It's not too bad, really. I didn't notice any major bugs, but I didn't try for 100% completion (played all routes with no issues). Yes, there are grammatical errors and inconsistent editing, and tips are untranslated unless you compile a patch yourself, but it's perfectly readable. The tips are mostly explanations of 2ch memes or stuff you can look up on Wikipedia anyway.

I may be alone in this, but I'd actually like to be able to buy a hard copy of Steins;Gate from JAST, so I'm okay with Blick "selling out". We already have the unedited patch, so people who don't want to wait don't have to.

Why do you guys care so much? I mean yeah, it was kind of a dick move, but we've had a complete translation for months. Sure, it had a few typos, and we missed out on a glossary of memes and general science terms, but otherwise it's going to be pretty much the same as what he gives to JAST.

Are you the same guy who posted this on the VNTS thread (or elsewhere)?

In any case, you're being retarded for two simple reasons:

1) Nobody is saying "Blick is good at translating". They're saying that he did a good job this time and it seems he is improving it.

2) Not revising something you'll release to the public either makes you arrogant or mediocre. No matter how good your work is, future revisions can only better it.

How about doing it right the first time? Why is a retarded work ethic suddenly a good thing?

He did, the unedited patch is pretty much better than 50% of other translated games, maybe more.

He didn't sacrifice quality for speed, he underestimated how much editing would fix his draft. I don't know, but this is one of his first projects, isn't it?

And by the way, a slower translation henceforth the lack of an incomplete patch would have most likely being worse than the current situation.
