/vr/ - Retro Games

This has to be a joke...

>>3917536
You gotta tell me why I'm dumb if you want me to stop being dumb.

Did they make a PDF version available for purchase?

'cuz if not you're probably SOL, my man.

>>3917527
What's the deal? If you wanna read it then buy it. Don't feel like buying it? Then don't. If you're really such a cheapskate then you might as well go google links to where you can find a PDF of it.

>>3917806
I did find a post about someone having a pdf, but it seems like he might have been joking since nothing else points to the existence of one. Scans of the book would be cool too, though.

>>3917845
Your personal feelings about piracy don't dictate mine. I'm asking here because a quick google search led me to nothing, so while I continue to look, it wouldn't hurt to have a thread up if there's a chance someone on here has what I'm looking for.

$36 is a pretty reasonable price for a 400+ page book, OP..

>>3917871
This board is full of cartoonishly republican guys. You won't get help like that here.
Sometimes, some cool people upload stuff like collections fo magazines and such, that are rare and hard to buy, but otherwise, most of these people are so Right Wing Autismo that they won't even Emulate, they collect and only play on physical machines as some kind of badge of intellectual property honor.

Try bookzz.org or something, library genesis et c. Or you know, the fucking search in qbittorrent.

>>3917938
Why are you even bringing politics into this? Sheesh man, get outta' /pol/ s'more.

Do the Japanese have the same reverence for the Mother series that Nintendo hipsters have in the west? I don't see that series brought up very often in Japanese discussion.

Bah, that book sucked.
Best book coming through.

This site ain't your personal delivery service. If you want something then go look for it yourself you lazy bum.

>Your personal feelings about piracy don't dictate mine.
Feelings? Also, YOU're the one asking a question with this thread so if anything you're just begging instead of doing what I suggested. If you don't feel like doing something with feedback then what was the point of making this thread anyway? Did you just make this out of boredom then?

>>3917938
I feel like you're projecting your own insecurity unto others. Right Wing? Autismo? Really? To add to that, where the hell did you get the idea that hardware owners never emulate and how the hell did you come to the conclusion they're using those "machines as some badge of intellectual property honor"??

You're just writing this to get others to reply, didn't you? You're not actually serious about that bullshit you pulled out of your ass, right?

Stop being a cheap sack of shit and just buy the damn book. $36 is a good price for a hardcover book with 400+ color pages.

>>3917938

I alternate between real hardware and emulation, depending on what's cheapest / most practical. Does that make me a Libertarian?

>>3917536
I can understand people tht have interest in localization, but I don't understand the grand thing some people make it out as being. It's translating a fucking game, how interesting can it be?! The fact that this exists blows my mind.

>not understanding humor

Spoken like a true Republican.

That was a joke. Lighten up.

This whole thread is to sell a book no one ever heard of right?

>>3918075
I'm >>3917947
I'm sorry anon, I feel like I've forgotten humor myself too.

>>3918076
Quite possible, asking for a pdf that only exists on his own computer. I get the feeling we'll start seeing regular threads about this as if it was a "thing". You just know some people are going to fall for it.

>>3917961
In Japan it's respected but not revered.

Mother is recognized as a quality series with a unique setting and great writing, but also a little rough around the edges in terms of gameplay.

What's your major malfunction? If someone has what I'm looking for and doesn't mind sharing it, then I benefit from this thread being up. If this thread wasn't up, I wouldn't benefit either way. I'm not acting like I'm entitled to anything here.
>Feelings?
Yes, your opinion on piracy. Are you trying to pretend it's not an opinion or something?
>YOU're the one asking a question with this thread so if anything you're just begging instead of doing what I suggested
I clearly said that I am still looking on my own time, and that this thread is merely in case someone on here is able to save me the trouble. How are you able to pull off so many mental gymnastics that you come to such a conclusion?
>If you don't feel like doing something with feedback then what was the point of making this thread anyway?
What feedback? "Google links", which I was already doing in the first place? I already explained the point of this thread like 4 times.

>>3918034
Not really interested in a physical copy, nor am I interested in spending any money. Sorry.

>>3918115
How are you so confident in believing your own made-up scenario?

>>3918638

>>3918638
> Not really interested in a physical copy
okay
> nor am I interested in spending any money
Then you don't really want it, do you?

>>3918638
Fuck off poorfag. Go download some roms

>>3918693
>Then you don't really want it, do you?
Well now that you mention it, yes, I still do want it.

>>3918696
Stay on /v/.

>>3918701
I'll stay here actually. Btw I have scans of the book and you're definitely not getting it.

>>3918053
It is in fact not just translating a game. And therein the interest lies.

>>3918076
Yep. This is one of the usual sad attempts at "viral marketing" that YouTube nobodies hope will sell more of their mediocre crap to suckers.

>>3917936
This. Quit being a jew op.

>>3918638
>How are you so confident in believing your own made-up scenario?

What do you mean how am I "so confident in believing your own made-up scenario"? I said it's "quite possible", I didn't say something like "it's definite".

Instead of posting an image like that as if oh man how lame and stupid everyone is compared to you try taking a look at yourself if it's not you who's full of shit next time. What you said to me doesn't even make sense on a very basic level.

>>3918053
> I can't wrap my head around the concept of someone being interested in something I'm not interested in
> It is mindblowing that someone has interests that are not identical to mine

>>3919467
>I said it's "quite possible", I didn't say something like "it's definite".
And I said "so confident". I guess "quite possible" and "so confident" don't seem to have any correlation in your head. It looks like you were to busy getting mad over a reaction image and playing armchair psychologist to actually comprehend what you were reading.

>>3918638
>gen z hipster faggot wants shit for free
golly what a shocker

>>3919681
I wasn't "getting mad" over it, it's just bullshit using images like that. I mean, what is the point, if it's not to try to make yourself look better? Those images are for little shit-for-brains kids, not serious adults.

How you say I'm "busy getting mad" itself is another dead giveaway symptom of a childish internet discussion. you can't come up with any valid point so you say oh the other person is "getting mad". Look at your image, just look at it. What is the POINT of it? Just a waste of human life, like this thread and like you.

Isn't this just all the articles from the site in book form? Why not just go to the website and read the articles?

>>3919753
Same reason why people keep buying physical cartridges/CDs and why fans of guys like the AVGN still buy DVDs with his videos. They want it to be tangible or they just want to support the creator in a direct way. Maybe they wanna be able to read it offline or without anything digital.

>>3917994
I loved the Addams Family game.

I hated the Simpsons, though. Fuck that shit was annoying as a kid.

I once sent Clyde this question and he made an article about it:

http://legendsoflocalization.com/do-zeldas-like-likes-come-from-a-japanese-proverb/

Ive known about these books for a while but I never thought of actually buying them. Maybe I should? I used to read the shit out of all of his articles, especially the full game translations for games like Final Fantasy IV.

>>3917994
is this real? :((

>>3919753
>>3919768
The book has more information than the site. You can see on each page of site, there's a section that lists the additional content found in the book.

>>3919746
Insults have to be based on some degree of truth for them to work, doc.

>>3919752
>I wasn't "getting mad" over it

>>3920449

Looks like >>3918076, >>3918115 and >>3919370 were on the money. Seriously OP? All that drama just so you hoped your book would sell more copies?

>>3917994
Is that a certain NES guide book?
