Frostyfirefly: JAST games in GoG?! Nice! It would be cool if they brought in Demonbane :-)
As in Lovecraft-mecha-hentai Demonbane?

TheGrimLord: We joked about Starless or Closed Game just to see if GOG would really do it, haha.
Are those even that much worse than the VenusBlood games? I've read Starless and Closed Game multiple times, but never played any of the VenusBlood games. Just looking at a bunch of screencaps for Hollow right now, and it doesn't seem any better or worse than what I know is in Starless (uncensored) or Closed game.

§pec†re: What is wrong with the translation?
avatar
Marcus-Havoc: That is yet to be seen. Seeing as most people that actually checked the translation have completely abandon buying them legally or are going for the full Japanese version. Arunaru did some translation for Manga Gamer and their translation were sometimes very lazy, and he eventually got triggered when fans called him out on his translation, but instead of trying to improve himself he got triggered and started to do even more loose translation to mock the true fans.

He is supposed to have badly translated the Sengoku Rance mythology and even meme'd the game or even made child like translation choices. There used to be a compilation image, but they are getting harder to find these days.

After he complained about not getting paid enough by Manga Gamer, he started to bad mouth the company and blame the bad translation on them rushing the translations. Kinda childish when you take into account he defended the bad choice. But then again, translators are getting lazy and have started treating the consumer like mental retards that couldn't possibly understand even the basics of Japanese customs.

Kinda like that compilation list of how much of a scummy company NIS America is with their translation.

You used to be able to find the information really fast on VNDB but for some reason it became harder and harder to find information about it on that board. Some suspect they are covering for the western VN publishers.

Have you read the link I posted a while back about more bad translations being done these days? Or censorship for the sake of the triggered folk? For instance, flirting being taken out cause it triggers the nut jobs or completely rewriting stuff with a different meaning. Yen press and Seven Seas entertainment have actually completely removed parts of light novels cause it triggered the localizers/translators.
The translation is fine, JAST is stricter on translation standards than MangaGamer.

And as always, anyone that disagrees gets downvoted and or removed from the conversation.
Let them burn, they obviously don't listen to 'many gamers', they listen to money.

Holy shit are you serious? So it has scat and torture and cutting off the penis? Starless is a masterpiece in degeneracy. I don't see how anything could compare.

Hey... Wait a second. How did you read Closed Game multiple times? It just came out!

Yep. The horny diaper wearers are crying again. Downvote us and continue to hasten GOG's collapse more, idiots.

PSA: Jast USA has a demo for VenusBlood HOLLOW in their site in case someone wants to get an idea of how the game is before buying it. The demo is DRM free as well.

That doesn't say all that much. Seeing as when people called out Manga Gamer bad translation, they all defend it as being up to their standards and if you didn't like it you could get a refund. In other words, not addressing the main issue and just brushing it off.

It even got so far that Manga Gamer staff were ridiculing its own fan base on all fronts, and still the company defending the entitled sleazebags. (With that I mean the leaked discord messages) Thank god one person in that discord still cared about the community in general to show the light.

I will do some digging and decide on what information I can find about these two games.

As the person above said, there is a free demo, so feel free to try it if you dont want to take my word for it.

What the heck do other games that are published by Manga Gamer, have to do with these games by JAST USA which are not published by Manga Gamer?

How is your beef with Manga Gamer relevant to this thread, and these specific games?

Yeah, I'm serious. Some of that in Starless wasn't even officially in the JAST release, so assuming it did come here it would be a censored version anyways. Just looking at some of the screens (not here) and the full list of tags for the VenusBlood games they seem just as "bad" if not worse in some areas.

And dude... Closed Game released back in May. I know because I bought it day one on JAST. In what world is that "Just came out!"?

The guy who screwed up Manga Gamer translation was hired to do one of these games. It was announced during the Kickstarter, which turned me off. I asked in a mail to JAST USA if they were hiring him to destroy more translation but never got a reply, so I'm kinda cautious.

You might say why the beef, but the majority of these VN publisher have the same problem. Ignore the actual translation to a point that they will make up shit for the sake of the normies. Nekonyan for instance overly inserts swearwords where there were none.

Not just that, but there are even translators that demand they make up bullshit if the original meaning triggers them, so I would question any localization of Japanese content.

Just out of curiosity, Why worry about how something looks in general? Or even judge it on that?

You see people sometimes praising games that aren't even games, but they think they are quality because it looks nice.

Walking simulators are considered games. While they are actually just movies, because they barely have any gameplay, yet they still get praise as long as the graphics look good.

You say that they only listen to money, as if that is a bad thing. GOG has curated the hell out of games over the past years, and it seems that didn't improve their standing, so what do you expect them to do, go bankrupt? Or stay afloat with simply releasing games with some erotic themes. Eventually, it's still the masses that decide what is or isn't quality, or else you'd be demanding that GOG become your private storefront that release only what you deem quality.

In general, it would be smarter if they made an option to turn erotica on and off for the easily offended. But seeing with today's society, they'd need to do the same for people who are afraid for different opinions.
