Now that JAST USA is onboard, I hope we get Aselia the Eternal and sequel. :)

Personally I hope for Saya no Uta

Holy crap is this ugly. We've been getting so much anime crap and porn in recent months it's not even funny any more.

GOG is completely insane if they think this stuff will dig them out of their hole, while rejecting solid and requested titles both old and new, and failing to make sure existing games are properly updated.

At least we know now, that GOG is willing to put everything, that really sells, into the store. Adults only be damned.

I hope they go back to other previously rejected titles like the CAVE shooters or other stuff. The LESS "curation", the better. Real junk won't sell here, so just try everything at least once.

JAST games in GoG?! Nice! It would be cool if they brought in Demonbane :-)

Is the gameplay of Hollow improved over Frontier? I kickstarted Frontier and played the game, but found the gameplay to not be engaging.

By the way, if you are a fan of the hentai portions of Frontier - check out VenusBlood Chimera. The perverse action is considerably more varied and hardcore, with gameplay that is much more appropriate than Frontier: A focus on "training" a trio of ladies to extract energy from them.


Anyhow, it is good to see GOG opening up. Hopefully they do what Anime-BlackWolf hopes and seek out previously rejected games. There just isn't any reason to skip on worthy games, be they perverse or otherwise.

For once I agree with you on atleast the first game in this release dou and to a degree the second one but it looks way better then the first link ..As these borderline the ''chibi '' and ''super deformed'' style of some anime and manga but these lack the cute and endearing look of those .. the art style in fact looks worse then some mobile game art styles I have seem with similar for example the pc port of a IOS title ''Rogue wizard'' it has a look to it of a similar art style but its cute and endearing ..

I was actually the guy that informed Blood about the possibility of Jast's games going up after the release of Evenicle. We joked about Starless or Closed Game just to see if GOG would really do it, haha.

But I didn't expect the VB stuff to go up. Makes sense because these are games. You can actually disable all adult content from the main menu. And again, these are legitimate SRPG games as applicable as anything else on the site. Hell, VBI reminded me of Warcraft or Starcraft. You have to raise units and build bases, I believe. It has a story, which I am told is quite good. So please give it a try. Don't let the adult tag frighten you, these are pretty fun and challenging games.

What is wrong with the translation?

This guy always complains about the translation on these games. You know what they say, if you don't like it than learn the language and do it yourself. I'm gonna agree here. They need to bring back the rejected games.

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.

Now that's more like it, hmm. Thing from Another World: the Anime Love Story, was it? Seconded, heh.
