I only pointed out those items to the poster because of his claims to not be bothered by language. Figuring out what something is supposed to mean or be saying isn't difficult, but when a VN is riddled with mistakes and awful constructions, it really takes away from the enjoyment of it.Minor things, like what you just pointed out, do not bother me that much. I usually know what they meant. Larger errors do though. I haven't gotten to the newer content in this yet, been replaying it from the start.
I think the worst I ever seen was several screens in a foreign language totally, but that wasn't this game. My guess was whomever did the translation didn't check for errors or missed text.
But yeah, it depends on the severity of the errors. If I hate it enough, I'll demand my money back.![]()
I get that many of the devs don't know or speak conversational English - and may use something like Go-dawful-ogle to translate. Even if it isn't excessively egregious, it does start to distract, particularly when it is constant and there is no apparent effort to improve upon it. I've offered no-cost review to some of the guys that have otherwise good VNs, but awful language editing, in hopes of helping them improve. But, they don't seem to want to be better, and that is truly annoying.
