I prefer the quirky guys that give you missions and talk to you on the radio over the weeping on repeat any day.

Exactly, with choices and a branching story. I have played VN since my early teens, whith classics like True Love or Three Sisters Story, so if I see a Youtuber fuck a paralytic loli I may buy the game to fuck her tomboy sister in another route. If I can only fuck the paralytic loli then it is not interactive, it is…

That’s only from Riot, the players then receive a wage from their team based on the contract they have. Also most of them have free housing.

Make it F2P already!

The game runs a check for online battle so there are no 999 stat pokemon, stat optimization is useful in high competitive but not so much on random battles. I think it’s great to receive things through wonder trade since you will mostly use them in Single Player.

Perfect stats are still in the legal because the game runs a check on them so there is no difference besides the aesthetics and the 900 hours saved.

Then quit making games and write books or something because clearly you don’t know how to make INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT.

Wrong, they were all pretty establish movie stars previously, they only agined more fame and geek recognition with those movies. Also you seem to be forgetting that nobody cares about who plays her besides the castin director, as long as she does it right and seeing as Asia is the biggest movie market and they love…

We are talking about a world post WWIII where USA became an empire causing massive migration, it is not to far fetched to see Japan becoming a multi racial nation. Also they can’t even film in Japan because GITS Japan doesn’t even look like Japan nowadays, it looks more like China or Taiwan, proof of the world changes.

Don’t sell them as interactive fiction then, write a book and sell it as suchm smashing spacebar to make the story progress is not a game, same thing that happened with the walking simulators. VN have a lot of interactive option and choices that make different routes different experiences.

If it was published in the US then falls under an US court even if the owner is Japanese, same reason we can’t have the Super Robot Taisen games here, because Gundam, Eva and Mazinger all have different licence owners here in America or Europe.

Yes but the copyright law in effect is the one of the country it is published, same reason we never had any of the Super Robot Taisen games except for OG, since Eva, Gundam and Mazinger all have different licences owner in Europe and America. Otherwise they should just block the video streaming to Japan something…

You cannot know what happens in a VN by watching just one playthrough, you would have to sit through several and it would be quite time consuming for you and the content creator in that matter.

The product is published in USA by an USA based company, Youtube did the strike because it has a bullshit automated system, he can then appeal the strike and ask for the copyright owner to go to court in USA to fight it, usually at this point the owner just releases the video and it’s back online.

Actually I play Visual Novels since they were mostly fan translated games, like True Love, Cobra Mission or Three Sisters Story. Now I still play them since they come to Steam (still waiting for the Rance games) so I’m pretty familiar with them. I can assure you that one without a branching story is just a spacebar…

Yes and no, Japan is a bit more loose regarding that, thats why doujinshi(parodies) is such a big thing in Japan and prohibition would actually hurt sales, or how you can reproduce educational books for use in public education and how you can make yourself a braile or audio copy of a written product to lend to a blind…

If your game it’s ruined (also your sales) only because of a lets play video, then your game was shit to begin with. Again I’ll say it, the best game of 2015 was DRM free and fully streamed, shared, spoiled, modded, etc. Yet it sold like hotcakes even today.

Luckily law has a different thing to say about it and many devs see things diffently. Also I don’t see many VN lets play that go through all the VN content, that would just take too much time.

Yes and no, if I want to see the art I go to CGV or E-Hentai as they have a huge aggregator of CG Sets for a lot of games, even new ones.

Not that hard to follow. Summer and winter tournament in each region, then you have Worlds with the best 3 teams from each premier region. Between tournaments there is the Mid Season Invitational featuring the top teams at the moment and between seasons you have the All Stars tournament with guests voted by peoples…
