/vn/ - All Ages Edition

If you don't agree with me then you're entitled.

Why is she so fat?

At least his avatar is cute.

Moogy-dono

He is so wise

That Neil guy is a retard. The whole deal with censorship is we can't impregnate the girls anymore. Suou Amane is a slut and deserves a good pounding.

What are your thoughts on the translated Seinarukana? Worth the buy?

If you translate a game, don't remove or edit content. And if you do for whatever reason, offer an unedited version (or patch, or what not) in a timely fashion. This isn't really rocket science, people are willing to forgive a lot if you respect the community and their wishes. I'd think wanting an original and not something that has been arbitrarily changed to meed someone elses standard is a pretty normal desire. If that's considered being entitled, then so be it.

Sekai's issue from the very beginning is that they dismiss a lot of the fan base as being 'entitled', and hence not worth appealing to. At times it becomes outright contempt for a lot of the opinions people seem to have. And then Sekai has the gall to pretend to be shocked that people would be upset with them after "all they've done to elevate the state of visual novels".

For me it's just a very real part of the relationship that I want to see. Not to mention I just can't support censorship at all.

Game of the year so far. Though I've only played that and Haruka thus far

>we can't impregnate the girls anymore. Suou Amane is a slut and deserves a good pounding.
That's basically what he's saying. Its not that people care about the story, it's that people care about sexual gratification.
>If you translate a game, don't remove or edit content.
"No"

I like lolis ;)

Yes and I'm not pretending I'm holding off on Grisaia because the story was butched or something I want the lewdness

Thank you based Dovac for protecting innocent lolis.

Thanks, ZTD was a bit of a letdown, Root Double is being aite. Though I think I'd like to play Aselia before Seinarukana

Why protect Lolis if they're 18+ already. Let me sodomize them all already!

>Though I think I'd like to play Aselia before Seinarukana
Uh yeah play the first game before playing the sequel

It's currently on a tie so I'm posting it again, please don't shout at me!

Half the fucking story was sex jokes, the game could be one step from a nukige with a few tweaks here and there.

I haven't actually cared enough to read the "all-ages" version but I could bet my ass amane and makina's lines had to be heavily edited to get it under the all ages bar.

Yuuri is the cutest killer.

If Dies Irae gets announced is it better than Baldr Sky?

He is right in the usual obnoxious manchild Moogy fashion (complete with strawman, thanks Moogy), but he's missing the point here. The point isn't about the ero scenes in and of themselves, a lot of them are, as he says, pretty bad. The point is that there's censorship at all. No one wants this to be a normalized occurrence. Not to mention that content other than H-scenes has been removed in all-ages versions, so to imply that there isn't more at stake here is to be intellectually dishonest. It is a slippery slope, especially considering that companies like Sekai and AkabeiSoft2 are trying to sell the 18+ content as DLC.

For things like moege especially I think the H content is important. Those are basically relationship simulators through and through, and people want to explore every nook and cranny of the relationships while reading those, including the sex. It's maybe not the best comparison but look at romance novels; those are full of fucking. You don't see people actively trying to censor those and they're quite popular with college aged students.

There's barely a connection from what I hear though. At Jast's booth they even said something similar iirc

Dies Irae is the better novel but Baldr Sky is the better game.

I thought it was only a spiritual sequel but yeah, I will

No. If something gets translated it's automatically shit because I can't feel special anymore.

Much better. Baldr Sky is a good game, but the story isn't absolutely amazing. Its more fun to play than read.

They both become kusoge the second they're translated into english.

Are the H scenes necessary in Dies Irae?
What version would be best for them to localize?

Dies Irae is untranslatable. Don't touch it and don't think about localizing it, let it be pure and free from western people

These games (well, aside from maitetsu) are being censored because Steam doesn't allow certain content. Games like Gahkthun which had porn that didn't go against Steam were allowed. BTW, what is "allowed" on steam is largely determined by the ESRB (no adult content is allowed in games w/o ESRB rating) so take up your beef with them.
The best version of dies is largely agreed to be Amantes Amentes, which is all ages. That's how little the porn matters.
Dies Irae is roughly translatable (See conjueror's tl'd videos) but it'll be a completely different beast in english for sure.

Conjueror and Makoto are the only two who could do it.

it's just a fucking Vita port it isn't like they went out of their way to change anything else that isn't allowed by CERO

Yes, yes. I know that. And I don't have a problem with all-ages being on steam, but what needs to be ensured is that the 18+ version is also available at the same time. Not months down the line and certainly not as paid DLC.

Dies Irae just sounds like power level chuuni garbage. I don't understand how it can have a good "story"

I'm still not reading it until I get to fuck Mitcher.

If it's like Tokyo Babel I'm taking my own life. The good side is the world will be a better place

fucking retards not allowed
kissing is though

Mitcher is love but it seems she's gone full retard on the sequel. They retconned her whole route or something and now the other girl was an illusion and she never does clever things to keep the group together and shit

You'll be surprised, I know I was.

>Grisaia posting

it is very philosophical and it has tons of german wanking.

>that lego block in the middle

I unironically love Michiru.

>ZTD was a bit of a letdown
>a bit

Would you die for her?

He needs to get laid. Also, does he prefer one of those wimpy protags that are pushed around by everyone? At least Yuuji dictates the story

ungodly amount of complex memes, user

No, but I'd kill my pet cat if she asks me to.

god damn this girl is adorable. Her laughter and that VA as well as the cutesy bits are too much.

This is one moege/w/e I'd like to try but I've heard the translator didn't know much kanji and made up some parts of the story

wouldn't know but so far its been great.

there's a number of notable ones I can count on one-hand, none of them impact the story in any notable way though. nothing important is lost in translation.

Qoo little-little for mvp.

...

Thats not Putin's maid.

...

I think you might be gay user

>big cock
>not the girl being tiny

Why can't we all die for a change

IS
THAT
A
FUCKING
NIPPLE

Everyone dies, user.

Real talk? Why does Kuon not get a route? Not in the main game or in the fan disc, that pissed me off so much.

I would have loved her to replace Ran-chan in terms of routes.

i remember seeing this in the thp too. i laughed my fucking ass off.

Remember to complain in Twitter for the 18+ version of Baldr Sky.

Watch out, dovac will block you on twitter if you hurt his feelings.

god fucking dammit.

Well played game, well played.

God remains dead. And we have killed him

Cry your heart out Nietzsche

I like to think that I have a pretty healthy suspension of disbelief, but this VN is just dumb. Pretty much every character is a cunt, the drama is awful, and the art is kinda strange.

Mild Koichoco spoilers in the image.

What did she mean by this?

That you're her cuckboy

that the jews are behind this

I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

Seriously, I need that in .wav.

This is just like the AAA game devs from 3-5 years ago. Any time you criticize them you are entitled. But they act as if theyre entitled to your purchase regardless of what product they put out.

The thing is I can get their product without paying, but they can't get my money without me buying their product. Brings some joy to my shriveled heart every time I pirate one of their games.

> From 3-5 years ago.
> Not from right now.

I escaped this censorship bullshit from Atlus, Nintendo and others only to fall into the same trap in my final super niche refuge - visual novels.

Fuck, how does cute girls doing cute things get widespread enough appeal to have that happen? Fuck.

Nothin to do with being widespread m8. It's just got to do with laws and shit. If selling 18+ games were as legally simple as all ages then this wouldn't even be a topic.

localizations were a mistake

Except we never had or have this issue with MG or JAST. It's just Sekai Shitject taking a donkey shit on the entire media.

in good ol' AMURRICA town, so long as it's not actual CP or hyper realistic drawings of it, it's A-Okay.

Weird how those laws only regularly affect SP and not MG/JAST?

Well, the problem is that they basically need to sell on Steam to keep themselves afloat--along with the Kickstarters. I think they're too deep in at this point that they probably wouldn't be able to do anything else even if they wanted to. Their company has yet to have a single profitable year and the steam bucks is probably what kinda-sorta keeps them going.

I'm sure that being on Steam is probably a desirable option for Japanese producers as well due to the higher sales figures that steam nets, simply by being on the front page for a bit.

I really, really hate Sekai. But it's a complex situation and the blame can go in many different directions. They aren't SOLELY to blame for everything, I'm sure.

You forgot that MG is in Canada and they've done lolige, and we have far more strict laws than the US when it comes to pornography.

Literally zero excuse.

Isn't MG based in Japan? The President is also the President of Overdrive..

>Except we never had or have this issue with MG or JAST.
Jast literally had this exact issue with censoring Shiny Days recently
Manga Gamer isn't stationed in the USA so it's irrelevant to his question.
Seriously, what's with you guys and bringing up MG it just makes you look silly.
Most people are upset about Maitetsu. Sekai didn't really have a reputation as a censorship company until the all-ages Maitetsu fiasco, after all they released Nekopara with lewd. And, maitetsu's problem is indeed the young ages of the characters as you mentioned.

>MG is in Canada
kek no.

I remember reposting this pasta with a magnet full of CP
Nice times

And Doddler got to spend a night in prison and officially registered as a sex offender for his trouble.

Actually MG recently had some issues with a payment processor for Beat Blades Haruka, IIRC.

That had nothing to do with mangagamer.
