Nosebleed Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 PC allows for better assets and performance. However if they ever manage to fully emulate a pc vn on a tablet, hands down the tablet would be better. So far PC wins. Quote
pedropars Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Definetely PC,i dont hate playing VNs on other plataforms but i´m much more confortable on my PC. Quote

Nosebleed Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Why I'd prefer a portable platform over a PC is simply because.. it's portable? You can argue and say oh but there's laptops. Well yes but laptops are freaking massive in comparison to a tablet and not comfortable to read for example while laying in bed. At least not for me. However most Android and iOS VNs are just crappier imitiations of PC vns and that's why i have to chose PC over tablet right now. But if they ever manage to bring a fully voiced VN with all the artwork into a mobile platform wether it be Android or iOS i'd definitely prefer them just because of the portability. Quote

EEE PCs beg to differ, if I put my detachable keyboard on my tablet it's exactly the same size as my EEE. Quote
neromercer Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I'd actually prefer to have VNs in PSP or my PSVita, but PC is still good. Quote
Nosebleed Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 EEE PCs beg to differ, if I put my detachable keyboard on my tablet it's exactly the same size as my EEE. I'm saying a tablet alone with no keyboard, just the handheld screen that makes it so portable Yes EEE PCs might be an exception and like i said PCs right now are better and i prefer them but just imagining having for example Little Busters, the entire novel, fully voiced, on a 7 inch screen alone. Now that'd be an awesome feat. Quote
Hoshizora Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I think the best platform for VNs is the PC but I also sometimes read some VNs on my phone. (It doesn't quite feel right though :/) Quote
Vokoca Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 PC, because of text-hookers alone. Â That, and since tablet/PC hybrids are a thing, you can enjoy PC VNs on a tablet as well.

Stanleys Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I still prefer the PC just for the fact that I'm more used to it. Also it's easier to get comfortable, at least for me with my laptop. Quote

WinkBlinkel Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Reading Corpse Party on my Vita felt great. The screen's large enough that it doesn't bother me to play on it, plus the vita is so comfortable to hold that it's easy to curl up with it in bed or on the couch. The large screen of a tablet is nice, but for some bizarre reason I don't like using touch controls to progress text. I have no logical reasoning for that, it just doesn't feel right. So I'd love to see more VNs on the vita, but with the PC being the dominant console I doubt that'll ever change. Quote

Now that'd be an awesome feat. Â Working on it! (not LB but an independent visual novel project for iOS/other platforms - the fully voiced bit has to take a backseat though as I've never liked English dubs) Originally the project was just gonna be for iOS, but based on this thread it looks like PC is an absolutely necessary platform for it. Which totally makes sense in the end. So it'll be for both. Quote
fantanoice Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I generally prefer my visual novels on the go, so having them on platforms like 3DS, Vita and mobile is my preferred option. Tablet more than phone for the bigger screen.Also, reading the thread, like, seriously guys, you can't hold a tablet for a few hours? Really? Like, I get maybe not a regular novel because they're kinda awkward to hold sometimes, but tablets are flat and light, not to mention you can get stands for them if you really must go 'hands free' :SÂ Despite how it might seem more handy to use a tablet or a smartphone, I'm fundamentally opposed to them out of general principle.What principle would that be?But if someone ever does an OS for tablets that gives you the possiblity to play natively any VN or at least the majority I'd be delighted.Surface says hi.

Clephas Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 PC because everything is more flexible on a PC. Consoles, portables, and even phones... are less so. Templarseeker 1 Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I don't have a tablet. Or a phone that connects to the internet. So I play VNs on the PC or laptop... Quote
Okami Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I always preferred PC over consoles for many reasons, mostly because on a PC you can do much more than just play games and become consoles eventually get old and you need to buy new ones but PC stays forever (Or at least until nervgear comes out).

dale Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 hmm... I think if new VN won't come out for new consoles it doesn't matter. You can emulate most platform on a PC. Quote
Guest hairybumslapper Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 PC's and the PS Vita, though as with most other handheld portables, there are not enough visual novels in english anyways, unless one can read Japanese. Quote
DeadIEnd Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 PC. I can't let people find about my powerlevel after all... Quote
Templarseeker Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 PC is the best platform whenever it comes to playing/reading visual novels or any other games in general! I do play some emulated PSP games on my Nokia Android Smartphone causally. However I'm much more at ease and pretty comfortable playing games with the PC, I couldn't picture myself using any other platforms for my gaming needs... There's a charm found that I couldn't able to explain behind the PC Master Race. Its like love, wherein you feel it rather than spelled it out if you get my drift or something Quote
