Do you have a friend/friends who are also into eroge/VNs?

[Arco 10]

I've heard of both cases, but I'm curious to see just how many of us have found comrades in our real lives that play eroge as well. As for me, I don't know anyone who plays eroge and I don't think anyone else knows I do. Must be nice...

[Jikendor 10]

Well no, I don't have any friends actaully. For some reason people don't like being around me.

[erogeking 15]

as far as i know none. it wouldn't be that odd if i found out they played eroge seeing as my friend group all like anime i would say theirs a 40% chance that one of them has ever played a eroge but i have no idea it isn't like i can just ask them if they have played eroge before and if i did ask what are the chances they would answer honestly i know i wouldn't answer honestly if they asked me.

[Jikendor 10]

I am the lone protoganist of my life.

[Phanteon 11]

Yeah just one.

It's fun playing together but then she usually not around anymore. Forever alone?

[Jikendor 10]

I bet I know why it is "fun" playing with her.

[Phanteon 11]

I bet I know why it is "fun" playing with her.

 

Hey back off dude. We only play Non-H VN's

my mistake.

[Jikendor 10]

Why the crap would you do that? Embrace the dark side Luke!

I assuming this is you right now.

Whatever. i still have another chance

[Caelistas 12]

It is possible that some of my friends also play eroge's, but just like we don't discuss about which porn we watched yesterday i don't think they'd come out and tell about visual novels/eroge's.

[Ryu 15]

Only 1 and shes's a girl haha, but she likes more otome/yaoi games so we don't have much to talk about.

[Exsilon 15]

one Otome girl and other guy Anime fan who play VN sometime

[OneManArmy 82]

None; you are the lone protagonist of your life with no supporting characters.

Sadly I don't have any friends who are also into visual novels. Hao~

[Arco 10]

Hmmm... It seems like there are several people who have friends tht they suspect play as well but don't know for sure. Looks like I made the poll too restrictive hehe. It also looks like having a group of friends is second in the poll, but nobody has posted with a situation like that, so who knows what that must be like.

[desi 53]

None for me. I really want them to try it but i have no idea how to approach the subject. I have close friends but most of them aren't really the gamer types. If they do play games its usually call of duty, etc.

[Maxar 13]

No, I don't.

I'm all alone, with my tastes in Music, Media, and Games.

But it is not like I really care.

I read Visual Novels alone anyway, and I hate to listen other people's opinions about stuff I like.

[Haika 12]

I think visual novels are traditionally considered a solo activity. I know not every VN is adult rated, but the stereotype says there's a high probability. With the way the games straddle(no pun intended) that line between porn and 'acceptable' media, the stigmata that we have as a species and our modern cultures keep us from discussing our games to people we know in real life.

 

Maybe it might come up in a serious romantic atmosphere like a date, where I was trying to learn about someone else and they me, but just like sexual fetishes, it's not really something I would bring up in casual conversation. As open and understanding as I'd like to think I am, I know I'm rather withdrawn and anti-social.

 

It's a bit funny how some people think it matters. Personally I'm much more open and can discuss such things online, I don't really need the awkwardness and culture shock from the people I know locally if I tried to discuss those interests with them.

[cerxer1 11]

I agree with Haika. But there are still times when I would like to talk to someone about a really funny scene in an eroge, or which character you like best (anyone from protagonist to side character). You know, to enjoy a good laugh. I admit it's a fleeting feeling, but it doesn't go away that easily.

 

From what I wrote you must have figured it out, but I like to state the obvious so I'm gonna say it anyway: I do not have any friends whom I play eroge with (had to say concerning the main point of this thread)

[Makoto Nanaya 10]

 

indeed i do....xD

[Jikendor 10]

*Sigh* What is the point of friends?

[SaruDa 11]

I've gotten 2 separate friends into eroge...Possibly 3, come to think of it. One came for the story, got the H as a bonus. Two others came for the H, stayed for the story. It's like sharing porn, it's really not that unusual.

[Jikendor 10]

Not unusual, but often leading to places it shouldn't (or should depending on how you look at it) when people watch porn together.

[Nobu 12]

One actually, o-o a girl who is probably more of a perv than me, that says something.

[Jikendor 10]

Well, we do not knnow you at all, so what it says we do not know.

[Seraphic 13]

Haha, I introduced my group of friends to erogedownload, effectively ending their lives.
