>I heard from Hayashi D3P that he would like to sell more overseas than in Japan. However, based on these numbers, about half of the 13,000 copies are sold in Japan. At that point, it can be seen that the product has not reached overseas , so it seems that some kind of error or concept error has occurred.
This publisher used to put out fun ecchi games that sold over 100k. But now even niche JP devs want to pull an FFXVI and abandon their region in the hopes of getting big Western bux. How many niche JP developers can we expect to go bankrupt chasing this nonexistent golden goose?
Same publisher, much more successful game even though it's not targeting a mainstream Western audience at all.
Bough that shit off Playasia for like $100 and put countless hours into it. Would have got the plat for it too if not for how tedious the drop rate rng was. Shame what the world has come to.
>Phantasia sold 100k
Never would've figured.
>POV femdom slaps
this game awakened things in me
On the subject of this game, I remember playing the PS ver and using the touch pad to flip skirt touch panties etc and the girls react.
When it came out on Steam I never figured out how to actually do that, anyone know how? Just clicking wasnt working either, was that removed or did I just not figure out the key for it?
Unironic non-porn coom game.
>only Bullet Girls I played was genuine trash
lol I just bought this game last week for like $4 from the Hong Kong PSN. It's total trash, like most fanservice games. Didn't know it was gonna be an isekai, but I should've known better. One blurry level split into bite-sized chunks and reused across 30 missions. Ridiculous bullet sponge enemies on the harder difficulties. Melee weapons are somehow the best weapons in a game called BULLET girls. Valkyrie Drive is still the best game in the genre, guns be damned.
I always see people saying that one is bad i have yet to play but good lord i love 2
Valkyrie Drive needs more love that's for sure
>no switch
There's the real issue.
>zombie game
>EA (beta)
>roguelike
*sleeps*
The screenshots didn't look like a roguelike at all but you made me check. And it's tagged an "action roguelike". Which is an oxymoron.
It's not a roguelike.
Killing big ones as well
Why are they crying? They didn't sell anywhere. I also haven't seen this game anywhere. Not here, nor on Steam's deals popup, nor on Youtube. Frick off.
>Why are they crying? They didn't sell anywhere.
That's why they're upset. Are you autistic?
Ecchi games have moved to mobile. Other games can't compete against free titles with tons of fanart and large fan bases. No one will buy ecchi games like they used to even if they're on Switch. It's a dying genre like RTS and MMOs outside of mobile.
They easily could but just chose not to. Can you name a single Switch game that has lewd art on the scale as gacha? So many have pretty good looking live 2d and even good 3d models, I can't think of a single Switch game that's anywhere near as suggestive as some gachas.
And what's funny is its not even the same companies. Like its not all the companies that used to make lewd premium console games that switched to gacha, its entirely different ones. And the older ones just can't keep up, in fact some try to make gacha's and fail even harder.
games by Qureate.
they pumping out tons of ecchi games
>Love on Leave
>Sentimental Deathloop
>Livestream 2
I personally prefer console ecchi games because they have 3d graphics and model viewers. Plus all the characters are already unlocked
Maybe it has moved to mobile in Japan though. But there is probably still an audience for console ecchi games
They just also need to be decent games
I don't even know what that game is, first time I'm seeing it, does it have coomkino?
There's no point in pandering to the west. Despite what xitter tells you, people play japanese games because these games are blatantly japanese, this applies to even xitter people
What the frick is this trailer.
shovelware but literally
not even PS2 games looked this bad
>he thought PS2 games looked good
>streamer reactions in your fricking announcement trailer
Always a red flag
Holy shit HAHAHAHA
Now this is what I call "shitty kino"
It's a term I coined myself to describe something that's so shitty that it loops back around to being kino
That's cringekino, or "so bad it's good" as grandpas used to say
half of this trailer is trash ragdoll physics and the other half is a Black personman streamer screaming, looks like pure crap
Saw this and was all prepped to ignore it into oblivion, but the trailer on the steam page with Perry got me in stitches, why the frick didn't they lead with that!?
That's the one I saw on Xbox and loved it. Now I'll never forget about this game even if I don't buy it. It did it's job well.
I certainly wasn't expecting streamers screaching, the way it started i thought it was going to be a "Be very scared!" white title cards, some gameplay with metal music in the background, you know, generic, not... that
With this stellar marketing, no wonder it flopped. Game looks fun though.
Zombie games main audience is underage.
>Sony-san, we put a brack man in our trairer rike you lequested... rhy our game no sell werr in the rest?
lol get fricked
>cringy streamers saying moronic shit
>YOOOOOO
It deserved to flop for that trailer alone.
>we want to the kusoge audience
>streamer reaction
>Black person
>random ragdoll moments
This is what they thought burgers like and want. That is fricking hilarious.
>zombie genre when it died 8 years ago
>blatant onions-reaction marketing
>early-PS3 graphics and shitty AI
no wonder why kusoge like this won't sell
Holy frick. This is the worst trailer I've ever seen.
Yep, as I suspected they have only themselves to blame.
no wonder the game flopped
>0:34
Are they showing a glitch in their fricking trailer?
zoomers love glitchy unfinished games
I wonder who told them to design their trailer like that
This is, no hyperbole, the worst trailer I have ever seen in my life.
video games?
I remember the first time I came across with a trailer with... streamers on it. Pure nightmare material
>onions tier marketing killing nipponese vidya
Wew
>what if we copied the most common ads on YouTube
>what do you mean they're scams and anyone with sense avoids anything related to them?
I'm probably the only person on Ganker who plays this game; they literally didn't promote it and I only found about it by pure accident.
I think it's pretty good; I don't play roguelikes but I liked this one a lot.
the game doesn't look that bad, the trailer is horrible.
Didn't even know it was out because it's burried under 1000000 indie shovelware
I have this on my wishlist. Waiting for a sale
>but muh poor sales
Be happy I'm not pirating it.
I bought it I like their games
Also I don't understand why the journo claims that the game is aimed at the west. It's a Japanese roguelike, pretty much a 3D copy of Shiren the Wanderer.
It's as niche and nip as it gets.
By "pander to the west" they mean removing the big fricking jiggly anime tiddies.
They didn't remove shit because there were no big breasts anime girls in the first place; it has the same kind of serious but still very fantastic atmosphere as the first Nioh.
Which is exactly the point anon. They would have made the game with big anime tiddies if not for pandering to the west because that's what they were known for.
But then the game would be bad because games with big anime tidies are always shit from a gameplay standpoint.
ED-0 isn't going to earn any GOTY awards any time soon, but it was an actually competent game unlike almost every anime breasts game I've played.
>but it was an actually competent game
lol
fricking moron
And you're a minority moron.
look at how well their past game sold compared to this one. Their audience was people who wanted fanservice and they didn't deliver so nobody bought it. Happens literally every time.
why pay money for a lewd game instead of playing a free gacha that gets tons of lewds every day?
Find me a game with actual real gameplay that has good fanservice. No Nikke doesn't count as real gameplay.
there's tons of turn based rpgs and rhythm games but if you want an action game then honkai impact 3 was lewd when I played it and let you grope characters like im@s. snowbreak has pretty good gameplay, genshin was fine at launch and mona had a nice butt. mobile now runs games better than the switch and genshin showed there's a demand for higher quite mobile games. but if you like loot grinding and account progression then gachas kinda have you covered.
>look how well their past game sold compared to this one
Because coomers have no standards.
But you're right, people who want good games are a minority. That's why gacha has reached the point where it outprofited even the biggest AAAAAA titles.
That ecchi game also has better gameplay though. Fanservice doesn't default remove the gameplay quality moron
>Fanservice doesn't default remove the gameplay quality
It literally does.
Only if you're a homosexual
the game in question clearly has gay fanservice. there is a huge buff guy in rope underwear ffs
I didn't even know these dudes made fanservice games. This game popped into my recommended list one day as I like roguelikes and wishlisted it, simple as.
>games with big anime tidies are always shit from a gameplay standpoint.
False
I liked dragons crown, ninja gaiden, and I also like fighting games. Code vein was also decent
Those gacha games aren't really games and it can cost the same amount as a new game to get the content you want.
Gacha games tend to have worse gameplay than Senran Kagura. They are also not 3d.
Plus in a normal game I know that I will get all the characters in the game automatically.
>sumo wrestler with fundoshi
>buff dudes with exposed chest
>ANIme breasts wOUlD makE iT SHiiiiTEEE
A small company prioritizing a playstation release is pretty much a death knell for them.
>but it came out out on Steam and Xbox tho!
You really think Japanese people are buying these kinds of games on Steam or Xbox?
Such stupid logic. If a game is good, fanservice shouldn't bring it down, unless your one of those homos who covers his eyes every time a sexy woman is on the screen.
I don't follow? This game literary has a jiggly breasts anime ninja that can izuna drop zombies, the frick you guys are talking about?
She was added much later.
Haven't played as her yet because I haven't cleared all the maps and I want to do it with the samurai, then with the sumo dude first.
But nioh has big breasts
have you fricking played it moronic goyweeb
>salted rice ball
are these actually good? I've had onigiri once and it was ok, figure that would be pretty much the same. Does it have shit inside of it like onigiri does, or is it literally just salted rice?
Its just rice with salt and sometimes a bit of dashi.
Its fine, nothing fancy
The producer literally said he thought this would sell better in the West (which didn't even happen). It's designed for the West.
He probably thought it would sell good because it has zombies and Japan is like 10 years behind on what Western fads are.
>Also I don't understand why the journo claims that the game is aimed at the west.
Because the developer said the game was aimed at the west, you illiterate c**t.
Japan themself has abandoned actual games in favor of mobile gachaslop shit.
Only gonna get worse from here with Apple trying to get actual games on iPhone 15. The Japanese are the biggest applecucks on the planet.
That'll die faster than Stadia. Mobile gamers are complaining that RE4 on Iphone is $60. Remember when it was the end of the world for them when Mario Run wanted $10 to unlock the full game?
Console game prices don't mix with mobile gamers.
Depends on if they buy up exclusivity for key games. They want you to treat it like the Switch where you get a Bluetooth controller and hook it into your TV and use joycons on the go. They'll probably have some stupidly expensive dock for it at some point. They could go through GamePass model too through Apple arcade, if Xbox is still around then Apple can last as long as they want to last and it potentially steals PC users and phone users away from Microsoft and Google if they get important exclusives locked to iOS.
Why? Consumer game is the strength of Japan while gacha is their weak point.
Because Kishida banned bikini from Jap console game since July 2022, and Gacha is free from Kishida's censorship for being irrelevant?
Post gameplay of it, maybe it’s just shit
Never even heard of this game, not even threads to shit on it, and I think that's the real problem, .
did they actually learn something from this though?
(serious question, I was not paying attention to their stream during TGS)
that game looks like shit
but if they at least made the characters big tiddy girls then some people would have bought it for that
but this game just appeals to no one
>nearly naked beefcake male
>fully clothed female
>westerners will love this!
seriously where do japanese get their impression of westerners from? I hope they leanred something from this
Probably western media and Twitter, they get all of their info on the west from western movies, it’s the same manner in which some weeb thinks anime is how Japan actually is.
From American ESG slop. They know the western media is controlled and they cry constantly about representation and you can't do this or that. The problem is Japan isn't that important as a market anymore, they're third behind the UK for PS5, so inevitably some suit is going to want to get more money from overseas
>seriously where do japanese get their impression of westerners from?
From westerners? From Americans?
More like twitter lefties
10/10 bait, I genuinely cannot help myself from replying to it. But in 1/1000000 case you are serious - He's a sumo wrestler, and they wear loincloths. The girl is a ninja, hence her ninja outfit. Same reason why the samurai guy has uhh those samurai pajamas on him (sorry, don't remember how those things are called).
I hope they learn
I want Japanese take on games, not western-filtered and ESGslop japanese games.
Western == America
Zoomers are fully americanized, seeing people from French or Italy that had ecchi anime in the late 70s-80s and even more risky movies being prudes about fictional characters is jarring, it's like they aren't even that ethnicity anymore.
>risky
Risqué.
>Zoomers are fully americanized, seeing people from French or Italy that had ecchi anime in the late 70s-80s and even more risky movies being prudes about fictional characters is jarring, it's like they aren't even that ethnicity anymore.
Very true. They use the same exact woke terminology here in Italy already.
This is globohomosexual at its best (or worst). All the world will be the same in 50 years. They don't want countries to exist anymore, they start by erasing local culture.
from western media, AAA goymes and Xwitter trannies?
They look at western games and they see that they are total garbage that doesn't appeal but then they also see that they sold 6,000,000 copies
What lesson are they supposed to draw from this? They probably don't understand how many fricking NPCs controlled by nothing but shills, mass marketing and hype there are.
I have never heard of or was aware that this existed until this thread. I imagine literally no one else has either. That might be the problem.
I didn't even know this game existed until this thread and even then it looks dogshit
it's almost looks like a PS2 game but you can tell from a mile away it's bad the free camera zoomed up and shit just blocking your view if you are inside a building
like I seen better budget ps2 games
I closely follow D3 and read gematsu so I've known of it since its announcement but I have no desire to try it even for free
Same, I haven’t seen a single ad so that probably why it never sold well.
I have heard of it and it is on my todo list.
>Roguelike zombie survival game on early access
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>the game didn't sell
>was it because it's niche, janky or went completely unmarketed and unnoticed?
>no, the west is at fault!
it's insane they're still making these
yet capcom cannot make a tank controls re game
but this is what happens when you appeal to the western AAA market
They're not still making them, that game is old. You'll never see anything like it from Japan again.
I have high doubts of that
and even 3 years ago isn't that far off and even then
I still have a endless amount of old games to go through
These are very toned down games from what an ecchi game used to be. They sold better than this game but it's clear that restraining the ecchi is restraining the sales, neither of them matched
I mean to be fair what games even matched BGP back when ecchi games were thriving? It's a level of giga lewd in of itself.
It isn't. d3d has been doing a variety of games since its inception, or are you going to imply that any of the EDF games have the same level of fanservice as oneechanbara?
Its crazy how they don't get it.
If you're making a niche game with mediocre at best gameplay how do you think people will buy it? How will they even see it unless you spend millions on advertising, and even then how would they get you to buy it if its just to advertising the medicore gameplay?
The answer is lewds. There's so many games I've purchased solely out of coom. If the coom is good enough people will share it and it'll spread around to others coomers that might buy it. The idea that somehow all these companies have decided the very money maker of their games should be toned down is just insane.
It's either they don't get it anymore or they're just stalling for time until there's more favorable winds. Right now you got Sony, CERO, and sometimes even Steam going against everything that make ecchi financially viable for anything that isn't gacha trash
Most of these games would fall into whatever 15+ rating for every region regardless of CERO's autism about upskirts
How did Capcom get away with pantyshot in DD2?
It's already going to be Rated M and underwear hardly matters when the game still has monsters with their breasts out
Haven't been following the news, do we know if DD2 will still have cute e-girl?
We've seen pawns and NPCs in the trailers that are small enough so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to
Dunno, Azur Lane is rated 17+ in Japan but only 12+ in the west.
Didn't stop pic related or the now infamous Kashino skin from being released.
I don't think anyone checks mobile or browser games again after their initial release unless someone complains
Actually they do.
t. former Soccer Spirit player
Shaddup. Gacha is free from Kishida's censorship. Japanese console game got bikini banned because Kishida threatened anime and CS game staffs with tax.
And Kishida banning bikini from Jap console games since July 2022.
Do it’s just a mindless zombie killing game? Stuff like that doesn’t sell much anymore. Maybe 10 years ago it would but now it wouldn’t
>Do it’s just a mindless zombie killing game? Stuff like that doesn’t sell much anymore. Maybe 10 years ago it would but now it wouldn’t
Every indie developer wants a piece of the mindless wave killing games,

>roguelike
le sigh
i'll buy japanese games when they stop making it anime. i like watching anime but i despise the art style in video games, its equivalent to pixel art. also anime instantly makes a game look cheap.
>a shitty soulslike post elden ring
Come on now
>Feudal Japan setting
what's bizarre is that you'd think nips learned their lesson with the ps3 era where they tried to make games for americans and produced total shit
2017 was seen as the return of japan on top of the industry with the commercial and critical successes of very japanese games like botw, nier automata or persona 5 and yet 6 yers later they're still trying to pander to mutts with stuff like ff16
It's because of low PS5 software sales in Japan and devs not wanting to develop for Switch (whether it be because of the hardware or because they don't like Nintendo because of the past)
Maybe they could just like... make a good game. Don't even think about "this game is for American audience, or this game is for a Japanese audience, or..."
Just make a good game. That's all they've ever had to do.
>very japanese games like botw
You mean the game that specifically inspired by western games?
THIS, i still remember when front mission, lost planet and that ace combat tried to appeal to the western market, ALL FLOPS
And the sky is blue did they not learn anything from the big west push of gen 7?
They seem to be doing just fine. In fact, even the lackluster sales of Trails From Zero/Azure on steam due to most of the fans having already played fan ports were deemed to have "exceeded expectations". They have low standards for sure.
Even the chink version of Trails Through Daybreak is probably a healthy success from desperate english speakers alone who are content with a fan-translation.
So what? Their last 6+ games have been complete shit. They can get billions or go under, I don't care.
I miss old Falcom
It feels like after the PSP every game became Trails
They aren't doing that fine. Kuro no Kiseki was a big flop for the company to the point where they were forced into doing Switch development in house even though they didn't want to. This is being done too late and looking at pre-orders, Ys X will be the lowest launch in Ys history.
They are one of the few Japanese devs that didn't abandon ecchi/fanservice though. Their games even still have panty shots.
From a late 2022 PS4/PS5 game. There is clearly no regulations banning big jiggly anime breasts so why try and move away from them?
>There is clearly no regulations banning big jiggly anime breasts so why try and move away from them?
CERO?
cero isnt banning anything you Black person
they just give age ratings
>B-B-B-BUT MY GAME MUST HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AGE RATING OR IT WILL FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
Going up an age rating and thus limiting your market always has a negative effect on sales. It's why so many games push for T instead of M, why movies push for Pg13 instead of R, even when it makes no sense like Deadpool. Regulation changes that take mild suggestive content and redefine that as necessitating a higher age rating means de facto censorship or face a large amount of lost sales. It's effectively the same as government mandated censorship backed with a large cash penalty as far as developers are concerned. And the worst part is this is influenced by the whims of outspoken twittards and the court of public opinion more than any actual concern for whatever effects if any such content has on any individual
Don't they effectively ban naked breasts on console games? I heard that the Witcher and other Western games had the nudity removed (not just genitals)on the Japanese console releases to avoid the equivalent of an Ao esrb rating.
Yes, CERO has a strict no nipples policy. They've also gotten harsher about panty shots, but I think those can still be included in their M-equivalent. Outside of that they tend to be less strict about sexuality and more strict on gore than other ratings agencies though.
Esrb got a bit more strict recently but mostly on marketing and stuff like box artwork, thats why smash announcements just said character name rather than game, pegi have no issues.
Most devs pick lower rating for stupid reasons because aside that they are quite loose.
>There is clearly no regulations banning big jiggly anime breasts
You might wanna read this anon
https://boundingintocomics.com/2021/01/08/report-censorship-among-key-reasons-playstation-brand-faces-decisive-decline-in-japan/
>“Aniplex, which is part of the Sony umbrella, is deriving large amounts of income from Fate/Grand Order’s swimsuit characters, but on PlayStation, games that depict swimsuits either cannot be sold or have had alterations forced onto them,” Yasuda explained. “This is nothing but a double standard. All this does is feed into users’ distrust. This policy should immediately be rescinded.”
>“However, it unfortunately seems to be taboo for Sony’s upper management to breach the topic of censorship, so we predict that ACE Economic Research Institute’s opinion will be ignored,” he jabbed.
But that's Snoy applying their moronic rules to appeal to Californians walking AIDS zombies
This might be the reason that Smash has some characters that are censored. It's only when Bamco started developing Smash that Peach stopped having her underwear modeled, and instead replaced by a dark void.
keeping lewd games off consoles or making them censor content drives more players to gachas where devs can extract even more money from them. it's clearly working, the gacha industry is huge and fgo in particular has made billions.
Switch also has those lewd games. Not all of them of course, but enough to cater to the otakus. I wouldn't be surprised if a significant part of Switches sold in Japan was because of those.
most of the lewd games on switch are mobile game tier and none of them come close to the pure degeneracy of something like venus vacation. the fanbases for those switch games are very small anyway, they are super niche titles.and i think the switch is only now starting to come close to moving the number of units that the ds did when the market was way smaller and they had more competition because sony was still making handhelds.
i don't think the very small community of autists that love ecchi but for some reason hate the medium that nearly every ecchi game is on are doing much to carry switch sales. like what are we even looking at as far as lewd switch games are concerned? the qureate titles and were getting removed?
Sony stalling Genshin's Switch port means that the lewd games are doing well on it. They wouldn't otherwise.
>venus vacation
Didn't they say that it was too hard to port it onto Switch? Not that they weren't willing.
i'm fairly confident the genshin switch port is not happening and got moved to the switch 2 since that's coming out next year and they won't have to waste as much money optimizing it.
FYI DOAX3 Scarlet was ported to Switch and PS4, with the PS4 version being censored.
VV use the same engine so it's probably KT not willing to port the game to Switch, especially considering that they are themselves trying to cater to the western market.
>censorshit destroys japanese industry
>meanwhile. . in chinese otaku labs. .
Truth is these games are more known when there is controversy behind
Neptunia and trails have panties and people dont spam threads about that
>but on PlayStation, games that depict swimsuits either cannot be sold or have had alterations forced onto them
This can't be real. I keep seeing it posted that Japanese games can't have bikinis anymore, but it seems like it's publishers self censoring, rather than a real regulation passed down by CERO or Sony.
The difference in Yakuza is it's not anime themed nor are the characters underaged.
The difference is Sega doesn't give a frick.
Idolm@ster on the PS4 still let you grab 12 year old breasts and put them in swimsuits. But that game had no western release and even the Steam release is region locked so westerns can't purchase it.
>use vpn to change region
>buy game
>change region back
Nothing personnel ESRB.
it's always publishers, even in China where the CCP will actually come down and start strongly suggesting changes the devs always find workarounds or just ignore it. Or in the last few years, rely on oyohiM to attract all the government attention while everyone else just does what they want.
>want to appeal to lonely single otaku without a family but a good paying job with fanservice
>those otaku all play mobage after a hard day at work because it's thoughtless and can be done on the train
>can make a mobile game for a fraction of the cost of a real game
>can make more money off the mobile game
The market dictated that the anime fanservice money is on mobile so that's where the games catering to otaku are at. The f2p structure gives neets a chance to play the game and advertise for them too, same with artists that will draw porn and bring in even more players. Mobage like FGO were carried HARD by the porn, porn is the best advertisement a mobile game can receive and then people jerk off to their waifu for years and keep whaling to max out every version of her so they can show off screenshots in the large communities f2p games have or to show off on their friends list like it's a damn rolex..
Sure Black person.

they are animated by men who never saw real boobs and ignore why women have bras.
you are vastly underestimating the number of deranged women working in gamedev and in manga/hentai in asia
is the dude that shits his pants whenever someone says that pochigoya is female around?
I haven't been in a pochi thread in ages but probably yes, those morons never tend to go away. also here's another example of something made by a female illustrator for girls frontline, yes this is an actual skin in the game.
Never recommend that dude any guro mangas made by japanese women.
Are pink haired women with pony tails just an ethnicity in Kiseki or what?
pink haired women with pony tails are for anal only
It's kind of their fault.
The games are fine, but it just gets harder and harder to get into them when the numbered title keeps getting bigger and you need to play 10 games to buy the new one.
They honestly should ditch trails, Ys and come with something similar but new, something people can get in without having to play any other game prior and planning for a trilogy at best.
they tried with tokyo xanadu, didnt work
new popful mail when
>They aren't doing that fine.
Falcom has a massive fanbase in China and SEA countries (Kondo recently said in an interview that most of Falcom's new employees are Chinese even). They can survive just fine with the sales there alone. Also, remember that they've survived all gens so far while all other small devs from the 80s bankrupt themselves trying to make the jump to HD back in the 00s.
Don’t tell them about how Kuro is filled with wokeshit.
I actually played through the crossbell games a couple months ago for the first time, the steam version was great
You were on that "how many games did you beat this year" thread yesterday weren't you. Feels like there's newcomers to Kiseki every week, it's definitely popular just from word of mouth alone. It's the perks of an obsessive autistic fanbase.
>You were on that "how many games did you beat this year" thread yesterday weren't you
nope, but I went on a tear of Trails games in June through August. Beat all 3 Trails in the sky, the crossbell games, and got through CS1 and halfway through CS2 before I had to take a break for all the other games coming out. Glad I ended up playing them, it's pretty much the last major RPG franchise I haven't played up to this point
You have more willpower than me. I got severely burned out after CS1 and had to put the series on hold for 3 years. I've done the rest since before the Crossbell games were on Steam which I'm going through currently at a much slower pace. 5 games in a row starring running laps around Crossbell is quite a toll.
Different anon, I'm on Zero now, but had to stop for a few days because talking with npcs everytime was too much. Took it better now, play one hour a day
Also talking with npcs actually paid off here since there is a chapter where you have to figure out which npc is acting weird
I do wish npcs had some kind of characters charts like ff16
Though the problem is more like with Yakuza, getting into the games too late
it can feel like a chore sometimes for sure, but it really makes the world feel lived in. It's so fun seeing how each named NPC goes about their day and changes over the course of the games
Agreed. I love Bond's family and the 2 guys trying to open their own business
I also suspect some of these characters will get their own portrait in azure
I honestly tried to get into yakuza and was tired of it after 10 hours
I'm not gonna bother again
shit's tedious and a chore to play
I guess I should try shenmue now to see if it's more fun
Reminder that the /fg/ completed their Kuro 2 patch last week.
how far ahead is that? Still have to finish CS2, but then I know there's a CS3 and CS4. Is reverie after that?

Kuro was not a success, sales for the Trails series are down world wide. Kuro has a bunch of woke shit in it and Ys X preorders are terrible. Falcom might be dead in a few years.
t. learned Japanese to play the Trails series and dropped Kuro when they added white supremacist nonsense to appease israelites
It's a real shame because Hajimari was great.
Yeah I saw about that one. Was it a homosexual director? or was it really just to appeal to the west?
It was ESG money. Which dried up when interest rates went up. Falcom isn't going to get new people interested in their games without alienating their old fan base, which they already did.
That's tragic. Is there any hope in falcom or are they still just as bad?
There's no hope of me giving money to israeli wienersuckers ever again at any rate.
I don't blame you. I remember seeing all that white supremacy crap in disbelief.
Falcom died with the PSP
No they literally hired Californians to their writing team.
Kuro 2 has a side quest where you have to stop some people who try to destroy a Mishy festival and cause violence because the Calvard Mishy has a different "localized" design from the Crossbell Mishy. It feels like they are directly strawmanning people who have issues with bad localization, you can just feel whoever wrote that is a bitter localizer.
Wasn't it some whine about how notBurgers were being meany racists to notChinese?
>added white supremacist
you clearly didn't play Ao then
>you clearly didn't play Ao then
I did, in Japanese. Did they add some israeli nonsense to the English version?
What was the last game that sold well because of sexy anime girls? Nier Automata 6 years ago?
>anime girls
>Nier Automata
>anime
When you see a Japanese person talking in real life, do you call him an anime person?
I tell him to turn on the english dub or put subtitles so I can read what he's saying
Nier Automata had an intentional anime-inspired art style. We know this because it was a sequel to something- the YORHA idol play- which emphatically did not, and subsequently switched to match on post-Automata revivals
>What was the last game that sold well because of sexy anime girls?
Should have clarified, I meant paid games not f2p ones.
Ah right, yeah Ryza definitely counts.
I'm pretty sure FGO makes money. A lot of it.
Nta but
It's still a free to play game. He is obviously talking about paid console / PC games
Yeah, gachas print money and use sex to sell but it's fairly common there, anime breasts being a selling point for games that aren't f2p on mobile seems much rarer these days.
>anime breasts being a selling point for games that aren't f2p on mobile seems much rarer these days.
Of course. The best sexy anime girls are on F2P gacha games. Full-priced premium games cannot match the quantity, variety, or sexiness the gacha games have. As a player, you can also choose which sexy anime girl to spend your money on as well as continue to get new choices in sexy anime girls as the live service game updates over time. No one looking for sexy anime girls in their video games would look to the full-priced premium market.
That's unfortunate. I despise mobile gacha games because I find them shallow cheap garbage.
But I have played many real games where I thought, "this would be better with sexy anime girls. They should make a sexy anime girl game like this"
Which real games did you think would be better with sexy anime girls?
Frickin all of them
Yes this is childish as hell but I was playing KOTOR a few months back and thought to myself that a modern Japanese anime-style game with the same game mechanics would be really fun and immersive.
>KOTOR
You can't even trust western devs to make a good modern take on that anymore
You'll have to learn how to mod then.
I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS I LOVE loose GYARUS
I'm just saying it's weird how no Japanese dev has tried to make a game kinda like that with the same mechanics and systems. It would be really neat.
You're weird. You think people make video games for you instead of for a paycheck.
Idk I don't think it's revolutionary to say that making a good game would probably make them even more profits, especially the developers of the OP's game
Why would they when the bad games with sexy anime girls make so much money?
Don't know, but it would be cool to see the sexy anime girls in an actually good game
Not for the studio that would have to shut down for poor sales as a result.
she looks like she fricks shotas
This. Literally no game wouldn't be imrpove by sexy anime girls. It doesn't even need to be full on sex appeal. Literally just having attractive characters alone is an improvement over not. The uglification of video game characters is honestly a bigger cancer than even the war against fanservice.
>KOTOR
That's because KOTOR is basically running off the d20 OGL. Japan has a much smaller pen and paper roleplaying culture; and most of it revolves around 2d6 systems or Call of Cthulhu.
NTA but a tacticool fps with the production values of CoD but cute anime girls sounds great
Didn't know it was something I needed till seeing someone model swap GFL waifus into CoD, the absurdity is hilarious
?si=H25Pl8oed_qwZbcq
homies need to do the voice-overs with AI and then its really good.
All of them, I happen to be a ryonachad.
Forgot pic.
>As a player, you can also choose which sexy anime girl to spend your money on
False, these games have a gacha system so to get all the characters and skins that you want you would need to spend the same amount as a premium game
Also most of these games have worse gameplay than Senran Kagura, only have 2d images rather than 3d models, and the lewds themselves are no better compared to console games. In some cases console games like Senran Kagura and the first two ryza games actually show more skin. Also these games tend to not have bikini outfits
PC also has porn games with actual nudity
As you say, no one's stopping anyone from just playing porn games. Enjoy yourselves.
I already do that, but I also want normal games that have sexy outfits / fanservice. And gacha doesn't scratch that itch because the gameplay is too shit, and you can't actually see the characters in game in a 3d environment.
Play Nioh 2.
The shitty armour ruins Nioh 2. Why have one of the best character creators in any AAA game ever and then fricking gut it completely by only having shitty samurai armours. Frick Koei Tecmo and their historical autism.
For me, actual Ecchi games really feel like they fall into an uncanny valley of gameplay being weakened by the fanservice, but by their very nature they can't go all the way to pornography. So I don't see any reason to buy them in most cases. I'm sure there are stellar ecchi games out there, but most of them are pretty mediocre that bank mostly on the big breasts.
I think for console games it was atelier ryza
Is there anything worse than out of touch nips?
It's 2023, zoomers love anime, kpop shit and japanese games. Sure some western games are going to still top the charts most of the time because they have more mass appeal, but you haven't had it this easier to sell than nowadays doing what you do.
Seeing cute anime girls shooting stuff can have it's meme fun and that's why people bought those games, you delete than and all you have is the usual boring zombie cooperative game that every 3d indie studio shits but with even more jank, why would anyone play that? And you promote it with some random gaijin streamers doing faces? I'm sorry but you can't be this dumb.
>release weird ass asiaticslop that doesnt even offer breasts
>pretend to sell anything
No way
Japanese games and culture became popular overseas because they were perceived as unique and perverted, penetrating cultural taboos that you would never see in our media. Maybe they should stick to that if that gimmick if they want to appeal to overseas fans. Ignore the western twitter troons and do what was obviously making you money before, because twitter troon pats on the back don't correlate to Japanese yen.
>that price tag
>rogue-like
>cheap PS2 looking graphics
I've no idea what this game is, but is it possible its simply bad?
It's not uncommon for small indie devs to hit lucky with a title, but only for the next one to flop completely. It has nothing to do with ESG slurp (Larry wouldn't look sideways at a small Japanese dev), its just the dev coping he's made a bad game.
>release game on Steam
That's your problem
>Chasing The West is Killing Small Japanese Developers
Holy shit, are they just realizing this?
You know what else is killing them? Blowing Sony and ignoring Nintendo. Now they're reaping the rewards.
>Blowing Sony and ignoring Nintendo. Now they're reaping the rewards.
I really can't understand how we're basically in October 2023 and these japanese devs still refuses to put their titles on Switch at release for some moron obsession, delusion or blind faith that it'll do better on PS because they believe that PS is more popular worldwide.
>blind faith that it'll do better on PS because they believe that PS is more popular worldwide.
It's funny that there is weird belief that PS is more popular than Switch in the West. Switch is huge globally, if Jap devs want to make dumb Western chasing products that's STILL not a good excuse to drop Switch.
>It's funny that there is weird belief that PS is more popular than Switch in the West
Blame the snoys for propagating the market leader bullshit the last decade. It was only during the ABK debacle that they started saying Sony wasn't the market leader to downplay their dominance in 3rd party exclusivity being monopolistic in nature.
How many of you did you buy gravity rush? Because mods were the first ones to remove Kat threads here
What does that have to do with my post?
That's why when kpopgays say so and so was influenced by kpop it's ironic to me because their whole pop scene is from japan and the west
You're misunderstanding something here. PS4 is way easier to develop for than Switch, that's huge factor, if not the main one.
their problem, not mine.
Don't make PS4 the lead platform then. Develop it for Switch and then port it upwards to PS4 if the game is even allowed to release there.
These former ecchi devs now chasing da West used to be fricking Vita devs, there's no excuse.
The Switch uses drastically different architecture than the other consoles. Playstation and Xbox are AMD, the Switch is the sole console using ARM. If you're developing for the Switch then you can easily port to mobile but at that point, just develop for mobile, turn it into gacha, and skip the Switch altogether. Which is...what the ecchi devs are doing.
>Which is...what the ecchi devs are doing.
Where is D3Publisher's and Compile Heart's mobile games?
Marvelous is the only former console ecchi -> mobile ecchi I can think of.
I can't speak for D3, but I know Compile Heart's attempt at a gacha failed. Oddly the voice acted alarm clock app is still going tough.
>The Switch uses drastically different architecture than the other consoles
Anon.... middle ware has made this trivial for like 20 fricking years now.
We don't code in ASM anoymore
companies don't just drop engines into their games as they come out of the box.
...No, they code the game on an engine that is already able to target multiple platforms.
Come on anon
they still don't tend to ship it as it comes.
Sure there are optimizations/tweaks/adjustments for each platform, but you're wildly over selling how much needs to be done unless you're trying to do multiplat AAA.
The VAST majority of games don't have that level of graphic fidelity, and the games we're talking about absolutely do not.
We live in a post Renderware landscape, get with the times.
>graphic fidelity
sometimes it's about tweaking physics and shit, not the eyecandy.
The bigger issue is the Switch itself being so weak and the eternal chase for graphics. Devs think they need to make their games look good to stand out on PC.
>Devs think they need to make their games look good to stand out on PC.
Its funny, they really don't. some of the best sellers on pc are dumpy looking games.
More then any platform does gameplay>graphics... and ironically its the platform that can offer the best graphics.
>some of the best sellers on pc are dumpy looking games.
Those are mostly indies that do something different to set them apart from other games. AA/AAA games are mostly retreads that need to find some other way to stand out and graphics are the easy way to do that. So is making it an ecchi game instead.
Graphics not mattering on PC just shows how much people want cool new experiences than the same old shit the games industry keeps churning out.
Most games from niche Japanese devs still look like they're made for Vita/early PS3 although they manage to run like garbage even on much more powerful hardware.
Most of those devs had their breakthrough on a Playstation console, which is why they are so loyal to the brand.
At least Vanillaware learned their lesson.
Pretty sure it's because it has no COOP (EDF) and because it was sold with very little content early access, which people are really tired of. Zombie shit doesn't help either, but I guess if they made Dead Rising inspired game but just set in Jap mall then it could have been much more popular, since people are more hungry for those types of games.
The game looks like utter horse shit. Maybe try making a good game first before complaining that it's not selling.
I just saw this game a week ago and actually want to play it on xbox. Great trailer and looked really fun.
>basically an indie game
>skipped the switch
>didn't even make a PS4 version
stupid fricking playstation fanboy developers getting what's coming to em
when they have to drop the PS4 it's gonna be a laugh a minute when all these homosexuals start crying
literally who
japan is fricking over their own devs by taking on extremely shitty projects like this
they've already made a bunch of "dude SOULS but ANIME LMAO" vidyas and almost all have been flops
instead of innovating they just keep churning shit out because the market philosophy of Japanese game studios is "throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks" - you work on 100 shitty projects and then one gets big and that's all your studio makes from then on, forever.
they're trying hard to make "anime souls" stick because it's an obvious play, eventually one will come up with a cool character, cool mechanic, or interesting twist on the genre and everyone will shit their pants over it.
has nothing to do with muh west, muh coomers, muh anime and everything to do with japan's philosophy on gamedev. they did this with literally every genre of game that's been popular in japan domestic market from horror, to mecha, to RPGs, and even coomer shit. for every "artificial academy" there's 1000 "sexy moron goes to the market" or whatever garbage-tier clones get pumped out every year.
There's thousands of western devs out there making licensed games
Anime souls lmao is literally just there to feed their next project
Anime souls lmao is not the problem
did you even read my post? i said it's an obvious play and eventually one will stick
just like with licensed games, for every thousand shitty "dude it's smash with more Black folk" there comes along some absolute gem like simpsons hit&run
it's a market saturation philosophy that's present in both markets, but more intense in Japan
Then it's not a problem since the devs making the anime souls lmao games are already paid. Doesn't mean that souls lmao games are the only kinds of games they can make.
im defending the practice by saying it's common, you ESL turboBlack person.
any studio that does this "fricks over devs" by giving them projects instead of letting them make whatever extremely niche autistic shit they'd rather be making
that's true of any job.
>japan is fricking over their own devs by taking on extremely shitty projects like this
Taking on licensed crap doesn't stop innovation from happening
I also already said that taking on such projects funds their own shit
That means the phrase "fricks over devs" is wrong
it just delays the innovation, literally all industries do this, not just vidya.
that guy with the cool idea at Apple won't get to pitch his super-dyanmic-mousepad until he makes shitty autocorrect bugfixes for a decade.
>delays
Without licensed money, that innovation won't happen
Apple was already rich, we're talking about mom and pop devs from Japan here not Nintendo
Code vein sold well though.
Also censorship of Japanese games does happen on PlayStation. Atleast for the smaller games.
Amazing how cucked they are, "let just follow sony and sega guys!".
I want Nintendo to eat shit for falling for the open world meme but normalgays won't stop buying open shit
So it's just another case of devs missing the "if I wanted to play a western pandering game, I'd just play some western developed game".
>nip makes a mediocre game
>b-but americuh!
h u e
the truffs, is Japanese games SUCK
have you seen any of their indies? they're almost non-existent, and the ones that exist SUCK HARD.
I didnt even know this game existed
Also hornygays play gacha now, they dont even buy the lewd games anymore
why are japanese trying to cater to the west?
why should i buy their game instead of west-made western game?
western gamers want to play JAPANESE game
most of us dont like western woketrash anyway
Please stop saying woke my dad says woke and it's annoying
>why are japanese trying to cater to the west?
the smart ones are not

hell yeah
It's a lie.
According to KADOKAWA ASCII Research Laboratories in 2022:
- console hardware segment growing 3.4% year-on-year to 209.8 billion yen (US$1.4 billion)
- console software segment even growing 5.9% to 389.3 billion yen (US$2.7 billion)
- game apps reaching 1.2 trillion yen (US$8.5 billion) in market size in 2022 – down 4.4% on the year
- year-on-year, PC gaming is up a whopping 43% from 131.3 billion yen (US$0.9 billion) to 189.2 billion yen (US$1.3 billion)
https://www.serkantoto.com/2023/08/30/japan-gaming-market-size/
aw, at least its catching up pretty well, sadly i know its mostly on garbage like apex or valorant
That's not a lie. It's 2021. Yours is 2022. And this is what 2022 looks like.
Kinda weird right? "Western audience" is like saying "international community". It's not everyone. People in the west interested in japanese games are interested in them because they're NOT like western games.
same thing happened to kpop
to get western audience they made their music sound like western music and put in vulgar trash and swearing and 'urban' culture
it became western music with asian faces instead of quirky classic kpop
they shot themselves in the foot
Kpop is garbage, who cares.
You want a real answear? During gen 8 Sony was able to sell them the "japanese vidya market is dying" fairytale. Since Wii U was dead and Xbox was a non-starter, targetting muh west with PS4 was the "only" way
But it's strange, at that time the early-mid PS4 and the Vita are full of Japanese market appealing games.
Switch is now one of the most popular consoles ever in Japan and it seems like JP market focused games are deader than ever.
Well, Sony specifically killed Vita off so nips would stop making games for it and focus on PS4.
Then they put in their cesorship policies on top of CERO so you couldn't release your game on PS4 if they didn't allow it.
Tendies used to hate weeb games though
Tendies still do hate weeb games. There's still loads of Nintendogays who shit their pants and flip their nuggies plate when a Direct shows a JRPG.
Switch players like weeb games because they are the ones who left PS and went to Switch.
I've played Ed-0; you can just pirate it. It's... not great. Not completely awful but pretty bad. The game is a 3d classical roguelike like Shrien the Wanderer or Baroque. It's mired in ancient game design and overall it's very grindy. The average zombie has about 600 HP and your attacks do 30 damage to start with. You need to collect items and level up with money between runs to even keep up with damage.
chasing the west would solve their problems, PUT EDF 6 ON PC YOU FRICKING moronS
>*generic japanese 3d beatemup asset flip fully voiced in Japanese with bizarre japanese controls*
>why didn't Ed-0 株式会社ディースリー・パブリッシャー sell well for western audiences?!?!
The irony is that now asian shit is more popular for western. Blame n fatigue. Western women are obsessed with korean shows and anime more than ever now since they can enjoy cute guys and their selfinsert flirting with hot guys and not the boring I'M SO DISCRIMINATED black guy: the character
>game is a massive failure
I will now play your game
this is their previous game btw
they have decided to gulp down israeli esg loads and became moronic
Sales?
100k
So there are less than 100k anti snoy people then
That was before snoy went full anti fanservice. I jumped ship and never got PS5 after snoy fricked jap games.
They reported 100,000 sales in 2020. The game is from 2018.
At this point, why wouldn't you just play a proper h-game?
>why don't you just eat ice cream for every meal instead of a desert
>food analogy
some people like a bit of gameplay sprinkled on top of their porn
Oh look ANOTHER indie rogue lite.
BUT THIS ONE HAS MOON RUNES
good. live like a cow, die like a cowboy. flop for ten years
>developers do their own thing
>game ends up a success
>developers chase the latest "trend"
>flops so hard it kills the studio
incompetence kills japanese dev
Chinese and Koreans are doing just fine
can't they compete? too bad
d3 is just ran by mentally moronic japs, its almost 2024 and still no fricking release date for edf 6 PC
>most people here didn't even hear of the game
>people who heard about the game from their own trailer just saw a screaming black man
Clearly it bombed for the lack of ecchi and no other reason whatsoever
Lack of ecchi can still apply to that though.
If the game had ecchi then the fans would have marketed it for free.
Are you saying ecchi lovers have low standards?
Yes
These devs can't make good games. Ecchi lets people forgive all the other shortcomings.
Looks like utter garbage and the Devs blame it on marketing
and big companies, Forspoken bombed so hard that not even the sales of FFXVI could balance out the losses of Forspoken
bgf was a kusoge but atleast it had some appeal
the new game is just a boring slash and hack
That's why ecchi is important. These devs are just simply not talented enough to make great playing games and never will be. They will never make a game that massively appeals to the West, they don't have the capacity to meet the graphical standards Western audiences have.
With ecchi you get a dedicated fanbase who will sing unending praises about the game, and you can get away with bad graphics, bad gameplay, because people are just playing the game to see some breasts.
Not true. There's thousands of flopping ecchi games.
lol no
its niche, but its niche that golps down every single existing ecchi/hentai game released
what can flop is tame ecchi like Senran Kagura, since no one needs non hentai game with shit gameplay
Nobody is talking about needing top tier revenue or advertisement. When I say flop I mean underperforming, even towards adjusted expectations.
>1 developer
Regardless if it had breasts or not, as long as at least 100 people bought it for $30 or so then it's a success. Those don't count since indies of that scope rely more on how good their games are rather than breasts. We're talking about devs, several.
If this game had cute girls at least (not even ecchi) it would have double the sales minimum.
Samurai Maiden is just as low budget and dull to play and did much better.
the most recent example is Eternights - made by 1 person, it sold well despite shit graphics and mechanics by just adding dating element to the game and few romantic arts
I heard that the game had a ending where you end up getting cucked, is that true or just some Ganker schizo rambling?
it's a korean game
I'd like to point out that this game was at 80k by the end of January: https://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/202302080001/
国内外ともにセールス状況が非常に好調でして、発売後2ヶ月時点で約8万本程度までセールスを伸ばすことができております。コンシューマの美少女ゲームが一時期よりも減っているなかで、新規IPでここまでの実績をあげられたのは、ご声援いただいたユーザーの皆様のおかげです。ありがとうございます!
MTL because I'm lazy:
>Sales are very strong both in Japan and overseas, and we have been able to increase sales to approximately 80,000 units as of two months after its release. Even though the number of consumer bishoujo games is decreasing compared to a while ago, it is thanks to all the users who have supported us that we have been able to achieve this much with new IPs. thank you!
It most likely broke 100k like Bullet Girls Phantasia since.
The PC releases of 2 and Finale are two years late on their console counterparts so they get little fanfare, people who cared already played on console or likely emulated the Switch version long ago.
>コンシューマの美少女ゲーム
I too coom to bsihoujo gemus
>Even though the number of consumer bishoujo games is decreasing compared to a while ago
That's so sad, and the fact that Samurai Maiden still managed to break probably 100k despite all the toned down-ness shows there is still a desperate audience ready to chomp at the bit for anything.
Try to remember that small budget games can make a reasonable profit off of a proportionally small number of sales. Not every company needs the triple A, > 10 million sales or flop due to ridiculous budgets.
The problem is always how a game is advertised. That ninja in ed0 has a big cleavage and all they had to do was stuff the camera in there in several trailer shots and make the graphics a bit more colorful.
This is exactly what they did with Samurai Maiden, where the trailers practically felt like they were made with vtuber fans in mind (with 2d cutout still talking to you) and showcasing skirt flipping, even though they censored them with black void in photo mode etc.
i remember the samurai maiden interview trailer, it was funny good marketing
>Destroys all shitposters and naysayers with one line
Well you need to have some artistic talent, at least.
If breasts were enough for a bad game then every fricking ecchi mobage should be lining the Top 100
Should be occupying PS+ and Eshop
And Steam
Frick that shit, I'd rather just cut the middle man and play an actual porn game with better gameplay than deal with ecchi bullshit.
You'll understand when you get older
You didn’t play FFXVI, that game got anime as frick
>Hey filthy gajins, you ran to buy game? Is western like the billions of western games but is worse
What's the point of making the game in jJpan if it's not going to feel like it's made in Japan?
>"chase the west"
>do business with localisers that censor your game and ruin it with """flavor""" and left-wing translations
Yeah that ain't it chief.
These threads are actually the most advertising this game has received, btw.
>stealth drop some generic-ass zombie roguelite shovelware-looking game on to Steam
>"wtf why didn't it sell?"
I think I saw more threads talking about Samurai Maidens. probably since it's yuri or something and based yuri enjoyers wanted to share it.
No one talked about ed0 because there was no outrage/controversy or memes related to it.
Samurai Maiden had several, like panties black void censorship, putting botched localization to censor anything that implied they were "school girls" and 70 bucks price tag for a budget release.
On top of that, there was some schizo spamming SM threads saying this game will revive good old jap games for a short time before its release.
Similar thing happened to Eternights - on top of being featured in Playstation Showcase, it was memed to death due to its handholding mechanic, so of course it just had to have dozen lol so lewd handholding XD threads.
globalization has been a disaster for the human race.
>no shit sherlock
Everything coming out of Japan has been strictly worse ever since they stopped making those things for their market exclusively
>Japan has been strictly worse ever since they stopped making those things for their market exclusively
This. I hope they go back to the old days. Hopefully without localizing anything so troonylators lose their jobs.
I played it for a hour, the game was trash and not in the fun way either, tutorial was busted and the gameplay was boring with spongy moronic enemies.
hows the new mary skelter doing? it released with 0 marketing
>ghostlight
oh no no
it's the same morons who tried to censor the previous game, and ended up legit breaking the game until they reverted how lazily they hacked it out
how do they keep getting work as localizers
Only only bought Omega Labyrinth and Bullet Girls because I noticed the anime breasts. Honestly I like Omega Labyrinth's gameplay even, but I wouldn't have even noticed it if it wasn't disgustingly cute.
who???
>thread about japs catering to the west
>western Black folk complain about not being catered to enough
>everything is burger politics to a burger
KEK
Black folk complain about not being catered to enough
Its true.
These games are one foot in Japanese design, and one food in western design, and it's awful for it since they never truly embrace what makes either side fun/attractive to play.
Either outright make western style games, or keep what you're doing with Japanese design. Don't half ass both.
Disingenuous gays attempting to change the narrative as usual. Not to be that guy, but I bet you don't even like or buy jap media.

>straight to identity
>as he QQs over Japanese media being about Japanese issues

Roguelikes are just a shit genre. This has nothing to do with chasing the west. Pandering to the west works if it's done right, just look at FromSoft.
I don't even need ecchi, I just want Japanese-style writing, characters, worldbuilding, and yes, even humor. Preferably wrapped in an JRPG gameplay style. But it's so rare from Japan now, we just get shitty western indies poorly emulating the SNES era while sprinkling their culture war into things.
Ironically, you'll have an easier time finding games still like that on DLSite and if they are translated by the their own translation team, that will be higher quality as well
Unfortunately, those are all porn and typically involve a female protagonist getting raped by dogs and old men.
>unfortunately
I hate bestiality and ugly bastards.
They're leaning the hard way again, the west doesn't fricking want "westernized" Japanese games, the who like Japanese games in the west like what they're already used to. The w*stoids who already aren't going to be won over because it has zombies in it or is somewhat based on a western IP or chasing western trends.
More like they're aping the wrong things. Original inspiration for first Jrpgs was Ultima IV. The original inspiration for mangas and animu came from old Disney films and franco-belgian sci-fi and fantasy comics. Japanese took all the best ideas from those and then added their own cultural twists to them. That shit still works.
Japanese developers who try to imitate Call of Duty and "what westerners might like" are missing the whole point. Metal Gear Solids and Death Strandings are successful games because they're heavily inspired by western films, but made through the lens of a mentally ill japanese weirdo. The awkward and weird japanese twist is not a bug, its a feature.
>ut made through the lens of a mentally ill japanese weirdo. The awkward and weird japanese twist is not a bug, its a feature.
That's what struck me so hard with the FF16 marketing and put me off from even buying it. They were trying so hard to complain about westerners perceiving Japanese devs as an 'other' and how they wanted to buck those stereotypes, thinking they were derogatory when they are in fact the main reason Japanese games have any fanbase overseas at all. Call it an exoticism or orientalism if you want, but people want Japanese flavor.
Sure. Japan is no stranger to aping the west for shit. Just look at Metroid, it's whole thing is being if Alien was done as sci-fi anime, most JRPGs ape directly not just Ultima, but Also D&D, and Tolkien. The difference here is, they were still distinctly Japanese products, and they understood what made them good, at least a little. Trying imitate something like CoD or GoW, or putting zombies in because of The Walking Dead, without understand why people liked those things in the first place is a fools errand and doomed for failure.
Resident Evil franchise is like a japanese love letter to western horror B-movies. Japanese do "get" zombies, as long as the devs aim at doing B-horror with them or surreal Junji Ito-tier shit like Forbidden Siren games.
Resident Evil is a hodgepodge of various different western b-movie horror tropes. Even the first game had everything from giant killer animals, man-eating plants, killer sharks, and escaped mutants from an underground lab, it was never JUST zombies. So yeah, I agree, they understood it then, but most games that focus on just zombies, namely from Japan miss the mark entirely, Not saying it can't work, but we need a Kojima-esq horror nut to make it happen first.
99% of japanese zombie games eventually have some other monsters instead. Only franchise that comes to mind that only has zombies is Oneechanbara. And those are like braindead bargain bin musou games where you get tons of zombies on the screen at once and the whole appeal is to just mash buttons and see the screen fill with cowgirl breasts and blood. Forbidden Sirens start as zombie games too but in all of those games the more the game progresses, more the Shibito or Yamibito turn into weird eldritch monstrosities.
The difference between stuff like MGS or Metroid and the shit in this thread is that in case of the latter there is a noticeble stench of pathetic desperation. They're just trying to ape something that's popular somewhere else as opposed to giving it their own spin.
I 100% Ed-0.
It sold like shit because
>the marketing in the beginning was terrible. They made it seem more like "Earth Defense Force but with zombies" instead of the real-time Mystery Dungeon clone that it is
>very unforgiving in the Early Access state. When you die, you barely could tell what even killed you, and you lost all of your gold, which was used to upgrade your stats among other things. Casuals HATE real difficulty like this and prefer "casual difficulty" ala FromSoftware
>Despite it being exclusive to PCs, made zero other attempts to market the game property, such as a lack of collaboration from ANY V-Tuber
>would go radio silent for months on end during the Early Access period.
>Still exclusive to PC platform despite it coming out in July
And so on and so forth. The game in its current state is actually good and enjoyable, but their first impression was so terrible that it basically doomed them to failure.
The issue is, it appeals to no-one, and isn't good enough for word of mouth to make the difference.
And I think it got a PS4/5 release too, but that really makes no difference.
>The issue is, it appeals to no-one
I mean, Mystery Dungeon games seem to appeal to some people, or else they wouldn't keep making them.
Good marketing is almost always a crucial aspect to most successful media, and every opportunity they had to market the game, they did everything they WEREN'T supposed to do.
If they were just straight in the beginning with the game being a Mystery Dungeon clone and made sure the console releases were at the same time PC gout out of Early Access, it would have seen some modest success at worst considering its low budget in the first place.
If it was a Mystery Dungeon style game, then they did a shit job showing it. And even if people knew that pre-hand, the overlap between the style and tone of the game, and the people who like Mystery Dungeons is limited to put it lightly, and much more likely to just replay what they have or pick up Shiren or the Chocobo one. This game had no chance in hell of finding an audience, it unironically would've done better if they just made the ninja girl the focus and made it into an Onechanbara clone or something.
>it unironically would've done better if they just made the ninja girl the focus and made it into an Onechanbara clone or something.
This is also where things are being muddled.
Lots of people are saying "why wasn't this game like *game D3 developed/published in the past* instead of a Mystery Dungeon clone?
Because it never was going to be. D3 are only the publishers of this game. Lancarse are the developers, and they co-developed Etrian Oddessy and Strange Journey so they have experience in dungeon crawlers. They just wanted to take that knowledge and apply it to a real-time action game instead.
It never was going to be like Oneechanbara in the first place because that isn't what the developers had in mind, and D3's logo being plastered on the front like they were the ones that developed it only hurt the reception of the game.
Not saying it was ever going to be that, but it SHOULD'VE just based on what we've seen. It was a dumb idea from the start, and misguided at best, espeically if they thought the west was ever going to be on board. Unless your name is Pokemon, Mystery Dungeon games are VERY niche, it was never going to be the kind of games streaming morons would plug on their Twitch accounts like they obviously wanted it to be if this trailer is anthing to go by
I only said Oneechanbara because it's the only kind of game I could imagine this even being slightly successful as, and even then I don't it wouldn't been that much better.
>it unironically would've done better if they just made the ninja girl the focus and made it into an Onechanbara clone or something.
Played the game and honestly it was torture before they released the Ninja at the end of last year. She is incredible overpowered and way more fun to play than the other two characters due to her mobility.
>people die when they are killed
hey um
I dont know
what if
uuuuh
they
like
uhhh
I dont know
DIDN'T FRICKING CHASE THE WEST AND MADE GAMES FOR WEEBS AND JAPANESE PLAYERS LIKE NORMAL
I KNOW
FRICKING INCREDIBLE THOUGHT THAT NEVER OCCURRED THESE homosexualS WHEN IT'S SO SIMPLE
Steam is oversaturated with tens of thousands of games. Ideally, a new digital storefront would be created for Japanese developers attempting to localize their games for the West. This is the equivalent of adding a single book to a library with 40 different floors.
Those exist and they all suck donkey dicks.
People think Steam does nothing and doesn't add any value for anyone but then you go use digital store + launcher #724 and it fricking blows ontop of the people running them providing even worse support somehow.
I'd never ever heard of Ed-0, so that might be their issue. Also, games are expensive and I can't buy everything. I love Japanese aesthetics, but I'd rather get it from games with good gameplay not mindless musous.
>japan makes games for japan
>westerners love it
>japan makes games for the west
>westerners hate it
Every time
Mass appeal is always trash and the mistake is thinking they can break through to the western normalgay audience without $70m marketing campaigns
Mass appeal isn't mass appeal because they don't know what it's. Censoring your game isn't mass appeal your old remake sold well then how censoring it will make it better. Japs are moronic and cero butt fricked them. Capcom only smart thing is going for Z rating for some of their games.
More like Kishida Fumiko who banned bikini from Jap console game. No Bikini in japanese console game since July 2022. I was betrayed by Japan after Abe's death. I regret to bow on Yasukuni shrine, and being Pro Japan, Anti Korea right winger. Kishida break mah heart by banning bikini from anime and Japanese console game since Abe is assassinated.
Just like how Char Aznable was betrayed by AEUG after Gryps war, AEUG being fallen to slave of Earthling, not fighting for Spancenoid's freedom. Char's despair was same as this.
Things are getting to expensive, i prefer saving most of my money to buy property and enjoy a nice retirement in the neofeudalist future ahead of us rather than spending money on some shitty game i can pirate. I will only buy a game if its really fricking good and i need to have it in some plataform to optimize my comfort (installing mods or some online BS), buy it needs to be really good, after you become an adult with a life the less patience i have to muh games.
It's just another fricking roguelike game. There isn't even any fanservice and the preorder announcement trailer is a bunch of streamers screaming like morons like they always do.
Who the frick is advising them to make this shit?
that's their own fricking problem, perhaps they should start by learning ENGLISH and lurking on vidya forums such as this one
the big Steambucks and global market success are there to be found for those who know what they're doing and get lucky of course
All they need to do is translate the damn games. They can even just use chatgpt and an editor who is semi literate on english.
I've never actually met anyone, in person, from the "west" that's for Censorship and only see morons on tumblr and twitter champion the ideas of being a bootlicking rules following piece of shit.
And I highly fricking doubt you're going to get normalgays caring about booby ninjas. So why not just focus on Japanese and Western fans that actually like booby ninjas? Senran Kagura had several fricking sequels that came out in Yankee land, so clearly they did something right.
yeah wow it's almost like a small amount of insane twitternoids somehow control most of the discourse on the net to the point where they can successfully make people lose their careers and these same people also have a hateboner for anything japanese or remotely sexy
Nothing they scream about in the long run doesn't matter and for some reason people still do what they say, even though those kind of scum make up not even 10% of the entire "Millennial" population or whatever people are griping about.
Goes back to rules following trash. Nobody likes them, everyone has enormous amounts of disdain and outright hatred for "Cancel culture" yet the moment someone is put on the witch hunt they're abandoned. Just stop listening to them for frick sakes.
It's not just twittard that has gone full schizo. Try google on politically incorrect subject like game censorship or anti-censorship and you'll get 99% of the result into supporting the censorship. As such people who opposed them are labelled far right or misogynistic.
>chasing the west
That's another way of saying get woke, go broke. The west doesn't like woke shit either, you dumb nips, you have only yourself to blame.
The game doesn't look that bad, the gameplay seems perfectly fine, but the trailers reminded of goat simulator lol randum, the enemy variety is really poor, and the price, 29.99 for a zombie killing game, same price of RE2R, that is no.
The concept itself is not bad, however, medieval japanese dungeon crawler survivor horror is not a block buster outside of japan, too many niches in a single product, got please the normalgays or the coomers at point, moving the setting to a viking era, medieval europe, or even 17th century europe would have doubled the sales numbers, but I'm speaking to the void devs aren't going to read my posts.
Oh no not shovelware - Japan
Is it chasing the West or is it conforming to the globalists? You're going to get homogenous slop.
The first one
So will the niche/AA Japanese development scene ever heal or will we be eating bugs and living in pods in 2030 so it won't matter anyway?
No because the homosexual consumers over there love mobile gaming too much.
Mobile gaming killed the arcade scene in Japan and it pisses me off that by the time I saveb up enough money to vacation there, I won't even be able to enjoy it.
Meanwhile fricking China is cranking out sandbox rpgs and cultivation shit that is exactly what I've been wanting for years. Now if only they'd start shitting out good sid Meyers Pirates clones I'll be happy forever
Here's some tips from a gaijin to any jap devs reading
>Don't pander to twitteroids
>Don't be afraid to have cute girls
>Be a good game and people WILL come eventually
>Stop taking the sonypill, they hate you homosexuals nowadays
>conversely stop hating the switch just because of nintendo, its where all your fricking audience is these days
>If you DO release on steam, don't fricking people translators or anyone else for that matter frick up your shit
>Give a REASONABLE price not $60 for something that looks like it came from the PS3 era
>conversely stop hating the switch just because of nintendo
But anon, producer-san is still mad that Nintendo didn't switch to discs for the N64 and just will not let that shit go ever.
They avoid nintendo because sony paid countless "dinners" for the important people
>Be a good game and people WILL come eventually
>Give a REASONABLE price not $60 for something that looks like it came from the PS3 era
The vast majority of these niche developers have always used fanservice as a crutch to compensate for the lack of good gameplay and know they can get away with charging full price for the small audience they know they'll attract with that rather than being able to or interested in making good gameplay. They or their publisher don't equate low production budget to appropriately low retail price because they don't think they'd get that many more sales to justify it.
t. owner of many fanservice games
All of this could be summed up as "don't go or be involved with public trading". So where are they going to get money to develop games?
>Releasing some small niche jap game on everything EXCEPT the Switch
Doomed to fail
If forspoken isnt a cautionary tale to nip devs, they deserve it. But, I do unironically believe that they can escape the cultural slump. When they become aware of it like the chinks do, the nips will push woke away. Why? Because woke is literally anti japanese, made upon anti japanese values, and seeks to undermine japanese identity and freedom.
>Chasing The West
The West is currently consuming Jap media like it's the last drop of water in the desert.
The trick is that they can't follow Western trends or they end up making the same kind of shit that is unpopular even here.
That's the worst part. Anime only became popular because it wasnt American standard shit. It was unrestrcted, free, givingnus butts and boobs and glorious jiggles. Unfortunately, they misread their target Western audience completely, no doubt due to twitter's vocal minority. They'd be better if they just solely focused on their domestic audience, because if Japan falls there isnt a media alternative left.
Demon Slayer outsold the entire western comic industry on its own, so I don't understand why that isn't setting a precedence.
>Demon Slayer outsold the entire western comic industry on its own, so I don't understand why that isn't setting a precedence.
Because Nips are super trusting and have all kinds of weird progressives from twitter who came with a degree in japanese language studies seeping into their studios and telling them all kinds of moronic shit and since the japanese are a very high trust society they dont see how any friendly gaijin could ever want to sabotage their shit.
After all - if this gaijin bothered to learn japanese and wants to work in video game development they surely must love video games and have their best interest in mind.
Like they dont factor in at all that 90% of westerners seeping into japan are mentally ill ideologized freaks who'd always chose politics over passion.
Bridget is trans and always has been. gays here are just seething cause they always wanted to suck her dick.
He's a man you mentally deranged axe wounded weirdo.
If Bridget was a man why did she never try dressing like one once?
Are you implying men are supposed to dress a certain way? pretty bigoted of you
I am stating not implying moron. Either way you're a troony lover.
based ESLtard
Says the troony.
????
His clothing are not particulary female and he's literally trying hard to show that he's a man, pic related.
Implying these people know or care. Bridget was always a man and these people just want to claim him as one of them.
Weird how she always wore a skirt.
>nooooooooo you can't le heckin claim i'm a troony lover for liking dicks
lmao you gays are pathetic.
>Weird how she always wore a skirt
He literally always wore shorts.
Just admit you're a homosexual already and save everybody time.
Just admit that you know nothing of Bridget's character.
Bridget was always repulsive homosexual/fujo pandering garbage, so him being repurposed for troons is completely in line with what he was meant to be.
Shit characters stays shit, news at 11.
Says the homosexual.
I am a homosexual. Life would be easier for everyone if troons could just admit to themselves they're homos instead of constructing elaborate gaslighting schemes to make the rest play along with weird lies like having a "girl brain" or dumb shit like that.
You can be a twink and ride that out until twink-death and then become a normal homosexual or go back to straight again instead of this farce that's currently being played.
Get some help man. Fighting these "wars" isn't good for you. Not to mention way to out yourself. He wears shorts.
>Get some help man
IT'S MA'AM
He's literally a man who got groomed into thinking that he's a girl.
His entire character arc before Strive is about becoming manly again.
>always has been
not so fast, revisionist troony
What are some good ecchi games? Preferably games that have both English and 日本語 language options so I can practice my moons
>noone learned that all those dumbass cod ripoff games from the 10s didnt help anyone
>same thing is happening now - but instead of cod it's no sex appeal
the japan gameplay formula sucks which can only be made up with coomer crap - and the reality is take away video games and STILL western media is full of accessible coomer crap (music, movies, tv, pornhub, tiktok). they just need to tune out the noise that arises from kotaku/twitgays and ride it out (eg sfvi cammy's og costume as an alternative)
This should serve as a cautionary tale. Nips need to began catering to their own rather than anti japanese homosexuals
Unfortunately it takes a while to make games nowadays. You'll see more Forspokens on the way yet
Not many Japanese developers are capable of making high-budget open world games. Square Enix is the one who got burned while Capcom has got their western appeal figured out after going through the growing pains earlier on during the 2010s. I don't think Forspoken will have particularly similar cases following it.
Ed-0 didn't sell well because it's trash. You know it's streamer bait when every shot of the trailer includes some influencer reacting to it
And it's trash because they focues too hard on pandering to the west
good, hope they all die or learn
>Zombies in 2023
>Early Access
>Tranime
I can't for the life of me figure out why people didn't line up in droves to buy this!
Anime is out time to Join the Pack
So with the news that Jim is leaving PS and a Jap is replacing him, do you think it's possible the new guy eases up on the JP game restrictions and we start getting proper ecchi games again?
Totoki isn't the next CEO, just an interim.
New PM to allow bikini to Japanese anime and console games. Kishida banned bikini from anime and console games since July 2022...
Should have Koizumi Shinjiro as PM to allow bikini from anime and Jap console game. Not feminsit scum like Kishida Fumiko and Kono Taro.
Nope.
Here's a cool trick. I don't know why JP devs aren't doing this.
1. Take an old game that was really popular. You want an old game because old games had much smaller budget. You want a popular game because they had good gameplay and sold well.
2. Copy that game, but with sexy anime girls.
Guaranteed 100k sales minimum.
Because Kishida banned bikini from Japanese console game in July 2022. Bikini on console game? Tax raise on the company.
I am glad nobody here is in charge of a business.
Japanese gacha are also censoring now. Apple forced Gust to censor feet and the Atelier game is already precensored. Soon there will be no more bikinis in gacha either.
Would FGO have ugly rashguards as "swimsuit" instead of bikini next year, like BA? I thought only Jap gachas can have bikini, while no Korean and Chinese gacha can have bikini. Despite Kishida banned bikini from anime and Jap CS games.
FGO is immune because the Japanese are so utterly obessed with Fate merchandise that not even Sony which owns the rights to FGO won't even touch it. It's their sacred cow.
Actually, FGO had a period where they slowed down on the fanservice, which angered people last year because the summer event had nothing for lewd enjoyers.
They went back to normal this year with Chloe's outfit.
Did Gust not ran to console for more fanservice? No meaning to relase on gacha if they censor pantyshot in gacha. I thought Japanese gacha can have bikini, no Korean and Chinese gacha can.
>and the Atelier game is already precensored
KT started toning down fanservice since Sophie 2.
The latest Ryza game was also censored, pic related.
>Did Gust not ran to console for more fanservice?
That was before they got bought by KT and current KT is trying hard to chase western audience which is why they censored many of their recent games.
*Didn't Gust ran to gacha for more fanservice?
>Didn't Gust ran to gacha for more fanservice?
Nope, they did for money.
Pic related is from the gacha, they fricking censored Totori's pantsu.
I thought Gust running to gacha was to avoid Kishida's censorship. (Not Mel, but Feminist lord.) そのフェミ悪代官増税メガネ野郎が安倍さん亡くなった後、日本のアニメとCSゲームからビキニ禁止させたんじゃ。
Another pic for comparison.
Blame Kishida Fumiko for that too. Who banned bikini from Japanese console game since July 2022, the summer of blood. No bikini in Japanese console game since Abe's death.
Japanese want a piece of that blackrock ESG money. They have unlimited money. No more titty games for you.
More like Kishida banned bikini from Jap console game since July 2022.
Tomino's concern was right. Japanese anime and games will be doomed by ESG, wokism, feminism, LGBT, and Korea and China will take over. Korea and China never care about ESG. they are resillent to wokism,LGBT for having 5000 years of history, having sturdy belief like Deep rooted tree. LoL and Valorant isn't woke because these are Chinese games.
Even Blackrock has had to close some ESG funds because of how toxic it is to profits.
Then it must be Kishida banning bikini from Japanese console game. Proof? No bikini in Japanese CS game since Abe's death. Will Persona 3 reload get swimsuit for Body type B humans(Yukari,Fuuka,Mitsuru) toned down from original?
Anon, they announced that but actually did nothing in that direction.
As far as we're concerned, it was all PR talk.
Ban bikini-schizo
No, I think he's funny
I stopped buying niche japanese games for 3 simple reasons.
>they stopped being exclusive
>translators are getting worse year by year
>they started to censor themselves because of sonys policies
Yeah. Korea censors less than that. Stellar blade will have bikini which Japanese console game got banned by Kishida in summer 2022. No bikini in Japanese console game since July 2022.
Oh for frick sakes, are you the bikini spastic who won't shut the frick up about blue archive?
It reads like a bot lurking for japanese/censorship threads that spams the same images. Pure garbage
True that no Japanese console game had bikini since Abe's death. Even if it is not available on Playstation, like Dokapon remake and DQM3. Kishida banned bikini from Jap CS game after Bloody Summer last year.
What are you talking about?
Jap gacha is free from Kishida's censorship because it is irrelevant EoS landmine according to Nakaido. It is only gacha and only Japanese media where bikini is allowed, Despite Kishida banned bikini from anime and Jap CS games since Abe's death.
>Despite Kishida banned bikini from anime
???
Is it after the summer of blood in 2022?
It's from december 2022.
No bikini in Japanese console game since July 2022. Even if it is not on playstation....
>there can be no bikini in japanese media
>actually just anime and console games
>well only console games
Frick off, moron. I'm not interested in you moving the fricking goalpost with every single fricking post you make. moronic bikini schizo.
It is true that no Japanese console game since July 2022 have bikini because of Kishida Fumiko's censorship.
Except gacha games I guess, considering they are full of bikinis. But let me guess, they don't count and bikinis are banned in anime and games, then I show you an anime with bikinis and you move the goalpost again.
Your issue is how you keep paroting the same thing in a give thread to the point it become grating.
Saying it once in a while with actual sources of your claims is enough.
Also you should beg japanese people to kick that dude in the next election because there's very little people here can do.
* because of Kishida's policy which bans bikini from anime and Japanese console game since summer 2022.
Considering no bikini in Japanese console game since summer 2022 even if it is not on Playstation.
>normal people don't buy animu shit
Consider me shocked.
It's a litteral kusoge, i will buy it during a sale at 5$ tho.
But what about it is supposed to be for western audience ? lol
Which sentences should I add to the filter to stop seeing bikinigay's spergouts? I'd take actual bot posts over his.
Reminder the bikini schizo is trash and must die
Will Persona 3 Reload have these censored? Believe that Sega won't censor unlike Gust. As we can see from Dame dame 8 reviving bikini from Jap console game.
>Sega
>Not taking the most moronic route possible
lol, lmao, rofl even
I wonder if Yukari,Fuuka and Mitsuru's swimsuit will be censored in Reload. Because Kishida banned bikini from Jap console game since July 2022.
Pantsu in their normal outfits are confirmed censored.
However, ratings agency have confirmed the bikini armors outfits so Atlus is pretty schizo on that front.
>so Atlus is pretty schizo on that front.
If only the put in that kind of effort for TMS
And by how it reads, it must be a chinese pleb
Could someone recommend me a good Japanese RTS game?
you either go balls out on the shit you wanna do and don't let anyone get in your ear about the high level concept or you chase popular trends. but even if you chase trends, the game still has to be somewhat presentable. This is not presentable. Ragdolls are a completely shit mechanic that only a few games (like Yakuza) can barely pull off.

I thought Chasing the West was a new studio and I was confused.
