Otome. Also it's time for them to take a gamble of Date a Live.

And more seriously, like everyone other Japanese localization house out there, they can always just get into publishing other company's games.

To be fair, I was talking more of games that could actually sell, not require a 90% off Steam sale to see any numbers like Amnesia did :p. I do think though that they should consider branching out if they don't plan on continuing with much of the Compile Heart catalog. Date a Live would be nice at least if they're sticking to only CH games.

They should absolutely stick with the CH games. I know they said they won't do it but I'd even prefer small alterations to getting nothing at all

Censored Vita release, uncensored Steam release. Seems like a decent compromise if that's the only option

For every single otome title from Idea Factory you get to know, there are another 40 that you don't know. They could release two per month for years and there'd still be a lot.

Even if they tried I doubt they'd ever catch up ^^
I might have missed a few but I tried to keep a list of the otome games due out this year in Japan. I ended up with 41 titles, of which 18 (and a half) of them are Idea Factory (the half being Diabolik Lovers because I'm not entirely sure how that's split with Rejet).

I'd love to see Aksys go after a D3 otome game or especially a Ruby Party title. Just to see what the genre is like made by these other studios (not because I dislike Otomate's stuff, just out of curiosity's sake).
Click to expand...
I really wish Tecmo Koei would try their Ruby Party stuff here but they obviously think it's too big a risk. I can kind of understand it, but it still sucks. Their games look somewhat meatier than some of the ones other companies put out.

I've been playing Harukanaru 6 a bit and it's been fun so far. I think it could sell to a bigger audience than to the otome fanbase due to it being a RPG, but KT obviously doesn't think so.

Well I mean, it's not like Hyperdevotion Noire is selling gangbusters without discounts. And I mean if they'd brought Mugen Souls across they'd have been even worse off (I don't get how those games have done quite so badly considering what Neptunia did).

I kinda feel the Steamport bubble is popping a bit. Obviously not so much that it's never going to be not worth porting, but it seems with so much niche stuff releasing all the time it means that individual releases get less attention. Look at things like XBlaze (complete disaster) and even some of Sekai's games (I'm shocked the newest Grisaia is hovering around 3k) for other recent VN's.

So in that regard, I don't think Amnesia did that badly especially since it's a long term investment that'll keep selling in many Steam sales to come.

But yeah, anyway, I think they should consider branching out too. There's a lot of Japanese content out there and having another localization house on board wouldn't hurt!

Most of VNs on steam are overpriced - those games have super low development budgets due to their nature so people aren't too happy to pay AAA or near AAA prices.

I can't justify dropping 15$ for few hours of content in case of episodic stuff like Fault Milestone One.

I mean, I can understand it for the doujin stuff, but what's wrong about paying full price for things like Clannad and Grisaia? They're premium products in Japan.

I don't get why 'low budget' deserves low price but no matter how big the budget for a game is they're not allowed to charge over $60. That way of thinking is trying to make niche genres 'lesser' games.

30 hours reading Steins;Gate are better than 30 hours playing the AAA fps of your choice for me, so I certainly would pay more for the VN. Indeed I already did.

Velocity Ultra or XCOM? Got 10 bucks to spend. (XCOm is on sale)
Click to expand...

Velocity Ultra is a masterpiece, you need to play that and its sequel.

That said, XCOM is likely to feature more "bang for its buck"(haven't played it but I often hear people saying they've played it for dozens of hours, Velocity is quite short even aiming for the 100%, which is how it should be played regardless) and it would be wiser to buy it now as it's on sale, then wait for a sale on VU

Its amazing how this thread more or less became the new VitaGaf thread in the past few months XD! The PSN thread is all but dead at his point, so nice to see so much activity here.

For the poster interested in Velocity Ultra/X2 & XCOM, get Velocity. The on-foot sections are literally 2D Sonic with a gun and they are fantastic, while the main ship combat across both Ultra & X2 is really solid as well. Really solid games I highly recommend :).

Regarding the discussion on VN's and the price point for them, they should be priced as full games like any other Vita title. The translation work put into them should be appreciated, the hand-drawn stills took time to make and the story itself is like buying a good book at points. So, I have no issue throwing 30-40 bucks for a VN on my Vita :).

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and playing great games on their Vita's!

Low development budgets? Translation and VA can get costly no matter what. At the end of the day, publishers need to make money. Are some VNs overpriced? Possibly. Most? No way.

I'd take a few hours of content for $15 over 8-10 hours of content for $60.

It's kind of a joke. I don't know if you follow stuff around VN localizations, but quite some of these don't have a lot of effort put into.

edit: Well, on the other side the VN localization industry (or whatever it is called) has a big problem with piracy and a lot of people in the VN "community" think they should get everything for free since they got their games for "free" for years.

If it's a mistake it's the second time this happening. First one was Batman Arkham Origins and that didn't come with an update. Kinda suspicious, making a mistake like that.

Plenty of games do this. Shinovi Versus has a PS3 tag. Ratchet Into the Nexus has a Vita tag. Nothing came of those.

Probably they must have considered ports. Because Into the Nexus not only had a Vita tag, it was also rated by ESRB and PEGI for Vita. Something must have happened, they scrapped the Vita port.

That's the dream. You have to assume the cost to license Otome games is near zero.

What a disaster that would have been. Tin Giant's port of FFA is legitimately one of the worst ports I've ever seen. They probably wouldn't have released that either if they hadn't promised cross-buy.

As much as I'd love Destiny on my Vita, the fact it'd be always online means I'd only ever play it at home, since the other places that I usually take my Vita don't have wifi, so it'd render the game kinda pointless, I'd just play it on my PS4 instead (plus my Vita wifi is a bit spotty, I'd hate to drop from the end of a raid accidentally and not get any rewards!)

One game I'm really pleased I picked up though is Pinball Arcade. I grabbed the first season pass and while it seemed fairly pricey I did enjoy the base tables included with the game so I took a gamble with it. And I'm glad I took the chance, I've barely played anything else on my Vita all month, its such a brilliant time waster - 10 minutes to spare? Hit up a pinball table and aim for the high score or go for one of the challenges. A couple of the tables are a bit underwhelming (Big Shot feels borderline unfair at times, feels like it screws me over) while other tables are just brilliant to play (the Star Trek table is really impressive with all the secrets it packs into the holodeck alone!)

Also, I've been playing through my import copy of Time Travelers. Its such a shame that this was never translated (it did badly in Japan from what I understand) as its a great interactive story (more in line with Telltales releases than a visual novel, since its fully animated). The story and characters are brilliant, I'm now on the final chapter and I'm hoping for a happy ending (the previous chapter being fairly bittersweet).

That's obviously a glitch, but if we lived in a world where it wasn't: my god Sony, if you're going to port an ActiBliz game to Vita make it a Blizzard one. Overwatch might melt Vita's CPU, but it would still sell well in Japan.

So I've been playing Taiko no Tatsujin V version.. Didn't take that long to get used to button controls instead of the sticks like I'm used to with the 3DS versions.
Still wish you could play with the touch screen though.

This game is going to fuck up my eyes. I had this problem with the 3DS games but it happens much faster here, like after 2 or 3 songs my vision just gets blurry for a while.

Was almost able to complete my first song on Oni difficulty at least. Couldn't complete any of them in the 3DS versions.

I guess they're 3D beat em ups (with boobs)? And yeah those are the two on Vita and you can start the franchise with Shinovi Versus. The 3DS games are a bit more serious and give a bit of backstory but you can quickly read up on it (Senran Kagura Burst is the very first one, the Vita games are spin offs after that)
