On the other hand, anime gave us 2B’s butt. So it’s impossible to say if it’s good or bad.

I'm cool with horny and even more so lately THANKS TO YOU but I am completely utterly baffled at how somebody's brain becomes so loving poisoned that they think a game with UNDERAGE INCEST is an appropriate thing to champion to somebody who specifically requested a tame visual novel.

From reading the wiki poo poo it actually is an Oedipus Rex type of issue where the familial relation is revealed after feelings are already built, and it's not a sex thing I guess but it's a super hosed up situation and having this revealed is some really distressing poo poo for the characters. In any case this isn't even a "what the gently caress is wrong with anime fans" thing from what I've read in the past 10 minutes because it's at least an attempt to do something with literary themes. Actual porn is full of incest themes and pretty much if you go with the ~anime fans~ thing at this point you're just showing you don't actually care at all about it and just like a cheap dunk.


Anyways if someone wants a tame and good visual novel, go with what I've been suggesting for a while now in this thread: 428 Shibuya Scramble.

I don't care for them myself, but they remind me of old "choose your own adventure" books. I think I have an old Luigi one. Something something Peach is kidnapped (again), Mario is nowhere to be seen because reasons. Haven't read it in ages.

Edit: also there are books that combine CYOA with RPG mechanics. Pretty sure all of that is obsolete these days.

It's more like an interactive comic book if it's done well in terms of story, where you aren't really expecting it to be a good book. Also though there are plenty of visual novels with gameplay. 428 Shibuya Scramble uses multiple characters that you switch between and to progress the story, you need to have each character doing the right thing at the right time, sometimes intentionally making a character fail at what they want to do because another character needs to get away from them. It's effectively a puzzle game in that way, but it's still absolutely a visual novel. Some games have you go through a story, only really making decisions, but those decisions have impacts on later stuff, and it's fun to see how those decisions play out. Tokyo Dark has that. It's not all just progressing through dialogue, either. In Tokyo Dark you at least have to manually move your character from area to area. If you keep layering stuff on that model, you'll eventually get to Disco Elysium, which many people think is great, or even groundbreaking, but it's really just a visual novel with dice rolls and inventory management, and with an aesthetic drawn from impressionist paintings instead of anime. 428 Shibuya Scramble also is not anime.

But I mean, sure, if someone doesn't want to just try one out to see what the appeal could possibly be, then they're free to keep saying "heh anime fans" while posting for the past 10 or 15 years on the same bad internet forum

fridge corn posted:

100% agree, I'm just saying it's not an anime fans thing, it's a hosed up people thing, and there's a ton of anime that is not at all hosed up. Stephen King's IT keeps getting made for screen and people bring up the tween orgy but it just gets sidestepped, but people still watch it like it's fine. All the stuff that's hosed up is definitely hosed up, but lumping people together based on the fragment you've heard about that's hosed up is generally not good to do.

Also, from what I read about that game, it's not presented as normal or good. From what I read, it is presented as intensely hosed up and bad

a visual novel is basically the same "press A to advance textbox" story experience as a jrpg but without terrible jrpg combat in between the textboxes
so i guess the target audience people who really like jrpg stories (and are also extremely horny)

Yeah, put it on a sale wishlist or something in my opinion, if you don't know already that you'll derive 40 bucks of enjoyment out of a visual novel. Apparently the lowest price it's been on steam was 10 bucks, so it'll probably go that low again some day

this video always helps me when i need to calm down. if you need, too, i can get on discord and do it along with you or something! sounds kind of silly, but having another person there even if only in voice (at least for me) going along with it too and sending those vibes from calming down is pretty relaxing

Mix of some level of quality for the audio, soundtrack, art, and writing to make something that feels almost like an interactive movie (if you use subtitles when you do watch) in a subject matter you like.

World End Economica was good for me because each game in the trilogy went hard on explaining a certain facet of the stock market that had relevance to the main plot. It basically tied into the entire episode's story so it didn't just dump the info on how shorting works, it then follows the story progression of someone trying to short stock, looking for hints, either succeeding or getting hosed by the market, and the end result for their financial and personal life. All super anime of course.

Then you get the VN's that are basically cyoa games where the fun is replaying a short game multiple times to see the different outcomes.
