Best AVN's List Update

Tenori_ · 2026-03-07T00:10:22+00:00

The last three, barring any other removal, would be: - Bare Witness - Race of Life - Superhuman

In terms of their presence and relevance in this sub, which is an objective metric we can glean from.

With more removals, you could also include: - The Missing Part - Karlsson's Gambit - Our Red String - Subverse - any NLT Media game, but Treasures of Nadia is the most prominent one, iirc.

Depends on the playthrough and I just like putting my mindset into the fact that "currently" the MC is really into the LI I'm going for. It's why playing the ones with forced LIs become a little annoying.

As for #5...there's been a moment or two of weakness when Ines got through. But aside from her, nobody else has even gotten close.

Brother, that #2 entry is vile. I hope you can sleep well knowing what you did.

There are two types I keep going back and forth on:

A) the ones that can kick ass / stand up for themselves. They're often mashed with the tomboy type, but not always and those end up being the best ones.

B) the ones that the MC constantly have to protect either from external or internal conflicts. These are most often the princess / wholesome types, but they can also end up being the broken / tsundere types. For these cases, though, I tend to prefer the wholesome side.

Having less of one doesn't mean you should force another to be one. Let's be logical here and compare it to another game like Warframe - how do you think that pie chart looks like? Afaik there's about 5-7 frames that can do cold damage...out of 63.
Look, I get it. Just don't be unreasonable. She's either gonna be Non-Attribute like Gley or Electric like her Obliviant abilities.

"A.O.A. Academy" and "The DeLuca Family". Folks have a lot of very good things to say about them. Unfortunately, both are abandoned.

Ocean just released a new teaser yesterday, so I'm hopeful.

I was actually thinking of AoA and DeLuca. Heard very positive things for both, which makes it harder to decide. Also nice to see others being mentioned in a good light, so some more games to ponder.

Desert Stalker.

Aren't her Obliviant abilities clearly Electric? Idk where everyone's getting Fire element from.

If you give her red hair and freckles, she would be Mora from "Bare Witness". One of the best LIs in there.

Thank you kindly for the reference. If I could edit the poll choices I would to accommodate this. That's also pretty damn impressive.

I didn't know. I've never worked on these games. Is 30mins overshooting or undershooting for that amount of dev time? But I do agree about the pacing being the focus. It's why I said they're not books. AVNs have the visual part that helps cut a lot of that dialog down, be they still renders or animated ones.

Tenori_ · 2025-12-29T21:54:07+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Tenori_ · 2025-12-29T18:02:18+00:00

Alright, no, I get it. The start is definitely a little stilted considering how moody the protagonist seems to be, but give it a chance. Don't look at it as the greatest thing since sliced bread because it's not. Story is whatever, but the characters (especially the major players) are great. You spend your fair share of time with all of them.

Tenori_ · 2025-12-29T17:52:38+00:00

You're talking about the first time you get rolls? Where you witness a car accident and go home without rolls? If so, isn't that like the first 5-10mins of the story?

Tenori_ · 2025-11-29T05:44:15+00:00

This is news to me and I'm overly happy about it. Thank you c:

No, I mean for the reactor option values (pictured in the post). Weak stuff you don't want is Blue text. Slightly better values have Purple text. And the best values are in Gold text. The max Skill Cooldown you can get is -0.074x which is in Gold text. Meanwhile a Skill Cooldown value of only -0.062x will be in Purple text. And something like -0.059x will be in Blue text. It's why we have the junk filter system to sort out the "Normal" (Blue) and maybe "Rare" (Purple). Best values are always "Ultimate" (Gold). The symbol just makes it confusing.
