>He hasn't played peak story gaming yetWell anon? What's your excuse?
>>722522195Actually you're mistaken, I've already Kurisu's game.
/v/ makes fun of wojacks and they basedbeans but you psy congro whatever guys are the same level of cringe.
>>722522338The days is screenshot reaction images was 1000x better then wojak edits
>>722522338We already knew you were retarded so no surprise that you can't tell the difference.
>>722522335You've already? Already what?
>>722522195but I did play it

Reminder that visual novels are not and will never be video games.
>>722522879reading is a skill-based activity just like gambling in gacha games.
>>722522683That doesn't look like peak to me.
Is this any good?
>>722522195I already tried playing your time travel vn and it was kind of mediocre.
>>722522195Japanese writing is fucking awful
>>722523334>Japanese writing is fucking awfulMeanwhile, Berserk is considered the best art made by a man.
>>722522661Already read Kurisu's game of course. It's still my favorite VN today.
>>722523334But did you even read the VN? Did you even watch the anime?
>>722522195If Kurisu is so smart why is she so weak to anal?
>>722523125It is
>>722523837This shit was so boring I almost died of boredom.
Are you still reading VNs /v/?
>>722522195There is objectively only one good VN, and that's Blazblue
>>722524262It doesn't even do a time looping story as well as SG, dumb post.
>>722523837>飛車魚 -- 多分>fly car fish -- probablywhat did she mean by this?
>>722523284I would tell you but it needs windows 10 to run so I can't play it.I heard other anons say it's good though.
Should I read Muramasa after all? How long is it?
>>722524461Time looping is for chumps that watch "top 10 secrets and easter eggs in this capeshit movie"
>>722524620>needs windows 10 to runDoes that mean it won't work on 11?
>>722524668You might have to reread the VN more slowly this time if that's all you got out of it.Time looping isn't even the only thing that happens in SG.
>>722522195I tried "playing" this years ago. It was extremely fucking boring, the main character's pretending to be a retard gimmick wore out its miniscule charm instantly. The writing was insufferable and I quit very early on. Is there a point in the story where it gets good?
>>722524763Correction: windows 10 onward
Posting the best anime girl of all time.
>>722522195But I have. I read best girl's route and stopped because doing otherwise would be cheating
>download Nukitashi, a hentai VN>some of the worst localizationisms Ive ever seen>MC literally drops a "this ain't it chief" before getting his cock suckedwhat the fuck? Not even my porn is safe from some millenial faggot adding in internet slang to a TL?
>>722524624It's fun. Great presentation, the story and characters are great fun despite how self-serious the VN gets.

>>722524913Most of the people who'd bother spending their time translating stuff are attentionwhores twisted by social media use and probably mental illness. The guy who wrote it was thinking of you and giggling when he added that line.
>>722524802It gets good around the time that you get some taste.
>>722524620>it needs windows 10 to run so I can't play itHow are you subsisting on Win7? Steam doesn't even support it anymore.
Play The House in Fata Morgana.I'm going to play Muramasa next and I hope /vg/ did not trick me.
Need Mayuri wife NOW
>>722525156Yeah but I thought the common thing with localizers is their disdain for the source material. So I assumed that porn from japan featuring all the icky gross stuff they dislike from that culture would have kept them away.
>>722524913Despite that, it's still a kamige
>>722522195Steins;Gate was fucking boring, I can't believe this is supposed to be the best visual novel of all time according to VNfags.
>>722522195I finally watched that horrible show thinking it would be some kind of a twisting time travel drama but time travel was basic as shit, the whole story was very simple and it was all just an excuse for a harem show with zero actual fanservice. How is this so popularI only watched it because I liked Occultic Nine, which is actually a twisting time travel drama, and is also unpopular apparently. Thought it was great. Better fanservice too
play 2236 A.D
>>722525820I don't know about that. I think us adults forget sometimes just how much of what kids think, say, comes mostly from a desire to get a rise out of someone, or imagine that someone getting angry.
>>722522195I already played Muv-luv
>>722525386Actually, I'm on windows 8.1 and life is hard. Can't even play Unity slop anymore.>Steam doesn't even support it anymore.I though long about a real reason, but it seems I just don't care about Steam. I got a ton of softmodded consoles and writable cartriges though.

>>722525984Western VNfag taste is very odd to me. >RanceOstensibly an epic that's thus far only available to JOPs. We can ignore it for now>Steins;GateI thought it was neat. The "common" route was pretty charming. The maid and the faggot twink routes were a waste of time. I don't have a strong love for it but I think it's pretty decent. >White Album 2Love it. Actually I really love one of the heroines and I can excuse any flaws in any aspect of the story because I just really love her. I do think it's genuinely a pretty good VN though. >Muv LuvI tried it for 4 hours. It was very tedious. >UminekoRead until chapter 5 I think. Reminds me of the story about the Emperor's new clothes. HE HASN'T FUCKING GOT ANY! And no talent either!>MuramasaA great VN. Pretentious sometimes, but genuinely cool and fun. So I don't know what to tell you. Sometimes I think VNfags are delusional and sometimes I see they have a similar taste to mine.
>>722526661BASEDASED
>>722527618>buying visual novels
>>722523284Really fucking goodIt's my current favorite VN. The mysteries are well thought out and there's not a single unlikeable character in the cast. If you're a fan of locked room mysteries I highly recommend it
Cute phone mechanics for the routes but that's all there is for me
>>722522195>peakit's no better than Twilight's writing
Why yes, I only play the peak VNs, how can you tell?
>>722522195I thought the anime was fun enough. Is there enough to the VN to justify "playing" it having already seen the anime?
>>722528060>Twilight's writingshut up woman. stop embarrassing yourself.
>>722528164If you look at it from an anime perspective then the different routes are "what ifs" for those times where okabe changes the timeline
>>722528164Moeka's arc was completely changed and made much weaker in the anime due to the VN version being too graphic for TV, and Suzuha and Faris's endings are worth checking outThat being said, I personally like how the anime does episode 23 better with the VN OP playing when Kyouma reawakens
>>722522195I'm waiting for the remake
You can RAPE her and turn back time.NOBODY WILL KNOW
>>722522195>Well anon? What's your excuse?My excuse is that I have a bad back and don't want to read anything sitting down. Steins;gate needs to be on a tablet so that I can read it lying down on my back.

>>722522195I already tried playing it years ago but didn't like it much.
>>722528846Comfy gaming
>>722522195Steins;gate is bad writing. The story only happens because the supposedly smart people keep doing uncharacteristically stupid things for no reason.
>>722522195Why is it that these threads are always full of anons having melties over this VN in particular?
>>722529819Because it's ranked higher and more acclaimed than their favorite slop VN probably.
>>722529819It's undeservedly praised so people have to be told they're wrong.
>>722529946I have no idea why you're avataring as Suzuha if you're being this retarded.
>>722529946most disingenuous suzuhaposting I've ever seen
>>722530061You don't know what avatarfaggotry is, fucking retard.
>>722528006I swear to fucking god if it's like Danganronpa at all where I have to stress myself out gathering random meaningless items and solving cases.I REALLY don't like that stuff. If it's a straighforward VN without any player input then I'll read through it.
>He doesn't like DanganKINO
>>722522195The time travel was interesting enough but I can't call Steins;Gate peak because I didn't like a single character in it. Just so many obnoxious characters that revolve around their one shitty archetype and that's it.
>>722522195Visual novels are just too slow paced. If you're going to go for something that long at least play a JRPG.
>>722524913theres a patch that removes zoomer slang, found in vndb
>>722522195Not video games.
>>722522195I don't play games with hideous protagonists. Okabe is legitimately too ugly to tolerate and his personality doesn't make up for it whatsoever.
>>722532630I think you would have a hard time finding a better visual novel protagonist than him so I can't imagine what it is you're looking for out of one.
>>722522195Story has no place in games. I don't know what people even see in this genre.
>>722526661It's funny how this constantly whiplashed from being 20% pure unadulterated kino to 80% raw sewage
>>722522195>Reddit;Gate
I groan.This is exactly what I hate.
>>722527873What a shit list. Idk whats the point of "specialized" sites if they are gonna vomit the same shit opinions as normalfags on social media.This is like looking at the "BEST ANIMUS EVER" list on my anime list.
>>722530424You might not like it thenI admittedly haven't played Danganronpa but it's like Ace Attorney where there's cross-interrogation sections where the player has to point out contradictions in the testimonies of others and present evidence.The clue gathering is much more straightforward though and doesn't need you to click everywhere on the screen to find what you need.
>>722533424

>>722535252yeah they're kinda hit or miss. Its reserved until the end just so its pure fanservice. The endings to them always tugged on my heart so powering through them was worth it imo.
I thought the council of /v/ said stories don't matter in vidya?
I was extremely disappointed by Kara no Shoujo 3 compared to 1 and 2
>>722535749have you actually played any of them?
>>722535973You can always look up a guide online and the timer is so generous you can brute force most things but I think one of the main appeals was slowly realizing with your own logic that a character you really liked is the only one that could possibly commit the murder given the circumstancesThe game is incredibly good at playing with your emotions in making you attached to the characters only to kill them off or force you to prosecute them despite really wishing they were innocent

>>722539949Just read it already.
>>722528142>Not 2dThis looks terrible.
>>722536447Yeah this is fucking garbage.It's just a random guessing game. These things never follow "logic" they always follow the writer's own delusions.
>>722522195>Reddit's;Gatepic unrelated
>>722544703You were right. Refunded.What a waste of time.
>>722544703I feel like everything is pretty internally consistent but it sounds like you aren't a fan of mysteries in general in which case there's no helping it
>>722548402I'm coming off a mystery series called Rokka no Yuusha which I absolutely loved. I saw this game and thought it might be more of the same because of the magical fantasy element.I just don't like when you're supposed to put your mind into the author's deranged intentions. I'd rather watch it play out.
>>722522195I did play the rance games, which are supposedly VNs.
>>722548687>Rokka no YuushaI didn't think this was anything special so maybe our tastes are just incompatible>I'd rather watch it play out.The best part of mysteries is trying to solve it yourself and beat the author at his own game in my opinion. Particularly with VNs you might as well take advantage of the medium by turning it into an actual game instead of a voiced picture book
>>722544703How is pointing out contradictions a guessing game?
>>722548924>Particularly with VNs you might as well take advantage of the medium by turning it into an actual game instead of a voiced picture book反論: That doesn't make any sense. If you were to take advantage of the medium you'd turn it into a fully-fledged video game like Monkey Island or Grim Fandango or some such instead of a VN. VNs are supposed to be voiced picture books from the get-go. I hate this phrase with a passion but I want to like this game. There are cute girls in it. I was using the fast forward option in the trial without even reading the text and clicking every red part because I knew it didn't matter and I would eventually reach the "correct" decision. I simply don't understand the point of trying to reach your own conclusion when it's foregone anyway.>>722549175>guessing gameBecause you're not really doing anything. You can guess at all the given options and get the same result. If you think something makes sense and the game says "no" then it kind of wanes any interest in the game's logic.As for Rokka no Yuusha, it's best to read the books. I won't fault you if you don't feel like doing that after the anime ending though.
>>722549382>unironically using kanji mixed with englishplease don’t do that, it’s cringe

>>722549604how about you commit 自殺 then you fucking リア充
>>722549679>randomly guessing is not fun.That's exactly what I think. It's why I'd prefer it either be built in a way where guessing is more punishing or not have you put in situations like that at all.>>722549683>リア充Fucking retard, you don't know even know what that is.
>>722549382>VNs are supposed to be voiced picture books from the get-go.A good chunk of classic VNs are interactive.You can take the VN in the OP for example, it's a forgone conclusion that Okabe will eventually reach the Steins;Gate timeline if you brute force all the choices, but giving the player options makes it more fun rather than having it be linear (and honestly Steins;Gate is way more BS in how to reach the true end)
>>722549796trying to show off your N5 skills is normalfag mentality, yes
>>722549842Maybe I should do what the first guy said and keep a guide up because the trial mechanic is what I don't like at all.I'm hoping that if the story is good enough then following a guide won't ruin the intrigue.
I really can't believe it makes you skip through this crap.
You cannot convince me this isn't a guessing game.
>>722525576>going to play Muramasa nextbig mistake.why ruin the medium for yourself by reading the best one so early in your journey?
WOOOOOOOW SO FUUUUUUUUNThey told me I couldn't refund it but I can at least warn others not to waste their money on this poorly written nonsense guessing game.
>>722552748>Miria explicitly said she cleaned up afterwards both during the stream yesterday and during the trial itselfI'm sorry anon but you might be a brainlet
>>722549952NTA but closest interpretation of "リア充" may be "normalfag" but it's not an accurate 1:1 translationIt's actually a seething word that categorizes normalfags as the "fulfilled people", and it's not used sarcastically so sincerely calling someone "fulfilled" for showing off their skills isn't really an insultShowing Nipponese skills by unnecessarily mixing-in Japanese is cringe, that I agree
