I don't think I'll get good results from posting in Games, so is it okay if I ask for VN recommendations here? I was gifted World End Economica and I thought it was good so now I'm looking to explore more of the medium. I don't have any particular genre in mind, just want to try the "classics". Preferably on Steam, or otherwise easily accessible for a dumb English-speaker.

I'd second Kindred Spirits, with some extreme qualifications. It's a yuri thing and generally pretty cute, but there's a student/teacher romance in there that tries really hard to make itself okay but it's just nooooot. I also find the ghost characters to be kind of terrible at times. Also, it's an eroge, so if you're not down for that be advised. I'd say it's about as explicit as a Christine Love (Analog: A Hate Story, Hate Plus) game with CGs, if you're familiar with those. Also also, despite being an eroge, all the ero stuff is 8+ hours in, so don't go in looking for instant les-porn either. Spiritus Nox fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Mar 1, 2016 |

Not interested in anything explicit. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni isn't on Steam (but apparently will be someday), but wikipedia says this and this are prequels. Are they any good?

Thanks for the tip, Seafood. Unfortunately it seems I can't actually buy it. The Witch Hunt website links to mangagamer, but they have removed the game from their catalog. It's not even listed under the 07th Expansion section. I'll email them, maybe it's just a mistake. Steins;Gate is a good idea that I should have thought of myself and it looks like it's actually easy to buy. Thanks Allarion!

Fruit of Grisaia is another good one that's on steam.

They'd do better to release it in two full servings rather than eight separate chapters. No need to clutter people's libraries.

Which I kind of hope they don't because in the end people could always  it (not that I'm advocating they do so) as a temporary solution whereas Higurashi is in desperate need of a new and updated release for all chapters.Steins;Gate remains an excellent choice as always of course.

Okay, after 9 episodes or so, I feel confident in saying: Symphogear is good It's just so earnest in what it does! At first I thought the squeaky pool noodle disco monsters where dumb, but now they seem like a perfect fit for it. Goddamn. It really doesn't look to have much of a budget (first season at least), but I hope they keep ramping this up. I want to see stuff destroyed. Also, red-haired kungfu dude is my hero. Favorite scene of the entire show so far:  "I'm here to help you!" "NO I'LL NEVER TRUST ADULTS AGAIN"* jumps out of window, transforms, buttrock blares *

  Symphogear is BY FAR the dumbest anime I've ever watched, and it's awesome Everybody is incredibly stupid, has the most ridiculously anime motivations and the hammiest of lines. It is pure anime. I'm at episode 10 now. If the finale of the first season is any indication, this is gonna get good. Already got one attempted moon dunk. I've got a bottle of vodka ready, let's do this

I've been getting into Visual Novels a little bit lately, and it reminded me that apparently Clannad coming to steam was something of a big deal not that long ago. Anyone able to tell me what's up with that game and whether I ought to look into it? Particularly at 50 bucks?

Cake Attack posted:don't buy Clannad for 50 bucks, the anime is better and 50 bucks is a brutal price point I suspected I might get that answer. What's up with Clannad in general, though? Is it just another High School Slice Of Life thing? Because I might be down for that at some point or another, but only if it does something interesting with it.

nah it's more of a romantic melodrama? the first season is good but not great, basically a high school romance with some harem elements (the vn is a dating sim). it stands out mainly because it's funny and the main character is well characterized instead of being a bland cypher. also Kyo Ani direction the second season, After Story, is why people mainly care about it because it follows the life of the main character and his girlfriend after they graduate and beyond. it's very good and sad imo, although some people would call it emotional manipulative in the ways it is sad. i don't entirely agree since i think it lands, but it's that sorta show, if i am making any sense when i say melodrama i mean in the sad backstories and tearjerking events way
