Idiots and Visual Novels

[OmniStrata]

For a second, I thought the OP was saying people who play Visual Novels were idiots... lol

People have forgotten how to read and enjoy a good book.

I collect Magic: the Gathering novels. Lots of fantasy stuff, and Orson Scott Card's books. Christopher Pike is also an author whose oldies are goodies for me.

When I have kids, they gonna be reading God dang it. People who only want visuals for games and can't play make believe like Dungeons & Dragons etc. probably aren't exercising their imaginations much and ultimately, they literally get a weaker brain because of it.

I bypass most vis. novels and just get an all clear save file for teh hot sex0rs, but even then, I play through the game just to see how the story goes.

That and well, I can see some of the hentai to be taken 'seriously' and not solely for fap fap material, though ultimately, that usually ends up being the case.

Well then bite me Omni.

I play video games, read NOVELS, play VNs, watch anime, practice martial arts, read manga, and a whole lot of other stuff. I just happen to prefer VNs, but hell I read alot of books.

Same here... though I do not do martial arts.

It's not the fact that they're novels that turns me away, it's the fact that the stories look horrendously trashy. Now, maybe there are some good ones, but the most I've gotten out of VNs is some laughs at reading their synopses.

Wow. Narrow minded point of view if I ever saw one. Some of them (Clannad) have incredible stories (Clannad). Some don't have H content (Clannad, Ever17) and are entirely about the story (Clannad). There are other's that include H content (Fate/Stay Night, Utawarerumono, Tsukihime, Kana ~Imouto~, the list goes on) but still have unbelievable stories (" ").

I could go on and on about how wrong you are but I won't.

That's because you're a fucking retard who doesn't know how to hold up the good end of an intelligent conversation. It's all a matter of opinion, got that fag? He doesn't like VNs, so what? Don't be so butthurt about it and just fucking move along, respect his opinion just like people put up with your goddamn stupidity. Tolerance motherfucker, do you speak it?

Wow you are so mature. I don't have a problem with his opinion. It's simply because he stated it as fact. If it was stated as an opinion, well then your argument holds up. But since it was not:

it's the fact that the stories look horrendously trashy.

See what I mean?

Everyone... please save the PMS for the toilet, okay?

Changed that for you so that it becomes opinion. The word "fact" does not mean it is fact. What something looks like is in the eyes of the beholder.

I can't tell if you're being satirical or not.

I was about to post something to this effect.

Now, generally I take the Guantanamo bay approach to everything, so if you can recommend me a visual novel that I would truly enjoy and I take the time to check it out, I may retract my misheld notions. You repeatedly suggested Clannad, but to be honest, while the synopsis didn't make me roll with laughter, I didn't find it particularly interesting. Are there VNs out there that are not, to quote Lupin the 3rd Abridged "Crying girls and snow crap"? That'd be a good start.
