  1. Bought it right after work, was pleasantly surprised the the sol press store wasn't flagged as a fraud attempt by my bank. Still had the same downloading problems that I have for EVERY localizer website, but whatever. Finally finished downloading after half a day, patched, and start playing for a few hours. Than I noticed a disturbing lack of "wholesome" content. 

    Turns out the solpress version's patch doesn't work correctly, yet. :amane:

    Sounds like a dream for any man in such a situation. I'd certainly let a good looking wiman "take advantage" of me then 8) before fucking off after sex or in the morning. I havent read this yet so im only assuming thats what it was as no woman would ever do that for any other reason.

    It seemed aggressively possessive and that she wanted it to be a long term arrangement.

    I'm five chapters in and so far I'd say Kaya has made the best impression on me.
    I find it very hard to like Mitoko. 

    Fair enough, I excused allot of Mitoko's shortcomings due to her age and stress brought on by her responsibilities. Kaya is definitely less terrible compared to the lot, but I feel she comes off a bit to strong

    Spoiler

    and I really disliked how she took advantage of Osamu's second firing, by getting him drunk and kinda forcing him to stay at her apartment. 

    I've read a few more chapters and I will say that my views on Kaya and Asami are softening a bit, still quite a ways from "like", but no longer despise.

    Himeo is still a rich selfish bitch though.

    Bingo.  It's amazing how many unlikeable characters this game has.  I can recognize the quality of the VN, but I just don't like it.

    I mean I still haven't finished a route. Starting off unlikable and going through an interesting arc that changers their personality, would definitely be satisfying, but Jesus are they starting at the bottom. 

    Fingers crossed, we need more good visual novels with older protagonists. 

  5. Man, I was planning to watch the first two seasons of Date A Live, to prepare for the new third season. It is quite disheartening to hear that not only is it animated by another studio, but the quality is noticeably inferior. 

    Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! is a pretty good adaptation of the manga, which is good for people who like yuri with only a dash of pedophilia.

  6. My New Years resolution was to spend less money on this fucking game, so far I have spent $400 :amane: (including my Christmas spending for Merlin). On the plus side I now have Merlin, Musashi, and Gramps. On the negative side, I have increased doubt that I will ever have the financial responsibility required to move out of my parents basement.

    Stance? What stance? I've only said i dislike the improvisations and for me it's not worth buying. Whether or not he keeps his job is not my business and i frankly dont care. Try not to rage, discuss in circles and gang up on someone and perhaps insults dont fly.

    Ah, so two or three translation decisions have completely ruined the rest of the visual novel for you. I now understand the totality of your linguistic intolerance and will no longer bother you. 

  8. Came out of my Fuwanovel vacation to see more of the dumpster fire that is Spanish Dudegate. Glad to see I was not disappointed. 

    I'm simply amazed at this emotional response to a relatively small part of the entire translated work. 

    Granted this is coming from a relatively clueless reader that didn't notice anything strange with the original fan-translations of Hoshizora and CrossChannel.

    In the video posted above, the guy mentions that the former "Morality in Media" organization, that claims to be behind this, has set out to ban Mass Effect and Witcher from Steam too ;) They just started with anime titties, as that was easy target...

    Ok, while this is still bullshit, I'm actually allot less angry now. I would much rather the culprits be genuinely retarded, rather than pretending to be retarded.

    Although Valve can still go rot in hell for listening to them. 

  10. Seriously, wtf valve? They claimed that the entire reason they don't curate their storefront was because of visual novels, because they didn't realize there was a market for them so they don't know what else will sell. 

    There have been plenty of people throwing a bitch fit about the asset flips and completely broken games that are thrown up on the storefront, but they have never done anything close to real curation with that pile of shit. 

    So I suppose this means that the Witcher games will also have to be censored or removed...... right?....... right?!...... OF COURSE FUCKING NOT! 

    Hypocritical self righteous bastards. 

  11. For some reason, Avengers seem to hate me. I got a five star servant in both the Edmond Dantes and Jalter gatcha, but neither of them were for the advertised servant. They were both servants I haven't rolled at least, Vlad and Francis, so I couldn't really get mad...... it's just a really complex feeling of happiness and disappointment. 

    I'm curious if the 700+ rolls I have saved in the friendship gatcha will be enough to get Angra.

    ...... oh right, rate up is a lie or whatever..... 

  12. Am I going insane, or are people just stupid? There are quite a few people who say that the Fate/Zero event is switching places with the da vinci event because "It will bring more people to the game". Which seems like the pinnacle of retarded, because if the localizers thought similarly and had the power to make the decision, wouldn't the F/Z event happen much closer to the games' original launch? and not, you know, nearly a year after? 

    Is there any actual evidence of this change in the schedule? Or is this just idle speculation? 

  13. If it is a tight, finely crafted, short story with a deliberate message, fine. However, in any character driven traditional narrative, especially in a mystery, FUUUUUUUCK NOOOOOOOO. We need to be clear about something, there is a difference between making the reader work for the story..... and just not having a story. For example, the souls games each have a story, but very little is expressly told. It is up to the reader to find all the pieces and connect them, sure some of the nuance and details can be debated, but the overall structure is solid. You can't tell a completely different story from the pieces given, just slightly different variations. 

    Having a story with an ending, that is intentionally vague or designed like Schrodinger's cat, is the same as having no ending and telling the reader to insert their preferred ending here. 

  14. My rating system is mainly emotion based.

    If it actively pisses me off it usually gets a 1-4.

    If I am bored to tears, but everything is competently made it is usually a 5.

    6-8 is anything that engaged me on some level, be it the comedy, art style, character development, or story. 

    9 is reserved for something that made me openly weep at least once, or it has great masturbation material that I never get sick of, or caused me to skip meals because I didn't want to stop reading.  

    10 is only for things that had an actual impact on my worldviews, my beliefs on the world changed in some way because of the visual novel and therefore made me a different person.
