Do you think ArcSys is happy with the Guilty Gear Steam sales? Is Revelator likely?
>had to launch at half price to even attract anyone
Doubtful
>>320712926
Yes but not happy enought to release Revelator day 1 on PC
>Is Revelator likely?
Yes but with a delay
Revelator will happen.
No idea when though. Probably late 2016 or early 2017 with them already being busy porting everything else.
>>320712926
It's probably fine, considering how many refunded because they can't get online and those connection issues.
>inb4 "it works on my machine" bullshit.
>Splitting up BB and GG fags
>BB already dead as fuck
>Central Fiction basically finishing the story
Anyone expecting Arc to shoehorn BB characters into GG
>>320712989
But selling a PC game at 25€ is the equivalent of selling a game for 40€ on console physical for publishers. Same profit margins.
Eh, maybe.
The competitive scene isn't that great on PC.
Fighters usually flourish on console.
But I hope you guys get it. Guilty Gear is such an awesome fighter. Good luck!

>>320713580
Jam is cute
>>320713234
better profit margins actually
the game is already completed and translated so the only people that have to be paid this time around are the people who ported it
there's also no marketing budget, it's selling by word of mouth

>>320713643
ArcSys fucking struck gold with this art style. It's so charming.
Is there a character that doesn't require retarded 1frame links and iad -s / jump cancels to use somewhat effectively here, i'm a beginner but this all seems way too overwhelming and not worth the effort, with sf5 being 2 months away

Is there any character that does? Either way, you don't really need to learn the high-class stuff to stand your own.
>>320714037
Zato is hardcore pressure, though.
>>320714069
Most of the sales are physical. The digital sales are mostly because of sales (which makes it just like PC). I think 90% of all copies sold on consoles are physical when not factoring in massive discounts and digital-only games.
I want to eat a burger off Rammy's brown thighs then motorboat Jackie's butt.
>>320714147
>I think 90% of all copies sold on consoles are physical when not factoring in massive discounts and digital-only games.
Nah. Sony revealed that digital sales are 50% of all sales. Not even Japan is 90% physical, it more like 70%.
Why are there so many waifu characters now?
>>320714596
That figure also includes massive discounts and digital-only games. In its first month of release, a game will have its far majority of sales being physical. Something like 80-90%. And then that ratio is lowered as the digital version is put on sale.

>>320714856
Because Mori infected Daisuke with his waifuism.
>>320713668
Whats the story here?
>>320715245

>>320712926
If you release your game on a platform 3 months before a new version of your game comes out, I don't think you have any grounds to complain about poor sales.
so I told daisuke to add a literal waifu character and he did it the absolute madman ahhaha
>>320714856
> Dizzy, Bridget, Jam, Baiken, ABBA, and I-I-no aren't waifus
> Jack-o, Rammy, and Elph are
You could say Elph maybe, since she's a literal wife-bot, but Jack-O is pretty consistent with guilty gear a designs, and while Rammy is a bit more organic than you'd normally get from GG, she's still decently fitting.
>>320715348
I don't think Revelator damaged sales that much. The game still isn't out on consoles anyways. They should've instead run the discount promotion for longer and tested the online a bit more before releasing it.
>>320712926
Probably did better what they expected. Revelator is likely but I don't think they'll be porting these games until the localized versions come out or after that, so consoles will have an advantage by being able to play the games earlier if they import.
I think Blazblue and Under Night will sell well on Steam too. The latter probably being more dependent on when or if the console update comes out prior.
Melty will probably sell like shit in comparison to everything else.
>>320715590
>localized versions
Revelator comes out everywhere at the same time.
>>320715532
>every female characters are waifus
>>320715665
Way to completely misunderstand. My point is that the new characters, with the possible exception of Elph, are not any "more" waifu than the older female characters of GG.
>>320715662
I was mostly referring to BlazBlue, Under Night, pretty much any other fighting game really.
Xrd is the only exception to anime fighting game localizations taking fucking forever.
>>320715532
>Bridget
>>320712926
I'd say so. That's like a million bucks they wouldn't have got otherwise, and it'll probably sell better once it gets a price cut.
Also, the incremental updates require less resources than the original port, so they might as well release it now they've done the tough work
I heard Europe is still a patch behind. Is that true?
How is it that the game is ported to pc fully updated while the euro version that was already out is still outdated?
>>320715665

>>320716386
Steam has become too saturated with trash. There is too much Early Access and indie games. It overwhelms the actual good games that come out. I preferred it when browser games were in the browser.

No.

All of that toned down in GGXX, where I-no was the main focus. Dizzy didn't do jack shit except unleash her powers when her crew was in trouble.
>>320716606
yeah, the only company that benefits in the current scenario is Valve. And i used to be a fan the way they ran their business too... What a shame.
>>320716572
>not mentioning Testament
Can someone explain to me the lore behind the Valentine "sisters"?
One is a robot and the other is a shark(I think), so how exactly are they related?
>>320716386
well yeah, a lot of people would have bought the game out of principle. Japanese games on Steam aren't uncommon anymore.
>>320716806
they're basically soul copies of sols girlfriend and Justice (which is his girlfriend after she was turned into a gear)
>>320716826
to be honest, if valve kept curating the store as they used to we still would see a lot of japanese games on steam
all we wouldnt have are the mobile ports and indie trash
>>320717004
i'm sure there would be
the success of Dark Souls opened the floodgates
but the point was that since Japanese ports are more common now some people no longer feel like they need to purchase whatever new one comes out in hopes for more
I myself purchased Calamity Trigger and Accent Core with no intent to play them just to help Xrd and future versions get ported
now that it's happening i'll only buy what I actually want to play
>>320717316
There is less commotion when a Japanese game is on Steam. Not as it was a few years ago. Dark Souls managed ot sell two million on PC because it was considered a big fucking deal. And it was an awful port too. Xrd on PC came without much fanfare. And it wasn't really visible since it got overwhelmed by EA games and indieshit.
>>320716783

>>320713210
Bb is the most popular fighting game in arcades and has been for years. It has radio shows, light novels, anime, and sales far higher than gg has ever had. GG has never had the success of BB and never will.
So what is Sol like 100 years old?
>>320717567
>Bb is the most popular fighting game in arcades
Nope
>>320717567
The fighting game is not much popular as the franchise itself.
Arcsys could drop the fighting games at any time and start doing something else with BB and it would still sell like hot cakes because it's that popular in Nippon.
>>320717461
>And it wasn't really visible since it got overwhelmed by EA games and indieshit
I disagree
It got little attention because Arc just dropped the port with a one week lead
just out of fucking nowhere, few people knew it had been leaked by the korean board
the game itself was on the steam front page and top sellers for a while
the reason it isn't selling as well as you think it should might be because of that and the arc cycle (why buy this when it'll be outdated soon)
there were plenty of people asking that in the first week threads for Xrd here
The winter sale is also coming up soon and people may be saving their money for that and whatever cards they might get for making purchases during the sale period
Personally I think the game has sold well so far. Like mentioned before in the thread Arc is pocketing more money per game sold because it's a late port and the game has outsold the previous GG port in a single week. It's clear there's technical support for the game and the actual port is pretty good. The game will no doubt continue to sell.
Some people have mentioned that it has sold on par or near japanese console sales but I won't comment further on that because I don't know those numbers myself.
tl:dr sales are good and Revelator is a matter of when not if
Sold more than the blazblue games (not counting humble bundle sales), so yes
>>320717958
>Some people have mentioned that it has sold on par or near japanese console sales
http://gematsu.com/2014/12/media-create-sales-12114-12714
It's true. They've sold about same in the same time frame. Although in Japan, the game was sold for full price, not to mention merchandise and CE's that Japanese love. So they probably made much more money there.
>the reason it isn't selling as well as you think it should might be because of that and the arc cycle
Honestly, Revelator might be almost a year from now for PC. The Arc cycle shouldn't be a problem since this game actually breaks the Arc cycle. It's the latest game in the series that isn't arcades. There is no excuse to wait several months for a potential upgrade when they're only selling this for like 20€.
>>320716783
>Mentioning Testacuck, the faggot that gives up his life for Justice after getting his shit pushed in by Sol, only to watch her get hammered in turn and then get c-u-c-k-e-d by a a weeping pussy.
There's nothing of note to mention really.
>>320712989
Well they did release it like a year and a half later with basically no advertising, so I'd think these numbers are pretty good.
>>320718551
No wonder he's not in Xrd, he probably hung himself in the forest.
>tfw Raven will replace him with the same moves and playstyle
>>320718186
>So they probably made much more money there.
It isn't a 1:1 situation considering pubs get a smaller cut per physical copy sold than digital and whatever they got from that then had to be divied up to pay for the game development, advertising, and so on. This however is just a port, the work has been done.
although they might have made their money back in arcades who the fuck knows
point is odds are good the port is selling within expectations for Arc
as for the arc cycle WE know it's the most up to date version but the casual player doesn't. I saw plenty of comments shitting on Arc for not porting Revelator instead when the port was announced. Those people aren't even aware that version isn't out on consoles yet. They just know it's the latest version and that's the one they might pay for.
>>320712926
They've publicly said so. Fighting games are a niche market, man and the majority of PC gamers don't only game on PC. It's just their preference. They announced 4 more Steam ports right after Xrd's launch.
I'm also just realizing there's no xbox version of Xrd
PC is higher priority than xbox now
dayum
>>320719038
>PC is higher priority than xbox now
actually doesn't Microsoft have a history of not accepting late ports if the title released on Sony consoles first?
that might actually be it
>>320712926
In surprised it sold as well as it did under the circumstances of its release. Months after the console release, little to no advertising, and I assume most people who like fighting games own a console and would have already owned a copy.
>>320719038
Xbox = Microsoft

Dude GG is the most forgiving and responsive of the fighting games. It's not hard. SFIV is counterintuitive as fuck though.
>>320712926
I'm not sure what their projected outcomes were at all.
I mean, you have to remember it was released the day after it was announced and had no advertising beyond the reveal on some niche sites. They've made no effort to capture the PC audience with their releases and I doubt that's going to change. This isn't the first time they've pulled this and they've released ports out of the blue, like Battle Fantasia. Whatever gameplan they have, only they know.
Are they happy? Probably not until they usurp Capcom as King of the Jews.
>>320719396
In this marketplace 17k was good sales
>>320713574
>>320719431
When you have no money you can't spend money to market.
>>320719184
Xbox is no longer relevant to Japanese publishers. Even PC has better sales for Jap games than Xbone. Not to mention Sony blocking Xbone releases.
>>320719484
It would be good idea to port it as the same times as consoles and ride on the advertising for those
but they probably don't have the money or time to port all three at the same time
>>320719184
Microsoft snubbed the PC market back in like 2002 in order to push Xbox and that trend has only recently been dropped.
>>320719484
Ports aren't cheap.
>>320712926
Even really low PC sales should still be profitable for games that have an arcade version. Arcades are basically PCs, so "porting" it to PC takes minimal effort.
>>320719510
Isn't the current Blazblue game on Xbone?
>>320719626
>Ports aren't cheap.
Arcade ports are as cheap as can be. They just need to integrate it with Steam for netplay.
>>320714856
Now? Do you realize GG's character design was literally a list of fetishes they worked to pander to?
>>320712926

The platform for the games though is MS Windows. The games also use Microsoft DirectX API and now also have inherent compatibility with Microsoft controllers. You're failing to see the bigger picture like you do 99.9% of the time, /v/. Microsoft still wins no matter what happens to the peasants.

when before they kept us in the dark and just suddenly released shit

my point is you'd be retarded to do that. pc users are less retarded than console users
>>320720503

>>320720703
People who claim to play and love GG like to hate on BB because the anime tropes in BB attracted alot of otakus who don't even play the game for the fighting game aspect, which is true to some extent even though GG has the same problem. The GG "vets" don't like their "edgy hardcore" series to be tainted by "otaku moeshit" much like how SMT fans like to shit on Persona fans. I think it's just one big ego stroking at this point.
Though to be fair when BB Calamity Trigger came out, it was promised as the spiritual successor to GG, much like how these new kickstarter games promise people they'd be like their former franchises. Turns out it had lots of problems gameplay wise and was very clunky.
In the end though it's really just petty childish infighting

Has always been since the first street fighter iv.

Bad Rats is more alive than Mortal Kombat X. MK died with whatever the last revision of MK3 there was, and anyone who kept playing after that only played it for the ultraviolence.

The Guilty Bits videos apply to AC and +R so some of the stuff mentioned there doesn't exist in Xrd (anything discussing FRCs being a notable example) but for the most part you can still take away things from each character video and use them to get halfway competent with the Xrd version of that character

MK died because people just watched the fatalities on youtube.

It's actually the best selling fighting game. It's just that the people that buy it are brain-dead and stop playing after a week.
>>320728498
Daily reminder that it didn't magically become the best selling fighting game with 9/X, and the overwhelming majority of those sales come from 1-3, over 20 years ago when the series was actually relevant
>>320728703
So it has decreased in popularity over the years? Because I remember reading that MKX sold like 5 million or so. Meanwhile games like GG barely scratch 500k.
Any Faustbros wanna run some mirror matches? I'm kinda new to GG, but not to fighting games.

That's on PC alone. You mean to tell me that consoles managed to sell roughly 4.5 million compared to PC? I'd like to know your source for it, since a simple Google search won't tell me any sales numbers, and if it actually managed to break 5 million, I'd definitely would have found it
Also, only 12% of that 400~ thousand were still playing it as of two weeks ago on PC, and the PC has the most thriving community for MK X.
Sorry your series is a joke, but there's no need to lie about sales data to make it seem more relevant than it actually is, especially when sales mean nothing.
>>320729623
Isn't the game completely broken on PC?
>>320729970
just room searching is broken

>Mortal Kombat X is still leading the pack of 2015 video games sales, through September, according to a recent Time Warner investor relations statement. While no official numbers were given, the Wall Street Journal claims MKX has sold over 5 million copies so far
I fucking hate MK. It's the CoD of fighting games. Don't presume I like it.
>>320729970
It's broken to the point where during launch (maybe even to this day?), you could unlock all the DLC by changing a few 0's to 1's in a .ini file. NetherRealm even had to fire the literally whos they put in charge of the PC port and replace them with the guys who did SF4AE and Street Fighter X Tekken's PC ports.
Just in case you didn't know this, X Tekken's PC port was so bad, Capcom just left it to die and offers no support for it, and it took them over a year to fix the mess that was SF4AE's netcode for USF4

I absolutely suck at fighting games but I'm interested in GG Sign and hope for Revelator to come to PC in the future.
What is the fighting system similar to?
I found games like Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur and Tekken fairly enjoyable to pick up and play the casual single player but I could not get the hang of pulling off combos in Street Fighter, Virtua fighter and Skullgirls.I even had trouble passing the skullgirls tutorials
>>320731365
give up, just play with friends and feel great at being better than them
>>320731552
>friends
B-but I like playing single player fighting games...
>>320731365
>I found games like Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur and Tekken fairly enjoyable to pick up and play the casual single player
DoA, Soul Calibur, and Tekken are the most casual and easiest to play "fighting games". Skill ceilings are incredibly low, and they focus more on a single player story experience or casual friendly matches than anything else.
>I could not get the hang of pulling off combos in Street Fighter, Virtua fighter and Skullgirls. I even had trouble passing the skullgirls tutorials
If you had trouble passing Skullgirls' tutorial, then you will not pass Guilty Gear's.
>What is the fighting system similar to?
Skullgirls on meth
>>320731859
give up and then feel like a pro because you can beat the cpu in highest difficulty
>>320731365
It's a 2D fighter so it's more similar to Street Fighter than DoA. But it plays not much like SF either. It's very fast. Quite fun once you're past that initial learning curve and can keep up with fast-paced games. Combos are easier than SF.
But the SP in this is just really good tutorials and a story mode that is just a movie. So probably not your thing. Fighting games are meant for multiplayer.
i bought it but i doubt i will be getting much mileage out of it. after doing the tutorial i am already confused by what seems to be a million different mechanics that get dumped on you just like that. with the low playerbase on pc i can already tell that being a newb is going to be even more of a shitrty time than usual
>>320731973
>>320732056
Well ok, thanks for the advice anons. I'll pass on it for now but the gameplay looks neat. When I have time to invest on improving my skills at the game at a later date, I'll pick it up.
>>320712926
>1.2M of revenue.
>Close to 800k after steam takes its cut.
>For a late year old port.
Could be better but I doubt PC will ever become a main platform for them. Maybe something to release to gain quick money and finance their future projects.
>>320731973
Tekken has a low skill floor but a very high ceiling, the oki alone is the most advanced in a fighter. Soul Calibur doesn't have as high a skill ceiling, but it's high enough for competitive depth. DOA, however, is babby shit, that game was made for my boner.
>>320732309
Disregard most of it. The tension trigger should mostly only be used for Faultless defence when you're getting cornered and specials. Focus instead of getting a feel of how characters move and attack. The mechanics will come in itself. There usually is one or two scrub lobbies up.
So I haven't played since #Reload
What's up with the Purple RC?
Are 1 frame jumps still a thing?
>>320730409

You say that like it's a bad thing.
>>320732605

So Guilty Gear Turbo alpha Redemtion Assault Modern Ascend XX 2'?
meh
>>320733136
Well The next GG is coming out on consoles in a few weeks so it is likely that this port was made to make a quick buck and gain some revenue before releasing the new game.
>>320733257
as opposed to a quick buck after the release of a new game.
>>320733257
>in a few weeks
No it's not. In a few months.
>>320733465
The difference is the cost of opportunity and return of investment.
Is more likely that the studio use a really small team to develop the PC port (or outsource it) but then they would rather have them working on the console port because it would make much more money for them there.
>>320733636
They have a really small team to develop the pc port because the game already run on Windows in the first place.
>>320717567
The most popular arcade games are
>Tekken 7
>Gundam Extreme Vs Maxi Boost (amazing game)
>Pokken
>Dragon Ball Zenkai
>USF4
>>320718770
Sol Badguy is such a bro.
>>320732962
Which Steam region has the scrub lobbies?
They probably made profits since it's the PS3 port and barely cost anything to port.
>Unga joins station
>game crashes
>>320712989
Wasn't even half price, that shit was on sale from the get go.
>Not just pirating DRM-Free copies of the games and sending the developer money so they can earn 100% of the profits
Do you all even care about gaming?
>>320732983
Purple RC is what happens if you RC a move in its recovery frames, it's essentially a regular red RC with slightly less time-freeze
Yellow RC happens if you RC a move during startup or when it whiffs entirely (you can also YRC at neutral) and costs 25% meter but has the shortest time-freeze, it's Xrd's replacement for FRC
Some moves also have special effects when YRC'd (Axl's [4]6S turns into a projectile that keeps going if YRC'd, Elphelt's rifle stance resets the cursor back on the opponent's position when YRC'd)
>>320735557
EU. But don't change regions. The lag hits hard if you connect from fucking Asia or NA.
>>320732309
It's true. Even on PC, most people are already way ahead of you. It's a bad time for newcomers all around, to be honest.
Just noticed that Japanese Elphelt system voice pronounced Potemkins name correctly
