Hey, I’m getting acknowledged for something! Yes, this is all I have to add to the thread. Cold Steel is still being Cold Steel. I’m close to where the In Media Res part is supposed to come back, so I guess we can see how well the super suspenseful cliffhanger is resolved. Trails to Azure doesn’t exist, why do you ask? 3 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: ...What am I even complaining about?

I think it's been patched now, though. Just looked it up and it's... interesting XD 5 hours ago, Benice said: I tried playing video games in French instead of English for a while, but since it was Dark souls 3, I didn't read any of the item descriptions anyways. I should actually try playing a Yakuza game with a french translation, since they're rather text heavy. I tend to really not like game translations in French XD I find they often try to give the meaning without keeping the flair of it, so it all sounds kinda terrible. Well, not that I've played that many, but usually, when I see French versions of game characters, I can understand the intent, but I'm really iffy on the execution XD Especially card games I feel. Magic: the Gathering in French is atrocious. Also Pokémon. I guess it could still be useful, but I'd recommend listening to movies instead, probably. You'll get the pronunciation at the same time and they're usually translated better, I find. Then again, Yakuza has more scenario to it, so it could be closer to a movie than other types of games in matters of dialogue execution. And maybe they even have voiceovers XD I tried playinggames in japanese at some point but... It was kind of too mucch of a slog to search for every kana and kanji cause I wasn't used enough to the writing and then I didn't understand the meaning of a lot of stuff so also trying to get those translations XD If I practice more and actually learn to read at least basic japanese, I might try that again.

Well, perhaps French didn't get as much love. The German localizations might be good as well, since Yakuza 3 inexplicably got a Germany-exclusive version- which is odd, because the localization budget to English was so low they had to omit a decent chunk of the game's side content, and Yakuza 3's German release is the only European-exclusive release to date, I believe. 5 minutes ago, Sooks said: Soooo… my takeaway from this is that I should play Berwick.

Well, it would be very fitting in Japanese. I unfortunately can't talk much as I haven't played a single Yakuza game, let alone in French, but it might be a good practice tool since you love the games a bunch ^^ That takes me back to my localization days. It's so fun to find discrepancies between... dialects? Basically, some things said in French don't make as much sense in Canadian-French... or at least not the same kind of sense XD I'll always remember testing a game and finding the subtitles "On s'est tapé une vache" when people hit a cow with a truck. Only thing is that Quebecois slang implies doing the devil's tango with a foul-mouthed or overweight person (or even a cow itself) with that sentence and it really feels out of place XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched a French movie this year, (Les Intouchables, it was very good IMO) but I certainly noticed a lot of language differences, (Vanne instead of Blague, for example, and people swore like sailors) though it could just be that everyone I interact with uses imitation French.

While I can understand toying with a certain awkwardness of disrobing in a medical situation in entertainment, I don't ever care for it.

I'll say yes. Regardless of whether or not you're viewing them, the sex scenes exist, and are part of the package. And if the game wasn't an eroge at all from its inception, it may not have been written the same way as it is actually written as an eroge with the naughty stuff optional, even outside of the xxx parts. 56 minutes ago, Shrimpresident said: Would you believe me if i tell you the game is about a 'Nuclear' catastrophe, the mystery sorrounding it, Mechas and Ai? And because japan and VNs, they need to add sex scenes, but i am playing without them Well sex is supposedly at the origins of the genre. Not sure why that would be. Other than making the semi-feasible assertion of pornography probably being as old as holy scriptures as a literary genre, and if so asserted, it could follow that the same is true of video games. Being a totally niche form of gaming, the inclusion of sex might keep its customers few, but then may it also assure a certain audience? VN sales are rarely large, perhaps clinging to the filthiest of readers is a viable strategy for breaking even? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rubenio Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Honestly though, as much of an impulse decision as it was to start this run, perhaps it was a bad idea to play FE7 alongside Vandal Hearts 2. I'm already considering calling Vandal Hearts 2 better than all of FE, just straight up. Blazing Sword, of all games, just doesn't compare lol. 12 minutes ago, Sooks said: Yeah… I play a lot of people’s recommendations here, but don’t do a lot of recommending myself, other than shilling the games that were originally shilled to me.

Some writers admit, and it's pretty obvious. It's just like the sex scens in murican movies. It doesn't make those movies porn movies. Even less since it's like 1-2 scenes every 20 hours or so, usually. I am not gonna not read a story i might like because of something like that. However, there are VNs specialized in sex, those are called nukiges. They are all about the naughty stuff 25 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: but then may it also assure a certain audience?

Like Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime removing them in re-releases/remakes, for example. Big Publishers don't add them because they don't need to.
