Why the fuck is this allowed?
Not if you're a streamer lol. Get fucked
>>331877593
why did NA get Bloodborne before JP?
dunno but i'm loving that new yakuza game that came out in 2015
>>331877593
bandai thinks westerncucks are not important
>>331877695
North America is Sony land. They even have their HQ there.
Because you are a stupid schlong-swallowing cockgoblin who will eat up anything From shits out and you should suffer for it.
Sony always wins baby
They care about their audience
I hate staggered release, that's why I bought it on the Japanese Xbox store so I could play now
this is the 1000th thread that is about the release dates, fucking cry babies i swear
>>331877675
THEY GAVE THE GAME TO EVERY STREAMER AND SOULS CONTENT PRODUCER
EXCEPT FOR 2BEST FRIENDS
WHYYYYY
Fucken'ell, I need my e-celeb Souls fix
>>331877695
It's hard to say, more than likely a call made by Sony. Souls games sell like shit in Japan so Sony might have decided to pander to NA and PAL since 80 percent of sales come from there. This time around From decided to keep the date the same for JP but it appears bamco wanted the april 12th date for the rest of the world, so...
>>331877593
Bamco know they'll get people buying the game twice. It's not hard to understand.
>>331877889
>EXCEPT FOR 2BEST FRIENDS
Well I guess Bamco isn't all bad
>>331877991
>twice
You mean thrice
>>331877593
Memes and everything aside.
Why would they do it? What's the economic advantage over a synchronized release?
>>331877695
>>331877921
It's only one day. It literally makes no difference.
>>331878171
Maybe Bamco doesn't have anything for Q2 so they delayed it to pad out that quarter?
>>331878171
To have streamers build up hype?
Because Sony cares.
For Bamco you are just a bunch of baka gaijins
>>331877889
Maye they didn't ask? Didn't even think about that.
You can get the FULL ENGLISH VERSION on Xbone.
>buy as Jap account
>download as English
Bamco literally fucking everyone over to inflate their sales on paper.
>>331878165
That's not at all how he meant it...
>give in to temptation and watch a DS3 stream for a bit
>guy pumps all souls into Health
>shield equipped but never used
>heavy armor to poise through hits
>mashes light attack and tanks through hits
HE'S NOT EVEN PLAYING IT RIGHT GIVE ME GAME NOW BANDAI FUCK YOU
>>331877593
>make a jp account

Console isn't region locked
>>331878707
Only works for xbots

>North America is Sony land.
Funny when it is Japan that's so heavily Sony biased, 99% of all games are Sony exclusive by their birthright. The only Jap games that don't show up on Sony consoles are games that are paid SPECIFICALLY to not come to their consoles, that's how powerful Sony is in Japan/
>>331877695
NA releases games on Tuesday and JP releases games on Thursday. It's that simple.
>>331877991
>Bamco know they'll get people buying the game twice
From is the publisher in japan why would that affect bamco.
>>331878893
That is a two day difference, not a one day difference.
>>331878761
I could have swore you could buy it off the jp psn store. Ill check later when i get home
Eitherway I can wait the few weeks
>>331878761
>Only works for xbots
The fix was already made idiot. Go look at it now if you made a jap account, you can dl the game again.

Doesn't work
>>331878171
Believe it or not, Japanese importing games for cheap from the west is fairly commonplace. This hurts the domestic sales.
This was the cause of the famous incident where the publisher decided to region-lock the first Persona 4 Arena game on a region-free console.
>>331877593
Just buy the japanese version you baby
>>331877593
It's allowed cause it's their game. I saw someone here post their reasoning was to boost sales in the next fiscal period but didn't have a source.
>>331878761
That's not true at all. NA PS4 can buy off JP PSN
Just tweet Bamco that you're a reviewer and need a review key.
Simple as that.
>>331879246
But is it in English?
Why does every streamer say "we" when talking about accomplishing anything in game.
>>331879323
He didn't say it would be.
>>331879272
No its not. They'll just ignore you if youre a no name.
>>331877593
>One has a pc release.
>One doesn't.
Take one guess why one game needs an extra 3 weeks. Can't possibly do it like DS2 out of fear of pc players crying their eyes out having to wait.

Jap game prices are significantly higher than western games because the west actually has more than one platform to play their games on, thus inciting a price war between the platforms, encouraging lower costs. Meanwhile, Japan only has Playstation consoles to get their games on, thus there is no price war between consoles, and you're seeing the return of price-fixing that Nintendo was accused of decades ago. This is precisely the same reason why Japanese games that get ported to Steam cannot be purchased in Japan, this would drive sales away from the more expensive console versions, so they just outright remove that option.
A monopoly is good for everyone!
>>331877593
Namco publishes the game in the west and wants to make things look good to investors by delaying the game to the new fiscal year.
I never thought i see the day where /v/ hates the Soul series. This board is for children now.
Amerifats get games early all the fucking time. NA got probably the most hyped game of 2015 months before Japan.
>>331879272
Lmao, if that right hook wasnt so solid, i would think that fight was fake. That kid's kicks were atrocious hahaha
>>331878705
>"playing it wrong" meme
Wow, it's been a while since this popped up
Has no one leaked the game yet? There were some anons yesterday saying they were working on it.
>>331877889
Not even Bamco is stupid enough to consider Snailborne as desirable advertisement.
>>331879996
yeah gimmie 2 hours.
>>331879610
mate this all began wayy back when dark souls was ported to pc, thats when all the shitposting started
>>331879272
Whitebois literally can't compete
>>331880108
you mean ANNOUNCED for pc. i remember the days of 'sour grapes', dark souls was THE 'sour grapes' game
>>331877593
>not importing
top keked
Is there a PC JP version available?
>>331881275
Yeah, on April 12th.
>>331881275
nope, same release as worldwide

>Cares about their costumers
>Scamco
>WHITU PIGGU GO HOMU
>>331877593
I wish SJWs would start calling this racism, or at least nationalism. Maybe do something positive for gaming instead of creating strawman arguments about how they think women are being portrayed.

YOU DIED LIKE A BITCH
