Description from a scientist of loli lovers: >The frame is stunted and weak, the muscles undeveloped, the eye is sunken and heavy, the complexion is sallow, pasty, or covered with spots of acne, the hands are damp and cold, and the skin moist. The boy shuns the society of others, creeps about alone, joins with repugnance in the amusements of his schoolfellows. He cannot look any one in the face, and becomes careless in dress and uncleanly in person. >His intellect has become sluggish and enfeebled, and if his evil habits are persisted in, he may end in becoming a drivelling idiot or a peevish valetudinarian. Such boys are to be seen in all stages of degeneration, but what we have described is but the result towards which they are all tending.

This is the ideal female body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Shes 18, right?

Loli-shit is the main thing stopping most VNs from utilizing one of the most immersive story telling mediums to its full potential
Levi Foster
She'd make a great mom
Connor Lee

Older than her.

Kayden Thompson
She already is a good wife in her own route.
Mason James
There needs to be more cakege.
Dylan Miller
There needs to less of you.
Logan Adams
I agree. We need high quality loli. Instead we get 2-bit loli that's added in without refinement. Hacks that can't write proper loli are what are killing the medium.
James Perez
I want a loli
Levi Smith
Why shouldn't they?

Hardly.
>only story route is shit >MC is boring >interesting side characters get almost no focus >tacked on drink-making is too complex to be mindless and too simple to be engaging
All it has going for it is the art, music, and aesthetic.
Jeremiah Jenkins
>vn it's a shitty meme game, literally garbage
James Bailey
I haven't played it but >"Bartending action" is literally in the fucking title and the tagline is talking about the bartending gameplay >The actual bartending is still somehow tacked on Yeah dude, ugh I just hate the tacked on gameplay in Kamidori.
Hunter Campbell
>Fate/Stay Night is kamig-
Ayden Green
Oh boy this is my favorite debate here
Tyler Carter
Not him but I haven't played it either but something being in the title doesn't necessarily mean it's good or developed.
Compared to actual games, Kamidori actually is pretty mediocre. The reason it's held in such a high regard is that people didn't expect for a porn game to have half decent gameplay.
Isaiah Robinson
/Reddit/ with you chunige.
Xavier Rodriguez
None of that is relevent because "tacked on" means they literally tacked it on afterwards, which is obviously wrong when the gameplay was half of the purpose of the game. Kamidori's gameplay was also not tacked on and was always intended to be a gameplay VN so your opinion on how good it was isn't worth shit here.
Liam Martin
Which one do I go after next?
Nolan Ramirez
>Low budget (no VA, no CGs....) >Story is garbage >Characters are shit >Artstyle is pixelated trash >Gameplay is boring and has no depth
Is a 3/10 at best.
Thomas Gomez
>I haven't played it
Then why would I ever give a shit about your opinion on the matter?
But I'll humor you.
It's poorly-developed and feels tacked-on. The title isn't an accurate indicator. The game's focus isn't on the bartending, it's on the characters and how they interact. The bartending is only a means to an end. It exists to pad the length and give the player something to do.
If it was actually in-depth like Papers, Please it would be interesting but it's as basic as it gets. You have the recipes right in front of you from the moment the game starts, and you have no time limit. You can also fuck up as many times as you like as long as you don't actually serve the wrong drink to the customer. There's almost no room for variation or experimentation. You can count the amount of times you're supposed to read between the lines and serve something other than what the customer asks for on one hand.
If tacked on isn't suitable then I'd say it's pointless, because all it does it eat up time. The fact that so much time is spent on that in a game where the story ultimately goes fucking nowhere is beyond disappointing. It's hardly the game's biggest flaw but it's probably the most pronounced one.
Angel Campbell
Someone sounds upset.

He meant no eceleb shitposting UNLESS it is about Irru or Trip[/spoiler.
Aiden Gutierrez
In Wagamama, go with Mihoro. It's pretty cute. Best wife.
Jace Jenkins
I didn't add my opinion. I'm saying that saying it's tacked on is wrong and retarded. /vn/ likes to say a lot of shit is tacked on when it's not solely because they don't like it, most notably h scenes and gameplay, and I just don't get it. >Knows he's wrong so he defaults back to insulting
Brody Allen
You going for the mini or large sister ?
Liam Moore
The concept of being the bartender at a bar, which is what the MC is, isn't tacked on, but the actual gameplay is.
If it isn't, and it's as shallow as it is by design, then the game is just very poorly designed.
Jose Sanders
Surprisingly, Toa was actually the worst girl even though she had the BR imouto status.
Charles Perry
Do this one's.
Logan Gomez
>VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action (also sometimes written as Valhalla) is an indie bartender simulation video game with visual novel elements If anything is tacked on, it's the visual novel part.
Jose Price

Brayden Sanders
That frontwing ama was literally pointless holy fuck, fellow redditor.
Michael Price
Good to know they've got relevant discussion going on.
How about you do us a favor and stay there?
Jonathan Scott
If the Visual Novel part, which is the only one who has a semblance of quality, is tacked on, then the whole game is garbage.
Thomas Johnson
