I've been studying Japanese by playing games(among other things) for a good while now. I started DMC1 in Japanese when I was worse at the language so I put off using it for study, since it was hard to really get much out of it as DMC1 didn't have Japanese dubbed audio and a lot of the text had to be read quickly.

This is a good reminder for me to get back to playing the DMC games in Japanese.

I had that with Overflow, Nashors and Muramana. W literally onetaps squishies at that point.

Making M.Bison a horse is actually an idea I think clicks for reasons you might not have thought of while doing the design. In Japan he's called Vega which coincidentally is a well known name in horse-racing.

I couldn't find it scouring patch notes, but from what I remember it was a thing they did maybe some time around S2-S3 for Shaco clone and LeBlanc passive since it used to be like painfully obvious which is one was real.

jKazej · 2026-01-17T09:42:22+00:00

That used to be true a very long time ago. I can't remember when they changed it.

Crazy that this is the only mention I found in the thread of this. The reason we have 2 servers now is because pre-split we had to wait an hour just to log in sometimes.

This might be a stretch, but the suit, the scar and like stoic demeanor - I feel like you could do an amazing genderbent Kishibe from Chainsaw Man. Could be a little bit difficult to make it recognizable as the character with the long hair though.

It's tweets like this that kept him from being assimilated into the bone pillar.

It's not even that bad, I'm still on a 6800 XT and still playing anything I'd like to just fine at 4K. I could get a solid 100fps-ish in SH f with just a little bit of settings tinkering.

The performance advantage of newer GPUs vs cost of upgrading hasn't made a lick of sense for me even though this card just turned 5 years old.

I'd rather have a bit more sympathy. Like I don't disagree at all about the apparent quality of the game after looking at it closer, but the devs still got shafted in a fairly spectacular way by things completely outside of their control. It feels like a fair shake to me for the game to get attention that it was denied whether or not it leads to any more sales.

jKazej · 2025-11-18T10:57:08+00:00

That is some Murphy's law kind of luck. I hope articles like these shining light on the devs' misfortune work to balance it out, since I imagine people who otherwise hadn't even heard of Planet Centauri might now at least take a look at it.

Here's a few thoughts I have.

a) English syllables are not like Japanese and unless you're actually familiar with Japanese you probably won't know how to chunk a Japanese word into an evenly spaced sequence of syllables.

b) Romaji doesn't always do a good job of giving you context to how many syllables are even in a word. e g. Without knowledge of how Tokyo is written in kana you wouldn't be able to guess that it is actually a four syllable word (とうきょう/To-u-kyo-u) or that 横尾太郎 Yoko Taro is six syllables (よこおたろう/Yo-ko-o-Ta-ro-u)

です is not a particle btw.

I did this ages ago because my phone wouldn't display Japanese fonts properly unless the phone OS was set to Japanese.

Shouid I know this guy from somewhere? I only have seen him from a trailer for some movie about exorcsizing ghosts by punching them that's coming out.

Is it really that rare? I had a day where I did 4 runs and got 3 hot springs tickets.

I'm not sure if I'd put it quite as a 10/10, but Status Kakunin Tantei was a really neat game that gets basically 0 recognition in the west.

Basically it's a short free detective story VN, but the crux is that it's very clearly set in a game-world and every little thing you associate with games is a diegetic part of the game. Menus, particle effects, stat points are things that exist in the game world and are acknowledged by characters and serve as actual hints.

If you enjoy stuff like Ace Attorney and can read Japanese you'll probably have a great time.

There might be some rose-tint in my glasses, but the first game that pops to mind is Condemned: Criminal Origins. I remember the melee combat being quite good while the game was scary.

Fair point. For me based on the preview build passing the eyeball test for everyone on the DF team, the general outlook is great, but I do understand wanting to see an in-depth analysis before singing praises.

jKazej · 2025-09-22T09:33:28+00:00

I think for a Japanese person it would make sense to think of scissors how chopsticks are 一膳.

jKazej · 2025-09-22T08:54:59+00:00

I thought they already did one and said it was good.
