zari-gani posted:I have no qualms about that particular translator and I don't know anything about anyone there. That said, this post by their Kamen Rider translator is appalling and I was disheartened to see no one pointed out the offensive part. The reason for that is that TV-N's forms are an Ego-cracy, ether you toe the party line or you get banned. Take it from experience; you ask anything about Astroboy 2k3 and they will ban you for it. Do they still think they're hot poo poo with the use of after effects for when people transform in thier shows or are they past that load of stupidity?

Cemetry Gator posted:But we're not capturing what is being said in Japanese. It's like, if we referred to "SuMari" as "Super Mario," we might as well change it to a dramatic show about a doctor who operates on patients by playing videogames... and when he doesn't beat the game, the patient dies! We're trying to watch tv here, not homestuck.

My copy of the RGM boxset came in and it's just as awesome as I imagined it being. It's just so wierd seeing everything encoded from a profesional source as opposed to off of a TV and then re-encoded with subs.

If anything, my underpants were in a bunch because Kotaku somehow couldn't afford the rights to stream to Europe. Because somehow a show that can be picked up by Gawker of all places will have a ludicrous additional cost for Europe. Yep. Really, in this day and age, it shouldn't be right that I can watch DVDs from other countries easier than I can watch something on, what is largely in any case, a global platform.

ADV's second release of Nadesico did it too. But I imagine that's a right pain in the arse and probably not worth the extra amount of money the subtitle encoder would be wanting for doing so. As for me, yeah, I really like the disks, Kinda annoyed there's no TV Opening (You'd figure that'd at least be an extra or something) but it's about a million times better than KOTAK ever did for the series.

Silly Voodoo posted:I was wondering the same thing and it seems that the game does have more than one ending and Arino got the bad one. Which is weird, because you'd expect them to make Arino keep playing until he got the good one, and it was pretty clear that was a bad ending of some kind. ...Yeah, I don't get it either. Any word on what that supposed good ending is?

Not that Nintendo don't deserve it. I take a very dim view to any company action that prevents me from legaly buying poo poo.

Xik posted:Nintendo having ridiculous control over their platforms is what made them. I'm sure the people in this thread don't need a history lesson about the state of the gaming industry right before the NES and what the result was of having "open" platforms with no quality control. This is Nintendo, it's been successful for them for ~30 years and I doubt they will change any time soon. In comes the DSi and it all goes to poo poo; we still don't have Devil Survivor Overclocked, never-mind DS 2, I dread to think when (or if) I'll get to play the likes of Shin Megami Tensei 4 or Etrian Odyssey 4 and then there's the frustration of the online shop. Nothing says a good time when someone has a certain game, let's say Secret of Mana, in their store and you can't buy it for love nor money. Nintendo fired the first shot on the Handhelds and it was pointed at their own foot.

Caitlin posted:But, again, like Tewratomeh said, you do understand that while it does suck, you are in a significant minority on this and their decision to keep region locks the way it is will probably not affect their market share on any sort of appreciable level anytime soon, right? That they're not actually "shooting themselves in the foot" about this? Them locking the 3DS has pushed me over to Sony's stuff where this poo poo is limited to Persona 4 Arena, more or less. But I digress, funny japanese man doing let's plays, go.

TinKelp posted:I thought the reason was always "we don't have a branch in Europe and thus have to convince some publisher over there to put out our games." Have they ever said they deliberately chose not to make a Euro release for any of their games? Really sorry to drag this on but let's put this in context. I gave DiscoTeck my money, I got legal GameCenter CX. I was willing to give KOTAK my advertising eyes and they gave me nothing. I think we all know which one came out on top.

Really, in terms of Hard vs Soft subs; Hard Subs (The sort Team SA are want to produce) already have everything rendered ready to play and can play on relatively low end hardware (and even non-computers if you're feeling particularly frisky) and Soft-subs (Which clover and all other fansubers use) are basically a set of subtitle instructions (and fonts, pictures, etc) baked into a file with the raw to render on the user end are are for Mid-High end systems (with very low to non existent non PC support available). Whilst Hard Subs are fine, they have a bad rap chiefly though them being the type of choice of TV Nihon who are want to use them to add lovely adobe after effect text and to hard-lock their nonsensical transliterations to the files.
