| I've become really interested in Visual Novels and, more specifically, Dating Sims lately, so I'm looking for some of them. As long as it's good then I don't really care if it has any amount of M+ rated content in it, although M+ rated content is usually a plus anyway. Any recommendations? |

| Do you actually want dating sims? Or just visual novels where you date girls. Ichijouji_Touko said: Just mentioning that none of these have a complete english translation.Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai (by far the best game in 2014) Monobeno Hatsukoi 1/1 Hatsuyuki Sakura Amairo Islenauts A lot of the english translated ones: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130817195515/visual-novels-general/images/8/88/VN2013-08-17.png You can search using tags on http://vndb.org yourself if you feel so inclined. |
Ichijouji_Touko said: If you just want to try out a few eroge then there's no need to go that far. And there's nothing wrong with playing games that are a bit older.Why need translation patch when you got agth/ith? Tl patches are useful but are by no means any close to a requirement for playing eroges. Not really good in encouraging ppl to play outdated games just cause they are translated. I just assumed that op wants English translated games. Of course I might be wrong but from my experiences around here it is a safe assumption. |
| They dont make dating sims anymore. Just go ahead and let that dream die. Plenty of good VNs though. |
| I recommend Steins;Gate. It's the only visual I have played with good writing. (Not just good-for-a-visual-novel kinda good writing.) |

| Go for a good read and try Umineko no Naku koro ni. Otherwise maybe G Senjou no Maou is a good alternative, and it focus on girls and all that shit. |

Laniaka said: Either is fine but with a good preference on the dating sims. I like the decision making aspect of dating sims a lot.Do you actually want dating sims? Or just visual novels where you date girls. Laniaka said: I just want to understand what's going on so if there's something that's not fully English translated but I can still understand what's going on then that's completely fine too.

| Thread Moved VN stuff should be under the Games board, even if it's a recommendation. |

Ichijouji_Touko said: Because you need to know quite a bit of Japanese to use those, otherwise you won't understand anything (that includes machine translated gibberish). Whether it's worth to learn that much or not depends on one's dedication for the hobby.Why need translation patch when you got agth/ith? @OP As for dating sims, as it was already mentioned, it's a rather dead genre - you won't find too many new titles, so might as well stick to translated oldies, such as True Love or Koisuru Oukoku. That aside, you should know that there was only one actual dating sim mentioned in this thread so far - Love Plus - all other titles are visual novels (with a few VN/RPG hybrids). I'm not a fan of that genre, so unfortunately I can't recommend anything else. When it comes to VNs, what genre do you prefer? Just romance/slice-of-life-oriented stuff, or something more focused on plot than on girls? Well, either way, familiarizing yourself with VNDB and finding them yourself is the best recommendation here. :P |
| @Ichijouji_Touko Isn't jBeijing a JP -> CN translator? That one could work to some extent, I guess. Maybe. But, something tells me OP isn't fluent in Chinese. :P And when it comes to JP -> ENG machine translators, those basically spit out random gibberish. |
| Monster girl quest. Its my favorite game, even over all my childhood memories. |
 |
| I'm not sure if you would call them all 'dating sims' but they are all visual novels Grisaia no Kajitsu Da Capo II Chaos;Head Clannad School Days Those are just some of my favorites and all are English translated |
