Overall i’m very impressed with G-Collections and there games. Most of there games have really good quality and animation, especially Trabulance and Zyx games. I think that G-C is probably doing a bit better than PP right now, selling games like Chain, Kango, Private Nurse and Tottemo. So far Chain is my favorite game from G-C, not only that it has a good plot, but it has animation in it. truthfully, the only PP game that i probably like better than any other G-C game, is Tokimeki Check in. Other than that, i think G-C has better games than PP. Brave Soul on the other hand will be another hit from PP.

Yes, but what could boiling lava possibly have on us?

Well, I am interested. Please do that!
It could be an inspiration for me, what other games, that I am not aware of yet, should also be added to my list.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Spectator, but AFAI recall, Trabulance and ZyX are more popular/successful in Japan than Will or CROWD. I can check (for last year or so), but I don't remember ever seeing Will or CROWD's game in the top ten sold games, while I remember seeing ZyX or Trabulance. For instance, "Ecchina Bunny-san wa kirai?2" of ZyX was #3 in the last ranking (from 10.16 to 11.30)!

Actually, I was thining about the english market when I said that, so it's a different matter :9. But, do post selling scores, please! It might be interesting, if nothing else [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img].

Why not?
That list also shrinks:
a) because I buy some of them
b) because some of them become unavailable

So figuring out what's popular in order to add some new titles should be a good idea, after all...

True, I suppose... And titles do become unavailable all the time and such, so it might be a good idea to do that, yes [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img].

Well, whatever you do, be careful, or you'll end up like Olf_Le_Dragon [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

sure, it is [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]. But the futuation of never getting trutly finished... I don't know if I'd survive that :3.

Hmmm? What frustration (supposing, you meant that with "futuation")?

If you look at it from the right side, that's bishoujo-heaven available already on earth!

Well, the fristation, you know :3. Can one feel trutly happy when palying games that he is less likely to be able to finish as his pile jsut grows and grows? That's the question [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img].

Now, now, Spectator, see the good side of things:

    []gurvon lives in Sweden and has plenty of b-games
    [    ]Unicorn lives in Germany and has plenty of b-games
    [*]I live in France and have plenty of b-games[/LIST]

    You, living in Sweden, decide to go and visit France, going through Germany…

Now you're starting to sound like you want to start an international smuggling ring or something... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] Just kidding.

I agree with the others about listing some of the selling scores. Like Unicorn-san said, it may give inspiration for games to add to a want list. I know that's what I've been doing with anime and by looking at such lists, have ended up gathering some I might not have looked at otherwise. (Though you may want to check with Lamuness-san if you plan on making it a regular thing or something.)

I just checked the latest ranking (12.7-12.20) and… Lain-sama, I’m impressed!

Let’s see:[list]

  • “Prima Veil V” from Escu:de.
  • “Imouto jiru” from Atelier Kaguya.
  • “Double Mind” from F&C’s brand FC02.
  • “Popotan” from Petit Ferret.
  • “Sayonara Etranger” from OrbitSoft’s brand CLOVER.
  • “D.C. White Season” from Circus (FYI, “White Season” is a toybox for the previously released game “D.C. ~Da Carpo~”).
  • “Moldavite” from OrbitSoft’s brand CLOVER.
  • “Limeiro” (normal edition) from elf.
  • “Limeiro” (DVD edition) from elf.[/list]and…[list]
  • “Yami to boushi to hon no tabibito” from OrbitSoft’s brand ROOT!!![/list]

    I’m impressed! OrbitSoft released that month three games and the three of them are in the top ten!!! FYI, OrbitSoft is a pretty recent (since December 2001 IIRC) company, whose first game “Gao no nai tsuki/No surface moon” has a good but not exceptional success (probably thanks to their main artist, CARNELIAN ). “Moldavite”, “Sayonara Etranger” and “Yami to…” are only their second batch of game release! And they’re ranked #1, #4 and #6!!!

    (note: of the list, I got “Limeiro” [DVD] and “Yami to…”, though it’s true I hesitated for “Double Mind” and “Sayonara Etranger”; “White Season” is a sure buy… for later, since it’s a toybox and I didn’t even open the original game! )

    EDIT: I only checked at Digi-Chronicles because my other sources (Gamelex, Peaks and “Dengeki Hime” don’t have yet the figures for that time period, but be sure I’ll check there as well!!!)

    .... I don't really see your point? ^^;.

    Or rather, can't really figure out what exactly you are trying to say is "good" in this? ^^; [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img].
