I'm playing eroge for the first time, but I'd like to ask you something. Let's say you play the game for the first time, the plot is quite interesting and you want to play it honestly (means without saves). What are you choices then? Are you trying to: a) empathize with the main character, pick choices proper for his character b) do it your own way, selecting an option according to your personal feelings c) think over possible consequences of a choice before picking one d) (?) Any other possible reasoning? Sometimes a) and b) just can't go in pair. Point c) I think is for the players that have certain goal in the game (scoring specific girl, having impact on some other matter). I'm asking the question because I don't really feel like playing the same single player game more than one time and I'm thorn between a) and b). As I play the game further I get the feeling of straightening the bend wire.

I'm playing G-Senjou no Maou now - the first position from desi' chart. Despite the fact I don't feel like my choices have any impact on the plot, the plot itself is intriguing. Now I'd compare playing eroge to reading a book, but... I wonder which one is better? I don't know If I have enough patience to experience every possible ending as this requires good memory and lots of saves. I consider eroges as a good way to eat some time, plus I am actually reading something deeper in English, thus widening my language skills. Once again, thank you for the introduction.

First of all thank you for your efforts. Now I have a good view of what an eroge is and where to find it. When I saw the "Visual Novel" term what came to my mind was the "Light Novel". I presume these two have lots in common in exception VN being interactive? I am hoping of wasting some time by playing.. yeah, a romance game which would have different endings based on the player choices and while I don't mean ero scenes, these aren't necessary for me. As a starter I will try desi recommendation chart. Will see if it proves to be addictive enough for a person bored of life.

My existence on this forum might be a teardrop in the wrong ocean so I feel a little faintly by spam.. making a new topic. Is there something you could recommend a guy who never played eroge? As the saying goes, you need to play everything in your gamers life. I'm guessing this kind of games are produced by Japanese studios, right? The eroge theme is often mentioned in anime movies. Do I need to learn Japanese before or maybe the games are released in English? Do you know maybe whether there are any English online stores which are selling translated eroge?
