DAILY REMINDER THAT VNs ARE SHIT
why are you reading translated crap or learning japanese to read terribly written pornbooks when you could,say, read real (and interesting) novels?

>>145177353
Real talk here, I read books but the Western world can't write books anymore. Or rather, the publishing industry is very corrupt. 21st century fiction is usually loaded with the authors political views, SJW-ism and just generally plainly bad books with shallow mainstream appeal, or rather, that's the only ones that are allowed to get published. See the disaster that was Hugo awards. So yeah, if you want to read books your only options are older ones.
This problem doesn't really exist with contemporary Japanese fiction, especially since VN/LN are fairly niche. Cool stuff is coming out every year, authors are allowed to get creative etc etc. That's the real thing I like about them. Not really related to your argument, but I kind of wanted to get this off for some time now.

>tfw reading Maximum Ride as a kid and eventually the books started focusing entirely on fighting global warming
Hello everyone, is this the right place to ask how I finish this game? I've unlocked all the memories, how the hell do I get to the end?
I just want to beat the stupid game so that I can come back and jack off to it later without my autism triggering me. I mean I already fapped to it once, but that was just a test run.
Has anyone finished Fata Morgana? What is everyone's thoughts on it?
I think the music in this game is atrocious. It's so distracting with all the singing and shit and they always capitalise "You" it's annoying as hell.
>>145178385
I wholeheartedly agree with your statement of recent Western novel being trash.
But I don't see why you wouldn't read "older" novels (20th century already has a lot of amazing sci-fi and fantasy titles).
I understand that you haven't replied directly to my argument but still, there is so much good old stuff to read that you could die and still have a gigantic backlog.
>>145178610
>I think the music in this game is atrocious
now I am fucking triggered
give me your home address I'll duff you up real hard
>>145178610
I played the first 10 minutes and the art was disgusting so I uninstalled it

try listening to this garbage on loop and then you can duff me up if you have the strength left
>>145178939
Does the art matter? You are reading a novel, not like you are going to fap to it since it's all ages.
>>145179310
but it's not garbage you piece of shit I hope your mother get raped by three starving niggers for claiming such nonsense
>>145179695
I bet you listen to Spooky Candy Theater you lame bitch
Let's make /vn/ a Yuuritopia!
>>145179328
Art is important because I might as well read a real book. The art is too weird and not in a good way
>>145179775
I don't know what is worse between listening to a lame band and being spawned by a fat smelling bitch who will get cancer and rot away like a piece of shit

>>145178549
IT'S NEVER OVER.
>>145180232
Yeah, I meant it's too weird for me. I looked up the artist and he's actually quite skilled. I wonder why he didn't make the game look half as nice as this pic
>>145180520
>>145180232
>there are less people liking it than the opposite though you are the problem
>>145179310
Is that seriously part of the game? They should never have vocals in a VN because it'll interfere with the reading.

You have shit taste my friend if all the songs sound like that.

It loops and the scene is long too and makes it really hard to concentrate.

>>145186363
is there any plans for a concrete ending or is the game considered to be finished?
>>145186539
So you mean best right?
>>145186546
I think the game is still in production and I doubt the dev will leave the game without an ending on release.
Dawwww this is too much.
Her voice is so lovely and moments like these are so heartwarming.
>>145187472
Chiho is a lovely girl with a terrible route.
One of the cutest moments in PE
>>145187839
Agree.
>>145188016
Rise one was better.
>>145187839
Why are childhood friend routes almost always the shittiest?
Those 2D girls deserve better.
>>145188302
Chiho found hers. She was saving herself for Masaya, and in the end it worked out.
>>145188302
Yume was best route though
>>145189232
Maybe it's because I'm EOP and haven't read EH but Yume was no exception.MAGICAL MOM POWERS YO

>>145194052
If he doesn't want a love story, then he should try a LOVE story like Undertale.

There are better VN's with good "love" story.

So, basically, a VN about a guy doing things with his manly friends but no homo, right?
>>145197724
thanks for the rec
>>145201430
he just said not "woman orientated". desu I know his feels. Even plotge vns seem to revolve around women more often than not, routes are structured around them. its kind of obnoxious if you don't care about them.
>>145202084
I know, I translated that as "no women" as in "no women who have any kind of relevance in the scenario"
>>145202681

I even drew out all the choices to make sure I didn't miss anything. Where did I went wrong /vn/?
>>145205031
You have to close the game
>>145205031
Honestly, I'd just grab a 100% save at this point.
>>145205031
how is asagi compared to yukikaze
>>145205210
I already did, every single choice is greyed out. Help me senpai.
>>145205443
Asagi - Mostly focused on violent/rough treatment of the girls, tentacles, pretty hardcore stuff.
Yukikaze - focused on corruption and mindbreak, most sex is just a fat old man or a customer making the girl feel so good her morals fade and she gets addicted.
Are there any VNs where you have to do something really meta like turn off a character's voice in order to proceed through into route or something like that?
>>145206637
Ikikoi
>tfw you end up falling for crazy mass murderer
I'm on Episode 4 of Umineko, and I don't know if I can take this pacing anymore.
I love the mystery aspect of it. I love the interaction between Battler and Beatrice. I love theorizing how it could have been done and seeing how my theories hold up. I love the way it seems to close up every possibility of a mundane explanation until suddenly something clicks that opens a hole in this seemingly impenetrable mystery.
But the supernatural scenes and future crap feel like such slog to get through. The supernatural scenes go on for way too long, and I have to believe that they're just fake shit trying to misdirect me, because what's the point of ANY of this game if I'm going to accept magic is real? So what's the point to even reading them? And the future stuff feels so disconnected from the rest of the game, I can't bring myself to feel interested in it. I just feel like taping down CTRL during the parts where Ange is getting bullied and being delusional, because none of it feels like matters to the rest of the story.
And now right when things are getting interesting again, Battler breaks down and it cuts to another damn future scene. I feel strongly tempted to just delete the game and look up the summary on a wiki. I like the content, but the piecemeal delivery is frustrating me beyond belief.
What do I do, /vn/? Can anyone say something to convince me it's worth it to keep going? Or is it something where if I'm not enjoying those parts, I should just give up and accept this isn't for me?
>>145206637
Wish there were some other meat VNs like the one where a character starts talking to the player and kills the MC when you don't do her route.
>>145208513
Shame that's the only good part of that VN. Or at least that's what /vn/ told me.
>>145208427
You're at the best part of it, and it's only gonna get much worse.
>>145208427
A good chunk of Episode 4 is pretty shit, there's a reason there are a lot of memes about Ange and how she and her scenes generally bring down that episode.
You have arguably two more good episodes after 4 (5 and 6. Though 6 is where things start to go downhill). 5 is one of the best, if not the best. Unfortunately 7 and 8 are complete garbage. Judging by what you're saying you would probably absolutely be livid with Episode 7 in particular--which is really just hours and hours of info dumping (really good tea party, though). You're especially going to hate those last two episodes based on:
>and seeing how my theories hold up
I won't spoil anything, but just be prepared to have any hopes you had completely crushed.
So it's really just up to you whether or not you should continue reading. I invested over a hundred hours into Umineko and even though I enjoyed a lot of those hours, the last two episodes really ruined everything for me and it left a severely bitter taste in my mouth. Some people are more accomdating to those last two episodes, so I just suppose it's up to you whether or not you should continue.
>>145203129
Too late chump
>>145208427
After 5 it's all down hill, mate. It's a pity but that's how it is.
>>145209038
This makes me feel a little better knowing other people find Ange's bits boring. I guess I'll try continuing to at least episode 5 then. Still, with all these flaws, I have to wonder why I keep hearing such high praise for Umineko. A lot of people I see call it the best VN ever, but it feels like it could seriously use an editor.
>>145211183
It has its strong points but it is far more 'fun' than it is 'good', and one of the biggest problems is, as you say, its length. It takes an enormous amount of time to properly convey anything. I imagine most of the people who love Umineko overall focus on the emotional ride you get from it. It does have quite a bit of pathos, and it's easy to coincide emotional profundity with actual quality. This is especially apparent in the latter episodes where if you spend any amount of time thinking about the plot it basically falls apart. This focus on the emotional ("Without love it cannot be seen, etc.) is ultimately what the writer ends up rolling with and using to excuse any plot points left unclear. There are so many unfired chekhov's guns at the end of the story that it's insane.
>>145211183
I have no idea why G-Senjou is so highly regarded for similar reasons. It's hot garbage after the tweest.
Is Otomaid at Cafe actually any good?
I downloaded it seeing as it's the only trap VN I've seen mentioned, but I'm hesitant to play through a shit VN.
With what I've played of it so far it's a bit shit.
>>145212760
When you put it like that, I feel like I might have been approaching it wrong. I've been so focused on the mystery aspect I view all the characters with suspicion since any one of them could turn out to be a horrible murderer. I haven't really trusted any information not observed by Battler because it could all be misdirection from an unreliable narrator.
Maybe I'll back off a little from my stance of "Everyone except Shannon deserves to die". Though they're all still kind of idiots or terrible people in their own right. And Rosa and Kinzo still deserve to die at least.
>>145214121
I'm pretty sure you should be playing something like that for the porn and not the plot.
>>145214259
Ok. Stop replying to me now.
>>145214321
Funnily enough I am. Is the porn any good though?
>>145214259
To be fair, if I was Rosa, I'd abuse Maria too.
Why is Shannon exempt from suspicion?
>>145214259
Erm, well 1-4 are most certainly drenched in the mystery elements. One of the big reasons that 5-8 are so polarizing to people is because it drops a lot of that.
Which one guys?
>>145215563
Mare.
>>145214975
Episode 5 is the best mystery in the series though. And the best episode.
>>145215563
Mokomoko.
>>145215815
Five is alright. It's all downhill from there though.
>>145216080
Six has the LOGIC ERROR, which is fantastic, but outside of that, and Erika, it's pretty shit
Seven is just downright boring outside of the Tea Party.
Eight has the pirate hat.

Let's make /vn/ a Yuritopia!
>>145229774
The fact that you weebs mix words like that is what makes you cringeworthy and disgusting apart from your weird cosplays and shit. You don't see Japanese or Chinese gooks mix words with English out of randomness, so don't.
How many people here are actively learning Japanese?
>>145230095
>You don't see Japanese or Chinese gooks mix words with English out of randomness, so don't.

>>145240185
Yeah and it seems I've played more than I thought. How long does it take to learn japanese for nukiges? I can read the letters but gave up when I saw how autistic kanji was
>>145240352
Good enough? About a year
Real good? About two years
>>145240352
Not very. Nukige are easy since they rarely use many difficult kanji.
School days or Shiny Days
>>145241846
Neither

Wow do I really need a virtual machine to hear the sex noises/BGM for these old ass games? (Serve you 4, pheremone)

>>145240741
I think it's reverse. Nukige is usually harder.
>>145241846
They're both awful. Shiny Days a little less since Makoto gets a lot less screentime there.
>>145242194
What? No. You just need to replace a file in the windows folder with an older version.
>>145242538

This is almost correct. France is good for one thing; music.

>>145247687
Nah, it's just that they refuse to let you alter anything in the windows system even if you go through the hoops to give yourself ownership/ admin rights.
It's just retarded. I know the exact files I need to replace but it just refuses

Even during the 20th century, I can count the good french composers with my 2 hands.
>>145247892
I quite like french bread to be honest.
>>145248013
There are a lot of good performers from France as well, not just composers. Besides which, even if the French only had Ravel, Debussy, Ramaeu, and Berlioz, they would still be worth mentioning as a nation of great composers, since all four of those had tremendous influence.
>>145247994
3D girls are disgusting, though.
>>145247892
The only things I can recall that ever are relevant with France are white flags, culinary training, and MSF.

Nice meme.
I hate it so fucking much when they hide a girl behind a route. And it's always the ones I even decided to give the vn a chance. And what is it with the developers and putting all the best girls as bloody side characters? Jesus fucking christ get it together.

So they can sell you the fan disc.
I finished root double.I waited for so long but Yuuri didn't kill anyone, and now I'm disappointed, I kind of hate all of you. Now someone let me in on this meme because I'm a little underwhelmed by the things that actually happened.
