warm take: I generally like it more when VNs don't have voice acting
Quinneapolis
"Umineko--" I said generally
Quinneapolis
but my reasoning is
Quinneapolis
if there's voice i want to hear it
Quinneapolis
and I feel bad skipping it
Quinneapolis
and it reduces my reading speed by like a factor of five
Quinneapolis
and then I never finish the game
RobotApocalypse
honestly yeah
pixie lovemail
Umineko is the exception that proves the rule for this I think
pixie lovemail
because it's already so fucking long that hearing the voices doesn't slow you down too much in the long run
Quinneapolis
more like it's so long that I give in and skip the voice clips
Quinneapolis
if I listened to every line voiced it would go from 70 hours to 200 hours
pixie lovemail
looks at my 200 hr. time on the questions arcs on steam
pixie lovemail
yeah

This was me with Disco Elysium, which I'm counting here despite being an RPG/adventure game because mucho texto
Quinneapolis
this does remind me I should replay heart of the woods and skip to Tara's meltdown for the voice performance
Rama
The VA is phenomenal but I read like 3 times faster than anyone can intelligibly speak
RobotApocalypse
same here
RobotApocalypse
and it is frustrating to wait for the VAs to finish those line reads sometimes
Be Maki-Mine 💘
I need to be honest that I also enjoy skipping at times and have to own it lol
Quinneapolis
that's the problem! I don't like skipping, if it's there I wanna hear it
Quinneapolis
but then the game becomes so slow that I drop it
Quinneapolis
I can't win!!
dragon time
Hard same
oh i'm scary
the peak of this bothering me was FE3H for some reason
BattroidBattery
I'm a weirdo who just listens to the first two words of a line for general tone as a I read it and then hits skip with zero compunctions
