are there any other visual novels that look and feel like you're playing an interactive anime like Policenauts? Like small animations in the background and stuff?

Dino Island
I have seen this movie
Yeah, Space Dandy is pretty cool. 🙂
Frick off moron
no, u
Snatcher doesn't but you should definitely play it regardless if you haven't yet
oh I already did
How are the PS1 and Saturn english hacks? More interested in the Saturn one. Any big issues? If there are animated cutscenes with no text at all, I'm worried those won't be translated
I'm playing the PS1 english hack and the animated cutscenes all contain english text. I couldn't get it to run on epsxe by the way, I'm using mednafen.
Use Duckstation
They're perfect. Saturn is better cause there's some censorship on PS1.
Played through the game patched on a real Saturn this summer and had no problems at all. Everything was translated, even the encyclopedia and some unlockable actor interviews.
Alright cool, you think it's worth picking up a light gun? Was also planning on playing on real hardware once I got a pseudosaturn kai or whatever cartridge is best
I played it on my Saturn too. It's great with the lightgun if you have a decent size TV (at least 27"), otherwise it can be a bit too small to use.
There is a few, although they might not be retro and they may contain H scenes.
I strongly recommend Kara no Shoujou.
Kara was pretty good but the ending was kinda whatever. Maybe I got the shit ending i guess.
Metal Slader Glory
There is a new English patch, use that one
Why? What's better about it?
Which one is the new one?
The one that's not by Pennywise. Now,
, what's better about the new one?
Ok thx. I looked into it and it looks like the main difference is a more readable font
That's it? The old patch seems fine, then. The only other change I knew about the newer translation is that you can no longer hold B to make the text scroll faster (like in the Japanese original) and that text automatically is faster (meaning the visuals are now ALWAYS out of sync with the text).
I'd be interested to know if there are any translation differences between these two, as well.
>you can no longer hold B to make the text scroll faster (like in the Japanese original) and that text automatically is faster (meaning the visuals are now ALWAYS out of sync with the text).
That sounds like an odd choice. Maybe he recommended it because the 1st is a bad translation
Or he was simultaneouspy working on his own translation and didn't get around to finishing it before Pennywise/Stardust Crusaders did. Same thing happened with Ganbare Goemon 2 (SNES)'s translation by Avicalindriya (apparently goes by "Avster", now) which was started long before and came out after DDSTranslations' translation, yet it is MUCH worse than DDSTranslations' translation and much less literal/vanilla.
I finished Metal Slader Glory the other day.
The story is exactly what you'd write if you wanted to do an 80s animu OVA parody. Is that good or bad? Who knows, but the visuals alone carry the "game". It's very beautiful and they do very smart and effective animations with very little means, as they have to cram all of it into a 1MB famicom cartridge. In fact by the end of the game they had to ditch the intro as they couldn't fit it in, so they had to put out the intro in manga form in the manual.
I'm not sure if I would recommend it if you actually wanted a good story, but give it try for a couple minutes if you want to check out the little pretty gay visuals.
God Policenauts sucks! It's like a really bad Visual Novel. And I don't know, seriously, VN are like the easiest thing in the world to design. So when you design a bad one, that is remarkable.
Like the entire story of Policenaughts is not only a pixel hunt, but you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times. So if you don't know this, like if you want to know about some photograph, you ask about the photograph, and she tells you something, and then you have to ask the same topic again. So that photograph entry can occur 3 or 4 times. And then you have to start from the beginning and try them all again because the third time might have opened something new up. And you have to exhaust every single option. ALL OF THEM. Before the game will let you move on. That is HORRIBLE.
It's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an adventure game you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times. You're just sitting there, desperately wanting to move on with the plot, and then you're stuck trying to inspect every little thing over and over again, and asking people the same questions over and over again. Ah it's bad. And when it finally gets exciting, it gets exciting for 20 seconds then you're right back at it.
Is the plot interesting? Not really. You know what the story is? It is 5% Blade Runner, 95% Lethal Weapon. It's straight up Riggs and Murtaugh. It's not even subtle. He rips off whole scenes. It's amazing.
ok
I hate the way you write you fricking homosexual.
Why do people suddenly pretend to be VN expert when they want to shit on Kojima's stuff?
>you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times.

Kek this is the formula for every point and click / visual novel game I've ever played. How new are you?
It's a detective game you mongoloid. You have to figure out what to do based on clues not just moronicly click everything because you can't solve the case. Go read a book or something I think you're too dumb to be playing games
What are the best english versions of Snatcher and Policenauts that are without censorship, both games have 100 versions each.
Best version of Snatcher is the Sega CD version. A lot of the other versions censor some of the more gory scenes, but the Sega CD release has all of them intact. The Japanese version of the Sega CD one is the only truly uncensored version though. In the US release there's a shower scene where the main character is placed between the camera and the girl showering so you can't see her nudity, a corpse is covered up where originally her breast had fallen out of her dress, and another corpse that originally was twitching is no longer twitching. These three things are extremely minor though, especially compared to what the other versions censor. It's as close to uncensored as you can get without playing the Japanese version. Plus a lot of the earlier releases of the game completely lack the last third or so of the game, so you won't have to worry about that with the Sega CD version. I can't speak for Policenauts though, I usually hear Saturn is the best but I haven't played it yet
There's no Japanese Sega CD version of Snatcher. The Sega CD version was made specifically for the English localization.
I think he meant the TGCD version, which is what the Sega CD US version is based on.
Yeah, my bad. This is what I meant, was misremembering
Yeah, they're called point and click adventure games, and there are hundreds of them. Kojimadrones make me retch.
Visual novels and point 'n click adventures are two different genres, it has nothing to do with Kojimafans. But you're right, Policenauts is more of a point 'n clicker.
Double Cast got a fan translation pretty recently.
