atorq Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hello there people. I'm somewhat new here, I, (there will be lots of I's here because lets face, I'm the one this is about) am a 21 year old human person(?) of the male type. I have been using the site for about a year for torrents and keeping an eye on translation progress and recently decided to create an account. And since I've got nothing better to do let me tell you about how I ended up on this site. It all started about a year ago, it was a cold Sunday in March, I was checking this little site called Reddit, maybe you've heard about it, and in the glorious /r/PCMasterRace subreddit there was a screen shot from some manga looking game with some text about how deep our glorious PC exclusives are. Now I'm not usually a big fan of manga and anime or Japanese stuff in general but something about this picture got me interested so I checked the comments and there I would find that this was from a Visual Novel called Katawa Shoujo. This was not the first time I had heard of Visual Novels, I had heard the usual "Japanese romance porn game" description and thought that it was nothing for me, because I am better than that. But when I read these comments I thought "hey, it's free and there is sexy bits, I like free and sexy stuff!" so off i went and downloaded this very visual novel I know I had looked down on others for playing. Later this Sunday I started playing and got surprised, this was not at all the sexy fun stuff i had expected but I kept on going and some hours later in the middle of the night I had finished Emis route. Feels had been felt like never before and I had found something I didn't know was there. I liked it a lot. After completing Lilly(best girl)s route I wanted to try reading another and stumbled upon this very site. Fast forward to today I have played 50+ VNs with some more or less completed due to various shitty/uninteresting plots or disgustingly annoying characters ("Onii-chan Onii-chan Onii-chan", shut the fuck up Chinami, nobody likes you anyway). Most of them 18+ as i tend to stay away from All ages due to my incurable perversion. I like mostly romance stuff, there not much romance in other video games so I'm glad that there is a lot to choose from. My favorite VN so far is Muv-Luv Alternative, big surprise I know, but Katawa Shoujo will always have a special place in my heart. Also, Grisaia no Kajitsu might be the most overrated VN in the world. That is all. ExtraMana 1 Quote

sub-zer0 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Welcome to Forums! I'm reading Muv-Luv right now...and the progress is slow because of extra...it's not that bad since the character facial expressions are really animated, but I'm not a fan of romance at all,and drama+romance=never for me, but luckily Mu-Luv is Romance+comedy, which is acceptable,otherwise I probably would have skipped it...but I'm really looking forward to TSF kicking BETA ass, I keep telling myself...as soon as I get this over with....just keep going man...I hope I will eventually get done with Extra so I can move on to the action., anyways, Enjoy your stay Quote

But how , I couldn't possibly understand anything of what is going on? Well actually Alternative does a pretty good job of setting things up, and the things you don't understand immediately you will understand sooner or later. I think because of this I appreciated Extra more than most people. Except for the lacrosse part, that still sucks. But I still probably wouldn't recommend doing it this way, because Unlimited kind of loses, well, everything. But it is absolutely not as bad of an idea as many seem to think. Also, Sumika Quote

Deep Blue Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Welcome And yeah grisaia it's a bit overrated, you should play sharin no kuni if you didnt yet it's much better in so many ways imo. Quote
