Damn, nobody ever told me that some of these weeb vns have better writing than Disco Elysium. Where have these stories been my whole life?
>>740502634More like how are you this much of a newfag on an anime website? Have you really never heard of SG before?
>>740502634I watched the anime last year and it was kino, Kurisu a best
>>740502815Based taste, now go and read the visual novel.
>>740502634yes, play more Nitro Plus stuff, some of them are even better than S;G
stein's gate is regularly praised. you just had your eyes closed.
>>740502634Disco Elysium is far better, I don't know how anyone can look at the main character's manchild behavior and call this a masterpiece.
Error. Human is dead. Mismatch.
I miss my ps vita
>>740503392Such as?
Give it to me straight, guys. Is Mayuri a special needs person?
>>740503567Cause they’re weebs, they’re used to (brainwashed) the insane shouting and nonsense

Rape Suzuha
>>740503567I played Disco Elysium six months ago and while I enjoyed it a lot, I barely remember a thing about it.
>>740503392nothing in the nitroplus catalogue is better than S;G lmao
Umineko is betterS;G is midMuramasa is the worst
>>740504358And Muv-Luv is the best!
>>740503672Sumaga was a better Steins;Gate imo, it's a R18 experimental prototype for Steins;Gate, and despite it feeling less cohesive than SG at times, personally I enjoyed it a lot more than SG.In terms of good shit in general I think Muramasa was very well written, although saying this somehow makes some people really angry so I'll just say that it's a if you like it, you like it kind of game.
>>740503425Not praised nearly enough.
>>740504528I haven't heard anyone mention muv luv for the better part of 20 years...
>>740503567Filtered.
>>740504352nah I'm not S;G hater but S;G is a very basic vn imoit's very focused on entertainment value than trying to deliver a meaning, and despite this Luka and Faris arc was a straight-up filler.
Are we buying the re-re-remake?
Maho is best girl btw
>>740505046I guess, the price is a turn down but attractor field Gamma and potentially an extra ending got me
>>740504889Well I only got into it two years ago and I love it.
>>740504931Then I'm fucking waiting for you to tell everyone in the thread the nitroplus title you find better than S;G.
>>740505046I'm not to against it if it actually was a remake-sequel or added a proper story to each character's endings instead of it being a short epilogue, not buying if the new content was minimalwould 1000% buy if they added a h-scene to rape suzuha in suzuha route
>>740502634Well yes, it's one of the top 5 VNs of all time
>>740505425>Rance somehow at the topWhat

>>740506437This.
>>740502634of course you would like this you sick fuck
>>740506093I know I didn't word it right to introduce OP to other games because I don't actually hate Steins;Gate, but man S;G fanbase is absolute cancer when all they do is just play this single game, and when trying to talk about other VNs they dodge conversation with absolute shitpost like this
>>740506367>Is that actually in the story?Yes. >How is it not censoredWhy would it be censored?
>>740506513>>740506717Seems like something that would be banned on most stores and platforms
>>740506841Why? It's just words. Why would you ban words?
>>740506892because steam is the most cucked store on planet earth.
>>740506437basedI liked chaos child too
>>740507106onoe serika sex. sex. with onoe serika.
>>740506437Not really. Chaos;Head had a fantastic first half, but the endings weren't great and the kino denpa horror disappears after a while. Steins;Gate has a much better true ending and better tonal shifts.
>>740507635this. or least for the anime, I couldn't into the ending
So true, now play 999
There's no time to explain. Quickly give me a list of 10 visual novels to read this summer!
>>740507739chaos;head doesnt have an anime
>>740507813read her game.
>>740504889The Vita release was 8 years ago, you bought a physical copy, right?
>>740507908A man needs a name.
>>740503567Because they're weebs, anon. They don't read books. They don't play or consume Western storytelling, no matter the period. They don't watch older movies, especially non-American ones.Almost all of their media is Japanese, sometimes with a bit of Korean.Which means that:1. Literally 95% of all of it is in the same anime aesthetic, with very few exceptions.2. Japan only knows the following storytelling devices, and so do they:>ripping off Western media wholesale,>slice of life (insert moe here, as well),>stories literally about IRL Japan,>regurgitating the same handful of Shinto and Buddhist myths,>misery porn mixed in with pseudo-philosophy,>X is a cycle,That's it, there's nothing else Japan produces.Oh, wait, there's one more, one which is becoming rapidly increasing in how much of their market it occupies:>stories that regurgitate tropes and plots from other, older Japanese media, without having a basic understanding of what they're aboutIsekai is the reigning champion of that one.So no, a weeb won't like Disco Elysium, because anime treats anything mildly political like a vampire treats holy water. So for a weeb the story is inimical to their samey autistic tastes.

>>740509293e17 is about the only older popular VN with an actual decent ending.
>>740509293Yes
>>740508470>They don't read books.I love how condescending normalfags think a masterpiece novel like Umineko, which is longer than the entire Harry Potter series, isn't a proper book, while they would only read boring slop written by failed english majors while thinking they are well-read and above those smelly weebs lmao
>>740509098
>>740509098utawarerumono. its ok.
There is no way any anime shit is well-written, ever. Shit intended for consumption by teenagers cannot be high art. Grow up.
>>740509098lurk moar
>>740503567I don't get it, Harry also has a lot of extremely cringe manchild behavior?
>>740509351I've long held the theory that the Muv-Luv story Resurrection based the main characters weird arousal-related powers on Gravity's Rainbow
>>740502634Because normalfags aren't supposed to know.
>>740507813Santaful Summer
>>740509802I refuse!
>>740509605>which is longer than the entire Harry Potter seriesThis is your argument? That's it long? There are fics on Archive of Our Own that are the length of encyclopaedias, which doesn't make them good.The fact you're calling Umineko a "masterpiece" is enough to prove my point about >>740508470.

>>740511847>oomieWhy do you keep making such a big deal about being new to 4chan?
How did Daru score a hot girl? This breaks my suspension of disbelief.
>>740512816Just be yourself :)
>>740503672>>740504352Muramasa and Hanachirasu are both better.
>>740512816In that one side stories Vn it shows some cosplayer found him pathetic in a cute way
>>740515301why doesnt anyone find me pathetic in a cute way...?
>>740502634It's boring garbage
It's been a good decade since I've last cared about Steins;Gate, why are the SG autists hating the new remake?
>>740516846>uses a shorter script, about 30% of text has been cut>worse artstyle>re recorded dialogue that sounds worse than the original>the "new" content they promised is just a drama cd adapted in a vn formatThat's the summary.
I recently played Muramasa and haven’t gotten to talk about it with anyone. I was actually annoyed by Kageaki not being willing to kill Hikaru in the true route and found her reasoning annoying but I also didn’t realize the twist until they spell it out for you and it really got to me when everything clicked.That scene right before the credits hits (not epilogue) with that song playing still makes me cry when I see it again.
>>740517235Damn..But I love moeka and I want a proper route for her even if that already technically existed it's just not the same as a cd drama.
>>740504528>muv luv laser beta>"huurr durrr is all over">chompedI am still here magget freemasons
>>740502634Not video games.
>>740502634Everyone told you that. Disco Elysium sells mostly to people who don't read
>>740520883Then why does D*** Elysium gets constant threads in /v/? mm. curious.
>>740502634I knew not to take weebs seriously when they started calling this absolute slop a 10/10 story. You will fit right in with them.
>>740522954Cope.
>>740505371Almost all of them.

>>740503769I don't think so. She can be very perceptive when she wants to be.
just play steins gate and muv;luv, maybe baldr sky, and then just forget that the genre exists. Trust me. https://youtu.be/E9D1rWlCWnQ?si=0Evnqz5-w6K65FHr

>>740503567t. agul and potato eating retard
>>740529917it's interesting how they keep dumping down or regurgitating existing material in this franchise to get new entrants and it sells like shit every time because every sciadv fan is 40 years old and is only interested in collecting drama cds
Thoughts on 0? I overall thought it was entertaining but ultimately pretty mid, except I think that the route where he briefly crosses back over to the Kurisu is alive timeline was more heart wrenching than anything in the original.
>>740543548Same, it was mid. Not without its good moments but there's a lot of bad parts that I'd rather not remember.

>>740543334have they been releasing new drama cds for the non-s;g stuff?
>>740543548Good, not great and a ton of wasted potential. Had very good moments but a lot of it was muddled by execution, and pretty much everything involving Kagari was hot steaming dogshit. Didn't expand on a lot of interesting concepts, like the WWIII world-line or the implications of many people other than Okabe having strong Reading Steiner.
>>740545673>kagamiI literally thought she was just kurisu with g cups, I'm not sure why they didn't give her a more distinctive hair style/face. I thought she was going to be a clone or a cyborg or something
Which Kamige should I read if I really like gay sex?
>>740543548That was a pretty good moment but I still think the most heart wrenching moment is reading Suzuha’s letter
>>740547313Am I the only one that found the Suzuha's letter scene underwhelming? I understand there's supposed to be some emotional gravity but just writing "I failed, I failed" over and over felt like the writer couldn't come up a better way to make the letter feel tragic.
>>740502634I played through it recently too. It’s funny, but I realized that I didn’t always have to use the phone just because I was at Feiris’s apartment - I didn’t want to push her away.In the end, I loaded my save file anyway and played just like before, always using the phone, and made it to the ending with Mayuri.But I still have that itch to play through Kurisu’s route; I’ll have to replay it sometime, even though diving into these kinds of games a second time is tough for me.
>>740547652let's be honest, in a universe where horny 18 year olds could accidentally develop a time machine via a microwave, it wouldn't be that much more difficult to build an actual time machine to stop all the bad things in the world. So it is hard to have any kind of gravitas at all in the narrative
Should I get Muramasa or Baldrsky?I read that Baldrsky has decent gameplay alongside the VN.
>no Kurisu GF
>>740502741>animesir you seem very confused, this is a visual novel thread
>>740548061Need more cosplayers like this.
>>740548028Muramasa has a much, much better story. And while Baldr Sky has god tier gameplay the broken skip function makes reading different routes tedious. Same scenes in a different route are treated like a completely new scene so skipping read text doesn't work.
>>740508470>They don't read books. They don't play or consume Western storytelling, no matter the period. They don't watch older movies, especially non-American ones.Weeb here, yes I do.The rest of your point is invalidated by the above line.
>>740502634Why would you be surprised that some nip anime slop has better writing than some retarded hamfisted e-communist faggot shit?
>>740508470reading Carmilla rn and honestly nothing in it would be out of place in a showa anime. it's so camp.
>>740502634Bad taste OP, this VN is overrated dogshit.
>>740502634Such an overrated VN. Play 999.

>>740557374Not Occultic Nine that's for sure
>>740502634Doesn't this game have a tranny character?
>>740557920The anime was great though
>>740558095It was a trap, not a tranny.As in it's a guy who likes being a guy and want to be more masculine even but just fails at it.
>>740508470I know normalfags love to fall back on Tolkein and LOTR. But really at the end of the day, he wrote the equivalent of an Isekai WN that might get a 2 season adaptation a few years down the line.
I've had Atri installed for like the last 9 months. What am I in for? Other than farding and shidding myself and crying apparently
>>740502634Higurashi and Muramasa are far better.
>>740502634Read your second VN and you'll see it isn't that special.
>>740502634Why aren't there more VNs with actual gameplay? Are there any VN RPGs? The exploration is the worst part of every RPG, why can't they just be dialogue, character building, and combat
visual novels arent games and disco elysium is reddit coded. PLEASE GO BACK.
Read some books, you fucking incel.
ok /v/ what if you're someone who has actually read a couple hundred books, and you only watch anime when it reaches a really high threshold for writing qualityis there such a thing as a western/literary vn? what's the closest thing?
>>740557374>Yes, DaSH sucked tho>Yes>No, from what I've heard its basically unfinished>Yes, kinda short tho
>>740561456most OELVNs are self published. there's not much of a AA industry for it.
>>740557431It has more gameplay than Stein's trash
>>740502634steins;gate is only good one btw, these weebs will try to convince you otherwise, but other vns are straight waste of time. If you want actual good writing go pick up a book.
