Visual Novel Community Thread: No Auto Read Required

This has nothing to do with PQube though since they're only the publishers.
Yeah, Japanese Switch version cancelled too :/ Wow that's pretty crazy.
Perfect for the Switch.
Visual novel is the only genre which I agree with that sentiment.
Maybe it just me, but wireless VR headsets are perfect for VN. Playing 428 while lying on the bed, on an Oculus Go is bliss.
Reading text is like the last thing I want to do in VR. I find any sequences in VR games where I'm not in control to be pretty unengaging, staring at 2D images and reading text with a headset on sounds like a bad time.
I dunno, VR VN sounds pretty interesting to me. Would make focusing easier, at least. Don't have a whole lot of experience with VR, though.
But yeah, what Shizuka said. It's an annoying meme by now, but I'd definitely play every single VR I'm interested in on the Switch if it was possible.

First time posting in this thread, hello. I'm interested in playing Steins Gate but I only play on PS4, so Elite is the only option for me. But according to people here the game isn't very good. Would watching the anime basically be the same as playing Elite?
Finished Fata Morgana. Loved it, and the post-completion Backstage extra was a fun and sweet coda. Will definitely be picking up the prequel at some point.
You can mute the protagonist in game, that's a big plus for me.
Why would you want to mute Okabe?
Anyway, Elite is a really frustrating release, but it is probably fine to go with if it's your only option. It's just not going to look as nice and all that. But you'll get Phenogram, so there's that... I'm probably still grudgingly buying it just for that, unless we can buy it digitally separately.
You could always just play on PC though (but I guess there's probably no Mac version?), or... your phone, I guess, maybe? There's may be some viable options even if you don't have PS3/Vita.

Yup. I always prefer VNs to have voiced protagonist because it means he/she is a distinct character rather than typical cookie cutter faceless mook. Guess it's matter of preference though; my first priority in reading the VN is to read a story, rather than immerse myself as the protagonist. It's probably why I like not only voiced protagonist, but also enforced route order & kinetic novel etc. that is indicator of linear plot. Others probably don't which is why they deviate towards VN that have greater choices and gameplay content.
Had not played VN for some times ( well except for Evenicle, but it's more gameplay than reading ) but after reading some people opinion on it I gave Sabbat of the Witch a try and it was really fun to play.
Made me want to keep that pace now that I can stream them on my phone with Parsec, currently giving a new try to fruits of grisaia, and I now remember why I previously stopped playing it. The pace is atrociously slow. Like reallllllly slow.

Is Phenogram a sequel? I imagine I need to play Elite and 0 first?
The problem I find with VR headsets is that they're really, really not designed for reading text, due to how it has to be displayed on a 3D plane. The smaller the text, the more the resolution negatively affects it, and the more cross-eyed I feel having to focus on it to be able to read it.
Very few games get text in VR right. It has to be bold and obvious, and VNs don't sit well with impact fonts and bolded text.
It's a sequel but it came out before 0 in Japan. In Japan Elite on PS4 came with a remaster of it; they're just weirdly preserving that here even though we never got it before, so it's being localized just for that? Which is nice, but... yeah, weird.
It's, to my understanding, more of a short story collection across different alternate timelines, from different perspectives and by different authors. IIRC there's some implication that parts of it might matter for the series going forward?
Our world is ended releases march 26.

PQube coming from Steins;Gate and Chaos;Child to Song of Memories and Our World is Ended. Spike Chunsoft securing that 5pb partnership really did a number on PQube.
By the way, how were critics of Zanki Zero in Japan? Normally I don't like survival games, but if the story is good I might buy it.
The talks from Visual;Conference 2019 are now up on Youtube:

For those who are unaware, these are talks by (mostly English?) VN developers, relating to various aspects of the development process and/or the industry. Lots of interesting stuff you care about any of these topics.

It is hilarious that 5pb tries to brand this game into another science novel (in the vein of Never7, Ever17, Remember11, 12Riven, Dunamis15 and Disorder6) by renaming it Judgement 7: Our World is Ended. They really want to sell this game, huh.
I'm pretty closely following the development of a western VR visual novel and I can assure you with the right setup it's significantly more engaging. First time a character made actual eye contact with me was crazy.

Digital only or am I just blind and cant find it on ps4 on amzn?
No, it isn't digital only. Weird that it isn't available on amazon.
I hope that a physical release will be published in all Europe, not only in UK. In that case I would buy it.
Nor on Best Buy or Gamestop... I guess there's no LE on Rice Digital, or else I would've got that.
Does anybody know how to check your playtime in Danganronpa 1 on PS4? It's driving me insane.
Don't think so, maybe I'm blind.
I finished the game yesterday and there were many WTF moments. I'm starting the sequel tonight ASAP, because hopefully some questions that aren't explained in the ending will be answered.
I can't stop listening to "さくら、Reincarnation" of Sakura, Moyu lately. What is your favorite opening theme (or video) of VN?

You are accesing the savegame from the main os menu? iirc it shows date/size/hours played or at least in some games it does.
posting it here as well, apparently C;C map is untranslated as well on PC
Tornitus from Gahkthun and Trinoline opening for me

There's already a patch for that for JPN version, the team has said they will port it for the Steam version.
(Same team that did fixes for Steins;Gate and Steins:Zero)
Ugh, because one thing Dies Irae needed was to be even longer...
