Clephas Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 How do you choose your games to recommend? Incidentally, I tend to tailor mine to the tastes of the people asking, and when I can't produce what they want, I say so honestly, lol.

Zakamutt Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Voted for all three of the non-other options. I recommend Symphonic Rain because I love it, then certain sets of vns depending on OP's qualifications, and I tailor all this to the post.

Stanleys Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 If I loved it, an it's meets the tastes of who's asking, I usually recommend it. Although the aount of want I can recommend is usually limited since I haven't played many VN's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitouski Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Also voted all three... there are some things that I think are too good to not recommend, but sometimes they're not a good fit given what someone is asking. Genre and concept is a good place I start when making a recommendation, but it's also per what the person asking likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katatsumuri Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The best way to recommend something, is to generally start with the the other persons preferences and to know exactly what he/she wants, and then progress from there. Just because you love it, doesn't mean that the other person will love it too, so it's generally best to just ask him/her a lot of questions to make sure that you get the "right" one.

Sioxz Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I tend to tailor to the askers taste but if he wants some romance why not give him the best romance thing i know to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyjason Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Usually, if I said "Wow, this was a nice game" for any reason, I'll recommend it to others. Aka. I'm giving other people my own "preferences" and "tastes"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalor Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I picked both " tailor it to the one making the request", and, "other (please explain)". If someone is already into anime or VNs then I occasionally tailor to their taste. But most people I meet aren't as into anime as I am, and I've never met anyone who was into VNs; and in this case I usually recommend what I judge as the best. My definition of best is something that is deeply though provoking, exquisitely well written and crafted, as well as enjoyable. I want to make sure people are exposed to the finest anime available similar to how a gourmet would recommend a restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shcboomer Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I think I suggest VNs based on taste, it's hard to suggest something generally without at least a basic glance at what that person may like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceAttorney Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Basically a mix of all 3. I don't want to reccommend something I thought was bad, but I also want to make sure I find something the requester was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookwormOtaku Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It's either because I loved the game or because I enjoyed it enough to reccomend even if it has noticeable flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okami Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Depend on what is person asking for, if he ask for VN that is similar to the one he already read and liked a try to give him VN that has the same feeling as that one, other times I check what that person likes and recommend something similar and if I can't do that because that person didn't give a link to his list on VNDB and didn't sad what he likes than I just recommend what I liked. But I can't recommend match VNs as I didn't read that many as I started reading them around 6 mounts ego and I read some really long ones but if someone is asking for recommendation of anime I can always recommend something as I watched alot.

sanahtlig Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I tailor to the preferences of the requester, but I'll also recommend titles I haven't played but have concluded from available evidence are "worth playing". A critical analysis can be more useful than simply listing your favorites in a given genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
