According to Atlus, 13 Sentinels has exceeded their sales expectations and become very successful. What went right? I thought it was going to be a tough sell?

>During its opening week, all retail versions of the game sold just over 34,200 units, debuting in fifth place in the charts.[56] These low sales were blamed by Kamitani on the game's blend of genres, difficult production, and releasing alongside other popular titles.[57] While initial sales were low, positive word of mouth from both players and other industry figures caused sales to increase, resulting in stock shortages.[57][58] It remained in the top 30 best-selling titles into January, with total physical sales of nearly 59,500 units.[59] By this point, physical and digital sales had reached 100,000 units.[60] In their fiscal report, Atlus said that 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim exceeded their sales expectations.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of it was word of mouth about it having a ridiculous plotline.
as long as it comes to pc it's good that it's selling. I don't trust sony to not have fucked with it, even if I haven't heard about them fucking with it.

woulda bought it if it had actual gameplay

2. 13 Sentinels was such a disaster of a game Sega expected it to sell 0 copies so it indeed exceeded their sales expectations. Of course that doesn't make 13 Sentinels any less of a commercial failure that soon will put Vanillaware out of business.

nice, /m/kino is back on the menu

Wow, you seem angry and kinda seething. Did the translations trigger you this much? Kek.

it didnt sell well at first in japan but word of mouth made it a success there, especially after famous devs started recommending it

Why should it come to PC?
PC gamers don't want to play it, let alone buy it. They see it as just a shitty MuvLuv rippoff and they only want it to come to PC so they can gloat about "snoy losing another exclusive".

>Vanillaware out of business
I mean, it's Vanillawares magnum opus, there's no way in hell they can top this or produce anything on this scale ever again considering Kamitani has a hard 30 employees only policy.

This game is my GOTY. I love how they were able to make a cast of thirteen characters and all of them are interesting and are interwoven into a compelling story line.

Favorite generation of sentinel? Favorite operator?

Gen 1 is the best but I love Yuki-chan most. As much as I like her legspike buffs, I wish she was in the punchy mech.

This one is still ongoing, shill.

Cope incel.

Flop status: Confirmed

I'm a sucker for artillery, so Gen 3 for me. The last stage was literally a slideshow because of the amount of Missile Rain I did each turn.
Hijiyama was always a real nigga on my team, though.

This is easily my GOTY... nothing this year comes close (discounting Xenoblade since it's already my game of last decade).

G2-G3 is pretty good for spamming turrets and missiles. I don't really do melee too much. G4 is great for support, and spamming interceptors. I honestly don't think I have a favorite operator, oddly enough.

The game garnered tons of praise from various big names and just normal people in Japan. Pretty much straight positive feedback does wonders in people wanting to pick it up.

so that it's guaranteed uncensored. nothing on playstation is guaranteed uncensored. even shit like the last of us 2 is censored outside of america.

>Coping incel seething this hard

What should they even uncensor? Hell, is there even anything to uncensor?

COPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You are an idiot. It's uncensored, and it's Vanillaware. Never ever, dying on PS4 like Muramasa on Vita.

i just don't trust sony with japanese games. I'd rather play it untranslated than play an english ps4 copy.

VanillaCHADS!?!? I KNEEL!!!

>Favorite generation of sentinel?
All of them are equally enjoyable and OP to be honest

>Favorite operator?
Yuki, because putting all the meta chips into Leg Spike just to have her step on things and then getting a support skill that makes it even stronger is just delightful. Yuki pls step on me

then buy the japanese version
i'm pretty sure it's on sale now

Which is why I am telling you you're an idiot, because you have no idea what you're talking about. You should try thinking for yourself and investigating, rather than being a Zig Forums board culture drone.

>Why should it come to PC?
Preservation, plus the discussion around the game would be much more livelier since the game would gel better with the PC playerbase

There are fags in the game regardless of translation, get over it or quit vidya because they're in everything now. Stop making every stupid discussion about it.

This and possible mods.

Reminder:
Don't buy this pozzed garbage

You can worry about "preservation" when it's 5 years old and no one cares about it anymore, pc port beggar.

Nobody is buying it stop spamming

Based schizo

It's a visual novel.

Who was in the wrong here?

Probably because its just a shitty visual novel?

34k is now success lmao. The coping is absolutely palpable.

Did your attention span end after the first word?

>Nobody talks about how OP is a lying faggot talking about nip sales and then trying to spin that as western sales
It's almost as bad as your lack of a source, i tell you

seeth incel

>the game would gel better with the PC playerbase
The PC playerbase doesn't want the game; it only wants it for that fleeting pleasure of bragging about consoles losing another game.
You won't get any more discussion than you got when it launched.

The one who claimed that it flopped.

Both threads. Having played and loved the game, I'm just going to shitpost in these threads because anything not discussing the game ends up being a port begging thread, and one with the pozzed autists.
This is Vanillaware. It's not going anywhere else.

Yes. Dilate.

>34,200 units
fucking pathetic

>It remained in the top 30 best-selling titles into January
OP i didnt know you were a time traveller you colossal faggot

he didnt say anything about western sales, you schizo

>debuting in fifth place in the charts
holy shit we made it trannybros

Vanillaware, I kneel.

the ESL

>it's Vanillawares magnum opus
That's still Odin Sphere

Why shouldn't it? Sony isn't the market for VNs. It shouldn't be left to die on you shitty tranny console.

What OP posted is only in respect to the Japanese sales, Atlus has nothing to say about the Western sales because they are so fucking dismal they barely register on gamstat.

Because it is the one way us Sonychads are able to dunk on Xbox babbies in these trying times.

I never got disappointed at a Vanillaware game, but this one looks... underwhelming. I will still beat it on youtube though :^)

Based. If you want to play this shit buy a used copy and resell, don't give them money.
