XSeed: "Senran Kagura Would not Prosper in the West in This Day and Age" Anonymous 08/13/2024 (Tue) 20:30:17 Id: f3e482 No. 1001039
This really needs its own thread because of how right STUPID this shit is. This is like banning RPGs on the Sega Saturn levels of stupid, all because of retarded twitter/reddit/discord politics. These people can't see outside their little Californian bubble, and it pisses me the fuck off. The console game market is run by people who hate games, that's the only excuse I can think of when explaining this malicious ignorance. It's been proven time and time again that these games sell as long as there's a good gameplay structure. Even with an above average gameplay structure, Stellar Blade selling over a million copies in the past year alone PROVES that now is the best time to release Senran Kagura IN SPITE of gaming journalists and the reddit/twitter/discord grooming audience. Not only that, but the entire mobile market with games like Blue Archive and NIKKE is making millions of dollars in capital. You could make the market that "Oh it's just whales", but I would argue that's not a legitimate excuse when Stellar Blade sells over a million copies and other games like fucking Capes don't even sell close to that. That's not to mention Flintlock that has its numbers inflated by Gamepass only sold half the amount of Stellar Blade with a much bigger marketing campaign. There's no excuse for this level of stupidity, but what can we do about it? Maybe we can contact shareholders and have them communicate our issues through them? There's no excuse for this level of incompetence, although I'd personally argue that it's maliciousness considering everything I've talked about. sauce: https://noisypixel.net/xseed-games-ken-berry-interview/ https://archive.ph/N2zJb

Did you know that the guy who made senran went on to make Dolphin wave? A gacha game all about jet ski battles with giant tits. It is doing well too which makes Xseeds statement even more confusing.
>>1001316 That explains why Dolphin Wave felt somewhat similar in Style, feeling and soul to Senran Kagura. And also why the girls felt somewhat similar too and i thank him for that

>>1001316 There's also this that i found recently but didn't get around playing yet
>>1001039 uhh the Senran mobile game is the only thing making Marv money.

>>1001336 There was also an anime to promote it.
>>1002820 I'm guessing either the promotion for the game/anime was non existent or was overshadowed by something else. Shame. Tits should be front row of any game.
>>1002824 From what I remember, Sony didn't particularly care for big booby jetski racing game.
>>1002824 >was overshadowed by something else. It was this. Kandagawa Jet Girls was the straw that broke Kenichiro Takaki's back. It was about halfway through development when Takaki left Marvelous and very publicly said it was because he was sick of Sony's shit preventing him from making the kind of games he wanted to make, leading to the death of Senran Kagura and Valkyrie Drive. Marvelous continued work on KJG without Takaki and massively reduced all fanservice aspects of the game as per Sony's guidelines. All of this was well known by anyone following Takaki's career for a good half a year or so before the game was released, absolutely destroying any hype the last game with his involvement might have had. I've heard the game itself is pretty bad with a lot of telltale signs that not even the people who made it could be bothered to give a fuck with all of Sony's restrictions in place.
The people who fought for these games to come out in the first place are no longer with the company. That's what they REALLY mean when they say this. Tom was a goofy commie who wanted the japs to self censor, but he was genuinely passionate about these games when nobody else was. Similar the woman they had on trails, I forget her name, there's no way anything after the first chapter would have released if there wasn't people like her championing/translating it at that shithole. It would have died with the tranny that tried to kill itself over the subject matter.
>>1003277 People like those just don't exist like they used to. They've all jumped ship and lesser minds who'd rather change major aspects of these games to suit their agendas or desires have taken their places.
>>1003277 >(((Tom))) cared <The same fag who appeard on youtube videos and comments, defend the old AND new localizing practices and sighting Atlus USA's(aka modern NISA's) localization of Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure Sure thing dude; I've also heard that pigs sprout wings and fly around, delivering fresh ham to you.
>>1004378 Anon, nothing you posted contradicted what he said.
>>1001249 Could you elaborate?
>>1004381 Anon, you can't "be passionate" about a game and want the game's original vision to be censored because it hurts your feefees; it's one or the other. And Tom was passionate about localizing unknown franchises in order to have a leg up in Neogaf and Resetera threads with the Yakuza localizers and the 8-4 faggots. The other anon was conflating Tom's passion(which is politics and self-aggrandization by invading niche spaces) with actual care over a franchise that was difficult to come over due to puritan views being pushed even in Europe at the time I had to order my physical euro copy from fucking France because a lot of countries actively didn't bring it over despite having a clearance to be sold across the EU and was supported by sweaty nerds across a few sites that put a lot of work into translating the games before X-Seed got their localizations out and even scanlated, fansubbed and brought over drama cd content. And part of that community was found back in the 8chan days as well. There's a reason a lot of these franchises, that used to be for hardcore otaku, got traction with failed normalfags and normalniggers AFTER said "passionate" localizers brought them over, meme'd them to high hell, shilled them across their tumblrs and made them worse that Ogasawara's goon-tier lolcalizations of Pokeymanz. Yakuza was another of those victims.
>>1004388 >“Valve’s content review team, the group that made the original decision, has re-examined CHAOS;HEAD NOAH and decided to reverse course and allow the game to ship on Steam, as is,” Valve stated. “We’ve also examined the process that led to the previous decision about CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, and made some changes to avoid situations like this in the future.” https://archive.ph/wOoav
>>1004472 Eh, sound like they made an exception to overrule the initial content review because it was a big publisher and the game wasn't all about porn. I doubt they've "examined the process that led to the previous decision about CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, and made some changes to avoid situations like this in the future."
>>1001272 I'll never understand why did the nerd emoji manage to caught up considering it came from Jerry Lewis, the jew who sodomized whores back in the day at Paramount Studios
>>1004476 Its fucking embarrassing because that was a console game. Valve had no excuse for that shit happening in the first place.

>>1004549 >Jerry Lewis For a minute there, I thought you were talking about the absolute chad Jerry Lee Lewis who married his 13 year old cousin. Took me a second to even remember who the fuck Jerry Lewis was. I know he was popular for some reason, but I can't for the life of me recall anything he had been in aside from fund raisers for muscular dystrophy and some film I vaguely recall where he was waiting in a therapists office and keep sliding off of the vinyl furniture like a retard.
>>1004575 Up to the 80's a lot of rock and metal music talked about fucking any girl 13 and up.
>>1010584 Is this psyop all you know how to post?
You now remember the /senran/ board on 8chan Prime
>>1014564 delete this
>>1014564 It fucking hurts. I also remember the /nep/ board too.
>>1010560 Rockstars still do it they just don't talk about it.
>>1014564 >>1014572 >>1014576 Entire boards to accommodate every fandom and subculture seem like a much better concept than /vg/ generals on cuckchan and it worked out well on prime. Fuck it, somebody should resurrect those boards even if the vibes aren't the same, and even if the Jews ship us off to die in WWIII.

So a Korean mobage I play is doing a collab with Senran Kagura with Yomi, Hikage, Yozakura, and obligatory and stale by this point Yumi, complete with the cloth-tearing that's iconic to the series but doesn't get represented outside of it. Is it neat? Yes. Is it formulaic as the IP license is real cheap to nab? Yes. Is it a continuation of the zombie limbo of the IP under Marvelous? Also yes. does Takaki even get a good cut of the sales, Honey ∞ Parade Games is cited in all of these collabs as well as Marvelous; I WANT to think so but my cynical gut is telling me no
>>1014564 8chan prime was killed 5 years ago btw
>>1016453 What did you do differently?
>>1016455 Spoiler doesn't work with redtext
>>1001063 >, just make a Mihoyo skinner box ripoff, They can't even do that right, the korians and chinese are giving the fanservice japan refuses and are stealing there market share.
>>1016538 I don't think Japan is averse to fanservice like people are starting to believe (I mean don't get me wrong things like OP topic, or like Bamco saying they're going in on DEI is fucked). I think it's more when it's a fading series like Senran Kagura that is probably past it's prime they seem to have this perfectionist stance where if they can't see a smash hit they will not commit to a full fledged project. And also they suck at marketing. Japan still has gachas topping the charts, but their success is so localized within Japan (I mean, some of them like Uma Musume you can only play on a Japan IP) it seems like they have some global marketing issues, as they have with other areas of entertainment like music.
So as it turns out the collab in >>1016298 wasn't just a fluke, it's full-on set in the original universe and centered around the cast with one of the BD2 characters getting isekai'd briefly into it. I'm posting some vids from the collab but man is it melancholic that a Korean gacha can do more justice to the franchise than the original IP owners.
>>1004555 >score cute loli >cheats on her >mistreats her Nah, he was a dick.
OP you know as well as I do they see anime girls as pedobait. These are the cocksuckers who will cheer at Tifa's censorship, swear they are not projecting their own issue, and got found having fucked real kids in their lives or worse.
