Is there a more overrated visual novel in existence?
subahibi
yes
Babie's first visual novel
>>738982021Genuinely this. I was never more overhyped and disappointed by a piece of media than when I read this shit. An honest-to-god 7/10 at best.
>>738982021Fata Morgana is definitely overrated but I still think it's good. It's just that nothing else really tries what it tries to do on a serious scale, so it becomes the only talking point in an empty ocean.
>>738981939And it's not close.
>>738981939>umiKINO: when they LIVE>overratedshould've posted hirugaSHIT as an example OP
>>738982235Both are good actually, but only patricians have this opinion
>>738981939Many because Umineko isn't overrated at all.
>>738981939steins gate
>>738982219I love Steins Gate and it was still the first thing that came to mind when thinking "overrated VN". That or "higurashi when they cry". Oh, you have cute anime girls that a murder psychos? And every time they just make their eyes really big, and laugh manically? What's the fucking appeal? It's so fucking dumb.
>>738982656>what's the appealtriggering your male correction instinct (rape)
>>738981939Joseph Anderson thinks this vn is good btw
>>738982219/thread
>>738982235Wrong. Both are kino, but Umineko is the one that gets relentlessly and pretentiously sucked off as hard as humanly possible, especially by trannies on MAL and faggoty video essay types. Higurashi fans meanwhile are purely in it for the vibes.
>>738981939MuvLuv, Dies Irae, everything by Type-Moon, Clannad
>>738982021Fata morgana kinda rips off the structure of Umineko with Doors 1-4 being the "mystery" parts and 5-8 being the "answer" partsThe music does most of the heavy lifting but even that gets grating at times. Still looking forward to Project Mhttps://steamcommunity.com/app/1962700/discussions/0/844006002571461693/But it's Steins Gate that is truly overrated. I just can't forgive dropped plot points (time abyss dreams, okabe's childhood superfever during a giant storm, mayuri's mental state possibly being a result of time shenanigans).
>>738982603>>738982219Filtered, for some reason time travel really seems to confuse a lot of people.
Do you still read VNs anon?
>>738984095Yes actually, i have Henpri queued up to read next
I loved it until pre-ep1-ending. The characters were all written in an interesting thing but the autistic kid really was irritating.
>>738982656That's the anime being dogshit and giving Higu a bad name. It's a mystery thriller not anime psychos.
>>738984626I must admit, I only saw the anime, never even finished it because it was so trash. But there was just so much of this dumb, overdone "Character laughs manically and grins from ear to ear while ramming her head into a knife" Every time something brutal or gruesome would happen, at least one female character had to be involved and make that fucking face. And I didn't get it, because that anime too, was SUPER popular and it was straight trash.
>>738981939Umi is flawed but there is no other story like it.
if ryukishi had an editor that kept his retarded tendencies in check maybe I would've found Umineko good.
>>738985093That goes for multiple writers really. FSN with a good editor's pass over it would be gigakino.
>>738984759Get filtered faggot :)
>>738981939Subahibi and Steins;Gate I'd say
>>738984759The anime overplays those element hard, I can't deny the VN has some of it but it's really not as big a thing as it is in the anime. The anime ruined higu's reputation forever because it's the anime ready made for watchmojo's top 10 most crazy anime girl.
>>738981939Battler is my boy
>>738984626Every anime adaptation loses something critical from the original work, especially with VNs.
>>738981939Muv Luv
It's funny how highly rated it used to be before ourguy decided to just crash it, watch it do multiple rolls in mid-air, explodes in to a fireball and oh thank god Teppei is daijoboo.
>>738986557Muv Luv hasn't been relevant for over 10 years. Nobody overrates it anymore.
>>738981939>>738982219>>738982656>>738983419all of these are really goodexcept fate
rewrite
>>738984095At some point you've already read all of the classics. There aren't more than 20-30 worth reading.
>>738981939Arguably F/SN, sure it is more "widely known" but honestly i think even fans of that one admit it is "Babbys First" and i often see it sequested into a "it exists" corner when actual VNfags talk and make their tierlists and such.You don't go call "CARS AND TRUCKS AND THINGS THAT GO" overrated just cause kids eat it up when your local book club ignores it exists.
>>738981939That and Steins gate are the most overrated vns. Higurashi is way better and less pretentious.
>>738988412If you like moege that number becomes at least 3 times higher
>>738983210And he's damn right.
>>738981939No. Umineko is bloated garbage that is the biggest waste of time ever. Tranny game, too. Read the manga if you value your time at least slightly.
>>738982071I liked it
Overrated is a soulless meaningless buzzword, real critics would never use such a useless word
>>738990289Completely untrue but okay.
>>738981939great question chapters. first ep is really good single horror novel. it's longer than most vns alone too
>>738981939It just has the same problem as almost every other visual novel which is pacing.
>>738982071If anything it's underrated atp by younger zoomies who only watched the ufotable anime and think they know the full story from that.
>>738981939Stein;Gates is worse
These VNs that are posted, aren't they old? Are there no new VNs to talk about? I see some on itch but the few I've played are quite bad.
>>738981939Higurashi
>>738991572Someone mentioned Hentai Prison which is probably the most recent hit
>>738991652Higurashi is the best thing Ryukishi ever made thoughbeit
>>738981939Still one of the more interesting vns out there, and it's not like vns are exactly well written on the whole.
I will never read Umineko.
>>738981939i want to buy a beatrice, dlanor or erika figgy
>>738981939Muv LuvSteins;GateDDLC
Ryu07 has among the worst prose I've ever and I feel like I'm being trolled when people say he's an amazing writer
>>738993850he has amazing prose but you got to read his works in japanese first which you did not
>>738986958GouSotsu was a mistake of terrible proportions.
>>738994339How did the Japanese fans feel about it, are they as widely reviled there?
>>738994801I don't speak nip so no idea.
>>738981980>>738982219Both of these
>>738981939Read more than one vn and you'll find out
>>738988735The thing about Fate is that it's such a massive multimedia leviathan now that it's legitimately fair to say that the original VN has been eclipsed by its adaptations and other tertiary shit
>>738988212Nobody thinks that Shitwrite is good
>>738998506Some people really fucking love it, I've seen them around
>>738983593if I love Umineko will I like Fata Morgana then?
>>738983593>I just can't forgive dropped plot pointsthey do address some of this stuff in SG;0 but also >reading SG;0
>>738998837S;G has so many issues it ends up being a net negative despite whatever plot holes it solves.
There are so many overrated vns, but which vns would you consider underrated?
