Reminder this is made-up youtuber bullshit. God Hand made a profit because it was so cheap to make and was always a small passion project with Mikami knowing the doors would soon be closing on Clover.

The flop was Okami, which was a money sink and nobody bought.
Okami is also a beloved classic, got a sequel, and has been re-released multiple times. Clover being a dud factory didn't really help. VJ did fine, PN03 flopped, VJ spin-offs and sequels did much worse than original, Okami ate up all their remaining resources, GH being a shoestring budget helped it immensely.
It's better this way. I'd rather GH stay the way it is than have a flood of zoomers, youtubers, and general secondaries shit it up like MGR, DMC, Bayonetta, pretty much e ery classic action game besides NG but even that's on borrowed time with the upcoming remake.
Except the difference is there's no remake or re-release. The people who watch these clowns aren't the same people who emulate or buy/own older consoles and games. They watch these videos to be "informed" about in-jokes, not the game itself. Before sseth there was super rocket jump? Core A? Someone mildly popular did a GH video that brought attention about it, but same as now, less than 1% of viewers actually play it.

Ganker was the only place that played GH back in the day.
I chalk that up to a lot of Ganker being really young. I was 20 when it came out and even though I didn't play it on release (no one did according to the sales), tons of people my age who played basically anything with the Capcom logo on it played it in emulation later.
Unironically because most people refuse to pirate games. Either because they're moralgays who think it's wrong, or they're too lazy to set up an emulator. And I say pirating specifically because no one actually bought the game,
That can't really be helped due to the age of the game. It's a PS2 game from 2006 so you only have 3 options >you get an actual PS2 and what will probably be a very expensive copy of the game, on top of a CRT to play it on
If you aren't the guys on /vr/ obsessed with playing things the original way, you won't do this >get the digital PS3 copy
Possible, but apparently hooking back up your PS3 is too much of a hassle for most people >Emulate it
As other have said, most people don't emulate
Even if the game got rereleased it would flop again because it isn't actually fun to play. See also The Wonderful 101.

Well that I disagree on, it's a lot of fun to play once you actually understand how the combat works and see what moves combo well into what.

The only time God Hand isn't fun is when you try to do a KMS run on Hard.
It is legitimately the hardest most skill intensive game I've ever played. I beat the second Elvis fight and then my sister sold my ps3. I loved getting better at it though. Felt like a beast when all the shit came together.
God Hand is shit.
Reminder that the game catastrophically flopped, caused Capcom to cut off the studio entirely and intensely shamed the director.

why does Ganker hate this game so much
Because it sucks and has a faker fanbase than Earthbound.
>faker fanbase than Earthbound.
what, explain
Game gets tons of praise but nobody actually plays it.
ah yes, ye good ol' "dude trust me".

GH is already the secondary "favorite".

People play earthbound are you moronic? I've played through it twice and I'm not even a "fan" though I do think it and mother 3 are fun games

90% of Ganker sucks ass or never bother playing the game so they hate
It is legitimately the hardest most skill intensive game I've ever played. I beat the second Elvis fight and then my sister sold my ps3. I loved getting better at it though. Felt like a beast when all the shit came together.
Ganker became the casuals
hipster game
>game is bad cause some zoomer played it
So this is the power of Ganker
unironically zoomers ruin evrything they discover
I got God Hand because the cashier didn't sell me God of War 2 because I was 16 or 17 at the time, got the better game.
