Its pretty obvious why the game wasn't a success outside of Japan, but why did it flop in Japan?
Sega had sold probably something between 4,5 to 5 million Saturn's in Japan by the time of its released yet it didn't even manage to sell a 100K.

This might just be one of the best arcade games ever made.

>> No.10888105

>>10888083
It is. For me it would have been the entire reason to own a Saturn.
In fact I didn’t even know this game had a home release, if I did, I probably would have bought a Saturn just for this game.
My family used to do a lot of horse betting as a kid and the track had a Die Hard arcade machine, so I’d end up just putting 20 dollars of quarters into the machine and play for hours.
It’s the best 3D beat-em-up ever, like seriously this is the absolute top shelf for that genre. It’s perfect.
I like the dynamite deka sequels, but playing it without the Die Hard branding is tangibly less soulful.

I’m hurting /vr/ bros, I’m honestly hurting so hard because of how I can never go back to 1998 an re-experience the joy of sitting in my parents’s living room with my brother or cousin while unboxing the PS1/N64/Saturn and playing some of the most memorable games known to man. The memories we’ve experienced was so wonderful among the retro gaming community. I thank god I was a part of it. I know you guys feels the same, you guys and these games are the closest things I have to these moments in time. Thank you anons, I love you bros.

I'm not even sure honestly. On one hand, it's amazing, on the other hand, I can't help but feel like I'm playing a tranny game.

Jk, I don't know. It's fun but the UI isn't great. There's too much stuff so you spend a long time cleaning your inventory. And the inventory being what it is just makes it worse. The balance seems a little all over the place. They don't tell you about the radio much in NV so I kinda forgot it was even a thing.
Probably still a better game than FO3.

Just beat this for the 1st time a few minutes ago after years of getting filtered by the trials or getting bored in Klamath from running out of ammo. Pretty cool, kind of buggy, didn't play with any fan patches or the restoration project. Started playing a few weeks before I found out the show was coming out. Probably still like the 1st one more, by the end of 2 it was starting to get tedious, even with me only playing it a few hours every weekend. Found the spleen mission on my way to launch the tanker, decided to do it. Fucking stupid, waste of time, annoying.

Probably going to go back an play one, only beatbit twice and last time was like 10 years ago, might see if there's some kind of restored content mod. Did anyone ever try to make a Van Buren mod that was any good?

I know, I know, frontends are evil or whatever, but it'd be nice to have an easy way to cycle through my games. Right now I just have a folder full of bat files which isn't very neat, it'd be nice to have a program for easy selection.

I've had a look around, but all I can find are retards selling hard drives for 2 grand FULLY LOADED with shitty hyperspin wheels. All I want is a window designed for mouse selection, I want a grid of game box art or whatever I can just point and click on the game I want to play and the bat file will boot up and start the game for me. I don't need the fucking video bloat or eight pages of screenshots to remind me what Time Crisis is about, and I don't want these god awful wheels you have to slowly scroll through to find what you want to fucking play, I've got a big screen, I can fit 50 titles on it and just shoot the one I want to play.

>It is one thing to hear/read about how well we are doing in Japan vs. Sony, it's another to personally witness it. | just visited 10 retail stores in Tokyo (most in Akihabra); it's now spring break so the crowds of teens/college kids are huge. We are killing Sony. In every store, Saturn hardware is sold out and there are stacks of Playstation. The retailers commented they can't compare the true sales rate because Saturn sells out before they can measure accurately. Our interactive displays are better, our software displays and stocking far superior. It is not unusual to see 40-50 copies of Panzer Zwei or Virtua Fighter 2 stocked in even small stores and they are selling fast. I wish I could get all our staff, sales people, retailers, analysts, media, etc. to see and understand what's happening in Japan; they would then understand why we will win here in the U.S. eventually. How do we show that at E3? - Tom

You basically have to know exactly what you're doing. Where to farm for levels, have an optimized path through the game, and what to spend gold on. Play the easier version with 20g herbs until you learn the route. The enemy balance is all over the place so generally you powerfarm the rock golems then just play for survival everywhere else.

I beat it with Warrior and found him easy since he is strong in the early game and you don't have to fiddle with the janky spell system
