Just played the KARAKARA demo.
I liked most of it, the setting and music were good. I didn't like the sprites very much, but I can get used to it.

This.
If I read it early I can already tell the h-scenes are going to be a terrible experience for me when they do come out. I want to read the complete version for full immersion
Therefore I'm probably going to leave this place when it comes out because all-ages and I don't want to get spoiled while I wait for the real game.

Alright /vn/, I require your assistance in my scientific research. Please tell me your favorite VN, and your most hated/disliked VN. Reasons why you like and hate them would be appreciated.
>>145620225
>mfw people don't use the spacebar to advance text
>>145623776
The problem with spacebar is that not every VN binds it to advance text, sometimes it hides text or does fuck nothing. Same thing with the direction arrows which are the objectively best way to advance text since you can use them to advance and check the backlog.
>>145624004
I must not play enough VN's, because I've never had that issue. Everything I've played/read just advances the text with Space, fastforwards with Ctrl, and arrows/scroll let you view the log.
>>145623776
Favorite: Baldr Sky
Least favorite out of those I have actually finished: GSen and Hello Lady
GSen for reasons that have been gone over repeatedly and Hello Lady because it was overrated chuunishit, had a fucking stupid ending, and was a predictable revenge story (hurr durr revenge doesn't pay who knew) trying to use pretentious hamlet references to pretend that knowing you're a cliche makes it okay to be a cliche.
Obviously there's lots of games that I didn't finish that are worse than both of those but they are just boring moege so there isn't anything to say there
>>145623776
SnU - Excellent quality for it's length.
Umineko - Ryukishi needs to get an editor who isn't dead.

>tfw stupid EOP
wat do?
Just finished all the Euphoria routes. Kept holding out hope that one route would be better than rest. Saved the true route for last since it was supposed to be best. Almost as disappointing as the ending of Fallout 4. What a waste of time. I wish I had those 2 days back.
>>145622059
Probably go with Sengoku Rance, just because the sheer quantity of girls. One is always bound to be cuter than some other game, no matter what your tastes. I mean, there's at least 50 different girls with art.

favorite:

God-tier art and music made an otherwise unnotable melodrama stand out
Other popular novels like the ones by Stephen King have many sad deaths, but ef gave me a bigger emotional reaction than any of the other deaths

>>145632934
>ef - a fairy tale of the two
>God-tier [...] music
I have a few songs from the soundtrack in my library. What makes that unique, is it's the ONLY VN music I have in my 2500-strong music library after clearing over 100 VNs. I don't why. It was just a damn good soundtrack.
>>145620225
Clicking is too noisy
>>145623776
Demonbane: it's good
Saya no Uta: it's shit
>>145623776
Favorite: Osananajimi wa Daitouryou. And I realize how retarded this sounds, but hear me out. It's not exactly high-art or a soul-shattering experience. But it is flawless in its execution of what it's supposed to be - a fun, fluffy slice-of-life piece. The art, music, story, characters (and character-realism), routes, humor, writing, choices, everything. It nailed everything perfectly. It is a template on how to make make that style of VN. The entire time I was going through it, I felt like I was having a blast. It blows every other VN of the same catagory out of the water. I expect and bow to critism for that choice. I won't argue. It's just my opinion, and I prefer VNs of that kind so I'm biased.
Least Favorite: Yume Miru Kusuri
Why: It tried to force you to feel emotion, but it did it so unrealistically that it was insulting. Like the girl that was being bullied and gangraped and none of the teachers or authorities wanted to get involved because the students were scary. Even then, no one notices the gang rape on the roof (complete with weapons) or criminal-level bullying and assault. Stuff of the sort. It was all so exaggerated. Absolute shit writing. You don't need a story to be realistic, but you do need the characters to act and react like a normal human would. If a school faculty isn't intervening on a gang rape, you need a better reason then "they were scared" because that is not believable and tanks the entire plot. This game made me angry because I wanted it to be good. It just pissed me off that it was so terribly written.

>>145634787
>Clicking is too noisy
A lot of VNs will let you use the wheel-scroll-down instead of clicking, which is very nice for that problem. You could even use AHK to make all VN's do it, but that's another thread. I have a really loud mouse I keep in the bedroom for my laptop that is annoying. My living room mouse is nice and quiet.
>>145623776

Least Favorite: either YMK or Euphoria
>>145623776

>>145635369
>>145635564
lol bad taste
>>145635564
>MLA
I finished that like 2 years ago and I am still torn on whether or not I liked it. Some of it was really awesome, like the first time the protag went through the academy after already knowing everything and just tore it up like a madman and the trips back to his home world. That was a lot of fun.
But other times, I swear I was mentally checking my watch to see how long it had been. Like at the very end, at the climax of the action when speed was of the essence and everything was going to shit, the characters decide to stop and talk to the core for like 45 minutes while at the same time being impaled against a wall. Everytime you thought they were done, they'd start talking again like a pastor in church on easter.
>>145635797
>lol bad taste
or, you know, people liking different things. don't worry yourself over it. if we were all meant to be the same, the question of favorite/least favorite would never have been asked.
i bet your selections are just as shitty to us. but we're wrong, right?
>>145636128
Lol shit taste
What is Maitetsu about?
>>145635975
I normally judge stuff by how much they manage to keep my interest. MLA had me glued to my screen for 3 days and I was a soulless husk by the end of it. That's why it is my favorite.
YMK on the other hand I had to force myself to keep reading because I literally couldn't give a single fuck about the characters and everything they did was absolutely retarded. Also imouto didn't have a route which felt like wasted potential.
>>145623776
Favorite - Tsukihime
Least favorite - G-Senjou

>You’ll also have to deal with knowing that the vast majority of people who read visual novels in English don’t have the level of reading comprehension or education necessary to really start to approach interpreting and understanding SubaHibi on anything but a surface level, so your efforts in translating it will be mostly wasted. The amount of effort you’d have to put into translating SubaHibi isn’t really worth the payoff in other words.

If I had a Saber, so help me god, I would visit such unholiness upon her anus that you would never shit again out of sheer sympathy. As I took great handfuls of her peachy white cheeks in my hands, satan himself would begin to weep with joy. He knows that the sin I am about to commit will damn every soul in existence, that the profane, wet noises alone will stain the universe with its echoes, that the sight of my face buried in her will scorch the eyes of god himself.

>>145635369
I can get behind that. I also loved osadai. Regarding YMK the teachers detachment was just an example of their lack of intervening which is prevalent in RL. My problem with that VN was the pacing which was fucking all over the place , and how detached the MC felt from the rest of the world.
>>145635369
Osadai was like the third or something VN I read and all I remember is that god-awful nee san route where she dressed up like a superhero over and over. It stains my memory of the whole game, it's literally all I remember except something about a panda.
>>145655565

My few friends in real life are complete normies to the point of having jobs, girlfriends and they don't even play games or anything. Wouldn't even bring up the topic of eroge to any of them.
I could understand discussing eroge with internet buddies though, but I even have less friends on the internet for some reason.
>>145664375
Most of my 'friends' that I have in my immediate area are mostly just circumstantial friends via university or work.
I consider my friends that I have online to be truer 'friends' than them, honestly. And that's whom I was referring to in >>145664107
I likewise would never bring up eroge around normies, ever.
>>145664375
>having a job is considered to be normie
>>145664202
Wait, doesn't one of those two help the protagonist to rape the other?
>>145664312
That's mainly due to anonymity. If you're a sleuth like me who's mentally categorized repeat posters, then death would definitely be something to blink in surprise and even sorrow at.

My friend calls me a pedo for liking moe ;_;
>>145664572
maybe I should've said respectable jobs.
I have a job but it's a shitty dead end minimum wage soul consuming piece of shit.
>>145664640
I'm pretty sure my friend and I are both into lolicon but we skirt around the subject.
Another friend of mine completely hates anything related to loli although he concedes that it doesn't correlate to actual pedophilia very well.

Yes, I haven't gotten that far myself but I've seen a CG or two of it. Protagonist pretty much plots to control them emotionally, physically, and even gives them magic armor that can be used to manipulate them unbeknownst to them.

>Normalfag is old and busted.
>trying to change a term to be politically correct
>term coined by a board infested with normalfags
Nah, never.

Normie is quicker to type and everyone uses it now. Can't help it. I'm a good sheep, I have to follow the crowd.
It's never to late to rectify your shameful habits anon. Being a degenerate is enough, you don't need to fail at that too.

Should I start with School Days or Shiny Days? The latter is a prequel, but most say that the former is better overall.
>>145665196
They're both pretty shit overall.
>>145665320
Which game is the least shittiest?
>>145665196
Just start with school days, if you like it move onto shiny.
>>145665369
I guess Shiny Days for the simple fact that Setsuna is the main focus because she's pretty much the only good girl in the series.
>>145664640
Cawfee.

I can't stand horsefaces.
>>145664764
I think lolicon correlates to actual pedophilia quite well. I've consumed a lot of loli porn year after year and I think I look for young features in women, like small breasts and whatnot.
I think you just become more perverted and more of a sick fuck as you age.
Still like women with big tits though, thankfully. I'm not that far down the rabbit hole yet.
>>145666167
>I'm a degenerate so you must be too
Fuck off
>>145664879
Aw, such a beautiful friendship they have.
>>145666264
he looks for 3dpd, it's okay, I don't think you'll find anyone else that degenerate
>>145664764
sounds like me, although it depends on the artist's style
>>145664375
>not corrupting your friends with eroge
I've done it, one person confirmed converting.
>>145666264
I didn't call anyone a degenerate. Though I do believe you are a degenerate if you actually believe you only like 2D girls exclusively.
Let me tell you something - the 3DPD thing is a meme some retards decided to take too seriously. You'd still fall to your knees if a good looking woman stood in front of you and told you to take her right there.
