Live long the queen and um Magick Diary are two I can think of, there was one sona le something, where the MC was in love with a monster but saw it as a beautiful girl (and everything else looked horrible to him) think that was a visual novel as well. Saya no Uta. Haha. It's definitely an experience, but it's not for prudes or the fainthearted. As for what qualifies as a VN; It's becoming a pretty annoying trend in gaming genres that everything that isn't a blatant copy-paste of a 30 year old game gets dubbed by purists as not fitting in a genre. Danganronpa is a VN. Plenty of "Rogue-likes" are just as good, or better, than Rogue was, and lots of games that aren't copy-paste of Wizardry back in the early '90s can still be a DRPG, et cetera. I generally look at what the game's main point is to determine what genre it is, and what most to compare it to. Like Danganronpa, or even Utawarerumono, qualify as VN, because that's the main point of the game. Sure, there's some puzzle or RPG elements in there, but they aren't the main point of the game, and take a back seat to the VN portions. Obviously, that's just my opinion, but it makes the most logical sense to me. --- I feel a draft on my butt... |

| DarkLaguna 01/11/20 12:02:00 AM #10 | I've played a ton of VN's. Mostly Eroge, but some of the best ones are. There's the censored all-ages verisons of most of the great ones for prudes, though. My favorite would be the Muv-Luv trilogy, though the first two are pretty average. It doesn't really start getting good until a fair bit into the third game, but, much like Clannad, you pretty much have to play through the bland setup to get to the good stuff. Also, Muv-Luv has to be one of the dumbest names for a VN; they literally could have named it "Alternate realities story with mechs" and it would have been better. =P The Danganronpa series is great as well, but the gameplay portions can be pretty annoying. You don't need a rhythm or driving minigame in a VN... --- I feel a draft on my butt... |

As for the topic title, no, I don't take very good care of myself, though I'm still pretty healthy because of physically demanding work and a fortunate set of genes. I don't want to or plan to live forever though; life is a pain in the ass as it is, never having an end to it would be torture. =P Besides, memento mori. Everyone dies. it's pointless and irrational to fear the inevitable. --- I feel a draft on my butt... |
