an what do you know? it's fucking garbage, it plays similar Hellnight but it lacks the charm and soul Hellnight had
and i cringed so hard at the premise of the story
>dude Le Yin & Le Yang!!!
embarassing, Kusoge's Gate was not worthy of all that hype and shilling
now i wonder what's the next Japan only Hidden Gem™ will recieve an underseved fan translation next instead of an actual decent game for once
>>
shitposting aside the game is great and I'm glad more people will be able to play it.
>>

>shitposting aside the game is garbage and I'm sad more people will be tricked into wasting their time on this slop only to be left disappointed and their interest in old retro games will diminish as a result of shit like this being shilled and hyped to clueless people
fixed
>>
>jap only "hidden gem" finally gets translated
>is mediocore at best
a tale as old as time.

You're the same anon that claims "anything good was already released for ME in MY country (The United States) and if it remained in Japan that means it's BAD" and now you're trying to perpetuate the cope after the hole you dug yourself into and will continue to samefag again and again.

It's sad that you think we're not seeing right through (You).
>>
>>12625260
that's not true, there is a lot of PS1 fan translations i enjoyed such as SMT, Langrisser 4, Clock Tower, King's Field, Growlanser, those two Suikoden visual novel spinoffs and..... eh well that's all

Give it to me straight, doc: How's the translation quality? What did they fuck up?

This has the one that I've been waiting for, but I don't want to bother it's been "localized". Non-trolling answers only, please.
>>
>>12625236
If you're really playing the game, post a screenshot of where you last left off.

Post your save file. Or did you delete that too?

>Gameplay revolves around talking to one guy and then using slow-ass node based movement to look for another random guy, talk to him and then slowly walk to another random guy on the other side of the map.

I am fundamentally opposed to mixing money and romhacking/fantranslation.
Hillslop runs a patreon where he, and he alone, rakes in close to $1000 a month for himself, then has a rotating team of volunteers do the actual work on his projects.
Therefore, this clashes with my basic beliefs about how fan work, romhacking, and fan translation of any kind should work. The quality being low (but high enough to fool normalfags) is a separate issue, but one that fools normalfags into thinking that this sludge is somehow worth paying for or supporting.
>>
>>12628249
meh, we share this board with subhumans throwing their money at their ''hobby'' of hording games they will never play
someone asking for donations to his fan trannyslation is nothing, and be glad he's not throwing a trantrum at the websites hosting his fan translation for free
>>
>>12625236

I hope it's Brightis
>>
So is the game actually good or no?
>>
>>12628369
Try it/look up videos and make up your mind.

I played it in Japanese and, although I didn't fully comprehend everything, I enjoyed the JPEG dungeons and overall atmosphere of the game.
>>
>>12628442
Did you not comprehend it because you were bad at reading Japanese, or because the game is confusing?
>>
brb downloading it now. Fuck the shitposter, the rope is waiting for you.

>>12628249
>The quality being low (but high enough to fool normalfags)

It's a bit slow like most FMV-based adventures, but its feel and visual aspects are crazy, and having a combat system (kind of a turn-based RPG one) is a plus. I'm liking it so far.
>>
>>12628249
I wouldn't call $1000 a month "raking it in", I'd call that "part time job" money at best.
>>
>>12625236
Just started playing this, had to get some cd-r's in to burn it off but they arrived today. It's got a cool vibe so far, reminds me a bit of baroque, but I doubt I'll like it nearly as much as that.
>>
>>12628453
My japanese knowledge is basic and I played some parts without looking up/translating the words I didn't understand.

The story and dialogues are easy to follow even without knowledge of Feng-Shui and such.

Nigger's Gait is a hidden gem because it's hard to spot it in the dark

>>12628691
Goemon translations are pure dogshit. All the games on the super famicom in this case.
>>
>>12629737
Same anon here. There are too many examples from those games to count, but the #1 thing is how the translations absolutely ruin the humorous scenes in these games.
>>
>>12628249
Who gives a shit? Give me the fucking translations I will use for my pirated games, I dont even care if they are accurate enoug or not I just dont want to look at gook runes. Or are you a butthurt troon who worked for him free or was dumb enough to give him money?

pretty sure hilltop is against AI, but both this thread and the one on /v/ are shitting on it anyway for other reasons
and nobody has bothered to play it because they'd rather shitpost

>>12629737
He's never worked on a Goemon game so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
>>
>>12630006
it's ''Kowloon'' with double O
see? even you misspelled it faggot
>>
What exact ISO image/hash does this patch work for? I have the Japanese iso's downloaded from years ago but they're the Shokaj Genteiban versions. I'm surprised this information isn't in the readme.

Did you actually check the accuracy before saying that? It has a pretty blatant mistake in just the opening monologue
>JP: このまま陰と陽が不用意に交わることにでもなれば…世界は意味を失い、必ずや崩壊してしまうだろう。
>EN: If Yin and Yang are allowed to recklessly collide like this, the world will lose all meaning and surely fall into total ruin.
Meanwhile the tranny patch says
>Fan Patch: If we allow the two worlds to intersect any longer, both will lose standing, leading to mutual collapse
The second clause is specifying that it's our world that will collapse, should Yin and Yang intersect, not the worlds of Yin and Yang.
>>
>>12629745
A poster who robotically says "dogshit" is useless as a judge of someone else's writing.
>>
>>12631257
>lose standing

The hell? Who would use that phrasing, regardless of the other alleged mistake?
>>
>>12631257
Unfortunately the translation you provided is too long to fit the captions so your argument is invalid.
>>
>>12631324
Yeah, cry more, Hilltop. Maybe learn Japanese while you're at it.
>>
>>12631324
It doesn't take a genius to go through the loading screen poems of Racing Lagoon to discover that Hillsludge and his band of N5s are just making shit up the majority of the time. Pass this shit by your favorite AI and you'll quickly become anti-Hillsludge pilled.

Wow, their mistranslation was lore-accurate? Amazing, I guess this overwrites the fact that the second clause was completely made up.
Want me to point out more mistakes? The mistranslations get even worse from there.
>>
>>12632105
I haven't tried the translation yet so feel free to do so.
>>
>>12632129
Weird, you seemed so confident on it being accurate for someone who hasn't played it.
>>
It's always the smartass retard lashing out lashing at others thinking he is witty and all that shit, while failing to understand formatting and context. Fags like these are the scum of 4chan.
>>
>>12632301
It's 2026, anon. The context excuse doesn't work anymore. Anyone can check your work and see that your translators weren't very experienced.
>>
>>12632160

I've played it in japanese, I might replay the translation to clear up some parts but I know the story beats and characters.
>>
>>12631220
Nevermind i am actually retarded. this is at the top of the readme:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IMPORTANT!!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@:
This patch targets Kowloon's Gate version SLPS-00706
through SLPS-00709. These four discs are the base
release. The "Artdink Best Choice" version or the
"Shokai Genteiban" version ~~~WILL NOT WORK~~~!!!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IMPORTANT!!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
>>
>>12631257
>the world will lose all meaning
Thanks for outing yourself as a retard.
>>
>>12632354
>Artdink Best Choice
Did Artdink have anything to do with creating this game, or did they just publish it at one point?
>>
Is there any way to swap discs on the converted PSX2PSP .iso, or have I totally just fucked myself by playing this version?
>>
>>12632739
If you are playing it on a PSP, you can change discs at the option when you press the Home button.
>>
>>12632585
You don't know Japanese lol
