why people pay and play those games instead of watching hentais?

[Schwarze Rose]

really curious.. pls a non troll answer. thx.

Why do people watch a hentai when they can play a visual novel?

[Skylore72]

I guess for more interactivity and to make their own in-game choices as not all LP's will show the different choices, making alot of work over trying to find specific choices.

Why do people play Call of Dutys instead of enlisting into the army?

[Dellicious]

This has nothing to do with hentai

thank you for a serious comment. from all the reviews of those games i read that there are mostly not even a handful of choices.. is that really the thing that makes people play visual novels?

ah yea.. thats why 90% of the visual novels have naked girls in it.. maybe if they would make more serious settings with male characters more people would be interested in like skylore said interactive stuff with choices.. but for now its only hentai without sex

You can interact,basicly.

First, I vastly prefer the so called 'convenient censoring' (explicit stuff smartly hidden by other stuff like arms, hair etc. in front of it) over the fugly mosaic butchering done in those hentais.
Second, this game series has some gorgeous art style. In contrast, most hentais are drawn very very poorly.

But most importantly you might be mixing up the intention of consuming either a bit. I don't actually play the Sakura series to jack off or get some kind of arousal (as opposed to hentais presumably). I simply enjoy the beauty of the (female) characters depicted while following the story. It's like watching a really beautiful nature scenery, except it's female bodies instead of the nature lol.

90% of the ones you're aware of, you mean. There are plenty of VNs without such content, some of which are even on Steam, but they get overshadowed by ones like this.

i feel the only way vns get some attention is here in the west is through eroge games as others without such content just get pass by since they know what sells...(boobs and sex) sad but true. I just wish they would bring more non eroge novels or vns where h-scenes arent the selling point but add to the story but that's just my opinion.

So they can complain about AAA games being the same price for an actual game.

West? Really, you think Japan has to add sex and boobs to sell in the West? Are you high? Japan is a perverted culture, plain and simple.

[High Marshal]

not what i meant. I meant we only see the games full of h-scenes and no story or really bad story instead of the ones with really great stories.
