The bollocks is a WaB?

...And what hate are you on about?

"What a Beautiful ..." or WaB is another common name for the Steampunk series, of which Gahkthun is the... sixth release, I think? I'm not sure how fitting that moniker is anymore, given that Gahkthun's subtitle includes "What a Shining ..." rather than "What a Beautiful ...", though. https://vndb.org/v/all?sq=what+a+beautiful

And, well, he did say he didn't read your post, so you can't entirely blame him for being completely wrong about the content...

Who in their sane mind would read a wall of text of hate for a WaB

To be honest, I thought his wall of text of hate, was unbiased and detailed review of the whole thing. The game was great imo but not perfect. It is also an acquired taste, and filthy casuals can't appreciate it if this is their first time reading a steampunk work or they have only read a handful of VNs. 

But truth be told, I love this VN just because its h-scenes are very unique to be told from the female perspective and they don't ever mention "pussy", "dick", "cum" like 100 fucking times.

Another new reason to play Gahkthun ! In Sekien no Inganock, it's the same. I must admit It's refreshing and I liked it

[Arcadeotic]

Indeed, the H-scenes were the best I've seen in a VN thus far

This was my first title in the Steampunk series, and I throughly loved it. Enough for it to be my VN of 2015

Well, Inganock's next, but Gahkthun was refreshing, and my first "chuunige" in the truest sense

The best part is how I barely hated on anything.

Chapter 4.

So Erik Satie is a bad guy (but not the only "culprit" of this chapter, I know)

Hidden Content

 

Yeah, it kind of surprised me too

[Fred the Barber]

Some of the historical figures are pretty great. My favorite is the one in chapter 9 (I think?), though:

Rodin

Incidentally, chapter 9 was my least favorite chapter in the game.

For the moment, my least favorite is the chapter 6.

Finished chapter 7.

This "goodbye sex" between Louis-Charles and Emilie was so hot (and well written). Another success for Sakurai (and a lot of thanks for koestl)

Yeah the 6th chapter was kinda "Eh?" for  me too, but I liked the tension and mystery about it, even if the perpetrator was kind of lame in the end.

The fight in Chapter 7 is one of my favorites without a doubt

Apparently the 'shocking radiant' news from Mangagamer tweet was indeed about Gahkthun, and it will coming to Steam. Here's the latest blog post from Mangagamer as the proof. My comment? Compared to Yurirei, I think sex scene in Gahktun was more explicit, so it's very possible this time Mangagamer will censor that. But at least we already got 18+ version, so no problem I think. And by the way if some of user here for some reason want to purchase Steam version, here's the link to the Steam store.

The H-scenes in Gahkthun are so horribly drawn that most people probably won't be able to recognize them as H-scenes anyway...

Seeing as most people in the VN community interested in Gahkthun have already got it, I fail to see why everyone should be excited about this news. It’s a good chance for Gahkthun to widen its appeal and sell more, which should excite MG, but as a fan I feel decidedly underwhelmed by this ‘shocking and radiant’ piece of information.

I don't think they really intended people to think this was some high-profile announcement, despite the Twitter teases. Who reads Twitter anyway? Real announcements will come with more fanfare, at conventions if possible.

Because tentacle rape on Steam maybe.

Well I'm interested as I never did play gahkthun, and it looks like a fun visual novel I would like to play.

I am actually surprised an uncut version with sexual content is allowed on Steam. Is this going to be a future trend with more adult games being allowed on Steam?

The game wasn't heavily explicit to begin with, and was roughly on par with Kindred Spirits.

That may be true, but that is already a big step into the adult games territory on Steam.

I'm excited because a good steam performance may be the only way we see more Steampunk games get translated.

Unfortunately, it's too pricey and not well known enough to do well on Steam, imo. Would love to be proven wrong, though.

EDIT: Keeping in mind that 'doing well' is relative (I suppose,) and that MG may be happy with relatively low sale figures. Who knows *shrugs*

As others have stated, the significance of the announcement is that the game may now achieve commercial success, and that the Steam version will be completely uncensored.  After looking at the Getchu image samples, I'm actually pretty shocked.  Not to mention the game was rated M by the ESRB.
