Michiru best girl.

Kei best girl

I LIKE LOLIS!

The poster above me has shit taste and you should avoid the game he's playing.

Shit girl, worst grisaia

me and my cats

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.

Lemme get a turn with one of your slaves

Childhood friends aren't the brightest.

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

She'd make a great mom

>one of the most immersive story telling mediums to its full potential
Milf?

Older than her.

...

Is not loli, is book.

...

Why do you people keep replying to him

She already is a good wife in her own route.

There needs to be more cakege.

There needs to less of you.

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.

I want a loli

Why shouldn't they?

...

Was this the best VN of 2016?

^_^

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.

>vn
it's a shitty meme game, literally garbage

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.

>Fate/Stay Night is kamig-

Oh boy this is my favorite debate here

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.

/Reddit/ with you chunige.

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.

Which one do I go after next?

>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.

>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.

Someone sounds upset.

What did he mean by this?

I am the bone of my post.

He meant no eceleb shitposting UNLESS it is about Irru or Trip[/spoiler.

In Wagamama, go with Mihoro. It's pretty cute. Best wife.

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

You going for the mini or large sister ?

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.

Surprisingly, Toa was actually the worst girl even though she had the BR imouto status.

Do this one's.

>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.

Perfectly osananajimi routes don't exis-

>/r/visualnovels is making fun of us again

That frontwing ama was literally pointless holy fuck, fellow redditor.

Good to know they've got relevant discussion going on.

How about you do us a favor and stay there?

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.

...

worst girl

What did he mean by this?

...

quality fan translation this is why we need sekai to buy them

Those tits will never not look disgusting.

His dad is R07.

She's too fucking cute. Best shortstack.

That's a nice opinion
>Shortstack
She's a normal high school girl. I don't know where you got the idea she's a shortstack.

>Oni-chan is God tier
Uh..what?

I don't remember any onis in wagamama?

Every now and then I heard Sango.

they need to re-do the art for this game

the only titty monster that's cute is Ashe due to her personality

>"The madam is having an affair."
this fucking BITCH

Easily the worst character in the game.

I'm reading Hatsukoi. When do I get to tease Maya back. The bantz are too one sided at the moment

Finally finished all the events of a character, this required 2 playthroughs, this game is so long.

Name literally one thing better then the naked apron. I'll wait

Virgin killer sweater

>that OST
youtube.com/watch?v=phboVbQawV4&list=PL1cFLEd7jERztNiN43JVOSP_kEzJaFlWn&index=29

If that pissed you off though, wait for this fucking cunt.

I like frilly maid dresses

sweater with no bra

This.

Also "shirt just barely long enough to cover crotch".

nontraditional miko with long stockings and geta.

Full body burqa

Almost never but it's never not in jest.

Also makes her genuine moments that much more gratifying.

Lingerie w/ Garterbelt

normal clothing

What are some VNs with MCs that don't act like complete fucking idiots?

Stop reading moege

Muramasa.

Where else do you find VA's giving confessions about wanting to grow old with you?

Ai Suru Tsuma, Mariko ga Rinshitsu de Dakareru Made ~Anata ga Shiranai Koto, Kare ga Takusan Oshiete Kuremashita~

...

There are moege that have MCs that aren't idiots. It's just hard to find

I shouldn't have done her first. She easily had the best route in the whole VN. Only Ashe's was as decent

Which game is better? Free Friends 1 or Free Friends 2?

>womb tattoo / mark
sign of a thot

2. Definitely. 1 is still good though.

Just play them both, they are not very long

S&M

button up shirt only

How about you retards discuss some GOOD VNs
