I'm not sure if Sakura Spirit's representative of the average VN (most stories take place in a Japanese high-school environment, not this kitsune harem stuff), but Sekai's not doing a good job of making the genre look good.
As someone who gets paid to grade various papers by numerous college students, the grammar in the game really irritates and I know that's not the main draw of the game, but it's a visual novel, at least use proper English in your game

Yes, and from a cursory glance you're looking at 7.5/8. There are NA and EU-specific subs, though, so I assume that this affects which servers you'll connect to -- in which case, if you're in PAL Land the point is moot, but if you're in America (as in the continent) you may want to consider instead coughing up the premium for an ideal experience.

I'm like 99% certain it doesn't actually matter which sub you get because the servers you connect to are tied to your SE account (if i recall correctly when i registered it was something like that).

lol nope. I got to the first bonfire, but after hearing about the sunlight maggot I decided to take a little detour to get myself some much needed help. The skull lantern was just not doing it for me. Had to keep switching between either the lamp or a shield, and those enemies in there really need a shield to help fight. I even tired using the light to find my way and switch to shield when fighting, but with the lights out and how the area is designed, that just spells falling death all over the place. Already in Lost Izalith so I should hopefully be getting what I need and heading back soon.

oh, I see. Did you unlock the shortcut to Lost Izalith or are you taking the normal route? If it's the latter... Prepare to Cry when getting the Sunlight Maggot ;_;

oh and Lost Izalith is such a cool place architecture-wise but it's really fucking meh from a level design point. You can feel they rushed the endgame.

I personally have two rules for this giveaway (and you must obey them if you enter):

1) I don't care if you're embarrassed by the game or don't want it, you enter the giveaway, so you have to keep it (that means no giving it away)!
2) Post a screenshot of the gift message whenever you open the gift, so everyone knows what game you got!

EDIT: The only reason I put the first rule is because I have given stuff away before and have seen people selling it on the B/S/T Thread (and when people do that, it honestly pisses me off)

I'll admit this idea is more popular than I originally anticipated. I'll probably move this to it's own thread for next week.

Guyz Bridge Constuctor is really fun, it's rewarding and make me feel so proud to build a barely decent bridge and watch the trucks cross it. :')

That's unheard of. Top tier asshat behavior. Almost name and shame worthy

Why not, I'll give it a shot. Although, I probably won't be home when the giveaway ends, so if I win I'll definitely post the screenshot as soon as I can.

What the fuck. This is shameless.
Did you tell stumpa? Those people need to be blacklisted.

It wasn't from a Modbot giveaway though. I gave away some PSP games a few months ago and the user knew what he/she was getting and a week later, I saw them selling one of the games and they told me "they didn't know they were getting that game whenever they did the giveaway"

I know it's your "property" whenever you receive the games, but the whole experience kinda soured me giving away stuff and that's why I haven't done it that often lately

YsGAF, in what order should I play the Ys games that are on Steam? I don't have any experience with the series. 1, 2, Felghana, Origin?

What I am being asked for:
Nothing

What I am being given:
1x Item for appID 753 (Steam) context 3 (Coupon). Asset ID: 168073335757975932
1x Item for appID 753 (Steam) context 3 (Coupon). Asset ID: 168073880610713160

1x Item for appID 753 (Steam) context 3 (Coupon). Asset ID: 1642992595895816430

So now I just need to figure out how I do a lookup on an AssetID to get a description. I can't do a fixed database, because the last two coupons are the same coupon but have different AssetIDs, so they're clearly 100% unique to a given instance.

1 and 2 are ridiculously old school ARPGs and feature "bump" combat which takes some getting used to. They're kind of separate for Oath and Felghana in that respect... so if you decide to go with 1 or 2, start with 1, since doing it after playing 2 will be difficult since it's a more basic game and 2 improves on it in many ways.

Did valve give you access to change all keys to bad rats keys?

Based on your edit, that's a blacklisting.
Report those jerks to Stump. :p

I really don't understand why GB quick looks are even popular.
What you can get out of a GB quick look you can get out of looking up random footage on YT.
Hell, you could get it without commentary back when I posted some webms of the early game.

I guess I'll just never understand the appeal of GB.
