Finished Akari's route in Noble Masters. Liked it a fair bit better than Hinata's, wished it had been more romantic.
Next is either doing Sena's ropute (her being a delusional trainwreck during Akari's route helped deciding) or reading eden*
Still undecided if I should read Shizuru's route and the secret one, not really interesed in the heroines.

I'm really liking the way Dies Irae is written.

I'm a bit into it now and I can say I'm liking the game a lot, I originally put it low in my backlog due to some negative comments here calling it a bad FSN rip-off but I don't see it.

It's well written, the characters are likable and badass and the plot/setting are completely crazy.
Of course it's chuuni meaning spontaneous power up and convenient stuffs happening but sometime some chuuni feels good.

Compared to a truly bad FSN rip-off like 11eyes that has bad writing and horrible characters, this game feel great.
Of course it took a bit from FSN but all action eroge made after it did, but the overall craziness of Dies Irae make it feel quite unique

Forget to say, in Japanese specialized stores you can buy those older VNs (months after release) for a lot less than the full price of the online sites. Those obviously don't ship internatiotally.
When people buy many vols to get the extras, they usually sell those back to the stores, lowering the price a lot. I remember about Yosuga no Sora costing around $20 on local stores one week after the release date.

Not very far into Sucre.

I really like the palette they chose for this game; it has the same mellow and warm feel to it that Parfait did, whilst being refined to reflect today's presentation standards. Only complaint is the standard 800*600 resolution, which you'd think a company like Giga would have phased out already.

I believe manufacturers have the right to restrict exportation of their products. I think the purpose of this right is to allow the manufacturer more control over the distribution of their product on foreign markets (assuming they eventually intend to do this). In short, it protects distributors in different countries from competing with each other. A distributor in America wouldn't have to worry about setting their price as double the one in China, for example.

Of course, eroge companies just hate foreigners, nothing deeper than that. But they use this right to restrict distribution, forcing shops to deny you if they believe you're going to use the product outside of Japan. I'm guessing it's just this one company who decided to take use of this right, not a change in policy on melonbooks' side.

Only thing I don't get is why eroge companies have so horrible business sense. It's not like they're making tons of money on what they do, so they're hardly in any position to alienate potential customers.

>Only thing I don't get is why eroge companies have so horrible business sense. It's not like they're making tons of money on what they do, so they're hardly in any position to alienate potential customers.

Let's be fair, if you're an eroge company you've probably got horrible business sense by definition.

More seriously, most of these companies exist by selling to a very loyal core group of customers. Why would they reach out to Americans when they have given up on reaching out to anyone but the most hardcore otaku, or people who are already into the series (like Rance) ? Trying to get more Japanese customers is something that a Japanese company can do on their own, without talking to an international distributor, uses resources and methods they already know and are familiar with, and is probably way cheaper to boot.

This is understandable, but the existence of fan translations is proof that an untapped market fanatical enough to translate a product themselves exists in another country (but again, only if the company gives a shit). If you can also acquire those translations for dirt cheap, it suddenly starts making sense to explore. But still, look at all the terrible failures the Demonbane official localization encountered on its way—and those mistakes were not cheap. Lost hype and missed release dates fuck up sales a lot.

Compare to Receatear, which was promoted very well by its translators, who loved what they did and kew what they were talking about.

While on 4chan we would all complain about viral marketing, this would actually be a much better way of doing things, especially for eroge that couldn't be marketed openly in the same way as an indie game.

If it was possible to obtain translated eroge for a reasonable price, people would do it—that's quite clear. But coordinating that internationally and convincing a Japanese partent company is really hard.

I can buy a Japanese version of Windows and use it in America. I'm not sure I understand your point. Games being region locked is not something new or unique to eroge/VNs. There are even all ages VNs that are Japanese only.

The 360 for example, is not region locked, it's the software that is. IE I can play an American copy of Alan Wake on my Japanese 360. However, if I want to purchase and play Steins Gate on my American 360, I can not. It has very little to do with ero content or worrying about western criticism, it's just the way the market does things.

>I can buy a Japanese version of Windows and use it in America. I'm not sure I understand your point.
My point is that the company seems to be against even this sort of thing. They don't want it to go outside of the country at all, no matter the means (i.e., they even block proxy services). They're denying sales of the product that requires no effort on their part. They canceled a sale based solely on the fact that it would then be shipped out of the country.

>it's just the way the market does things.
So you're saying that the market doesn't like sales? We're not asking them to ship internationally. We're not asking for English translations. We're not asking for them to do anything but sell the games the way they always have, and let the proxy services handle the rest.

>> No.7917974

>>7917949
>So you're saying that the market doesn't like sales?
But again that is not something unique to eroge.

And you also have to remember that it is not each individual company stopping you from doing this. I'm pretty sure it must be a policy of the parent company or something. Rewrite for example, is all ages and I still couldn't play it on my PC without a crack. But I don't think that has anything to do with Key, but more to do with Visual Arts and/or the RealLive engine.

And let's be honest here, how many potential sales do you really think they are losing? The game in question maybe, but that's just one company. People still import these region locked VNs/eroge and just use cracks, it's not like the companies in general are really losing any money.

>> No.7918003

>>7917974
>And let's be honest here, how many potential sales do you really think they are losing?
You're missing the point. I'm asking what their motive is for blocking these sales. From the company's perspective, this is no different from any other sale, except that they know this will end up being played by someone in a foreign country. The only reason I can come up with that they would not want this to happen is that they either:

a) Hate foreigners so much the thought of them playing one of their games makes their skin crawl (Unlikely)

b) Are afraid of the backlash if and when some foreign news outlet finds these games and labels them as being immoral or what have you.

The problem is that b) is unavoidable. It's going to be played by people in other countries, no matter what they do, simply due to the connectivity of everything. The fact that you yourself managed to play Rewrite proves this. So why fight it? Why bother? Is it an image issue? I don't know why they feel the need to police where the games end up. Their only responsibility should be to sell within Japan, and any further distribution is not their problem.

>> No.7918071

>>7918003
>The problem is that b) is unavoidable.
Whether it's avoidable or not is irrelevant. Piracy of all games on the PC is unavoidable, yet that doesn't stop companies from putting DRM and anti-piracy measures in their games. It's a business decision. Maybe it's one made by higher ups that aren't too savvy about such things, maybe it's a decision to appease said higher ups that may be worried about backlash.

It's really not a big deal for them and they have no reason to care whether or not you can play/import their games. If it makes the investors or whatever relevant parties happy, then why not? They have nothing to lose.

>> No.7918189

>>7917974
Yeah, I just ordered the game from a different site. Just wanted to avoid doing that because the other one only has COD as a payment option, which means I have to get a shipping agency to buy the game for me as well as ship it.

It's a stupid self righteous hindrance, imo. From an business standpoint it makes no sense, and even in the interest of the store, I can't really credit the refusal of service to anything besides A) Xenophobia B) Irrational fear of being the provider for a controversial game.

>> No.7918250

>>7917974

Sakura's DRM analogy is fairly apt; companies are not always intelligent. Obviously the only thing that they could gain is more money, but with sketchy legality in some countries and no interest in a western market, fears of legal violation are high.

In fact, the reverse has been true in Demonbane; Nitro+ Japan was deathly afraid of reverse importing of the uncensored version. They have "Demonbane INT use only" on them—why the fuck? Because N+ is afraid that reverse importing of it may make them legally culpable for selling an uncensored product in Japan. This is an obscure fear, and maybe unfounded, but companies would rather not take chances.

>>7918003
Region locking is not a perfect analogy for the main reason that it exists precisely because companies often localize their games for other countries. Fears of reverse importing paralyze the anime industry, as their insane overpriced business models are laughed at in America. The fact that regional settings prevent us from playing Japan only games is something that no one but us gives a shit about. Cave, the only Japanese developer to actively court western fans without an American company branch, felt this out by removing region locking on Espgaluda II, but this actually required them to go through additional procedures and possibly fees that anyone else without interest in the western market would skip.

I think the bottom line is that 1) even the smallest risk is not worth the reward 2) eroge companies are mostly ignorant and are acting without bothering to look into the potential of international customers.

Even if it's avoidable, they can avoid responsibility by their current actions.

Maybe you and I have a different view on this, but I don't see how selling to a proxy service qualifies as selling overseas. It's an entirely separate legal entity. They cannot be expected to check to make sure no one sends their product overseas after purchase, that is absurd.

If I were to order it as someone living in Japan and then sent it to my friend in America as a gift, would that be objectionable? What if I bought it, and then realized I really shouldn't have, then sold it off to my friend in America for a fraction of the price? It's drawing lines in the sand, and it's silly. They only ship domestically. That should be enough. Once it's purchased it's the buyer's responsibility.

So I 'played' Mamamamamama for the sake of wanting to get off to a mother/son incest game (if you call hitting ctrl to get to the sex 'played'). You live with a girl and her mother, you call her mother 'Mama'.

A woman shows up who is your biological mother, she wants to reconnect with you after abandoning you as a baby. You call her Kaa-san

You have a hot sexy teacher show up. She's your father's new young bride and wants to get to know you better. You call her Mafuyu-mama

Each ending has you getting one of your 'mothers' pregnant with an extra scene after the credits several years in the future of you having sex with your 'mama' and your daughter ... fuck yes, perversion runs in the family. Each of your daughters begs you to get them pregnant.

So uh, question. If you get your own biological mother pregnant and she has a daughter and your daughter demanding that you make her pregnant too ... what the hell relationship do you have with the kid you have with your daughter by your mother?

She would be ... lets see, your daughter, your niece, your cousin maybe? .... uh, your grandchild, your great niece ... what else?

No worksafe pictures of your daughters unfortunately, they're pretty cute. The mother's tits are all way too big for my tastes.

Honestly most VNs can't do well ONE tsundere character, let alone do a big cast with them.
Though technically Rin is tsundere in LB, I think, she's more of antisocial. Sharin no Kuni has a tsundere you can make main heroine and cross channel doesn't have one trrue main heroine, but the tsundere gets a good focus.

Hm, the character bio on the site even says her death was confirmed at the bottom, so that makes me wonder how she's actually a part of the story.

Just finished off Kusari recently, or at least cleared all of the girls routes that were in the guide I found to help pick them all up, plus one "no-route" that wasn't mentioned which involves Kishida forcing oral-sex on you at one point.
Now I've started Episode of the Clover. Only just started it, but they seem to be awfully nonchalant for people who just got attacked by a giant robot which killed a couple of dozen people and destroyed the building.
Also, really early H-scene with Sayu, it seems I was misinformed when told that Littlewitch's earlier games weren't that lewd. And I suppose this means that I'm off course for the Ema route now (Well, I guess the last couple of choices were an obvious choice between an H-scene or not, I let myself get a little carried away, but I chose this course and I'll stick to it now)
