Message: [QUOTE="DanVzare, post: 181567, member: 24290"] Honestly. I just can't get into them. They're too much like novels and not enough like games (not that I've got a problem with novels, it's just that I prefer to read books on paper rather than a screen). I'm ok with lots and lots of reading. But I usually lose interest once I've gone over twenty pages worth of text without a single choice popping up. I legitimately start to wonder if I've misinterpreted what a visual novel is, and that there aren't any choices in them, and that they are literally just visual NOVELS as the name of the genre implies. But then I read about multiple endings, so obviously there must be some sort of choices somewhere down the line in them. And I really did try to get into them... multiple times... with different games. It's just... where's the game? Mind you, I did really enjoy Otogirisō. Although that game gives you a choice every couple of pages of text (I suspect that's due to the game's age and space limitations). Until you get close to the end, but by that point, you're fully invested. I also rather enjoy visual novel elements when they're in other games. So I've got no problem with them on the whole. I'd just prefer a bit more choosing and a little less reading. Hmm, I really need to find myself a visual novel which not only has English voice acting, but also has the main character's internal voice dubbed as well, so I can just listen to it all like a radio play. I might be able to do handle that long enough to get invested. So if anyone has any recommendations that fits that bill, that'd be perfect for me to try out. :D [/QUOTE]
