Instead, Vic chose to gently caress up by packing together two extremely text-heavy games that cost an arm to translate and loading them up with goodies. I like the guy but I can't vouch for his business sense. Wasn't Vic Ireland the guy who spent large amounts of time in the 90s being an egotistical prick on newsgroups and starting flamewars over his games? This is all second-hand but I distinctly remember hearing stories of a "proto-Derek Smart" who was from a company that was involved in translating console games from around that time. I vaguely recall it being Vic Ireland but I honestly can't remember.

Not really on Derek Smart's level though since Working Designs games were actually released in a playable state and some of them were even good!

It was. He did a lot of that poo poo regarding Gaijinworks too. Thankfully, he basically shot himself in the foot there by basically turning his business into The Class Of Heroes Company.

I'd like XSeed more if they had more than 1 programmer or whatever. I'm always happy buying games done by XSeed though. In other news, I am pretty excited to play Darkest Dungeon on PC tomorrow, I hope it does not suck.

Lunar SSSC also had Kyle say something like "If this thing were any uglier, it'd be my butt" and make a masturbation joke at some point. The SCD version of Lunar 2 also the cleric make a masturbation joke (haven't played the PSX version yet) And in the SCD version of Lunar 1, when you get to the garden in the final level one of the NPCs asks if you've ever heard Ghaleon try to sing an ABBA song. While it's coming from an NPC, it's still referencing the game's main baddy, so... That said, I've seen worse:

You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if the Goon opinion of Working Designs soured in large part due to its influence on all of these terrible indie RPGs.

Isn't that game supposed to be tedious as all gently caress and generally really awful? Seemed cool way before it came out but between all the delays and reports of it being trash I never kept up on it.

Million Ghosts posted:Isn't that game supposed to be tedious as all gently caress and generally really awful? Seemed cool way before it came out but between all the delays and reports of it being trash I never kept up on it. Basically, yes. The Genesis original had two enemy formations a dungeon and an enemy pool that ran out halfway through the game, battles depended less on breaking the game mechanics and more on you having all your characters equipped with the item that resists the enemies' attack element, the story takes forever to get going and when it finally does it turns out to be a mashup of plot points taken from other 16-bit RPGs stitched together with cliche, and the ending is a great big "gently caress you" to the player. In short, Pier Solar doesn't want you to play it; it wants you to sit down and watch it jack off. (And yes, I realize I was complaining about Lunar having masturbation jokes, then I went and made one myself. I never said I wasn't a hypocrite.)

I finally beat Trails in the Sky. Loved it, but that final dungeon is such a terrible slog. I started a new game+ but not being able to skip scenes is just eh. I know the second chapter isn't translated but does getting 100% affect anything worthwhile for it, or just small things most people won't notice? Like to know before I go and put another 40 hours into this game.

I wonder who's going to develop it, given that Career Soft's people are now working for Atlus (specifically, they developed SMT: Devil Survivor 1 and 2). Also there's no way it's getting localized so I guess I'd need to buy a Japanese 3DS to play it... eeeh

Nintendo just came up with a demand to receive 30% of the ad revenue of any youtube video that uses their games, so I imagine its business department is some kind of horrifying, deformed monstrosity at this point.

Sakurazuka posted:No thanks to Nintendo being loving idiots and going in the exact opposite of everyone else again. It's partly because each Nintendo branch is largely independent rather than being just an interchangeable arm of the whole like Sony or Ubisoft (See; stuff like Nintendo of Europe going "gently caress you Dad, we're localizing Xenoblade"). Basically importing a game, for them, is the same as losing a sale from the local branch. Yes, it's stupid.

I started a new game+ but not being able to skip scenes is just eh. nothing big. you get some fairly small trinkets at the start depending on your bracer rank, and some dialogue will change depending on what sidequests you've done probably not worth another full playthrough just for it's own sake, especially when you can just use someone else's 100% save

Trails in the Sky - is the PC port good? Is the translation different from the PSP version? I'm in the mood to play an old school JRPG.

Yes, and yes but not significantly (they fixed up some scenes that were unclear in the PSP version). Also if we want to be technical the PC version is the original and the PSP one is the port but whatever.
