they are so poorly written that they shouldn't appeal at all to people who read books, the art is so bad and lacking that they shouldn't appeal to manga or anime fans, and the gameplay is basically non existant so they shouldn't appeal to people who play actual video games. in all visual novels should a dead medium, yet it is the most hyped medium ever and still gaining so many fans, why?
>>722625070You dropped this bro
>they are so poorly written that they shouldn't appeal at all to people who read booksBecause this isn't true, you would know this if you had read masterpieces like Fate/stay night, Muv Luv Alternative, Baldr Sky, and that's just from the top of my head. >yet it is the most hyped medium ever and still gaining so many fans, whyThis also isn't true, it's a very niche genre, mostly because video game players hate reading, most can't even understand what they are reading.
>>722625070Take a look at this and tell me it isn't the most intense gameplay you've ever seen.https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1974652437412843520/vid/avc1/1280x720/CVOIFrC9_2fv9fFs.mp4
most books out there are slop and people still read them
>>722625070>t. Only idea of a visual novel is class of 09
>>722625448Kino...
What does the X button do?
>>722625561Jason
>>722625070clearly you know nothing about VNs because no real VN reader would press X to advance text
>>722625070They're like picture books for toddlers but change the pictures for sexy anime girls and the toddlers for manchildren. They can pretend they're clever because they're reading something and act like the story is dark and mature cuz the writer keeps shoving his weird sexual fantasies into the narrative.
I don't care about the actual content of visual novels. they're just an awful medium for reading stories.
>>722625448Better than Ping Pong the Animation/10
>>722625292I bought one of these and they fucking fuck, just hump the pocket pussy between some pillows.
>>722625292what even is that
>>722626324A VR accessory
>>722625448Incredible. Does this support Dolby Atmos?
>>722625448holy kek what the fuck is wrong with japan
>>722625070At least put a d-pad. What, you expect me to choose the top choice every single time?
>>722625070what is up with people hating on things they didn't even try?OP didn't read even a single line of a visual novel
>>722626630 Japan saw the line between innovation and degeneracy and said "yes, both." Honestly I respect the commitment. No other country could culturally engineer a scenario where mashing X to moan becomes a competitive sport.
>>722625070No one is forcing you to read them, so just shut the fuck up and go on with your life and don't worry about other peoples' buisness you fucking faggot
>>722625070most people are low iq and have dogshit taste (especially on this board), its a sad and scary realization
The gameplay isn't about pressing buttons but imagining the girls naked.
I read Kara no Shoujo 1 and 2 (much less so 3 but 3 had a really hard hitting moment) it has lived with me more than most vidya has
>>722626324holocaust-era torture device, reimagined
>>722625635For me, it's right Enter or down arrow. I fucking hate when VNs don't let you remap the advance text button.
>>722625448Do japaniggers really?
>>722625070Nu-gow for the snoystation be like
>>722627095>imaginingYou dumb bitch, that's for gacha cucks. VNs hail from a better time where girls actually getting naked was part of the ride.
Are there any vns with interactive elements like the legacy adventure type games on pc
>>722629263not sure if these are what youre looking for but>ace attorney series>danganronpa series>zero escape trilogy
>>722629263If you like Funyarinpa then 999 is the game for you
>>722628168We must be better visual novels
>>722629263silver case
>>722628168 And they act like it's high art now. Imagine reading three hours of dialogue just to press square in a cutscene pretending you're engaged. At least a VN owns its format - no illusions, just text, choices, and sometimes boobs.
>>722625070>attacking the weakest amongst usAre you proud of yourselves? Bullying the mentally challenged? It's not their fault.
>>722628168I've replayed every gow except these two. Why not let us skip this shit?
When has anyone said that VN's have good gameplay?
>>722625632SHAUN
>>722630506>>722625632https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t0uCWjQ6Og
>>722625380>masterpieces like Fate/stay night,
>>722626871Why would I do that when I could read a real literary masterpiece like the Great Gatsby or To Kill a Mockingbird?
>>722625070I don't consider VN to be games so >>>/lit/. You can browse internet with a controller and it doesn't magically turn google chrome into a video game.
>>722630140>Why not let us skip this shit?It was inspired by one of /v/'s favorite video games.
>>722631773It was a different thyme
>>722631773This doesn't look like HL1
>>722625070>>722631047ITT:
Any good vn recommendations? I've only ever played snootgame, so I don't have any expectations, and it actually made me feel something for the first time in many years
>>722632518TsukihimeFate/Stay NightNo installation needed, just read them onlinehttps://tsukiweb.holofield.fr/disclaimerhttps://fatestaynight.vnovel.org/prologue/1These are two of the most quintessential visual novels to read
>>722632518Slay The Princess was pretty fun and the devs say to pirate it if you don't wanna buy it.
>>722632518Saya no Uta, don't look it up beyond downloading if you haven't already.
>>722632742Thanks, I will check them out.>>722633523Oh yeah I played that one too, I got it on Steam. I really enjoyed it, I should replay it to see another ending.>>722633718I will, thanks for the recommendation.
>>722625070>can't read>can't have fun>and after considerable mental exertion to come up with this thread, opens and closes his thoughts with 'i can't understand'Oh yeah, it's definitely the guy in your head that's stupid.
>>722625070Lonely weebs. Not hard to grasp at all.
>>722625070Reading is fun.
Just dropping by to say Umineko is the greatest piece of fiction of the 21st century
>>722625448They werent nuke enough. Wtf is this shit, even on low audio, it still huerted my ears. Seriously fuck this retarded autistic ass country
>>722625070>they are so poorly written>the art is so badOK so what's the single VN that you played leading you to this opinion
>>722631047>a real literary masterpiece like the Great Gatsby or To Kill a MockingbirdBoth of these books suck and the only reason you think they don't is because you were told they're classics
>>722631773I will forever begrudge Half-Life for pioneering the most anti-player time-wasting design choice in history
