pls don't go bankrupt ;_; unironically

>>725201943 (OP)

but is the game good

>>725202114
I'm enjoying it. It's an ok action platformer that's not a metroidvania. Wish it had more weapons tho, like a Megaman sort of deal.

>>725202245
I wanna plap the centaur lady

I always thought Inti Creates games felt like shit to play, only Blaster Master Zero felt alright. It's honestly a real shame because I like their games' aesthetics in general.

its time to push the gal gun 3 emergency button

Woah who could have seen this coming???

Did my part and bought the physical copy. Your turn, /v/

>>725202904

>he boughted?
>shut it down

>>725201943 (OP)
Their games have been getting more and more niche.

Good
All they have been making is pure shovelware trash

>>725201943 (OP)
I boughted.

The problem is they were basically killed. Card En Ciel is quite nice, but clearly wanted to lean into sex appeal. However because of the restrictions on them it was VERY toned down, so didn't really press that button hard.

So it became just another of the roguelite deckbuilder tide without a distinguishing mark. Porn games are too unreliable to actually publish with a company of their size (randomly get banned, company over), and they rely on consoles so can't push those out.

Compare this art to galgun where you are upskirting schoolgirls and blowing up their clothes with a gun. THAT is what they want to be making but can't. I think they were trying to run down the clock on puritanism, but unfortunately it seems like the other side has picked up the torch so it isn't going away for a while. I don't see a way out of this for them.

>>725202815
>emergency button
you mean the financial suicide button? Where the fuck would they even sell it besides DLsite and maybe GOG?

>>725202886
Card-en-Ciel used a similar graphical style and that did pretty good for them as far as I can tell.

>>725202723
MMZ, Curse of the Moon and Gunvolt are also good though. In fact I'd say the gamefeel is usually a strong point with Inti, though less so for Majogami
>>725201943 (OP)
They either made a compromised non-score-attack Gunvolt-ish game or a compromised action platformer with a singular focus on one mechanic at the expense of variety. It's not hard to see how that's not finding much appeal

>>725203742
Now that I look at this more closely you can even see where they preemptively censored it on her chest and midriff. They obviously closed off that window in her dress.

>>725203742
>I don't see a way out of this for them.
I do, they need to make new game that's a crowd pleaser and one they can release on everything. Out of the IPs they own themselves Gunvolt is pretty much the only option and they recently did basically give us a soft confirmation that they're working on a new mainline entry, so they need to lock in and stop fucking around with soft reboot stories (looking at you GV3) and needlessly experimental gameplay changes for the sake of it (looking at you LAiX2). Just make GV2.5 for real, that should at least buy them some time I think.

>>725204628
The gaming industry is way more competitive than it was 10 years ago. I don't think gunvolt is as much of a hook as it used to be.

>>725202904
Same, but it's looking mighty bleak.

>>725204730
It still does pretty good for them, we can see so as recently as this July:

12. [NSW] Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced (Inti Creates, 07/24/25) – 4,905 (New)

>>725201943 (OP)
luminous avenger ix (NOT 2) was their best game by leaps and bounds and they should think about why that game worked instead of making umbraclaw and gal guardians 2
i don't even need it to have gv characters as long as the game itself is fun

>>725205146
How many people do they have in the studio? 5000 copies in their primary market seems pretty marginal.

>>725204967
That's a fancy box cover. Stylish.

>>725201943 (OP)
I didnt buy this because it looks like a glorified Flash game
they should crowdfund porn games

>>725205239
The art book cover is nice too.

>>725205229
Last I heard something like 90 employees. And don't forget this is only physical sales, they still sell their games digitally too, though I have no clue how many.

>>725205485
90 employees is nuts for a 2D game studio in 2025.

I have no idea how they are managing it unless they are all part time or paid peanuts.

>>725205478
You know what you must do, anon.

>>725205557
If this thread is miraculously up by the time I get back from the wagie cagie, sure.

>>725202904
AmiAmi only just today asked for payment for my Switch 2 standard edition pre-order. I did buy it on Steam as well however.

>>725202723
Their aesthetics have gotten extremely fucking generic, only their MMZ style was good

>>725205545
It's Japan so their dev salaries aren't that crazy

Played the demo but it feels really soulless and boring
Even the aesthetic is this weird esoteric chinaslop
I can see why its flopping, it just doesnt have any draw in, it looks like a huge mess

>re-release gv games like they are nintendo
>that gv rhythm game
>release games with cut content
>lock jp voices for bmz behind a console trilogy for no reason
>waste money on eng dubs
They are doing it to themselves honestly.

>>725207519
>>waste money on eng dubs
To be fair they did stop that as of this year, the Card-en-Ciel DLC will have it again but only because the base game does so too late to take that back there.

>>725203496
gonna buy it as well

>>725205861
That actually might be it. Dragon Marked for Death was like the last hurrah of the MMZ artstyle.

>>725201943 (OP)
Meh, they've been releasing crap for a while now so at this point I don't mind the company crashing and burning.
Best case scenario the devs move to a better company instead of one that makes slop so often despite having some talented folk.

>>725208282
desu though I haven't played Card-en-Ciel yet. I do like Inti though.

>>725201943 (OP)
How the fuck they haven't gone bankrupt?

I mean they dared to do the impossible. They made shit they wanted to make. Sadly the market punishes that.

Gal guardians was shit

gal gun but its all lonely affection starved office hags(extra desperate)
Try not to get hagged without mercy edition
Moe Moe Menopause!

>>725204628
I really want to be wrong but I just don't think they would be rewarded for trying to replace Megaman.

>>725201943 (OP)
Their audience is on switch not on steam

>>725209285
He did mention Tendies aren't buying new Inti games

>>725201943 (OP)
The standard physical edition on Switch 2 was unironically over 9000 yen. It was almost double the price to just get it digital. The sentiment to fight key cards was nice, but it wasn't worth the trade off.

Also, call it a stretch, but there was good source rumors suggesting Nintendo was absolutely not giving Switch 2 devkits to devs who are at risk of closing, with the rumor being that was why they weren't giving any to Embracer owned studios.

>>725209285
Retard.

I can't believe nobody wants to buy this

>>725209543
Visual diarrhea

>>725201943 (OP)
I have to be honest even though I loved their Mega Man games and the Gunvolt series, I've found most of their recent entries unimpressive. I bought DMFD on day one, and that was the most disappointed I've ever been in a game. Umbraclaw was an interesting experiment that didn't unfortunately didn't work out well enough IMO. Divine Dynamo demo was just okay. The Majogami demo just feels like a watered down Gunvolt 3 with shittier animation.

>>725209285

GV3 and iX 2 are so bad.

>>725201943 (OP)
>>NEITHER Nintendo version charted on Famitsu's top 30 (the 30th slot only sold 1673 copies)
their physical versions are more expensive than digital due to having extra stuff like the acrylic stands
unironically not a good way to gauge saies because they are the one dev that actually sell more digitally than physically in japan
also they were already cutting costs by not having EN dubs outright

>>725210162
Why?

>>725210162
iX1, DMFD, and the BMZ trilogy were my favorites when I marathoned all their games like 3-4 years ago

https://files.catbox.moe/cy4a5u.mp4

>>725205545
That number includes the marketing and accounting people, even janitors.
Also they don't even reside in tokyo so that alone makes studio costs fairly cheap.

>>725210095
>>725210178
Isn't the cutoff for that next week?

>>725210324
Actually it was only 2 years ago. I'm not that cool.

>>725210231
NTA but the only bad thing about GV3 is it doesn't let you turn off the shitty JPOP revival mode for when you want to do a challenge run.

>>725201943 (OP)
They're not going bankrupt retard

Witch game probably did flop tho

Where the hell is DMFD2? Witchy deserves another game.

>>725210880
Why wasn't she the protagonist of Majogami. That would have solved their current troubles.

Liked the demo enough to buy it.

>>725210494
The game came out last week on Switch 1 and 2, so results should've been up this week.

>>725210880
>>725210965
Marvelous owns the IP, Inti couldn't even include it in Card-en-Ciel.

>>725211323
Indeed. Thus, I can recognize trash in kind. DMFD is a trash game.

>>725211370
Is the second game any good. I played a good chunk of the first one and it was way too easy.

>>725211567
>braindead enemies
>braindead platforming
>slog bosses that have a single attack and take years to kill
The art is the only thing the game has going for it.

>>725211440
The first one is the worst one since it's just an almost exact remake of the NES game but with a new story and things like the bullshit ladder removed

English dubs was a fucking stupid move, financially. I appreciate Matt Papa for giving us not-dogshit localizations, but fuck him for telling inti to go for that on his way out.

>>725210425
I think that's the real reason Inti manages to continue existing, they're cheap. Not cheap as in the prices they charge of course, just everything else about them.

>>725211654
It has extremely fun spell casting with Witch and Oracle and bosses didn't take years to kill, at least not on the normal low level missions. I don't care about multiplayer, the high level missions, or any of the other characters so I had fun with it. And yes, the art was awesome.

>>725212118
I mained the witch too, and didn't bother with multiplayer. I didn't find the levels very interesting (most of them were copy pasted with minor differences). Witch playstyle was interesting, but that couldn't carry the weak level and enemy design imo.

>>725212590
That's why we need DMFD2. Cute, good designs like Witch with a fun spell mechanic. Just improve some things like levels, enemies, and high level mission balancing and they could have an even better game on their hands.

i have both GGuardians, GGun, and Card-en-Ciel
I don't need another platformer
will try the demo though

>>725201943 (OP)
They have my support. If that's not enough, so be it. The industry gets a bit worse overall, and I spend a bit less in it. We'll always have Zero/ZX.

>>725201943 (OP)
It sucks because so much of what the industry is now is against them, particularly with erotic content. Even if Majogami wasn't delayed on Steam, I doubt it would've made big numbers either, because they aren't well known enough and their cult series (both in and out of house) were finished.

I applaud them for making new IPs, but they always feel like some new attempt at a different rendition of another action platformer. I hope they can find their way out of whatever hole they're in, but I'm not hopeful.

They at least gave us BMZ trilogy, and as much as I'd want a sequel, it's still some of their best work.

This company hasn't made a single worthwhile thing since they stopped working for CAPCOM.

>>725201943 (OP)
>>725203742
It's the same thing wherever you go for all of these legacy otaku game publishers. Compile Heart and NIS are running into the exact same problems, their sales also having gone into the shitter, with increasing signs that they are struggling behind the scenes (CH/IF has had to delay THREE games this year for unknown reasons). It's not just that they can't make the kind of risque games they used to because of industry-wide regulations, even when they do, the audience that used to show up for them doesn't. Vita games used to do 50k in Japan alone. Now they're lucky to do 5k. Why? Because Reiwa otaku have shown they are not willing to invest in anything but gacha and VTubers. So even if they DO make those ecchi games again, going through hell and high water to push through all the censorship, they will be rewarded with 10k sales at best. So at this point, why even try? And I think that's the mindset most of them have adopted, which is why you see their output getting lazier and lazier quality-wise, on top of not having the budget they used to. They're all basically juts punching the clock waiting for the end now. "Ruuning out the clock" on puritanism isn't going to happen, this is something the west has building up to since the 60s and no party with any power is interested in undoing the civil rights legislation that this is all downstream of. It's not going to get any better until the current western political elite is overthrown, because they're all in lockstep with this. Straight male sexuality is demonized and men are treated as disposable workhorses or dangerous rape monsters and it's that way no matter where you go because feminism rules the west. The only place that might stand up for these games is Japan and even that hope is fleeting.

wonder what good news are gonna drop soon specifically for ecchi games now that glownogs are fearmongering about inti/ecchi games in particular
this pattern has been so consistent that the second anyone tries to doom and gloom me i start thinking "good news soon, within 6/12 hours in fact"

>>725209163
This might get it past Steam, but consoles don't care as much about the (perceived) ages of the characters as much as they do the general ecchi content, which Gal*Gun will run afoul of. The audience also won't be amused at the lack of moe appeal (which is based on emphasizing "cutesy" young girls or girls with neotenous traits), so they won't support it and may even view it as a betrayal.

>>725201943 (OP)
they make too many small IPs instead of doing something more substantial like gunvolt or blaster master.
this is like the exact same route platinum games went. at least they didn't went full retard like them yet

>>725214690
That's objectively wrong but you'll blindly deny it so I won't even waste any more of my time with you.

>>725214773

By all accounts, yes, all their socials went dark a few years ago and their website went down, and they've shown no signs of activity since.
>>725215809
All they make is gachashit outside of Stellar Blade which has more in common with a AAA western action game from the 2000s than Japanese moe ecchi games. And the moment it found any success, Shift Up immediately went public and sold out to BlackRock/Vanguard.

>>725215809
All they make is live service gacha trash, if the Japanese gacha trash doesn't count then I don't see why the Korean or Chinese ones should.

If you want to support good niche, non-ecchi Japanese games, go buy:
Ender Magnolia+Lillies
Dolls Nest
Hyke: Northern Lights
Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection
Disgaea 7
Sakuna
Dragon Marked for Death

These aren't ecchi games though but the top three I listed all released this year. Dolls Nest does have up-skirt shots however and some of those games have designs that show a fair bit of skin. At least go buy Dolls Nest if you claim to like up-skirt shots. I don't know about Majogami, I'm still on the fence on whether I'm getting it or not.

>>725216146
>Dragon Marked for Death
>good
You don't need to try and slip that in just because this happens to be an Intifag thread

Majogami suffers from being more similar to the MM Zero games when everyone expected it to be like GV.
And also some of the usual Inti issues.

>>725216146
Dolls Nest should have been a sequel to Full Metal Daemon Muramasa.

>>725216146

>>725216228
In many ways it's Inti's only good game after MMZ

>>725216362
Not in the way of actually being a good game though

The only companies still making ecchi games are young upstarts who haven't yet gotten fucked over by the industry-wide censorship apparatus and found out just what it means to be an openly straight otaku-catered company in current year. Dragami is releasing LoveR Kiss in English for the first time, but since it got banned from Steam and won't release outside of Japan on Switch, it's basically destined to be a financial disaster, which means they will never do anything like it again. That's the road all of these companies will take; some new upstart with a passion for ecchi and anime girls decides to make their dream game, gets fucked over by (((platform))) regulations, and becomes disillusioned and either exits the industry or punches the clock until they can't coast any more.

>>725216146
>Sakuna
Neat gimmick tacked on to a subpar action platformer.

Seriously, even the bad Inti games are better than that.

>>725216493
Where's it gonna land? DLsite?

>>725216560
Yes, on GOG too.

>>725216560
And GOG.
https://www.gog.com/en/game/lover_kiss_endless_memories

I was hoping Dragon Marked for Death would be more of a regular beat em up but when laying online all people did was hyper rush the levels skipping everything and only fight the bosses, I've never been a fan of that.

Wonder if the fag is going to spam 3dpd pizza again because his fearmongering isn't working.

>>725216228
It's flawed but still pretty fun. Also just trying to include a range there. I really think the game has more potential so I want Inti to somehow have Marvelous give them a shot at a sequel.

>>725215809
Too bad the game itself sucks ass

>>725216670
How many years have you been waiting for that now?

>>725216614
>>725216626
I heard DLsite gives you a limited number of installs, is that confirmed already? Cause I want to buy DLsite but not if that's true

>>725203742
>>725214773
dude genuinely shut the fuck up, Inti has never been about dude sex lmao.
Even Gal Gun is pretty tame for what it is because that was never the point of their games, you fucking tourists need to fuck off.

>>725216845
>I heard DLsite gives you a limited number of installs
First time hearing that, are you sure you're not thinking of a different storefront? The one that Dungeon Travelers 2's PC port got banished to?

>>725216494
The game genuinely had very good characters/story and just a lot of charm in general. I thought the combat itself was actually very good but it wasn't really a game about long levels with heavy exploration.

>>725216792
I mean, I doubt it'll ever happen, you're right about that. It's not my most wanted sequel ever but it would still be cool if they went back to it.

>>725201943 (OP)
ecchi game moved to mobile, the audience moved to mobile, they're making games for a declining audience.

>>725216845
If it has PlayDRM, yes. I can't check personally because I can't find the page. It either hasn't gone up yet, or more likely, is region-locked because of DLSite's automated system that they implemented earlier this year to appease western credit card companies.
>>725216972
Inti was literally founded by hentai artists. Gal*Gun is their most well-known IP after Gunvolt and all of their games are heavily otaku-flavored. Shut the fuck up, you're the one who doesn't know what you're talking about. Gal*Gun 2 is one of the most risque games ever put to a console.

>>725217337
>warm as HELL
Wait is that why one of /jp/'s old memes was typing like that? Because of this game/series?

>>725216972

In that game that's nothing. If anything you just outed yourself as someone who isn't a die hard Inti fan.

>>725217239
>they
who is they? Inti mainly make old school 2d action platformers for anime fans, I think you might be in the wrong thread.
>>725217337
Again, you clearly never even played these games. Most of GalGun is played for laughs instead of actually trying to be sexy.

>>725216972
>>725217652
Based true inti chad

>>725217652
>Most of GalGun is played for laughs instead of actually trying to be sexy
What do you think you have to gain by downplaying how lewd Gal*Gun is here? Of course it's made to be humorous and outrageous, that's almost all anime-style ecchi humor in general. Senran Kagura and Genkai Tokki are the same. That doesn't mean they aren't lewd. It's part of the general culture and identity of these games, they're both funny and lewd.

>>725218020
Come on bro, nobody is actually getting turned on by galgun, it's a joke series. The entire series is a joke. Not sexy. There's a massive difference between a game that's genuinely trying to be lewd vs humour

>>725218020
Sure they are lewd, most of Inti's games have a decent amount of fan service. But my point is that you faggots pretend like the ecchi and fan service parts of these games are the only redeeming quality about them. Maybe that's true for senran kagura but absolutely not for Inti's library. Saying that they need to focus on those aspects only and then saying insane stuff like "card-en-ciel is not the game they wanted to make" is just schizo talk.

>>725218635
You are this close to "critically consooming" a fucking ecchi game series about giving high school girls orgasms. Please stop being retarded.
>>725218649
>Saying that they need to focus on those aspects only and then saying insane stuff like "card-en-ciel is not the game they wanted to make is just schizo talk.
If this were true, they wouldn't be constantly whining about how they can't make a new Gal*Gun. They've literally admitted that it's a "sore subject" within the company itself.

>>725219015
You must be either retarded or a bait poster.

>>725219015
Let me guess, this "constantly whining" is about that single joke in card-en-ciel? Do you also think Gal Guardians was made because they couldn't make a new gal gun, instead of the fact they just thought it would be really funny to make a bait and switch pretending to be serious castlevania game that then turns into a literal panty quest after the first half of the game?

>>725201943 (OP)
All they had to do was not fuckup iX2 and GV3
They did fuck up both iX2 and GV3

>>725219057
Ditto.
>>725219382
Have you even been paying attention to their interviews and streams the past few years? There was one JUST THIS FUCKING YEAR where they whined about how Steam won't take a new Gal*Gun game now and the lack of platforms to release it on.
>Do you also think Gal Guardians was made because they couldn't make a new gal gun
If it were any other reason, it would be a side show to a new mainline instead of effectively replacing it. SOTD doesn't even do the "bait and switch" and has even less to do with the main series.

>>725219589
>They did fuck up both iX2 and GV3
can you be more specific?

They've been focusing on hypersexed niche new IP for years. Regardless of your view on "censorship" or whatever, they built most of their fanbase by making Mega Man and Mega Man-adjacent games. Dedicating the past several years to trying to get away from that (and doubling down on the sex stuff for the games that audience may potentially like) is what's killing them.

>>725219729
They just need to combine sex with mega man, problem solved.

>>725219681
iX2 filters casuals and GV3 is one of their best games but it filters retards who care about the fucking story for some reason.

>>725219729
Gal*Gun Double Peace was and still is their best-selling game and that was all the way back in 2015. There was no "pivot" to "hypersexed" (castrati rhetoric) material, that's been part of their identity for years. Gal*Gun was part of what put them on the map after Mega Man Zero. Why are there suddenly all these people trying to downplay the focus on fanservice? If anything, their games are more sanitized than they've ever been because of the chilling effect of industry regulations and it's not helping them one bit.

>Still did not fix the Translation issue with Gunvolt 2 and 3 in English(1st one was fucked then fixed but they did not use them for the 2nd and 3rd game)
>Hardly put anything on their youtube channel for Majogami
>The only release that had any acclaim recently was Card-En-Ciel
Really they need to look into more action games and some 3D ones if at all possible. Try to lean into the Card-En-Ciel aesthetic and Fanservice bits.

Majogami looks hideous. It's a shame because i generally enjoy their games.

I am looking forward to this game. I like the whole hack and slash action 3D stuff. Honestly I think more companies need to lean into that or at least SHMUPS like Compile Heart is doing recently.

>>725201943 (OP)
I would like to see Inti stick around, but they really need a return to form, their recent output hasn't been too appealing. Granted, I didn't play Card-en-Ciel which people mostly seem positive about, and I haven't played Majogami but everyone saying it just feels like a worse GV3 isn't making me want to. I really enjoy Curse of the Moon, BMZ and most of Gunvolt so I'd like to see that Inti again, but it's been hard to get excited about a lot of their output.

>>725201943 (OP)
Sold more on Switch digital but ultimately it is inferior to Servants of the Dark

>>725218649
> But my point is that you faggots pretend like the ecchi and fan service parts of these games are the only redeeming quality about them. Maybe that's true for senran kagura but absolutely not for Inti's library.
As someone that has perfected Senran Kagura's mainline series and even it's side series and spin-offs. I can tell you that they do have great storytelling and character development if you have played the games.

>>725221308
*looks terrible

>>725220972
It's basically GV2 experimentation. I did like Card-En-Ciel but that's because of the story and aesthetics. Majogami has interesting gameplay but not the best aesthetics.

>>725221146
Yeah, the stories get surprisingly sad, I have yet to play Estival but the gameplay on Re:newal was solid.

LMAO no. It's the regulations. Fanservice sells a lot more than you think. It worked for Gal-Gun it even worked for other titles, it even works for Gacha to this day. The fact you try to use historical revisionism to justify your love for Megaman is sad.

They always made what you'll call "waifuslop". For the love of God, stop trying to rewrite the history of one of the most open and shamelessly otaku companies in the industry.

>>725215809
They will not. They always censor everything a few months after it comes out and is very tame by modern standards. Plus their gameplay is garbage and floaty.

>>725221810
I've always thought the idea of a "Disgaea musou" was terrible to begin with but some anons seemed to like the concept. Either way this just confirms my thought that the idea is terrible. NIS makes SRPGs, not action games. I think the MC designs look bad and it doesn't have one of the main things I like about the series which is the generics. I don't use unique characters (except Plenair), I like creating my own armies from generics only. It'll probably flop and I'm sure they're doing one of two things right now: making Disgaea 8 if they somehow have the money or filing for bankruptcy (again).

Aizu said they were going to announce sequels this year but they havent announced shit so I'm assuming things are going bad behind the scenes yeah

>>725215659
what game is this?

>>725201943 (OP)
Takaichi will fund companies like this through her new cool Japan initiative that emphasizes ecchi content as what makes Japan unique.

Tried Dragon Marked for Death at release and it was so unbalanced, it was not even playable solo due to timers and damage sponges. I don't know if they fixed the game through patches since then.

After that I kind of stopped caring about Inti games unfortunately.

>>725219952
Copen is such a dull character once you actually start playing the games though.

these fags have not made a single good game since Megaman ZX Advent, im already tired of waiting for them to do something good, just die already

>>725201943 (OP)
>might be forced into making porn to stay afloat
And nothing of value was lost

>>725214787
When has this happened before? You sound like a schizo.

>>725223892
They did fix it, I didn't play the game on release but instead like a year or so after and it was fine solo. Only the higher level versions of each mission started to be a little much but I was fine going through each mission the first time or two. I used Witch as well.

>>725201943 (OP)

You haven't played either game.

>>725226861
>GV3
>automated movement
what

>>725214773
japan's government might be able to stop censorship within japan at least so we might be seeing them go JP-only, but that's still a big "might" if the japanese goverment will actually get off their asses and do something. they said they would support JP products or something but i'm not believing it till i see it. they might at least be able to reign payment processors in

>>725225692
lol.
the game has no score system(it only counts how long you needed to beat the stage) so, there is no incentive to actually play good in any of the stages.
then there is the fact that you actually have to unlock dashing of all things. don't know about double jump or air dash yet, i'm still act 1 and stopped playing because how bad it is.
stages are ridiculously simple put, like, walk from left to right with occasionally beating up some enemies and walk through doors once in a while.
there are some small rooms with platforming, but nothing out of the ordinary.
the bosses are fine though, i'll give them that.

>>725201943 (OP)

INti Create here. Capcom has given us 10 trillion dollars to make Mega Man. We are Ok!!!

>>725229045
... Classic or X?

>>725229045
Make Mega Loli instead.

>>725229045
can you fucking continue the story of ZX please?

>>725202114
It's fun. They took the dash mechanics from Gunvolt 3 and polished them with the stances (as in some enemies can be damaged if you dash at them with Setsuna at the right angle).
>>725204628
If Gunvolt 4 will be a speedrun from 1 to 2 where GV tries to fix everything thanks to the fusion with him and Moebius, then it's not enough. There should be more to this than just GV fixing his fuck-ups in 1 and 2.

>>725229045
Jokes aside, I wonder how well a not-MMZ (or ZX) from Inti would sell. Like, just straight up basic jump slash triple slash huhahu combat without any weird shit. Inti tends to still give their protags the basic Zero kit, but it always takes a backseat to whatever gimmick move they want the player spamming instead.

>>725230870
Nah man, I'm talking about a proper in between game, one that follows up on the secret cliff hanger ending from GV2.

>>725201943 (OP)
They need to stop making mediocre games. Legit they peaked with the zero games, blaster master zero series, And some of the gunvolt series. Rest is legit mediocre.

>>725231740
>Nah man, I'm talking about a proper in between game, one that follows up on the secret cliff hanger ending from GV2.
Or simply instead retcon GV3 into an alternative timeline and instead give us a sequel to 2 that not only follows that, but introduces a new kind of enemy faction.

If the setting of Gunvolt (apart it being GalGun's future) is like X-Men with all those Adepts and their septimal powers, Sumeragi being the personification of the Mutant Registration Act, EDEN being the Brotherhood of Mutants, then we need a faction that is a mix between The Purifiers/Friends of Humanity and the U-Men (where the bosses extract septimas from adepts and use them as their own via stolen Copen tech, which would also force the Adept Hunter to fight them).

I hate to say it but the demo actually put me off. I tried it because I liked the designs but the demo made the game seem like a very simply auto-target fest, which for £30+ is a big ask, especially with how much came out this month.

It sucks because I fucking love witches too, I wanted to like it.

4chan is so retarded holy shit

>>725233232
Anon, that's what he was talking about.

Where the fuck is Mighty no. 9 2 inti? You should make that instead of uninspired coomshit worse gv3. I hate that they ended on a cliffhanger. I loved Becks multiforms.

>>725235583
I assume that would be more up to Inafune than Inti. They may include Beck in their crossover stuff, but I doubt they would make a full on continuation without conman himself on board.

>>725235778
It's been years and I still laugh at the conman mentions

>>725201943 (OP)
Just make Hgame with the artist they have now, pretty sure it will bring them more money

>>725235778
Would it even be possible to make a sequel? Conman is still the action Executive producer/action supervisor for gunvolt, so he still talks with inti creates. He might not even own Mighty no 9 anymore since he sold his company to level 5, but he somehow was able to let them use the characters for gunvolt burst.

>>725201943 (OP)
I just want some kind of Gal Gun style game man, even if they have to change the setting to demon world or a bunch of office worker hags, I don't care about all these mid platformers.

>>725230870

They made it worse with auto targeting and leaving you wide open after you get a hit.

>>725205557
Nta but I thought you meant like a cum tribute or fanart of ejaculating into the hat for some reason

>>725205861
I like the original ASG art style, it was generic anime but almost reminiscent of the MMZ style character proportions somehow.

What's more likely to trigger or just better for Oguri, SFV or Behold Thine Emperor?

>>725201943 (OP)
>>at the beginning of the year they cited budget issues for Gal Guardians Servants of the Dark getting so much content cut
Maybe they should've been honest and released it as an early access game instead of releasing a blatantly unfinished piece of shit game with no warning.

>>725209096
This is one of my biggest reasons for supporting them. I don't love every one of their games, it's annoying that they go full jew on DLC prices, and I really don't agree with some of their MMZXA tier writing decisions, but inti is so soulful that even their slop is soul. I just wish some of their games were longer, but that's about it.

The speedrun focus in this game is weird considering how many enemies are shielded or require a specific approach to kill. Feels like you're better off just skipping anything bigger than basic cannon fodder. I guess there's the combo system that apparently gives you more super meter, but I have not noticed that having any impact so far.

Really should have just had a scoring/ranking system like all the other Intislop.

>>725209543
You laugh, but this is the average super attack from final bosses in Gunvolt games.
>>725209968
DMFD had the genius idea to do what Megaman ZX did and split a full moveset between multiple forms, only now those forms are entirely different characters that you can't hotswap between. I played one or two levels and that was it for me. Shame since the world and characters seemed cool.

>>725237543

>>725239165
>You laugh, but this is the average super attack from final bosses in Gunvolt games.
speaking of which
the super moves for majogami's endgame bosses are hilariously absurd even by inti standards
they all suck to dodge since they're all just a timed QTE button press, but still

Maybe if they make Curse of the moon 3 I'll buy something of theirs again.

>>725211198
Oof

>>725203742
All they have to do is stop being dipshits who kowtow to Steam's policies and release their games on other storefronts like Dragami is doing. Unfortunately Inti adamantly refuses to learn that lesson and instead capitulates and contributes to the problem that is ailing them.

>>725211767
On the one hand yeah it's retarded since the games aren't exactly top sellers, on the other hand they have better voice acting than they probably deserved.

>>725215994
>posts the game with censored Totori

>>725214773
NIS haven't made anything worth a damn for years and jumped all in on day one on-disc DLC nickel and diming with Disgaea 3 and Disgaea 6 going 3D was a full retard decision for them. They were never fanservice-oritented and if anything Disgaea Mobile (which went strong in Japan) was them shifting in that direction.
NIS also contributed to the problem by allowing NISA to be incompetent censorious fuckwads for two decades without ever giving them a smack in the head and telling them to cut that shit out.

they can go fuck themselves to be honest. I have all 3 gunvolts on steam but because I didn't purchase the gunvolt remastered collection or whatever the first week it was out, I no longer get a discount and have to pay full price for it. Unironically suck my dick. They could've easily give a perma discount to current owners of the trilogy

>>725239556
It's kind funny really, Inti has a broad appeal because they make a bunch of different but solid games, but because they won't sit the fuck down and concentrate on certain things, they'll leave some series in a drought or stumble around clearly not sure what they're aiming for, and that's if they don't pull a Gunvolt and fundamentally change everything for no particularly solid reason besides "people liked the murder autist more", which didn't spare that from a total polarizing shift either. Curse of the Moon were an excellent pair of games, better than the straight up CV1 and 2 homages in Bloodstained itself, but even despite a new Bloodstained on the way, there's neither hide nor hair of Inti being involved with anything again to keep things interesting.

>>725239649
PC is a dead platforms only chinks care about anon, inti is smart simply pivoting to nintendo instead.

all they need is some weeb arab to invest

>>725240325

That's because people realized what we've been telling you all along: you can just watch porn instead.

Am I missing something? Those are all very ecchi. Not that its a bad thing, I love ecchi games and its part of the reason I love those. Perhaps this was just bait and I got baited I guess

>>725242107
This, I don't want to see generic fucking. I want funny hijinks and sexy girls

it's why I like alicesoft, they're porn makers but they aren't afraid to have fun. Generic porn is boring if can't even give a shit about the characters

>>725241921
Ender Magnollia/Lillies are just nice, well-made metroidvanias or whatever you call em. Good art and sound direction, world, character designs, and so on. Exploration is pretty good and combat is fun enough. Not brutally challenging but not push-over easy, they felt challenging enough to be engaging in my opinion. They have that bleak and desolate world vibe going on so that's subjective but I liked it. Also Lilac and Lilly are cuties.

Disgaea really isn't that grindy when you're just doing the story missions, it's really only in the postgame when you want to get into all that. I'd recommend maybe giving the later EO titles on 3DS a try if you couldn't get into the older ones. The first two are kind of weak but from 3 onward is when the series really got good. Unless you just don't like dungeon crawler altogether then maybe they're just not for you. While they're not as "otaku-y" I'd recommend FF Tactics and Tactics Ogre if you like SRPGs and haven't played any versions of them yet.

>>725216626
>region-locked
Fucking GOG, knew they would pull this shit.

>>725242902
Where are you seeing a region lock?

>>725242369
Well, they're not really the same level of ecchi as some other games so I wouldn't consider them as such. They do have some semi-revealing anime girls but it's not really the focus. Sakuna is wholesome, there's nothing revealing in that game. "Ecchi" is more referring to stuff like GalGun or Senran Kagura.

>>725243107
Where the game isn't available in my region and GOG hides it from the storefront. They do this all the time with adult games but doing it for a console game is a first.

>>725216146
Literally the only things on this list worth supporting are Ender Lilies and Dolls nest

>>725243325

>>725230870
Yes.

It should help GV understand he did nothing wrong killing sumeragi and eden scum. It doesn't fucking matter that they had a boohoo backstory. If someone is trying to kill you, show them the same amount of love.

>>725243591
NTA but IX1 deleted his personality which is sad

>>725243591
No, I mean in gameplay. He has almost nothing going on in terms of scoring, it's just "kill enemies one by one with your one good subweapon and don't touch the ground" over and over again.

>>725231960
Trying to make a deckbuilder in a hypercompetitive genre might not have been the best move

>>725242861
Liliac has sh*rt hair and I don't like that though... I bought it when it first came out but I still haven't touched it hoping to find out she'd get longer hair later in-game.

>>725201943 (OP)
Why did it did so bad? It's not like iX2 or Umbraclaw who were very bad games.

>>725244463
"don't touch the ground" makes it good when you have copen's movement

>>725244463
Skill issue and/or genuine moron who doesn't understand the fun of going fast.

>>725244463
If you want to tryhard with him there's the one trick where you overlap a regular kill and an EX kill together for extra points, iirc that works in every game from GV2 to iX2 (but is hardest in iX2 since you don't have stellar spark).

>>725243167
Oh I gotcha, I see what you mean. Ecchi isn't the main focus but its still there for sure. I'd argue Disgaea is pretty much an ecchi anime though, gameplay aside. At least the ones I have played.
>Sakuna is wholesome, there's nothing revealing in that game
We are talking about the drunken loli, rice planting game right? Because there is absolutely ecchi in that game. Perhaps if you have no interest what so ever in lolis I can see why you'd think it doesn't.

>>725244567
Kirin goes way faster, requires more execution and you have to actually pay attention to positioning if you want to get good ranks.

>>725201943 (OP)
Do they make good games tho?

>>725244776
the ranks in gv3 just use stupidly high numbers. if you ever lose the 4x multiplier it's basically impossible to get a good rank.
that has nothing to do with how fun the game is to play

>>725201943 (OP)
Aside from Blaster Master and outsourced jobs, everything they make is a disappointment. Not surprised in the slightest

>>725244463

A lot of them. Problem is that they fuck around a lot too and end making things like Umbraclaw as well.

>>725244776
>Kirin goes way faster,
lmao no she doesn't retard, you think noclipping across the stage is fast but there's no weight, no momentum, no sense of speed

Arc Chain is a dogshit mechanic.

>>725244776
You're talking out of your ass anon, Kirin is not even 1/10th as execution heavy or as fast as Copen

>>725245036
there's a stage that literally requires glitches to get S++
how does that make the game better

The game bombed on Nintendo consoles too though.

>>725243642
>niche / smaller Japanese games
>shills Hyke, which is developed by fucking Akatsuki and published by Aniplex
Small sales doesn't make it a small game

>>725245196
Only in the challenge mode, which was likely an oversight. IIRC turns out it is possible to get max rank without glitches so there's that.

>>725245169
Dude... how? With Copen you can just keep bouncing on surfaces to keep the aerial bonus and you only have to think about enemies individually, with Kirin you have one chance to do the optimal move once you Arc Chain and that's it. Even Gunvolt requires more since you often have to switch targets really quick to get the most kudos.

>>725245607
>hides from the post talking about movement
lmao

Do you kill the enemies in Majogami?

>>725245718
What about the movement? You can just bounce on the ground or walls to not lose bullits, it only gets tricky when there are slopes.

>>725244629
I can assure you that I have interest in loli anon but Sakuna is a very tame game. Of course it got plenty of R18 fanart but that's another thing.

>>725245284
I'm assuming it had a very small budget so I don't mind shilling it since I thought it was a nice little game.

Nobody gives a shit about IX2 or GV3.

GV3 requires more execution when you get into like, arc chain cancels and arc chain extensions

Nigga, nobody gives a shit about any of these games. The series has been around for over 10 years and most people still think they're like Mega Man.

>>725246643
It's a technique that lets you mash out sword swings so fast that you kill bosses before they can do anything. Nothing you'll notice on a casual playthrough.

>>725201943 (OP)
MMZ1-4 were amazing but I feel they lost something after that. Even the ZX series was weaker. It just feels like this company never found it's real footing. Gunvolt had potential but it failed to reach it and visually it felt boring. Blaster Master was the closest imo in getting close again to greatness but every other game they make just doesn't do it for me.
You would think this is one of those underdog devs that despite not selling a lot of units, their games are filled with talent and originality but no, it feels like they don't know their own strengths or how to stick to s vision. Aesthetically and tonally their games can be a total mess that never lets me sink my teeth into the grimmer aspects of their worlds since the other half is being self-indulgent with silly tropes popular among modern otaku, it's a mess.

>>725246473
>there are people who think iX2 Copen is more fun because you cut things in half.
Those are not people. A real human bean would never call the botched copen in IX2 fun

Sad.
Talk about 成れの果て.

>>725247293
it has to be wanted for it to reach that price

>>725248708
But there's been plenty of shit games that cost over $1000 dollars

The real reason if if they had low print runs. And since pretty much most games are digital nowadays. Those prices don't really happen anymore

>>725238887
I'll be damned if Dragon's Crown isn't Vanillaware's best work but by God, I'll support every game they put out no matter what.

>>725240325
That's South Korea. For Japanese content usually China makes up 25% unless it's Visual Novels which China makes up 53% of that genre.

>>725249782
No, he means 95% of the sales came from chinksect bugmen.

>>725202114
too gimmicky for me

>>725214773
>Why? Because Reiwa otaku have shown they are not willing to invest in anything but gacha and VTubers. So even if they DO make those ecchi games again, going through hell and high water to push through all the censorship, they will be rewarded with 10k sales at best. So at this point, why even try? And I think that's the mindset most of them have adopted, which is why you see their output getting lazier and lazier quality-wise, on top of not having the budget they used to.
This is the reality we are in right now. Outside of Qureate, Inti Creates and maybe a game from D3Publishing we are seeing them just make the standard titles even if there is censorship and I think most just know that Gacha is the future because it makes money and is not beholden to a much Censorship regulations as say a single payer game.

>>725250227
Give it some time, Europe is about to brand Gacha games as just simple gambling and hold them to those very same standards and taxes. I wonder what will be the tune of all of those devs who spend all that they had on gacha development once that comes to pass.

>>725231267
Considering a no-name chinese Vtumor MMZX had more players than Majogami, easily their best seller.

>>725250746
Even something like Gravity Circuit shows that people would be in the market for some huuhaahoo.

It's pretty grim if they're using that site and not all the Megaman Youtubers...

>>725251418
>all the Megaman Youtubers...
Inti hasn't made anything remotely relevant to them since MGB

>>725251418
Inti can't use megaman tubers because nothing they make nowadays appeals to them, Gunvolt is dead

So do enemies become aggressive in the full game or is it nothing but those paper talismans that just sit there and do nothing?

>>725251848
>>725251923
They're all bored out of their minds from lmao ports so they'd redeem the Steam key anyway.

>>725250467
Even if they do, they will just change it to be a basic GAAS no different than TF2 and CSGO. Which means the chance mechanics are gone and you would still need to pay into their system.

>>725251258
The game this thread is about has a character with fucking Goku's VA. I can't imagine how much that cost.

>>725247208
I will say the 1st one is not so bad considering it's for children and it has some interesting mechanics on top of the Farming Sim genre. Second one is very iffy just because it feels kind of standard and template.

>>725253139
That's a cherry pick. Of course China loves Monster Hunter as does Japan. Most Westerners do not care for it much as it's sort of a game that you have to love the core concept of it to begin with.

>>725251258
Inti suffers from the same issue like Falcom, IE: they should stop jerking jap vas and put that money into games.

>>725250227
>and is not beholden to a much Censorship regulations
reminder gachaslop to this day hasnt shown a single pantyshot if its from chinks or gooks

All things considered it's surprisingly hard to find ecelebs that aren't antijapan and wont instantly pull the "ew icky" card at the slightest fanservice.

>>725203742

How about making games that don't suck?

the normal enemies are cunts. you have to constantly play around them and most of them damage you if you teleport slash them

>>725251949
I took a hit from an enemy in the tutorial and it comboed me for half my HP on hard mode. It's actually pretty hard to avoid dying, but there's not much penalty for death either (you just respawn at the beginning of the screen you died on).

>>725243430
Etrian odyssey is great, one of the best dungeon crawler series, fuck you.

>>725253709
It is great, what's not great is Atlus shitting out lazy ports that are overpriced, added Denuvo to them post-launch, and demonstrated they don't give a single fuck about atmosphere when they butchered the fonts.

>>725239165
To be fair to ZX I never really felt "wanting", so to speak, when using any individual form. I think most of them stood well enough on their own.

>>725201943 (OP)
It's time to make curse of the moon 3. I don't think I have ever cared about anything else from their offerings. I liked mega man zero and their megaman entries (even if they wanked 2) though. Maybe they're actually better at making licensed games LOL

>>725253935
それは違う

>>725253782
I thought they were good ports overall with a lot of good QoL adjustments that helped bring them closer to the 3DS games. My only issue with the font initially was the battle commands not being in all capital letters but they changed it for the final release so I was okay with the font overall. Denuvo is an issue for PC users but I bought them on Switch so it wasn't an issue for me personally. They were pretty pricey I suppose but it's a niche series and sometimes you gotta pay up. Well, the games are valuable to me at least. A lower price point may have helped get more new fans into the series however. I'll still always at least shill 3 to newcomers if it's on sale.

>>725253782
>added Denuvo to them post-launch,
They were always going to have Denuvo, Atlus/Sega have a special deal with Denuvo where they can use it forever. The only sega game to get it removed outright was Sonic mania and that's only because the devs themselves bitched so hard sega just threw their hands up and said fine.

>>725232968

Didnt every vtuber on the face of the Earth played this game? I remember seeing a bunch of Hololive vtubers playing this.

>>725201943 (OP)
I literally never heard of the game until now.
So there's that.

>>725255045
Yeah, it did sell very well but I just really like the game so there's no harm in shilling it.

>>725254961
Yohane is definitely the more polished game in almost every way but it's just so barebones.

>>725254961
Not played the Love Live metroidvania, but yeah. SotD's skill progression was fucked. Even the first Gal Guardians had better ability progression, rather than making necessary weapons pickups and every upgrade is both grindable and just another jump or dash.

>>725203742
>>725214773
Yes it's all due to le heckin' panty genocide. Not their so-called flagship series committing suicide twice, not the string of underwhelming to straight up bad or unfinished games in recent years, not the leadership not having the slightest clue on how to manage a project or the company as a whole without outside help. No, all of those wouldn't matter if they did the exact same shit but with more panty shots and a crumb of cunny.

>>725250467
Europe alone won't be enough to kill gacha games. They make most of their revenue from Asian customers. Even if the entire west bans them, they will have no compunctions just region-locking them to Asia/Japan and would take only a small hit to their revenue at best. Only if Japan itself bans them would you see them take a major hit and possibly die.

>>725256060
>Yes it's all due to le heckin' panty genocide. Not their so-called flagship series committing suicide
Gal*Gun was one of their flagships, retard. Why do you think they complain so much about not being able to make it any more?

is inti really going to rely on a switch 2 version of card en ciel to carry them for the next 6 months? doesn't seem like they have anything else announced...

>>725256461
I mean, unless you want to cope think the next thing they teased at the end of Majogami is Kingdom

then yeah they got nothing

>>725202114
No, they haven't made even a remotely decent game since mega man 9. They've become an ironic weeb company like compile heart, except compile heart is actually trying to get their shit together now so even that's not a fair comparison.

Just as a heads up, your constant whining tells me exactly what threads you're here for and they're all complete and utter cancer. Hopefully everything you like continues to die off and you can find some other board to ruin.

If you see me all the time you're constantly in extremely shitty threads. That's how this works.

This. Gunvolt had it's ups and downs but killing it before it even reached its full potential was one of the most retarded moves I've seen a company ever do. And I don't even understand WHY they did it

>>725256128
>region-locking them to Asia/Japan and would take only a small hit to their revenue at best.
>what is Umamusume
Also, no. Europe and specially England love to export their misery. See why everybody will have the same biometric IDs required to use the internet next year.

>>725257115
Not even charting on famitsu when the 30th ranked spot was only 1600. 80 concurrent players still almost certainly means it eclipsed whatever its tiny sales were on consoles.

>>725257361
Uma Musume was a massive hit in Japan before anyone ever even floated the idea of a global release.

I might be one of the only people that genuinely liked Mighty number 9. I even have the Platinum trophy for that game and this game introduced me to inti creates. I knew about Gunvolt and it looked interesting but only after playing Mighty number 9 that I finally started buying Inti creates games.

>>725257882
Any tips for the platinum? What's the best form and why is it Battalion?

>>725256819
If this can get on steam just fine anything can.
Sure they have to play by new rules but thats a fine price with how retarded the systems in place are.

Just do what they do, gut the game and make an offsite patch for any retarded hentai plot they wanna do.

Alright I tried the demo again and I think I'll give the game a try. Also for that fish/oni yuri that I've seen posted.

>>725258119
If they were willing to do that, they would have made Gal*Gun 3 already.

>>725257882
Did platinum require that one "go through the whole game without dying" challenge? I never managed to do that one. I liked MN9 but I didn't quite like it that much.

>>725258182
They wouldn't even have to patch gal gun 3. All the gal guns are on steam. The reason they don't make it is because gal gun 2 sold like crap.

>>725258365
Buddy, LoveR Kiss just got banned from Steam and that's not half as lewd and shameless as Gal*Gun. Inti Creates themselves did an interview last summer where they said they can't release new Gal*Gun games to Steam because Steam isn't the same as it was even a few years ago.

>>725258583
Steam was always the same.
The only difference is if you get Mary.

>>725258583
They lost me the moment they said nintendo. At best they would only be able to sell that in japan and even then nintendo might censor it. On steam even if they are worried they could just make a patch and still make the game they want to make. Steam accepts the most degenerate shit.
Also, meant gal gun returns, not gal gun 2. Gal gun returns sold like crap.

>>725259007
As I said, if Inti were willing to do that, they wouldn't be so pessimistic about being able to release it on Steam.
>Gal gun returns sold like crap.
Sold better than any of their modern releases.

>>725205682
>anon spent over 13 hours in the wage cage
damn son, that's a long shift.

>>725258289
>go through the whole game without dying" challenge?
Yes actually, it wasnt as hard as I originaly thought, I either died at the begining in the fire stage or at the very end where you need to use Call. There was a particular jump that I hated and if I failed was insta death, but after practicing that part it became not that hard, maybe 6-7 tries total.
>>725258080
That Platinum is genuine bullshit, definetily not a 5/10 one, more like 8-9/10 in terms of difficulty. The only tip I can give is to watch the agdq playthrough, it has some nice strategies there that I used when trying to beat on hyper difficulty and doing the speedrun.

>>725259361
I can understand they'd be worried about being denied, steam's review process is far from perfect, but they have options. And concerns over a school setting is not what's preventing them from selling. Thing have just changed. There's a hell of a lot more competition now and if people want lewd games they can get actual lewd games. Inti is stuck in a mediocre wishy-washy middleground.

>>725201943 (OP)
im gonna buy all of the gunvolt OST rights and use them for my game

>at the very end where you need to use Call. There was a particular jump that I hated and if I failed was insta death, but after practicing that part it became not that hard, maybe 6-7 tries total.
Yeah, I remember trying it once and dying there. That stage is really difficult to be doing in a marathon challenge.

>>725259738
Also, if valve really had a problem with it, they would've removed these games when payment processors were attacking them.

Porn isn't lewd games bro. Lewd vidya is totally fucked right now, is either porn or super sexless wokeslop.

>>725260474
>super sexless wokeslop
"Wokeslop" isn't afraid to be sexual, just in a way that doesn't pander to straight men (the "male gaze"). You can have gay sex with a bear and watch a mocapped sex scene with a roided up butch, but cute anime girls in a bikini are "rape culture". It's all about who the game is targeting. You are not allowed to directly target straight men as a demographic because they are second-class citizens in the modern game industry.

>>725260795

>>725260927
Unless it's literal porn because ???. Although, I'm sure that the recent "anti rape and incest" initiative on Steam would have went further if it was actually successful.

>>725261250
The "literal porn" has to be censored to oblivion too just to be on Steam, unless it's "ironic" memeshit like Sex with Hitler. Just because many of the publishers found a way to deal with it doesn't mean it isn't being targeted. Evenicle 2 being banned despite having a demo and the first game being accepted was a wakeup call that killed Alicesoft and sent a harsh message to the rest of the eroge and VN developers.

>>725259007
>and even then nintendo might censor it.

>>725261479
>>The "literal porn" has to be censored to oblivion too just to be on Steam
No it doesn't. The only thing that needs a patch is content involving minors. Steam accepts the most degenerate content dlsite has to offer. Including loli games as long as they're patched.

>>725261594
Anyone who says 'NDS' is a deluded Nintendo cultist.

>>725261673
>The only thing that needs a patch is content involving minors
Steam has an extremely broad definition of what constitutes "minor exploitation" in Japanese games, which is why you see VNs and eroges that don't even have lolis still using the patch method just to be safe.

>>725261740
>Already throwing a tantrum because people keep calling you out.

>>725259361
Man, I still need to find non-sample scans of all this art

That example is why people shit on mary. It's easily the least defensible of the bans. But it doesn't change the sheer amount of porn and degeneracy that can be found on steam. Thousands of porn games are on steam, many straight from dlsite, but people, rightfully, just raise a huge stink when one gets denied and that's what people hear about. It's pretty good odds and you can always play it safe.

Steam literally has no issue with porn shit as long as you don't include pedofaggotry, you retarded disingenuous weebtranny. We have turd like Sex with Hitler on Steam for fuck's sake. Nobody is falling for your made-up plight. Go play victim somewhere else.

there's a difference between making an actual good game and sprinkling waifus here and there versus making a shit game and expecting waifufaggotry to he its selling point. Look at the Blaster Master Zero games those are good games and they have waifus here and there but the entire focus of the game isn't "LOOK AT THIS ANIME WOMAN PLEASE BUY OUR GAME"

>>725264058
I already bought all the owls

>>725264423
Then keep finding other treasures and pray they're power words. I think treasures in the later worlds have more power words than the earlier worlds. Also if you haven't beat the game yet, that unlocks a lot more owls to buy.

>>725264395
If they made a good game and sprinkled it with waifus, you'd call it "waifuslop" anyway. I've been through this with Xenoblade 2 to know how disingenuous this argument is by now. The people that argue like this genuinely do not believe that anything that advertises itself with anime girls and/or fanservice can possibly be good. It's an instinctual aversion based on a backwards version of the "sex sells" logic.

Xenoblade 2 is objectively a fantastic, well-made game with only a few flaws that you were told to believe is bad because it dares to shamelessly pander to the male gaze on top of being good. Xenoblade 2 is quite possibly the most heretical game in recent memory because it's mere existence is a middle finger to the western "critical" consumer mindset.
>>725265120
Merely proving my point. The exact same webms and arguments, every single time, to try and appeal to some "cringe" impulse, forgetting that the game's audience enjoys this and is not ashamed of it, only you are, because it wasn't for you and that makes you seethe. There is no game that acts as a better filter for midwit oversocialized retards than Xenoblade 2.

>>725258119
This is the fundamental problem. These mid-tier Japanese companies see themselves as above porn and refuse to cut down their games in the same way porn games are doing in order to get them released, and then they get fucked for it either by being rejected or by having their game slapped with an adults only sexual content label regardless because that's what Mary the puritan sees their product as. They'd sooner fall with their pride than let it go.

The Prinny duology is more kino than any action platformer Inti ever shat out.

>Fanservice sells a lot more than you think.
Not really, it just has a dedicated niche. Gen z is more opposed to fanservice than even the boomers are.

>>725265274
>The exact same webms and arguments, every single time
It's almost like the game has the same problems as when it came out since it didn't change since then.

>>725265994
The things you complain about are literally not a problem to the game's audience, you just seethe because they mean the game wasn't made for you. Posting anime_humor.webm for the 50000th time isn't going to make Xenoblade 2 any less of a fantastic game on its own terms.

>>725221820
You're shitposting but there unironically are a lot of cases like this. Ecchi is a dying genre outside of gacha which almost goes past ecchi right into softcore porn.

>>725227210
Honestly you could post this in a Rabi-Ribi thread and be mostly or entirely correct

>>725266106
>which almost goes past ecchi
The most risque gacha games on the market today struggle to hold a candle to Senran Kagura or Compile Heart games that released a decade ago. None of them are nearly as outrageous and many of them fall squarely into "safe horny" territory as well, especially the Korean and Chinese ones which must play around their government's anti-porn laws.

>We'll always have Zero/ZX.
I wish Capcom would give them something to do already. Even if it was something smaller like a 16 bit style X9 or something.

Bro, your X8 demake?

>>725201943 (OP)
You get what you fucking deserve

>>725267381
"I wish Capcom would give them something to do already." As in Inti Creates specifically.

>>725201943 (OP)
Inti should just make eroge. They'd have an actual budget and somewhat sort of know how to make an actual game. They'd have a head and shoulders advantage above all the other porn games that are currently crushing them in sales.

>>725266503
Sure, but they're not gonna spend money on something they can watch for free

This is Criminal Girls, right? I hate to think these games will probably never see a non-butchered English release because of NISA snatching them up.
I miss Imageepoch. They were one of the most soulful Japanese B-tier publishers and one of the few that published on Nintendo consoles back then. I'll always cherish Stella Glow and Luminous Arc. At least they didn't have to experience the whole industry suddenly turning on them like so many others like them did.

>>725268276
Criminal Girls 2.

you can patch the eng script over the jap script thru jailbreak is the closest you can come to. the 'word art' remains in jap

During the last Steam Next Fest their English translation guy said on their live stream that they're relatively close to revealing a new game. In the same stream he re-confirmed that playable Copen in GV3 for Trilogy Enhanced and online co-op for SotD are still coming.

>>725268879
Point still stands, they've failed to captalize on both ends.

>>725255045
>Did the game still sold poorly even after all vtuber shilling?
It sold a million copies on release and it's either 1.5 or 2 million now. Not bad for a indie team of less than five people.

>>725269241
That's simply what having actual passion looks like

>>725269212
Yeah the point that you are a retard still stands.

>>725201943 (OP)
I haven't bought a game from them since Gal Guardians because I'm in financial trouble myself kek

>>725269369
I'm sure Nintendo themselves shilling it at E3 and Directs had no impact whatsoever.

I might of excessively shattened upon Majogami. It feels like shit for the first couple of worlds but once you get used to its quirks it's pretty decent if not without issues. I like how once you learn the bosses you get plenty of opportunity to rape them with setsuna spam, even if there are a few too many attacks that you have to wait through despite them clearly deliberately incentivising offense

I feel like most of the issue i have with this game is just the visual style and animations making it very unclear at times when a hurtbox is going to suddenly appear and sometimes it's just bullshit. The camera is often a little too close too i think

Still, they tried and made a decent non-Metroidvania so it's a shame this isn't selling. It's better than the shit they've put out in the last couple years

>>725269898
Does Inti's shit not get enough shilling, is that what you're saying? Maybe that's something they should do something about, if they aren't too cheap for it.

>>725269980
>It feels like shit for the first couple of worlds but once you get used to its quirks it's pretty decent if not without issues.
You know this is literally what iX2 was like too, people shit on that game despite the fact it's really fun when you get good at it. Most people end up just bruteforcing their way through the game without learning how it works and then not even bothering to play hard mode (which is fair because not only is it a hidden unlock but the difficulty spike is insane)

>>725270230
>he difficulty spike is insane
Probably their hardest game yet, iX2's hard mode does not fuck around.

>>725270370
A big part as to why people dislike iX2 is because of the way they handled the difficulty, they tried to offset the high difficulty by giving the players a bunch of OP tools to bruteforce through the game, so people just use those which completely undermines the point of the game.
Same with the fact they had to patch in an assist toggle for hard mode after launch just so that people not willing to git gud could actually "beat" hard mode and view the true ending.

Considering playing the copen games again but man this gunvolt shit is ZERO fun if you arent going for score but at the same time Im not in the mood to go for score most of the time.

I wish games were satisfying to play on a base level like MMZ, DMC or NG before you choose to aim for score play in later runs.

>>725270576
>>725270370
it's so funny how that game starts off as the usual impossible-to-lose gunvolt gameplay and then slaps you in the face with a fucking lives system out of nowhere

>>725270230
>if I just condition myself long enough I can gaslight myself into thinking it's good
No, it's pretty bad.

>>725270846
I still think iX1 is the better game but iX2 is not a bad game at all. It's biggest sin is that it punishes the player by making the game less fun when you fuck up.

>>725271076
Matt was really the only person on their localization team who wasn't completely retarded, huh? At least he managed to stick around long enough to keep that from happening to Prado too.

>>725271076
girls calling themselves prince or king is a pretty common trope these days in asian media.

>>725271076
dropped

>>725270230
I think iX2 is also better than the stuff they've made in the last couple of years, it's a bit boring when you're trying to build score at first but it isn't irredeemable shit or even particularly bad. It just looked worse because their output at the time was good. Also the boss fights are quality for the most part

I never managed to finish hard mode. I got to the final boss but the first phase before the real boss begins is boring to replay over and over so i dropped it

>>725270987
iX2 suffers from Inti being nostalgic about MMZ and decided "What if we just did the robots and saber and desert and Neo Arcadia all over again" thus turning Copen into this weird Frankenstein of himself and Zero, except it only came out worse than either of them.
Thread is dying and I have more problems than I can bother to write out at this stage, so take that hyper condensed gripe.

The japanese text also refers to the character as "him", stop making shit up

yes retard

>>725272601
Then leave, tourist

>>725272343
The closest the JP dialogue gets to calling her a boy is her yelling "I am a boy" in one of the lines that the English version ironically cut

Itsuka is unambiguously a woman, picrel

>>725272635
stay mad about your pozzed slop flopping lol

>>725272660
And the english version also makes it clear that it is a woman that is delusional in thinking she is a prince instead. You know the entire point of the game being that the witches are crazy people?
