What's the best version of Snatcher for EOPs?

[Anonymous No.5723547]

Isn't only one translated?

[Anonymous No.5723576]

The one where you stop being an EOP.

[Anonymous No.5724336]

>>5723545
The one that's in English.

[Anonymous No.5725338]

>>5724336
Which one?

and they gave this dude a five head in the PC-Engine version.

[Anonymous No.5725721]

see
actually, comparing it the Sega CD version it seems like the American team had time to clean up some of the bad drawings as I noticed a few like with Mika and Gillian on the conveyor belt or how they fixed the foreshortening when Gillian poses with his Blaster and how Harry's front pocket is positioned wrong

[Anonymous No.5725736]

same with the sound when navigating the menu, in the PC-Engine version when you select something it makes a light thing noise while in the sega cd they changed it to a loud boop sound and also the obvious marilyn monroe poster changed to madonna

[Anonymous No.5725775]

Sega CD. It was late enough that it shipped with all of the content, but early enough that it wasn't censored to hell and back like the PS1/Saturn version (The very small amount of censorship can be bypassed with a simple passcode if you care)- and the game is available in English.

And is a pretty solid localisation on top of that.

Fuck me. How have I gone this long without knowing this? What does it uncensor? Alice twitching?

[Anonymous No.5726268]

It's ESL, i.e. English Second Language. EOP is pretty much used to refer to anyone who doesn't speak Japanese, even though it literally means "English Only Peasant" and ESL means we knows languages other than English (in my case, I'm a native Spanish speaker).

Then again, one could argue that since videogames are pretty much divided between "released in English" and "Japan only", EOP may as well mean "can only play English games peasant".

Pretty much any game not released in English that is from a country other than Japan is not worth playing.

That might not be true, but it's fair to say in discussions where the word EOP is used they're ignored.

There's no uncensor code in the Sega CD Snatcher. I don't know why people keep spouting this shit when it's been disproven for decades now. The only thing entering Konami in Jordan does is that it plays a tune, but it's the same for all the version of the game.

What was censored isn't that much anyway. A scene that had a dying dog with its organs exposed was altered so that the dog is already dead, a dead snatcher has its breasts exposed and a shot of Katrina's bare buttocks was covered by Gillian's head when he walks into her showering in his apartment. Also, they replaced all the movie/TV show cosplayers in Outer Heaven with Konami characters, but kept the bartender dressed as a Metaluna mutant for some reason.

Story-wise, they changed a few names and character designs, and they also moved the year of the story from 2042 to 2047, which messes the timeline a bit (but it's not really that noticeable if you're not paying too much attention). They also added a few extra scenes in the ending to cover all of the game's loose ends, which Kojima wasn't too fond of apparently.

And they changed a few things too in the localization like how Gibson ate buffalo but in the original it was whale meat and a dish they serve in one region in Japan (some kind of dumpling you dip with a sauce) was changed to Neo Kobe Pizza.

I never understood why they made this change.
>and a dish they serve in one region in Japan (some kind of dumpling you dip with a sauce) was changed to Neo Kobe Pizza.
It was ネオコウベ焼き/Neokobeyaki in the original, which is a fictionalized meal based on Takoyaki.

The Japanese version has more options that allows Gillian to act more like a sex pest (at one point you even get to show the "proof of your manhood" to Katherine).

[Anonymous No.5726948]

>>5726830
i like the takoyaki more but i guess they changed it to pizza to diversify the setting

[Anonymous No.5726962]

>>5726830
>which is a fictionalized meal based on Takoyaki.
Wrong it was Akashiyaki. Which itself is a variation of Takoyaki so the meal does exist.

[Anonymous No.5727035]

>>5726948
I'm guessing Blaustein was too lazy to explain what a Akashiyaki was to the player, but Neo Kobe Pizza is such an odd name.

>>5726962
I was under the impression it was a bit different from actual Akashiyaki. I know the recipe was posted somewhere.

[Anonymous No.5727225]

>>5726392
The also changed Katrina's age since she was 14
in the original iirc.

(((Blaustein))) that's your problem.

Download the Sega CD version and emulate it or burn it to a disc if you have a console.

[Anonymous No.5727759]

How do I burn it?

[Anonymous No.5727798]

>>5727712
EOPs praise Blaustein all the time, but seeing his work on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and then playing the JP original makes me realize why Kojima kept him on leash in the first place.

[Anonymous No.5727891]

>>5723547
technically SD Snatcher, which was ironically one of the first retro games to be translated to english by a fan-team

that one actually had a semblance of an "Act 3" and proper ending before the pc engine remake came out

[Anonymous No.5727970]

>>5727891
The MSX2 Snatcher also had a fan-translation. Technically, the PC88/MSX2 Snatcher was not unfinished, they deliberately left out Acts 3-5 from the game in order to save them for a potential sequel, but Konami abandoned that plan due to how long it took them to make the first half. That's why they made SD Snatcher instead.

>>5726830
I thought Neokobeyaki was a take on okonomiyaki, which is often called "Japanese pizza." If I'm correct, and I'm not saying I necessarily am, Blaustein's choice of calling it "Neo Kobe pizza" wouldn't be too far off, right?

I don't know why people here get their panties in a knot when they see the term EOP thrown around.

Nobody is saying that there aren't any good non-English video games outside Japan, but the majority of the older Japanese video games are unlocalized and even the few that were are compromised in so way or another. You either, learn the language yourself and experience the game without the aid of a translator or just wait for someone to do a fan-translation.

She is basically Jewpanese.
