So it’s just a coincidence this feature was started right after she got complaints about her speaking so definitively about visual novels despite not playing any of them? If so, fine, whatever.
But if it was started to branch out and build up her knowledge, she’s doing herself a disservice by just playing random crap people recommend. All you have to do is watch any of the various GB streams where they play games people vote on to see what kind of crap people recommend.
Which is why I said do some research. If they just play what’s recommended, they’ll just play Hatoful Boyfriend, Doki Doki, maybe Katawa Shoujo, and some steam ren’py games. Hardly respresentative of the genre.
If you’re only planning on playing meme games and American-made Ren’py stuff, what’s even the point? Figured this series was made in response to the Dream Daddy “controversy” where Abby said the game was genre defying despite her never playing another VN, but all these games do is reinforce her opinion.
That doesn’t even factor in that visual novels are notorious for taking hours to get interesting, so playing the first hour of various games will do nothing but leave you bored. You wouldn’t just read the first fifteen pages of a book or watch the first five minutes of a movie before moving on to others books and movies, would you?
Sure, it’s nice that GB is trying something different for once, but at least put some effort into it. Do some research. Look at games that are widely respected, games that actually defined the genre. Don’t just browse Steam and grab meme games made for YouTube and ren’py games.
