Fans Rage over Strike Witches Shovelware

People expect waaay to much out of games based on anime.

i think it's just a glamorized version of a fighter jet arcade game.....

They'll buy it and love it. Why create something of value, when people will pay to be spoon fed shit from the rectum of corporations.

Well heres 360s disgaia 3. Defenetly Japaneese developers are at the bottom of the industry, save for capcom.

It aint too bad but would have been alot better if it CAVE,MOSS,MILESTONE or G-REV that developed it.

Who is the developer of this anyway?

Might this be 5pbs shooter?

I think it looks good.

Hyped fans = Fail

Looks like a "I just bought this game editor engine for Kidz..." patch job.

Though, to be fair, it's almost painful for me to look at those leggings. Holds their legs in a rigid "V" shape with two hazardous spinning blades. They'd have to have legs as strong and conditioned as a ballerina to avoid crashing the blades together and while the armor would probably protect their feet which are above the rotors, it might disable the device causing them to crash. IMO, they'd be better off on an "Old School" broomstick or perhaps a pseudo-science tech modernized one...

However, it's obvious their gear is just for endless "look at the lil girl's panties! Wowww!" drawings.

But I'm thinking, how COULD it be made into a "Good Game"...? This is obviously just a "Shooter Clone" but again, what kind of game could be made of it?

For instance;

3D game- Having them able to fly in an open "Aerial Arena" is more realistic, but wouldn't the player then just be staring at their butt the whole time, less of that "Angle panty shot" that they are trademark for?

Sandbox- Like "Bully" but with loli girls. I've only seen parts of one episode, but they go to school too, they aren't just fancy "Child Soldiers". They have to manage the stress of tween student life but once in a while an "Air Raid" siren hits and it's open air arena, but then they go back to being awkward schoolgirls...

Sex game- Like some "Dojins" I've seen. Brief shoot em up, good values for such a game, followed by "Comfort" them after the battle.

it looks like a game from the first nintendos and where
is the pantsu? we need more pantsu angles!!!

Glad I don't own a X-bwaks 3shitty. Also glad that I'm not obsessed with Strike Witches.

a cheap game for a cheap anime

this is because this is a not important anime at all is just a cheap moe anime which in the future will be nothing.

this is not like hokuto no ken or dragon ball or a real anime with no time of expiracy.

thats why they dont want to expend money on a cheap anime like this.

Well, fuck.

Raiden II puts this to shame

So............Its not going to be a Star Fox clone?

pew pew pew

This series is utter garbage. You have to be a moron to have put money into this game. If you're one of these morons, learn a valuable lesson and don't humiliate yourself further by watching crap.

Then at least make a PSP Port

About time they made a game for the PSP too.

WELCOME TO DEATH BY CUBE.

I wouldn't mind buying this.
....if it didn't cost $80.

Whats the price matter, lol? You all know at least half of 360 owners have their shit modded and they get their shit for free.

well it is on the 360 what do you expect

99% of japanese software is shovelware nowadays.

The majority of japanese games are either ds or psp too.

Its sad to think that the japanese once used to rule the videogame industry and were responsible for over 90% of the videogames on the market. How times have changed.

Japanese games industry, just like its anime industry is a sad sad thing now

It doesn't look that bad :/

Gamers these days are such graphics whores...

As expected with Failbox 3shitty >.> (Note I do have a 360 and I love it... but it's slowly failing in my eyes... seriously I've been playing my Wii more than it now)

You have been trolled.

I thought the screenshots was taken from touhou..... >_>

Reminds me of Star Fox 64

man even the psp can do better than that shit (O_o)

It's a third person shooter that bugs me. If only they took some ideas from the PS1 game Omega Boost (did anyone ever play that?) and improve it, it's better.

Why am I not surprised? This is like a Strike Witches version of Strikers 1945.

I'm fairly surprised that the screen isn't buried in homing lasers and WWII-era projectiles.

first Final Fantasy XIII, after Xenoblades, and now Strike witches, looks like they took the idea from the doujin game....

i expected another thing

Strike Witches STG!

whoa, a shitty anime got a shitty game? surprise surprise.

and this is all that the 360 is capable of doing

I feel pity for whoever buys this...They COULD do a better job.

Also don't compare Touhou to this abomination,a single Touhou game is easily worth more.

I knew it was gonna suck the moment I saw the screen shots. I normally like to give a benefit of the doubt but knowing the show and then seeing this it's like, "why did I even bother?"

"plumbing new depths"
of the bottom of the barrel,...

Still considering that fans will buy just about anything,...

It won't neccesarily bomb, then again it may not neccesarily mean that it will be played,... considering collectors try to keep their purchases in the case and in the original plastic wrapping.

All things considered, they could of made the girls a little more pleasing to the eye and opened up a few variations for on the ground activities, just for the incentive of actually plugging it into the - uh - console.

My impression - lame,.... fail....

mayby they'll stop production of the second run and update the code with better graphics and more moe eye candy.
Since the majority of potential playing otaku are grown-ups.

o.o*????

I won't even blame Microsoft for this. The guys who made this game are just plain lazy.

Space invaders

this game seems to be a clone of that free strike witches shoot-em-up game that was covered in san here... except its in 3D. Because if you compare both of the games the formation, the pairings, weaponry tracers are almost the same...

And yet sadly, people will still pay the full price for it.

This doesn't look very promising. But they still have a chance to improve since these are just the first shots. Looks like it's just 2D which is a shame. It would have been nice if it was free roaming Third person view. Then you could get nice pantsu shots. Well, hope the gameplay is fun at least.

I'm waiting for the moment when it is revealed to be another Beta.

Hate to rain on your uh... shimapan, but...

1) Anime games have an abysmal hit to miss ratio. I can count good ones I've seen in the last few decades on one hand.
2) Shovelware game for shovelware anime. *cough* I mean really, how good would it be without fanservice?

And we can't even see pantsu? Blasphemy!

just how much detail can they really be expected to put into 3D modeled anime characters? the second last picture looks indistinguishable from any figurine

wow this just proves that xbox sucks ass
