Someone really needs to make a tutorial, because it's nearly impossible to figure out how this works on your own. I can probably walk you through, but I don't really have time at the moment.

These are good, but are either missing information or have factually incorrect stuff. In the Ryojouhen video alone I've already noticed some missing stuff that really should be there, and some stuff that's technically incorrect. For example, BOTH doors need to be operated on ALL stops for ALL lines EXCEPT Enoshima. (On the Enoshima line, operating both doors instead of the intended one will actually result in a penalty.)

I don't really want to start rifling through people's DDG videos critiquing them, as I can think of better things to do with my time and it makes me look like a dick. That said, I feel like I should offer up some properly translated scans of my DDG manuals and make a YT video or two at least covering ALL the basics.

I think you've mentioned that issue with the doors on ryojohen before and I tested it and saw no difference. What else do you think I missed on any of the videos?

There's a reason for this. The patch creator is some kind of moralfag loser who released a patch compatible with only the undumped rom he alone has. He even uses the phrase "presumably self-dumped rom" in the readme, just so you know he went out of his way to fuck you. The release thread here was nothing but anons hunting down every copy of the rom online to no joy plus a couple fans of the series claiming the patch authors stole their work, it was a total fucking mess.

No idea if the needed rom ever found its way online, certainly hope so.

Some of it is, but other stuff that's absolutely essential to know tends to be only explained in the manuals.

>>4815441
>I think you've mentioned that issue with the doors
I've never even heard of you, or your videos, until this thread.
>What else do you think I missed on any of the videos?
Don't know. As I said, I'm not going to bother watching them to find out. I watched the first few minutes of your Ryo video.
>I tested it and saw no difference.
You're not going to see the difference until the end of a successful run and notice that your star rating in "Adherence to Duty(Rules)" is in the shitter because you weren't operating both doors like you were supposed to. (All of this is clearly detailed in the manual, by the way.) Additionally, you'll probably get a "tip" message at the bottom of the screen telling you to operate both doors if this was your biggest screw-up of the run. Of course, if you don't speak Japanese then it doesn't matter what the game tries to tell you. This is the long-standing problem with non-Japanese speakers trying to play these games as intended.

Also, again, bear in mind that operating both doors is NOT correct on the Enoshima line. It's the only exception in the game, although it'll let you know immediately with a penalty if you screw it up. It won't wait to dock your end-of-run rating like the other lines.
>If you have any information I'm missing then feel free to add or make a video of your own.

I don't "think" I know what you missed. I know it for a fact, and took some time out of my day to explain it for everyone's benefit.

If you don't care how you sound, then it was completely unnecessary for you to assure you weren't "trying to sound like a dick" when your content speaks for itself. This board has enough hostility as it is, and for a board that doesn't exactly get a lot of traffic, and for a game series that gets an even smaller amount of that traffic, the last thing we need is an environment that discourages people from opining.

[Anonymous No.4817271]

>>4817256
>then it was completely unnecessary
No, it was necessary, if for no other reason than the vague hope that someone would actually take heed of it and assume good faith regardless of my perceived "attitude". You can see how well that worked out. About as good as I expected it to, frankly. And about as good as the last thousand times I offered a correction to someone on 4chan.

>the last thing we need is an environment that discourages people from opining.
Maybe. I don't know. What I do know is that I want to make sure the correct information is out there, having seen how some previous DDG threads have gone. Just as importantly, if I say something that's incorrect/incomplete I want it mentioned.

What I'm concerned about are people who might be conflating the amount of time they've spent playing these games with actual game knowledge, and being unwilling to accept criticism or corrections on what they say. This is doubly concerning when it's rather obvious that the people opining aren't in possession of any of the printed material for these games, and lack the linguistic skills for it to matter in the first place. I daresay we've had just about enough "opining" on these games at this point, and I'm rather frustrated that I most likely lack the software/skills required to make some videos capable of sharing what I know.

>I've never even heard of you, or your videos, until this thread.
Someone commented on the Ryojohen video about the same thing you mentioned. I assumed it was you, my bad.
>Again, I'm not trying to be a dick. Seems you still took it that way, though.
Not really. What I meant by that was "You should make a video to add the missing information because every bit of information is helpful". You mentioned you thought about making one or two videos, I think they'd be of great help to anyone wanting to play the game.
>I don't "think" I know what you missed. I know it for a fact, and took some time out of my day to explain it for everyone's benefit.
Well, you said it yourself you watched the first minutes of the Ryojohen video. How do you even know what I missed or not?

I'm clearly not doing this for the views because only an idiot would think any DDG videos would make that happen.
What I want is to add as much information as possible in those videos so people who want to give it a try at least has some place to start.
I can't edit the already existing videos, but I can always make newer ones or add comments to the ones already there. Which is why I asked what else I had missed.

No, it wasn't me. No worries. But if that's the case, then you now have two people telling you information that conflicts with your own.

>You mentioned you thought about making one or two videos, I think they'd be of great help to anyone wanting to play the game.
I appreciate the sentiment, but like I said earlier I'm not really sure I have the setup or skills required to make those videos. I keep telling myself that I'm going to try, and then get disheartened about it before I actually try. I need to work on that.

>What I want is to add as much information as possible in those videos so people who want to give it a try at least has some place to start.
An admirable goal. One you should continue pursuing, regardless of what anyone says. Just be prepared to take critique and input. On that note, I'll try to make the time to watch the videos you posted in their entirety. If I can offer up anything to improve them I will do so, rest assured.

Exactly. Which means I need to test it again and add some extra commentary somewhere on that video.
Doesn't matter who's right, what matters is giving out the correct information. I have no problems admitting when I'm wrong.
>I'll try to make the time to watch the videos you posted in their entirety. If I can offer up anything to improve them I will do so, rest assured.
Like I said, I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong. I never claim to be an expert on any of those games, I looked for tutorials when I decided to play them and found almost nothing. I'm just sharing what I know so far.
