What the whole story was really good.
As a whole it was very fucking depressing, the whole theme was depressing and for the time it was made I would say what he thought of regarding depression and internet/VR and human communication was spot on.
I felt it was more than just a twist game.

/rlg/ is a great thread that's hit a bit of a rough patch in the last 6 months. It's also amidst a bit of a shitstorm at the moment now so maybe it deserves to die. That would be a shame though since historically it's been the longest running and most shitpost free and on-topic general on /vg/.

>>140618708
Someone is spamming Crawl patch notes from the last few versions for some reason. Elitism concerning roguelites, which have their own general now, is what made the general so good. That's why we should be more discerning in the non-translated discussion here to keep the thread alive.

This. Yurirei put up pretty damn good numbers. Although I imagine a fraction of those were idiots who thought they were getting full on porn when they saw that the H was being left in.

Story titles usually sell like shit whether they have porn or not. Steam isn't going to completely change that. It can help a game sell more, but high cost story titles are still a bad idea.

What sells:
- Nukige
- Fanservice
- Moege
- Otome (These usually have higher licensing costs, so I'm not sure how profitable they are)
- BL
- Yuri
- Possibly mystery/horror, depending on the title.

The western market associates VNs with dating sims, and that's what they usually expect from them. If a VN isn't focused on romance, then it's a tough sell.

>>140633641

Kindred Spirits sold surprisingly well.

>>140633884
All three of those have anime aiding their popularity. Not really fair to compare them.

>>140633884
s;g and clannad sold only due to anime association since everybody thinks theyre amazing

muvluv sold because people who already read supported it for other merchandise and got everybody else to support it as well. And then the extreme hype on KS made normalfags and shit interested as well.

What they have in common: They were already all popular before.

>>140632612
You may counter with>muh prose, but it really comes down to writing in the case of dies. The surface plot isn't really anything to write home about.

>>140634223
Which is excellent, but I was speaking of Japan.
It seems Yuri sells much more in the west.

>>140633935

Tokyo Babel and Gahkthun are sitting below 2k right now. Some how ghost yuri sold 3-4x than some story VN? I would never have thought that would happen.

I just started the Before route in Root Double. I feel confused because it feels like I've been thrown into some random shit without any context. Are you supposed to start with the After route instead?

>>140634794
Between 1 and 2 thousand is what most games sell for MG.

>>140634338
People just want Dies because of all the excessive talk and hyping about it, not because they like chuuni.
EOPs have no other way to want what to read aside from hearsay and you can easily skew this by having a few people talk about it a lot.

That's being a bit narrow minded. Or, too simple? I don't know how to describe it exactly, but in short, you're wrong. Dies Irae hype is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

>>140635696
Are you seriously going to draw the boogeyman card here, fuckboi?

At least TB's translation isn't as bad as Seinarukana. MG is the lesser evil compared to JAST.

Is Cho Dengeki Stryker any good? It's on sale right now on Steam, but I'm not completely sold on it. The art looks dated most of the time and the dialogue feels kind of stiff from what I've seen.

Dies Irae isn't even translatable so I don't know why EOPs keep talking about it and asking for it to be translated when it's never going to happen.

>>140635696
What's more baffling is that he has haters like you. Like, what? He seems like a pretty chill dude and he's living the NEET dream that a lot of people here are dreaming of.

>>140636049
I still can't believe the Flowers demo. It was so bad you didn't even to know Japanese to tell it sucked.

Dies Irae uses unique Japanese to such an extent that a translation will practically be a different work, that is just styled off the original Dies Irae.

Alright, let me know this.

Is Dies Irae's story and characters actually good? I hear people talking about literally only the prose every time it's brought up, but nothing about the stuff that actually matters. You can make the writing seem all fancy, but if the stuff that actually matters sucks then there's no point.

Story and characters > prose

Seinarukana had a bad TL and average editor. I don't recall MG picking the TL, but they just approached who was doing the fan translation at the time and stuck with that person.

>>140636505
If you didn't like Fate/stay night or Tokyo Babel, then you're better off passing on it.

>>140636505
It's a chuunige, the writing definitely matters more compared to other genres.

>>140636505
The story is fine, but more so than the "story" would definitely be the characters and their philosophy.

Also if you read Dies Irae you would know that the prose is very significant as to why the game is so great.

>>140636487
People who want translations don't want English translations. They want a pseudo-japanesenglish with honorifics and Japanese word order so they can pretend to understand japanese and say "i'm experiencing this just like a japanese person would! I=Japanese!"

>>140636315
Why do people treat learning Japanese like some herculean task?

>>140636505
The characters are excellent, the prose obviously extends to dialogue, motivations and character backstories.

But prose IS the thing that matters.

If you don't like actual literature (as in, classic literature), then you won't like it. It's basically lit meets chuuni.

>>140636630
Same two guys who translated Tokyo Babel translated Himawari.

>>140636065
>>140636256
Serious. If you like DI at all then learn Japanese. Any attempt at an English translation would completely ruin the whole experience and story as well as muddle up the characters and their personalities.

My friend here in a thread. I have find it. After a long years of searching many games I finally encounter a game that have the hetare man who do his thing that I am looking for. This the game who I speaking about. https://vndb.org/v15300.

The hetare man in the game have the same personality from the start to an end. He does not become a different man at all. He just take all thing the bully woman give him. The girls makes him clean the dirty period pad and panties with a tongue. The girls piss on him and his mouth. The girls shit on him. The girls makes him clean a shit off the asshole with piss he hold in his mouth. And this hetare main character man take all of it with the same hetare way for the entire game. Even in a end when he get all them pregnant he stay just a hetare man, he dont change. You give him name at start but everyone just call him joshiben-kun anyway, he have no objection to this, he just a hetare man to the core who doing his thing in a eroge. I cum so many times on this game already, I get a pain in a dick every morning. If another man reading the post here and want a hetare man game this what you look for. A thanks for the help my friends here, I post more when I cum more.

I'm pretty sure it's split. But professional translators will never ever go full weeb. With the fan TL scene dying you're going to see exclusively liberal translations from now on. Better learn to just enjoy those and stop caring so much about muh honorifics.

Let's remember Legacy of Kain games. The story is indeed interesting, but everybody remembers it for THE writing. I don't think the game would've been as known if not for it. Some may call it purple prose, but damn if it wasn't captivating.

So, sometimes, prose > story.

How is that an answer to what I posted?

>The VN community has been plagued by terrible translations for so many years it seems to have built the impression that a good translation has something to do with accuracy when it shouldn't even be a subject of discussion being just a basic skill any competent (rank 4) translator should possess (I mean, it's equivalent to saying that what separates good prose from bad prose is the writer's ability to spell). It's not much of a translation to begin with if it can't even be accurate.

Shitposters are going full-force today

>>140636505
I haven't played it, but from talking to people who like it and aren't obsessed with the word "prose", Acta est Fabula completed the game and resulted in a satisfying plot. Masada's prose is above average, but the plot and the build-up are the strong suit of Dies irae. And as someone else said, the character prose is good, not merely the narrative prose. It's not like certain other talented VN writers whose characterization can come off as weird and annoying.

That said, check your expectations, since Dies irae is just an 86 on EGS, and the prose isn't that impressive, before Acta est Fabula it wasn't that well regarded, and Acta est Fabula didn't exactly take the internet by start the day it was released. There are also reports of inconsistent pacing, but if you play long VNs you should have some tolerance for that.

If it ever gets translated, people are gonna be buttmad when they find out the all ages version of Dies Irae is the far superior one and likely the one to be picked up. Look at all the people who whined about Tokyo Babel for being no sexual content.

>>140639502
They'll translate the shitty initial version of Dies Irae.

>>140637627
Well Legacy of Kain is excellent because of the voice acting and the narration.

Japanese is an inherently awful sounding language and Japanese VA just don't measure up to the task. You could have the best VN with the best prose in the world and it'd still be leagues behind something like LoK.

>>140640637
Nah, Ayakashibito was pretty good. You just have shit taste, shitposter-kun.

I don't know about other people, but chuuni is much more tolerable for me in Japanese than in English. What sounds cool in Japanese makes me cringe when it's translated to English and I'm not talking about the quality of the translation. Those dubbed chants in tales games are just cringe beyond anything.

That's why you don't subvocalize the text and listen to the Japanese. It's like experiencing the original without translation pretty much.

Semantics. It's impressive but it's not "that" impressive. In fact, maybe >>140639494 is a bad example, because it actually looks like a rip-off of the prose in the prologue of 11eyes (which was, like everything, a rip-off of FSN). Honestly, from just that screenshot, the prose appears comparable to Kamiya (Kadenz). I think I saw better prose in a Senshinkan screenshot a while back.

Uh, I just assumed that when you said "straight up wrong" you were focusing on the word "impressive" and not the full phrase I used. If you think I'm "straight up wrong" for calling it not "that" impressive, then you're either seriously overestimating the appeal of Masada's writing, or you're just putting on a pedestal your personal passion for it. In which case yes, it's my bad for bothering to reply to that.

>like you can't judge a book by the cover, you can't judge the prose of a novel by a single screenshot.
Facepalming. The symptoms of prose-obsession is apparent here--in these 2 phrases you compare, you literally have the exact same thing, book/novel, yet for the latter instead of writing "can't judge a novel by a screenshot" you write "can't judge the prose of a novel by a screenshot". I wonder why the word "novel" even exists if you can equate the prose with the entirety of a novel. Oh, I know, it must be variation to make the prose fancier.

Never read it, but I'm pretty sure neither qualify as good.

It literally got approved by Conjueror. He thinks that it was a good translation.

>>140645562
Well he's as arrogant and self important like you. It's uncanny, Sheldon.

>I tend to lose people when I deconstruct what they say

Look at this shit, could you stroke your own dick anymore?

For me, I jumped into Majikoi when the game had finished all routes except Miyako. A short time later Majikoi S came out and I only played that for Monshiro aka best girl, which at the time Miyako was still unfinished. I never bothered with any the other sequels or the franchise after I played S.

It's on the level of Muramasa, and even better than the likes of Baldr Sky and Dies Irae.

You shouldn't believe what everyone says on 4chan when they willingly misinterpret other's words in order to shit on them further.

>>140645914
Seriously? Conjueror is a bigger shit than I thought.
