Why didn't the creators make another VN as good as this one? And other visual novel questions you ask yourself.
>>697918750It wasn't for lack of trying I can tell you that.
>>697918750I think Ever17 Out of Infinity was better and her less troons
>>697918750Sex with this redhead
Should I read Higurashi? It's like the last entry level vn I haven't read yet.
>>697918750>not video games
>>697918750>babies first VNMaybe try reading your second one
>>697919340no...
>>697919340You've read DDLC and Class of 09? Then I'm afraid I'll have to diagnose you as reddit.
>>697918750Science Adventure was a one hit wonder. Even the sequel and spinoffs were horrible.
>>697918750Steins;Gate isn't even good.
>>697919340Reread Muramasa
>>697919148Her hair is described as chestnut colored.
>>697918750Tell me why I should read the visual novel of this instead of just watching the anime in one third of the time.
I'm reading Demonbane and I hate every character
>>697922512Chesnutt's are a reddish brown, which is enough to be a red head for a lot of people.
>>697922551The only reason to read the VN is for the side routes with the other girls.
>>697922773A lot of people have no standards.
>>697922512>chestnut>her hair is practically red in the anime
>>697918750why can't steins:gate fanboys seemingly not shut the fuck up about how much superior it is to every other vn
>>697922551The original VN has better visuals, and has little collectables that don't affect the game but are a nice little bonus.
>>697923034That's way more brown than red, though it is a mix.
>>697923082Because it's just a really good VN? That's not even something anyone disagrees with except for a few crying faggots.
>>697918750>>697919520>>697922551>>697922783>>697923082>>697923091Steins;Gate isn't a visual novel, it's an adventure game. Learn what words mean before you open your retarded mouth.
>>697923434>it's an Science Adventure gameFixed that for you.
>>697923434>implying adventure games can't be VNs
>>697923537Science adventure is the series, not the drama. But yes.>>697923591Visual novel is a brand, not a genre. There are only 6 visual novels. Westerners retardedly apply the term to multiple genres of games.
>>697923434I'm sorry, what gameplay actions can you take beyond dialogue options, just because you call something a thing doesn't make it true, you knuckle dragging troglodyte.See what I did there? I called you something you weren't, because it actuality you're a fat virgin loser arguing semantics on a Japanese themed imageboard.
>>697923537>an science>an>fixed
>>697923675
If I've already been around the block a few times and have actually read a decent amount of real literature, does Umineko have anything to offer me?
>>697923696>>697923859Meds
>>697923821Fuck I'm retarded
>makes a complete garbage of visual novel with on only 1 redeeming scene >years afters make the best visual novel ever made flawless no bad scenes>leaves to live in the mountains forever and never show himself againHow can Narahara be so based
>>697918750This VN is way overrated.
>>697924170It's not a visual novel
>>697923872It offers memes.
>>697923872I started reading it expecting a good mystery novel and dropped it cause the mystery is dogshit it's all le magic so if you don't care about it go for it
>>697923034That's brown, are you blind?
>>697918750Because unknown to most underages, everything about S;G was taken from the real urban legends and stories it uses in the game. For example, the theory of time travel Kurisu presents in the game and how the Kerr Black Holes work aren't made up for the game; they are how the real poster John Titor claimed them to be IRL.Also, Nitro+ only worked with them for Head and S;G and when they left so did the writing and editorial talent.
I just started Process Of Elimination and it's very entertaining so far (just finished chapter 1). It's scratching that Danganronpa itch I've had for a few years now. I wish more developers jumped on the Dangan bandwagon and made mystery VNs. I don't care if they'd be inferior or considered cheap copies. I'm an addict for anime-y exaggerated designs with murder mysteries and an overlapping story with some big reveal. It does something to my almonds
They already made a VN hundred times better tho. Too bad S;G zoomer fanbased review bombed MLA on vndb so S;G could be on top.
>>697924676retard kekMuv Luv is awful and its later entries make SciAdv look like fucking masterworks in comparison>muh twizzlers, now you can never satisfy me TAKERU KUN
>>697923872Gayness, trannydom, high school musings to wow illiterate midwits, and 100+ hours down the drain for anyone with a 3 digit IQ.
>>697924580I wish we got more bandwagoners for the opposite reason. I think Danganronpa goes too far with the overly tropey characters but I love mystery and killing game stories.
>>697924580I'll check it out. Emio was great as was Spirit Hunter 3
thinking of buying umineko - when they cry
>>697924750damn bro you got me there, I'll go order a "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" and a Kurisu plushie now. Reddit on fellow SciAdv enjoyer!!!
>>697923286>>697924557It looks basically red in this picture. Not even like a normal person redhead but outright anime red hair.
>>697925168Yes, somebody fucked it up. And?
I can't believe Ever17 and Never7 are coming to Steam next year, maybe we'll get a Remember11 remake with the True route too...
>>697925140I can tell you got mad as fuck kek
>>697925329The anime is more popular so it's basically canon that her hair is red.I win.
>>697925140nothing is more Reddit than MuvLuv which is why r/visualnovels constantly seethes about S;G being number 1go back
>>697924442God I fucking wish Umineko stuck with Battler and Beatrice doing a bunch of murder mystery battles with the cast instead of going all in on the magic shit. The first episode is good for establishing the cast and how there could be a magical aspect to the murders or how Kinzo got all of his wealth. The second episode is also pretty good for Beatrice constantly taunting Battler on how he can't prove magic wasn't involved, but I dropped it by the third episode.
Is the Tsukihime remake good?
>>697919915Western VNs obviously don't count. Unless they were made by an anon.
>>697925563You've lost by even thinking this was some kind competition.
>>697923434>uhhh actually it's technically an adventure gameshut the fuck up retard nobody cares there's no difference
>>697924676MLA relies entirely in like 3 scenes to salvage its dogshit pacing. Takeru going back and forth being a bitch and "manning up" only to be a bitch the next time a beta farts too loud gets tiresome fast. Overusing the trick of giving char development to the next one dying so many times you see it coming is very poor writing, and quite counterproductive since you see it coming and actively stop giving a fuck whenever someone tells your their entire fucking life story.Despite those massive red flags, the good parts make it worth reading, though barely.
>>697925625Yes, and I love the original so I went in ready to despise it. I'm an Arcfag so I am a little mad they didn't give Arc her epilogue in this one, but everyone thinks that will come at the end of the Far Side routes, and that's probably correct.You need to read the original, though. This isn't to catch newfags up, it's for people who have read the original and know what was supposed to happen vs what does happen now.
>>697924442>>697925593The DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC plot derailment was already spoiled for me but I was still game if it at least gave way to some kind of interesting philosophical debate.Disappointing.
>>697923034>the animenon-canon
>>697925593Higurashi is like this shit too. Good mystery setup, but the manner which they were resolved is awful. I get it, magic and looping timeline was obvious from the beginning but episodes 7 and 8 were so unsatisfying. Even 5 and 6 weren't that good imo.
>>697918852>and her less troonswhatalso, E17 has too many boring routes you have to do to reach the endI've not played the remake, maybe this got fixed
>>697926078>parasites>weird activism arc where K1 gets the town to rally against abuse for reasons>Home Alone battle with kids using traps made of rope and sticks vs SpecOps we didn't just shit the pants, we left a trail from the bar, to the uber, to our doorstep
White Album 2 and KnS3 will be officially localized next year.
>>697926078Ryukishi can't write an ending to save his fucking life. And the older he gets, the worse he becomes, to the point of going back to okay stuff he wrote and ruining it retrospectively with his idiotic new brain diarrhea.
>>697926148I wouldn't call them boring, maybe Sora's route is boring. "You", Sara and Tsugumi's routes are great imo, love me some tuna sandwich and kick the can scenes.
>>697924758moogy has always lived inside his own ass
>>697926338Is he still writing the next Silent Hill game? I remember that being a big announcement
>>697924758>random dude's blogpostdon't go into it expecting a literary masterpiece, play with og graphics and no voice acting and appreciate it for what it is.
>>6979255933 has a lull in the middle but picks back up at the end and it's worth the wait. 4 is great. All the answer arcs are bad.
>>697926593I read it when it came out and you still were swimming in your dad's balls. It is garbage. You will understand when you grow up and develop a less horrid taste.
>>697925394>I can't believe Ever17 and Never7 are coming to Steam next year,I didn't know it was getting brought to Steam. This sent a shock through my body, thanks for the news. I doubt I'm alone in E17 being what dragged me into VNs well over a decade ago
>>697926773>a less horrid tasteGo back ESL-kun.
>>697926904yeah same, around 2009 I read Ever17 and that's how I got into VNs.

>>697927029>Why do S;G fags spam this shit constantly?It keeps the thread alive. This is the second VN thread I've seen today because the first one just fell off and I sure as hell wasn't gonna waste my time keeping it alive.
>>697919489>VNs still allowed on /v/You lost.
Is this basically the confirmation of R11? This guy worked on the Infinity trilogy. Holy shit bros. We're getting a proper ending after so many years.
>10/10 storoy turned into an 8/10 over awkward as fuck gay shit>tfw I love steins gate but I can never recommend it to anyone because of said fag shenanigans.
>>697927386don't be mad Luka made your dick twitch, blame your own latent homosexuality
>>697924676Based and factual, I played S;G and ML trilogy back to back and I was baffled at the difference in quality. Just Extra was far more fun than any SoL moments in S;G it's not even close.
>>697927478>Just Extra was far more funKEK tell us you didn't play any of them without telling us you didn't play any of them

Mating press with Kurisu
>>697919148For me, It's Suzuha.
>>697927827yeah, yeah we are. I fucking literally laughed out loud.
>>697918750>steins gate>goodread your second vn
>>697928009read your first, newfag
Can any of you niggas rec me a good VNNever read any before. Already watched SG so I think it won't be so worth it.
>>697924676This but because Muv-Luv has cool mechs and S;G doesn't
>>697928097if you like Lovecraftian stuff, Saya no Uta
>>697928097the VN is better so it is worth it . Just pick one. My personal favorite is Cho Dengki Stryker, with my favorite 'series' being Spirit Hunter (1-3).
>>697925889Thanks dude.So it's like the ff7 remakes huh?I read the original when the fan translation came out so I might need to read a quick summary but I remember most things.I'm glad you went in sceptical but liked it. I think I'll buy it on PS from your recommendation.
>>697922551You read the visual novel if you like things long form. There more of the same story.
>>697918750I heard Chaos;Child was good. Not sure if that was just fans coping though.
>>697928843No game with this in it as the shock 'twist' could ever be good. Massive spoilers (I despise the game but I'm not trying to ruin it for someone who wants to play it)
>>697925121>buying visual novels
Muramasa is the best.
>>697928939That's fucking hilarious. Now I kind of want to read it.
>>697928939Quick rundown?
Why are VNs so linear with minimal branching? You'd think a genre that's 90% text would allow way more branching than games like Walking Dead which are otherwise effectively VNs but animated, yet they often just have you slotted into a path early on then follow it through to the end. Why not have a VN with stat checks and whatnot?
>>697928097higurashisteins;gatedevil on g-string
>>697918750they did
>>697929292No wonder this genre is fucking dead if everyone is a piratefag.
>>697929641VN makers are simply there because they don't have the cash to fund an anime, they rarely care about making a game and when they do purists will not call it a VN anymore.
>>697925140reddit hates Steins;Gate and Sci;Adv in general
>>697930370>reddit hates Steins;GateNo they don't, this is an imagined persecution complex made up from fuck knows where. The other Science Adventure games yes, they get shit on plenty because they aren't the golden child.
Please you guys, name one great visual novel and why it is great. And do it without mentioning Reddit, trannys, zoomers, or how you gooned to it nightly for a year. I feel like I have none left to try.
>>697930648That sounds hard.
>>697930648Dies IraeIt's great in a primordial caveman way. If you've ever come out of an action movie like The Matrix and wanted to go fistfight God with your incredible kung fu skills, that feeling is Dies Irae
>>697918750I liked Chaos Head better.
>>697931118Recently I really enjoyed Sekimaiya: Spun Glass. The characters are basically cardboard cutouts but the mystery carries the whole thing if you're into that kind of thing. It is basically the world's hardest (longest might be more accurate) word problem.
>>697931943C;H is honestly garbage compared to S;G, I never understood people who say this.
>>697925652>made by an anonAre there a lot of VNs like that?
>>697930648Seconding Dies Irae, I laughed so much reading it. Would recommend with alcohol and friends. Also Saya no Uta for horror, and Rose Gun Days for a unique setting of 1940s occupied japan and a fun discussion of the pros, cons, causes and consequences of nationalism.
>>697932221Chuunige are the best ge.
>>697929641Before I knew much about VNs I used to think they were like choose your own adventure novels with fleshed out narrative branching. Obviously that turned out not to be the case but the stories are still fun.
>>697929641because they're books but with music and art and voicekind of like an old silent movie I guess?
>>697918750Steins;Gate is shit though.
>>697933081I still haven't seen a better VN than it in the time I've been reading visual novels.
>>697933454Ever17 is the greatest work of fiction in all of human history. No, I'm not kidding.
0 had that one really sweet moment where okabe reunited with kurisu for a moment. Other than that it was kind of shit yeah
Best VN coming through
>>697934103I see people shitpost with this VN so much
>>697934103>凍京that's quite cold
>>697924676after Muv Luv everything is so mediocre and dull, I need something at least half as good
>>697934712S;G is already better all around and has much better story pacing.
Any good VNs on steam to recommend? I like romance, school and generally cute VNs
>>697934931yeah it was pretty great, recommend me something more
>>697928234>Yume Miru Kusuri (O)
>>697918750Why are visual novels so long? That's what I always ask myself. Maybe they're just for basement autists with too much time but I don't have that kind of time anymore.
>>697929416If you desire NTR and a pathetically naive moralfag message shoved into your face, maybe it is.
>>697935165It's true, I was in highschool during their heyday and I'd read them on my downtime on summer and winter break. Now though? Too much.
soon(in 34 days)
>>697935197I gave Muramasa a try but it's so fucking boring, and I didn't even reach the parts most people make fun of.Once you understand that every single character besides the MC solely exists to either get raped by others or die gruesomely for shock value, it loses any and all stakes and becomes incredibly repetitive.
>>697935392Narahara can't write for shit, you have to go into Muramasa with low expectations or you won't enjoy it at all.It's best to approach it like Akame ga Kill or Nie no Hakoniwa and just read it for the rape and suffering edge.
Is Subahibi worth getting into?
>>697935715>just read it for the rape and suffering edgeIsn't that just most of the old Nitro+ games?
>>697935392it's bad ON PURPOSE so it's kino
>>697936028Chuunige in a nutshell
>>697935816Most old nitroplus titles have a coherent story to offer alongside the edge.Saya no Uta is a decent entry level VN, and Demonbane, Gekkou no Carnevale and Kikokugai are extremely well written chuunige.Muramasa's writing is all over the place and contradicts itself on multiple occasions to a degree where you have to assume that the protagonist is constantly offering unreliable narration for absolutely no reason to make any sense out of the rushec true ending.>>697936028It would be if it actually was on purpose.
>>697919340Yes
>>697935197Always thought this was a joke scene, but the author actually has that kinda fetish.https://files.catbox.moe/2jhflo.pngNever dropped a VN as quickly as Muramasa when I reached picrel.
>>697936127The entire ending was so bad that I consider it non-canon.No idea how you can drop the ball that hard, nitroplus should've lent Narahara some editors when he was clearly struggling with writing past the common route.>>697936439It's the author's very, very thinly veiled fetish.It actually might be the artist's fault, he normally draws scat and is an unashamed NTRfag.
>>697936127>Demonbane, Gekkou no Carnevale and KikokugaiI want a new NITRO PLUS chuunige so bad...Tokyo Necro was a return to form, but that was their last decent release since 2016.
>>697919340Yes. It took me years to give it a try despite my friends recommendations, and I regret taking so long in doing it, it was a great experience. If you do read it, I suggest you read the first 4 chapters and take some time to try figure out the mystery before continuing the rest of the story.
>>697918750One hit wonder company.
I'm kinda scared to re-read the Fate VNs. I really liked them in HS a decade ago, wonder how they would come off now.
>>697934103Genuinely the best translated VN we got this decade.The OP is such a banger.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1mmfJewMyE
>almost 14 years without an english translationI'm starting to lose hope
>>697937374What are the JOPs saying about it?
>>697928097S;G, Higurashi, CLANNAD
>>697923872It is essentially the divine comedy weeb edition.It's one of the few weeb shit things I can recommend in the same way as normal lit in some ways
>>697928097
>>697935000studio key vns are on discount right now, you could get kanon, clannad or if you're really really broke planetarian hd
>>697923872You won't find a better mystery VN.If you've got experience with the genre, you'll come to enjoy it even more because the author really doesn't hold your hand and expects you to think about the mysteries instead of simply spoonfeeding the right solutions one at a time.
>>697937423It's exactly what you'd expect from a Dies Irae sequel
>>697918750Visual novels started slowly declining right after this came out, that's why. Not to say that nothing good ever releases but it's been slowly getting worse and worse ever since SG.
>>697924442>it's all le magic>t. witch trying to trick people
>>697927029It's a decent way to start VN threads off EVN friend.
>>697918750S;G has got to be one of the most overrated visual novels of all time.
>>697937374>englishyou DID NOT read masada's gamesyou WILL NOT read masada's games
>>697919340You'll never find it, but the manga was the best way to enjoy higurashi. It went into so much more detail that the VN and anime only wish they could've. >>697918750That's the problem, they tried and couldn't do it. Steins was only the second VN made by mages and that's where they've peaked. They're self-aware that steins is their money maker and that's why they keep coming back to it. They came close with the common route of chaos child and robotics notes, but steins still holds supreme. Then with the recent failures of 0, dash, and anonymous, the whole series is questionable. >>697922551psycho nea>>697923872It's BOGGED DOWN with dozens of hours of superfluous dialogue. All the chapters are long as fuck and realistically only take a few hours to get the point across and move on. It also sufferes from randomly leaping between scenarios. Chapter 4 continuously jumps between angie in the future, angie in the past, the witches room, and the game. It's mind numbing, I finally tapped out at the end of chapter 5 and have yet to get back to it. I somehow managed to come across the manga volumes 15-22, I'm considering colecting the series and reading it rather than continuing the VN.
>>697918750Why was kurisu such a bitch?
>>697918750
>>697933840lollmao
>>697918750I hate steins;gate because nothing fucking happens by the end. Okabe just learns to be happy with his life that he already has which he was already fine with at the beginning and everyone gets factory reset so they don't fucking matter. it's just so pointless. I hate it.
>>697928939From the common route it had the potential to be generational kamige but it all went to shit somewhere around chapter 6/7, and don't even make me mention awful heroine routes and bitter sweet ending.I blame it on 5 writes btw
Does /v/ actually think muramasa sucks and stiens;gate is the best vn ever? what shit taste. what the fuck happened to this board?
>>697941347consider that most of you fuckwits didn't even understand Muramasa's clear as shit ending, that's funny. How is it your favorite when you tards don't even understand it?
>>697941347Sounds like good taste to me, but that's because I'm not a faggot.
>>697941347>muramasa sucks Yes.>stiens;gate is the best vn everNo way fag.
>>697941347Muramasa is massively overhyped, but so is Steins;Gate.
>>697941347>what if I actually LIKED le killing and admitted so?>haha nm let me make a merc band with the world's most retarded business plan so I can continue to hide behind flimsy moral justification and Sorimachi's last speech is meaninglessLE LAW OF LE BALANCE
>>697941347S;G is better, but it's by no means the best VN ever.
>>697941487Reading Chachamaru's sex scene was the first time my dick ever twitched while reading a vn, so it's the best.
>>697941557that's okay, just because VNDB has it has it at first doesn't mean it's going to be everyone's favorite. EGS doesn't have it as number one.It's only the seething contrarians who try to say it's shit that are laughable.
>>697941608You might just be impotent. It's mediocre as fuck.
>>697941347I think Muramasa is still great I don't give a fuck about what other schizos are saying
>>697941759and like ass scenes in the game are like 35 seconds long lmao
>>697941759>he didn't get rock hard seeing the rape face followed by forcing herself to get wet like a robotmaybe you have shit taste and your penis is stupid and gay.
>>697941831>>697941671>>697941396really makes me think.
Muramasa would be 9/10 if it had no h scenesIt does tho so it's a 7.5/10
>>697941901the difference is that Mememasa is JOP shit that was overhyped when it was a never-ever but was exposed once it was released in English Just like Musicus
>>697941916The rape scenes are relevant to Muramasa's plot.It'd lose like 50% of its worldbuilding without them.
>>697941959nah it's good. the amount of schizos seething about it nonstop and lying about it being an ntr game is a good indication of that
>>697941959>JOP kamigeName a worse red flag.
>>697942016the only sex scene that would matter in muramasa is in the fandisc. Which bothers me to no end because the cg is teased in the base game and is the reason the main conflict happens.
>>697942115I can't
>>697923872I started reading the manga and the story goes full retard in the second volume.
>Slide bolt lock>On a sliding doorfrom the creators of danganronpa
>>697941916Muramasa would be 5/10 if not for the true route.Take out the h-scenes and you're even lower than that.
>>697924154Hanachirasu was absolute sheer kinography. Your taste is shit
>>697924154Hanachirasu mogs Muramasa so badly it's not even funny.
>>697927029Any EVN chuunige? No? Figures. Cowards
>>697928097Saya no Uta.
>>697941347Muramasa has great ost and cool fights but anything else sucks. S;G had way better drama and you actually cared for those characters
>>697936127>unreliable narrationHe is living in denial constantly and actively looking for penance and an escape from the consequences from the choices he made in any form he can get in every route but the true one (and even in that one he can reject responsibility).the whole point is that he says he "is a demon" but can't walk the walk, it's why Sorimachi hates him: he's contradictory at every turn and true to no creed.it's ironic people say that the theme is basic for muramasa they can't even identify character traits that are constantly shoved in your face.
>>697942686wow someone that understands the story and why Le Based Man is actually a fucking retard
>>697929821>>697937431DO NOT RECOMMEND NOOBS Higurashi/Key slop. Too slow of a burn, too low production values.>>697928097Heres something Flashy, dense, short, and potent.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0zfsMkTCSEAfterwards Saya no uta and Kikokugai will show you just how great this medium is
>>697942796gen urobuchi is a shit writer and I'm tired of pretending that anything he made besides saya is even worth a glance.also rewrite has incredibly high production value.
>>697942796real faggot hours
>>697942686>the whole point is that he says he "is a demon" but can't walk the walk, it's why Sorimachi hates him>except the true ending reveals that it was all bullshit and he always loved to killSasuga Narahara.
>>697941001Reminds me of a drug that makes you dream. They cock teased a sister route, but backed out. >>697929578everyone suffering from gigalomania syndrome which gives them psychic powers and magic swords also age more rapidly than others. All the routes except the common route and true route occur in their heads as delusions.
>>697942891>RewriteTerra opens on a 40 minute black background text scroll. Many characters dont have sprites. Hinoue Itaru is incompetent at drawing any angle that isnt a moeblob face the camera dead on.Ofcourse the Key Cuck hates Urobuchi. Key Cucks only wanna see the 50 IQ moeblob get terminal cancer
>>697941347/v/ is a low iq board
>>697942962Concession accepted
>>697943089yes, but then he INSTANTLY forms his merc group with the world's most retarded plan all to hide behind stillNigga is still hiding behind 'muh law of balance' lmao
>>697942796Key shit is unironically best during the main route and true route, but shit during any heroine route. Seriously, I always care more for the bros than any of the girls at the end of it.
>>697943220That you're a faggot? Don't need a concession for that. It's just facts.
>>697943230Yeah I agree that it's retarded, but the twist itself isn't well done either.
>>697928843I can honestly say the best part of chaos head is the lead up to the common route and the common route itself. It has everything you could hope for in a VN. Betrayl, twists, fights to the death, and an MC brimming with courage. The only problem is the common route is the best route in the game. Every other ending, including the true route is laughable. It had so much potential, but they shit the bed.
>>697943254Sorry youre insecure about a story with only dudes. A buta likes you needs constant moeblob reassurance or else he will have a meltdown
>>697943089>finally rakes responsibility for his actions and lives by the law of balance without compromise as was hikaru's wish.>sorimachi stops fucking with him for thisI know it's prime schizo hours for muramasa right now, but please stop making retarded arguments on cooldown
>>697943290it's not well done because Sorimachi is Nanahara's self insert and constantly shits on Cuckiaeki so astute readers pick up pretty early that the man is full of shit and that 'The Law of Balance' is completely retarded since he causes as much damage as Ginseigo. Of course /v/ goes>hurr durr he literally me XD though
Is it just me or are even the "non-spoiler" tags on Vndb spoilers?
>>697943350I get that you're mad but I'm not a 'buta, sorryBUHIII
>>697943392when the tagging is managed by a community as retarded as the vn one, that will happen.
>>697943369>finally rakes responsibility for his actions>decides genocide on a mass scale that makes Ginseigo look like amateur hour is 'taking responsibility' >he knows full well his plan is retarded and will never ever workholy bad reading comprehension, as expected of Mememasa fans
>VNs are largely just softcore and hardcore porn with long winded plots>Fate series somehow gets decent or even good anime shows>it becomes a full blown media franchise with very little official porn>American weebs start taking them way too seriouslyThe best VNs are the Taimain Asagi ones because they have great sex scenes.
>>697943473>>fate series somehow gets decent or good anime>implyingEven Zero is just derivative slop. They took a bad ending in Heaven's Feel and wrote a gay fanfiction about it basically.
>>697943473VN sex scenes are ass. vn are good because they can have those explicit scenes as part of the plot unlike literally every of medium
>>697943467>he thinks that the murders were what he was running frommaybe one day you will understand.
So are Key VNs keyed or locked? I'm getting mixed messages in this ITT thread.
>>697943710nobody said that, AGAIN you demonstrate your inability to read and/or think You should Law of Balance your way through a GED,nigger
>>697943607Surely the scene where the heroine gets raped by ten nigger dicks is essential to the plot.
>>697943741they don't have porn in them so it scares people that are afraid of developing an emotion beyond lust for an anime character.(unless you play kud wafer or LB:E lol)
>>697943785Muramasaman needed to experience loss and trauma, please understand.
>>697943785I never read that VN. Sounds like a you issue.
>>697943741When theyre good (Swan song) they are the best thing in your entire life. But when they suck (Muv luv) they are a chore to finish
>>697943776it's ok buddy, we can't all understand why THE LAW OF BALANCE and his following of it is so incredibly based.you keep posting on cd about how muramasa makes you mad. I'm gonna jerk off to sayo and cum on my GENUINE high school diploma.
>>697943785>>697943843They were Japanese brown, not negroes. Like in anime when theres an old uncle or fisherman with brown skin. Thats Japanese brown
>>697944018See >>697936439you'd have to be genuinely color blind to think that these men are "japanese brown".
>>697937374Holy shit, is that hahaman on the right?
>>697943985>gave up>throws a baby tantrum complete with "I'm not mad YOU'RE MAD" despite being obviously upsetanother musha defeated
>>697943607My rule of thumb is if there's no blood-related incest, unavoidable rape and anal in the tags, the VN probably isn't worth reading.
>>697942891idk maybe Kamen Rider Gaim I guess
>>697944080I still don't know how people think a random bandit leader getting dicked down by her bandits is ntr to a guy that met her 2 days ago.
>>697941831if your gf does not do the picrel face, she is not your gf
>>697943596Fate/Zero does prove that fanfiction can be superior to the original.
>>697944168Because they read the VN where she has an entire chapter dedicated to her, complete with a finale where she dies in Kageaki's embrace as they finally exchange their names?Call it BSS I don't know the proper terms.
>>697919340It was whatever, pretty mediocre but enjoyable.
Higurashi is borderline Lynchian when you think about it in some ways. It's straight up Japanese Twin Peaks. If I wasn't a retard and had talent I think I'd do a big youtube essay about this.
>>697944168Holy fucking reductionism. Okabe and Kurisu only knew each other for a couple of weeks too btw.
>>697944431and they grew closer as she helped him cope with his constantly leaping, speedreader-kun
I like Muramasa :)
>>697944473I was being reductionist too, glad you picked up on that.

>>697945501Again, never played a VN with nigger dicks. Sounds like a you problem.
>>697929641Most visual novels i've read have multiple branches and multiple endings. Do you even finish them?
>>697945528The VN has also been mentioned 23 times ITT.
I only read moege.
>>697918750Grotesque art. First time i'm getting the eek when seeing a vn.
>>697944121those make sense for picking out good games, but my personal green flags are>Romance>Only Loli Heroines>Sex with Protagonist Only
>>697943473>The best VNs are the Taimain Asagi ones because they have great sex scenes.My man! Too bad Black lilith was murdered in 2018 or 2019 when their last shota nukige dropped.

>>697919340Not really, these are all>I'm 15 and this is deeptype of stories. If you're an adult you'll think it's retarded
>>697924580There are a ton of mystery EVNs. They are all terrible.
>>697947195see >>697944954
>>697947195hey retard, you're on the children's toys boardfucking idiot
>>697947195Name another piece of media that conveys Higurashi's themes better than it. Despite a lot of its flaws you actually can't.
Let me complain a bit about English mystery VNs. They completely miss the point of why the Jap ones are interesting, which is a combination of character focus + strong presentation + insane plot twists. The one most highly acclaimed on /v/ is Sekimeiya, which is boring as balls. It focuses on pure mechanical mystery with plot/characters being an afterthought. There was another circus murder mystery which was similarly boring, but it focused purely on characters and nothing else. It's like these Western writers pick a single aspect they like from VNs and make the entire game centered on it, forgetting these things are supposed to be whole products and appeal to people.
>>697947606To me it's more about the creepy atmosphere
>>697947768same for me, which is why I shill Spirit Hunter every chance I get>>697947606The Russians got it right with Everlasting Summer. I thought it had the perfect mix of SOL,. waifus, mystery, and unsettling/creepy happenings.
>>697947606I truly do not understand the love for Sekimeiya. In real life, when someone says 'hello' to you, you simply do not have the time to do a 50 paragraph introspection on the state of the room's burnt curtains before replying. All the characters act and speak like robots, and who are able to let their minds wander for 3 minutes real time in milliseconds
>>697947606What's funny is I've played some pretty good Chinese ones lately. Pic related has been very good so far, and I enjoyed The Hungry Lamb a lot. The French gave it a shot with Suhoshin, and it was decent.Why can every country make okay to good VNs and American just cannot? I am all for non-Japanese VNs because I am a plot enjoyer and there's just not a lot out there any more, but other people are stepping in to try to fill the void.
>>697925394Any continuation of Remember11 would have to be be a publisher fanfic. Uchikoshi has nothing to do with these rereleases, and did not even know they were happening.
>>697932210For popular ones, just Katawa Shoujo, Snoot Game, and Wani.
>>697918750best girl
>>697929641Branching dialogue is very labor intensive. Disco Elysium, for example, had an entire team of writers. Most VNs have 1-2.
>>697935291that came out last year
>>697943126Wasn't it purely cosmetic and reversible? At least that's how I remember Chaos;Child ending.
>>697952647yes only in the sense they solved an issue that has been going for for years in mere minutes and it's glossed over again, never to be spoken about again even though it would be literally the biggest news story of the last 100 years.
>>697918750Because Steins;Gate was a lightning in a bottle and none of the original team understood its appeal.
>>697927029Just finished Methods. Didn't think it was going to stick the landing when I found out who the final protagonist was, but it worked out and completely exceeded my expectations.I recommend it if you're looking for lite mysteries that don't take themselves too seriously.
Is there any mystery v novel?
>>697954413I mean detective mystery, without romance.
>>697954460AI: Somnium Files but it's super average IMOCorpse PartyVirtue last reward
>>697954413>>697954460Seconding AI: The Somnium Files. I think it's great but I wouldn't over-hype it. The dream sequences aren't the best but it's a unique gimmick that doesn't detract enough for me to care. The sequel is awful though.
>>697955349The sequel is fine until you finish it and it's retroactively much worse.
>>697925394unfortunately it's the wack ass 360 version but with the 3D models removed
>>697954460>>697954413Umineko (despite what the author might think). It's the best VN detective fiction.
>>697955572It really isn't. The game is packed with filler of just go to an area to find nothing with long loading screens. The ending makes all the time it wastes that much more of a slap in the face. Especially because it made any interesting branching basically impossible.
>>697955954>The game is packed with filler of just go to an area to find nothing with long loading screensThat criticism applies to the first game too anon. I hate to admit it but it's true.
Nirvana Initiative is bad, but in the same way all of Uchikoshi's games are. The entire story is based around a retarded/contrived narrative that lies to the player in order to justify a wacky plot twist.
>>697956673People only hate the sequel because it was the second Uchikoshi game they played. Newbies got introduced to him via the first one and didn't realize how trite he is.
Hi friends I'm thinking on picking a 10-15~Hours VN in terms of duration during the steam sales. I'm choosing between:-Ninki Seiyuu-Kamiyaba-Parquet-Karakara 2-PlanetarianSince these are cheap. I still need to check if there is a jp steam patch for the first two. I'm hesitant about Karakara since it's been like 7 years and still no news about the third game. I'm planning on reading them in Japanese btw. I accept recommendations. Thank you and take care
>>697956768I played all of Zero Escape first, so you're full of shit.
>game expects me to take murder seriously after a WACKY porn book made hardened mercenaries do cartoon AWOOOOGA noises in battle and let Date winthere's juxtaposition of silly and serious that work, as in Danganronpa but this game did not pull it off
>>697956901I don't care for moege these days but I do feel like Plaentarian is required reading for anyone remotely interested in VNs.
>>697922551Because the anime sucks balls
>>697956702The problem is that the narrative lying to the player served no real purpose here. In his other works there is a relevant plot reason for it to occur.It was forced. Like he felt compelled to use his standard twist even if it didn't really fit this time.
>>697956901Planetrian is decent, but it ends just as it was getting good.
Anyone any opinions on Hatsuyuki sakura?
>>697957084Date hiding information from the player about his body/identity in AI1 also served no purpose.
>>697957138slopge
What was the last VN you played? I'm currently playing pic related but I can't read Japanese.
>>697956986Of all the things to complain about that's what you pick? The extreme swings in tone are part of it's style.>>697957210What do you mean? If I recall he legitimately didn't know anything about that for most of the game. It has been a while though.
>>697957084What I don't get is people trying to justify it being forced just because of Covid causing development problems. How do you build the entire game around something completely retarded. Like it's a problem that permeates the entire structure of the plot so you can't just say "they didn't do it right"
>>697957297I'm currently playing Ching Chang Chong: Murders of the Yangtze, but the last one I completed was Emio. I enjoyed it a lot, but the best one this year was easily Spirit Hunter 3 (Death Mark 2).
>>697957348>The extreme swings in tone are part of it's styleWell, there you have it. Tonal dissonance and lack of coherence in a fictional world are okay if it's on purpose.
>>697957028>>697957087Planetarian it is then. Thank you friends
>>697957462This but unironically.
>>697957462Actually it's there to filter people like you.
>>697957516it used to be babby's first VN before people started recommending Saya for some reason. It's short, it's sad, and it generally gives a new reader a good idea if they would enjoy this format. It doesn't hurt that it's pretty great.
>>697955572>>697955954>>697957084Alright, spoil it for me. Have only played the first and if it's bad enough I'll never touch Nirvana Initiative
>>697957538I love retards like you who act like people who don't want to slurp Uchikoshi's literal sewer water were somehow filtered from a VN with puzzles that a mentally retarded 4chan mod could pass with ease. Nobody got filtered by a god awful VN lmao
>>697957538well the thing is so shit I guess I should be glad there was a "filter" to keep people with good taste away from it.
>>697946702My beautiful mana wife that i would totally never cheat on...
>>697957608 The game presents it self as having two different routes with each investigator. It turns out one of them is actually two different people and the routes are alternating between past and present. This has no actual bearing on the plot other "oh look it was split in half just like the victims"
>>697957608In Nirvana Initiative you play as both Ryuki and Mizuki to solve a mystery that spans over the course of six years. Ryuki's sections take place 6 years ago, while Mizuki's are in the present. Except when they aren't, every other day takes place in the other timeframe, so Ryuki has day one of his story in the past, the next day is in the present, and the next day is back in the past. Mizuki's is the opposite and the reason why she has the same model in the past is because you're playing as a clone of Mizuki who is also named Mizuki. Ryuki's days in the present work because he's a literal schizo and is suddenly thinking about events from 6 years ago.
Award winning Uchikoshi dialogue. Natural. Beautiful. Poignant. True.
>they aren't baiting, better pull out the translator bait
>>697957821>>697957834Oh, that doesn't sound too bad.
>>697957943That's not the translator, Uchikoshi really did write that.
>>697957943>better pull out the translator baitWhat is this cope called, where the person defending Uchikoshi doesn't even know he's a giant woke retard and it says the same in Japanese?
>>697957981It's the kind of thing that sounds neat on paper but when you see how much it fucks over a story that was maybe decent if told straight you learn to hate.
>>697957981Really? Personally I lost it at a clone of Mizuki who is also named Mizuki.
>>697957834>because you're playing as a clone of Mizuki who is also named MizukiTHE MASTER BEHIND ASSPULLS SUCH AS BLICK WINKEL HAS DONE IT AGAIN
>>697958132That's true I suppose. If the execution is bad the whole narrative falls apart at the seams. I'll wait for a deep sale and a boring weekend.
>>697958090it's called he will run away from the thread and not reply to this lmao
>>697957981Problem is it's not really relevant to the plot and it artificially restricts when half the cast can show up. Relevant characters are just not allowed to show up if they want to keep the "trick" going.Once the trick simply cannot go any further with how the plot is going though, a random side character just outright explains it to the player before the finale. That's honestly the worst sin in my eyes.
>>697957834this is just ever17 but put in a blender
>>697958283It still has plenty of enjoyable parts individually. Just don't expect much out of the overall plot. It kinda falls apart if you glance at it for too long.
>>697958312I thought it was just bad writing instead of a hint in the scene right before the big reveal because characters were acting like they didn't have information they should've had. Turns out it was both.
Finished re-reading ISLAND a couple of days ago. It's a flawed visual novel, but I still enjoyed it a lot. I'm going to read Himawari soon, it is better or worse than ISLAND?
>>697958640I remember reading Island but absolutely nothing about its plot.
This worth reading?
>>697957297I finished this route, fun game, shame about the fhtrans version
>>697958640I dropped Island because it's shit and finished Himawari, but don't remember 90% of it. Take that as you well.
Totono is good
Is it a hot take to think that Chaos Head and Robotics Notes were just as goo as S;G?
>>697959227I have a feeling I would've enjoyed it more had I not known all the metashit beforehand. All the cuck crying was stupid because she was supposed to be every VN heroine you've ever played and the cum drinker in the game wasn't (you). It's pretty funny how many complaints on 4chan boil down to "I didn't play the game but I want to cry about it"I see why the nips enjoyed it.
>>697959261No, but it's a pretty retarded take
do not read mamiya
my favourite VN
>>697959386I loved Chaos Head, the horror and claustrophobic feeling felt completely unique to it, and I actually liked Takumi
>>697959592I liked chaos;head in both it's schizo and chuuni forms.
>>697934103ToKINO
Is thinking that Chaos Head is better than Steins Gate the same as thinking that Majora’s Mask is better than OOT? Because I believe both
>>697960504While I agree that Majora is better than OOT I can't really agree that Chaos head is better than Steins gate. They are pretty close in quality overall though.
>>697942452Unironically, Superhuman. It's also porn, though.
>>697960659I think I just really enjoyed the dark tones of Majora and Chaos Head more
>>697943372>'The Law of Balance' is completely retarded since he causes as much damage as Ginseigo.LITERALLY the whole point.
I'm a pretty fast reader, so having to slow down to just a single line is too slow for me. It really sucks because there a so many VN I'm interested in, but I just keep falling asleep or get too tired of clicking the mouse.
Oppai.
>>697957297>saimin seishidouWas it worth the wait?
>>697922551>in one third of the timeHaven't you just explained it yourself?You do realise these are entertainment products, right? You read them for fun, they're not chores you want to finish as soon as possible.
>>697961696You know you can set the text speed to instant, right?
>>697957834>my plot summary of nirvana initiative got reusedI'm flattered that I could create a good summary
>>697918750Steins;Gate Zero is good as well, from the "let's ramp up the SUFFERING to 1000%!"
We now have the technology to AI translate visual novels in real time, recommend untranslated gems
>>697923675If you're going to make this retarded argument, I hope you're equally mad over the dozens or hundreds of English words that the Japs stole and use completely wrong.
>>697958283To give you an idea of how the trick is used, here's one example from the game. On one day as Ryuki you are looking into the murder case, and wind up a the big corporations headquarters to see their CEO dead. This is surprising because you met them yesterday. You then go underground to a cult worship area, and spot the culprit, who is unidentifiable because it would spoil the killer that early. You chase them, but eventually a bridge collapses and you're unable to give any further chase. The next day your boss is chewing you out for such an enormous fuck up that it not only is risking Ryuki his job, but also the entire department of your part of the police is under fire because of how badly you did.As the player you might be wondering why there's such an extreme reaction to losing the culprit's trail. The answer is the day you chased the culprit was in the present. The CEO has not been murdered yet, and Ryuki never goes to visit the building in the past to keep the twist hidden. What Ryuki actually did during the day that was skipped over was accidentally shoot a civilian with no provocation. You find out about this when you play that day as the second Mizuki. In the present Ryuki isn't even officially on the case because he's on leave due to mental health problems. Him investigating the case was his issues flaring up causing him to suddenly act as the day he met the CEO six years ago happened yesterday, so he was chasing very old leads.
>>697942796If they get filtered by low production values, then VNs are not the medium for them. And if they get filtered by "Key slop", good, I don't want tasteless plebs getting into VNs.>>697942891Thunderbolt Fantasy is also pretty great.
>>697963539Is this an even worse asspull than ”there was some old man who was with Q-Team the entire time yet was never shown on camera and only vaguely talked about by the rest of the team”?
>>697954802>that VNThe most unforgettable horror porn game I've ever played. No other game had a bunch of elementary schoolers gangbang a teenage girl against a wall. And the teenage girl loved it. No other game I've played had a 17 year old bishonen guy drink a 14 year old girl's piss and chase her down the hall to rape her, only to wind up getting anally raped by a 32 year old fat man. I still remember the scene where a 16-17 girl was hiding under a bed as her same age best friend was having sex with that same 32 year old fat guy on top. She heard every moan, bed shake and sound. In the wrong end she was discovered under the bed by her friend and made to join. A most terrifying scene was when an unwilling girl relives another girl's sex memories. The girl in the memory consented but the reliving girl didn't. It didn't matter that she was mentally screaming, her body in the memory did all the motions and actions as in history. It's like mind control rape except the victim was fully aware. Another scene the same girl and a friend were almost raped in a magic sex ritual, saved by the girl's older sister, and the backlash made the older sister want to rape her younger sister and friend.The loli in this pic is freakishly lewd and once disguised herself as a teenage girl, fucked a boy until he nearly came, transformed back saying>You thought you were having sex with a highschooler weren't you? I'm an elementary schooler all along!And leglocks that boy, forcing him to cum inside her unprotected, when he screams in fear upon learning this. This isn't even getting into the tentacles, the gay sex, the lesbian sex, the incest, the sequel's mother/daughter lesbian scene, etc. The first chapter alone contains lots of lesbian sex scenes with an unavoidable girl masturbating in the bathroom. Truly horror is intrinsically connected with sexuality.
>>697918750Joseph Anderson destroyed that game lmao
>>697965030the idea that this post wasn't made in jest both scares me and disgusts meeither way, kill yourself
>>697965501Have you ever watched any of his videos? He’s not your average IGN reviewer or clueless eceleb, he’s a god when it comes to video game critique, I fully trust his taste.
>>697964637I'm actually not sure. ZTD's twist does at least serve a purpose, but it's kept hidden by Q team learning Sean's name off screen and conveniently never referring to him as Sean until after you expose Q as Delta. I personally find that really annoying since it relies on characters acting incredibly strange, there is no reason why Eric and Mira would never refer to Sean by his name during all of the segments you play as Q team. Nirvana Initiative on the other hand is a pointless twist, but the characters themselves aren't doing anything bizarre, it's just the fault of the game's structure. I think I hate them both equally for different reasons.
>>697965575oh thank god it was a joke
>>697965575>2 hour review for Fallout 4Heh
>>697965760Sean should have just been nameless honestly
Baldr Sky worth picking up? It's 60% off. I already read MLA and Muramasa.
>>697965775You’re the joke, nigger.>>697965790Source?
>>697927029Bump.
>>697966634baldr sky is the complete opposite of mla and muramasa. it's not bad on purpose to subvert expectations, it's unintentionally bad because the writers have the mental capacity of middle schoolers. The main draw of baldr sky is the gameplay.
>>697923872It's a "deconstruction" of the murder mystery / whodunnit genre in VN form, if you desire to solve the mystery by asking "who, what, where, why?" you are an "intellectual rapist" (quoted from the VN, not a joke) according to Ryu07. You have to care about the feelings of the not only the victims but of the murderers... it turns into a giant metanarrative. With 3 or 4 layers max, I think? Ryu07 missed the boat, this was done in the 80s in japanese mystery circles with 'shinhonkaku'.I'd say if you haven't played or watched Higurashi no Naku Koro (play the first arc VN, it's pretty short - the Studio Deen adaptation in case of anime, 2 seasons, very good) then I'd hold off on Umineko. People either love or hate Umineko. If you play, prepare to take notes to solve the mysteries. Can you defeat Ryu07? Can you endure his prose? Will you care about his characters? Can the catbox be solved????/I personally dislike Umineko. Ryu07 was a one-hit wonder with Higurashi by my estimation. I don't understand why you'd make a mystery story with heavy anti-mystery elements and being hostile to a large chunk of the fanbase. It falls victim of its format - serialized VN. I think it has some cool ideas & a cool premise however I think it would be a much better story if you could make choices. I believe there is only one choice to make late in EP8 when you play as Ange, which just alters the ending. But please don't let Umineko ruin Higurashi for you. Higurashi as a story is actually good.Overall, I don't enjoy VNs typically. I wish a clash of genres came together and there existed VNs where you have actual choices or combining point & click adventure games - lots of possibilities there.

>>697966634Sure. The plot is bumpy and its presentation is not up to everyone's taste, but it has a lot of great moments and characters. Nice integration of exciting gameplay, too.
>>697919489Zoom zoom, a fucking porn visual novel won the /v/idya awards while you were still suckling your mammas tit
>>697968497NTA but how is Ever17 related to Muramasa? why even bring it up?
