>because they think all foreigners pirate rejet CDs, and they are the reason for their shit sales
This is always stupid because foreigners weren't part of their demographic in the first place. Just the fact that some people pirate their shit, make it more well-known through reviews and word of mouth, also makes it more likely that other foreigners will buy. Even if it's just a few, they are getting extra sales they wouldn't have otherwise.

But anyway every industry now blames piracy instead of just making better games. For example lately eroge are the lowest effort they've ever been, with both poor writing and poor production values. Even domestic sales are low because people are realizing paying full price (9k+ yen) is simply not worth it anymore. Everyone company now is using this an excuse to get into mobile shit, which surprisingly, people are getting higher standards for lately and obviously companies who didn't put effort into retail games will fail in the mobage market.

Basically everyone is salty they couldn't rip off everyone for a cheap buck.

I wonder if PC eroge will become an even more niche hobby with the rise of mobage. It's not like you can have actual porn in a phone company's app store and side-loading is somehow too technical for most people.

I'm not familiar with touken ranbu or kancolle. Do they both have no story/narrative/interaction with the characters whatsoever? What's the point then? It's not like these types of games have amazing gameplay anyway, how can you care about the characters if they don't do anything with them?

they were the first big boy/girl collectors and became self-sustaining. The gameplay is no-skill grinding (which is a plus for some people) with events where it all "pays off"

>>23761214
>Do they both have no story/narrative/interaction with the characters whatsoever?
Nope, just a couple of lines. Tkrb at least has the recollection(?) stuff that is a small scene that happens when two swords are paired into a sortie, either swords that have some relation to each other or sometimes it's whatever the devs thought up (like tanuki and otegine).
Like >>23761268 said both of them are really old, they barely manage to stay relevant because they have people that spent too much time on their characters to leave. In the case of kancolle it's pure masochism though, tanaka treats his players like absolute garbage and you have no legit reason to play it anymore other than really deep sunk cost

>> No.23763796

>>23761268
>>23761289
That reminds me: I can imagine that most Kancolle players switched to Azur lane cause from what I understand it has the same premise but with more interesting gameplay, but with Touken ranbu I can't think of a game with that specific historical niche that would offer more. Most historical mobile games I can think of like Ikemen Sengoku are simplistic and strictly geared towards the otome audience.

Risks splitting the fanbase but that's probably the best solution. Or they can do what PAD has done and gradually update their systems to keep up with modern trends. If the framework is solid, they can probably add features instead of re-doing it from the ground up. No idea what their codebase is like though; might need a re-write to support features if it's sloppy. If that's the case, then maybe a second version would be better since it could attract new/lapsed players to offset the costs.

>> No.23764348

>>23763817
The stageplays are quite literally what's more or less keeping tkrb alive desu, but as somebody who really doesn't care about 2.5d shit I really would wish they did something in terms of proper characterization or a story within the actual game.
Swords had such a nice concept and nicely designed swords (still does to be fair) but being stuck in early 2015's kusoge format just really puts you off. I can't imagine going back to it at all anymore.
What's worse is that despite being a barely playable game, from what I've seen they've amped up the grinding and that's pretty annoying.
It makes me sad that tkrb still has plenty of potential but the devs are too stubborn to move on from that old kancolle formula and make it actually feel like an interactive game.
>>23764029 and >>23764029 have the right idea but it would definitely split up the fanbase. Although they could always do what enstars did.

>> No.23765569

SideM was able to shift away from a kusoge to a more typical rhythm mobage without destroying its fanbase
It shouldn't be hard for tkrb to do the same. But the issue is that I don't think they have any real motivation to do so. Only recently have they added anything meaningful to the game like alternate costumes.

>The End

Nice route but I knew this ending was going to be rushed. Another route with a whole bunch of padding until an infodump right at the end leaving you (and MC) out of the loop. ANOTHER route where the bad guy revealed himself at the end making the whole process of tracking him down feel like a waste. Getting real sick of how in almost EVERY route the climax involves MC or whomever getting kidnapped to move it along. Also getting real sick of this:

Guys: Yeah we just threw you in a situation where you almost lost your life but it was all according to keikaku, aren't we kakkoii?
MC: In the end, my actions didn't matter and I was completely useless! Next time I will ganbarimasu!

It's so fucked up how these supposed law enforcement keep setting her up for missions but not tell her all the details so she gets shot at or has to break through glass and run around bleeding. I know that police are shitty by default but I'm going to start hating them at this rate. It's a shame that the story had to be wrapped up with this rehash. It needed another episode of Hiyama and Matorichan working together, to show how he trusts her, and to give the case proper closure instead of an offscreen text dump.


I think the only route so far with a satisfying conclusion was Maki's. And maybe Kirishima's too, though the climax was kind of dumb for other reasons.

The only thing that could be considered fanservice in Ryza is her design and Lila's design (the ugliest and most pointless atelier character of all time and should be deleted), but the game itself is surprisingly void of any fanservice. Even coomers complain about how they got baited by Ryza's design and how boring (pure) the game actually is.

Not sure if anyone has played Kintouka since I've never seen anyone mention it and only found it by chance on vndb, but I just finished all the good ends (there's still bad ends I gotta get through though). It was really fucking long for a game with only 4 routes but it was pretty good. Having just finished it, I think I felt like there'd be more to Tsukasa's route than there actually ended up being though I am glad they actually let him die at the end, a cop out would have felt totally against any themes about grief and moving on the game was supposed to have.

It was really wholesome for a BL game honestly, all the ero scenes were like missionary position sex with the characters saying they love each other. I've not done many bad ends yet though (I left them until afterwards because they would have made me too sad if I had read them at my max investment) so there might be something fucked up in those I haven't seen yet.

None of the boys do anything wrong except for Munesada, who is not even really that bad for the character type he is. Why is it always dependable-seeming big brother types? But in general, I was surprised how nice and loving they tended to be to Souta because I am used to abuse-fests with joseimuke VNs, especially when they're R18 (alternately they have hardly any romance content at all and leave all that stuff right until the end). Souta was a qt and it was nice how deredere he was to his love interests also.

Everyone sure does cry and hug and talk about their feelings a lot though. I don't even think people are this open in the western country I'm from. Pretty sure like every character gets multiple crying CGs.

Hey so I'm trying to recall the name of this otome. It was a series of games, each named after two flowers with two guy per game where the plot was essentially over the course of a year a highschool girl enters a romance with one (or both of the guys since there was a 3P route) dude who is at least 6 years older than her. I've been trying to find it again but I can only remember the flowers rather than the name of the game itself, anyone got a clue?

Serious answer is that the trend of low quality mcs with non descript design, no voice, no agency that merely react to stimuli came to be because companies were appealing to self inserters.

Yes, I known. People shit on female (or just yaoi fans in general) but the only "shitstorm" I can think is the TG one and even that one felt largely overstated.

Meanwhile, you'll have problem finding a female character who didn't get called a slut because she talked to a man who isn't the MC (Or marries someone when she doesn't get chose)

To be fair, the author gave the two male characters a hot making out session and the main character did take responsibility.
Jokes aside, only desperate fujos and shounentards kept reading that shit of a sequel, so imagine being baited into reading something like that for nothing.

To be fair, not everyone would be able to go on after finding out that he's been just a tool his entire life and every evil he committed, everyone he lost, and years of suffering weren't for "the greater good" at all. He was unknowingly helping someone whose batshit final goal was something that went against everything Senge believed in. And finding out the truth won't change anything, he'll spend the rest of his life agonizing over that fact, his sins won't disappear either. His final days will also be filled with torture and hallucinations due to him feeling the consequences of the curse. And his boyfriend who's basically become his caretaker in the FD will have to see him slowly lose his mind. There are no happy endings for him.
I can't tell if the writer hates or loves him, but that's hot
