Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 not to be released in west, concerned about sparking a "women in gaming" back - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;49182580]Two things though: It sold better in the West than in Japan, and it is getting an English localization even still. So the major roadblock for a Western release is gone.[/QUOTE] Relatively speaking, yes, it did sell better in the west, but overall, the sales are bad.

[QUOTE=axelord157;49182578]Take a gander at these astounding sales: [URL]http://www.vgchartz.com/game/481/dead-or-alive-xtreme-2/[/URL] "Global Total as of 07th Nov 2015 (units): [B][B]0.25m[/B]"[/B][/QUOTE] do you think all games have the same budget or something? what's important is how much a game makes relative to what it cost to produce and if they didn't make a profit they wouldn't have made a third one, would they? a lot of lower budget japanese titles survive on way less than a quarter of a million copies sold

[QUOTE=Xonax;49182609][t]http://i.imgur.com/p9fP5OI.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] reading "has sjw in it" makes me laugh because it sounds so stupid either way i dont see how it relates to a [I]whole teams[/I] decision

[QUOTE=RichyZ;49182634]localization department has sjws, yet its still making a fully functional english localization[/QUOTE] you're thinking of the Hong Kong edition I think, which is translated in broken English. A lot of Japanese games have Hong Kong versions with broken English translations.

You've shown before that these games pretty much sell more in the west. He really doesn't have much to stand on. This puritanism culture in anti-sexism circles makes no sense to me. I do agree though, the company should get some flak for bowing down to crazy fems.

After seeing his "Review" on Senran Kagura, it made me lose any respect I had for him as a reviewer. [url]http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/09/senran-kagura-2-deep-crimson-review/[/url] Awful.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;49182812]he also rated onechanbara highly, both of them are kusoges anyway[/QUOTE] I actually think SK is really fun, I like the story and the gameplay, while simple and I think it should be a little bit better, is fine.

i heard senran games have better gameplay on 3ds and vita games have better visuals. Estival Versus (a vita game) is coming to PC in the us so ill find out if thats true i played the first 3DS Senran and while its fun as hell the framerate is absolute shit

I thought Jim Sterling was that with the way he acted and his opinions.

He just went on about the tits and asses, only one sentence can be considered review-y. He doesn't talk about the story, the graphics, the music, performance, barely about the gameplay, the voice acting, localization, that sorta stuff. Just the tits and asses.

[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;49182887]Considering they sell the game entirely based on the tits, a review based on the tits seems pretty fair.[/QUOTE] It's not though, he is supposed to be reviewing the game, not the tits. You don't review the game based off of marketing or the cover, you review the game based on it's merits. Unless he reviews marketing, he is not reviewing it at all.

THIS is why we can't have nice things. Thanks a lot, SJWs.

It's like if I reviewed CoD or Halo based on the marketing, which most of the time for CoD was product placement. It wouldn't be a good review at all.

DOA has been around for years though! It's practically it's own culture
