn't tell whether I should trust the words on screen or the person talking. Since when did we need two different scripts to progress us through the plot?
I CANT BEAT YAYOI'S SILENT!!! someone plz help i know how i just cant do it!!! AGH! i've gotten 23 game oves AND COUNTING!!! u tap on the glass (except when spinning) then swipe the white thingy but i still die!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Will you resist a click? If you're interested in earning some money please view my profile. So far I've gotten over $100.00 in one week along with two Xbox 360 games. At least try it. :-)
HELP ME ANY ONE WHO HAS PLAYED THE GAME! I AM TOTALY STUCK! I finished the game but in the gallery there is still one picture left...the cake picture! ( saw on internet) i really want it but i don't want to play it again not knowing if it is in vain or not....so can anyone please help me!
Definitely not for everyone. I finished the game the other night and I was sad that it had ended. I guess there's multiple endings so I'm gonna go back and play it again, especially since I wasn't happy with the ending I got. The game is also really long so this is gonna take a while. I wish there was a strategy guide to the game so I can get help finding the other endings.
This game is awesome (bad spelling, translating, but who cares?) the storyline is great, the characters arent plain or previsible, and, it has various endings (this point reminds me of chrono trigger :D). But after finishing the game, I had a problem. I feel a sadness shinen flowing into me.. I want a sequel!!! Or i will commit suicide!! (lol)
Man the translation is horrible, theres way to much to read, and the boss fights are boring and repedative, but for some reason I can't stop playing!!!!! :O
I have a feeling the actors were given a un-revised script to read, and when they revised the script they just stuck to the incorrect audio.

This is an awesome game, I loved the story so much. It took me 33 hours and 2 tries to beat the darn thing. The story really picks up after you get past the first boss. The silent actually starts getting harder later on, and I actually lost a couple times xD so that's not typical of a visual novel. Check your picture extras if you feel that your ending sucked u might have gotten a premature ending. If you have any slots unfilled then you didn't complete the game.

This game is great but you have to admit it, its not for everyone... its kinda weird, the ending is abrupt and it has the so hilarious Engrish (If you still laugh at "All your base are belong to us" then you will laugh a lot) But Ive been thinking, this game should have an anime adaptation... I dont know why are there so many good graphic novels but none has an anime. Not even Phoenix Wright (Thinking that PW is second on the list of games that should have an anime)
Thanks for reading.

there's a bunch of animu that nubs donno originated from eroge which makes me lul
im pretty sure 75%+ of the guys that watched phantom requiem for the phantom thought it started off as an animu or something.
but it came from an eroge made from nitro+

Why'd Lux-Pain get so many bad reviews? If you're into Phoenix Wright or other visual novels, it's a worthwhile game.

i dont get why theres such a low score for this game. its actually not that bad, if ur into action games and/or hate reading then this game really isnt for you. im into action gaming myself but i also like trying different things. i actually liked this game. the story is what dragged me in. the mistranslation wasnt a problem for me. if you watch a lot of subbed anime then you really wouldnt care. apparently there are different ending depending on how you respond to others.
khfan2343 2 years ago 31
@khfan2343 i don't really understand it myself. the only difference between this and time hollow (which got a decent to good score) is a year or two. if lux pain had come out around the same time as time hollow it would have gotten a much higher score. by 2009 people were a lot less impressed with this sort of game because they had seen it before. i got a new copy at toys r us for 14.99 and i have no regrets.

I bought this game almost a week ago and am totally lost. I love games like these, but it feels like it wasn't put together right. I was also shocked at the bad ratings O_O I have mixed feelings about it. But I'll have to get farther into it to state my opinion...

Don't trust gamespot, only look at interviews of them, gamespot raters are just people who check a game by using a list, is something not on the list, like no good music? Then the game won't get a point. Have you seen one of their interviews, they totally don't sound or look like gamers. Though, some sites still review something by playing it, and not by going out from some point system list thing.

I liked Time Hollow too it was really similar to this game, but this was so much better!
Can someone recommend me another game like these(not the Ace Attorney series I already finished all of them) I mean like games with anime like charachters and 'reading' games.
TooyaRima 2 years ago 2
They're actually called "Visual Novels", and most originate from Japan =P (Y'know, games with anime like characters and 'reading' games) Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! is quite a nice example for the DS.

Americans reviewing Japanese games = not good, Japanese games are mostly, time-consuming (RPG's, Visual Novels, Extreme hard shooters, beat 'em ups etc.), and such games are only for Japanese/Asians or for people who like those sort of game, and that's about 20% of the American population, and 10% if the Europeans

what exactly is this game about?as in the game play style,what were you doing with the pen scratching the character like that and dragging some bars?
jewishlilboy 2 years ago
youre scratching away at a person's outward shell and looking at their subconscious, there are emotional parasites that can twist a person's feelings into being demented or suicidal so youre looking for these parasites to kill them and return the person to normal, the bars are scattered thoughts and emotions that you look at to discover an even deeper hidden emotion or parasite. Very cool game in my opinion, the plot is very dark but emotional also, captures a great atmosphere!

Definitely not for everyone. I finished the game the other night and I was sad that it had ended. I guess there's multiple endings so I'm gonna go back and play it again, especially since I wasn't happy with the ending I got. The game is also really long so this is gonna take a while. I wish there was a strategy guide to the game so I can get help finding the other endings.
