>literal who games
2B would like a word with you.

Indeed

Jap titles don't count.

Ion Maden is good.

So what's your point OP? Bombshell was meh but Ion Maiden looks pretty good. Or do you associate high sales with quality (the reverse is true too, low sales doesn't equal quality).

Bombshell was trash.

2B wasnt even the protagonist. It's literaly fact that female protagonists dont sell gang busters. Look at the majority of Gust games.

That female protags dont help sell games. This is a sales thread, nothing about the quality of the content.

>2B wasnt even the protagonist.
Those who bought the game wouldn't have known before playing it.

So is Ion Maiden

Well, they only need to reach Route B to find out.

>literally what game doesn't sell well
>this proves that female protagonists don't help sales
don't quit school

No, but she was one of the main reasons why the game sold.

Strong independent woman = shit
Fat ass cock teaser = $$$

Why does nu-Sup Forums care so much about sales, ratings, and playerbases now?

you mean after buying the game, because it was advertised for months with 2B

>Fat ass cock teaser = $$$
A lot of Japanese games would beg to differ. Again, see Gust games like Nights of Azure 2.

Have you considered putting them in good games
In any case, they hurt your sales with the mainstream because chads and kids not wanting to play as girls is a thing to some extend. But if you are thinking about the gender of your protag in terms of sales optimization, you should fucking neck yourself. Just make the characters you want to see and be done with it.

I'll buy Ion Maiden once its out of early access

Bombshell was pure trash that deserved to flop though

But at that point the sale has already been made, so you can't say Nier sold on 9s being the protagonist the purchasers didn't know he would be

their favorite things get made fun of constantly so they make fun of things other people like constantly which just feeds the cycle

I bet that most people stopped playing after finishing A

Sales threads have always been a fucking thing faggot. Sales are the ultimate measure of a things success. Its been a thing on Sup Forums, on Sup Forums and practically every media related board.

>Bombshell was pure trash that deserved to flop though
I wouldn't go that far but they realised that if they wanted to do some kind of spiritual successor to Duke Nukem they'd have to make an actual fps (although the first Duke Nukem weren't fps).

>Sales are the ultimate measure of a things success

Fucking leave corporate shill.

sales threads on Sup Forums were about making fun of nips for their shit taste, and hoping a series did well enough to encourage more

>arguing that Jap games don't survive off virgins' lust for tits and ass
Neptunia games are low effort and consist of mostly girls yet they sell because of the waifubaiting.

You make a game about a titty monster wearing a metal thong and it would still flop hard.
You knew that you need to have this thing called 'marketing' and 'production values'.
I mean compare Nekopara to the rest of the run-of-the-mill hentai VNs on steam. It's obvious the former got way more sales because it was fucking shilled everywhere and actually good to boot.

Retard

>Neptunia games are low effort and consist of mostly girls yet they sell
They don't actually, as far as Japan is concerned. It's one of those rare cases where the only thing keeping it alive is the western weeb audience.

I'd be less likely to buy tomb raider if Lara had a dick.

Where do you think you are?

>Sup Forums sales threads are the same as Sup Forums's
Sup Forums sales threads are for people too insecure about which games they should like/dislike and to fuel console war faggotry.

Sup Forums's are meant to show how well a series is doing with the nips. Just because Flip Floppers did poorly doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable.

Didn't I see this thread this morning already

I might buy nier asslingerie because she's a titty monster with a gstring.

If here are girls they must be morrigan(da) tier succubi.

RIP floop flappers. Had a gift certificate and forgot to use it to buy that blue ray.

Bombshell would've been hot fucking garbage even with a """"""Sup Forums-appproved"""""" cast of characters, Ion Maiden is twenty burgershekels for what amounts to a single episode shareware demo with the rest promised at some unspecified point in the future. No shit both sold like shit.

>Sup Forums's are meant to show how well a series is doing with the nips.
Oh please, dont give me that bullshit. Stalker threads literally exist to fuel fire between seasonal fanbases, much like how VEGfags and Franxxfags bash each other. Every fucking season you will have a bunch of fags who support one show and will watch that show only and will have petty rivalries with another show's fanbase for some fucktarded reason. This has been a thing that has happened forever, like those TTGL vs Luckystar sales back in 2007.

You could have just said Triggerfags and Kyoanifags are being stupid as usual.

Overwatch

A female protagonist in a videogame can never be as badass as a muscular confident cocky dude

Female protags lose to male protags because a lot of them lack natural wit or charisma. Honestly, the only thing better than a cocky male MC would be a smug loli MC, but unfortunately there arent a lot of games with a smug loli MC.

Nobody actually cares, its all shitposting

10 years ago maybe, now its all my cartoos are better than yours shit

This here is the root of 90% of shitposting.

It wasnt'. For so long, what has remained constant in Sup Forums is that any user will live by the code that My Taste>Your Taste. This has not changed at all hence why review and sales threads remain so persistent. This site literally thrives on proving that your opinions are better than other user's opinions and that if you go against the grain, you get shit on.

good shows almost never sell well, and so this is not the metric by which to establish whether your taste is good or not
you just want an excuse for stirring shit on this garbage board
