[QUOTE=Akasori;34515050][t]http://i.imgur.com/bcaAP.png[/t] Is Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective considered as a VN?[/QUOTE] He looks like a fusion of Johnny Bravo and Jesse from Pokemans

I wouldn't consider Ghost Trick a VN really, it has much less TEXT TEXT TEXT than Ace Attorney, and more real gameplay. But depends on if it's marketed as such. [editline]2nd February 2012[/editline] And I need to finish it.

I'd just like to say I'm amazed how far this thread's gone in a few days.

[QUOTE=timmyvos;34514202]I'm no Japanophobe or something, it's just that the premise just isn't something I'm interested in.[/QUOTE] Still, you should at least give it a try. Most people weren't interested in the story and started it with the idea of: "Oh man, this is going to be so goddamn stupid, crippled hentai shit", and then really got into it. I'm one of those people, and even though it didn't seem interesting at first, once I tried it (if just for a good laugh), it happened to be really enjoyable.

Playing Katawa Shoujo, Looking at this flowchart [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/KatawaShoujoFlowchartv29.png[/url] I for the life of me CANNOT understand Rin's Flowchart. It's so damned confusing! It doesn't explain everything well enough. I'm at the [sp]studies in greyscale[/sp] part and I have no clue what to say, either I say [sp]You're amazing! OR I wish I was as good as you.[/sp] Can anyone explain to me this weird flowchart thing? What's with the ART- thing and the different starred things? :\

Is Heavy Rain a visual novel? It's not text, but it focuses on delivering a story and allowing you to make choices.

Just don't take the "Bad End" choices later and you'll be fine.

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;34515594]Is Heavy Rain a visual novel? It's not text, but it focuses on delivering a story and allowing you to make choices.[/QUOTE] I'd say no.

[QUOTE=ILY;34515629]It's closer to god of war than a visual novel technically[/QUOTE] ...Why? Because there's 3d models and not sprites/animations?

Doesn't really change much.

Just finished G-senjou no Maou's Haru ending, that was just absolutely beauti- HOLY SHIT IT'S STILL GOING OH MY FUCKING GOD

[QUOTE=timmyvos;34514202]I'm no Japanophobe or something, it's just that the premise just isn't something I'm interested in.[/QUOTE] Just to make sure it's clear: Katawa Shoujo is not about romancing girls through pitying their respective disabilities. It's not quite that shallow.

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;34515820]Just to make sure it's clear: Katawa Shoujo is not about romancing girls through pitying their respective disabilities.

[QUOTE=Chernzobog;34516081]Hisao is definitely the most pitiable in the game. He's severely autistic and can die at literally any given second.[/QUOTE] Oh god, Emi's arc, so fucking clueless.

[QUOTE=Tinter;34516320]Oh god, Emi's arc, so fucking clueless.[/QUOTE] Also, Rin's. And in Shizune's he's just a pussy.

[QUOTE=Chernzobog;34516506]Also, Rin's. And in Shizune's he's just a pussy.[/QUOTE] If anything, Shizune [sp]raped[/sp] Hisao. Word.

[QUOTE=gregmasterx;34515672]Just finished G-senjou no Maou's Haru ending, that was just absolutely beauti- HOLY SHIT IT'S STILL GOING OH MY FUCKING GOD[/QUOTE] I felt so sad. So very, very sad. [sp]even the last panel wasn't enough to cheer me up. :([/sp]

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;34517870]Started playing Saya no Uta. MOTHERFUC< :suicide:[/QUOTE] [sp]Oumi. OUMI. JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS HAPPENING THIS IS SO TERRIFYING.[/sp]

Apart from Ace Attorneys, Saya no Uta was my first VN. I liked it.

[QUOTE=Akasori;34518072]Apart from Ace Attorneys, Saya no Uta was my first VN. I liked it.[/QUOTE] Playing with lights off at night, the atmosphere is dense as diamond. I'm really liking this too.

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;34515820]Just to make sure it's clear: Katawa Shoujo is not about romancing girls through pitying their respective disabilities. It's not quite that shallow.[/QUOTE] I did Hanako's story arc because I felt sorry for her even though she's a fictional character.

Also, if anyone is wondering about presence of Rape or violence in a VN... [B]LOOK AT THE FUCKING OP, ALERT SECTION UNDER EVERY VN.[/B] I made sure to note instances of these situations so that people wouldn't have to ask.
