Visual novel

>visual novel
>has no gameplay
>is literally an interactive book
>yet it's allowed to be discussed in detail on Sup Forums and considered a "video game"

Why is shit allowed?

Because it's a video game.

...

Because Sup Forums and /lgbt/ won't fuck off...

Because it's a video game.

THERES NO FUCKING GAMEPLAY NOT SKILL REQUIRED AT ALL, ITS A FUCKING BOOK

I really wish there was a separate board for visual novel garbage, it clutters up this board with so much Sup Forums shit, and they can get away with it because it's considered a "videogame"

I agree, OP
People love to joke about movie games but this is too far, specially when you have boards to take said discussion.
But no, we have to keep deleting threads randomly about VNs and h-games instead of banning them all or not banning at all (in case someone makes a good point to why they shouldn't be banned).

If they weren't games why can you play them on consoles?

>thinks Sup Forums is about vidya

I love how people will defend Visual Novels and shit on games with QTEs or cinemayic elements. It's just another example of how everyone on this board is so full of shit.

It's not our fault you don't know how to play videogames, user.

They're called video games because there isn't another word to describe shit like VNs or Gone Home or whatever.

More accurate terms like "interactive experiences" or "interactive stories" or something like that have been proposed, but I don't see them catching it.

>see interesting looking game on steam
>love cover art
>it's a fucking picture book

Why is this allowed?

Are you implying actual movies are games? Those can be played on the console as well.

I play VNs to see cute lesbians. There is no fucking gameplay besides pressing A and making 'decisions.' They're essentially books but with music and each time you turn a page you have to tap the book.

>lesbians

ftfy

Friend bought me some weeboo game on steam,cat chicks etc.Thought cool lets try it for fun(decisions,flirt options,picking right answers)Turned out it was same thing you mentioned.No interaction,just ONE choice in whole game.Dunno how that shit got past greenlight

Thanks for the early bird dose, doctor.

>implying the OP isn't just beinga shitter

You can't even discuss VN's on Sup Forums you little shit the threads get deleted even when they're some of the only decent threads in this shithole.
Blatant shitposting, consolewarfaggotry and worse are all OKAY, but don't you dare talk about video games.

First of all, VNs aren't vidya
Second, does it really matter that they are deleted when there is on up every hour?

>VNs aren't vidya

VNs have always been on a fuzzy line for people. Some consider them games, others don't.

They clearly aren't games.

>VNs kicked out of Sup Forums because not anime
>VNs kicked out of Sup Forums because not vidya
VNs kicked out of /lit/ because not books
VNs kicked out of Sup Forums because not technology
VNs kicked out of /jp/ because too popular
VNs kicked out of Sup Forums because not gay enough


We need a VN board. Fuck /jp/.

>judging a game by a steam thumbnail
Why is this allowed?

Maybe or maybe not.

Let me help you

It's kind of grandfathered in at this point. This is a weeaboo image board after all

>VNEETs use the verb """read"""

>still claim they're games

>Implying

Interactive porn also gets regularly discussed on Sup Forums. The mods here just suck cock
