Haven't you heard, OP? Blick sold them the project.

Why is monmosu quest not in the list?

Forest patch can't come fast enough

>>8373755
>Also, am I the only one waiting for this?

Yes.

Pia Carrot 3, on the other hand, maybe not.

is this the real life
>Wanko route TL: 78%
LB, KS and wanko in the not so distant future. Pretty good for us English-only peasant.

>Touka Gettan
Why is someone translating this? I always assumed it was one of those shitty games with a good artist. Am I wrong?

>>8374205
This is /jp/ so that sounds about right.

>>8374181
Do you just randomly assume a game sucks or something.

>>8374205
He read about it on vndb so he knows everything about it.

>>8374016
Are you serious?

Why the fuck has jast not been doing shit, fuck jast. they are slow as shit and we would be better off without them.

are the tl done by jast and other official people significantly better than fan translations?

>>8374244
HELL YEA THEY ARE

>>8374244
They get there shit FROM the fan translators, they dont even do their own shit.

When will forest be out?

>>8374306
never

>>8374221

Probably, but he DID disappear and was doing all the work, leaving Steiner to pick up the pieces, and there's a rumor flying around that JAST had offered him lodsofemone for the translated script.

Steiner refuses to clarify why the full translation has not been released yet, making it even more suspicious.

>>8374540

>To Heart2- 63% translated
>"The final product is still years away unless I get more help."
Damn, the guy was serious.

Best thread of the week is here again!

worst thread of the week is here

why don't you faggots just learn japanese already, this is fucking pathetic. in the time you spend fapping over translators and secret announcements and checking updates you could be fluent

>>8374986
But that requires effort. Whingeing is much more enjoyable and easier to do.

>>8374986
why would i even do this

yea, I invested a couple thousand hours of my limited time on this earth learning a complex foreign language for no reason except to read anime picture books on my PASO-CON. and i'm not afraid to let you bitches know it!

where do i get the patch? i can't find a link on the translation's site...

What happened to the 3Days translation project? I haven't been keeping up.

>>8374028
Because it's shit for /a/ and you're on /jp/.

This is good.

>>8376837
It will be released with F/ha.

>>8374306

Depends.

VO lines aren't included in the project count. If they are done, then next week (fri/sate), if they aren't, then the week after.

>>8374233
You'd be better off learning japanese.

>>8376567
It's somewhere on mediafire, if you haven't found it by now ask here or on /a/ if somebody will reupload it

>>8376849
seriously? fuck, i hate waiting.

Why must you troll us with that top image? I thought for sure that meant the patch was out.

When will you be removing Baldr Sky from the list? Have you received any info from Strato in the past 6 months?

So, looks like steins gate might come out soon.
http://tsuuun.blogspot.com/

>>8373690

It can't be helped. Just one person working on it (part time). The team has some major problems atm (look at their homepage for details).

I wish I could understand japanese more so I could help, but unfortunately I can't ...

>>8373755
Pia Carrot 2 is relevant to my interests. First read about the games a decade ago, back when nobody even thought about fan translations.

>Tenshi No Inai 12-Gatsu-"Maho route fixed"
It's been a long time since the last update. The old Geocities site is long gone. There was a website with a decent article (called Freetype or something), but I think it's gone too.

>>8377082
The main character seems really different and interesting from what i read about it. Why does the game have such bad luck at being translated? any reason?

>>8377093
Because you don't translate it.

>>8377113
???,explain.

>>8377119
He probably means that the people who are interested don't take the time to translate it themselves, hence nothing ever gets done.

>Forest

This is fucking torture man. TORTURE!

I'm willing to suck the cock of whoever decides to translate it faster than 1%/yr

>>8377741
im sure you can find a competent translator if you offer more valuable currency than virtual blowjobs

>>8376567

They removed it because they sold out to JAST.

Rewrite soon, fellow gentlemen of taste.

>>8378581
People with taste shouldn't expect much from it.

>>8378581

You have an interesting definition of soon.

>>8378602

Fuck you.

>>8378604

'Soon' as in 'the translation will begin soon' and 'soon' as in 'it will be done before the year is out'.

>>8378622
>Fuck you.
What? I've read it, so I have more criteria than you to judge it.

>>8378628

I really don't have a comeback for this as I don't know whether you like KEY games in the first place or not.

However, Muv-Luv Alternative is shit.

>>8378632
I like KEY games since I enjoy romantic dramas, but I like almost every genre, be it horror, action, fantasy, sci fi...
MLA is good however, but loses a lot of points from making you wade through the pieces of shit called EX and UL.

>>8378642

So your problem with Rewrite would also be that it takes to long to get to the 'good parts'?

One could say much the same about the much-beloved Ever17.

>>8378656
Can't you defend something without shitting on something else in the same post?

>>8378656
And that's exactly my problem with e17, just that it takes A LOT less, since it's shorter.
rewrite had two good routes and the rest was average or outright bad before getting to Terra.
And that was a long time.

>>8378661

I'm trying to stir up shit to make a point, fuckhead

>>8378669

That's fair enough, I suppose.

Honestly my main problem with Rewrite was the common route.
I mean it was interesting at times but it was often really boring.
Afterward, the routes themselves went quicker.
I mean sure Kotori's route is pretty shitty but it's pretty short, Shizuru's route is shitty too but Shizuru is awesome so it evens out and Chihaya's route read like a bad light novel but it's pretty fast paced so it's at least not boring.
Rest was decent to great.

But really it took me 2 weeks to go through the common part of Rewrite, that's how dull it was.
The common route of Grisaia I read around the same time and that is as long took me 2 days.

>>8378798
Did r07 make a funny or interesting route? Did he make his heroine a troll or yandere? Does she do the battttttttlerrrrrrrrr

>>8378575
Nothing was removed though.

>>8378798

People said the heroine routes in Little Busters were shit too but I ended up enjoying them.

>>8378812
The route he made is pretty good, better than most of the other routes aside of Akane/Moon/Terra anyways.
It doesn't have much humor but it's interesting all the way through.

It does have a bit too much of his quirks though, if you read Umineko you should know them.

>>8378843
I can see people liking Chihaya's route because it's pretty much a shonen but Kotori and Shizuru's routes basically have nothing good about them

>>8378843
In LB, how much you like the heroine will basically dtermine how much you enjoy the route, save for a couple.
In rewrite, the heroines get fucked over by their routes. Kotori is the biggest example, great heroine, shitty route.

>>8378851
>>8378856

I still think you people are exaggerating a little. What VN has good routes to you?

>>8378861
White Album 2 was the latest thing I read.
I hated a couple of the heroines, yet still loved their routes.

>>8378846
Can you give some examples of how she acts/what the route is about? Im really interested on what he wrote about.

>>8378865
Can't really do this without spoiling the route heavily.
Believe me, it's very very obvious that Ryuukishi wrote it

>>8378874
Especially that first twist.
Her route would be a lot better without the first hour or so.

>>8378867

I don't understand all this hype surround WA2... wasn't the original WA completely fucking awful? I've heard it has one of the worst protagonists to ever grace eroge next to Bakayuki and Makoto Itou.

>>8378876
Nobody understands it.

>>8378876
The original WA was pretty bad yeah.
But so what? WA 2 is good because its execution is basically perfect.
It does everything it set to do pretty much perfectly.
That's why.

WA2 is just a mediocre eroge hyped by few faggots.

>>8378876
Not really. I assume those people were going off the anime adaptation.

>>8378876
WA2 is a 'sequel' in that it shares the same world and does a couple of references here and there.
It happens 10 years later and it's sequel because it's called white album. it could have been called Todokanai Koi perfectly and just ommit the references.

>>8378903
Did you even try it?
I can understand not liking it due to the genre, because you don't like romance drama or whatever but that's pretty much all.

>>8378903
But you didn't read it.

>>8378921
How can he try what he can't read?

>>8378876
>I don't understand all this hype surround WA2
It's well written drama. For people who like drama it's going to play with your heartstring a lot, thus get very emotional and think it's the best game ever. If you don't like drama, there isn't much in it for you.

>WA 2 GOTY GOTY ALL YEAR XDDD
>not hyped by few faggots
hilarious

Probably, someone wrote a somewhat pretentious review praising White Album 2 highly, and then everyone started being led along, and then because the game felt robust they "decided" that it was eroge of the year.

>>8378941
>>8378943
You guys are pretty pathetic.
Keep talking about something you'll never read if it make you feel intelligent.

>>8378948
>implying I was wrong about few faggots hyping it
>implying you're not one of them
>implying WA 2 isn't a shitty eroge

>>8378943
Yeah, the 150+ post thread about it floating around is one deluded samefag.

>>8378956
You try too hard

Learn to ignore the goddamn trolls you bunch of braindead morons.
Fuck.

>>8378957
You underestimate the power of people making each other believe that something is "great". Mind you, I'm not saying it's a bad game by default, but I see signs of what I posted so I wouldn't be surprised if I was right on the topic of hype.

>>8378969
So I read something, which I found excellent, only because other people also did? Seriously?

>>8378969
Or -and please try to keep up with this outlandish thought process- it's just a pretty damn good romance story / relationship drama and people like it.
I mean seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you.

wa2 is shit cuz character designs suck

>>8378981
I never said that. I'm not insulting the game, or anyone. Just saying that if the hype seems unwarranted, it may very well be so because of those reasons. Sorry if I was unclear.

>>8379017
the people ranking the game highly and talking about it positively are people who've actually played it. unlike you, their evaluation of the game is actually based on something other than complete speculation.

>>8379122
Aside from the alt accounts that Leaf made. It still has a really high score without them, but you underestimate just how many of the EGS ratings WA2 had that were very obviously fake.

>>8379133
That's why smart people use this
http://erogamescape.dyndns.org/~ap2/ero/toukei_kaiseki/usersql_exec.php?sql_id=241

>>8379122
I agree, however do consider the possibility, as it often happens, that people rank a game far higher than it deserves. You're right though, I shouldn't have posted these.

>>8379133
Holy fuck you are desperate.
>It still has a really high score without them
Understatement of the year.

WA2 also just came out. The way things go with good games, especially with public fan sites/ratings is
1.) Rabid fans play game in days, splooge all over it
2.) Fans of the genre play game a little later, also like it
3.) Non-fans drawn by high score play it, like it less, rating drops over time until equilibrium found

When the fuck is forest gonna be out, ive been waiting for days for it and weeks for fucking steins gate. ive been waiting to the point of being so bored that i just go to sleep in order to wake up the next day. I also refresh the translation pages and ronvoes every 5 mintues.. am i the only one doing this?

>>8379428
Just start reading it in japanese with chiitrans or something, should give you something to do while you wait.

>>8379428
Get another hobby, anon.

>>8379447
what programs do i need to use chiitrans?

>>8379447
Also dont want to be a spoon feeder but could i maybe get a link or torrent to the shit i need? Can i play almost any nukige with that and it will come out decent?

>>8379551
https://sites.google.com/site/chiitranslator/eng
.NET framework 4.0 apparently. My advice is to disable the machine translation and use it as a kanji lookup tool, and use the machine translations when you need extra help. This of course assumes you understand kana and basic grammar, if you don't google Tae Kim's guide and read until you have the basics. It'll be slow at first, but honestly if you're that taken with it you might as well entertain yourself slowly.

>>8379628
I thought i could use this program with a program like atlas to translate the words for me?

>>8379654
It does google translate and some other things yes, and there's an atlas option though I never tried it. But machine translations are just bad. You'd be much better off doing it yourself. If you don't care, go for it I guess.

>>8379586
No. Stop being a lazy leeching faggot and go learn Japanese like the rest of the people who care about reading VNs.

>>8379693
but im really lazy..

So where do i put the chii trans files? I get an error when i load it up. do i put the files where the game is?

>>8374540
>Steiner refuses to clarify why the full translation has not been released yet, making it even more suspicious.
Why do you keep saying this even after being proved wrong?

I keep getting this script error, anybody know why?

>>8379781
Delete your System32 folder.

>>8379781
here a pic

>>8376873
You're a faggot, and I hope you know that.

>>8379776
I'm trying to goad him into saying something outside of his blog comments

>>8379787
See if you have .NET framework 4.0, if not get it, could be the reason. If you don't know if you have it or not, just download and try it. To run a game, just find the icon in chiitrans to select a game and pick the game exe. It uses agth so anything that works with agth should be fine. Any problems beyond that, you're on your own.

>>8378948
>You guys are pretty pathetic.
>guys
>s

MGQ too cool for VNTS threads?

>>8379787
keep on getting this freaking error, im downloading altas to crack because i think that might be the problem. Also, would bepping mama translate alright? Im thinking it might not have that much hard Japanese.

>>8379787
Anybody know what this could be? I have .net 4 installed..

every time i start the game with chii trans it crashes, is there a better program or something else?

Some impressing trolling in this thread. Anyway:
>White Album 2 - 4/30 ~introductory chapter~ scripts translated, 183 scripts in total.

Still looking for someone who'll help me use some damn commas in this game.

Just use Translation Aggregator.

>>8380468
Alright somewhat got that working but how do i make it follow the game without having to highlight the text in agth?

>>8380500
Also why is it repeating so god dam much.

Alright, how can i make it so it only goes line by line instead of keeping everything..

Its repeating the same line 50 fucking times for some reason, anybody know what im doing wrong.

Try each one until you find one that works. I'm guessing it will be one of the KiriKiri ones.

That's what EGS community thinks so far. I think it will drop at least a few points, but time will tell.

>>8380562

Wasn't this fucking terrible? Everyone says it's fucking terrible.

And no, WA2 is only in that spot because it just came out.

>>8380586
It's not bad. The writing is pretty interesting. Post modern vn if you will.

Hasn't aged terribly well though. No reason not to check it out though. Not like we are awash in translated vns.

It's written by Maruto fumiaki, who's well known for writing amazing moege/romance vns. It's kinda funny that he also wrote White Album 2, which a lot of people in this thread seem to be discussing.

Huh. Why doesn't it have a translation project at all? Virtually everything else on that list does or did.

>>8380626

I've never heard people speak positively of it, especially in comparison to Romeo's other works.

>>8380631
None. AGTH and ATLAS are supplementary tools, not replacements for learning Japanese.

Games that use the same engine generally use the same thread.

>>8380631

Axanael.

So, what's the story with the unedited patch that was leaked?

Did/can anyone up it for the bros?

>>8380631
No, some games also require H-codes to hook threads properly at all.

>>8380635
It did have one, but it got C&D'd during that whole TLwiki/minori mess IIRC.

>Yosuga no Sora - Roughly 40% translated, goal for greater than 50% patch around mid-to-late february

Hooray

>Air - New team working on it from the beginning
It would be funny if it would not be so sad. Maybe raw scripts contain map treasure in developers comments section, so translators going for it but find inevitable death? There is no other explanation. If we disregard aliens and "suddenly Japanese became so hard that even nipponjins couldn't understand it" theories.

>>8380586
KazoKei is really good but not the type of story Western fans like, hence the hate.

>And no, WA2 is only in that spot because it just came out.
It has almost 400 votes, which is a fair amount. Sure it'll drop but there's a good chance it'll stabilize at 90 or above.

>>8380608
>it seems
Why is /jp/ so eager to judge things they've never played?

>>8380636
When do you think we will be able to see perfect machine translations? 10 more years?

>>8380639
Why? Is it easier Japanese than what even this game uses?

>>8380643
huh, where can i get the h-codes if i need them in the future?

>>8380650

Yes.

>>8380644

That's sad. Maybe someone will try again. I'd kind of like to play it now given some stuff TakaJun said in that review. But he can make anything sound good, given all the gushing.

So, what's the story with the unedited Forest patch that was leaked?

Did/can anyone up it for the bros?

>>8380635

It had a project at one point, but it got a C&D and disappeared.

Icrec also expressed some interest in translating it not too long ago, but then he went and talked about how he feels that he should do longer games from now on since not many other people do them, so idk if that's still an option.

>>8380658
Parfait is actually pretty good, though. Not worth a 90 perhaps, but still very high tier for a moege.

>>8380658
Oh cool, will it translate it at least to the point of understanding? because sadly im not really understanding what its translating for bepping mama at all.. Also how will i know what game translates better then others?

>>8380671
>Also how will i know what game translates better then others?

Trial and error.

>>8380663

Ixrec*

>>8380667

A high-tier moege might be interesting.

>>8380661

You don't want to play something like Forest without editing. It's very postmodern from what I've heard.

>>8380673
Any torrent or link for Axanael? Cant find it.

>>8380671
1. Show the Mecab and Jparser windows in TA too. This will give you grammar parsing and dictionary lookup.
2. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_grammar
3. Add more VN-oriented dictionaries to ATLAS, like FHC (Brazilian guy)'s.
4. Add the names of the characters too, or they will get translated literally ala Flyable Heart.

Anyone know where I can track down the people supposedly working on Air? I'd like to yell at/offer my service to/pet them.

>>8380831
where can i find FHC?

>>8380854
Brazil

>>8380831
For some reason Mecab and Jparser dont work, and i found fhc, any other good dictionaries i should add? Also how do i add the names?

>>8380979
There's dictionary file you need for Mecab, just google it or something.

No, she's quitting.

You newfags sure are cute.

>>8381103
Is she the one who pretended to be dying before?

>>8381129
Not everyone gives a shit about the identities of the people translating their games.

After stepping down from office, he has been giving lectures at Brown University, about Brazilian economic policy, urban development, and deforestation [1]. Also, he dedicates his time to a personal institute created by him in São Paulo, based on the model of bodies created by former Presidents of the United States. He has written two books about his experience as President of Brazil and has given many interviews. In his spare time, he enjoys reading Japanese erotic games, in particular those containing cuckolding. He has contributed to an ATLAS dictionary, which he makes available at no cost, to help others read them without learning Japanese. In 2007, he became a member of the editorial board of the Latin American policy publication Americas Quarterly, for which he is a regular contributor.

>>8381217

Why are people using ChiiTrans/AGTH?
Isn't Translation Aggregator and ITH better?
Or did I miss something?

Looks like the Ayakashibito translation project is dead

>>8381782

So i put in the h code for axanael but the lines dont clear themselves and i cant find my thread in the agth selection. is there a option for thos or is it really the thread that makes the text go line by line?

Im using a custom hook for axanael , do i still need to use agth? The text is not being picking up some some reason...

Where did you take those info? it is quite sometime that i see those lines but i really can't find any site/forum/etc that talks about those translations.
HGTP want to translate Rance Quest but right now there is not a translator so they can only extract data.
and for IMZ i really can't find any info.

someone can help me?

>>8381997

Fuck,the 3 vns right now, Higanbana, steins gate, and forest are all fucking taking so long to come out.

>>8382052
>fucking taking so long to come out
You clearly never waited 3 years for a VN.

>>8382089
Narcissu 2 is very short, so it'll be finished soon! Narcissu 1 was translated in a short timespan too, so it'll be out soon!

>>8382089
Its not really that ive never waited, its just I really thought they would all be coming out for winter break and i have about 2 weeks left and wanted to read them all at once..

>>8382159
Steins;Gate was already translated three months ago.

Also, you should play KazoKei because Wakamoto.

>>8373627
>Aiyoku no Eustia
I haven't heard about anything for awhile. I loved the demo very much and had high hopes for it but I am getting discouraged. I guess the final product was subpar and not worth finishing the project, serves me right for actually reading a partial patch for once.

>>8384394
I'd assume it's just because they're focusing on Majikoi right now.

>>8384715
two different staffs, Takajun is doing Majikoi and someone else is doing Eustia

>>8384715
The translator and team are different than those who are working on Eustia, if I am not mistaken. Takajun isn't the translator.

Speaking of him, is Takajun done with translating after Majikoi? Is he gonna take a break?

>>8384731

His taste is so hit or miss... so it's hard to look forward to him continuing because his taste is just really erratic. At times he seems like he's smart and kind of cares about story. And then at other times he seems like a complete mouth-breather who I would expect to end every sentence with XD!

I guess it's good to have him translating because that means that some other translator will pick something good because he took something bad.

>>8384394
Why would you assume the game's quality is at fault here? Most of Eustia was entertaining.

>>8384790
I was just putting out a hypothesis. The translation team took a big risk in translating a trial of a game that hadn't been released yet so it was possible that the translator didn't like the final product effectively killing the project.

>>8384771

>>8384771
Somebody should try telling him there's interest in the Parfait game. He did rate the story 10/10, so he might want to work on it.

>>8388172
/jp/ is where the true oldfags and the highest of powerlevels reside. Most people on /jp/ have seen more anime series than 10+ average f/a/ggots combined. In addition a lot of people on /jp/ can watch anime without waiting for subs like you fucking faggot babbys. Generally, /a/ looks to each other for approval of things, while /jp/ looks inward at itself instead of relies on a hivemind mentality. Also /a/ has no OC besides shitty image macro memes that get old within a week; /jp/ translates VNs, games and has doujin translation teams that regularly post there. People at /jp/ know your own boards' subject far, far better than you do, fucking dream on if you think you have any kind of superiority in any way whatsoever.

We sneer at you fucking newfags/normalfags, your shonenshit Big 3 threads, quasi-/v/ mentality and everything else that makes /a/ suck fucking balls. /jp/ is a better board than /a/ could ever dream to be because most of you f/a/ggots are, in our eyes, eternal newfags, aka there is nothing you could ever say or do to bring yourself up to our level, because you aren't true oldfags. You're G/a/ia, you're ANN and MAL trash now. Stay away, we don't want you in /jp/, not now, not ever. Go on and continue existing in your own world of shit thinking that it's any good, while the master race quietly resides separated from you mongoloids.

Thank you!

>>8388249
I always wonder how can people rate things bellow 4-5. I always drop something that would be so bad, and if I managed to finish it I at least give it a 5 or something, simply because I managed.

By the way, I disagree with your tastes, but that's just my opinion.

>>8389261
cant you like both drop something and give it 1-3?

>>8388141
>telepac
I figured that they were a bunch of faggots, but not that bad.

>>8389333
That's the thing, I don't like rating things I haven't finished. It's the faggot thing to do.

>>8389261
I don't like working on the grading scale system, maybe it's just me. What's the point of 1-6 if we consider all those bad? Why not make 5 the average and 1-4 for example be the bad ones?

>>8389261
>>8390199
1-5 are different kinds of bad. 6 isn't bad.
6 - Liked it a bit
5 - Didn't mind reading it, but wouldn't call 'fun'
4 - Could've been fun but wasn't
3 - The game sucks
2 - The game is fucking terrible
1 - The game is so bad it's good (comedy value from low quality)

I only rate games when I am certain I have played enough to form a good opinion on it. Otherwise there would be a lot more badly-rated OELVNs in there. As for the 6 and lower rated games on that list:
6.3 Natsu no Hi no Resonance - Finished it completely (was amusing)
6.2 The Answer - Finished it completely (was amusing and made some interesting points)
6 Digital: A Love Story - Finished it completely (had great potential, hoped for something better)
6 Tokoyo no Hoshizora - Finished it completely (was amusing)
5.8 Tsuki no Terasu - Finished it completely (was amusing)
5.3 Otoko Dogeza Jigoku - Finished it completely (was amusing)
4.8 The Fucking Question - Finished it completely (was amusing)
4.7 Nice Day - Finished it completely (was <5 min)
4.4 Kawaii Adobenshaas in Anime Rando - Finished it completely (hoped for non-completely random plot or better humor, had potential)
3.6 Natsu no Owari ni - Finished it completely (and expected the story to finally start after the final scene, only to find out that was all)
3 Nagaeba Kitto... - Finished it completely (was extremely short)
2 Take Rena Home - Finished it completely (curious how terrible it would become)
1 Fading Hearts Parallel - Finished one ending (enjoyed how terrible it was)
They're mostly very short games, so by the time I've played enough to conclude the game is terrible it's already over.

>>8390393
Well, I guess that's fine. On the other hand, I tend to want to forget bad reads so I just ignore them and don't list them, but that's just me.

>>8390199
The thing is, 5 should be the average of all the VN's, not of all the VN's you've finished.

>>8390393
>6 Digital: A Love Story - Finished it completely (had great potential, hoped for something better)

You may be happy to hear Christine Love is working on a sequel of sorts, Analogue: A Hate Story which is sort of a cross between Digital and DTIPB.

Doesn't have the oldschool charm of Digital though. Dunno how it'll do.

>>8391635
That looks pretty shitty.

>>8391365
I'm pretty sure at least half of /jp/ likes to read translated VNs. The other ones who like to bluff just read them with TA/MeCab. The ones who actually read them in Japanese are very few.

>>8391644
Yes, it does, but I'm curious about how it works.

The only way I picture an MMOVN is kind of like those short story threads on /a/ where the majority of votes pick the choice, and that would make for a shitty game.

>>8388165
What I want them to make is an engine where you can update shit directly from your list, like MAL's. So fucking convenient.

>>8391701
MAL Updater is convenient because anime episodes are updated very often so it's comfortable for it to do it automatically, but finishing a VN doesn't happen as often so I guess it's not a big loss to do it manually.

>>8391719
I'm talking about changing your status and rankings directly from your list instead of going to the VN in question.

>>8388175
poor guy.

>>8391730
Look, I'm even using a picture you'll be able to understand.

>>8391733
Oh yes, yes in that case you're right. It'd be nice to suggest something like a select box for the VN status or rating to the right.

>>8388249
Glad to see our work on Remember11 was appreciated by someone at least.

>>8390393

My scale is like this:
6: Passable
5: Heavily flawed
4: Pretty bad, trainwreck value
3: Honestly bad, not much reason to play to the end
2: Worthless shit that I am mad at for wasting my time
1: (I have yet to actually encounter anything this bad.)

I also have only one 10 on my list thus far, so I tend to be pretty conservative with assigning extreme scores.

>>8392036
What did you give it to? And in my opinion, having only one 10 isn't being conservative, or having 10's at all, for that matter. It should be given to a work that there's absolutely no way it could have been better, i.e. impossible.

Especially now that you can give 9.9's.

>>8390393

My scale is like this:
6: Passable (Narcissu 2, Rance 1, Wanko to Kurasou, Cross†Channel)
5: Heavily flawed (Hinatabokko, Sore Ja Mata Ne, Yukkuri Panic: Escalation)
4: Pretty bad, trainwreck value (11eyes, Summer Days, Go! Go! Nippon!)
3: Honestly bad, not much reason to play to the end (WIND, X-Change 1, Love Potion)
2: Worthless shit that I am mad at for wasting my time (ef, Three Sisters Story)
1: (I have yet to actually encounter anything this bad.)

I also have only one 10 on my list thus far, so I tend to be pretty conservative with assigning extreme scores.

>>8392071
> It should be given to a work that there's absolutely no way it could have been better, i.e. impossible.

You could argue that, but I would counter that ratings are by their very nature subjective and personal, so all that really matters is how good you thought it was.

> What did you give it to?

Shikkoku no Sharnoth. I'm well aware of the complaints and accusations of perceived flaws it gets, but to me it was everything I wanted it to be and then some, especially since the rerelease. Now that I know about the new scoring system (which I didn't before, and thanks for bringing it to my attention) I may change its score once I finish that, but probably not.

>>8392088
I am too. I understand an 8 or something, or a 4 or 2 if they hated the work, but 6 - Passable? What?

>>8392088
You're wasting your anger. See >>8392095

CC is far from a 10 to me. It betrayed most of my expectations and kind of alienated me to boot.
Although if it makes you feel any better I just changed it to a 6.5.

>>8392095
>but I would counter that ratings are by their very nature subjective and personal
Hence >in my opinion.

>Shikkoku no Sharnoth
Haven't played it yet, so I can't comment.

>>8392071
I don't normally rate stuff often, but I agree with having only one 10. A 10 should be given only to the reviewer's absolute favorite title, or if absolutely unavoidable to titles that the reviewer considers completely equal to it.

>>8392088
>>8392099
I gave it a 7. Good, but not great.

Deal with it, Romeo fanboys.

>>8392099
I don't hate it; there were a lot of positive elements, and I get what the story was trying to do, but it didn't amaze me or even surprise me all that much.

Also, the majority of the case was far, far too unlikeable (even taking into account that they're all emotionally disturbed and whatnot) for me to ever invest in them, and I found all the sex, something I ordinarily don't mind and can even enjoy in VNs, to be pointless and badly executed in most cases and tasteless in a few.

Assembling the puzzle pieces was a decently enjoyable exercise, but the picture they form when assembled was not worth it.

>>8392109
I don't really mind the number, just the "passable" adjective.

>>8392124
The cast were supposed to be unlikeable, though... That was the point. It was a group of some of the most fucked up people that could be found. Besides Sakuraba, that guy was a bro.

>>8392142
So what? >>8392124 pretty much sums up my views on CC as well. I just could not enjoy most of the cast. And if I can't get into the characters in a character-driven VN, what the hell's the point?

>>8392142
Ability to relate to the characters and interest in what they do is often a make or break factor in whether a given person will enjoy a work of fiction. I happen to find it fairly important.

The spectacle of messed-up people doing messed-up things is ground that's been tread further back than ancient Greece, but it's just not for me. I'd compare CC to American Psycho in that regard, which I didn't like either.

>>8392142
>>8392187
Alright, fair point. At least you're admitting that it simply wasn't for you, rather than most people who seem to just outright claim that it is terrible.

How come the Forest patch isn't out yet? Is Ixrec gonna sell it to JAST?

>>8392324
I also want to know this, why is it taking so long?

>>8392324
>>8392553
Hmm, I dunno, maybe EDITING?

Have some patience. He started the project less than two months ago, for chrissakes.

>>8392622
I thought Ixrec's editing team usually kept pretty much caught up with his translating, most of the time.

>>8392635
the voiced lines w no text are stopping him because Ixwreck can't understand spoken japanese.

as seen on that post where he said he can't translate the Cross Channel drama CD.

>>8392758
Wouldn't he have anticipated that problem before starting? It's not like he hadn't read the thing before.

Though he managed the voice-only parts of Muv-Luv Alternative just fine.

>>8392758
>because Ixwreck can't understand spoken japanese.
Wait what, eh? Now, I wouldn't say I am good at Japanese, but if anything the spoken language is at least something I can get. Yet I never bothered to learn Kanji, and without that I didn't bother to learn anything else.

But, why? Cause he can't automatically cross-check with his dictionary at each instance somehow?
I don't really get it though, because even that should be possible if he were to just listen and write it down and or look it up.

>>8391635
It doesn't. It's actually practically two completely separate games; a shitty VN and a shitty browser game. They share the same setting and can be found on the same site, but that's pretty much it. There's no interaction between the 'MMO' and the 'VN' parts. By the way, did I mention yet that all BGs are stolen from other games?

>>8392142
Chaos;Head's protagonist Takumi was also unlikable. Fate/stay night's Shinji was also unlikable. But there's a difference between an unlikable person and an unlikable character. It's fine if you think a character is pathetic, and (as clearly demonstrated in Chaos;Head) the character being utterly pathetic can even add a lot to the story. However, the characters in Cross Channel were not just unlikable as people, they were unlikable as characters. I never found it enjoyable to see them interact. (Not the guy who rated CC a 6, I dropped it and have thus not rated it.)

>>8392930
I think it was more of an issue around the time he'd translated Cross Channel. Keep in mind, this was only like his second translation project ever, and he'd also hardly read many VNs at all, probably didn't watch a whole lot of anime either which is another large source of immersion for many of us early on. I don't think he had even read Fate/Stay Night at that point. Since then he's gotten a lot more experience.

>>8392932
I thought Takumi was a great mc, very different and fun to read as him.

Who are you quoting?

>greentexting.
>not quoting.

Who am I quoting?

>>8392932

I identified with Takumi a lot. I don't consider him unlikeable. Utterly pathetic and useless, maybe, but not unlikeable. I think most people here can relate to at least one of his many neuroses.
