Oh, come on, it's not that expensive. It's buyable, at least. $100 is about £50, which is only slightly more than a normal game here anyway.

Also, Saber is mai waifu, of course I would buy her game.

So why is it that we see all sorts of shitty porn with shitty plot games translated but never any of the VNs that are good for something beyond fap material?

I should clarify this as "officially translated". 9 out of 10 non-fan VN translations are shitty porn with shitty plot games, all of the good ones we have to wait for fan translations of.

I'm not rich, but I'm gonna buy it. If it was $150 - $200 I'd understand the complaints from everyone.

How much is a normal game in America anyway? They're £40 here, which is about $80 I guess.

So has anyone attempted to play this Lycee TCG shit? I've seen it sitting on amazon for a month or two and its starting to annoy me.

I've played some TCGs in the past... played them to the point of enjoyment and monitary waste, but never to the point of obession...

I don't think I'd be able to find anyone nearby who'd play this with me, but I may buy it just because it's TM.

Yeah, E17 is the one example I can recall of a decent VN that got an official translation, but they did a shit job of it.

I mean, christ, they didn't even catch all of the fuckups in the script from when they changed the name from "Youth" to "Kid", so all instances of "you then" became "Kiden". Among other issues (changing someone addressing someone by last name to by first name because in America they'd be on a first-name basis at that level of familiarity is fine normally, but when you hear "Kuranagi-san" and you read "Takeshi" it kinda throws you off a bit.) A damn shame, too, because if they actually did a decent job of it it could have done a lot for non-ero VNs as a whole over here.

I thought the AnimePlay DVD line was a genius idea. Play visual novels on any DVD player? Sounds awesome.
But then I actually got my hands on Hourglass three years ago, and damn. Incompatibilities, clumsy password saving, and forced auto mode just ruined the whole thing.

Doesn't surprise me. Thinking about it, that + the fact that VNs like Fate and Clannad have a shitton more text than the usual shitty porn with shitty plot VNs are the main reasons why we don't get any of the good ones- the ones we do see are shit, but they're probably cheap to license and translate so they don't have to sell much to turn a profit. Licensing and translating something like Tsukihime or Clannad would be a *huge* risk when there's no real proven market for those sorts of games here.

Don't Kidink that Hirameki deserves at least a little credit in how they rewrote the haiku password to be a haiku in English?
So they lost some of the True path hints in the translation. At least they figured it was a haiku.

$100 for a readan game. No thanks, I wait a few months for new games that are only $50 to drop price, and those are ones I can play immediately out of the box instead of waiting a year or two for HF to be fully translated and another year waiting on message to make a patcher.
