I've infiltrated the facility and set my sights on my target

So far I've only made one choice (whether or not to introduce myself to my new classmates) so it doesn't feel much like a game at this point. Time will tell whether that'll actually change. The art is pretty well done though, as is the music, and the story up to this point has been well written enough to get me semi-interested. I'm gonna save the game and take a break in a minute, this game has reminded me that I've got work to finish.

Bear in mind, KS is not a 'game' in the traditional sense.
Well, visual novels in general aren't.
You do VN's for the story, the characters, the world it's in.

Please make a thread man.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;39055260]What does /v/ have against 'Tropes vs women in video games' anyways?[/QUOTE]
Taking the money and running mostly.
Oh and usual feminist blabbering about women being portrayed as sex symbols instead of normal women. Which would be fine, if they didn't completely ignore the 2m tall, blonde haired, blue eyed, super-buff macho man in the very same game. If asked about it they'll say that those are "male fantasies too, males want to be like that" (because looking like a super model is obviously [B]not[/B] a female fantasy at all right?) or that "it's due to mysoginy!!".
More of the usual in the end, a bit like the "there is no misandry but there is a lot of misogyny!!".
Actually nevermind that has nothing to do with /v/ (though I assume the first point stands), that's why I can't bear feminists. You'd have to ask /v/ for why they hate it.
yes please make a thread or post in the original thread
katawa shoujo isn't a game in my opinion
you'll make around 10 choices and spend most of the game clicking through and reading dialogue
there isn't 'gameplay'

Sounds like a plan. I'll do that once I've gotten my work out of the way I suppose.

Too bad foreverpandering is dead, otherwise I'd link his video.

The problem is it's hard to define were it becomes a game Is The Walking Dead a game? Everyone says yes due to 3D animated graphics and stuff, but if you think purely in terms of gameplay, it's not much different really (I haven't played KS nor want to, but I have an idea of what it works like).
Still don't think any visual novel should be in GOTY nominees.

The walking dead had things like quicktime events, and a lot more choices - Katawa Shoujo's choices were more 'click this for this whole chunk of writing which you may or may not achieve from the points system' rather than 'this is going to work alongside with your choice from earlier'
I'm not hating on it, but I don't think it's a game that can be measured up against the games with erm, gameplay. Katawa Shoujo was an enjoyable story. Usually I despise anything involving anime but I still enjoyed it, for the record.

shit that makes me a hypocrite since I loved heavy rain and Walking Dead
fuck
why man
why`d you do that
Lemme apolagize to the Katawa Shoujo fans. I`m hating on your game without playing which is unfair. I purposely didn`t vote for FarCry3 for anythinc cause I haven`t played it, so I shouldn`t hate your thing
I`m sorry guys. To each their own?
Like I said, I don`t do anime so I wasn`t interested.
I hope we`re cool.

Do you think the regulars would mind if I posted my play journal in there for you guys (because I'm sure they're fully familiar with the intimate details of this game already)? As long as there's a general thread it'd be good to avoid making a new one.
I'm downloading kawaii shogun or whatever to see what all the fuss is about.

It's been lacking activity for ages. New blood is always good.
I make ZERO promises. But when I get home?
I may or may not play your Katawa feels game.
I have made my votes in all the categories in which I knew what I was voting for. Some of the games on there I just stare at blankly
This shit reminds me of the original Ks thread. Which means tomorrow there will be feels.
I feel that the fuss over KS is over for me, Though maybe thats because i ended up being one to see the worst that the fanbase it has could produce.

We're totally doomed.
and infighting about who's the best chick
Wasn't this all caused because I posted a picture showing a giant fucking smiley face under DOTA 2 and everyone started bitching over the fact I had Katawa Shoujo as #1?
[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;39056218]and infighting about who's the best chick[/QUOTE]
Which is pointless because we all know Lilly is best.
[QUOTE=Pennywise;39046922]I'm somewhat torn on the "Blunder of the year" category nominees.
The War Z probably has the highest blunder-to-timeframe ratio, but it was a small-game rushjob helmed by a Big Rigs coder. Not really shooting for the stars with that one from the starting line.
Mass Effect 3, on the other hand, was a highly anticipated major project which cocked up so badly that both the Federal Trade Commission [i]and[/i] the Better Business Bureau were called in to weigh the amount of bullshit to evaluate if it had reached [i]industry redefining[/i] levels.
And on the third horrible mutant hand, Tortanic continues to silently bubble in the murky depths.[/QUOTE]
I actually enjoy all of ME3 until the end. Honestly, that's the only really shite part of a trilogy (and the other two games are great).
WarZ on the other hand was just a massive fuckup, they didn't even finish half their game.
People seem to be forgetting about the fact you can turn off sex scenes in KS.
If you want to give it a go but don't want to deal with that shit, just turn it off. Simple.
COD gets the Stop It award. Hands Down.
