    Albedo got a reaction from Sayaka in Reading VNS with Reading Disability   
    Well, why don't you try giving some shorter titles a shot? Kikokugai (also from Nitroplus) is pretty good and short, so is Hanachirasu. Saya no Uta isn't that long also, but it's, uh, quite a trip.

    Albedo got a reaction from Silvz in [curiosity] Errors in VNs   
    Not CG related, but Flowers has plenty of mistakes. They get practically everything about catholicism wrong (which covers from background information to the answer to a question in one of the detective sections) which is kinda funny when the whole VN takes place in a catholic high-school. Still a good VN though.

    Albedo got a reaction from Roulette in VNs are too wordy! Recommend me some that don't feel 'wordy' even if they are   
    Play some of the shorter ones, like Saya no Uta, Kikokugai, Hanachirasu or Eden.

    Albedo got a reaction from dfbreezy in What is the appeal of visual novels?   
    It's simple, to read stories that I couldn't normally read in other mediums (say, books or comics) because they're either 1) way, waaaay out there (MYTH, Saya no Uta or Euphoria, for example) or 2) because they use storytelling devices that are not available in other media (Ever 17, 999 and Remember 11 are the first examples that come to mind.)
    Basically I read VNs for mindfucks and weird shit, and VNs are pretty good at it.

    If you want something "darker," try Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre and Vagrant Story. Valkyrie Profile, Xenogears and Suikoden II/III/V would also be good choices. You should be able to emulate all of them. Older stuff, Terranigma is not exactly dark, but it has a pretty interesting premise (plus it's a great action RPG.)
     
    Oh, and FFXII is absolutely NOT about saving the world with the power of friendship, but there's a remaster incoming so I'd wait.

    Albedo got a reaction from Kawasumi in What makes Grisaia no Kajitsu so great?   
    It's very simple, really.
     
    The premise, it's the ultimate white knight simulator. Think about it, "you" are the ultimate delta special forces ex-secret agent sarcastic badass marine, a dude that weights 120 pounds wet and has the same muscle mass as your average pro-ana supporter but can take out the entire UFC roster if need be, a mary sue if there ever was one, who comes to a school... that only has girls. And they all want the D, or will want the D (since it's that kind of game, you KNOW that they will want the D, you are supposed to know) So far so good. Except that you find out that the girls are damaged. They have "issues," they're complicated. But you? Oh, you can fix them. And they will want your D in the process. Some of them might even call you daddy. Of course, you have to save them, but you'll be a badass about it, sometimes to ridiculous extremes, to a point where the MC's actions defy logic and human rights themselves. But that's okay, because he's a badass former ranger 00 agent licensed to kick ass who's never wrong, so everything will be fine in the end. 
     
    It's about wish fulfillment, in the end. It's designed to push an otaku's romantic buttons with surgical precision, and I really admire the writers for it. Oh, and the common route drags like fucking hell, but Angelic Howl is really good. And Makina's bad ending is gold.
