Astral Chain is selling hotcakes

Wii U was basically a beta Switch.

1) Action games never sell well in Japan. Even Zelda and Metroid sell like shit there.

2) Japs probably download more than buy physical.

3) Cope harder.

LOL

I'd buy the fuck out of that if I could. Japan shit should work with aus shit right?

They didn't pre-order it because they all ended up going out and buying it on release

I'm happy it did not bomb, at least.
This game could certainly use a sequel.

Sounds normal to me.

Why are you so desperate?
Posting Infos from pre Release has no bearing on the real sales numbers we have now.

>7 days ago

DMC5 sold pretty meh.

Stay mad snoyboi, go an down vote the game so you can feel better LOL

Monster Hunter isn't really a great example because it's so unlike other action games

What is the sales number tendies?

Come back to me when it wins GOTY like GoW. No one cares about sales Nin-toddler. FIFA sells more and is FIFA good now?

>menacing people online because they "dare" to buy brands you religiously hate
LMAO beaner MAD as fuck

The game needs a trilogy.
Also allow us to dual wield X-batons.

Yes, after release pre-release data is outdated by definition.

>on system with no games
It came out on the Switch, not on the PS4

I just can't help but feel like this explanation should stop working after the 20th fucking game to get it. How many games could possibly sell well because there are no games before a console has games.

OH NO NO NO NO NO ITS NOT FAIR BROS

>system with no games

This isn't accurate. That Playstation has a white face. It should be black.

Man. I wish I could justify buying a Bloodborne machine. I'd love the game but I really can't put money down for a PS4 when there's literally nothing else on it for me.

That's because it's yet another franchise that banks off of JoJo.

>snoyfag still desperate to COPE
you are the one pretending outdated info was still magically relevant.
Or are you pretending the top spot in the rankings is a flop?

Can anybody explain the appeal of Platinum games? I played Bayonetta and apparently didn't "get" it because every single mission was a stone trophy award.

Of course it does: Switch has no games.
Astral Chain is literally the only worthwile game releasing in months on that console.

Meanwhile on my PS4(for the players) console, I can enjoy not just exclusives but also multiplats that aren't downsampled to 240p.

Snoyfags are SEETHING hard in here, that's what happened.
Why deny that simple fact, a group that makes 700 bot accounts might start stirring shut here as well.

Its literally one guy.
One user is sperging out over "snoyfags" in literally all Switch related threads as of late.
Even without any provocation he's just making posts on his own.

I ignored it for the most part and just posted about the games, but its getting unbearable desu

Learn dodge offset and play it again. The goal is to get the best award you can, the first playthrough is just the beginning.

So your new COPE is to pretend the number 1 ranking game is somehow a flop.
That might be peak snoyfag COPE

You all deserve to be beaten to death. We cant even go five posts without this shit anymore.

I have no idea if the game's actually good, but I can say they did a fucking amazing commercial campaign. Literally everyone is talking about it and it's advertised everywhere, something you wouldn't expect from a Platinum's Switch exclusive.

I hope more developers will adopt this strategy: announcing a game just months before releasing and keeping the hype steady up until release. It surely works better than overhyping a game, waiting years and then releasing it when no one talks about it anymore.

YOU TURNED Yea Forums AGAINST ME!

I think Nintendo realised after Splatoon that good marketing is usually the deciding factor as to whether a game is a huge success or a horrendous bomb.

So you are still pretending the highest ranked game flopped.

No, he's saying spiderman sold better than astral chain. Which I'd have to agree with him.

Still makes no sense, the first one was a reply do a now deleted post and the next mention came after an obvious snoyfag started coping.

>cutscenes and dialogue interrupt Bayo and W101
Play the game more than once, turbofaggot, they're built to be easily skipped.

This is what I'm talking about Auta and AC are built without a focus on gameplay and therefore have no replayability, unlike every good Plat game where your first playthrough is just the tutorial.

RIP good Plat games, you will be missed.

Enjoy your Japanese Uncharted, niggers.

His own evidence doesn't show that, though.
He used the same chart and the same ranking to claim Spiderman sold extremely well.
So AC would do the same, by his logic

I don't know how you consolebabbies do it.

Did you even play DMC 5 or are you just a drone?

Astral Chain? More like Anal Beads.

And yet you pretend they don't even exist.

it runs pretty well on (my) PC ::)

Astral Chain was actually in development way before the release of Nier tomato.

even better

Attached: 1554813432658.jpg (1280x720, 103K)

I have a Switch, but I'm feeling very hesitant about buying an action game that only runs at 30 fps.
Bought Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, and I don't even play it anymore, dropped after 5 hours or so because it feels like shit after coming from 4U on 3DS and World on PC.

As Scalebound.

b-b-b-but what about all the GOOD FIGHT of the 10 year old console warriors doing the LORD'S WORK on m-m-metacritic? I thought we had w-w-won? I thought we could easily alter r-r-reality?

I'm that user by the way

Because UK have detailed rankings and some number leaks every week.
Media Create is kill and resetera mod sin a seething rage fit banned all NPD leakers due to butthurt when nintendo started dominating.
For germany we only get monthly numbers for sales milestone awards, which are only useful for big AAA games and in France and medium sized EU markets like Italy or Switzerland we only get the top 5 without any information about the sales numbers.

go look at the ac/dmc5/sekiro thread, these faggots qre crying because
>muh god of war was 30fps and you were mean to it but it's ok when nintendo does it!!
they're insufferable and still playing the victim, just like women

"in development" usually doesn't mean shit. it's usually just conceptualising the game. i bet if you asked most devs about these games a lot of them were "in development" aka in the conceptualising stage years and years before they actually started building the assets and creating the world.

days gone was "in development" for 7 years but actually only started building the game 4 or so years ago.

No I won't deny dmc5 has flaws but compared to astral chain, it's night and day.

Then this thread is.

I strongly disagree with your statement.
I will give you that the story and characters are miles better.

DMC5 shares Astral Chain's biggest flaw, the scoring system in both games is fucked up.

>Taro lets them make Automata, it sells like crazy on the back of Taro's unique style/story
Yeah. I'm sure it's the story that drew people in.

Attached: 2butt.webm (452x380, 2.74M)

Why is that then? Dmc5 has a much deeper combat system with 3 characters who all feel very different with V being the only flawed character combat wise.
Also being 60fps and looking this good even on consoles is a big plus. God bless the RE engine. Sure levels could be better but it's only flawed in the look which was the tree levels. Bring in the co-op mod and literally have fun with you buddies in many levels.

>I didn't replay Bayo let me just make shit up
Cool story bro

This. The original Nier was a fucking failure and the only reason anybody liked Automata was sex appeal. I'm not saying sex appeal is bad, but I am saying that it wasn't because of the fucking story or gameplay that's for god damn sure.

That probably contributed too but you're out of your mind if you think ass is enough to get high critical ratings like Automata got, especially in today's political climate.

Yeah it is. Can't deny that but the flaw is In astral chain combat itself. Which is the main gameplay loop. You replying way to much on your stand is a big flaw and gives you less options.

The original Nier was a failure because it was a shitty game. Even though the story, the music, and the ideas were interesting, it couldn't save the game because the actual gameplay was an unpolished mess. Platinum fixed that part, while keeping the great story, music, and themes from Taro, that's why it was a success.

The games are so wildly different that a comparison doesn't work. AC is nowhere even close to the depth of even the simplest character action games. It's not a character action game. It's an ARPG.

Okay now that's just not true, you have no idea what you're talking about.

No, they're just called "Action Games". They've always just been called "Action Games".

No they were not, only by morons. Nobody unironically calls them "character" action games. That's fucking stupid, and doesn't describe the genre at all.

It's an action game. A hack and slash action game. Like how you called astral chain ARPG which is just Action Role Playing Game. No need to put dumb buzzwords like character action into this.

It's great that Astral Chain had a good first week and is Platinum's most successful game to date.

10k isn't an overly fantastic number though but the budget was probably very modest.

Nice to see. Sorry that Scalebound is a corpse, Xbros.

Bayonetta 1 sold poorly too, hence why nobody was really up to fund the sequel. everything on the WiiU sold like shit because nobody owned the console. Bayo2 on switch sold much better but still not like, amazing. Though i'm guessing it was all factored into the financial plans for it since they didnt really shit many copies and the ones they did ship sold out pretty fast.

I fucked up, i mean the switch version outsold the wiiu one in a few months.

Nintendo's mascot is in a lot of games
What is your point?

Nier Automata wasn't sold on good gameplay as it was standard platinum fare. Nier Automata wasn't sold on Yoko Taro's writing as Taro games don't usually sell. I'll let you think the rest, but most importantly kill yourself automatababby.

mario isn't a genre champ

>90% of the Switch library is Mario games
So you're not only wrong, but stupid?

>Taro games don't usually sell.
Because besides their writing they were without exception terrible games. Automata while not PG best is edible enough to let you enjoy the story

>TBS
>3D Platforming
>Sports
>Minigame collection
>Custom 2D Platforming
>2D Platforming
>Fighting
>Action adventure(?)
>Racing

That would imply Taro's stories have mainstream appeal which they don't.

I'm just saying the switch has too many Mario related games. I wish there were more unique ip ones like astral chain.

I think they do. They are dark but not complex to follow or pedantic. He has a good grasp of storytelling mechanics even when the story itself is usually bonkers.

I'm just saying automata saved platinum from bankruptcy. That's a fact.

But standard platinum fare pretty much means decent to good gameplay.
Taro games needed exactly that to be successful, the previous Nier game and Drakengard games lacked that.
Nier Automata pretty much proved that the recipe works. Taro + decent/good gameplay = success.

That's a lie and you fucking know it.

Because Automata taught Platinum a thing or two.

It got a lot of normie who didn't buy it to jack off, I'll give you that. Its success was much like FE Awakening: years of lavish praise for a series that doesn't sell compounded with a gameplay change that's accessible and easy plus marketing.

The Switch has ~1900 games. About 11 of those are part of the Mario series.

After finishing file 2, i can give my opinon on the game so far!

ASTRAL CHAIN is without a doubt going to be the hardest game to get perfect scores on that platinum has ever made.
I got all platinums in bayonetta and got platinum trophy, 100% vanquish and got Platinum trophy,but this game well definitely be harder based on how the combat works.

Combat consist of maintaning your legion and your main chracter
Your legion does majority of your heavy damage so you have to pay attention to it and recall and de-summon you legion constantly to keep it safe.

Your MC is your life line and also needs to be protected at all times cause getting your MC hit or killed will lower your score.

You need your legions to dish out big damage and end battles quickly to get good times all while keep your MC damage free.
Fighintg multiple enemies in this game can be tough as shit.
Losing your legion leaves you vulnearble without good damage and focus to much on your legion leaves your MC open to attacks.

This is Platinums best combat by far next to Vanquish.
Im on file 3 playing on PT standard, and will continue to take my time with this awesome game play.

Its looking like astral chain and Vanquish will be my favorite 2 platinum games hands down.

I'm sure if Sony or Microsoft had characters that were as iconic and beloved as Mr Videogames himself, they'd plaster him to spinoffs
But there are some slight analogous examples from the two
You have Halo Wars and Gears of War tactics that follow in the same pattern of cashing in on the love of the original franchise.

>ASTRAL CHAIN is without a doubt going to be the hardest game to get perfect scores on that platinum has ever made.

i love the game but i think it's because the ranking system is retarded

Sure, but that's mainly just because Mario is beloved and entities from his franchise are instantly recognizable and visually appealing

>one other difficulty
>nothing extra
Yeah, nah, this is meant for one playthrough. Even the scoring system is slapped on and half-assed.

is the game actually good

>Platinum is dumbing their combat down
>Yakuza is switching to a turn based RPG
>DMC is back in limbo because Capcom goals are unreasonable
Where did all the good action games go?
At this rate there won't be another good game until Itsuno finishes Dragon's Dogma 2 in 2026

just pirate it and see for yourself in my opinion it is but some other people who're not trolling will find it shit

no, worst game of the generation, do NOT play!

Shrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeekkk!! And much more make w101 the worst platinum game

It can’t be another W101 because Switches have actually sold. W101 would do just fine if it were ported to Switch (which they 101% should)

We have 2 different threads up right now using Twitter nobodies that say it bombed in the UK and it sold gangbusters in the UK. What's clear from them is this.

And snoyfag believe this retard?

Don’t nuke the UK, they have nice voices, a cool sense of humor, and made the best permutations Rock and Roll

It reached the top of the sales charts but overall it is only the 4th biggest launch of a Platinum game on the UK ever (this has been a pretty slow week in UK). It didn't bomb but it also didn't sold gangbusters, as always people have to take everythign to the extreme here if they want their (you)s.

Attached: Untitled.jpg (253x300, 36K)

Good, I'm glad. It was a damn shame what happened to W101. Game didn't deserve it.

I'm also legitimately wondering this. The game was announced and released within the same year, practically came out of nowhere, and garnered a sizeable fanbase. What about it is so inherently rage-inducing?

>Sold out in literally every market
>"flopped"

Even if Nintendo did "undership", they still shipped more than needed for it to be a success for them.

It's just the usual suspects being angry that it's another Switch exclusive.

I've been enjoying the game, just cleared chapter 3, so still pretty early. But I went back to S+ rank chapter 1, got the toilet, took a picture of the invisible fuckers, and grabbed the cat, but when I clear it, it still has two icons on it that say 0/1, the diamond shaped icon and one that i thought was a cat paw, and i assumed that was for getting the cat.
Does anyone know what those two icons are?

No idea

You don't really remember bayo 2 drama?

Nothing. We have moved into garbage time for the PS4.
Sony doesn't have shit because they have shifted focus to the PS5. Any killer exclusive the PS4 gets now would be a wasted exclusive that could have been used to launch the PS5.
Expect an exclusive barrage with the launch of the PS5.
Nintendo did the exact same thing with the Wii U and the Switch's launch.
The best the PS4 can hope for is good multi-plats to bridge the gap.

Snoys are seething so much they can't even rate the right Nintendo Switch™ exclusive.

This. I hope at least some of them get to enjoy Bayo 2, 3, and AC since it’s on an actual successful console. I could see being mad if Bayo 2 and W101 were the only games that interested you on Wii U.

That’s kind of how I felt about Scalebound on Xbox

A good number of those tweets were pure FUCK NINTENDO KIDDY SHIT so I kinda doubt the Switch appealed to them any more than the Wii U.

No, Japan doesn't care about the collectors edition you illiterate fuck

Until this game my Switch was a smash machine. Now I'm actually playing the damn thing and it's great. Even after enjoying 120hz on PC all the time this 30fps actually goes a long way.

FUUUUUUUUUUCK I want to play it so much but Ys VIII is deceptively long and I wasn't able to finish on Saturday, gonna have to start it next weekend now.

Attached: EDeKHX2U4AEaXRO.jpg (1920x1080, 333K)

Ys VIII is a 30-hour game, and that includes the postgame dungeon

I've been playing over 80 hours to 100% everything.

It’s fairly steady, so most of the time you just get used to the frame rate and don’t notice it

Obviously if you want the plat then yes it'll take that long, but personally I didn't care for autist-tier achievements like "collect every weapon".

Bayo 2 sold a million within a year
Cope harder

I think the difference comes from playing on a 65" TV sitting several feet away versus arm's reach from a 21" monitor. You notice framerate more when you're closer to the screen.

Does it have Japanese audio on the Switch? This is important.

I didn't exactly go hunting for the weapons, they just fell into my lap naturally because I've been playing the game to its fullest. Only now that I'm at like 98% on some things am I having to look up what I missed and even then it's not much, just a handful of items. At 30 hours you'd be seriously rushing the game, I didn't fast travel prior to warping so that also took more time.

How does it run in handheld mode?

Yes. You have to complete the first mission (in whatever language you have youe Switch set to) but after that you can change it in the title screen. If you really want to play the opening subbed just start a new game after changing the options.

automata didn't improve the gameplay much besides polish

Considering I played the game during my 9-day spring break yes I rushed. Toward the end I was pulling off 6+ hours a day.

In Ys VIII? They weren’t talking about Astral Chain

Ys VIII has dual audio on everything.

Reminds me of when I put nearly 70 hours into FFXII in a single week in college

>lumpy pancake tiddies
And yet I still would

Pretty good so far, haven't noticed any dips but I'm only at chapter 3. Game is sharp and easy to see everything on the small screen. Haven't noticed the adaptive resolution kick in yet (if it has).

Waking up the next day to do my 8 AM class was fun. Especially when you're in grad school and day one already drops a term project on you.

But that's a dinosaur

>yaoi bait
And even then you don't see that at all in the fanbase. Bayo's the one suffering from utter faggotry.

It's pretty good, yeah
It's one of those weird cases where it starts off too slow and gives you too little and escalates to giving you too much

And 90% of sony games are slow walking while characters talk.

A developer asking people to buy their game?!?!?!

Oh my! How absurd! They should just release it with attempt to market!!

Fucking retarded shitposter

not really though. Mario Odyssey, BoTW, Smash ultimate, Bayonetta 2 and Splatoon 2 are all completely different. Actually there aren't even very many Mario games on the switch yet

It doesn't really play like that once you unlock more stuff. You don't actually have to avoid damage to get S+ rank, weirdly.

>there's an exploding enemy in this game named Berthold
How many anime references did they put in this game? I'm seeing elements of Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Bleach and Attack on Titan
