What a mess.

It's over

Basically nothing this week, minus the announcement of Danganronpa being officially translated.

>>11901455
Look on the bright side, at least only one of the machine translations on the list had 'progress.'

Shouldn't Hakuouki and Xblaze be on here?

>8 projects updated
>1 machine translation
>2 no translation progress, only editing
>3 translations progressing at less than 1% a week
>1 ixrec

Looks promising

I/O is coming out next weekend and Ayakashibito soon.

So even after all those proofs regarding machine TL usage, you still haven't removed these? Are you paranoid due to fuwanovel getting mad at you removing them from the list?

ixrec is going so slow with comyu.

I hope all translators quit and no Japanese VNs are ever translated into English again. Fuck EOPs.

>>11901632
Most non-autistic people realize how shitty they are after the 2nd or 3rd though. I can't believe anyone bothered spending so much time translating them at all

Here boys, more bait:

>>11902078
you could just leave this thread entirely if you learned japanese

>>11902078
We can wait for the autist to post about how I/O and Ayakashibito are the greatest things ever because they're mature adult games for mature adults like him, not like all those kiddie games.

So closed yet so far away.
Didn't wav say anything about the future of this translation and a new partial patch?

Last week's thread had a lot of Umineko discussion. Like, A LOT. What was up with that?

>>11902390
There's a new doujin game from the same guy, and western fans are ecstatic.

>>11902390
Shit taste, don't try to make it start again.

>>11902078
Last thread hit bump limit. We have plenty of things to discuss, we're just usually not discussing them.

>>11901499
They're aiming at next weekend. Given their previous estimates, I'd say don't get your hopes up. Personally I'm not expecting it to release before March.

how come no one ever comes into these threads and spoils all the eroge being translated?

well, from a glance the only thing really worth waiting for is subahibi and having that spoiled would be shitty.

>>11902489
This isn't /a/.

>>11901632
Same, but so I can finally get the motivation learn moon.

Someone's retranslating Flyable Heart? lol

Sayori's Root Harem got leaked it's out already.

>>11902546
>retranslating
No, someone is translating it.

>>11902724
It is already translated, even the fandisc is translated.

>>11902770
>google translation

>>11902770
It was literally machine translated. You'd get the same result by just attaching ATLAS in it. Following your logic, every single VN which can be hooked is already translated.

>>11902776
>>11902792
you fools, machine translators can't translate into both american english and british english.

>>11902798
Go to bed Cudder, not even VNDB recognizes machine TLs.

It's Twinkle Crusaders.

Anyone familiar with the kirikiri (v2) sigs?

TL in process of TLing here and it turns out the the game is missing some voice files. Not in the sense that 'the character wasn't voiced' (Sekien no Inganock), but in 'this voice file is blatantly incorrect'. It looks like what happened is the line before it was split out incorrectly and overwrote the other voice file that was suppose to be there.

So, we're trying to verify that the copy of the game we have is correct (as in the signature of the data and voice files match what the company published and so this would be a genuine mistake), but both TL and hacker aren't familiar with how to verify the signatures. Anyone able to lend a hand?

>>11903811
You mean how to get a hash?

Have you tried Google?

>>11903860

I can't attest to what the hacker's done, but I've searched what I can think of. If there's a straightforward explanation of what's going on with the files that'd be fantastic.

>>11903869
First, I don't understand why you would even need a 'hacker' if the engine's kirikiri. What does he do? Download the tools and then double click them?

Second, is your theory seriously "someone unpacked the files, accidentally fucked them up, repacked them, created an install disk, and then distributed it?"

>>11903882

I couldn't say, I didn't do it. What I can see are .ks text files, which where somehow pulled from a data.xp3 file.

This is process of elimination, the particular line is in the middle of one of the girl's major plot-related scene and we'd like to avoid cutting it if possible. If there isn't something wrong with the file then it's an honest mistake by the publisher and we'll just have to live with it.

>>11903882
Not the guy you're replying to, but most non-doujin Kirikiri games are encrypted, so it's a bit more involved than just downloading the tools and double clicking them.

>>11903096
God, I hate him so much. The translations are so shit.

>>11904000
Yeah, I'm glad he doesn't finish 90% of what he's working on. Nor does he pick up anything worth playing to begin with, thankfully.

>>11904000
All translations are.

>>11902489
Nagisa dies

>>11903096

Must be Himegari.

Having not play/read the fan translation, was Danganronpa originally this dry a read? After playing Virtue's Last Reward which was pretty fun to read and hear, dangan is pretty dull as far as writing style goes. I'm only up to a day or two after the first trial.

>>11904056
If you're going to read a translation, why do you care about the writing style?

>>11904066
Just kind of curious if it was as dry a read in its original language.

>>11904056
is Virtue's Last Reward better for the 3DS or the Vita?

>>11904079
I played on Vita and it played great. I hear the 3DS has gamebreaking bug that can be avoided if you're aware of it. The 3DS might be easier to play with the note feature on the bottom screen where on the vita you have to change screens for the note pad.

>>11904056
I'd say it depends on the character, really; some are just more interesting than the others. The plot is great all the way through.

Now that they announced the sequel, I guess I have no choice but buy a Vita.

>>11904079
I played it on 3DS. In fact, I actually bought a 3DS solely for that game. I heard the control scheme was utter shit on Vita so I avoided it.

Unfortunately, the 3DS version contains several game-crashing bugs (painful when you forget to save for several hours) and a fatal save-corrupting bug. It also has the downside of containing only one save slot, whereas I hear the Vita version has three(?) Having Alice's tits swing around in your face in 3D is nice and all, but you'd best save yourself the frustration and get it on Vita.

>>11904023
I think you got your sarcasm crossed.

>>11904086
>>11904111
sounds like I'll be getting it for the vita then, screw bugs

>>11904056
I thought the fan translation had good personality to it, though a few localization decisions did bug me. (One skit stood out that was basically rendered completely incomprehensible without honorifics, and they didn't even try to localize it or anything.)

>>11904141
its nicer with the big screen on the vita too from what ive seen of 3ds images.

the puzzles were made with the 3ds more in mind though it seems. nothing too bad tho

>>11904056
I played the fan translation and it was fine, most characters had personality and different ways of talking.

It could just be NISA being shit again, they usually make up translations in order to make it more xDrandum.

>>11904117
I think you got your idiot crossed.

>>11901436
No Rance 4.2? You were recording the 4.1 progress.

>>11904056
>>11904281
I fear what they will do to Super Danganronpa 2 then because that was one hell of a ride when I read it, far way better than 1.

>>11904309
It will probably be raped, and we won't even have fully voiced japanese audio to figure out how much of it is NISA's made up shit.

NISA is the enemy of all Japanese games.

So how is NISA's translation, anyway? I only read the fan translation.

>>11904636
"I put on my robe and wizard hat" - NISA translation

>>11904636
any translation of danganronpa 2 will lose the fact that it makes references to things that have never been translated, but dgr2 still deserves better than nisa

>>11904636
I played Neptunia and to be completely honest, 50% of the lines are completely made up bullshit that goes to the extent of actually changing the character's personality.

>>11904745
I believe it. I've been playing through The Guided Fate Paradox recently, and the translation varies between being hyper literal and awkward, and taking liberties so extreme as to border on mistranslation. And in fact, there are an embarrassing number of outright errors as well. It's a shame, because it's a rather nice game that deserves better.

People like to complain about the state of VN fan translations, and for good reason, but frankly a lot of professional translations are no better, especially when it comes to more niche titles with small localization budgets.

>>11904791
I don't think it's "a lot" of professional translations. Just NISA's, for some reason. And unfortunately, it's NISA that does most of the "niche titles with small localization budgets." I don't know how they get away with it so often.

I miss the days when Atlus did niche games more regularly. They still do some cool ones, but not nearly as often as they used to.

>>11902489
You cannot spoil retarded shit which is 95% of translated stuff. All moeges are so damn similar, that you already know everything which will happen in every of them if you completed at least one.
Out of all future releases, I think only I/O and DGR2 are somewhat spoiler-sensitive.

>>11904636
They translated クロ as "blackened" in DGR1. Thats "worse-than-machine-translation" tier.

>>11903096
Moogy said he was looking for hacker last month, and Doddler signed up for it.
So yeah, its new non-jast project, and non-Eushully since Kamidori tools would work with other games.

>>11905267
Well kuro does mean black. Even if it is fucking stupid.

>>11902489
>>11905265
Both SubaHibi and I/O have the same "sensitive" spoiler. All of their different protagonists are the same person with multiple personalities. Same for OreTsuba and every overhyped "real deal!1!!11" kusoge out there. And no I'm not sorry at all to have spoiled that shitty, overused plot twist that only impresses teenagers.

On the other hand, DGR2 is quite entertaining, so you can at least look forward to that.

>>11904939
>I don't think it's "a lot" of professional translations. Just NISA's, for some reason.
NISA is bad, for sure, but it's not only them. I've spotted some pretty dumbass mistakes and what-were-they-thinking localization choices in Tales games, for example.

>>11905744
You are a horrible person. You should be ashamed of yourself.

>>11905776
I blame my multiple personalities.

>>11905744
At least in subahibi they aren't all the same 'person'.

>>11903219

I'm surprised this game never made it to the west

>>11905748
Like what? I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm curious since I haven't played a Tales game in a while. Maybe only a certain part of Namco is to blame.

If it's the Kangaroo thing though, I'd like to think that game was just an exception and they were lazy about it because the whole game was lazy.

>>11906694
Why would it?

>>11904791
>>11904939
>>11905748
How and why do you know this stuff?
Do you play the games first in japanese and THEN in english?

Seems to me like you are wasting a lot of time.

>>11906707

Seems like the sort of thing NISA would localize.

>>11906714
Based on their long history of localizing pornographic visual novels?

>>11906696
Lots of games have dual audio these days.

>>11906712
Lots of games have dual audio these days.

>>11906717

Well it also has strategy elements too and there are so many spin-offs.

Honestly though I didn't even know about NISA's existence until recently. I hadn't played non-eroge videogames since 2007 until recently.

>>11906730
>there are so many spin-offs.
There's one.

And one fandisk.

Do you have any idea about anything you're talking about?

>>11906731

Pretty sure Twinkle Crusaders is a big franchise

>>11906734
I'm 100% sure that you have no clue what you're talking about.

>>11906736

I'm pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about, Twinkle Crusaders has its own radio show and a manga. Thought so.

>>11906736

You should stick to your translated Visual Novels

>>11906738
>>11906742
You've already convinced me that you're an ignorant dipshit. I don't need further evidence.

>>11906743

Says the guy who thought Twinkle Crusaders was only a Visual Novel and nothing else.

>>11906717

GoGo is all ages on the PSP and has many turn based strategy elements. It's just the kind of trashy shit they would translate and localize to appeal to the kind of shit-eating weaboos that think Neptunia is good because it has an anime girl on the cover.

>>11906748
No, you moronic retard. You know what doesn't have a manga? Almost nothing. Little Busters has like 15. It had at least three before the game was even released.

By the standards you have set down, which are "has a port, has a fandisk, once had a brief radio show, and had a brief manga" then nearly fucking everything is a 'big' franchise. Baldr Force is twice as large of a 'franchise' by your definition. Not the Baldr series. Just Baldr Force.

>>11906765
You've already admitted that you know nothing about NISA, have no idea what accompanies every single moege that gets released, and know next to nothing about the industry. It's time for you to slink off.

>>11906766

So now you're moving the goalposts because I called you out on your lack of knowledge?

>>11906769

I've been playing moege since you were in your dad's scrotum, sonny. Trust translated-only fags to think they know everything because they played Rewrite or some shit.

Robotics;Notes is so much cooler than Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head, yet nobody has even attempted a translation of the VN. Why is that? Are they scared of the awesome 3D models?

>>11906771
I'm moving the goalposts forward for you by supplying the knowledge you need to not appear like an imbecile in the future. You could at least be grateful.

>>11906783
It's shit. Chaos;Head is better.

>>11906765
Twinkle Crusaders has a fuckton of text to translate. NISA ain't got time for that shit. And the gameplay elements aren't that big a part of the game anyway. It's mostly just a moege with good humor and high production values.

>>11906712
Seems to me like you're not much of a gamer if you have a problem with people playing games they like multiple times.

>>11906784

>implying you know more about moege than me

That's a funny one. I bet you can't even tell me who Witch are without looking at vndb or some other source.

>>11906801
Who are you quoting?

>>11906803

:^)

>>11906783
First, it's a console game. Second, it's not very good.

how can masterpieces like Otome Switch go untranslated? Where is God in all this?

>>11906832
It just fucking came out, christ.

>>11906832
How would you know it's a masterpiece if you can't read it?

>>11906832
Otome Switch is terrible, the loli and older characters don't get routes, only the boring teenagers.

>>11902390

Well, RGD and Higanbana both got translated recently, plus RGD3 is moving really fast, so it's natural that people would think about his other works.

Higurashi doesn't really have as much to talk about.

Plus, a lot of newer readers haven't gotten to discuss it while it was going-- or they would have to discuss it at terrible anime forums where people spam red and blue text and are barely literate Malaysians.

>>11907435
what, how do you know that they are malaysians?

>>11906866
It's probably not the case for this person, but some people could be saying "Man, since I know Japanese I wish other people could read this game I really liked, but I don't have the time or resources to translate it myself." Like Gore Screaming Show, which is also pretty difficult to properly translate, unfortunately.

>>11907450
Well I'm not that person, but a lot of forums tend to actually show where a person is from, so it's easy to find out. It's true though. And Umineko has a lot of stupid fans who argue using the different text colors to be "cool" even though they don't understand how it works.

>>11907502
Oh yeah, and Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi. Another masterpiece that will never end up translated, because it's a massive pain in the ass to do.

I/O's QC is at 422/510.

So is this where people come to bitch about untranslated VNs? This has been showing up on /a/ recently.

>>11907842
yes

>>11907842
Its shit for 超M otaku retards. I doubt anyone will ever bother translating any of Vanadis femdom kusoge.

>>11907852
Really? A shame, that. What if we keep bitching a lot?

>>11907852
But anon, Monmusu quest was translated!

>>11907860
Monmusu is not Vanadis, its gameplay, and most of femdom stuff there is avoidable. Cannot be compared to Vanadis shit, where even if you have choices, not obeying their insane bitches always leads to bad ends.

>>11907869
You're acting like femdom is somehow a bad thing. Look at this spider girl. Just look at her.

>>11907873
I love monster girls. Thats why I even tried to endure vanadis shit. But its just objectively bad and there are better monster-girl novels.
For example http://vndb.org/v7689 has both decent protag and decent heroines. And even heroines design and art are better.

>>11907877
>objectively bad
That's just, like, your opinion, man. /a/ pretty much unanimously wants this stuff, I'm here as an envoy.

>>11907883
I fucking kill Manticore scum

Any download link for I/O? Torrent is dead, hosting services are shit and give me 50KB/s. I don't want to have to fire up Share to get 3KB/s.

>>11908104
It's on the /jp/ ftp.

>>11908131
Oh, thanks, man. I never think of checking there.

>>11907869
>Monmusu is not Vanadis, its gameplay, and most of femdom stuff there is avoidable.

Did we play the same game?

>>11907877
>For example http://vndb.org/v7689 has both decent protag and decent heroines. And even heroines design and art are better.

So why isn't that translated either?

>>11907882
庶民 like them shouldn't be even allowed to post on /jp/

This is why no one likes you, /jp/

>>11908104
The torrent is working fine for me. 150kB/s

>>11908139
I don't see any seeds. The FTP is relatively slow but it's decent, so I'll just go with that.

>>11908104
I got it from rutracker, worked well.

>>11908705
Don't worry, I/O autist. You'll soon have your super masterpieces translated and you'll be able to move on to complaining about how Subahibi hasn't been translated yet.

>>11909135
Who are you quoting?

>>11909142
If he can delude himself into thinking that I/O and Ayakashibito aren't about teenagers being melodramatic teenagers with the full gambit of highschool cliches, then there's no telling what he'll latch onto next.

>>11909143
Sounds like some translator guy with a sarcastic attitude and poor grammar.

>>11909142
I'm looking forward to his reaction when he realizes that I/O isn't as good as he's deluded himself into believing.

>>11909148
You should know that's not going to happen. He's convinced himself that Remember11 is the word of God, remember?

>>11909142
I'd been wondering how bad you were at telling people apart. Now I know. I'm guessing the "I/O autist" isn't a real person, and maybe a couple people in this thread have a vendetta against the game for some reason.

Your life must be pretty boring if this is all you have to entertain yourself.

>>11909135
You'd be a hero if you managed that, but I'd completely understand if you didn't. It'd be a hell of a project.

is there no translation going for the Code geass game on psp? I think it's called Lost Colors.

>>11909645
It's literally the first result on Google if you search for "code geass lost colors translation".

No, it's just you circlejerking endlessly about how I/O will save the VNTL scene and we should all look forward to the title of the decade. Feel free to keep telling yourself that, if it makes you sleep better at night.

>>11910121

You can tell they're doing quality work when progress triples in days what they did for the last month.

12 riven is already half translated and slightly edited , we will get that really soon as well. maybe even within 2-3 months.

>>11910892
and might i add thats with them been focusing most of the time on I/O. So with all the focus on 12 riven the progress will explode.

>>11910896
Your stupidity is a powerful force again logic.

>>11910883

That looks pretty bleak. So glad I did my reps.

>>11910883

Don't forget about the unlisted projects, which have a tendency to pop up every now and then.

>I/O I/O I/O I/O I/O

what the fuck is happening here

the game isn't even great

>>11910915
It's just the milf autist flipping out because he thinks it's a mature story for mature people like him, not a bunch of try hard teenagers doing halfassed theorycraft.

In that way, it's kind of perfect for him.

>>11910915
Better than nothing I guess

>>11910915
It's from one vocal person that hasn't actually read it. I'm half tempted to put "I/O" on my filter until after the translation is released.

>>11910913

Yeah, there are at least 2-3 unannounced MG projects in the works that will probably be out within the next year or so.

>>11910923
You think that's going to stop him? It's going to be at least two weeks of complaining that not enough people are sucking its dick followed by months of claiming 12Riven will be out any day. He began spamming about I/O back in fucking November I think.

>>11910883
Meanwhile I count at least 10+ Chinese translated games from Christmas till the end of January, including
-Hatsuyuki Sakura
-Tenshi no Hane wo Fumanaide
-Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru2
-Aete Mushisuru Kimi to no Mirai
-Shikkoku no Sharnoth
-Chocolat
-Phantom of Inferno
-Tiny Dungeon
and many other shorter games and doujin games. And they seem to suggest this is a slow year for translation.

The last time the English translation scene gave me hope was when Eustia was picked up.

>>11910929
How many of those translations are worth a damn? Because there's a shitload of English to Portuguese translations of things, but that doesn't mean that Brazil is full of competent translators.

>>11910926

I mean fan groups, I specifically know of one (will not mention name at request of TL group) that's nearly finished. Of the 5 girls 3 are translated, girl 4 will take ~2 months, and after which they plan to a release an 'everyone but girl 5' edition while TL finishes girl 5 (3 months, because hers is the longest path in the game).

The main problem is distribution, because the group probably had the only copy of the game around and are cautious enough that they don't want to seed it (seen too many C&D's happen, apparently).

>>11910931
That's right up there in convincing next to "my dad is a secret ninja fan translator."

>>11910919
>milf autist

Well, just imagine his disappointment when he realizes that yet again he can't have a milf waifu in this game. The thought is sort of soothing.

>>11910936

TL actually posted in the thread earlier, although it seems they got as much help as they expected:
>>11903811


Either way, just wait; it'll be out in 2 months or so.

>>11910930
Most are way more competent than the average English "translators" to say the least.

>>11910867
>posting relevant updates

Fuck off retard

>>11910883
Yoake editing finished recently as well
>>11910915
As opposed to all the other kamige we've gotten translated lately? Oh wait...

>>11910949
Who are you quoting?

>>11910930
>>11910948

Yeah, most people simply don't have the slightest idea just how bad the average English translation is. I'm not saying the Chinese translations are better per se (I don't even know Chinese after all) but it can't be much worse than what we have. At least they are fast. Like, superfast.

>>11910948
The average translator is a 12 year old Taiwanese boy with rudimentary English and Google translate. The average translator will also never get more than 5% through a VN.

>>11910915
>>11910919
bet you didn't even read it. bet you think remember 11 was bad too. shit taste cant be helped.

>>11910943
the two cool scifi women are protags retard.

>>11910958
>Here are reasons why it is bad
>Oh yeah? I bet you didn't even read it. I know it's good even though I haven't read it.

Milf autist logic at work.

>>11910962
he didn't give any reasons at all.

>>11910964
Come on, darling. We've worked on plurals.

>>11910919
you most likely dont like scifi or the infinity games if you dont like theorycraft and such. your opinion most likely doesnt matter.

MILF autist is throwing a tantrum!

>>11910962
You missed milf autist telling us about how he wouldn't have a problem at all if Dies Irae was half-assed translated, and couldn't figure out why no one was translating it.

>>11910977
>half-assed translation
You didn't get what he was saying at all, your an idiot.

>>11910973
It was not very effective.

>>11910981
>your an idiot

>>11910973
Its because kids these days have such horrible taste. if more vns like the infinity vns and such got translated instead of all this shit on the list the vn translation wouldn't be dead. instead of getting things like baldr sky we get moege garbage. im glad that we are getting more plot detailed vns finally.

>>11910981
"As long as the meaning can be understood" equals a half-assed translation of DE.

>>11910994
I don't even know what "plot detailed" is supposed to mean, but I'm pretty sure I/O isn't it.

>>11910994
If you weren't so retarded you could just learn the language and read whatever you want.

>>11910996
well then by your means Grisaia has plot? I/O has more plot then any vn we have gotten in a fucking while.

Why cant we all just get along and be happy we are getting a decent vn too read?

>>11911004
>too
I wonder who this is?

>>11911004
> decent vn
You mean 迷宮? Its gonna take a while.

>>11911006
It's cute the way he thinks that capitalizing can hide him.

>>11910994
If it seems everyone but you has horrible taste, maybe the reality of the situation is the opposite of what you think it is?

>>11911009
nah because then i wouldn't exit out of boring as fuck moege every 5 minutes whenever i try to read it. While when a vn has some interesting plot and characters i tend to read all of it.

>>11911054
You should work on your English.

Huh.

>>11911054
You don't even know what you're talking about. Actual moege very seldom get translated.

>>11911101
You misunderstand. Anything he doesn't like is a moege.

>>11910883
Meikyuu is much shorter than Kajitsu, no? I can't see it taking more than two years.

>>11911080

Will Otome games sell on PC?

Will Otome games sell on PC when the only place one can order them is on a site alongside classy titles like Ultimate Boob Wars and Suck my Dick or Die?

I mean, with BL games the fanbase for them is either rotten enough not to care about such things, or literal faggots who would probably not be bothered, but I dunno if I'd bet on (probably all-ages) otome games.

Where the hell would they even get otome games anyway? Circus?

>>11910953
I think it was pretty obvious from my post who I was quoting. Why don't you read it again.

>>11910883
>May Come Out Within 2 Years
>Grisaia no Meikyuu

No way. Meikyuu is much shorter than Kajitsu and koestl is, once he sets off, a pretty fast translator. I'd say 4 ~ 5 months.

>>11911256

I'll revise it next list to 6 months to a year. My thoughts are it may take a tiny bit over a year, mostly because it's really possible that something may come up demanding a break.

If not, I think 8 months sounds about right.

>>11911180

I think it can if MG plays their cards right. If they want to get serious about branching into the 女性向け market they really need a sub-brand or alternate portal though.

>>11911328
>I think it can if MG plays their cards right.

They're already off to a poor start. They've been hyping for years the possibility of getting into the BL game at cons, but they've done jack all for otome games. Most of the otome game market seems to be on smartphones too.

The only way I can see it working out is if they launch that shit on steam(most otome games are all ages), keep it far away from their site, and pray.

>caring about F/HA
There's a reason Type Moon didn't pick it up immediately after finishing F/SN, you know?

>>11910883
Sumaga is translated, edited, and headed for QC. It is going to be released. The only thing holding it up is JAST putting basically everything on the backburner until after Steins;Gate is released. It's definitely happening, though.

>>11910128
See, this is exactly what I mean. A few of us are cautiously optimistic about the game, but you've got what's called a "hate-on" for it, so you keep twisting our words around. Seriously, calm down. The world's not going to end if someone disagrees with your opinion.

>>11911552

I've heard that for forever. I've heard that it was done, that it was not done, that the translation team lied about progress, etc--

I am now wondering if they even have rights to publish it. It doesn't budge from its current place until we get a confirmed release date.

>>11911546
Yeah, the reason would be that they don't translate their own games. That'd be handy though.

If you don't care about Nasuverse stuff you shouldn't play it. It's like forcing a CoD fanboy to review a Zelda game.

>>11911647
>If you don't care about Nasuverse stuff you shouldn't play it. It's like forcing a CoD fanboy to review a Zelda game.
A more apt comparison would be like forcing a chess grand master to play marbles with five year olds.

>>11911680
>comparing FSN to "chess grand master" level

>>11911680
No, I was right. Not only is it more appropriate to use video games as an example when we're talking about video games, but it's also the case that Nasu's writing is the more intellectually advanced option.

>>11911694
Actually I was comparing Fate/Stay Night to playing marbles with five year olds.

>>11911711
Then you don't know how to do analogies and should just go back to your game of marbles.

>>11911714
No, you're just lacking serious reading comprehension.

>>11911714
You oughta work on your reading comprehension, ESL-kun.

>>11911680
Chess is shit because limited. That's why you can't beat computers anymore.
Go, on the other hand, is the way to go.

>>11911757
The problem with chess is it is too well balanced, meaning victory comes not from what you do but how well you do it. That's why games created in modern times tend to have a degree of imbalance to them to spice things up. MtG has something called the magic curve which is a rough estimation of how powerful the card is to its equivalent mana cost, then they change the mana cost + or - up to 15%.

>>11911767
Changing the mana cost down 25% or 20% is the difference between a faceraping truck and unplayable shit.

>>11911757
>>11911767
That's why chess variants like dark chess exist.

>>11911694
He may have been saying something stupid, but how dumb do you have to be to misunderstand the analogy that badly? It's like everyone's competing to win the Biggest Idiot Award.

>>11911773
There's more formats than Standard, and even within Standard, cards can change entirely depending on context. Nightveil Specter was a $0.50 unplayable shit card due to requiring three colored mana for a simple 2/3 flyer with an ability that doesn't do much in most contexts. Since the release of Theros, however, it's been clearly in the faceraping truck category due to how well it works with devotion.

>>11911798
Confidant would be shit at 3, Knight of the Reliquary would be shit at 4, Jace would be shit at 5. Context can make cards great that were formerly shit (Vampire Hexmage would still have been good if it cost 3 during Dark Depths season) but in general the game doesn't work like that.

After bitching about the game for seven years I quit after AVR so I have no idea what they're up to now.

>>11911789
That's what this thread's for, isn't it?

Who cares about children's card games?

>>11911802
Jace would still be very usable at 5, assuming no colored mana is added. Just not 'The Wallet Sculptor' level of broken.

>>11912318
It looks you're almost half way there. Have you thought about releasing a demo?

>>11912222
The sad thing is, 10k lines are as long as a short novel, so he could translate them in few days.
And we don't even have a new partial patch.

>>11912399
>10k lines
>few days
>Subahibi
Ha, no.

>>11912399
I hope you mean weeks, not days, and even that's a pace where quality goes by the wayside.

>>11912406
>>11912409
It was a hyperbole.
He could translate them in 1-2 months.

>>11912453
...That's neither what hyperbole is nor how you use the word hyperbole.

>>11912453
Just because a novel isn't long doesn't mean it's easy to translate without screwing it up all over.

>Ayakashibito

Update: @kyougenshou finished everything last week. Balcerzak going through them~

soon

Seeing as Ayakashibito and I/O are likely to be released at the same time (next week?), which one are you guys going to read first?

>>11912783
If they were to come out at the same time, I'd read Ayakashibito first. It looks good and the premise sounds interesting.

Also, there's a white-haired girl.

>>11912788
ans she is russian

>>11912791
They're the best.

>>11912797
indeed

Replaying Danganronpa on Vita just reminds me how much I want to bone purple Mio (Kirigiri).

Hey guys, how difficult would it be to read Dies Irae with about say a year and a half of dedicated moon studying under my belt.
(I'm about a month in but I really wanna read this as soon as possible)

>>11913117
Try reading simpler VNs first.

Whats up with the princess maker translation patch anyway? they said it would be completed in month and a half. that was 3 months ago. I'm not complaining, I just want to know where things stand.

>>11913393
It'll be finished in a month and a half.

>>11913407
How can you tell?

>>11913413
I am Ra, the All Seeing.

>>11912396
Well, we might consider it. What's the normal expectations of a demo? Would, for example 2 out of 7 days do?

>>11913423
Fair enough

month and a half... so the 1st of april? Be seeing you than.... probably...

>>11912783
Definitely I/O. I don't care for Ayakashibito except for the fact that it's considered very good so I'll have to at least check it out at some point down the line. I/O is a case of 'drop everything (including any responsibilities I may have IRL) and spend all of your free time reading until it's over' for me.

>>11912783
None of them, there's Senshinkan release on 28th.

>>11912783
I'll most likely just read Ayakashibito and pass on I/O.

>I/O 230/249 (92.4%)

Why isn't irotoridori no sekai in this list anymore? Was it dropped?

>>11913611
VNs like these make me wish I wasn't too lazy to learn japanese

>>11912783
Ayakashibito looks boring. I heard I/O is significant weaker than E17/R11/N7 but I'm willing to give it a shot at least.

>>11914177
After learning a bit more Japanese, the translator realized everything he had done so far is utter crap and he would have to re-do all the scripts. That, or he lied and never actually did anything.
In any case his last update was in June last year and we never heard anything from him since then. You can safely assume that you're gonna need to learn moon if you want to read it (not to say that this average moege would be worth the effort).

>>11914248
I don't think it can be weaker than Never17
