“As we announced on June 5th, 2013, we have entered a partnership with Language Automation, Inc., (LAI), a company that specializes in game localization. LAI will be offering companies a discount on their localization fee if the companies choose to localize the games the oprainfall community votes on and promotes. There may even be ways that certain individuals within the community could be elected to help with the localization process! . . .
“Today, we bring you the first of hopefully many articles based on this partnership. As you will see below, we have two polls—one for SEGA games, and one for Konami games. These companies were chosen because LAI has worked on localization projects with them in the past. In case you are not familiar with any of the games listed, we have also provided descriptions so you’ll know what they’re about. Be sure to use the comments section to let us know why you voted for the game or games you would like to see localized!”
I voted Valkyrie 3 Sega could have made that a big franchise instead they decided to sabotage themselves. Sabotaging themselves is SEGA's life story at this point.
I voted Yakuza 5. Hopefully everyone who voted shared this via their respective social media pages.
Vote for Yakuza 5. We already have a work in progress translation patch for Valkyria Chronicles 3
CVG: Beyond The Labyrinth is not what we expected. The game's pre-release campaign revolved around its winsome heroine and her wardrobe of customisable skirts - catnip to otaku softies. In reality, it's a take-no-prisoners dungeon crawler.
Vertical difficulty spikes, instant deaths, tortuously positioned save points - the works. Buy it expecting to ogle a digital lass and you'll be sorely disappointed. The game even tells you off for looking up her skirt! Er, so we're told.
UM.... seems like they dont like the game because its difficult and you cant look up the protagonist's skirt.
This is why many people stop at the story description most times, especially when its the ridiculous rantings of CVG
Il wait for more reviews. I love tri-ace to death and i love jrpgs and dungeon crawlers so its right up my alley but i dont want to get burned on this one. They havent made a game i havent liked so far so i still have hope for this one.
Does sound like Etrian Odyssey or the Persona 3 megadungeon without all the fun character interactions and shool to distract you from the fighting.
"A welcome dose of strategic smarts is undermined by lobotomised AI and dry-as-Ryvita delivery."
The 3DS has a really jam-packed next few months in Japan.
Please announce a localization.
I agree this looks great
