Well there is a reason why the more complex games dont make it over(too slim a market for commercial companies,too much required reverse engineering and large scripts for most TL-groups).
Venus Blood Frontier was recently announced for a western release alas considering the subject matter of the series Im not sure it will do all that well(then again Rance did despite Alicesoft´s trademark rape fetish so who knows).
The western market doesnt really offer anything compareable(well I guess Sunrider kinda tried but fell flat on so...oh so many levels).
And hey,one can always go for another run of Big Bang Age =D (or for most people Sengoku Rance I suppose).
Ay this went completely off topic.
*cough* was actually talking about the Sunrider series by Love in Space *cough*Sunrider's bend or break Korra game wasn't to bad. Not the best but not bad. Played it a few times to get a hang of it and it was surprisingly well thought out. I especially liked the dialogue where Tarlok argued that he and Korra are rather similar, and damn; did that hit home. I've never played his other games but I can say that I enjoyed this one. Despite their being no good endings. Only bad ones; sadly. Which is a small failing in and of itself.
Yeah, I think they may have been pretty much identical, save for some minor differences like you said. Just thought I'd toss it out there, as I didn't remember too specifically.Huh?Are there really different endings for whether you dom Azula or make her your waifu?
Far as I remember they both pretty much are the same bar very minor dialogue changes.
Well actually all 3 routes transition into Book 3, so none of them are objectively "correct" in terms of advancing the story. If you choose to stay with Azula, you eventually go on a walk with her, she gets knocked out by the spirit, and you proceed to Book 3. If you choose to run away with Mai, you also go on a walk sooner or later, and the same thing happens to her, leading to Book 3. Even if you choose to leave both of them and run away, you'll eventually come back to the kingdom, and after a lot more events, go on a walk with Azula.I meant the ending that moves the story along, forcing you to go into the next book. Which is the one where you go with Mai.
Ah yes,the eternal hurdle of moonspeak.
It takes a certain mindset to make up for that through machine translations and pure horrid trial&error(which still wont get you far with some of the more complex games like the recent entries into the venus blood series).
Having said that,both JAST USA and Mangagamer keep trying to bring over more complex games(sadly JAST underperformed both times with Yumina the Ethereal and Seinarukana,Mangagamer is doing alright but only focuses on their partnership with Alicesoft which resulted in Rance 6,Evenicle and Beat Blades Haruka coming over,with retranslations of 7 and 8 in the pipes)so maybe look into that if you so desire.
First two Bunny Black games also got translations if I remember correctly.
"Huge" implied differences,yes,but I was talking about the actual execution of the ending(or to be more clear,an actually different scene).There are huge differences to be honest.
[...]
I am especially fine with both the love and slave route and content with the tone that is being set in the story. It goes far yes, but not too far which is fine with me in all honesty.
The western community actually went through some incredible growth considering it has only been a little over ~2 decades and the product being inherently foreign.You guys are gonna find me arguing about this until the end of time, but I firmly believe that VNs and just eroge in general will never take off in the US (or even the west, for that matter) as successfully as it has in Asian countries (particularly Japan). Of course it's our silly culture over here. I feel like the overreliance on Christian values and morals and all that shit has led the US to just generally fear nudity and eroticism in media and culture. Hell, you can't even show a vagina in most mature media, but words like "fuck" and intense gore are fine! I could go on and on about how we need a mini cultural-sexuality revolution of sorts over here in the States, but to cap it off: the sad truth is just that if you want the deeper, more developed, generally better VNs and eroge games, you're gonna have to learn another language or patiently wait for a translation.
>_>15 years ago it was rare for people to even admit that they play video games,these days I keep meeting weirdos freely discussing frigging hentai.

Aw comeone gimme a bit more credit here,I was obviously talking irl(which,yes,makes the whole thing really weird,Im still pulling grimaces whenever I catch someone talking about it).>_>

honestly i gotta say tho, it is a bit weird (and helpful with Q/A) with a forum FULL legit 10k people per day, OR MORE commenting on pornographic cartoon games XD but we must not exclude ourselves when we actively post nearly every day. Now, now Saraf.
oh god i didn't realise you ment irl o_o... no no that would be odd. altho with all the guys at work talking about their sex life aswell as females i guess porn games don't really bend the bar to much? eh idk tho "yea i fucked this girl yesterday yada yada" >.> vs "yea i downloaded a furry loli game and jerked off half n hour XD i see your point.Aw comeone gimme a bit more credit here,I was obviously talking irl(which,yes,makes the whole thing really weird,Im still pulling grimaces whenever I catch someone talking about it).
