Gameplay/Selections: Yay or Nay?

 I agree with what you say, especially about choices only changing 1 or 2 lines.

 

Especially if you are trying to 100% a VN. Remember11 has some of those, my "Clear List" is full of 97%-99% full scenes because there is always 1-2 lines that are connected to another effing choice.

Yeah, that really pisses me off    I have loads of them in Remember 11 with 98-99% or something as I have no clue what order to do choices in.

What really spurred my post was a part of Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate where there's one choice that looks as meaningless as all of the others, only changes one or two lines of dialog, and has no real significant meaning or impact in the conversation itself, but if you don't pick one specific option you're forced to receive a bad end once you reach that heroine's route. It even still lets you enter her route, it just doesn't give you the ability to dodge the bad end. It took me forever to figure out what I did wrong, I ended up having to read a guide to figure out one choice I made a long time ago prevented an option from appearing, and it made no logical sense whatsoever. Screewwww that. When a game is full of meaningless choices, it becomes too difficult to figure out which ones are important and which ones aren't, which can make things unnecessarily frustrating. IMO, it shouldn't ever be an actual challenge to reach the end of a game without gameplay.

The only one with a Gameplay i played its Sengoku Rance and i enjoyed it a lot the first time, got bored and finished the fights the fastest i could the second and thats all, so i cant say much, but i think its great to have them so you can play something different when you want to
