They can be fun... ... but they're usually pretty poorly made and mostly just annoy me. The worst part is when they're very repetitive and you can't skip them. For example, I like rhythm games, but only the simple ones, because I have a terrible sense of rhythm :(

It depends on how long ago I played the previous game. I usually remember the plot of whatever I've played, unless it was really boring. But in that case, I don't really feel the need to play the next one anyway :tongue:

Generally, I'm open to different art styles. I like it when a game looks nice, but sometimes I'll choose something with less polished graphics if it makes up for it with its characters or overall story. BUT, there's one case where I just can't bring myself to play it: big eyes in the style of...

Generally speaking, I don't like spoilers. But if I happen to come across one, it usually doesn't stop me from continuing to play or read. Every now and then, if I'm not sure which direction the plot is going, I prefer to read a spoiler so I'm mentally prepared for what's coming ;). Okay...

I think having 5 main characters and maybe 2 hidden routes is actually fine. It's hard to craft a good story spread across so many characters—unless the main route is the longest, and the individual characters' stories are just short (and short stories are usually unsatisfying...). And yeah, the...

I bought a Switch for Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Pokémon, and otome games. Later, I sold the Switch to a friend and got the OLED model. Now I have a Switch 2. I play the Switch 2 on my TV, and I use the OLED mainly for otome games (because they look better on that screen) and smaller J-RPGs.

Every now and then, sure. Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of dramatic storylines just for the sake of drama. It's true that I prefer stories with a supernatural twist, but sometimes I like to read something about ordinary problems. Not about saving the world, redeeming souls, or huge...

Slow burn. Always. Bonus points for enemies-to-lovers. Maybe it's because I've been a fan of Jane Austen for years, especially Pride and Prejudice (even though I don't really like romance novels and hardly ever read them). Of course, everything within reason. I liked Tokimeki Memorial Girl's...

I usually try to finish a game completely before starting the next one. Maybe not always 100%, though—for example, I don't try to collect all the illustrations (if that requires consulting the walkthrough too often). The exception—games like Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side. For these, I just...

No, not really. I have a few favorite voice actors, and I can recognize a dozen or so others while playing (though even then, I couldn't name them off the top of my head), but that doesn't determine whether I'll play a particular game or not. For me, having a favorite voice actor in a game is...

It... depends? If the translation were of good quality, then probably yes. Even if only to support future projects. But if feedback or reviews suggested that the translation was poor or misleading (Fire Emblem Engage is, unfortunately, a good example of this), then probably not. Unless, of...

Those characters from Hakuōki who decided to become I can understand that Okita didn't really have a choice because of his health, but the rest? They did it just for the power, even though most of them tried to justify it with higher motives. Well, personally, they didn't convince me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BL isn't really my thing, but wow, this game looks really promising. I think I'll add it to my Steam wishlist and check it out for myself—maybe it turns out I've just been picking the wrong titles, and it's not that I don't like the genre as a whole :D

I'm a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope. Although I know it's a silly trope from a realistic perspective and usually doesn't reflect well on the characters' mental health ;). I think it's a bit easier to portray this in books or TV shows; in games, it seems pretty difficult to me. I mean, you...

I think it's a really cool idea, and more games could use it. It lets you experience the story from different perspectives. And if you don't click with the main character, there's always a chance you'll like one of the other characters better :). Norn9 really surprised me at first, because the...

As a rule, I don't play any mobile games, and this is exactly one of the reasons why. Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, and Tales of have had some great games, but I don't see the point in investing time and money in something with an uncertain future. You play and play, everything's great, and then...

Actually, in all games—not just visual novels or otome games—I choose the voice acting that matches the country of origin. I probably remember too many instances of truly awful English dubbing from the days of niche J-RPGs on the PS2 ;). It seems to me that English voice acting in games is...

I've always loved books, games, and anime/manga, so getting into visual novels was a natural progression for me ;). And then I was a teenager, so handsome virtual guys were an even more obvious choice. :giggle: So, I came for the hot guys, but I stayed for the interesting stories and diverse...

Maybe not such a huge shock, but Hakuoki and the option to choose:

If it's a biological brother—only in a platonic sense, as opposed to the other romantic routes. Alternatively, a storyline involving a possessive brother who protects his sister from the wrong kind of guys, which could also be interesting. In other cases? Probably not... Adopted siblings...
