    Because the world doesn't need more lame yuri.

    It's not yuri...

    But seriously, I've heard it might be out by the end of the year.

    Your argument is invalid.

    Then it's obviously not worth playing.

    And suddenly, Ponicalica seems like such a nice intelligent guy.

    999, Ponicalica and Juan.

    To me, saying a VN can't be good is like saying a book can't be good.

    To me, taking me seriously means that you've never interacted with me or that you simply need to sleep.

    Ah, but I don't know Poni well enough to know if I should take HIM seriously.

    I refuse to play a VN until Steins: Gate gets translated.

    (realizes he's playing 999)

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCK!

    "Ah, but I don't know Poni well enough to know if I should take HIM seriously."

    I'd say he is, except he doesn't like VNs, like me.

    the medium doesn't attract me, really.

    Are you sure it's the medium and not the fact that 70% of it is porn and 29% is the same genre as most of the porn, but without the porn?

    I think it can do certain things plain old regular novels can't, but while I've played a number I've enjoyed I've yet to see one that really takes advantage of reading and almost playing other than bullshit puzzles and 'choices'.

    ^That's also a problem. S;G attracts me because while the harem element is there, there's also a heavy sci-fi a-plot.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse

    The only VN I know of that really takes advantage of its medium is Umineko.

    999 takes advantage of being on the DS in a really clever way, but not of being a VN.

    999's puzzles vary between 'so easy they're bullshit' and 'what the fuck top-tier sudoku'

    It also lets prose do things pictures should, thus missing the point of a VISUAL novel.

    You're not done yet, right? If so, you don't know what I'm talking about yet. It's literally the last revelation.

    Yes, I'm sure that if VNs had a different catalog, I still wouldn't be particularly attracted to them.

    I feel like the adding of sound to still images is not that really important and amazing, really.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Okay. Just checking.

    Really, for me, it's the addition of still images to text that's good. And music's nice, I guess.

    I kind of just wish visual novels weren't primarily written in such a way that they imply that the protagonist and the player are the same... >.> though I guess that's not really a problem with the medium as with certain types of fiction in general.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^999 is a definite exception to that.

    ^^Well, things like Twilight and Harem animes do that to a lesser extent as well...

    "Really, for me, it's the addition of still images to text that's good."

    Yeah, but you could say the same of comic books.

    Note: I may be biased because I raed Watchmen's VN. >_>

    I'd argue that if it's as ubiquituous within the medium itself as i think it is, then it counts as a valid complaint.

    ^He did mention it happens in other mediums.

    ^^^ That's nice to hear, I guess.

    ^^ Yeah, I know. Though, I don't like most harem anime for that reason too.

    "I'd argue that if it's as ubiquituous within the medium itself as i think it is, then it counts as a valid complaint."

    It is, but to me, the complaint is more the oversaturation of a single genre within the medium.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Of course, but it still is a very valid complaint levelled at the medium itself as you can't simply try different things because there are no different things to enjoy.

    (In theory, of course. There are exceptions to what DYRE pointed out, but so far, they are so few that it barely seems like much of a convincing argument)

    American comics books have the same problem.

    As do video games and TTRPGs, honestly.

    Which doesn't make it okay, but...
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Yeah. That's part of why I want to write for the medium: so I can help fix its massive obvious flaw.

    I wanted to try Higurashi but that art... ugh...
