Jawmuncher, since we were talking about this earlier, I just wanted to show you that Visual Novel Reader, doesn't actually do that bad of a job:

While this is definitely not perfect English, it's still much better than you would get out of Google translate. It uses different machine translation software to translate VNs. I currently have it set to use ATLAS and Bing translate (surprisingly it's often pretty good). You can click on the Japanese characters, and there will be a little pop-up showing what that character means. In the screen the top text is obviously Japanese, the next line is from ATLAS, and the last line is from Bing.

The nice thing about Visual Novel Reader is that if you make an account you can contribute community translations, and if someone was nice enough to translate that line you will see it (it's not always in Japanese though--I saw some Spanish translations too, but Spanish to English translations generally are better than Japanese to English, so when I put them into Google Translate, the sentences actually translate fairly well).

I don't want to spam the thread with this information, so in case you want more info there's a guide on the Visual Novel subreddit.

Edit: Sorry if the image is too large. I'm going to resize the image.

Well this sucks, looks like no steam summer badge for me. Have tried everything to long in to no avail.

That is pretty cool to actually see. Didn't think it would be so in depth of a program.

Oh, sweet, Cradle (the first game I ever voted for on Greenlight) finally has a release date: July 25th!

You might want to requote me. I changed the image link and it shows an error in your quote.

Also, I added it as a non-Steam game and the Steam overlay seems to work as well.

 

[ExoSoul]

If you play Tera and live in the EU or Russia you may not be able to do so after the 11th.

 

[Boss Doggie]

what's Battle Realms

its multiple realms of conflict

Spoiler

I have no idea what it is but hey free game with good reviews

one of the best damn RTSes I have ever played, pretty unique too

rather than spawn units you have to train your peasant (worker) unit to a training building, and you can even train said trained unit to other buildings to produce a new one! you only have rice and water for supply and while they are infinite you need to water the rice fields keep them coming out!

also male peasants come in to the "female" training buildings which spawn a female unit, apparently peasants "replace" the female unit in the building but jokes made about stuff

Let me log in, but kicks me right out. I can see I have a item in my inventory but when I click the notification it say 0 inventory and I'm
Logged out. So lame.

Which Tera? EnMasse or Gameforge?
EnMasse blocking more IPs? Damn.

 

[Vazra]

Which Tera? EnMasse or Gameforge?
EnMasse blocking more IPs? Damn.

Here.

Starting Thursday, June 11, 2015, TERA will no longer be available on Steam for download from certain countries in Europe and Russia. Our decision to enforce this region restriction was influenced by external pressure from the publishers of TERA in these regions.

This means that after June 11, 2015, European and Russian players will no longer be able to access the TERA game page on Steam, add TERA to their game library on Steam, or download the game client through Steam.

All players who downloaded TERA through Steam and added TERA to their game library before Thursday, June 11, 2015 will continue to be able to access and play the game with their En Masse and Steam account.

Uninstalling the game however may prevent you from re-adding TERA to your Steam game library in the future.

Have you tried the Steam app?

 

[texhnolyze]

Here.

I see.
It's kinda weird as they should've blocked European countries from the start as they already have their own server.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Have you tried the Steam app?

I have but it lacks functionality. You can't craft badges there.

Wait... Can I hook ATLAS to some Japanese text off a word document or website too? That would be awesome.

Sacred 3 is known for shit performance but Momodora sounds really weird. No clue about Spoiler Alert.

It's just the latest in the long line of "this game should run like butter cause I could run it at 60fps on an integrated graphics card but it runs like garbage on my GTX 770".

That's a shame, it runs at a smooth 60fps for me.
Have you tried unplugging your controller and playing with the keyboard? (If you have been using a controller in the first place). Some people seem to have problems because of the controller.

nobody reads my game impressions ;p

Could also be because of manufacturing issues of your GPU.

I don't think any of the devs are japanese.
The first two games are freeware. I tried the first one and it was rough. But it ran fine.

It's that controller with more buttons.

when you refund a gift - only the gifter/giver gets the refund right?
or am I misunderstanding things

Yes, since the sender is who paid for it.
