>only 75th place on Steam global top seller list for shame!

What can we do to make this series as popular as Senran Kagura?

>>381325339
The girls are shit. Is has the senran syndrome. They all share the same body type, face and breasts. Boring.

>>381325339
People kinda realized games such as this are just shallow fan service games that have game play more repetitive than musou.

>>381325339
I've been meaning to pick it up on my Vita for ages but I've never had the money spare. The same goes for the PC version sadly still paying back money I owe

>>381325339

I'm not buying it again. I already got the plat on Vita.

>>381325339
>buying shitty games just to look at tits
Just watch hentai, dipshit

Everybody who actually wanted this game bought it already.
The ones who are getting it on Steam are probably double-dipping.

>>381325691
Why would you assume everyone has a Vita. Didn't that console sell terribly?

>>381325339
In a world where actual porn games are sold on Steam, an ecchi game sells poorly. Really makes your toboggan go downhill.

The more important question is.

Where the fuck can I download the artbook for the game?

>>381325776
Not the worst but not the best.
It isn't like Sony lost money with the Vita. But the issue is it already sold to fans who would want this.
The Senran games sold similarly for Vita as well (~150k) so there isn't many left who would buy the PC version.

The gameplay is shit and you can find image dumps of the characters online, there is no reason to purchase it.

>>381326000

You can just pirate it anyway. It was available within minutes after being put onto Steam.

>>381325339
It's nowhere near Senran is terms of value, the girls in VD are very similar to each other and the setting isn't as interesting, the game isn't only failing on Steam it also failed in Japan, it only sold around 50.000 with an anime promoting it, that's abysmal.

Takaki quickly realized only Senran can do his magic work.

>>381326072
>it only sold around 50.000

Source?
Because it sold 160k units worldwide and it was only available in Japan and Europe.

Thanks for naming every anime ever.

>>381325339
How much of a loser virgin do i have to be to enjoy games like these

>>381325339
I'm going to get it at some point, but not paying 30€ for fap material

>>381326331
Just pirate it.

>>381325505
At least the artist know how to draw unlike the guy from Senran Kagura that fucks it up as soon as he tries to do some risky angle.

>>381326129
Not that dude, but I found its first week sales in Japan.

>New 05. Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni 39,013 New PSV Marvelous

>http://www.siliconera.com/2015/12/16/this-week-in-sales-hardware-costume-breaking-weapon-girls-el-psy-kongroo/#1UtePxeYXRZbadFh.99

That is very bad for something with an anime airing to promote it, if I'm not mistaken Shinovi Versus sold almost 100k on the first week due the Senran anime airing at the time.

>>381326260
Neogaf don't you have some SJW "game" to play?

The anime and manga flopped but they were all released at the same time for a multimedia project. Even if senran outpaced it, that doesn't mean much when it gets outsold anyway. I'm asking because it sold 50k in Europe alone according to pqube so I doubt it sold equally in Japan.

>>381325339
The girls are shit and boring compared to the Senrans.

>>381326191
Why does anime get a freepass?

>western artist draws sameface/body
>he suffers from sameface, such a bad artist, blabla
>yeah you are right
>yeah fuck him he better learn how to draw different stuff

>japanese artist draws sameface/body
>well every anime does?? who cares?

>>381327485
Bruce Timm did sameface and body and his tv shows and comics still did well.

>>381327485
Japanese samefaces/samebodies are at least attractive.

>>381327485
Because it is actually appealing? Also i see way more samefaces on westernshit than japanese stuff.

>>381326605
SV was released on two consoles.

VD sold around 160k units on the Vita.
EV sold around 170k units on Vita and 150k on PS4

Keep in mind that VD was a new IP and the anime wasn't "promoting" it, it was part of the project. Senran Kagura already had a bunch of games before SV/EV.

>>381325339
THE GAMEPLAY IS FUCKING DOGSHIT JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE SENRAN KAGURA GAMES

PEOPLE ONLY LIKE THIS CRAP FOR THE PORN

>>381327897
>SV was released on two consoles
No it wasn't at release, it was released on Vita, a console that haven't had a single Senran game till then, PC happened years later, and yes the VD anime was promoting the game, it's like you don't understand the japanese industry.

>>381325339
it seems that even the most desperate are getting tired of Vita weebshit

>>381327897
You are mistaking Estival Versus for Shinovi Versus, I think you don't know what you are talking about.

no loli no buy

>>381327945
i'm just buying it to support more japanese games on steam, even if i do only play it for t&a

>>381325339
it's like japan has never seen a breast before.

>mediocre game where the only appeal in fanservice and otaku pandering
It belongs in the garbage

>>381328221
Yeah I misread. Doesn't change the fact that SK was already a well known brand.

Either way, SV was a freak accident seeing how EV failed to meet that expectation.

On the PC alone SV sold 80k and EV sold a measly 20k.

>>381328501
And you have outside of chestlets and fat women?

>>381327790
>>381327845

Except rhe argument here is that VD is shit because of samefaces and copypaste bodies

>>381328806
And they still look pretty good,what's the problem with that?

>>381325691
>Everybody who actually wanted this game bought it already.
Untrue. I don't own a vita and just got it for steam.

>>381328990

Congrats now it'll sell 10001 units. Feel free to play with the 8000 double-dippers and 2000 'supporters'.

>>381329101
Feels good to enjoy games and not care about all the other shit.

>>381328650
EV was a shit game compared to SV

>>381325505
All wrong

>>381329269

>It probably won't sell well because most people interested bought it already
>That's not true I just picked up the PC version!
>Congrats but it still won't really sell well
>I-It doesn't matter! Who cares!?

The reason why I want it to sell well is so they can release VD2 you fucking retard.

>>381329272
Nah it was fine. Don't pretend your standards are high and how SV had deep mechanics or something.

SV just had that meme appeal to it which faded over time when EV released.

>>381329398

This.
SV was literally THE ironic weeb game for steamers. EV only appealed to actual fans and those fans were on PS4/Vita, not PC.

>>381329486
>EV only appealed to actual fans and those fans were on PS4/Vita, not PC.
Except EV sold less than SV on consoles too.

>>381328921

Its not selling in Steam, thats what

>>381329573
Source?
Because I know EV sold around 320k which is still great for consoles.

>>381325339

On the other hand OP, it still has the same universal user acclaim like the other Senran Kagura games. That says a lot more than other games on steam.

>>381329598
No japanese game that is not AAA will sell well on Steam

>>381329762

Explain Nier then

>>381329952
>Square Enix
>Platinum
It's a AAA game

>>381329952

>>381329952
That's AAA mate.

>b-but SE are Joos they fucked over Taro with the budget
Shut up.

Square's AAA games usually need several millions to break even retards.

Nier barely did 1.5 million and Square said that was "much more" than expected. Which means the game's budget was much lower than their usual AAA titles. Which mean Nier A was NOT AAA.

Deal with it.

>>381330351
http://www.dualshockers.com/nier-automata-sold-significantly-plans-square-enix-aggressive-plans-west/
Square said something about Nier they never said when talking about their AAA games who sold up to 4 millions.

Square is famous for asking ridiculous sale numbers for their AAA games to break even. 4 millions is sometimes not enough. FF15, their AAA RPG, require 5 millions.

If Nier turned a good profit with only 1.5 millions sales it never had AAA budget.

You're a fucking idiot. Spam your memes away isn't to discussing rationally, it fits you well.

Nier A was AA, in the same vein as its other games like Drakengard and Nier. It just had good gameplay. But if you want fucking aaa, thats what FFXV, Tekken 7, RE7 and so on is for. You know, games where you can fucking see the tens of millions of dollars spent into making it on the screen alone.

>>381330756
1.5 millions is still AAA tier

>>381330831

Umm no sweetie. It was better than Nier's and Drakengard's but hardly good. It was repetitive as all hell and all of the sidequests were fetch or kill quests.

>>381325505
Exactly. Why have many girls if they all look the same aside from hairstyle and hair colour and eyes?

This is the sales Square want from their AAA. games.

>>381330852
No it's not. That number is "above their plan" which mean the game broke even at less than a million probably. Even when the game sold a million their were surprised. Maybe just the 250k japanese sales were enough.
Definitively not AAA.

No its fucking not. Thats the highest a AA game can achieve, i.e. most Platinum games like MGRR. If a Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts title only sold 1.5m it would be a fucking commercial disaster.

maybe they should try making the game and the fanservice actually good instead of halfassing the entire thing

>>381328129

>it was released on Vita, a console that haven't had a single Senran game till then

that's irrelevant senrans were big nintendo exclusives for years and they were massively popular, so much so that they made spots like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72Pgn4kFVZk

then sony niggers got handed some scraps and claimed nintendo was doomed and then got promptly btfo when deep crimson was announced as 3ds exclusives and then they got cucked by PC players that got every single spin off they got only a little later and for FREE so now they shitpost sales like they matter as always lmao

>>381325505
they actually all have unique bodytypes, unlinke senran.

>>381331193

>that got every single spin off they got only a little later

The PC port of SV came 3 years after the Vita release and a year after EV had already been out. Then by the time they announced the EV port, PBS was out. That's not exactly a "little later".

My only beef with Senran Kagura was the Events where you could make a scene has turned to low quality softcore porn ever since the update with the balloon item that lets you make shitty tit/nipples

So now every event is filled with nothing but shitty 18+ material that weebfags fap to

>>381331501

because they weren't even considering PC at the time, if you compare SV PC to EV PC the dates are considerably closer

Unfortunate release date right before the Summer sale. I only have so much money.

>>381328419
you'll buy censored kusoge just because it's japanese? i bet you buy sekai project vomit too

>>381333989
not that guy but i normally buy it then pirate the uncensor patch
i personally dislike SP's translations because theyre really hit or miss but if the cute girls catch my attention i cant help it

>>381334301
oy vey, if it has to be patched just fucking pirate it to begin with. they absolutely do not need your money.

Don't like the art style, and while I don't think sameface is a bad thing, the characters look TOO similar to each other. Most of the cast look like recolors or slightly different versions of each other.

>>381329395
>thinking PC sales matter at all to the japanese company heads who decide what gets made.

>>381330756

>they have titles that go grossly over budget and spend years in development hell
>HURR DURR UNLESS THEIR GAME HAS FUCKED UP DEVELOPMENT IT'S NOT AAA

Guess who's the retard here, retard

EV was boring as shit the gameplay sucked, it was so slow and boring compared to SV
