Are you ready for Giantbomb's review?
>>332416005
Why is everyone suddenly reviewing a non localized game? They never did before.
>>332416151
Jeff Quick looks non localized games all the time.
>>332416151
For the views and the controversy.
And so they can call it shit to sound like good people, which is hardly fair because of course it's shit.
>>332416005
Only one who could do it justice would be Jeff, everyone else would focus on how problematic it is while Jeff goes either "it's fun" or "it's simply not a good video game"
>>332416847
Past Jeff maybe, not sure about now.
>Uuuuh this shit is kinda creepy (laughs)
>yeeeeeah I don't know whats up with this
>*plays the game for 40 minutes while ridiculing it*
There.
>>332416847
I hope Jason's going to be there, and not somebody like Brad or Dan. Jeff seems like he's more "PC" now, and will probably lean towards whoever's with him. Jason does not give a fuck about weird anime tiddies.
>>332416151
Jeff is a fucking weebcuck when it comes to dumb japanese games.
>>332417029
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_UgATKBKuw
So what's the betting that even if he gave legit complaints and score to match people will just swat it aside and call him a SJW cuck and other such shit.
>>332417029
but that's every quicklook
>>332417319
>call him a SJW cuck and other such shit
But he is.
The whole site is.
And the only reason it's being "reviewed" is to generate dat clickb8 money.
>>332416005
>buy game on play asia.
>its still not shipped yet despite having the more expensive delivery option.
yeah im going to email them to cancel it.
>>332417029
That's what Broteam did.
Can't wait for another SJW cuck to review the game to please his hambeast overlords.
It's funny how obsessed these journalists are with DoAX3 when they never ever review imported games otherwise. Almost like there was an agenda behind it...
>>332417534
Where are you? Try VGP, it has a cheaper base price and way cheaper postage from there.
why are people on this board treating this fanservice tittyshow like it's a good game? the DOA island games have always been trash unless you're looking to get off.
>>332417789
Better question is why this board obsess so much over what the failures of human beings at Giantbomb say.
>>332417786
>VGP
because I pre-ordered it like months ago and its still not shipped.
>>332417092
What ifDan and Jason reviewing it?
>>332417534
I ordered mine on the 23rd and it JUST shipped at two in the morning, expected to get here tomorrow.
>>332417724
they review it because dumb shits like you just cant help but click on the video
>>332417910
I think I remember Jeff specifically saying he'd do it, but now I'm not so sure.
That would be great though, most already dismiss Dan's opinion, but Jason would just say he's a retard probably.
>>332416005
Can't wait for everyone to get mad over them for having an opinion
>>332417649
I've only watched broteam in small doses, i think it's for the best, that laugh though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6t9g5p094g
>>332417956
I don't. Just like Destructoid and Polygon, Giant Bomb is just looking to score some easy SJW cred points. It's become fairly transparent by now.
Also, time to sage this thread for another Giantbomb shill thread. And if it's clickbait as you say, we should remove Giant Bomb threads from /v/.
>>332416151
Giant Bomb does this sometimes. They've been quick looking Japanese arcade titles.
Not to mention the time Jeff showed off that great game where you shoot girls clothes off.
>It's an e=celeb thread
Pathetic. Just hurry up and post Marie Rose lewds.
>>332418118
Can't wait for these SJW sellouts to review a game not even sold in the US for the sole purpose of shitting on it and appear cool on Twitter.
>>332418264
Report this thread. GB is just looking for easy PR. It's shilling by now. The Marie Rose threads are already posted in other threads.
>>332418217
They've never reviewed them. But quick look isn't enough when you want to run a smear campaign.
>>332417789
Because it shows those SJWs or some shit. Also to justify that they've potentially spent a decent amount of dosh importing for a shit game.
Doesn't it have ton of shit stripped from it that past games had too? I'd say that's a bigger problem than it not coming to the west.
This could be the best thing ever or the worst thing ever.
If Dan is in it, it's gonna fucking suck.
>Wow, these sure are some anime ladies
>Uuuuh so people masturbate to this, right? Uhuhuhuhuhuh. Is that a thing they do?
>THIS GIRL IS COOL, SHE'S AMERICAN!!!! YEAH!!! I LOVE AMERICA LOL!
>mfw
>>332418431
>implying DoAX wasn't popular long before SJWs were even a thing
You have no idea what your faggot mouth is even saying.
>>332418270
Yeah, that sounds really horrible if you dropped $50+ on this shit thinking it would be good
>>332418351
>They've never reviewed them
I seriously doubt they're gonna review this game. They haven't said or implied that at all. That was just OP using hyperbole.
We'll get a funny video out of it, probably. Unless >>332418471
>>332418529
Did I say it wasn't fucking popular?
Go in show me where I said that.
>>332417094
>Jeff buys the bikini pack for the Nitroplus game
Too moe
>>332418727
Do you think people like games that are shit? Are you fucking brain dead?
>>332418727
Yes you were implying that cocksucker
>Because it shows those SJWs or some shit
Faggot needs to take the dicks from his face.
>>332418529
>DoAX
>popular
i'd love to see some numbers to back this up, particularly for the western market.
>>332418471
>What does "sunder" mean? You know that anime word.
>>332418928
So popular = a good game
By this logic any and ALL music on the radio is fucking 10/10 go buy an album.
>>332418961
And that still doesn't say it's not popular.
>>332419349
You were arguing that people were buying DoAX3 because SJWs, without even knowing that DoAX has had a fanbase since 2005. Keep play dumb faggot. Everyone can see through you.
>>332419180
You always wait until 3 sunder before hitting on the girl.
>>332419241
i hope you're not trying to prove something's popular by showing an importer has sold out of 2 editions of a particular game. importer distribution numbers are small time compared to mass market distribution.
some numbers for the other games would be more indicative of the game's popularity.
When will Giant Bomb shills leave 4chan? Your site is shit. Fuck off.
Can't wait for Jason to say how "gross" and "icky" this game is. And for neo-Jeff to agree
The "game" part is obviously shitbut I've still gotten off to all of them numerous times and I've never owned them.
>>332416847
He'll say what he did on the podcast a couple months ago when all of the faggots where going apeshit over whole localization ordeal. He'll say it's a bad game especially when compared to the first game which was a decent volleyball game. And that people should strive for better video game porn because it's not very good at that either.
>>332419660
Yeah, Jeff is cool, but if they put in a cuck like Dan, then the conversation is basically gonna shift towards "This is so problematic"
Or god forbid, fucking Danny comes in. That would be the worst shit ever.
>>332419446
Oh for fuck sake.
I knew it had a fanbase. It's OBVIOUSLY going to have a fanbase when the series has multiple fucking games.
But this is how half of /v/ arguments go down isn't it though? Put words in your opponents mouth.
>>332418471
>>THIS GIRL IS COOL, SHE'S AMERICAN!!!! YEAH!!! I LOVE AMERICA LOL!
Tina isn't in the game.
>>332419863
>I knew I was spouting shit but it's ok since I'm on 4chan xD
Stop posting cancer
>>332419504
If I had real numbers, I'd show 'em to you. Best I got.
>>332416151
It's a chance to shit on a game promoting the boys only club and shitlords. It's free brownie points and they get to appear openminded by going through the pains of importing a game.
Why wouldn't they?
>>332419851
I don't think I've ever heard Dan say "problematic." He'll probably just act stupid and do his "Lol is this anime, Jeff?" "What does senpai mean?" shit. Or be grossed out like during that anime girl picture taking game(the name escapes me right now)
>>332420243
He won't use fancy words no, but he would steer the conversation towards that. Probably by saying "weird" a lot, making grossed out noises, etc.
>>332420243
Photokano?
>>332420052
Thanks for proving my point i guess.
>>332420243
Yeah, he doesn't use the word, but he uses weird and is gonna act like a dipshit in general. Like he always does.
>>332419504
It's been confirmed by play-asia that DoAX is their best to date seller.
http://www.dualshockers.com/2016/03/29/ps4ps-vita-exclusive-dead-or-alive-xtreme-3-breaks-sales-record-at-play-asia/
koei probably got 10x profit out of this dumb minigame
>>332420178
fair enough. i was always under the impression the DoAX were fairly niche products - it's just a guess on my part though but i just can't see something like this shifting even a 100k units in the west.
i also thought that the DoA mainline games were declining in popularity in general, leading me to think that a new release in a spinoff series would also be less popular as a result.
nothing wrong with being a niche product but i'd be hesitant to call these 'popular', personally at least until someone showed me some numbers. there's some unsourced numbers over at vgchartz but >vgchartz
Why do you fags obsess what these failed cucks think anyway?
>>332416151
Because they are hypocrites that say playasia and KT are fishing for controversy and sales but then go ahead and play/review the game for controversy and clicks anyway even though the game will never be localized.
>>332420617
More niche games are routinely localized by other companies that go on and sell less than 100k. That said, I would not call DoAX popular either, and it's not too far out to believe that KT just wanted to skip out on localizing for western release when they could juts get people to buy the Asian version.
Speaking of niche, when do you reckon does a game goes from niche to mainstream?
Like I've seen people here saying to say Souls is still niche but I'd say that shit is easily mainstream now. Maybe back in Demon Souls it was niche?
>>332416151
Clicks.
They can make an article about being a pervert and avoiding it at all costs. That you should laugh at people buying it.
>Thinking it will be anything other than Jeff going "This is a creepy game for sickos and also the game plays like shit" and everyone else harping on how gross it is that they made a game about boobies
If we're lucky Jason will get a word in edgewise defending it but I doubt it
>>332421669
>Implying Jeff isn't all for sickos
>>332421669
Jeff's probably going to criticize the game for not being a good video game and not allowing you to do more things to the DOAgirls.
He'll probably say something like, "fans should demand for more in these types of games."
>>332421106
>and it's not too far out to believe that KT just wanted to skip out on localizing for western release when they could juts get people to buy the Asian version.
probably. i'm sure the decision not to localise is a financial one. who knows what their distribution and localisation costs are like - i imagine they could have made a slim profit if they did a digi only release but again, i'm assuming that slim profit would be largely irrelevant to their bottom line.
>>332421491
demon's skirts the line imo. it had a sub top 10 launch selling <150k (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=26079) but within a year it had qualified for sony's red label which means it sold ~500k. i'd say it stopped being a niche product by then. not hugely popular by any means but well beyond just niche imo.
the rest of the souls games don't get halo 2/3 numbers but are mainstream products as far as i'm concerned.
>>332422382
that should be:
>~150k*
>>332422365
He wouldn't be wrong, I honestly think its stupid that they don't include all the girls at least.
>>332421106
>and it's not too far out to believe that KT just wanted to skip out on localizing for western release when they could juts get people to buy the Asian version.
They brought Arslan.
>>332422709
It's a budget title and they have to adapt all the swimsuits to all the girls.
DOAX2 also had 9 girls.
>>332416005
Don't really care since I already bought, had fun for about 20 hours, fapped a few times, and sold it to a friend for $30.
>>332416151
I saw some people reviewing j-start some time ago
>>332416151
These guys also reviewed Puyo Puyo Tetris.
>>332423443
Do people not know what the word "review" means anymore?
>>332424281
Obviously it means giving something a numerical score.I was just pretending to be retarded, it means explaining the game and assessing it, offering their opinion of the quality. Which they did multiple times across several videos and podcasts.
>>332424510
It needs to be "careful" though. A quick look is the opposite of "careful", it's quick. Not to mention that they have a separate system for reviews that do explore the game carefully instead of quickly.
>>332424741
I think their opinion of PPT will be far more careful and heavily considered than their opinion of Booby Volleyball 3 will be.
>>332425665
Okay?
>>332425709
So you accept you can review something without attaching shiny stars to it?
>>332425874
No, what makes you think that?
>>332425914
You said reviews had to be careful and considered.
Shortly after release they gave MGSV a 5/5 score.
By the time their GOTY discussion came around they had all taken more time to consider the game and none of them enjoyed it any more. Drew actively disliked it. That isn't reflected in their formal review but it is how they review the game if you listen to their words rather than the numbers.
>>332426138
Okay? Did you forget to post the part that matters or something, because right now it's about as irrelevant as >>332425665 was.
>>332426310
Well the original statement that started this dumb argument was "Do you know what review means?" and it seems you think review means "A number between one and five."
>>332426453
>and it seems you think review means "A number between one and five."
>>332425914
This post still applies you know, considering you didn't post anything to counter it it's weird to just dismiss it.
>>332426530
The only difference between their
>>332424741
>separate system for reviews
and their other content is the five star rating.
They are the same people who give the same opinions and information in other formats than their reviews.
They hardly do reviews often and don't give them much weight themselves, they don't see them a useful or important part of their site.
I don't know why you think reviews are more informative than the other content.
>>332426851
>The only difference between their
>>>332424741(You)
>>separate system for reviews

>>They are the same people who give the same opinions and information in other formats than their reviews.
No. Their reviews explore the game more carefully than their quick "quick looks". It's in the name, and I already said this. Learn to read.
>>332426851
>I don't know why you think reviews are more informative than the other content.
One explores the game as much as they can in 40~minutes, generally at the start or a particularly general mission. The other reviews the whole game, and more aspects in some cases.
>>332427132
PPT wasn't just in a quick look, it was heavily covered over multiple podcast weeks and their Friday shows too. It got far more coverage than plenty of their formal reviews.
>>332416151
Clickbait.
>>332427425
Okay?
>>332427532
Which means they explored the game more carefully than their quick "quick looks". They didn't explore the game in 40 minutes but rather reviewed the whole game (bar the story, none of them know Japanese).
>>332427731
>Which means they explored the game more carefully than their quick "quick looks".
Not necessarily, but okay.
>They didn't explore the game in 40 minutes but rather reviewed the whole game (bar the story, none of them know Japanese).
That seems like an assumption.
This also seems mostly irrelevant, again.
Are you going to post some relevant shit, or is this conversation fucking doomed?
>>332427854
>is this conversation fucking doomed?
It was pointless from the start.
>Not necessarily, but okay.
This is my sentiment towards your thoughts about formal reviews. They are not necessarily more informative.
>an assumption
Listen for yourself, don't let me tell you anything: http://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/download/1122/Giant_Bombcast_01_13_2015-01-13-2015-6568493044.mp3
>>332428439
>They are not necessarily more informative.
You really did not understand a fucking word of what I said.
>Listen for yourself, don't let me tell you anything:
Yeah, sure, let me just sift through this fucking 3 hour podcast to determine how carefully they examined the games.
>>332428631
>You really did not understand a fucking word of what I said.
I guess not.
>Yeah, sure, let me just sift through this fucking 3 hour podcast to determine how carefully they examined the games.
If you don't want to then just accept my so called assumption, I'm proving you with the source.
>>332428843
>If you don't want to then just accept my so called assumption
There's no reason to do that without a source.
>I'm proving you with the source.
You ain't proving shit, and putting up a link for 3 hours is about as good as just linking giantbomb.com. It's not a "source".
Considering you admit you didn't understand shit, I highly doubt your source is relevant anyway.
>>332418176
The main crew lives in SF. It was only a matter of time.
>>332416005
So Jeff can say the following to his wife. "Look honey, look what I think. Aren't I progressive giving this game a 1/5?"
>>332416151
BECAUSE IT'LL BRING IN THE MONEY. WHY THE FUCK ELSE?
How are there people still claiming that DoAX3 wasn't pulled because of SJWs when we have someone from the company saying it was, Play Asia saying it was, and confirmation from the Star Ocean 5 interview that Japanese companies do modify their behaviour in response to SJWs? How many more times does this need to happen before they stop trotting out this defense?
