Do you `play' VNs or do you `read' VNs?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 19:53:29 2011 No.7854469 I hit the autoplay button and watch them.

>>	Yasu Sat Sep 10 19:54:28 2011 No.7854472 YOU LIVE VNs

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 19:56:01 2011 No.7854483 >>7854472 hahaha, what a loser!

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 19:56:01 2011 No.7854485 I read them and play with myself just like everyone else.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 19:56:01 2011 No.7854489 I play them.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 19:57:03 2011 No.7854496 >>7854466 You read them. Exceptions being stuff like Sengoku Rance.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:02:29 2011 No.7854514 They're games, you play games.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:04:28 2011 No.7854521 They are novels, you read novels

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:04:28 2011 No.7854524 >>7854514 They're novels. You read novels.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:06:55 2011 No.7854542 >>7854535 チルノ。

>>	Sakura !RAILgUnr8s Sat Sep 10 20:07:25 2011 No.7854550 >>7854466 I use both interchangeably.

>>	Original Poster Sat Sep 10 20:09:54 2011 No.7854560 >>7854542 So that would be /tʃɪ.ruːnoʊ/?

Depends on the person. Some people read VNs and don't really care much for the choices. Some people play VNs and pick the choices they actually want to pick instead of the ones they think will advance the story.

Also depends on which one you're playing. Some don't have any choices and some have a choice every 5 minutes.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:13:53 2011 No.7854579 >>7854535 "Chir" like in "chirp" "no" like in "no way"

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:14:55 2011 No.7854585 >>7854560 CHIruno

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:14:55 2011 No.7854586 >>7854524 you can read some games too but that doesn't make them novels

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:15:52 2011 No.7854593 >>7854560 That's how a japanese would pronounce it, but since you are (supposedly) gifted with the ability to pronounce two consonants in a row, go with: /tʃɪ.rnoʊ/

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:18:22 2011 No.7854602 >>7854579 As opposed to Chir like "Cheer"?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:19:52 2011 No.7854607 >>7854535 Sir-noh

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:22:55 2011 No.7854622 >>7854602 "cheer" is a long sound, it should be short.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:25:53 2011 No.7854632 You "read" a novel.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:29:58 2011 No.7854648 >>7854635 Jesus fucking christ I want to hate you for being stupid but I will blame it on your nurture. You "see" books as well, but you "read" them.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:30:56 2011 No.7854655 I say play, since you can apply it to all of them.

>>	ZUN !barYV1VtIA Sat Sep 10 20:31:27 2011 No.7854661 They're Japanese adventure games. You play games.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:32:27 2011 No.7854672 >>7854648 I was being playfully silly. I'm sorry that it upset you. Let's be friends from now on, okay?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:32:27 2011 No.7854673 I put on auto mode and just watch whatever is happening on the screen without actually reading anything.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:32:56 2011 No.7854674 You relay them. A combination of read and play. For eroge see: fap.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:32:56 2011 No.7854676 You play Zork, so you play VNs.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:32:56 2011 No.7854677 Unless you are a weeaboo, the fact that the Japanese view them as games should not matter. In Western culture, they are considered novels. Gameplay aspects are played, stories are read. It's really not that complicated.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:35:58 2011 No.7854696 >>7854655 What about VNs without choices? What are you playing?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:36:27 2011 No.7854700 >>7854696 I'm roleplaying

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:37:57 2011 No.7854710 >>7854677 It's not like we have text based adventure games in the west or anything.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:39:26 2011 No.7854719 you play with your penis there for it is a FPS

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:41:55 2011 No.7854734 >>7854707 Are you playing a book because you turned the page?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 10 20:51:26 2011 No.7854811 >>7854734 Of course you aren't because you're not interacting with the text. In VN's case you are. It's minimal gameplay, but it's still gameplay.
