/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Some of those shitty nukige JAST localized probably.
Like fuck if I can remember back that far though.

Please use the VN general for questions like these.

Thank you.

True Love

>>12780390
But that's a sim, and we all know everyone's first sim was ganguro girl.

Bishoujo Mangekyou -Norowareshi Densetsu no Shoujo-

>>12780385
Fuck off, not everything needs to be condensed into general threads.

Saya no Uta
It was pretty cool but people overrate it.

Ever17.
And it blew my mind because I was expecting shit and instead got shitty quantum physics.

Sakura snow or something like that, the one with the cousin.

Amagami EBkore+

The reading level is pretty good for starting off with.

>>12780373
Mistress best Nocturnal Illusion

>>12780373
Katawa Shoujo

>>12780502
My nigger. I'm still mad they never bothered to deliver on her backstory/past and just went hurr amnesia instead. I really want to know how she became the head of the household in the first place.

This thing.

Katawa Shoujo was my first VN
Yume Kiru Kusuri was my first Japanese VN

>>12780605
>filename
But thats wrong.

Chaos;Head for me. Is kinda flawed, but overall an enjoyable experience, and I can't wait for Noah to be translated.

>>12780634
I remember people simply despising this girl. Who is she based on anyway?

>>12780401
>same Newgrounds generation as everyone else
>mfw still have never played Ganguro Girl
I've fapped to other shitty Newgrounds stuff, but never gg

>>12781178
>>12780401
Simgirls was my first

>>12781095
Chibi-usa?

hatoful boyfriend

>>12780469
Same except I got my hopes up while reading it only to have them crushed.

Yume Miru Kusuri
Kinda a shit VN in retrospect, but at the time it was so weird and foreign to me that I thought it was the most amazing thing ever
>you will never have the same feeling as you did when you played your first VN

>>12780373
Kana: Little Sister, if I remember correctly. I cried.

True Remembrance. Still haven't read anything better than it.

Narcissu

Forced Feels: The VN but it was enjoyable for what it was

Togainu no chi. I don't remember why or how it was my first.

Memories Off 2nd

Technically I guess it would have been Radical Dreamers in 2003 when the fan translation was finished. I didn't even hear the term "visual novel" until much later, though.

Clannad was my first VN that I recognized as such.

Eng: Saya no Uta
Jap: Dramatical Murder (Now I feel like "dramatical" is a real word...)

Memories Off 1st

>>12780373
words worth

>>12781282
Same here.

Love Hina Advance

Yu-No, when it came out.

>>12780373
The first true visual novel style game I played was Bible Black. What a doozy to start with.

The first dating sim/gameplay element one was True Love.

Because I'm a fucking casual I played Katawa Shoujo first. If you don't wanna count it then Narcissu was my first.

>>12782087
The first one was just called Memories Off.

X-Change, in late 2003.

>>12780528
Same here.
I just randomly stumbled upon it while exploring "100-in-1 Best Hits"-like CD (compilation of pirated games of course, there were no legit CDs back then over here).
I still remember how mad I was for not getting the true end/middle sister because I couldn't refuse the other two.
Come to think of it, my 2nd and 3rd VNs most likely were Nocturnal Illusion and Divi-Dead from the same CD.
Only much later I found out that these things are called visual novels.

>>12780373
Same. Man, that VN had horrible pacing issues. Basically the first girl was written way way better than all that followed. It's like the author suddenly realized he was way over his head.

>>12786156
I agree with you on the pacing, but if you seriously think Maya was the most well written character you need to replay it. I think the general con-sensuous on /jp/ is that Sari had the best written character arc whilst Yura had the worst. Best girl is Mistress though.

>>12786156
It is the problem that comes with having to jam in sex scenes in order to keep the horny teenagers happy.

>>12787020
I remember during the sex scene with Sari I felt horrified knowing they were doing it next to a passed out and half dying Yukina. Clearly fucking is a more important priority than helping the girl who is slowly bleeding to death.

Fate Stay/Night.
I loved it.

Memories Off 1st

Only VN I've ever played was Katawa shoujo, and I first played it about a year ago. Was in a pretty rough place then anyway, and decided to play it again yesterday. Really loved it tbh, made me think about a lot of shit and actually got over first relationship about it
>tfw sounding this beta
Don't even care anymore, anyone know of any VNs similar to Katawa Shoujo?

>>12781200
No way. Looks nothing like that pink haired midget.

>>12789918
Flutter of Birds.

>>12789944
Thanks, I'll check it out

>>12787997
Talk about hittin' the ground running

>>12789948
I was so engrossed when I started playing it that I ignored every email, instant message and other form of human communication until I finished it.

Probably Little Busters.

It was hot shit on niconico for the longest time, and I had to check out the game that produced that OP. Next after that was MLA, then Muramasa, and then Baldr Sky.

I'm probably niwaka incarnate as far as VNs go.

>>12790022
Wait, sorry. LB was second. The first was Higurashi.

>several True Loves and Noctural Illusions but no Season of the Sakura
What the hell guys? Those were my first three. I stayed up all night going through SotS.

>>12780373
Kingdom, Brave Soul, and Let's Meow Meow were my first

They still hold a special place in my heart

>>12790081
Yeah, but Three Sisters Story came out first, and was smaller in file size, which meant a lot for 56k connections.

I wonder who here remembers the Reycava or the Plasticman sites.

Paradise Heights

Immoral Study

>>12790383
The first was good, the second and third not so much.

>>12789918
>Only VN I've ever played was OEL
That's great for you, now you can read pretty much anything and it will seem incredible by comparison.

>>12783537
I was told that Divi-dead's translation was kind of retarded and made you misunderstand the why of the ending.

>>12791540
Nonsense. The worst steaming pile of shit that I have had the disgrace to "read" was Pro Lesring Out. I have yet to find a poorer effort.

>>12791709
Forgot my pic

>>12780528
I hope you remembered to USE A CONDOM

>>12791748
I discovered after that event that you could edit the save file directly, and change the variables that managed that, thus sparing you the pain of playing the game all over.

Now I am a CS engineer.

>>12791756
Also, there were some other variables in the game, regarding the other two sisters. If you had sex twice with them both, then you got the other Bad(?) End. I laughed for days.

>>12791775

>>12790372
Same here
This art is amazing,

You play PC98 games, /jp/？

>>12790383
Oh I remember this! I think, at least. She looks very familiar to me. I miss it.

>>12781294
I thought it had the right amount of world-building for a VN that size but the story wasn't particularly compelling. What exactly did you like about it?
