Post anything about your visual novel (galge, eroge, otome) interests here~

I think the osu community has a decent amount of VN players, but I was wondering as to why there's no VN thread so I just decided to start one. Sorry if I might be necroing but wasn't able to find an existing VN thread.

So, to start it off I'll post first about my own VN gaming experience.

I've been playing visual novels for nearly 2 years, started being interested with it when I watched the anime adaptation of the VN Shuffle!

Currently playing Utawarerumono, which I can't seem to finish because of osu! x3

my personal favorites are
ever17
saya no uta
can't remember other since I've played so many.

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

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

Never played one. Heard of a few good ones, never got around to actually getting anything. Any good starting points?

Just finished G-Senjou no Maou.
It's pretty kickass.

Pretty hyped about New Vestroia and Shock Cocoon, and I guess Katawa Shoujo too.

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.

I've only played Brave Soul (a few years ago), gameplay and story were cool~

Tsukihime seems to have an interesting story though

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?)

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.

I read Edelweiss, KiraKira, Planetarian and Little Busters! (what's been translated so far) until now.
I still have Fate/Stay Night, Clannad, Kanon and Air somewhere on my computer, but I don't really have the will to read them since I watched the Anime for each of them D:

let's see, i got some VN, most of em' are H and got deleted, i'll try to remember some of them...

Edelweiss
X-Change 3/alternative
Gadget Trial (i dunno if this even called VN, but it is a part of the game)
Phoenix Wright
Hinata Bokko

and i forgot the rest, i gotta stop reading VNs that has H-scene 5 minutes after it starts. Maybe i'll try more non-H VN or has no rape scene at all, that kind of VN is crap and it always is

maybe i'll try well-known VN like CLANNAD, ever17 or type-moon series later after i have more time in my hands

For anyone that is serious about reading English-translated visual novels and wants some suggestions, Click Here.

Those are my votes on vndb, they're all for English-translated novels and are based upon general plot and intricacy (porn with plot stories are there as well, but of course are rated extremely low). Generally, anything above a 6 is worth trying out.

Muv-Luv isn't on there since I haven't read it, but it's got good reviews.
