Tawm Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Cho Dengeki Stryker has some embarassing stats, considering it's been on Steam for over 6 months. It's not surprising considering that it was the first VN on Steam to cause an outrage over censorship, which no doubt greatly affected its sales. The top 10 is cringeworthy, though hardly surprising. I assumed Dysfunctional Systems would have abysmal sales, judging by how the developer put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverLi Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I wonder how good the more popular VNs would do if they ever got on steam, #Clannad #F/SN ect... I think they would do good but not fantastic. Most of us already got the VN and I think we all would rather buy the physical copy if we can afford it. It is highly likely Clannad is going to be released on Steam. It is already all ages. But everything depends on Key I guess. "True" VNs such as Planetarian and Fault from Sekai didn't sell well while Sakura Spirit and Nekopara sold really well in comparison.

It's not surprising considering that it was the first VN on Steam to cause an outrage over censorship, which no doubt greatly affected its sales. I'd venture a guess that it being full-length and hence full-price affected sales a whole lot more than the censorship issue, which was frankly a non-issue to begin with.

You're greatly underestimating the power of ignorance. While it *should* be a non-issue; it's clearly not. I'm sure that even here, people will tell you that they will *not* support censorship in any way, regardless of how it affects the medium. If you were to poke your head in on the Cho Dengeki Stryker Steam forums now, you will find very little else but topics discussing and criticizing censorship. Of course, it being a big VN with high production values and so on; the pricing puts people off. Considering that it's one of the few full-length VNs on Steam, that's kind of disheartening as well. Note that the VN is currently 50% off, yet all that is being discussed is boycott and taking a stance against censorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerathim Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 How come Planetarian and Eden* are so low ? When VNs gain on popularity top sellers are always eroge and dating-sims, even in the west, that's depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzu Fanatic Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 How come Planetarian and Eden* are so low ? When VNs gain on popularity top sellers are always eroge and dating-sims, even in the west, that's depressing. I assume this info is retroactive, so titles that have been out longer will have higher sales figures. Given that some of those titles have been out for a year (or more), I'm not surprised at the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexZandria Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well...Winged Cloud clearly have a reason to make another 10 Sakura VNs.... The good news is Sakura Angels had so little sales compared to Sakura Spirit that they might stop after game 3-4 if sales keep dropping. Include this data over here. Sure is hard being a Korean otome games enthusiast. Wait is Nameless or Dandelion good? I keep thinking about getting one of them but I've been on the fence.

AlexZandria Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think you are talking about Princess Maker. Long Live the Queen is a raising sim. You raise a girl to become a queen in a year by changing her mood and teaching her different classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanahtlig Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If My Heart Had Wings 16,568 ± 5,482 Cho Dengeki Stryker 3,314 ±2,452 Cho Dengeki Stryker is doing poorly due to censorship Wut? I honestly can't fathom how retarded people would have to be to complain about censorship on a platform that mandates censorship when an uncensored version is available from the same publisher elsewhere. Meanwhile they gobble up If My Heart Had Wings? Are these people daft? Looks like the two games are being sold at about the same price point too.

AlexZandria Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well kind of. But not entirely. One mistake and it's over. Trial and error. Save a lot. Not really? It takes multiple errors for it to be over. First off some errors (for example executing one of the noble girls) will lead to other errors (a revolt, war between kingdoms, fight to the death) and if you fail tha t you fail. Basically you had to make 2 mistakes, more mistakes if you count the multiple ways to solve the problem. Let's explain with the crazy lady someone wants you to execute so there is this guy who asks you to execute this lady. If you choose not to out right execute her he gets all hissy at you. That is mistake number 1. Now he wants to kill you. If you go to the festival instead of staying inside he will try to kill you. That is mistake number 2. Now he will try to fight. If you decide to run away but don't know how to run that is mistake 3. If you try to fight him with something you throw and don't know how to throw it that is mistake number 3. If you try to use a sword and don't know how to use a sword that is mistake number 3. If you try to use magic against him and don't know magic that is mistake number 3.. Your death wasn't trial and error it was you raising a chick not to respect people and then trying to solve problems in ways you haven't taught her to solve problems. Or how about the famous chocolate scene? did you know you don't always see the chocolates? The chocolates are avoidable if you raise a princess who embraces her magic. You have a series of well rounded checks if you don't manage to either kill the person who sends them to you or convince them to join your side. If you take the chocolates you still have a poison check to help you survive. Again 3 steps to survive you just have to pass one of them. You get pretty much 3 chances for everything and 1 chance is always a big list of skill checks that you just need to pass 1 or partially pass a couple to succeed in. The game is super common sense in that you raise your princess the way you've taught her. If you didn't teach her athletics you don't put her in adventurous situations if you didn't teach her how to handle people you avoid making speeches. It IS a raising Sim and pretty easy to win with many different princess types if you know how to play to her character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes I agree that it is a raising sim in that regard. About the chocolate:If I recall the only way I could've figuried it out was training my dogs and possibility falconry or something else. I played it ages ago so I hardly recall everything. I always tried to be the bes in everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
