I vote for Witch's Garden, too.
-
Just started playing I/O.
-
Sharin no Kuni, Remember 11 and YU-NO are quite good, too.
-
For peaple who finished "Higananbana Second night", is it better than the first game or not ?
Yes, it is.
-
Saya is pretty good, and Chaos;Head starts really well... and then gets not so good, but it's still worth a play for the delusion system imo.
-
Sachi bad end in Grisaia had me almost in tears laughing, though I doubt it was intentional...
-
Eien no Aselia, strategy game kinda similar to a simplified Ogre Battle/Ogre Battle 64.
-
Oh, I had no idea Alternative was a sequel
. Nobody has really mentioned the original game, though. Is it any good?It's two parts. Extra is a romantic comedy that might or might not bore you (it did bore me.) Unlimited is like a prologue for Alternative, but with some crucial character moments so it's pretty much required. It also ends up in a huge cliffhanger and Japanese fans had to wait 3 years for Alternative lol. Overall, they're not that long and worth playing in the long run.
-
Sweet, thanks folks. I might check it out
!Just remember to play Muv Luv first
-
Muv Luv Alternative, by far.
-
Muv Luv series (Muv Luv and Muv Luv Alternative,) just remember that you need to play the whole trilogy and not skip directly to Alternative, or you're gonna lose a lot of enjoyment.
-
Finished Higanbana: The second night. Think I liked it better than the first one.
-
You should really give the Muv Luv trilogy a shot. Yeah, Extra, the first part, is nothing to write home about but Alternative is AMAZING.
-
I introduced people to VNs with Saya more than one time. They were mostly very satysfied. It really depends on the kind of genre you like, I introduced it to people who wouldn't be able to stand the sight of a romance story like hoshimemo. There are always people who like things darker and edgier~
Saya no Uta was one of my first VNs, and I think it's a pretty good one to introduce people to the medium. Why? Because it's weird as fuck, and really drives home that by playing VNs you'll be able to read the kind of stuff that you won't find anywhere else.

I own myself to play more of the key visual novel, maybe i will later.
I gonna try this Desire one that Abedo mentioned.
ok keep the recomendations movin. ^.^
Uh, Try Eve Burst Error or something else instead, it's not really that good (but it does have retro art style xP)
-
YU-NO, Eve Burst Error and Desire have similar art styles, I think.
-
For male characters, I'd say Takeda Akane (Hanachirasu.) Female character would be Mitsurugi Meiya (MLU/MLA version.)
-
Um, the Galaxy Angel games are about as lighthearted as it gets, I think. Or maybe try Go! Go! Nippon to see more of the place from where age troll its fans? I dunno.
-
any information on red light districts in japan?
Eh, gonna be that guy xP. What you probably want are called Soaplands, not host clubs and stuff, but some allow Gaijin, some don't. Whatever you do, if you go partying around Roppongi, DO NOT FUCKING LISTEN TO THE TOUTS. Heard some pretty bad stuff from people at the school I was in about them.
-
Halfway done thru' Bible Black, so far it's been pretty funny.
-
I've learned not to rely on hype as well, as I was pretty disappointed when I discovered that Phantom of Inferno was shit and Grisaia was nothing special. On the other hand, it can be good sometimes to have some games stand out so you try out stuff that you normally wouldn't, like Symphonic Rain in my case.
-
Would you never simply want to see some good characters interacting for the sake of such?
Nope. If they interact, it's gotta be for some reason, either to move the plot or to reveal something about the character's personalities that might be relevant down the road or a complete red herring, that is fine too. But the point is, the author is giving you information that is in service to the plot. If they established that, say, character X is a tsundere wannabe with a bad case of the blondness in the previous 2 scenes, you don't need 43 more scenes of the same thing (and nothing else.) In other words, that David Mamet memo's pretty good.
I feel exactly the opposite to Invermouse in regards to Madoka, I think the reason why it worked so well it's because there's no fluff, at all, everything happens real fast and they do seem to have it planned for everything since the beggining, as opposed to making things up as they go. A Beach/Onsen episode wouldn't fit the tone at all.
-
Some old Kanno games, like YU-NO (without annoying "click on the screen over 9000 times to make Kanna appear" kinda things) and Eve Burst Error would be pretty good.
-
Phantom of Inferno.
I was hyped for this, being that I played Saya no Uta and Kikokugai before. Sadly, Urubutcher took a bunch of elements of different crime/espionage franchises (plus Rei Ayanami... gotta have her in there somewhere) and instead of trying to mix it to to do something interesting, well, he didn't do shit. Uroubuchi had so poor an understanding of the underpinnings of the things he was aping/playing with that It completely fails both as a crime drama, and as an espionage thriller.
Oh also had the most dreadfully boring narrator of all time. Unskipable, to boot.
