One hour is more than enough to judge a game

I disagree. I haven't played it in a long time. I moved to different games and because I need space for exciting games I bought recently for my vita, I may even have to delete it and then probably never play it. So yes, they have failed. In this time and age where we are surrounded by so much entertainment and so many options, this slow approach doesn't work that well any more. Maybe some time ago when I had one game and that was it, I would have palyed it and loved it. Now, I just don't see it happening; same with many others (I am aware that some people have more patience, which is a good thing).

It's the difference between a visual novel and other kind of "easier" stories used in other genres. A visual novel is closer to a book, it can take some time to introduce the characters, the setting, get you used to the "normal" situation, and then mess everything up. This kind of stories is slower to start, sure, but has a lot more depth IMO. Some people like it, others don't, but visual novels are niche games after all and are not made to please everyone. Steins;Gate is one of the most acclaimed visual novels there is even with this slow start, there is a reason for that. 

 

Different kind of games and stories for different kind of players, that's all! 

Maybe you're right. Maybe the genre just isn't my cup of tea.
