They aren't. The only people who review them are already fans.

You don't. they almost always have a near 100% rating.

The problem with most japanese anime-style games is that only fans really give them a try.

Grisaia on Steam is a shitport without ero and no way to patch it back in.
Neptunia games have ratings around 96-98% as well just cause only Nepfanboys buy them.

>>322868931

I can't wait for Nepnep to question what keeps the islands of Gameindustri floating and they go on an epic quest to meet the fat man who is the CPU of the Steamwerkz.

>>322866821
The ratings are not to be taken seriously. Weebs rating porn high is the same thing as shit eaters liking scat porn.
The problem is that you have to buy that garbage to review it, and nobody except desperate virgins do buy it, so they are the only ones to rate it. Same goes for any fanservice game ever like neptunia

>>322869281
>Kindred Spirits on the Roof

That's mangagamer. They're "one of the good ones", as far as japanese porn game companies go, in that the only offensive thing they do if jew you to pay more for the uncensored version.

The entirely anime porn game translation business is an incestuous orgy of a handful of contractors used by everyone.

Literally none of the people actually translating Sekai Project's games are salaried. The guy who translated grisaia for example, went on to a mangagamer contract right after.

This makes me happy, Sekai project is a fucking awful company. The VN medium should really be left in the hand of the fans. Grisaia is almost a straight copy of the fan translation. And least we not forget the Michiru Idol spinoff that got completely fucked.

Why buy eroge with the ero removed, you keks?

>>322866884
It's a pretty fair point, there's a huge slice of games wherein the only people likely to look at them or buy them let alone review them are going to be people with a vested interest or a fan already. Weeb games are a significant part of that slice.

Honestly, the ero is usually the shittiest part of these games.

The real issue is paying for an 'official' translation that's either worse than what you can get for free that isn't censored, or is just a complete copy of the fan translation.

Like, didn't they sell Clannad recently and it was basically the same as the original translation?

For a VN this is top of the line. It's not without flaws, the routes are a mixed bag and are in general worse than the common route, but it's still pretty good. If you're into VNs then just pick it up, you can't go wrong. If you're new to the genre just pirate it or something if you're afraid you'd get burned.

>>322884264
You don't have to add anime games there. Literally 90% of steam reviews are people trying to make unfunny jokes to get some dank upboats.

>>322884070
You're clueless if you think the reason why things are untranslated is because they're bad. No company makes a VN, sees it sell in Japan and then thinks
>well it's trash, let's not translate it
Instead the idea of translating it doesn't even come to them, since they're 100% focused on the Japanese market.

And if you're talking about the English side, maybe you should check Mangagamer, they're translating tons of random third-grade nukiges, because they sell to EOPs. And fantranslations are practically non-existent nowadays, if we don't count attempts at machine translating from Fuwanovel, which go nowhere.

And hell, I doubt quality was Koestl's major concern when selecting what to translate, otherwise he could have chosen made VNs much better than Grisaia.

Which brings me to the fact that "top 20%" isn't "top of the line".

Also your choice of words
>You can be an elitist gook shitter all you want
suggests you're an EOP, so just shut up. All your ideas about majority of VNs are probably crap you read here on /v/ or some Reddit.

And no, I'm not denying there are many trashy VNs coming out all the time, but hey, reply like I'm doing it anyway.

No, actually writing is the most important thing.

I'll name some untranslated VNs notable for their quality. I'll just their Japanese names, so you can just look up videos yourself on Youtube easily. Or their soundtracks, if you feel music is so important. You can also use the Japanese names to search on VNDB, that works too.

It doesn't translate everything perfectly, but it's enough to understand the context and what they're saying.

>>322888793
Well, you obviously are really stupid, but that reveal surprising you isn't one of the signs. The reveal itself was dumb as shit because it introduced some of the most nonsensical bollocks you could think of. The obligation to "not exist" you are punished for your crime by us forcing everyone to ignore you or be deported to some hellish prison... The writing had some really fucking dumb shit up until then, but there it literally pulled it's pants down, shit in it's hands, rubbed it all over its cheeks and then put their pants on their head and did a handstand.

I think you don't know what it means. I'm the one taking your games and playing them with no effort needed, fuccboi. While you learned a dead language which has no use.

>>322889031
Machine translations only work for simple titles with basic dialogue, and then you only really get context.

You're literally ruining games for yourself if you play them with machine translation. By all means, use it for some generic H-RPG to get the gist of the generic story of a female knight getting fucked by orcs, but it's not something you want to use in an actual story-based VN.

>>322889308
But it was shit anyway.

Going from koestl, who is one of the better translators out there, to some fuckwit was probably a pretty big quality drop, though.

>>322875826
There's problems with Sekai Project, but at least look at legit points. Grisaia isn't the problem.
>Grisaia is almost a straight copy of the fan translation
Because fan-translation team worked on official one, and they already put shitton of work to base script.
>Michiru Idol spinoff that got completely fucked
That's because of other fan-translator from Fuwanovel who got DMCA, but then decided to send his work to Frontwing, who then demanded that Sekai released it.

>>322875826
>The VN medium should really be left in the hand of the fans
Sure, it's great when only overhyped shit gets translated at questionable quality. And I'm sure companies also love it when the fans think that there's nothing wrong with them getting the games for free.

Sekai is shit though.

>>322889569
Second game retcons basically the majority of the first game and goes with the worst routes as canon. Mitchiru is just schizophrenic for example rather than getting her shit sorted out.

That sounds like a bit of a stretch, if the whole "it has really fucking complex dialog and shittons of it" thing is true. And a year is peanuts to me, but the problem is I'm juggling a shitton of things at the moment.

It's actually pretty solid guide.

>>322891457
That guide is hilariously terrible.

>>322891334
I started 5 years ago and now I'm reading it with no problems. I just don't believe you would be able to read it with no problems in 1 year.

By "with no problems" I mean not having to look up pretty much anything, which I don't have to. Perhaps an odd word here and there, or some dialectical grammar. For mythological concepts coming up in the story, Monobeno actually explains them to the reader, since MC's sister, Natsuha, doesn't remember much about her childhood and traditional practices from Monobeno, so that's used to explain things to the reader.

Also I'm not implying 5 years are needed, that's just when I started reading it. But 1 year just don't feel like enough.

>>322891598
How so?

>>322891630
You might have been going pretty slowly.

>>322891771
Or you might consider having vocabulary look-up always on to be "reading".

To blog more, for first three years of my studies I didn't read any VNs at all.

>>322867350

>>322891712
Of all the recommended options, Tae Kim is the only one I'd ever recommend anyone to use. And even then, it's not a great resource for English natives.

>>322891889
3 years without reading a VN is pretty crazy, they're great learning tools. It's best to learn new vocab from a native source instead of a list, because it gives context to the word and helps you remember it.
