Secchan Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just curious how many people actually use the full screen option that comes in the game. Since it exist i guess some people out there might use it. I personally find it useless cause most of the games are 800x600. Recently there have games that are increasing in res but i could just be spoiled with 1920x1080 so full screening just makes it worse.

Skeith Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 So, yeah, I don't use full screen because like you said, most games are in an 800x600 resolution format. When I tried fullscreen, imo, it just felt kind of "disgusting" because everything is stretched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Always. My screen is small, and I think it helps immersion. Also, by using full screen I can get a bit farther from the screen and then I can read faster. But I'm not used to 1080p though, because my computer can't handle 1080p anime/movies.

Mikel Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I've been playing VNs for about 6 months, and in all this time I'm using full screen with Rewrite for the first time. Until now I always played with window mode, but seeing how big Rewrite's window is, I just thought I might as well play full screen. The general answer would be no, because this is the first VN I play in full screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowtsuku Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I always play in window mode because I can multitask that way, yep even Rewrite. The only VN that I plan to play in FS is FH because the text is so small ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I generally feel it hurts immersion a lot to not have the vn fullscreen. I have a 1366x788 or something screen on my faptop, so the stretching isn't hugely noticeable. That said, I greatly prefer for the game to preserve its aspect ratio and use black borders.

Steve Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 well I got a nonwide screen to bed just so I can play in fullscreen and don't have to worry about it being stretched xD And I might be getting second screen to bed for widescreen vs too (and movies and anime etc - but I don't mind the black bars on bottom, I do mind on sides though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beato Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I tend to switch a lot. If I'm reading a H-scene I ofc use window mode it so I just can click outside the window in case someone walks by. If the scene isn't terribly exiting I also tend to use window so I can multitask. Otherwise I'm full screen all the way even though I have a desktop (yeah even with 800x600 VN's). Though obviously I read with black borders. Resized artwork doesn't hurt my eyes that much but stretched artwork is the horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvertMouse Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 For old games with lower resolutions, going full screen makes the art go blurry, so in that case I stick to windowed mode . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Ironically, I actually play all my games in full-screen, I tend to be ok with the pixelated graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidbatman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I go fullscreen for every VN that lets me simply because I'll get too I dstracted if I can see other windows/icons. Doesn't take much to pull me away from anything actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use window but I haven't thought of this. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 So far I've always used fullscreen and it works pretty well so far. It gives a better immersion level and I feel like if I multitask while playing I'd lose out lots of parts, both pragmatically and emotionally speaking.

Sen Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I use fullscreen most of the time because I don't want to get distracted by the other windows/programs while I'm reading. When I replay VNs that I finished, though, I switch to a window since I just skim through the scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 My screen is very small, so I tend to use full screen. I really don't care about artwork either- as long as the BGM and text are fine I couldn't care less about how streched the images are.

jaxter0987 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'll use full screen unless the stretched image is unbearable. For Rewrite, I didn't use full screen because it fits pretty much perfectly on my screen in windows mode if I just move my task bar to the side of the screen.

Dizzyworld2 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Until now I always played with window mode, but seeing how big Rewrite's window is, I just thought I might as well play full screen. The general answer would be no, because this is the first VN I play in full screen Basically what I did. On newer vns in 720p, the resizing is not horribly noticeable so it's worth the fullscreen. However, I cannot stand stretched artwork. >__< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forythos Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 At first I always went full screen as I felt it helped with immersion. (Switching my monitor's display to 4:3 when needed.) But over time I switched to playing most of them windowed, not sure why, it just happened, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeyamati Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I mostly play in window mode so I can multi-task, but with some VNs where the resolution isn't 800x600 then I'll go full screen occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaler Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Only VN I ever read with fullscreen was Remember11 because it actually looked pretty good. But most of the time I just play on windowed mode, since it preserves the game's native resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Well I feel like a fool for playing fullscreen. I still find it helps with my immersion. I do wonder why so many play windowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurobeatz Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I prefer to not use fullscreen, because it's easier to access other programs while I'm playing the game. Eurobeatz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VN-Angel Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Always use full-screen because seeing window in background while playing kinda annoy me. The only exceptions are nukiges, I never use FS for nukiges. Reason ??? You know, right!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
