Why not? Also 2 of those are actual games.

VN culture is steeped in piracy. These kinds of prices are pollyannish at best.

That's because VN fans are retards.

>dangan ronpa

>that loli
I bet her cunny must taste delicious. Do you get to see her naked or rape her?

sorry but I'm only a Jew when the vn is bad/unreasonably expensive.

buy both games and find out

Only time I bought a VN was when humble bundle did a promo for a bunch of them. Got $150 worth of vidya for $15.
feels good

Since it's this kind of thread; is Euphoria's mystery story good or should it be only played for the bloody shit sex parts?

Not really.

You better not be trolling me. I WANT TO TASTE HER CUNNY.

Play it for the story, yeah. It's 15 hours long anyway.

But poopoo is yucky

Would you believe me if I told you some people are paid to shitpost?

Yet the true end is yummy.

...

Damnit user, stop tempting me.

Coming from someone that's never played it, what gameplay elements are there in the game? Every video / SS I've seen of it are just some totally-not-persona characters talking to some weird looking bear / television.

It's ace attorney on crack, dude.

This video is full of spoilers you hack.

dubfags can rot in hell

it's like ace attorney but with a god tier story,japanese school girls and a bunch of minigames for trials
don't watch any videos like
since it's really easy to get spoiled on who the killer is avoid all threads and media
porn will also probably spoil it so avoid that too

I have a few physical copies of visual novels.

>mfw I miised the entire sale so no Danganronpa 2
>youtube recommending me shit trying to spoil me
FUCKING

Class Trial is a series of discussions and mini-games, held after a student has been murdered. It is up to the remaining students to discuss the crime, make logical conclusions, and discover the Blackened - the student who committed the murder. The class trial ends with a majority vote for who the students believe the Blackened is.

reminder

Nope.

I bought stein gates in the sale. Are you triggered yet ?

it's a song from dangan ronpa 1

I know it is, but motherfucking Youtube is just like "HEY BRO YOU LIKE DANGANRONPA? HERE'S A VIDEO OF ALL THE EXECUTIONS IN THE SERIES!? BRO LOOK DR3 CHARACTERS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN!"

The retards on Sup Forums do it to own inferior/censored versions of old VNs on Steam.

all the DR3 characters are in the trailer
i see those on my suggestions too but the thumbnail doesn't spoil much
but there was ONE video that kind of spoiled a thing in DR2
DR3 is coming to PC in September

>VN culture is steeped in piracy.

This is true, and it's created a damaging mentality around the medium, similar to that of porn, that paying for them is stupid. There are development teams behind those games, many times without extensive resources, just like behind any other video game.

Some people forget that VNs are full price in Japan, and that we get them considerably discounted, and most of the times with mosaics removed.

Of course, there are VNs worth paying for, and there's shit worth paying a little less for, like some of the ones in OPs pic.

>english dub

>nobody pays for them
>no more VN being developed
I mean it's a good thing right?

Thing is, because the majority of VNs have little to no gameplay elements, the only reason you would play them is the plot. People don't want to pay $60 for some book they might not even enjoy

i bought the VN humble bundle, installed one of them on steam, and now steam considers me a fucking weaboo and half of my recommendations is some anime crapware

Most of them are in the $20-40 range I'd say.

Same. Had to make my profile private and can only play them while offline so my friends on steam don't discover i'm a complete trash human

>do people actually pay for books?
yes they do

I bought a copy of Steins;Gate for PS3 and pirated the PC version because it's better

Kinda want to get Chaos;Head when it comes out on PS4 later this year.

Cucks.

it's good but you'll have to put up with some annoyances such as characters being unable to see obvious conclusions so you have to spoon feed them.

>SonyCuck is a filthy pirate
Color me surprised.

Tell them, Naegi

I do. I enjoy them very much.

>books
Books get vetted by editors and publishers. VNs are fanfic webnovels at best.

$40 for a book that's not even 15 hours long is too much.

> Not being filled with shame and regret every single waking moment of your life.

Also, (You)

It's not a book. Your average novel doesn't have animated visuals, sprite/background artists, music, sound and professional voice acting. The production costs are nowhere near enough to that of a book. And your average book doesn't take you anywhere near 15 hours to read.

>posting worst girl
(You)

Only to profit off of the steam anime market

I guess so.

I made one for steam and made $8k off of it in two weeks. Super easy to cash in on weaboo idiots

my friends keep gifting me those cheap visual novels because they know I dont like chinese cartoons

jokes on them though, i never turn down anything thats free

Production values are irrelevant to the consumer. Many VNs on Steam don't even have animated visuals, voice acting, or good translations.

AAA games have astronomical production and marketing costs, but I won't pay $60 for 12 hours of gameplay either.

What's your game?

Only the good ones.

She's second best girl right after Kobayashi

Yes.

I bought Highway Blossoms and it was unironically beautiful enough to make me cry more than once. I would've paid more than I did desu

hey

Daily reminder that you literally let Satoru out of 2D world to wreck massacre in our realm.

Faggot. Best girl is Kanna.

Just telling you why some of them have the price they have. I wouldn't pay $40 for a VN, but I don't pay that for video games either.

Also AAA games are meant to sell millions, VNs thousands if you're very lucky.

Kanna is such bait it's unbelievable.
Atleast Kobayashi can take care of her own.

>tfw you reject 2D

ASCENDED

food in the bombs?

Only VN I would pay is monster girl gamu.

If it ever gets released.

I don't know what's wrong with me, I spend more time reading Visual Novels then I do games with actual gameplay.

>VN culture is steeped in piracy.
One of the major reasons for that is because until recently, most weren't released outside of Japan so the only way for many people to get them was through fan translation patches. Now that people are starting the release official translations in the west, there's a huge uphill hurdle to get people to buy what they're used to getting for free.

>tfw Baldr Sky is coming West
This is literally Infinity: Mecha Edition, I wish they would translate Baldr Force any time soon before BS.

ofc weebs pay for any shit thats anime

Then don't get those ones? Some VNs easily span 50-60 hours. Though as a long time reader of VNs I came from the age of free fan translations so it's hard for me to purchase them as my mind is set in stone. I might someday.

>at first think satoru's faggot plan failed since obviously he couldn't switch places with the player
>then I remembered11 that during the game self was completely convinced that he was satoru by having the memories of watashi transferred into him
>mfw yukidoh satoru stole my fucking memories and delusionally believes he is me shitposting on Sup Forums

g-guys, who am I?

are you sure about that

You are being written on a terabyte disk right now, goodbye.

I pay for Danganronpa

Yes, actually. To the naked part, at least.

The only things I pay for are food, rent and utilities. Everything else is piratable.
