But seriously, no point trying to explain VN's to people outside the loop. They aint gonna get it.
Well, I mean I can try. It's half of why I made this thread, and to try and get people interested in them, the other half being I wanted a place to actually discuss them besides just the Anime Discussion Thread, as theres a lot more to VN's than Anime after all. VN's don't even have to have anything to do with Japan or anime to be a VN.

But when I put this Jack Flac said :
Visual Novels. Story driven
games
in which masterful tales are woven using a combination of sound effects, music, character sprites, backgrounds, and CG's.

in the first post, and people still call it an anime, I do admit I begin to lose hope just a little bit.

I finished updating my VNDB profile. No doubt I've missed a lot of visual novels, but I'll add them as I come across them:

https://vndb.org/u115185


I didn't think I had played that many and I definitely have missed some.

Just took a look through, Mahou Shoujo Itsuka, Rance, Viper GTS, a lot of the ones on there are ones on my backlog that I am trying to get ahold of. Interesting how similar our tastes are. Leader of The Enemy ||

I spend too long reading the randomised quotes at the bottom of the page on VNDB. I think I spent like two hours earlier refreshing the page and trying to remember where each quote comes from.

Has there been any official releases of VNs recently that haven't sucked?

I was interested in Kyuuketsuki no Libra. However I've heard the localisation has been awful. Terribly translated and they've locked a lot of the scenes behind paid-for-downloadable content.

People wonder why I mostly pirate or buy Japanese versions of VNs/Games and patch them myself, it's because official releases are generally terrible messes.

I know, right? Brilliant feature.
Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

Mangagamer and JastUSA are about the only ones I trust to put out good localizations when it comes to VN's. Sekai Project can be decent if it's not an H-game, but if it's an H-game they're localizing, expect them to butcher it by removing all the H-scenes, no matter how much it may impact the story if they do so.

And then charge you $10 to put the H back in as a DLC...
Consider yourself extremely lucky if that ever happens with Sekai Project. They are the 4Kids of VN localizers when it comes to H-games.
