Do you prefer playing on a portable device or on PC?

[osanajimimi]

Honestly, i'm a fan of a big screen and being at my desk. i can't play VNs in bed because i get sleepy, and the font is so small. I wish more otome games were on PC, with releases across multiple platforms instead of being limited to the Switch.

I play on my laptop, so I can play sitting or lying down anyway; it would be impossible for me to read a visual novel for that long on a console because of my vision problems.

 

[voIuvreles]

Portable devices for me!
My gaming laptop is heavy asf. Big screen is a plus yes, it allows me to admire the art in better screen dimension, but gawdd it feels like a hassle to just... open my laptop and play VN >_> That, and I had to find suitable place to play.
So I prefer to play with emulators on my phone or on my Switch I can play whenever and wherever.

I don't use game consoles that much, but I play PC and emulated games on my iPad through streaming them on there through Moonlight and Sunshine. So technically another vote for portable.

Really convenient for me to stream games onto my iPad since it doesn't have that much space while my PC does and I don't have to repeatedly transfer back and forth files. Also, I struggle to read on my dual monitors due to how they're like one of those old monitors and my left monitor is far away from my vision that I mostly look at my right one lol

I much prefer playing on PC, though sometimes I play on my phone when I want to emulate DS or PSP games, since I find it more convenient

I prefer to play on my Switch because I don't have to sit at my PC, but can still play on a large monitor if I want. So I can play wherever I want and still be able to continue playing on a bigger screen when I'm just sitting in my room.

I prefer gaming on my PC because it helps me focus better.
But sometimes, when I just want to lie down and play, I'll switch to using my laptop or something similar.
I don't really play on my phone, though—I still prefer having a big screen.

I don't have any strong preferences, but I like to play on the Switch/Vita when I want to relax on the living room, and on my laptop if I'm in bed. I don't have a desktop computer though, so more or less I only play on "portable" devices ;b

I'd say my only preference is that I don't like emulating Switch/Vita/PSP games on my laptop, and I don't really mind the smaller screen (even though I'm nearsighted lol)

 

[Altorese]

i prefer playing on portable devices. I didn't have PC for a really long time and now it's hard to get used to it, it feels like a hassle as mentioned above if i have an opportunity most of the time i use switch or tablet for emulators.

PC for Japanese learning because the tools are easier to access but I like to be comfy with my Vita or laptop otherwise.

In my case, I want to relax and enjoy the game anywhere in the house, so I've only ever played it on a portable device.
I'm surprised by many people are enjoying on PC.

 

[Vanemoon]

I LOOOOOVE playing any games in portables.
I find more comfortable changing position 50 times in bed while I play instead sitting still to do it

 

[stupidadsxce]

I prefer to play it on portable device but sometimes palying it in big screen (???) make different vibes like I can see them more clear and bigger

 

[ichigomilk]

I love both! I love the convenience of portable devices since I can play in my bed and anywhere I want, but I also love playing on my PC because of the bigger screen. I play using a wireless controller on my PC and I play a lot of rpgs, especially jrpgs, as well so it's just as convenient and comfortable. PC is also nice for learning and translation tools!

 

[SmallEagle]

Weirdly, I play VNs exclusively on my PC, perhaps I should try using my switch, but at this point I'm way too used to my PC.

 

[Pancito]

Personally, I prefer playing on a handheld device because it's much more comfortable and I can play wherever I want. That said, I have to admit that the artwork and CGs look much better on a larger PC screen, so I think both have their own advantages.

 

[Kyouri]

portable!! I want to be able to be comfy in various positions! plus, I work on PC all day as it is lol

 

[judahslove]

Both r okay for me !! As a Switch/ Laptop and psp / psvita player i feel more used to portable devices ( most otome games r on these ) but i also like playing in my laptop!! ( even if the only bad side is that i cant play in my bed… i have to stay on my chair )

 

[Akumo]

If I like a visual novel, I'm willing to play it on anything—even on a tree branch x)
But overall, I prefer PC. I often come across visual novels that require an on-screen translator.

 

[MooMoon]

Defiantly portable! Being on the PC for long especially for visual novels where I'm just reading, start to be uncomfortable for sitting so long. I could lay down when on portable which is just more comfortable to be in as I enjoy to read.

 

[oandcksfb]

I think I'd prefer playing games on PC!
It seems like it would be so much fun to play comfortably on a big screen.
Back when I had a pretty low-end PC, I owned a separate handheld gaming console. But these days I spend my entire budget on my PC, so I haven't bought a handheld console.
At the moment, I mainly play mobile games, and I've actually never played a console otome game. But if an otome game that matches my tastes gets released on PC, I'd definitely love to give it a try.

 

[RedLipsSourApples]

Ever since I learned how to connect my PC display to my Ipad I never looked back. Portable all the way.

 

[winterberry]

I like both but I think I prefer PC, the bigger screen is better for my eyes. But if I want to play somewhere I can't take my laptop or it's too heavy I prefer portable.

 

[majimakun]

I prefer PC. After all, playing games for a long time in the same position is tiring regardless of the device. PC usually have larger screens, which makes it easier for me to get immersed in the game. It is also suitable for using a translator.

 

[haiane]

I mostly use my gaming laptop for its versatility. It has got larger screen, is relatively mobile, can handle emulators and translation software simultaneously with ease. It's convenient running a game in one window, having a walkthrough opened in second window, browsing in third etc. If you want to play some uncensored titles, PC is your only option as Switch/Vita/Portable releases are censored. Consoles are a waste of money to me. I also use smartphone for Android gacha-based games, but bigger screen is a preference.
