Do you play VNs that aren’t fully voiced?

[2DLoverx]

So I was curious about this! For me, I definitely prefer games to be fully voiced, I love being able to hear the characters' tone and get a better sense of their personalities. Good voice acting really brings a game to life, right? I rarely play VNs that aren't voiced unless the story and art style seem really good, and that doesn't happen that often. but even then, I still find them a little harder to get into, and sometimes I end up hesitating to even start them. What about you guys?

I do prefer voice acting (especially if the game isn't in English). The lack of it won't stop me from playing a game, but I did recently lament the absence a little while playing an older BL title. Especially since it was a humorous game, it felt the jokes would have landed so much better...

But I'm also an enthusiast for free/doujin games and I download a lot of stuff on Freem! that aren't voiced. Since they're on the shorter side it's not so difficult to finish them!

Having a fully voiced novel is nice, but why limit yourself? Not that I did any calculations, but there are probably more not voiced novels, than voiced ones, especially if we are talking about western games. I like reading doujin and free novel games too, and while they almost always have zero voices, there are true gems among them. Story is more important to me, than voice acting. If story is bad, no amount of good voices will save it

I don't mind it really, it's just like reading a book or a manga.

Good voice acting really does add a lot to a character though. I was playing the Chou no Doku fandisc recently and was really enthralled by how natural and charming Majima sounded.

Personally, I lean toward visual novels with beautiful art. Most of them don't take too long to play either, so I don't mind if they don't have voice acting.

If you get too hung up on whether a game has voice acting or not, you might end up missing out on some really fun and amazing titles.

I don't mind if its other genre but if its bl or otome I need it to be fully voiced

Voice acting is just a plus for me - it's always nice if it's there, but I don't mind if it isn't. I play a lot of indie stuff, so I guess I am used to non voiced games. It's not a particularly relevant aspect in games for me, either, I consider writing and art to be more important.

I can play games without voice acting at all because I pay more attention to the plot and character design of the game, and voice acting is optional and unimportant to me. Dubbing can better immerse the gaming experience. Without dubbing, I can read the story as a visual novel. As long as the plot is good and the characters are what I am interested in, I enjoy playing!

I have no issue with them, although I do think good voice acting can elevate a character significantly.

I share the same opinion as most, ultimately ; So long as the plots good, I don't mind either way. Just... not bad voice acting. I can't handle bad voice acting.
