    In 3D I like to travel (I'm currently on holidays in Moscow) and I quite like my student life as a computer science student. I look forward to an interesting work in that field where I always have to learn new stuff.

    What do you think about routes?

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    I think routes are fundamental to most VNs, it's what make them special, "If I choose this, what happens?". In anime and manga that has several target characters they often just publish the "most important one" or true route. But different viewers/readers like different characters and would choose differently. That's where VNs with routes stand out.

     

    And as a bonus you can get unlockable routes where it's done right, where the VN is like a ball of yarn, or a matryoshka. You learn more and more, until you finally understand it all.

    How are the relationships? One of the things I don't like in some VN is when virgin characters all of the sudden go from being just friends to having sex out of no where, like I don't understand that sort of writing, I get it your main character and one of the heroins are in his room alone on his bed, but guess what man they haven't held hands, or even kissed.

    When they both have 0 sexual history in that situation the most they would probably do is kiss then make out, I can't stand when instead of that they just have one kiss then fuck, just doesn't make sense to me. Idk if you feel the same though.

     

    I don't have any big problems with that, but I can't stand ero-scenes before the character is properly introduced. I think Grisaia is OK on that aspect, it has late branching into the routes.

    Well I've only read 3 Visual novels so far Katawa Shojou which was my first (yes I know big shocker)

    Devil on G string, and Koiken Otome, personally I liked Devil on G string the most, even though I felt that the main character often overlooked far to much for being portrayed as being as intelligent as he was.

     

    I would recommend Grisaia no Kajitsu, as it has a deep protagonist, great arcs and unforgettable puns.

    Yo!

    Nice top list, KEY is really the seed of quality VNs, without them I don't think I'd discovered high quality VNs if there ever would be any without them.

    Interesting, where in Russia are you? Because the part about teabags and fruity teas being popular is true but I've never seen anyone drink tea from a glass.

    Saint Petersburg, they serve tea in glasses on the hotel, cafés, restaurants and cafeterias. Should I make reports from Moscow later this week too?

    My general idea (it might be wrong) is they drink mostly green domestic tea, and they have this powder instead of tea-bags or tea-strainer. I know they like the Chinese call black tea red 紅茶 and I think I'll have to agree with them that red is more describing of the liquid.

     

    Btw as I'm currently in another tea-country, Russia I've noticed their habits, they drink tea in glasses, tea-bags seem to dominate and they prefer fruity teas. My impression until now.

    Advice for Building a Gaming Computer

    in Gaming Talk

    Prioritise

    1. A good motherboard that is ATX not smaller (so that your graphics card doesn't block things), it should have the latest socket / ram-standard etc. for being future proof. 
    2. Good graphics-cards and processor (as they are expensive and have to be replaced instead of extended)
    3. Buy normal hard disks after storage+backup need as you can have several and they are cheap. Use a SSD that can hold system + programs. Extend RAM after need.

    Daitoshokan at first place, well I liked it much but wasn't expecting it to get first place, but in the top 3. Rakuen at #5 (really good for being a sequel). Karumarka Circle first on #17 (I thought it would score a little bit higher) and it surprises me that cocoro@function just got the place after.

     

    Well I'll interpret this the positive way, that is, there were a lot of great titles I missed out on from 2013, that I can pick up when I get time.... whenever that is...

    Visual novel with animations.

    in Recommendations

    My experience with full-animated (think School Days) VN are that they have to cut corners somewhere to make the product, and often that "corner" is storytelling. One example is Qualiaffordance it's the type example of a VN where they focus on animation, but it falls like a a ton of bricks because the story is in short rushed.

     

    Well in the case of School Days they actually achieved some story, and then it's a matter of taste if you like or dislike it.
