Kindly use spoiler tags appropriately when discussing plot spoilers to facilitate smooth discussion.

Can we stop shitposting and talk about visual novels?
>>144670350
Sure let me know which one you want to talk about and I'll tell you why Swan Song is better
>>144670446
I guess Jouka was disappointing?
>>144670446
Is the translation of that good?

>>144671673
It's utterly fascinating how the same やり取り (back and forth for you EOPs) can continue for months upon months, perhaps even years at this point. You'd think people would get tired of repeating themselves in vain but that seems not to be the case.
>>144671808
Never reply to me again, JOP faggot.

Kimomen demo Harem Guild soon fellow neet
I like lolis.
>>144672071
So now that visual novels are dead what hobby should I pick up next /vn/?
>>144672071
Root Double is definitely a quality release.
I gotta wonder though, with all the Uchikoshi fags out there I thought RD would've received a lot more attention. It was the perfect VN to read before ZTD for me. And yes I know it's not an Uchikoshi VN.
>>144672992
>Root Double is definitely a quality release

>>144671808
the only thing in vain here are JOP attempts to invade /vn/

>Root Double is definitely a quality release.
lol wrong audience
>not liking Root Double
What is this meme
>>144673442
Root Double is pretty meh after the A route tbqh
>>144673442
Everything's black or white with these fags.
/vn/
I'm almost there. Over 2 pages of saves and I've finally neared the last part of Starless.
Problem is I can't find the will to play it. The sex sounds and BGM are haunting my dreams and all the /d/ tier stuff that I could get off to early in the game has become repulsing.
I also checked the flowchart and realized I'm on my way to the bad ending.
They should split /vn/ and create another general just for all ages desu. I don't like sharing room with these degenerates.
>>144673442
It should've been half its length
Definitely the worst VN I finished in 2016 so far

>>144673796
So you only played Root Double in 2016?
>>144673628
I actually really enjoyed the B route, but I loved Salyu and Mashiro so that might be why.
>>144674131
That seems to be the implication
>>144673793
yeah, i don't like these all-ages fags too
>>144673793
Just go to hgg
>>144674131
No.
>>144673750
Which bad end? If I remember correctly, a lot of the routes have overlap minus a few scenes.
>>144674124
Well fuck, I definitely did not get this scene.
>>144674382
but hgg is infested with JOPs and their games require too much effort to play, unlike VNs
>>144674416
What the fuck happened there

>>144670594
No it was good and I love fast paced things but there were a few flaws besides it being way too short. It brings up the argument about security/order vs freedom/emotions but he did that a lot better in psychopass. The gun kata thing with the specific impossible measurements and reaction times was a turn off, way too anime for me. A huge plus was the ending, but even that was also strikingly similar to Saya no Uta. All in all it felt like he couldn't decide if he wanted to make a sweet action VN or something pretty deep, and compromised.
For something to be the best to me has to have a message I can think about for a while and Swan Song had a lot of human themes strewn throughout. Plus the ending was perfect. Second ''''''''''true''''''' ending is obviously way worse but can still be appreciated for what it TRIED to do.
I don't search out VNs for a message or deep meaning obviously but it's a nice bonus and I was impressed that something like Swan Song was possible for a jap porn game
>>144670951
I'm not the one to ask. It's definitely readable.
>>144671228
Why?
>>144672250
Tokyo Babel was pretty good if you look at it from a theology standpoint. Pretty accurate representations and even some philosophy thrown in. Action scenes sucked but whatever, they usually do. Also no H scenes is a huge negative. If you don't like mythology and stuff I can totally understand people hating it.
>>144673442
I don't like mystery novels, because they're usually asspulls.
>>144673442
It's just a shittier 999
>>144674672
no, i'm talking about the bullshit grind, most of them are RPGs, i'd rather progress through the story by a single click than using my two hands for hours just to get to the next scene
i went there before multiple times and i got told to fuck off always, so i did, they're not friendly and i don't think i'll ever go back there again, just let it die, it's all cancer in there, fucking JOPs i swear
>>144675049
so you got bullied
toughen up, princess.
>>144675049
you don't get any (You)s there and they won't answer your question properly, /vn/ is heaven compared to that shithole
>>144675218
A heaven of bait posting and people being spoonfed?
>>144675186
>>144675341
bullied? no i wasn't, i was fucking sneered on, being called a newfag for just asking questions there and they told me to fuck off and learn Japanese and buy their shit products, they're not welcoming in any way, they can go die, idc
>>144674519
/hgg/ goer here. It only looks like people are JOPs. In truth, you've got 2-3 guys making a couple EOP shitposts at times, and EVERYONE ELSE is machine translating, seriously. Literally every time I've got into a discussion with someone about a game, no matter how well informed they seemed, they were machine translating. Nothin' against them of course, it's just a face. In /hgg/, machine translation is accepted and the norm. On /vn/, if you ask if a game has a TL everyone laughs at you. On /hgg/, they'll ask why it matters because you can just MT.
>>144675623
that's hilarious. you sound like a total bitch.
>>144671808
That's because the faggots shitposting came in december all at once for some reason
Alright /vn/
Would you?
>>144675696
yeah i was asking for links of the translated games because the ones on their OP is all dead, i was just told to fuck off, how rude...
so i manually went searching for them in hongfire to no avail,
so i moved on asked them where to get RTP and RPGmaker shit, planning to download the games later, but they just even got more autistic, fuck them desu

I didn't have much to say to defend Jouka. I fucking loved Gun-kata so I felt we just had a gap between us that could never be crossed
>>144676813
Have we heard anything else about this being released? I haven't been following it much, but I last remember them saying they were finishing up editing, and that was last year.
>>144677062
If you want actual meaningful VN discussion go to /jp/. That's all I got for you kid, heh...

What else?
>>144677315
You don't need to defend it, I really enjoyed Jouka. I was just saying why it wasn't better than Swan Song to me. You could offer what you liked it about it or something. I dunno I just wish this general would not be so negative and low-effort.
>>144677387
But they only have untranslated VNs allowed. I used to discuss there but now I bring up something translated and they sperg out

Clearly, there's nothing wrong with them. At least I don't play all-ages kusoge.

>>144673962
>Can she be any more perfect?
Yeah. She could be Yuuri.
Out of curiosity, how long's the common route in Rewrite compared to the individual routes? I mean on average, about the same length?
>>144679150
But Mashiro is better than Yuuri.
>>144679150
How can yuuri be perfect ifshe didn't commit the perfect crime?
>>144679197
Common route is the bulk of the game for sure, either way. Collectively they may equal it but individually are significantly shorter.
>>144679143
Now you're learning

>>144679401
Thanks. Have a magic trick for your trouble.
>>144671808
A large portion of the regulars here may have began learning Japanese due to the following reasons:
-New Year's resolution
-Lack of English releases
-JOPs extolling the virtues of learning Japanese
-Increasing censorship in new releases
Of course, some EOPs are salty that people are choosing to become JOPs, so they naturally shitpost like hell.

And here we have three angry EOPs shitposting as usual.
Reminder that JOPs make up nearly half the population of this general.
>>144680240
Obviously not. It just registers that the IP count goes up if someone new posts in the thread.

I don't remember if it's in vanilla 4chan, but with X you have a number between parentheses right after any new poster (as in, post from a new IP)'s name.

Does /vn/ like moege?
>>144683980
No.
>>144683980
Yes.
>>144683980
no, we love all ages only
What is the difference between /VN/ and /HGG/?
>>144684103
/hgg/ discuses porn games which are not novels such as Custom Maid 3D 2
Furthermore, /hgg/ openly discusses untranslated nukige, whereas ideally speaking only translated nukige are discussed here.
>>144683980
I love moege.
>>144684103
We are refined gentlemen who don't feel the need to give in to carnal desire. Which means, we only tolerate games that are appropriate for an all-ages audience.
>>144684103
/hgg/ is full of patricians who realize the main thing VNs have going for them is the porn while /vn/ is full of fedora tippers who want """""story"""""" in their VNs.
>>144684210
>>144684092
This all ages meme needs to stop

>>144683309
lol, fuck you too bro, Korean is beautiful
>>144684370
I don't know if the others are memeing but I couldn't give two shits about porn in VNs.
>>144683980
Love it. Cutesy lighthearted shit with romance is good for the soul.
>>144679923
it's true for me though, I have started going to the DJT in /a/ and started learning Japanese a few months ago.
I can only read manga for now, but it's worth.
>>144684646
>I read visual novels for the plot
>>144684732
Yeah I do. And the fact that it bothers so many of you horny teen fucks with no standards only encourages me to keep doing so.

What the fuck else would I read for?

Why would you read visual novels for the story when there are books you can read with a million times more engaging writing and characters?
>>144684857
*tips respectfully towards you*
Well said my fellow gentleman and scholar.
>>144684964
>books
It's fucking 2016, books are ridiculously obsolete
>>144684964
>books
>engaging writing and characters
Even Tokyo Babel is better than any book.
>>144684916
If you read visual novels for the plot you're dumb and most likely have ADD as you obviously need audio and visual cues to enjoy a story. You can pick up a book and find much better stories.
>not reading VNs for the gameplay
>>144684964
1 - Many VNs have stories of equivalent quality to written books
2 - I like the writing style (dialogue focused, "real" books especially in Japanese have an enormous amount of narration)
3 - Show me a book that provides an experience similar to : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NCsaVVmMaA
Even if you're trolling I'd like to participate in this discussion.
what's a VN with loads of regular choices to make and a huge branching plotmultiple waifus to fug a bonus but not a necessity
>>144685281
YU-NO?
I read moege for the plot. Does anyone else do this?
>>144685278
>Many VNs have stories of equivalent quality to written books
Yes, equivalent to the bottom-tier written books, perhaps. Visual novels cannot even touch the higher echelons of literature.
>I like the writing style (dialogue focused, "real" books especially in Japanese have an enormous amount of narration)
So basically you have ADD. Got it.
>>144685281
A huge branching plot inevitably leads to extremely short branches. You may think you want it but you don't. They pretty don't exist anyway, they end up like >>144685406 - many choices but really just 4-5 routes.
Loads of regular choices are pretty nice though. They lead to the same end but they add spice to one's reading. Tsukihime/Fate and Clannad are pretty good about this.

>>144685967
/lit/ doesn't know Japanese so they can't really judge VNs well. That said /lit/ has frequent threads for genre fiction so ultimately a portion of the board likes this general level of writing as well.
