>Sexy Open World is coming out soon
Cant wait.

I am convinced 2025 is going to be a huge year of releases for VN's.

>>47916687
2023 was probably the best year for visual novel translations we've ever had, so I doubt it will beat that. What from the OP even has a decent chance of releasing in 2025 that would also be "huge"?

>>47916754
I can agree with 2023 being the best year for VN translations. But I mean like overall releases as a whole like the amount. The fact so much will be out rather than waiting for new things is actually something I am happy about.

Wait, Sleepless Nocturne is also confirmed by MG? Jeez, can't believe we'll be up to date on Seishoujoge

>>47916805
Unless Steam stops being a bitch about it, I doubt we'll see a lot of releases next year.

>>47916687
It'll be the year Oppai Maid Academy TL releases, so yeah. It'll be a great year.

>>47918221
It's just how i see the whole releases. 2024 has been a very low year of releases. But it makes sense when you look at all of the companies releases charts that it would hint to 2025 being just tons of content releasing overall. I am talking about JAST and MG store on my end.

Although I still do wonder about Steam though if there can be any changes done to the approval process and any dialog to get higher approvals if it meant that releases would take longer to come out.

>>47920455
There clearly was a change in the approval process for about a year after Chaos;Head was rejected, but then it reverted to the current mess.

>>47916754
>>47916805
I can't member a single 2023 release. Then again I stopped being EpOoP during the coof. Even under the assumption there were 2-3 noteworthy EOP releases last year it wasn't a good year and not as good as the 2018-2020 times when MG weren't dead, SP still released okayish shit and NN did their job because they had to compete with ShitPress who released akshually cool shit that NN's now stolen from them. Out of them all NN's been fallen off the hardest, barely releasing anything. MG and SP are also on life support. Shockingly JAST have released more since the coof than in a whole decade before. Almost forgot about ShiraVN, they started so great and then stopped releasing moeshit and slowed down a lot. DMM's probably realised there's no money in the West.

>>47922606

Nukitashi 1, Eustia, Rance 9, Tsuki:Re, Fate/EXTRA CCC, Clover Days, Lupercalia, Sona Nyl, Tokyo Necro, Tsui no Stella, Iroseka, Mahoyo, White Album 1, Majikoi A-5, Walkure Romanze, Paranormasight, Hirahira Hihiru, H2O, Chaos;Head Noah (CoZ), Anonymous;Code.

>>47924699
No one's talking about what's the best or what's not though. I didn't bring up rankings, I'm talking about ratings. I highly doubt you've read every single one of those VNs listed so you're just looking at them, seeing they're liked and saying they're shit without even having read a single word of them, AKA being a contrarian retard.

>>47925146
Are you retarded? Do you know how rankings work? They're rating based.
I also didn't bring up their scores or even said which of these are good and which are bad, you're a schizophrenic retard incapable of logical thinking, maldnig because I don't like fucking slop.
Most of these VNs were shit and it's an undeniable fact, much like most media in general being shit and most people being retarded. If this filters you then kill yourself and tilt the % towards a majority of the intelligent.
I'd spit in your face if I could, uneducated monkey.

Yes? They're still two completely separate things though.
>I also didn't bring up their scores
I know. I did >>47924560 to which you responded with >>47924651 which led us to here. Remember?
>Most of these VNs were shit and it's an undeniable fact
The majority of people seem to disagree with you. Now if only there was a word for that behaviour. Oh wait I think I found one (pic related)

>>47925195
I don't think they're shit because im a contrarian, I think they're shit because they're shit, retard. This opinion wouldn't change regardless of whether they're loved or hated, you don't even fucking comprehend the meaning of the word you're trying to use, ape. A contrarian is someone who dislikes things solely because they're liked by the majority. The sole purpose is to be contrary. It's why it's used to call people out the way you did, for having no arguments and just hating things because the majority likes them.
>remember
??? do you not understand the point of my sentence? I was saying I do not care about their score or if they're liked, as I did neither know it nor bring it up, imbecile.
>if only there was a word for this behaviour
this behaviour as in the majority disagreeing with me? Yeah, retaration. The behaviour of claiming most is retarded? Yeah, science, intelligence, knowledge, pick one.
Actually, don't, just fucking stop talking to me, you're retarded. Go enjoy your iroseka trash, it's rated high aterall! (I actually don't know nor care)

>>47925322
Just as a quick aside. Can you tell me the 4 games from the list you think were worth playing?

>>47925342
Tsuki;re, Hirahira Hihiru, H2O, Eustia.

>>47925358
Can you tell me what you didn't like about Rance 9, Sona Nyl, Lupercalia and Tsui no Stella?

>>47925464
Is it shit or decent? Make up your mind.

>>47925443
"decent keyge" is still pretty shit

>>47925436
see >>47925464 I heard and saw enough of it to know. it also doesn't drag on for 100+ hours of repetitive narcolepsy inducing SOL

>>47923202
All pretty good except for Sona Nyl and Tsui no Stella.
Eustia, Rance 9, Mahoyo and Lupercalia, were the best releases. Bonus for Iroseka.
Also, since I mostly like 100+ hours of 'narcolepsy inducing' SOL, Gin'iro is already this year's uncontested best.

>>47927146

Reads more like a proper book than a LN/VN, there's nothing "special" about it, it simply oozes literary quality. No pacing issues etc, just a good, well written unique story

>>47925413
you're missing the best rance. you dont even need to grind in 9, and it's piss easy as long you played at least a couple jrpg in your life. give it a try.

>>47935794
>you dont even need to grind and it's piss easy
im not about to treat a lack of dogshit mechanic (grinding) as something positive by itself. Laughable difficulty isn't a + either.
My issue is with the entire series being shit as is the case with everything running long enough and getting popular. Enshittification was the word iirc.

>>47929313
It's just usually contrarians that pretend they are unique and like things despite things being popular for a reason. If Hirahira was popular but not Rance you can bet he would defend Rance and say Hirahira was trash.

rance was always a gay power fantasy for japanese incels

>>47935863
>things being popular for a reason
popular /=/ good.

>>47935677
>Reads more like a proper book
Only people who don't actually read say shit like this, LNs are "proper" books and not even the nadir of what gets printed and sold in stores in terms of literary quality. VNs are a different medium entirely and something that reads like a regular novel is a conceptual failure that would simply be better off as a regular novel.

>>47935677
If I wanted to read a book I'd read a book. I read VNs because they're written like... VNs.

>>47935879
me and my chiigyu brothers will be dropping fat loads in shizuka and kanami and you will not

>>47935993
>VNs
Im not saying it's 100% a book with environment descriptions and other time wasting garbage.
>only people who don't read
No, there's a clear difference between how LNs and books are written.

>>47936004
see first point above

>>47936099
Then what about it makes it feel like reading a book?

It’s still in the early stages. You have no idea what the finished patch will be like.

>>47936608
He did an even worse translation than Ixrec but added a few interesting twists born from that madman (him) mind.
But if you don't care to much about the faithful translation I still recommend it as his version is very... "unique".
