Who here plays them?

I like to pick them up at cons (they're expensive, ouch) and have a few downloaded. It's fun to try to nab all the scenes and...other things. Anyway, I am curious to see if anyone else on the board has an interest in them.

My girlfriend and I got one to try it out once and...eh.

Terrible. If you want to scroll past text of William James proportions and see a grand total of five facial expressions per character, be my guest.

I don't see any appeal in them whatsoever.

I heard someone in Japan married one of the characters.

If you're talking about visual novels too, there's actually a small group on the escapist, we stay hidden though since most people have a very negative preconception of this...kind of game ;)

It's like the rest of the genres frankly, some of these games are trash, some are good and a very select few are gems (yes, i'm looking at you fate/stay night!) ;)

I play them in a way similar to reading light novels rather than games. There are some fairly good ones out there.

I've played a couple of hilarous fan-made ones on Newgrounds. I think it was based on Love Hina. The girls were violent, bat-shit crazy, & my favorite one was always glued to a bottle of Jack Daniels.

I don't really like them, though I've played a few, just like how I don't like reading books on my PC. Which is basically what it is, a choose-your-own adventure book; choose certain responses and events differ.

Usually, though, the characters are annoying, so I can't really be bothered to click through a novel's worth of their dialogue when I don't even like them.

I've played one or two that were actually fun to read, because the characters weren't complete tools.

Well lordlee beat me to the punch, though I'll add reinforcements since we usually have seizure attacks over Japanese things.

I haven't played any dating sims per se, but I played some of Fate/Stay Night, a visual novel that is story-focused. On a related note, no, visual novels aren't all porn or "wank games."

Yeah, what is the appeal of trying to convince some retard with the mind of a robot to say "Oh I like you too" in terrible voice dubbing?

I've played some of them online when I have been really bored. Not much fun, other than that there is porn

I do not, and will never see the appeal. I like real women, thanks.

Also, I do not care for Anime.
