Q: What are your top 3 favorite eroge?
SCA-DI: That's tough. How about three of my personal favorites, and my objective top 3 eroge ever? Top 3 eroge: 1. Fate/stay night 2. Dokyuusei 3. CLANNAD
Jace Johnson
If H1/1 did anything right, it's lips and maya
Jaxon Perry
Name a more based VN character
Brandon Cox
>have money >get something for free >still the same amount of money
>have money >buy it instead of getting it for free >have less money Show me the logic
Landon Scott
You will eventually no longer be able to get things for free once the localization companies shut down and you will be back to eating the scraps that the cartel throws at you.
Daniel Jones
>make thing >no one buys it and they instead choose to get it for free >stop making things
Hudson Davis
me and my cats
Alexander Thomas
lmfao holy shit
Nathaniel Miller
If everyone would get them for free in the future we would end up getting newgrounds-tier flash games
Oliver Butler
...
Blake Nelson
If they stop localizing then we will just go back to fan tls which is absolutely nothing new, so while the going is good you need to exploit it.
Oliver Hill
>Pay for VN translations >Get more VN translated It honestly wasn't that hard
William Hall
>Ixwreck
Charles Hughes
Sorry I haven't responded to any reply, but I did not have anything to say about the responses given. So lemme instead ask a may more productive question: what is your experience with JAST?
James Gomez
If you look at the current community, you haven't got as many fan translators as before and the official translators won't start working for free.
Tyler Edwards
M*ogy and cronies absolutely BTFO
Jack Walker
they're pretty decent
Jaxon Cook
>Hatsukoi >2/5 E+ cup
>Hoshi Ori >A, B, C, D, D, E+
>Ginharu >4/5 E+ cup
Jose Turner

Jackson Anderson
Muramasa will take around 20 years to get released. I bought the physical version of SnU.
Aiden White
Then the old will go away and the new will come in and the main reason you haven't got as many fan tlers is primarily the free kickstarter dosh then if tlers have no one to sell the translation it becomes a fan tl to be released, then all goes back to how it was, problem solved.
Carter Fisher
Large tits are better than small. Deal with it.
Zachary Russell
Hoshi Ori is the Holy Grail!
Leo Diaz
...
Lincoln Russell
>large non-anime breasts are better than small ftfy
Evan Brown
>and you will be back to eating the scraps that the cartel throws at you. So it would be the same as right now except that its the cartel instead of shitty localization companies?
Alexander Brooks
Large tits can reach gross levels pretty easily. I'm fine with small tits as long as they aren't boy chests.
Luke Phillips
Even worse. Just look at the months long droughts that we had years ago.
Bentley Brown
Prove to me that my one(1) person purchases would have any noticeable impact at all on the VN scene.
Jaxson Martinez
Yeah, let's just reset the scene to zero because of poorfags.
Brody Peterson
>So, WagaHigh OC never? Never. Nude Sprite patch also never.
Fun fact, they removed the ejaculation choice option in the config too. SP Best company in the world :^)))
Lucas Richardson
You are implying that everyone should be a filthy pirate like you. That makes a difference.
Christopher Stewart
a true connoisseur understands that the best breasts are the ones attached to the girl he loves, regardless of size
Ethan Ortiz
So only that one(1) faggot would not buy anything ever? Sounds unrealistic.
Dominic Gonzalez
this, the issue is not nearly as big as you people make it seem, it's not a blackmail where if you don't pay you will never see any translations again. It has always been a niche carried by fans for fans. localization companies are relatively recent creation and they may not stay for long, at least some of them, stop getting up in arms.
Nathan Collins
You were mocking a dude that paid for his VNs which implies that for you a smart person wouldn't buy them but yeah sure, keep moving these goalposts
Alexander Cox
removed due to causing a memory leak for some weird fucking reason.
Jordan Brown
You are too spoiled if you think that you will keep having regular releases with localization companies out of business.
Grayson Scott
Semen too stronk
Owen Morgan
Compare the rate of VNs translated when localization compagnies appeared to the rate before and you will understand why no one want them to go.
Elijah Phillips
Mankitsu Happening translation never.
Julian Russell
Also more than half of the fan TL projects die before being completed.
Gavin Bennett
Why are people trying to romanticize fan-translations now? do we have that much new people? We used to get like 10 releases per year max, some of them of terrible quality that took years, and half the scene were TJ and Ixrec. As much as SP sucks they still pump up shit faster than the old fantranslations, and counting all the official releases we have like 5 times the number of releases per year now. I can't get how people think we'd be fine with things getting like they were before.
Caleb King
It's true. But we used to have Aroduc pumping out gameplay VNs every year, not even that long ago.
Nathaniel Phillips
Oh nice, what did you get with it? I guess it's in japanese though, correct? that's good to hear
Nolan Walker
Then SP happened. Fuck localizations.
Logan Perry
Unless we get new TakaJun's, Ixrec's and Aroduc's, things will be even slower than they were before.
And he is gone.
William Carter
It is in english.
Gavin Turner
What a coincidence, I'm reading her route right now
Adam Brooks
>wanting a new Takajun literal ESL who barely understood English past a middle-school level
Camden Hall
>Fuck SP.
Connor Stewart
>And he is gone.
Carson Ortiz
>Why are people trying to romanticize fan-translations now Nostalgia for the "good ol' days" though I strongly don't think anybody really "romanticzing" it lived through it.
You guys gotta remember, a lot of those projects didn't (and still haven't) get finished
Justin Cooper
Read my sentence again.
James Brown
Not having "regular" releases is not as bad as it sounds, oh no, less moeges and edited tl shit from sp, woe me. It sure is much better to just go on a shopping spree so everyone can just keep on pumping out the crap.
Why are you sucking tl companies dicks so hard now? Hey, but you can get 10 more moeges and marinas cuckolding report if you do, amazing treasure chest of vns.
Jordan Martin
We are still having December's without angels thanks to some faggot's "fan translation" years ago.
Hunter Fisher
>vn purchasing fags so desperate to keep the "western vn scene" going that they gladly eat up literal garbage being churned out lol
Easton Bell
Are you even trying to sound convincing?
Gabriel Martin
I love childhood friends Especially Sumika!
Matthew Sullivan
Yeah, let me download the fan translation patch for literary masterpieces like Wanko to Kurasou and Galaxy Angel.
Nicholas Lee
To be fair, I don't have much of a problem with localizers. If they just licensed their shit and put it out, okay, whatever. I just have a problem with SP as a business and the Kickstarter method of translation projects. It's bullshit
Wait, which one are we talking about?
David Flores
Are you? Because i'm still not convinced in any way buying vns is anyhow necessary.
Yeah, let me download half sp "translations", they are official so they sure have to be perfect!
Blake Hill
Everyone here shits on SP
Lincoln Sanders
>but you can get 10 more moeges and marinas cuckolding report if you do, amazing treasure chest of vns. How exactly is that different than before?
And you're operating under the impression that people don't like the idea of 10 more moeges.
Levi Lewis
But they start as lolis in ginharu
Andrew Bell
That's my only issue with them. Licensing titles and never releasing them. And SP can burn for all I care.
No one here is shilling for SP.
Adrian Lopez
Kei best girl
Julian Edwards
This. I loved the lips. And Maya above all.
Austin Walker
>Yeah, let me download half sp "translations", they are official so they sure have to be perfect! If we're downloading them who cares? It's not like we're buying them
Brayden Evans
I'm now sucking anything, I'm just pointing that times are better now, and it would definitely be bad if the companies died. Also people like those moege, are you going to pretend that people don't want moege now?
Zachary Jackson
You can read an article about how offer and demand work.
Colton Lopez
You never fuck them in that form so what does it matter?
Alexander Turner
People even wanted them years ago
Jason Howard
And people still want moege. Your point?
Austin Collins
Literally this, how can someone be so dumb and not get this?
Luis Collins
I was reinforcing your point that even back then fan translators were releasing plenty of them.
Ian Edwards
Ann really is cute
Elijah Foster
I love you, /vn/!
Charles Gonzalez
I assume someone has mental capability to recognize a pattern after reading 5 vns with nearly identical heroines and plot devices. pointless hopes
sp is as much part of tl companies and the argument as mg is, singling one or another out is bordering on cherrypicking.
Jack Ortiz
perfect, I'll just get that one then. Good lord, I really should have double checked that there is no physical copy around. I just don't expect that anymore. Thank you!
Christian King
Literal 14 year old logic from grown men. Embarassing.
Christopher Baker
I love you Mikan, I love you too.
James Fisher
Suck my dick, Wanko.
Leo Smith
>ejaculation choice option in the config Is that similar to Dracu-Riot's auto choice during H-scenes or the choices during H-scenes are cut? Is it large of a loss then?
Jeremiah Gomez
...
Nathaniel Sanders
And you should have the mental capacity to recognize that people like their cliches in different packages.
Josiah Anderson
God damn it user! Here I will make it simpler: I would rather X VNs translated by tl companies and Y vn translated by fan translation than just the Y from fan translations and no, fan translators are not going to magically appear if the localization companies disappear.
I dunno what you mean by "not as bad as it sounds" but getting a third of the number of releases we currently get because tl companies went out of business sounds pretty bad to me.
Nathan Roberts
Holy shit, how long has it been since this last showed up?
>I assume someone has mental capability to recognize a pattern after reading 5 vns with nearly identical heroines and plot devices. pointless hopes So this just comes down to you not liking moege then? Even though, as we've established, there's never exactly been a shortage of moege getting translated even back in the fanTL days
>singling one or another out is bordering on cherrypicking. I single out SP because they're the only ones who solely rely on the KS method and have like 40 something VNs still in TBA. I don't really care about the others
Asher Ramirez
...
Christian Williams
When when when?
Parker Gutierrez
>several underagefags on the poll >grown men
Nathan Cook
>Poorfags unironically trying to rationalize not buying things I pirate stuff as well, but I won't delude myself into the BS you're saying.
Elijah Cooper
it's been a while since i saw someone other than myself do it
Sebastian Wood
IS THAT...!?
Gabriel Stewart
It's just your mind playing tricks on you.
Ryan Perry
HELP, MY VIRGIN EYES ARE BEING RAPED
Jordan James
I think it's less people rationalizing not buying things and more like wondering why people do. Things would be easier if everybody could just let everyone else live.
Also the conversation started because someone wanted to buy their VN from Steam instead of just getting it from JAST which got lost in the discussion
Jackson Scott
>the future is Meet'n Fuck games How horrifying.
Zachary Brooks
Holy shit, I seriously hope you guys don't actually buy visual novels
