There’s more than a few things to be said when I am finding low budget Japanese Eroge Games more interesting than blockbuster titles such as Final Fantasy, but it certainly has been the case.  Recently I’ve been playing a lot of Rance VI ~ The Fall of Zeth and tonight I went to play a couple of hours of Final Fantasy and found to my astonishment that I was having less fun while playing it and feeling a sudden glazing over of the eyes and a desire to be playing Rance.  How does this happen, that I’d rather play an H-RPG game in a different language than a state of the art console RPG in one of my native languages.  It’s a sad reality that I think I want to rationalize, so inside I’m going to be talking about a number of categories including Visuals, Audio, Characterization and Gameplay (Combat mechanics) to try to get to the bottom of this once and for all.  I’m not just going into this cold either as I think I have a pretty good reason what it is I wish I were seeing in Final Fantasy that I am somehow finding in Rance VI.  So without further ado, let’s start the comparing.

Meh….if it airs it airs, if it doesn’t it doesn’t.  If it’s changed it’s changed if it isn’t it isn’t.  Whatever comes we’ll find out then.  Until that point I trust official information over John Q. Spammer on 2ch.  Sunrise isn’t the one creating the drama though, it’s 2ch and commentators on the whole series of events.  As far as I know they haven’t even said boo yet, but then again I bet they take a lot of crap for it anyway because of one disgruntled employee since this is just the kind of thing some people will take to bash the hell out of them.  Sucks to be Sunrise these days, you just can’t catch a break.

That’s pretty much all I have to say about this right now.

As I said I would, here are some of my thoughts on Smash Bros Brawl now that I’ve had some serious experience with the game. Continue reading ‘Smash Bros. Brawl Thoughts’

Before anything, here is a special point we took recently: considering our satisfying and hard working manpower here and there (be it translators, encoders etc), we decided to change slightly the release scheldule:
Instead of letting everyone down until the full patch is done, we decided to change it altogether and mimic the Onikakushi-hen type of release: Chapter by chapter, or batch by batch of chapters each time.
This has been decided like this, as the process is much longer than expected and our wish to polish and serve a translation patch as neat as possible, hence much more retranslation and editing.

that said…

Witch Hunt is proud to announce that the first patch for Umineko no Naku Koro ni is available!

As people might already have bumped on this news before, there was the announcement of a new game on Key site this 1st april.
Obviously, the timing was pretty much fishy, so most people were quite on the defensive stance.

However, Key doesn’t have the reputation for AF, and it is quite bigger when they involve… Ryukishi07 in their cast as a scenarist. Now, it might be completely crazy, but such an AF involving a third party isn’t exactly something usual, especially that Key announced before they had quite a big surprise for their 10th anniversary.
This is pretty much something lingering, leaving people in quite a shrouding doubt.

Well, we can now rejoice that it is confirmed !

Inspired By Skyfall, Here Is My Talk About An Eroge I Am Anticipating

Now who wants to put aside all this talk about infighting and blogging and talk about a more fun subject.  I’ll be the first to take that step and talk about Japanese PC Gaming.  When I think of eroges I like and the ones that make them, two producers come to mind.  One is of course Alicesoft and the other is a company I’m not sure many have heard of called Eushully.  Usually they only make like one game a year and it’s pretty much been awesome every time.  Continue reading ‘Eushully Presents 2008 (A Retrospective)’

If anyone is interested I posted a Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence review on Gamefaqs and thought I might as well post it here too for fun.  Interestingly enough (or not) it’s the lowest score available out of all of them, which frankly doesn’t really surprise me much.

It is finally the time for us to prepare the final phase before the first release: the beta test!
