You know that when there's only 3 posts in the thread and 2 unique IPs, it's easy to tell that you're the OP, right?

In any case, it's a bad game because Working Designs localized it.

It's still fun, I don't think the changes hurt Popful Mail much.

While I really like WD's localizations, because I don't care if the story becomes silly with silly jokes; I'm playing to have fun, not to care about sub-par stories.

But damn their gameplay changes make me crazy: the bosses in Popful became annoyingly unfun (too fast/strong/resilient), and it really breaks with the slower pace of the rest of the game.

Don't get me started on Silhouette Mirage.

If you don't care about an incredibly unprofessional localization, that's your problem. If you're going to insert jokes into the dialogue then hire someone who can actually write jokes. Most of the game's dialogue reads like it was written by an 8 year old.

If you don't care about the story then just play the Japanese version smoothbrain.

Great, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT - Final Fantasy VIII.
Awful, downright ABYSMAL - Final Fantasy IX.

Great, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT (except for the last boss) - GRANDIA II.
Awful, downright HORRENDOUS - Grandia III.

Great - Shadow Hearts.
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT - Shadow Hearts II.
Awful, downright ABYSMAL, utterly HORRENDOUS - Shadow Hearts From The New World.

Video games are just entertainment, stop being so arrogant.

And nigger jokes are funny.

The difference being is active entertainment, not passive. And active entertainment has aptitude metrics by definition.

How would you rate Koudelka?

Very solid 6, but only two play-throughs TOPS (one for sheer story, second for 100% completion - which is an ASS considering the absolutely RETARDED ASININITY in HOW you get secret items/equipment in that game). The initial concept was butchered to no end, we pretty much ALL know the "story of Koudelka's troubled development", but there are so much leftovers that game turned out to be friggin' mess sheer gameplay-wise. However, the music is good and voice acting, especially Koudelka's, is AMAZING. It's a decent play if you wish to know the origins of Nemeton and Koudelka, but you really should NOT play it BEFORE Shadow Hearts, otherwise it loses A LOT of the impact when you're playing Shadow Hearts later. However, ALWAYS remember that this pertains to only ONE of Koudelka's endings.

Vanillaware games are literal hand drawn assets, so they're basically playable paintings.
