I like them but they're not video games, much like this thread.

They're all right.

Depends.

They are not games.
Even their names entails that they are books.

Please gimmie sauce

sauce?

I can't read, I'm dyslexic

I enjoyed one visual novel once. It's german one. ;)
I like that girl btw

Posting best one.

but they are sold right next to 'games'.

If there's no porn I literally don't see the point.

I mean, fuck, do people actually waste their time going through an entire VN if they can't even jerk their gherkin at some point?

I can't read them, I'm black. I have to get my friend to dictate my posts.

They're good if I want lengthy porn to cater to a specific fetish like pic related

Aside from that if I wanted a good story with no interaction I'd read a book

So are movies music and some places books.

goosebumps choose your own scare books run the exact same shit but in text only. They ain't games either.

I like ones with cute boys in them

Game or VN is 'the Letter'

>cute boys
>posts furfag shit

hey

OWO

Here to claim and protect wanko, fuck off nerds

Is there lewd in this? Asking for a friend.

I started Muv Luv like a month ago and have only been able to put in about 4 hours, I'm a bit of time into the Lacross storyline at the festival.

I love dark stories and mecha but this first part is kind of dragging on because harem isn't my thing, does it get any better? Is it worth sticking to for Muv Luv Alternative?

Nice digits, who's the cutie?

Uta2 is pretty great. I'm just shy of 20 hours and I'm having a blast.

takes you 20 hours to read a book?
Visual Novels: A comic book that last longer than a paced reading of War and Peace.

that's how it always is, lacrosse is literally the worst and the draggiest part of it

i mean yes it gets better but at least try and roll with it, you're probably not going to enjoy it if you spend the whole first game expecting something else from it. you're gonna get a pile of goofy dumb anime bullshit and you're going to bloody well enjoy it first.

The game is a tactics game too. Also the game is 100% voiced, so I just let the dialogue go before I continue to the next scene.

Than it isn't a VN now is it?

can't stand self-insert based stories limited to decisions i would not make

just make it a story

But it is.

It is a VN at its core, Same as the first game.

see i can't handle that, I NEED to be the self insert. Otherwise i can't connect with the characters

>VN
>having a blast
How much of a fucking cuckold do you have to be to say you're having a blast when reading a VN?

VNs are one of the shittest mediums to exist.

Nope. Heavily story driven Tactics game.
A VN is simply nothing but Text on pictures with voices.
A motion Comic with out the motion.

Some visual novels like
For example can be 50 hours+

This thread isn't a video game?

Boring Lacrosse straight after amazing Initial D reference and fun conversation with Kei, feels bad man.

you need it
i don't
i want MY kind of decisions or none at all

i cried when i played (yeah played, kys if you say read) Katawa Shoujo

That's okay, user

How can you "play" katawa shoujo?
>cried for the shittiest weeaboo shit ever madr
>play weeaboo trash

there is a auto scroll button.
So he pressed play.

I know, right? if it helps you only really have to do one route and a bit. Sumika and Meiya are nearly identical until they branch off at like the very end so once you've done one you can skip through most of the other.

Kei's fucking great and her route introduces some characters that'll be important later but it also drags like fuck and has bullshit drama everywhere. Miki's is top tier goofy shit but is best saved for after everything. and nobody likes class prez.

i made decisions instead of just reading, that's interactive media

I cried during S;G and S;G 0. And I watched the anime so I knew what was gonna happen yet I still cried.

Yeah. and not all interactive media is a game.
See goosebumps books, changing tracks on a CD or ipod or whatever and the Final Destination DVDs.

VN's ain't games.
and one of those things that have actually gameplay in them are games and can't be considered VNs.

Listen to this guy, Muv Luv Extra is shit but it's 100% worth it for what comes after. Alternative is one of my personal favorite works of fiction I've ever experienced, but you have to read them in order. Shit picks up once you reach unlimited

...

wat, isn't this the horror vn. you get to sleep with that pretty lady. is she kill

They're alright.

Does this have h scenes?

Idk rapelay was pretty good

>those stubby little arms
don't fuck t rexs anons

Objectively best VN

Is this the Visual novel where a guy say Nigger ?

The character Luke says 'shit blacks' then admits to framing a 'black man' once, but I haven't seen them use that word yet no.

vns are not vidya

remember when vns weren't allowed on Sup Forums? of course none of you don't

Fuck off, retard.

>takes the time to bump a thread he doesn't like

Maybe they patched it? It was on Twitch fail compilation. He was saying "Nigger" around two ladies in front of the stairs. Cant find it right now.

>newfag Sup Forumsutist thinks i'm bumping this thread
go figure

Oh, nearly forgot I had this. I'm on Luke's chapter, is this worth finishing?

There is quite literally a thread with a trannies dick in the catalog and this is the thread you take issue with? The mods need to be fucking fixed first.

...

Isn't this the ending where she gets possessed and goes insane?

Luke's chapter everything hits the fan so yes its worth it, everything is lead to it.

It didn't end for me at that point, I dont believe that is an ending.

I consider them vidya as they do offer participants some form of agency in the outcomes.

>Tokimeki Checkin
I loved 90's era anime style by that one honestly wasn't great.
Nocturnal Illusion has better porn.
Critical Point has an actual story and was written by one of the original Gundam writers.

it will be deleted. visual novel cancer should never be allowed, but mods don't give a shit. all this anime cancer needs to fuck off. i have these retarded Sup Forumsutistic newfags trying to claim this site is all about anime. this shit was never ever fucking allowed on Sup Forums

>Thx 4 the bump bro.

Is Divi-Dead any good?
It's been on my backlog for a while

>Is Divi-Dead any good?
The start is kind of clusterfuck and sluggish, but it picks up quickly. Expect really lavish 16bit era art to go with your paranormal thriller.

thats me making her do that face

Thanks for letting us know

i really enjoyed summer saga

they're fine
they're better without the porn

Any good vns I should play. I feel like I'm having trouble finding new stuff. What I played in order from most liked to least liked. The rest I can't remember.

People can post with Sage.
Sage doesn't bump.
allows one to post and not force the thread back up to page 0.

I wish people would make up their minds what they want "VN" to mean.
Sometimes people use it like VN only means simple book-reading experiences with maybe a few choices, and other times people use "VN" as a synonym for "eroge" regardless of the genre (e.g. Rance RPGs), and sometimes people use it for misc things that clearly aren't novels, like stat-management scheduling sims like Princess Maker.
Like here's this guy bringing up Rapelay in a VN thread.

Imagine being so hopelessly pathetic that you make it your life's work to self moderate a board and proclaim yourself superior because of it.

They keep autistic losers from shooting up places. So all good by me.

A VN is nothing but a comic book with voices and choices.
Basically a choose your own adventure book if it was a comic book and on tape.

The ones that actually contain stuff like a tactics game in it like Rance and such are not VN. Those a full blown games. they just have a heavy emphasis on story. In short. VN's aren't games. As their name implies. They are Novels. Books.

Post vn girls you couldn't save.

It still hurts brehs

I like VNs that aren't fucking kawaii uguu fucking waifu dating bullshit. I like the shit where it's dark and foreboding and everybody fucking dies.

like what

They are games though

What game/VN am I looking at here?
Is it any good?

See vndb.org/d15 and vndb.org/d6

Then what is Phoenix Wright? Is it an adventure game? You pick up items and use them in a pre-determined scenario, in fact you don't even really make choices since the game is entirely linear. Is it a VN, or an adventure game? Keep in mind that many point and click adventure games have no gameplay outside of picking up items, using them, and dialogue. Are those games, or are they novels with a bit more effort? Many of them don't even have fail states, as you can't proceed without the correct item/combination.

Currently reading Dies Irae. Loving it so far, just finished Maries route. Almost everything was super hype but I feel like the last fight with Rein didn't live up to all the buildup. But I hear things get even nuttier so I have hope. Shirou best boy best everything.

Is the final destination DVD a game. No.
Is any of the Goosebumps choose your own scare books games? Nope.

>But you can get game overs.
You can get bad ends in the goosebumps books. Exact Same Shit.

A game. You find clues, do mini games, Present them in court correctly or not, have a chance to actually lose. and only one actual outcome to the story.
PW has a game to it. Your porn comic book having a "Didn't bang my waifu ending" isn't gameplay.

To the Moon is a good visual novel, marketed as a vidya.

it's a point-click game

if those dvds books were programs they would be games too

No. No they would not.

?

sauce?

Yes, they would

What's Steins;gate like? It's on sale right now
My only experience with VNs is ZE and DR so I'm kind of worried I won't be able to get into a hardcore VN
