dan doth protest too much about gal gun

guys what is this, im totally not into whatever this is, it looks like a weird game for weird dudes, not normal dudes like me, its not my thing at all definitely not oh god thats terrible *grimace* who would buy this, oh my god japan i knew you were weird but i didnt know you were that weird, this is worse than 30 year old dudes in business suits on skateboards

goes home and plays competitive gal gun on his burner account

 

[Myggen]

Was wondering this as well, saw on my phone that they did an ep live when I was at work this week.
But now its no where to be seen

Probably not going up until Monday.

 

[Jintor]

nah, with dan, wysiwyg.

and let's be fair, gal gun's p. weird

 

[Antiwhippy]

Though really, galgun shows the problem with games like that. Cute characters as a point of sale doesn't work when there's no character to speak of really. Unlike say, persona 4, where establishing depth in their characters allows atlus to sell their fanservice without much cynicism.

 

[jaina]

Welp buying Gal Gun now. How do I disguise the game in my trophy list?

That's how!

 

[popo]

This VV complaining reminds me of when Fridays shows sometimes didn't go up until Tuesday and you still had to ask if a show would be archived. We have come a long way baby.

God damn it Fobwashed....

it works, but on a much narrower audience, and that audience probably buys a lot of merch is my guess

 

[Antiwhippy]

It works but not too the extent of persona though, and persona fans buy a crazy amount of merchandise anyway.

Which is really what I meant that it's a more effective way of selling characters really. Cuteness and sex alone just don't amount to much without depth.

I think you're asking these developers to put in effort for something that doesn't need it, they can put out these low effort creepy fanservice games and they'll sell.

It seems that consolidating your audience is much safer than trying to go big, at least for these niche Japanese devlopers.

They don't really sell that much. As jintor said, they sell to an incredibly small niche, but that niche is a constant source and they have such a low budget that they can recoup development. Basically how neptunia keeps getting developed. Plus the fact it reuses so many assets.

Good thing I decided to Managed Livestream Vinnyvania while I still could on Friday.

like if you watch media create, don't these games tend to go like 10k or less first week and then massive drop from there? hell that's probably overly optimistic

Sure they don't move huge amounts of units but I also bet these games don't cost a huge amount to make. Therefore they can sell small numbers but still continue to churn out these games to their dedicated audience who will routinely buy them. No point trying to improve your product in anyway when your only increasing development costs and potentially alienating that dedicated audience by changing stuff.

Demo Derby with Jeff are just the best feature on the site... So funny and informative.

I laughed so hard at Drew blasting through the air on his bike, and then just landing at a complete stop on the ground.

Matt Hoffman looks like a bad game.

Great race. Almost went, but picked two others to go to this year instead. Regret that now, lol.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Which it?

I think everything happened.

There would be enough for a 3 hour podcast in there!

 

[Frenden]

Yeah. That race was intense on multiple fronts.

 

[Moldiver]

I put the race on and not much was happening so went and done something else...what have I missed?

Edit

BBC summary has filled me in....wish I had kept it on now.

There's no proper search function so you have to find him by manually searching for his videos. You have to go to Community Gallery -> Best Ever and look for videos from 2008. Press L2 to set the filter to videos only. Took me like a minute to find his It's Tricky footage.

The whole community stuff in Singstar completely blows. No search function nor fullscreen mode on videos.

Thanks for the help, I snagged all the stuff that I could see.

I remember hating it because it was so clearly just Tony Hawk with a bike model. Activision's own Tony Hawk ripoffs were the worst in the genre. Most of them were bad, but Dave Mirra, Aggressive Inline, and a few others were worth playing.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I always felt the driving in the original Smuggler's Run felt really good. The game just lacked interesting objectives.

They need to bring that shit back with DIRT 3's handling. I'm so sick of racing games that just let you race on a track and don't bother doing anything different. We need more shit like Stuntman or a dedicated cop chase game.

 

[Incandenza]

I feel like Demo Derby is a grim foretelling of the coming wave of early 2000s nostalgia that will surely destroy our culture.

All of the Hulk Hogan stuff lately somehow reminded me of that Hulk Hogan Kinect game that came out a few years ago and the amazing Quick Look that Giant Bomb did for it:

Ohhhhh my goodness. Navarro was bang-on when he said we definitely need to hear some "Steal My Sunshine". Amazing.

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

i don't know why but dan getting the complete opposite of what the boxes do (to be fair jeff contributed slightly) in crash bash really annoyed me

maybe just suffering from too much heel dan

I heard Kevin VanOrd was not happy with the upcoming merger, which is why he was quickly removed from the equation.

 

[Curufinwe]

The first song on the Grind Session segment (Galaxie Express 69 mix by Cornelius) was also on the demo, and I remember it taking me a lot of Internet searching and Napster hunting before I finally found it since I didn't know the song name or the artist.
