So what does Sup Forums think of this girl?

Where is the remake?

If walking simulators are games, VNs are games.

They really aren't.

They aren't games if there isn't a gameplay component
Pressing space to turn a virtual page is to playing a video game as turning a physical page in a book is to playing a board game
If there is a choice system in the VN, it is as much a game as a cyoa book.
VNs belong on Sup Forums though imo.

How much money do you have set aside for the next kikestarter?

not sure if you're playing dumb but walking simulator is a title meant to distinguish them from games.

You can influence how the plot advances more in visual novels than in Mass Effect 3 for example.

Not really. Walking simulators are still games, they just have very limited depth in their gameplay.

VNs are walking sim levels of boring.

Sure, why not. It's just a terminologic tradition, the lines are pretty arbitrary, VN's share platform and parts of audience with other games, even some of the most basic structures. People who insist that they aren't game are actually just desperate to say "VN's are not what I personally want from games, but I'm a coward and I have to hide behind terminology".
Better question is: are VN's worth playing for most people. I think that is where you'll start to get into more difficult situation. As far as I am concerned, VN's are a terrible fucking medium, combining pretty much the worst of both interactive and non-interactive media.. Which isn't to say there aren't some interesting ones - rather that the interesting ones are good in spite of being VN's.

>If there is a choice system in the VN, it is as much a game as a cyoa book.
CYOA books are games, though. Not videogames, of course, unless there is a digital re-translation of one (such as the recent digital adoption of the Magic series).

And where the fuck did you get that impression. No, "Walking sim" is a game genre. Much maligned one, usually for good reasons. But nobody except for a couple of insecure freaks actually denies them this common label.

Are we also talking about walking simulators now?
Because this here is a pretty good one.

I wasn't ready

I felt fine until Kasumi appeared, then I lost it.

>Pussy out every time because I don't want to feel those feels again

;_;

Me except I've been wanting to do another read through for almost 2 years now

>fell in love with a girl since EXTRA
>they made a gory scene at the end especially for her
Shit made me sad as fuck because I thought my choices made her get picked, but then I was confused after finding out it was the same for everyone.

Hey guys have you played that hot new VN called Donkey Donkey Panic Club?
I heard it was what Nintendo originally considered doing for a new Mario game after Super Mario Bros

Outside of the trilogy, is there anything good for Muv-Luv that's been translated?

KimiNozo anime

well put desu

I pussy out because of the price.

$75 isn't that expensive for like 70ish hours of reading.

You’d have to be gay not to want to

That price and time is including Extra and Unlimited by the way.

It had a modern standard Vista remake released in 2008. Since then the staff has gotten worse and the cast has been alienated so that's the definitive version for sure.

Never forget

>it gets good after 60 hours

god thats more sad than thoughts fags who like romantic VN's

I like twizzlers

>youtube/dailymotion are videogames
pic related is you OP

who dont?

I'm more mad because I really liked her in Alternative and then that is what she ended up becoming.

That's what she already was. KimiNozo was released before Muv-Luv.

>giant humanoid mecha

Way to ruin an interesting premise.

and the other bitch was worse

There is nothing wrong with humanoid mecha other than personal preference.

Should've never drag her best friend's boyfriend to buy a birthday present when he's late on his date.

>tfw girl on the rogjt has tentacle rape scene

fuck

Hello again Haruka/Sumikafag.

Add Marika to the list.

I don't understand how the corpse even got there so fast so it could be paraded around.

but are you sure you can handle all that trash?

Finish the other routes or are you still crashing too much?

It gets really fucking good.

The anime is a mixed route for maximum drama representation.

Fucking retard

>Fucking retard
huh

and my shit coated toilet paper folded together is a picturebook

But the anime barely has Manami!

That's something beyond drama

worth it

I'm stalling KimiIta for Hoshi Ori in my backlog after it crashes several times in quick succession when playing through Michiru's route a few months ago. Maybe I'll pick it up again later.

No human being deserve getting Manami'd.

Except they aren't.

Recommend me some less dark VNs. I tried to give little busters a shit, but its too god damned stereotypical.

Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort

I can't believe I managed to go into Muv-Luv completely blind. My only preface for checking it out was seeing Alternative listed as the highest rated VN on vndb. I can't say I was expecting a romcom high school harem adventure to turn into what it did but holy fuck dude. It's probably something that'll stick with me for the rest of my life, that much I can say for sure.

but its trash user-senpai

Why would you go for a Key visual novel? It might not be dark, but their whole ass goal is to make you cry.

Only thing I knew going in was someone gets chomped but after going through Extra and Unlimited, it completely slipped my mind and completely forgot about it until the moment of truth. Also the only other thing I knew is that it goes from dating sim to alien mech stuff but I wouldn't say that's really a spoiler.

Little Busters is pretty unique though as far as these things go.
Some of the later stuff in it was pretty fucking cool.

Most VN has mandatory tweest plot or loldrama in it unless it's a fuckfest VN, so for lighter VN with small/no drama, either you pick that or Nekopara.

why are so many VN's so shit

also majiko is garbage

Learn Japanese

>learn a languages so i can read more shit

NO THANKS SENPAI

What are some good visual novels with intrigue as the driving appeal? I'm not necessarily talking the drama and happening of it all, I'm talking shit that makes you go "hmm" or "oooh" and keeps you hooked because you just want to keep finding out more about what's going on.

...

When is âge is going to release a big Muv-Luv game?

SubaHibi
Dies Irae

That's a whole lot of visual novel. This should keep me busy for a while.

Nice bait

>NTR ass description
>Pure love tag
Really makes me think.

>ai
>S;G
>fate
>majiko

>starter recommendations

What does having a VN as my favorite vidya say about me?

What's wrong with S;G as a starter recommendation? Other than the fact that a lot of other visual novels may end up seeming disappointing by comparison going forward, that is.

hell even the name reeks of it
>list updated
>no Chaos;Child even though Chaos;Head is on there

There is nothing wrong with Majikoi.

The description should have been memed more to hide what it is.

No idea what the guys problem is but S;G was my first true VN, true being one with little to no gameplay and I found it completely fine, albeit the beginning can be a slog for some people.

I assume he means that it's not something particularly great to get into the genre with because of how shitty it is to get to particular routes with the dmail mechanic, you pretty much have to use a guide to see everything. I don't think it's a particularly big deal though, the entire concept of "starter visual novels" is pretty fucking silly to me

i just think its overrated but nothing overly wrong

this is completely shit though

Ya buggin.

Yeah, these are pretty valid complaints. I wouldn't even dare try to go through it without a guide if you're shooting for the true ending.

What's your favorite VN, Sup Forums?

YumeMiru, even if it's not that good.

oh no

Who's the best Valkyrie, user?

For me it's Isumi or Munakata.
