    killerjuan77 reacted to sanahtlig in Visual Novel Orders - Good Deals, Nice Steals   
    Many great minds have wondered why J-List charges so much for imports.  I wonder if the reason is that they're buying the games at retail price instead of wholesale price?  Usually in retail, merchants buy the games from the publisher at huge discounts.  This allows them to heavily discount the games as time passes and enthusiasm wanes.  But what if retailers had to pay list price?  Obviously they have costs, so they'd have to markup the price substantially above the list price.  Why would J-List have to pay list price?  Maybe their sales volume is ridiculously low (the market for Japanese language games in English speaking territories probably isn't very large).  Or maybe, the publishers don't appreciate J-List selling their "Not for sale outside Japan" titles outside Japan, and therefore refuse to sell to them at wholesale rate.  Just some theories.

    killerjuan77 got a reaction from Melanite in Hentai   
    I love that part. She had nothing to add to that conversation.
     
    Also the guy from that video sounds suspiciously like Yugi's english voice in Yu-Gi-Oh.
     
    More fantastic dubs BTW:

    I swear dubbing hentai must be the greatest job on earth. I'm pretty sure everything is ad-lib so it would be like an entire career of Ghost Stories-like dubs.
     
    Same here. I usually hate h-scenes since it's mostly obvious that they're there just to please 1 or 2 blue balled otakus. Specially if they're written by Nasu. They just drag the appeal of a VN down since most people think it's porn.
     
    Although... Kara No Shoujo had a fantastic use of them since if you get to an h-scene you should load your previous save since you are probably going to be murdered in the next 3 minutes. The game's sex scenes are hidden game over screens.
     
    I also didn't mention this but I find hentai utterly mysoginistic, at least 98% of the time it's based around rape, psychological torture and many other things... (Just thinking about Night Shift Nurses or Bible Black makes me shiver in the sense that it was suppossed to turn people on) The plot usually never justifies it so it's even worse.

    killerjuan77 reacted to sanahtlig in [News] MangaGamer announces four new titles at Otakon 2014   
    So it's official--all-ages Steam releases of eroge with 18+ versions in English are possible.  This means that Mangagamer won't have to rely completely on nukige funding for sustainability.  This is important because their story-focused eroge releases in the past have tended to be unprofitable.  I worried that the incentive to release long story-focused titles would disappear.

    That's because it's actually fucking terrible. VNDB agrees, otherwise they wouldn't score it almost as low as Dustmania Grotesque and Tasty Shafts.

    killerjuan77 reacted to Narcosis in H-Scenes. Really necessary?   
    Define "sexual norm". In the end, what you get is actually just a voice of majority. It's the exact same as with democracy being an opressive state of the masses against the rest. Even if we're talking about moral norms, they have nothing to do with sexuality, since everything is purely subjective and each place on this planet abides by different sets of rules.

    You can't convince people raised in a strict moral enviroment; the same thing that feds people with arguments to justify homophobic and xenophobic behaviour towards everything which is different to protect their blessed state of affairs.

    I find it funny people always take those lighthearted topics so seriously.

    Learn to enjoy what you get and don't forget that something you may not like, isn't necesarilly something, someone will dislike as well; Having choices is good.

    I can agree. The main problem is that Manga Gamer itself is it's worse enemy. Instead of focusing on genuinely interesting story based games they prefer to work on "classics" such as "Suck My Dick Or Die!", "Miles Knight Of Anal Tyranny" and "Imouto Paradise".
     
    They are seemingly unable to listen to feedback. In the sense that nukige can screw itself and that Kickstarter could be a great plattform to fund more plot based projects. Unfortunately even when they have the chance to open up the VN market they just can't deliver since they are a living contradiction. Just look at their constant teasing of a possible Euphoria translation (Which admitedly is quite extreme, even with the surprisingly good plot) or even more Innocent Grey games that end up being ignored constantly.
     
    That said... I did preorder Sakura Spirit, just because I'm a masochist that can't believe that game isn't a nukige. I'll post impressions as soon as it gets released since I can't imagine it being very good. The artwork is surprisingly decent even if does cater to the Ikki Tousen/Highschool Of The Dead/Queen's Blade audience way too much.
