Solemncollector 10 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I've never played an eroge but I'm ready to try, any recommendations? I really like romance though so that might help. Also I like petite heroines they dont have to be curvy haha (even loli is fine actually id like that too) thanks Sorry if this is the wrong place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PhiBrainChild 10 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I've started with Katawa Shoujo, so I'll suggest you that one. Other than that, welcome to the forums. Enjoy your stay here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otamegane 10 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 For starters i reaally recomend shuffle!, because is simplistic and yet a good one. But as VNhunter said, Clannad is a good option Quote Link to post Share on other sites

desi 53 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 how do you guys feel about playing ones not translated? is it a pain having to look up dialogue You can use a machine translator. Short and quick guide - here. As for playing games not translated, I wouldn't recommend doing it with complicated or story heavy VNs. Machine translators are best used for simple stories and nukiges. Its up to you in the end though. Don't expect a good translation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VNHunter 12 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 how do you guys feel about playing ones not translated? is it a pain having to look up dialogue not everyone here does that... I can understand japanese but I can't read or write it, I only know it by sound... I can only read/play some untranslated VOICED VNs and still needs the help of translators for the unvoiced parts and choices... But on my opinion, as you like what VN you're reading/playing, you'll still do it whatever it takes to read/play it even if it's untranslated... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solemncollector 10 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Oh i see, I can read (minus kanji) but my understanding is too little. what are your favorites? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deathfire123 10 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Shuffle was my first one and it introduced me to the ideas and concepts in eroge pretty well. It was a great read and its relatively quick(but not too quick) if you aren't patient enough to be reading forever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solemncollector 10 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 I see, well I guess tonight i will be on a quest to find a really good one with some modern tsunderes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneManArmy 82 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 For starters i reaally recomend shuffle!, because is simplistic and yet a good one. Another good visual novel for newbies would be hinatabokko. Short, not to deep and enjoyable (not awesome though). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Henta20 37 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I whould recomend Shuffle,Clannad,Kanon,Litter Buster, Wind Breath Of Heart and Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo, you can try these games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evenlaist 11 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 G - Senjou no maou is also a good VN. I love on how they mislead us, and also it's nice to play as a smart guy, not some weakling like usual VN. Stein;s gate too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solemncollector 10 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Also I was researching while playing Hoshizora no memoria and it seems thats just a basic light novel correct? abbreviated NVL right? then there are other kinds of light novels with a ADV which means it has more interaction other than once in a while choosing an option right?

ADV and NVL are terms used to show how text is displayed in a VN. ADV is what most people prefer.. this when the text is presented at the bottom of the screen... usually most VNs have a ADV type format. NVL is when there is no special window.. the text is pretty much laid out on the whole screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solemncollector 10 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ohhhhh alright I understand now, you guys are really helpful. sorry I'm such a noob haha. one last question then, is there a way to find how often I get to actually make choices? i dont mind the one i'm playing now but it seems like ive gotten two choices of things to say in the 4+ hours i was playing, and do some have other interactive points? like choosing who to talk to or where to go.

Well, if you want to know how many choices there are, you can look up a walkthrough of that specific VN. Some VNs will not have a lot of choices... other VNs have hundreds of choices. It really all depends on the VN you are playing. Usually a VN with multiple routes, you can choose who you want to talk to and pursue down their path. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well yea, just some forums are a little less welcoming. @desi ahh I see, ill just look for one like that then, I dont mind having less choices but sometimes in hoshizora no memoria it seems like ill be going hours before a choice pops up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
