I mean unless they removed that reason from the game entirely it still kinda matters!

Sure, but as someone who doesn't even know what that reason technically was, I don't think I'll notice!

I haven't read them but apparently the Polygon and Kotaku reviews dock points from the game because the issues discussed in a game that has been in development for multiple years don't exactly align with the issues that the world has experienced in the last few months, which seems both outrageous and hilarious.

Well, a place such a Playstation tweet do seem like the places where only the worst group of people would talk about the leaks of this game.

Yeah I don't know why anyone would read them and I kick myself everytime I do.

Anyway, I'm glad the game seems to be good, regardless of the reason people thought it wasn't! The reason itself doesn't really matter at this point.

I tried to stay away from all conversations, like I said, but on multiple occasions I forgot and forayed into the replies of a Playstation tweet and was met with anger about all the lesbians in the game.

My perception is skewed towards the type of people who angrily reply on Twitter, which honestly does seem pretty representative of the worst the internet has to offer.

Also a whole lot of Ulti's in Twitter replies with the "SJW pandering" nonsense, which still holds true to my original comment .

I have tried to stay away from conversations about this game to avoid spoilers, and so from my viewing of a few comments the internet led me to believe that it was bad. Turns out the internet just hates women and LGBT and the game is actually great.

The pre-order is back on the table.

The house I grew up and usually live in has a massive water tank and relatively poor water pressure, which means that the hot water never runs out, which is great because I love to take extremely hot, long showers.

The place I'm currently staying at now uses gas to heat the water, so while the water doesn't ever go cold, the gas does eventually run out every couple weeks, often at the worst time. Nothing like just hopping into a shower only to realize there's no hot water and you've gotta go outside and change the tank. It has also significantly cut down my shower time knowing that there is only a finite amount of gas to use.

In conclusion, I am devastated.

This but if there's any chance of a PC game eventually coming to console I'll wait it out rather than play it on PC.

You would probably like 428 then! It uses live action shots instead of anime characters and is a fantastic story overall.

Oh shit I'm super into the live action stuff, even if it's really cheesy. Did 428 get given away for free on PS Plus? I feel like a few VN have.

The House in Fata Morgana meets your criteria and is the highest rated VN on this list that isn't a sequel.

Yeah this is probably #1 on my list.

I really want to give Ace Attorney another try, partially because I can get it on PS4 where there are trophies, but I don't want to hate myself while playing it or just resort to using a guide to get to the story beats.

Or if you like thriller/horror type stuff, then go with Higurashi or Umineko, but just know there is literally no interactivity with those two. It's just clicking from scene to scene

Horror in this genre sounds great, but I feel like I need at least a little bit of interactivity to keep me engaged.

You mentioned the gameplay in Ace Attorney getting streamlined in future installments. Does any of that include the issues I had with it? I didn't hate it, I just wanted more court and less banging my head against the wall at certain points. The story/characters are great, but I don't just want to watch a playthrough of it because, again, I need at least a little bit of interactivity.

I'm looking for Visual Novels that are more strictly interactive experiences and less puzzle/adventure games. I didn't grow up with the classic "click everything on the screen and use every item in my inventory" adventure game, so I have no nostalgia for it and just find them frustrating. I don't want an inventory.

I loved the court parts of Ace Attorney, but going around and finding the clues was kind of hit or miss. It felt good when it all clicked but it was very frustrating when I couldn't figure it out and had to resort to the aforementioned "click everything on the screen".

DDLC, where there are choices and I'm interacting in small ways was a great experience.

I bought the Phoenix Wright Trilogy on 3DS a few years ago and committed the greatest B8 sin by not liking it all that much after finishing the first game. I haven't tried any of the others, though.

+10 Final Fantasy VII

+8 Red Dead Redemption 2
+7 NieR: Automata
+6 Life is Strange
+5 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
+4 Final Fantasy X
+3 Mass Effect 2
+2 The Walking Dead
+1 Red Dead Redemption

Only my +1 didn't make it in. My list is pretty cookie-cutter but I guess I just enjoy the big games that are known to have good stories, that's kind of my thing.

I think the top 10 ended up looking pretty fantastic. Despite only giving FFX +4 I'm cool with it winning. Honestly it was very tough to place everything from +10 to +3 on my list, and on a different day they might have been ranked differently. The bottom two are the only ones that I couldn't see moving up.

Time to try some Visual Novels.

I just wish Visual Novels weren't all filled with anime characters. I like the genre but get turned off by the stuff that's too anime-like.

I've been perpetually too afraid to play FFX-2 to completion because I need to get 100% completion on my first playthrough because that's just how I play games and taking a step in the wrong direction means I lose 0.1% somehow and it's bullshit.

I even tried following a guide step for step and somewhere along the way missed 0.1% and swore off the game forever after getting to CH3 for the 5th time.

I mean yeah I wanted them higher, but come on. You can't beat pure mainstream popularity. VLR likely making the top 10 is more than I could have hoped for TBQH.

Hey, I loved DDLC! I'm not opposed to VN's for sure, although Umineko does make my eyes gloss over when anyone starts talking about it.

I'm mostly poking fun. 'Weebs' are an easy target to make fun of, but I myself appreciate the content, so if anything it's a little self-deprecating.

I agree that FFX doesn't deserve to win, and while it did end up on my list, it got a real low score. FFVII is a different story though, so I decided to poke fun after your comment.

No harm intended!

When I think of 'weeb' I think of:



Final Fantasy being made by a Japanese developer has nothing to do with it being a 'weeb' thing or not. The term has mostly evolved into anime 'ayaya' stuff.

"I'd rather have a Final Fantasy game than some weeb game" is funniest sentence in this topic so far.

AI can definitely teach a class, but having a human being to connect with as a teacher is an invaluable thing that cannot be replicated, especially at the K-12 level.

I have a question for those of you doing rankings...

Are you ranking the games' stories or the actual games as a whole?

My 'best games' and 'best stories' lists are similar at the top because some of my favourite gaming experiences revolve around a good story or good characters, but there are a few of the ten games I submitted to this that probably aren't in my top fifty in terms of 'best games'.

Oh, there was one of these programs that just recently streamed on Twitch called ProjektMelody that got massive viewers that sounds like what you were describing, although I think it was more of a hentai thing (which I'm sure is part of it). Not sure if that's considered the same thing.

VR Chat on Twitch seems like it's almost that as well, with people creating their avatar and role-playing as it in different scenarios.

I've never encountered it on Youtube, though, but I try not to go down 'recommended' rabbit holes.
