in my timeframe

I have to assume he was being sarcastic.

I hope.

Literally point me to a localizer you think is worth giving money to.

Oxymoron. No localizer is worth anything, not even the bullet it takes to remove that trash from existence.

Translate, don't localize. I will not only die on this hill, I will dig a fucking trench line and set up mortars and machine guns atop it.

Fromsoftware, dummy.

Yes, they localise their games themselves. Ever since Demon's Souls, they've been getting better and better at it.

SEGA's work on the Yakuza meta-series also deserves a mention. In fact, for a while, with the exception of Binary Domain, the games lacked English voice acting, creating a Metro/STALKER-esque immersion that helped put you into the dark, dramatic, yet playful universe.

Unfortunately, in these dangerous times, it's either the devil you know (official translations) or the devil you don't (fan translations). I'm fully aware of Atlus USA's idiocy, but I should consider myself lucky as the only games I'm planning to buy from them are the remaster of Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne and Tesla Effect (the most recent Tex Murphy adventure). I apologise If I was a moron. I'm just a firm believer that it's either the devil you know or the devil you don't.
