If VN's are so great, suggest one you think I should play.

dies irae's common route is free, its english translation is fairly recent, and it's considered one of the best VNs period, so there's that. it's not super deep, just really REALLY hype

other good ones are Muvluv, Umineko, Himawari, Dengeki Stryker, YU-NO, G Senjou no Maou, Cross Channel, Clannad, Duel Savior, Subahibi (not out yet, but soon tm), Rewrite, Hoshizora no Memoria, Majikoi, Sharin no Kuni, Ever17, I/O, Symphonic Rain, Sengoku Rance, Yume Miru Kusuri, Period, Fate/Stay Night, Tsukihime, Grisaia...

it all comes down to what you're interested in. Want romantic drama? Key shit like Clannad or Little Busters, or Da Capo 2/3. Action? Dies Irae, Fate/Stay Night, Tsukihime, 11eyes; there's a LOT of actiony stuff. Literature that really makes you think? Cross Channel or Subahibi. Battles of wits like Death Note? G Senjou or Umineko are two more flavors of that. Like Romance of the Three Kingdoms gameplay? Alicesoft has a bunch of VN strategy games that are similar.

Want to just jump into what people generally consider "the best"? For the English community, that's Muvluv, Steins;gate, Umineko, Clannad, Fate/Stay Night, Dies Irae, Subahibi, and Himawari (and I agree for the most part, though Fate/Stay Night is kind of overhyped... it's fun, though). Subahibi isn't out officially yet, but it was being fan TL'd before it was offically picked up, so there's a very extensive partial patch out. And it's basically a mix of Alice in Wonderland with an acid trip, masked by a school setting.

It's really easy to just see a few VNs you find dumb and write off the entire medium like that, but please don't. Ever see regular people refuse to touch anime thinking it's for kids? Yeah... <_<

^ You see? That's exactly what I mean, VN's are mostly just dumb crap like that...

you realize that's made by English speakers right? the dad VN has no crossover whatsoever with "main" VN culture, if there is such a thing >_>
