Why didn't you buy their game /v/?
Why is it sold out everywhere in Japan then?
>game exclusively about hot girls
>doesn't have Christie or Lisa, the two hottest characters in the franchise
They fucked up royally.
>>332515231
Those are some weak numbers
>>332515272
Small quantities shipped.
>>332515231
Isn't that worse than Senran Kagura? Wow.
>>332515231
>make boring ass softcore porn game with no content
>sells badly
who would've thought
they should stop taking half measures and just make an eroge already
I bet they're wishing they had kept it low budget. Oh wait.
>>332515272
Tiny quantities shipped and even then that is still atrocious sales. It sold maybe 3,000 more than Street Fighter V did on opening week.
This game is budget as fuck, I'm sure Tecmo wont need to sell too many copies to make money

>>332515231
Hahahaha. The big winner here is Playasia for milking the money from /v/ on their ruse.
>>332515231
Because the game seems really shitty. I understand why people got mad at Jed Whittaker for that review, but most of the shit he was wrote made sense.
Shit character models, reused assets, less content than previous Xtreme games, and tedious grindfest. I'd rather just rub one off to porn than throw money down the drain importing this game.
Isn't that pretty good for DOAX?
Didn't the previous games sell around 200k?
>>332515576
This, they announced that Sexy Volleyball 3 broke all their previous sales records.
>>332515557
>Splatoon is still on the top-selling chart nearly a year later
What happened to 'Nintendo is doomed'?
>>332515350
This.
>make pretty much porn game
>leave 90% of the interesting cast out of it
>>332515272
because it panders to pedos and weaboos but no one else. The game needs *at least* Tina, Lisa, Christie and Helena to sell outside Japan.
I want Honkers to flop on me
>>332515557
It sold nearly as much as the new Miku game, which is huge in Japan and far more expensive to make. Seems like a success to me. The game reuses assets for everything and is extremely low budget. I don't know why you retards think every game needs to pull in AAA numbers.
Xtreme 2 sold 46,307 on 360, so these sales are about how much Tecmo expected, given that they shipped so few copies and they're reportedly sold out.
>>332515556
Not to mention all the DLC they plan to sell for it.
Why play this when you can just look at porn?
>it still outsold the Day of the Tentacle remake
>>332515773
Why play video games when you could be thinking of ways to kill yourself?
>>332515628
The character models are great, and it's only a grind fest if you are shit at the game. It's very easy to make money in the game. Jed's a dipshit.
Releasing at the same time as ..
- Dark Souls 3
- Hatsune Miku X
- DQ Monsters 3
Gee, I wonder why.
>>332515773
Why play an FPS when you can watch an action movie?
You think this means they'll make a cheap PC port to at least sell some more copies?
>>332515810
It's nice seeing 3.3 million dollar man get beaten
>>332515874
Yes, they'll port it to PC so everyone can pirate it.
>>332515557
>Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X <ACT> (Sega) {2016.03.24} (¥6.990) - 69.438
that's considerably worse than F and F 2nd which sold 100k+ on their first week
I'm not going to begrudge anyone for buying this, but I'm not spending $60 to simply have my cock teased.
>>332515231
>porn game without porn, gameplay and content flopped
Wow, really? It's almost like DOAX is a trash series... Oh wait.
>>332516016
F and f 2nd were also on ps3 while X is vita only right now
I can't imagine anyone expected this game to sell much more than 50k, so I think its done okay.
I would guess the previous games in this series also sell similar numbers.
>>332516027
Yeah I might get it on sale but $60 is a bit too much.
Just to let you know guys, this is only Japan physical sales.
cause DOA is garbage fighting game literally not about fighting and just doing shit you can do with 3d hentai games
>>332516203
Yeah PA's numbers wouldn't be included in this
>>332516207
Too obvious.
Are SJWs still pretending digital sales and Asian region sales do not exist?
>>332516203
You mean it's coming over despite them saying they will never port it over due to the so-called SJW menace?
>>332516113

Handheld version has always got higher sales so I doubt PS4 is going to do much better
>>332516203
I'm sure asia version sold more due to english.
No western release on ps4 or at least steam no buy.
>>332516313
And this was for >>332516091
>doesn't include digital sales
>doesn't include Asia sales
HA HA NERDS BLOWN OUT AGAIN AM I RIGHT FELLOW COOL GUYS?!
>>332516298
No, he means that the Asian version with English subs that the majority of people bought aren't included in that sales data. It's only for the Japanese version, which is separate from the Asian one.
>>332516393
>>332516313
Maybe Miku's popularity is declining. The way the director for Future Tone was talking about how it's going to be a game for the fans makes it sound like Miku's time might be running out.
>>332516418
Doesn't include small retailers either. It's basically guesswork.
>people really think Tecmo expect japanese Final Faggotry number sales for a DOAX game
lfmao, they know the game will only get bought by a special audience, thats why they dont ship it.
Its like expecting glasses/contacts selling big in a country were everyone has perfect sight.
>package is in the country
>can finally track it
>>332516484
>It's only for the Japanese version, which is separate from the Asian one.
Also, only physical.
I don't think DOAX3 is the kind of game many people will buy in person.
>>332516529
ship many ex*
>>332515557
So in other words, it did pretty alright, especially for a niche game?
>>332515231
>don't release the game in the west
>be scared of sjw as weeb
>>332515231
No content, no buy.
I would have been tempted with a good volleyball arcade mode and online features.
>>332516495
It's more likely because they release a new game every year with minimal updates beyond the song list. Over-saturating the market leads to less sales.
Maybe because everyone bought Asian version and not Japanese, because only Asian has English subs?
>>332516542
>I don't think DOAX3 is the kind of game many people will buy in person.
This is Japan. People will show up in person to buy eroge. I don't know why you're trying to imply digital sales will be significantly more.
>>332515231
But I did.
It sold out everywhere. They didn't make many copies because they knew it was a niche game. That's a large part of why it wasn't released in the west to begin with along with fears of criticism.
It's like everyone forgot that this game was going to never exist up until they finally said if fans kept asking for it and bought the swimsuit DLC that they would reconsider.
>>332516671
True that's how Rockband and Guitar Hero died.
>>332516484
>Implying they're not going to do an actual port and the eventual dlc to double-dip their profits
But let's be honest here. Even if this game breaks their previous sales record, the fact that most of the fanbase had said the game is shit, even by DOAX standard, doesn't bode well for the franchise as a whole. You are purposely buying a shit game. No one is going to congratulate you on sticking it to the SJW, they'll just call you an idiot for not just paying money for a game, but for a shit game.
>>332516761
This.
I'm a Japanese man and I never leave my house without my dakimakura.
>>332515231
>flop
>top 4 in sales
Okay.
>>332516746
This, sales tracking doesn't include neither Asian version nor digital sales
>>332515750
Because on /v/, you don't win, ever. You can't win. Ever.
>game doesn't sell = it flopped.
>game sells average = it flopped
>game sells competatively = it flopped
>game sells pretty well = it double secret probation flopped
>game sells millions = ONLY NORMIE SHITTERS BOUGHT IT THEY DON'T COUNT AS SALES
>>332516016
I imagine Dark Souls cut into the sales a lot.
>>332516787
Isn't this the same excuse Nintentoddlers used for Fatal Frame but /v/ still said otherwise? So it's alright when KT, Sony and Playasia does it?
if you followed sales data at all you would know that's actually decent first week sales for japan.
but uou don't know SHIT about video games so carry on.
>>332516856
Not to mention the Vita version is placed 6th.
For a softcore porn game that's actually pretty good. And the chart doesn't even include downloads and Asia sales.
>>332515773
In Japan, porn is less revealing than DoAX due to censorship.
In China, Korea, and Hong Kong: porn is illegal.
>>332516994
You're trying to compare Japanese sales with world wide sales you dumb fuck
>game added nothing but microtransactions and a single QTE minigame to already existing games
>sold poorly
it's still pure profit, thanks gamergoobers
>>332516994
What does Play Asia have to do with the number of copies manufactured?
Fatal Frame was another niche game that didn't get many copies, but western games get copies based on pre-orders. The east isn't as pre-order heavy and usually prints what they expect to sell.
Which is why Japan gets so many bargains on games a few months later. They tend to overprint.
>>332515272
they printed very few copies
>>332515231
Because they're idiots who didn't release the game in the West. They can say what they want about SJWs, but at the end of the day they're contributing the problem. I'm not jumping through any hoops to play this mediocre as fuck game, but I would have supported them if they grew some balls and released it in burgerland. Got 2 copies of SKEV for PS4, and Vita.
>>332517045
not illegal to watch porn, just make porn/run a porn website etc.
China, Korea, Hong Kong and all other asian countries that ban porn making are just filled with men that are insecure faggots who dont want "their women/daughter"s to lose their "purity" and work in porn when they probably have a 50TB hardrive filled with JAV at home.
>>332516816
The fans who actually played it have been pretty positive about. It's far better than 2 and Paradise, and arguably better than the original. I didn't buy the game to stick it to any particular group. That being said, it's obvious by your post you're an SJW yourself and don't belong here. Return to neogaf or whatever other shithole you came from.
>>332517161
Why are people so upset about the same? You can get everything in this game in a week without buying tickets. The tickets are literally just a way to cash in on people that suck at volleyball.
>>332516761
>People will show up in person to buy eroge.
SJWs told me japanese males never leave their house.
Which one is it?
>>332517156
No, I'm trying to say when a niche series doesn't sell AAA sales, it does not mean it is a flop.
>>332517293
>you can buy all your own swimsuits for yourself in a week
you clearly haven't played a DOAX game before
>>332516495
1] The games are less innovative than DDR.
2] Miku is fading from the spotlight. You can gauge it by the fanart coming out for her on pixiv, which has slowed down DRASTICALLY.
>>332517293
They haven't played the game and are just parroting that shitty Destructoid review written by a casual that, you guessed it, sucked at the volleyball.
>>332517290
Anon pls. This iteration is a travesty when compared to the previous DOAX games. It's boring, repetitive, cut content repackaged as DLC, and quite frankly, not very stimulating.
>>332516484
not to mention japs would buy the asian version too if they weren't fucking retarded
it's cheaper and is in japanese anyways
>>332517432
He's right though. If anyone hasn't played the series it's you.
>>332515231
Gee Louise, maybe because THIS GAME WASN'T RELEASED HERE?
And sorry, I'm not going to pay like twice its worth to cover for the shipping
>>332516530
>can finally track it
how
>>332515272
"Sold out" is no real indicator of sales. If there are 10,000 stores and each store only gets three copies, then "sold out" would imply it sold well, but the actual numbers means it only sold 30k copies, which isn't good.
>>332515231
Does it include the digital sale or is it retail only?
>>332517583
the greentext was you being retarded if you think that's all there is to the game, not that it's wrong
>>332517665
If they only shipped a few copies that just means they weren't expecting that many sales to begin with and if they sold out then that means that their expectations were met and that's all that matters really.
>>332517767
retail only, digital sales info are rarely ever released
>>332515717
Seriously, how hard would it have been to put DOA's entire female roster in the game?
And don't tell me they're saving them for DLC. They're not in the game because the fans didn't vote for them, so they're all also the worst candidates to have set aside for DLC.
>>332515231
http://nichegamer.com/2016/03/29/dead-alive-xtreme-3-broken-previous-sales-record-play-asia/
Nice try
>>332517841
>i can't tell the difference between Japanese and Asian
i hope you're retarded enough to have bought the JP one too.
well seems about right, playasia would have more accurate pedophile numbers though
>>332517825
They'll likely only release the characters that were almost in the top 9
>>332517815
>retail only, digital sales info are rarely ever released
I've heard digital is getting big in Japan so I wanted those number.
Thanks anyway.
>>332517767
Also, Japan-only.
No asian edition numbers.
>>332517665
How are you supposed to sell better than 100% of copies distributed?
>>332517841
Careful anon, you wouldn't want to be one of those goofygobblers, would you?
>>332517971
Unless the publishers themselves say the numbers in some interview or statement you'll likely never hear it.
>>332517980
They also don't cover online purchase from Amazon, Amiami, and various other online stores for some reason its just stores.
Also
>Implying anything can top DQ
>>332515231
These games never sell. Pretty sure the controversy was drummed up to gain interest. Looks it didn't work.
>>332517768
Nobody said it was. All I'm saying is the game isn't a grindfest like uninformed people are claiming, and the microtransactions aren't at all necessary.
>>332517665
It shows there's demand. And not being enough for everyone increases demand. I'm not saying it's going to compete with huge titles though.
>>332517935
>stating it flopped after Jap sales and that it's your fault because you didn't buy Jap version, even though Asian version is the one with English subs
Well, who is?
>all previous games sold the most in the west
>new game goes import only
>importer breaks sales numbers
who could have seen this coming
>Status: Arrival at Destination Post
now what
Streaming this rushed pos killed the hype, only otakushits and weebshits buy this game, enlightened japanese patricians are bashing this pos on amazon, literally dox2 with a step forward in graphics and a step backwards with everything else
>>332515231
I want to be honest. I've never posted anything in threads about this game because you guys are really crazy when it comes to the SJW boogeyman.
Frankly, I don't see the appeal. Sure, the chicks are good looking and boner inducing, how can anyone deny it? But the "game" doesn't offer me anything besides that. It a compilation of minigames, pretty boring ones as well. I love me some fanservice in a game but I also expect, you know, to play something. DOAX3 doesn't offer me gameplay. It offers me something I can get by heading to /h/ or /gif/ and wacking my dick for two minutes.
This is also the reason I stopped lurking DOA threads in general, yes, also the ones about the mainline fighting games. Those threads are just glorified dumps of ecchi pictures of girls and waifu-talking. Nothing about the game itself. No gameplay or story talk. I know many /v/ users have this kind of love for talking about non-videogames in a videogames board. But for me there's no point in that.
Well, shame this game flopped. Maybe many people think the same way as I do. Maybe there are other reasons.
>>332517825
Low budget. Had they forced everyone in the game would have been a glitchy mess like Xtreme 2 was. Even reusing models from 5 still costs money because they need to redo the rigging for each one and create all of the unique swimsuits. The game was made on a shoestring budget so it was either cut some of the girls or have it be another unpolished mess.
>>332518295
it didnt flop, it sold out
>>332517432
DoAX2 had a ton of DLC and had a long grind. You get far more money on this game and I generally get 2-3 swimsuits per in-game day. Nothing is more expensive than a million, and you can get that in 3 sessions of volleyball.
>>332518295
the volleyball is fun
the collection of other shitty minigames takes away from it
but people generally don't care for volleyball so it became a "minigame" game while nerfing the volleyball
all those pedophiles and cucks geezus
>>332518412
DoA X2 was all about doing the two weeks then going NG+ and finding the relationships than just a true grind. There was a ton of shit to do as well. It was built around the "vacation" system and finding relationships and gifting than just grinding out volleyball matches. DOA X3 is just grindy as fuck.
>>332515231
>game
There is no game, just fap material not worth the price.
Looks like over priced crap. I won't drop 60 on a new game unless it promises hours and hours of content, I'm not gonna spend more than that to grind dull mini games for artificial currency to buy swimsuits that may not even be accepted as gifts. Plus I hate the Team Jew business model; release a cheap barely finished game then unleash a shit load of pricey and purely cosmetic DLC
I refuse to buy softcore porn games that don't even have the decency to show nipples
>>332518637
Actually playing the game is grinding now?
>>332518637
>DOA X3 is just grindy as fuck.
You haven't even played it, bitch.
>>332517825
It's KT. They make DLC with games, not the other way around.
>>332518916
Exactly. All the girls will be in the game eventually, for a price. Anyone who thinks otherwise is blind
>>332518895
Enjoy your earnings cap designed around microtransactions and DLC
>>332518916
Atelier games aren't exactly loaded with DLC.
>>332515231
>Why didn't you buy their game /v/?
>buying porn games without the porn
haha
>>332518637
DoAX2 did the same two week vacation cycle that this game does. There was nothing different about gifting other than a list of achievements that demanded that the player gift things.
why not actually just play an actual porn game with marie in it? it has lewd dances and clothing as well don't tell me they actually enjoy those godawful mini games
>>332519019
>worrying about a winnings cap that is well above the price of any item you can purchase
I'm really not even sure why they capped it other than preventing bugs, because it certainly doesn't slow the player down.
>>332519019
>Enjoy your earnings cap
Btich, you really haven't play it.
>>332519049
But it still has a significant amount of them. It's has the least amount but it's still there. Which doesn't refute my point. KT makes DLC with games, not the other way around.
>>332519228
Haven't played 3 but I actually enjoyed the volleyball in the original DOAX. If DOAX3 were easier to acquire where I live then I'd probably pick it up
>>332515426
Not even SK2 numbers when combined
>>332519408
volleyball in 1 was actually kind of fun, lots of people saying the volleyball in 3 is just barely an afterthought theyre mostly praising the tanning, boob jiggle and the pedobait for x3
Not a flop, those are decent numbers for Japan physical only sales
>>332519304
It does in a way. You can't just grind and get all the cash you need and then buy multiple pieces of clothing right? That's my impression though, I don't have the game.
I just have one question, do the girls each get a pole dancing routine or do they all dance the same?
>>332519770
You can farm up to 1.5 million. Then your wallet is full. The moment you spend the money, you can earn more. The swimsuits range from 100k to 1,000k. The cap doesn't really prevent the player from buying things considering most players are likely spending the money every time they can afford the more expensive suits.
>>332519408
The volleyball in 3 is awesome.
No multiplayer though.
>>332519542
The volleyball is better than 2 and it feels more responsive.
Never played the original that everyone always praises.
>>332520023
I feel they place that "cap" in order to make the player spend it instead of just hoarding it.
You know, to make the player play the game.
>>332515231
What did you expect?
1. No nipple/areola bumps as in past titles.
2. No camel toe (we have the technology).
3. Few modes of play.
4. Designed around microtransactions up the asshole.
5. No Western release - the ones who historically speaking eats this stuff up.
6. No Tina, Christie, Lisa, Lei Fang, Milia, Rachel, Phase 4, Alpha-152, Kasumi a - likely all downloadable for $10(1000Y)/pop.
7. Almost nothing new/we've seen it all before.
8. No customizable pole dance routines (with "lewder" movements restricted to DLC of course).
Do your part /v/

For a low budget game like this 65k physical is pretty good isn't?
I mean they reused assets and the developement started like last year this game can't be that expensive.
>>332521765
also this is japan version! The asian version(which is the one people imported because of the english subtitles) is not included in this numbers.
>>332521160
Nah I understand perfectly why you guys like this thing. You only like it because makes your pee pee feel funny and you high off of the hormones it produces for you.
>>332521080
They expected 25,000 Vita sales and 40,000 PS4 sales. They sold those numbers and Amazon has already cut the price.
A bit of education of how videogame economy works.
1. Top management decides game to make
2. Marketing team sets a target of how many units to sell
3. From this you have a game budget
4. The first shipment is their target sales to achieve estimated ROI and make a profit
5. Hence shipment number is directly related to game budget
In this picture the rightmost bars represent sellthrough. Red means 80-100% sellthrough.

They arent forgettable, they just arent advertising to the west. They're getting all sorts of paid content
>>332521997
Does that mean we get DQM?
>>332524338
What paid content? The pre-order bonuses? Looking at the store all I see are tickets people can buy to redeem for the items they can easily get in-game anyway.
I wish it did.
Fucking feature-removing KT jews.
>>332515231
isn't this game literally just reusing character models from 5 but taking away the gameplay? Isn't this the closest to free money the gaming industry can get besides on disc dlc?

>>332515773

>>332524703
Upgraded and enhanced models from LR along with tanned skin textures. They replaced fighting with mini games and created multiple different short video clips. They also made the outfits a physical item instead of a skin so that the breasts don't fly around randomly.
It's a very easy cash in.
>>332515231
Wait, its really on the vita? Any comparission vid?
Not releasing porn games on PC is shooting yourself in the foot
>>332524894
Nobody outside Japan actually buys eroges. They did the sensible thing.
>>332525060
Then they should have released it in the west if they cared about sales out of country.
>>332525121
Anon, you weren't listening. I was saying that those games never sell outside of Japan, regardless if they're released there.
I did
I'm STILL waiting for it to arrive
>>332515352
Not for a game like this
>>332515884
How is he making money these days?

You guys are either dumb as hell or completely delusional. Either way, DoAX3 is doing excellent for what it is.
>>332520476
Do the Japanese even buy games they rate on Amazon? I mean who the fuck buys a game and then rates it 1 star? Can't you tell it's going to be that shit before buying it due to screens, gameplay vids, etc?
>Preparing order
>>332521997
Why don't they just do like the west and print a gorillion copies so that they drop to 10-20 bucks within 6 months?
>>332525665
Welcome to /v/. Throw logic out the window
Those sales are good considering how little work they actually put into the game, it's probably at least 80% recycled content, with a character poll that you had to pay to vote in months ago.
>>332515231
>no tina
Because it's shit.
>>332515231
because it isn't a game its softcore porn.
>>332522831
But anon, Splatoon sold 4m globally while Japan accounts for only 1.3m of those sales. It did more than sell moderately well in one country.
>>332526420
If only. I would pay triple for some girl on girl Cinemax action.
>>332515231
Wow you are retarded. The game sold well enough. The total shipment of both versions has a sell through of over 80%. A luck warm response is when a game sells between 60 and 80%, a flop is when it sells between 40-60% and a total failure is less than 40%. Btw read the famitsu numbers, they also come with the sell through percentage for each game.
You can have literally the same experience by watching videos.
Actually you have an even better experience then, because you actually have your hands free.
>>332526580
4 out of every 10 Wii U owners bought Splatoon. That just shows you how bizarre their taste is. Who the fuck wants a game where you paint the town red as a squid?
>>332516001
I would pirate it, but I'm pretty sure it would sell, at least the same that has already sold and more just by being on steam as a new release
>>332515272

They didn't say that at all. They said fuck you and your people who don't play our games.
>>332517665
Okay, so how exactly do you sell copies of a game you don't have copies of to sell?
If you send out 30k copies, you can't expect to sell 40k copies.
>>332528948
you are writting the same fanfic I did, and as I said, you blindly believe that blunder is "winning". Get real, retard
>>332529394
Nah nigga, you simply don't understand the basic principles of economy. Hence, you are dumb.
I wish we had the digital numbers. Japan loves digital, and I imagine this is a game many would prefer not to buy in public.
Those sales still are seppuku and losing face avoided, for DoA game.
>>332529674
That is bullshit. Even this generation the PS4 has the biggest average for digital sales and it barely reaches 10% of retail sales. Only when games are sold out that you have high digital sales and even then the sales barely reach 25% in the best case scenarios.
Explain to me how these are bad numbers for a low budget japanese game again?
>>332530351
They're not. People are just fucking retarded.
>game
If this is a game so is Gone Home.
>>332530448
doax is a game
it has gameplay because you play with yourself
>>332530448
DoAX3 has ten times the gameplay of Gone Home, though.
>>332530167
That's worldwide. Japan has taken strongly to digital because of cheap yet fast Internet, and lack of shelf space in their small homes.
No Lisa, no sale. Even then, it's not like I'm super interested in the game anyways.
>>332530801
I'm gonna need a source for that, as to my knowledge the opposite is true. The west has taken much more quickly to the digital future than japan.
It's always the same fucking people in this threads. Are you really so stubborn as to deny and actually defend this?
The GAME part is absolute shit, and it's not the reason anyone in their right mind bought it. You shield yourselves behind m-muh SJW boogeyman! to justify the shit Tecmo keeps shoving down your throats, and you gladly swallow all of it just because the girls make your weewee go haywire.
Sure, the models are in fact very well done and are probably among the best quality-wise among softcore stuff, and on a videogame no less (and I use videogame loosely). I can see why it could be popular, I can see why people would buy it.
But can you simply not understand that the actual interactive content is terrible? Card games? Reused animations? Do you honestly believe just because it tickles your libido it's a valid excuse to release a semi-interactive game solely based on T&A and make international buyers dish out +100$ because of that?
You're all fucking hypocrites.
>>332531763
>international buyers dish out +100$
Pretty sure you could get it for $60.
>>332531763
They don't give a shit as long as they get T&A
>>332517665
If it sold as many copies as they intended it to sell then why is it a flop?
>>332531763
Its just a defense mechanism for their shit taste.
Rather than just admitting that they buy garbage shit for titties they can act like they stick it to those evil SJW.
I bought it from playasia yesterday.
Hope it arrives soon (eurofag here)

>>332530351
They don't understand what the word "flop" means.
Your product flopped when you spent a fortune in advertisement, shipped one million copies but then only sold 100k.
If you budget a product expecting to sell 100k, ship 100k and then proceed to sell 80k during its first week, then you achieved pretty good results actually.
>>332525969

Dragon Quest sells like garbage in the west and it looks like Square might pull out and not bother releasing new entries outside of Asia.
65k for a lazy litteral rehash is more than decent.
>>332525969
Because the japanese gaming retail doesn't work like burgerclapland. Publishers don't take back unsold stock from retailers so they don't order more shipments than they're confident to sell.

Defending the release of a videogame in 2016 that's like 95% video and 5% game. But oh, Gone Home sure is shit, isn't it? Bar the "super progressive we're A-Ok with lesbos guise", it's the same exact deal. But hey, this one has titties so it's ok apparently.
And before you start flailing your arms, I'm not saying Gone Home is good either. I hate it as much as the next guy. Try to tell me though, why you consider that disgracefully bad but this one is perfectly fine without mentioning sex appeal.
>>332532951
>>332533258
It's not about enjoying it, dipshits. It's about how easily pleased you are with the tomfuckery TK keeps doing just because of tittilation. Slap tits and ass on a mediocre at the very best game and you're ok with it. Anyone else pulls the same thing without the lewds and the game is bashed to hell and back.

>>332515231
Why would I? It's barely a game, let alone a good one. If I want porn, I can get way better porn for free. They don't even have nipples in the game
>>332534760
It is not embarrassing to enjoy things. I'm still a husband and biological father. Liking mini games with fanservice doesn't change that.
>>332515231

>>332534096
I don't know shit about Gone Home. It's not even on my radar. So I have no opinion on it.
But you're attacking a game because you can't wrap your head around people actually enjoy it when you obviously don't.
>>332515231

Of course, their social media advertising campaign was a smashing success. Yet it only pertains to one web site, rather than the product itself.
>>332534713
Makes it even worse. It has done this shit ever since it started and it's never been called out on the mediocre as fuck gameplay part because tits.
>>332534683
All the gameplay goes to the same final objective anyway, that being dressing them as lewdly as possible and snapping screenies of them, whether it's in the beach, in the pole dancing room/club whatever, in the bedroom or in the games themselves. I'd hardly call that worthwhile gameplay. If I wanted that I'd just look for pictures on the vast internet, or even the constant threads we get here.
>>332535292
I'm really, really not. If I were simply attacking it I'd just be calling it shit with no apparent reason. There are however, objective and factual points that make it nothing more than a lackluster game, with emphasis on the game aspect. It's not a good game. Is it good fap material? Sure, but it's not a good game.
And these people are defending it because apparently the game part is not what's important, even though the thing that sets apart videoGAMES from movies is the gameplay.
But nah, this one doesn't apply. I can fap to it so it's perfectly fine.
>>332520518
>Being a milf/mature lover is suffering
it's only a suffering in 2016.
>>332536161
>objective and factual points that make it nothing more than a lackluster game
This is entirely subjective. Your opinion is that it's lackluster. Obviously other people don't agree, like myself, which is why it's subjective.
>It's not a good game.
In your opinion. Like I said. It's subjective.
Which goes back to my original point of you not accepting that there are people that don't agree with your opinion.
>>332536161
Everyone knew exactly what to expect from the start.
>>332536161
>games promise you T&A
>complains when the game does deliver
60000 copies for a literally no budget literally recycled animations everywhere ecchi game priced like a regular hentai game is quite a good result.
Think of this like you would think of Idolmaster, same type of sales, same type of dlc nickle-and-diming.
Remember the original Im@s on X360?
It made namco millions of dollars millions of dollars in dlc, yet it sold 75,272 copies.
>>332536161
They could just not have the relax mode or gravure videos and this would still be a full game. Just a game that has little reward.
>>332534670
Stop using spraypaint to do your nails Bruce.
>>332536828
I'm trying to be subjective but this game doesn't allow for that.
When you can find all the worthwhile parts as screenshots on the internet, then what's even the point of playing it?
I'll use a game I like and I think it's fairly accepted here, Metroid Zero Mission is a great isn't it? But I can't experience that one from screenshots or videos, because the gameplay is actually engaging. There's sequence breaking, there's upgrades, there's rewards at the end.
In DOAX3 though, what's there to do? Watch girls in bikinis, play poker, watch girls in bikinis, play pool butt bumping, watch girls in bikinis, put sunscreen on girl with bikini, gift girl in bikini a more revealing bikini, grind money, buy more bikinis for everyone. Is this truly what you call a good game?
>>332537003
>lefoodanalogyfaec.png
>>>332537336
So assume I'm a developer. Before releasing my game, I take to saying publically "hey, my game is terrible! but it has girls in bikinis!". Then I release the game, and there's people that complain my game is bad, while there's others happily playing it for the girls. Who's in the wrong? Me for releasing a bad game from the start? Whiners because I explicitly said it was terrible? Or the happy people for enjoying a terrible game?
>>332538031
I want to feel accomplished when I play games. Little reward = little incentive = little interest. This should apply to most people, but I'll admit not everyone.
>titty bollyball fightan game sold more than the definitive fighting game Street Fighter V

>>332538480

Is the other way around. The west has adopted Digital media more than Japan ever has. The percentage I am talking about are with the digital estimations that Famitsu release every month when you compare the sales of each game sold in the same month physically and then digitally you get that basically the following.
3DS digital sales ratio on average is 3%, Wii U is above 5%, PS3 is 5%, PSV is 10%, PS4 is between 10 and 15%.
>>332538480
>if I release a bad game, say it will be bad before release, and people whine that they bought a bad game, who is wrong?

They may release it in the west, but I hope they don't unless they add DLC characters to the NA/EU version so the people that already imported have incentive to buy it.
