Lately I've been reading the shit out of visual novels 'cause I ran out of stuff to do and found I very much enjoy them, so my question is, does anyone else here read them and if so do you have any recommendations?

I recommend any on DS (or other platform they appear on). Another Code, Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk.
Phoenix Wright is probably the best visual novel I've ever played.
On Xbox:
Steins;Gate. Robotics;note I havne't downloaded yet but looks promising
I haven't gotten around to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/ (When They Cry).

I've actually been waiting for an English translation for Steins;Gate and I've taken a look and Higurashi no Naku ni but it seemed a little stereo typical for my taste (in other words your typical love story visual novel. Also don't get me wrong those are good but if it's too predictable and stereo typical I just get bored I mean hell I freaking loved Clannad and I'm really enjoying Little Busters! [the one I am currently reading] and it appears I've went off on a tangent) I'll have to check out Robotics;Note, it looks like it's from the same people that made Steins;Gate (judging by the title stylization).
Also a recommendation of my own is Fate/stay night. (just a little warning there are 18+ scenes in this one. Also before anyone gets the wrong idea I don't read these for that. )

I mean, I'm no expert about visual novels, but those games are closer from, like, Lucasarts' adventures then traditional do-nothing-but-dialogue-trees japanese visual novels, right?

Phoenix Wright is the best Visual Novel out there in my opinion, it's Capcom at it's best, meanwhile Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney Investigations 2 is Capcom at their worst.

Another Code and Professor Layton I'd consider visual novels but also can be part of puzzle adventure. Even if I'm wrong about the them being visual novel, they're still very good games regardless.(08-13-2012 12:03 PM)BumblebeeCody Wrote: [ -> ]My damn, the amount of visual novels games I've found on the Japanese Xbox Marketplace is insane.
