I want to check out Hatsuyuki Sakura, but I need to hone my Japanese skills first. Because, if I wait for a TL, I'll grow old waiting.

Well, I guess people do realise, but learning a language (and Japanese at that) can be a daunting task, especially if you never have cared to learn one besides your mother tongue (but that, today, can be pretty rare).

I'm the type that laughs at the plebs demanding Spanish translations for everything and anything. If I had done that, I could have never played tonnes of good games.

But then again, I have been learning English since age 6, and then did some Latin in high school. I like learning new words and expressions. Grammar is trickier.

In the case of Hatsuyuki Sakura, and other untranslated VNs, I don't delude myself. It will take years of practise to get a level good enough to understand it fluidly. I have a big Japanese primer in anime though (but, as people always say, due to the nature of the medium, I know far better how women talk).

Me too... though only somewhat recently, since someone whose taste I respect was talking about how good it was, and that intensified when I later noticed that it's ridiculously highly rated on VNDB for being untranslated.

I have heard a lot of people praise it to be one of the best if not the best SOL VN out there

I have a really big list of vns to read, but in the moment i'm in a marathon of long unknown vns, i already playing W.L.O., but i don't know if i will be alive to read all these things.

• Hello, World (A nitro game, with hard sci-fi, genre shift and tagged as utsuge)
• France Shoujo (I read in somewhere that this is one of the most, if not the most long vn that exist, the mystery and the number of ends(48) are intringing me too)
• Steel (This is the one that i know like 0 of the game, but look like a action anime of 2000 and has a single end)
• Izayoi no Fortuna ( A more romance focused to break the pace)
• Shoujo to Sekai to Okashi no Ken (sci-fi metaficition with a loli that can turn candy into a sword, it's separated in 3 games, at first i will be only playing the principal that is already very long)

Do you mean that reading those will drag on forever?

[G3n3raL86]

I was keeping a eye on Higurashi: When They Cry. Now a couple of questions:

1. Steam has 4 chapters. Is this the complete Hou arc?

2. Is the Steam version uncensored or should i get them from the official site?

3. In the official MangaGamer site, there's also Question Arc Hou. When shold i play this?

That is all, just no spoilers plz:)

Haven't played it myself, but yes, it is.  Link to the Hou Steam bundle, which contains all 4 chapters.

There's no censorship.  Both Steam and MangaGamer's versions are identical.

Buy directly from MangaGamer if you want to support them and 07th Expansion.  Buying from Steam will give Valve their cut for putting it on their store, so MG and 07th Expansion will get less money.

If i buy them from MangaGamer, will i get a Steam key or they are seperate?

Va-11 Hall-A - Seems pretty interesting but I haven't bought it yet because of other stuff on my wishlist.

Tokyo Babel- Been interested in this for a while now. I might buy it soon while it's on sale.

Root Double- I might buy this one after Tokyo Babel. Maybe sometime next year.

Steins;gate- Pretty highly-rated. Amazing visuals and interesting story. Been meaning to buy it for some time but I lack funds.

Along the Edge - A pretty unique looking vn that has both French and English translations. I don't speak French, but I'd love to learn it. Plus, it's otome-ish but big on the story.

Subarashiki Hibi was hoping for an English release but after a year with 0 news starting to think it's a dead project and will struggle through it in Japanese.
