    This toxic attitude regarding translations needs to end.

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted · Edited by douggle

    I may have agreed with your sentiment a few years ago, but these days we have official translations, and  to be honest I d rather NOT have a translation than a bad one. Case in point the friggin Joke that is the White Album 2 "translation" that mess started 6 years ago bout 5 days after I made my vndb account and its a disaster! I am not so desperate for Visual novels to read that I m willing to stomach whatever shit show thrown my way and neither should anyone else.(mind you i've completed over 160 vns with no end in sight)

    Been an while since I ve put something on hold, but I decided to stall out on Noble Works. Its just so.... mediocre. I liked Dracu Riot much more in terms of cast, and story, the setting is more interesting in Dracu Riot, so I've decided to start up Trample on Schatten

    Finished Evenicle which was incredibly fun, Aster is a great MC and the Wives were pretty great as well I liked all 10 which is odd with a cast that big you d think there  d be at least one bad apple in the bunch but nope! Also finished Chaos;Child which was a dark, somber, sometimes terrifying but overall bittersweet experience, was a great read over all.

    It means you should get your wallet ready for another Kickstarter xD

    I think thats exactly what it means. But we'll see how that plays out quite a leap from Suspending Operations to Overseas release in such a short time span though.

    Started up Da Capo 3, I ve managed to finish Himeno, Ricca, and Sara's route, honestly the vn is simply gorgeous and while a bit repetitive at times about certain details, Its a really enjjoyable read especially compared to DC 1 and 2

    Recently finished Subahibi and Karakara2, Subahibi was a great read, though I still am rather perturbed by looking glass insects, overall its a great experience, Karakara 2 while short was pretty enjoyable though I admit I am a bit annoyed about the cliffhanger ending.

    So I recently finished Nekopara Volume 3, Maple is freaking adorable, so is Cinnamon... and man the hscenes this time around were on point (usually I m rather neutral when it comes to hscenes in general) , I've also started Hatsukoi 1/1 which I am still in the common route, but it looks to be pretty promising so far. Also finally loaded up Chrono Clock. Still really early into that one too.

    I hate to play devil's advocate here, but if people are so hard-boiled about English translations and are gonna be super picky, why not just learn Japanese so you can read the original content? I know that seems like an asshole thing to say and I'm not trying to be. However, while it is a slight distraction to see some of the bad translations that Decay pointed out, they don't seem to ruin the enjoyment of the VN as it was intended. When you look at VNs that have tens of thousands of lines of text, and you pick maybe 10 out that are bad, isn't that a bit much?

    I've played VNs that have bad translations in them and, while distracting, it didn't really ruin the overall enjoyment factor. I think the frustrating part for me is that it takes a LOT of time to get an English translation and games normally don't get a second translation, so the fact that we have English to read at all should be appreciated. However by that same logic, I also appreciate the counter-argument that it should be done right in the first place.

    Note I'm not making excuses for bad translations nor am I saying it's acceptable. I guess I'm just saying we should all calm down a little bit and maybe appreciate that the translation is provided in the first place.

    I'd agree with that sentiment except that being that this was a crowdfunded game those people kinda footed some of the bill.

    Finished Season 2 and

    i found the lack of character deaths so far to be quite odd. I guess Higurashi and Umineko made me bloodthirsty.

     

    Oh man.... you are just starting to get to where it gets real 

    Finished up Aries and 2048(the space section) in Himawari, its been a surprisingly emotional ride.

    Started Rose Guns Days and i'm impressed at the balance between the fast-paced and slow-paced portions of the story. Both are just enough for you to not feel overwhelmed or bored, hooked so far.

    I loved Rose Guns Days, its a really good read overall and the music is top notch, It only gets better in each additional season
