Been 2 years since I read VN's, pretty fun since its the stuff that I play most really.

Personal Fav:
-Narcissu and Narcissu 2nd
-Sharin no Kuni
-Seiken no Inganock

Well read a lot of em so I'm just too lazy to list them and Sumaga is still stuck at 79% translation or so....lol

heintsi

- All Ace attorneys
- Narcissu
-999
-Chaos;head
-A bit of umineko

Man i should play more of these.. galaxy angel just got translated(well noticed it yesterday) so gotta start with that. also thinking of putting some on my psp cause i think handheld is where these games are best.

Never played one. Heard of a few good ones, never got around to actually getting anything. Any good starting points?
Neo@lex
Just finished G-Senjou no Maou.
It's pretty kickass.

Pretty hyped about New Vestroia and Shock Cocoon, and I guess Katawa Shoujo too.
Ekaru
Ace Attorney, yes. Time Hollow I also played. Does Sakura Wars 5 count? It's mostly a visual novel of sorts except for the 8 or so battles.

I mainly prefer actual novels, though, so yeah.

ever17 is a good visual novel to start with, not too short and not too long either.


Haven't played the ace attorney series yet, heard it was good.
Just finished G-senjou no maou earlier this month too, would give it 8/10

was thinking of playing higurashi too.

I started maybe a few months ago on a few VN's and generally play them on and off slowly.

The first one I ever played was Utawarerumono (hard mode was pretty fun XD) and I'm now gradually working on Clannad.

The only other one I've played so far is Katawa Shoujo.

I'm actually pretty new to Visual Novels.

I've been playing Tsukihime and trying to get Fate/Stay to work---though I suppose I should try to get it on my own rather than rely on my friend to jump it from his computer to mine. (He has a tendancy of going 'Hey you gotta try this shit here!' which is actually why I'm into most of the out of country fandoms that I'm into.)

I've been interested in Umeneko and Higurashi after watching the anime.

After having read the Tsukihime VN, and watching the anime I wanna see how much better the VN is for Umeneko/Higurashi is. xD;

Higurashi and Umineko are hard to get used to compared to some other VNs due to no voice acting and (let's admit it) sub-par artwork. If you try higurashi, I highly suggest getting the PS2 sprite patch, and read umineko later on and *keep reading*. Things are super boring until the end of Episode 1.

I actually enjoyed reading Umineko Episode 1 from start to finish. I didn't find it boring at all.

This, really. It's slow-paced and deliberate, setting up a sense of tension while remaining calm the entire time, and using that lull to actually develop its characters and the politics of the Ushiromiya family.

The first Episode was actually my favorite one.
NatsumeRin
*sigh, i don't know why you guys like general that much.

favourites:
Fate (mainly because of the world set, i don't like tsukihime that much though)
Little Busters! (don't need to say much)
Ever 17 (Story.)
Kite
I've only played Brave Soul (a few years ago), gameplay and story were cool~

Tsukihime seems to have an interesting story though

Requesting merge with viewtopic.php?f=75&t=46096 because no one likes posting the same thing twice.

Surprisingly, I liked Chaos;Head a lot (A LOT)
I found tsukihime, Ever17 and Clannad boring...

Complied. I also think I did it correctly, to boot!

Leaving this in the Otaku board because VNs don't seem like they fit in the video game section anyway (they're primarily reading material, right? Visual Novels?)
Colin Hou
my fav for now:
Yosuga no Sora/Haruka no Sora (excellent illustrator :3)
CLANNAD (story/charactors this game made me think about many things about life)
Natteke
I started reading ever17 like half a year ago and I've only finished tsugumi's ending so far :D
xFreezingx
I like DC series a lot <3
senaya
Well, my first vn was Ever17 back in the 2006, I think, and I actually bought that game. It had a crappy software-translated Russian version and a decent English version, that was probably the point when I decided to switch to English releases of everything anime-related.

I'm also willing to buy vns so if you happen to know where I can order a delivery to Moldova (crappy small post-USSR country in Eastern Europe) please PM me (amazon and e-bay don't do it). Thank you.
