What am I in for? Should I just do the main story or go for 100%?
>>743819097100% would be rough. Thr game is pretty long and has a lot of stuff to collect. I'd recommend the main story and any side quests that interest you. Also be sure to start working towards max friendship for every main character (not visitors) as soon as you can because that is tied to completing the main story. Wishmemell will likely take you the longest when she appears.
>>743819097Arrested development thread.
>>743819467You're unironically right
>>743819097Shut the fuck up butters.
Why is my melo so hot?
>>743819097Main story
>>743819097Main story and if you still have the urge 100 percent. I got about 90 hours into it before I got bored
>>743819467How 'bout you arrest your development on deez nuts haha gottem.
I'm more interested in what shitty shovelware they'll produce with their new partnership with bandi namco
>>743821679>partnership with bandi namcoOh shit! For real?!
>>743821798Hello Kitty Party Land being one of them and the other's name titled sanrio kawaii me live, the former is exclusively for nintendo switch unfortunately and the other is a phone game.I think I got the bandai namco partnership wrong and went off of raw assumption based off of seeing them being the co-creators for party island, but they've got at least 8 other games they're going to announce over the following 3 years.
>>743819097its a good game and fun to play, the city town expansion has been really good.
>>743821291Cursed creature
>>743819097this game looked cool but it's a little too grim dark for my usual tendie standards
What was the name of that other newer Sanrio game featuring over 100 characters?
>>743827452Hello Kitty Party Land which was already mentioned and is to be released this october.
>>743821250She's not.
>>743827626I seehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUhxPbhtDEU>Playing as a humanDead on arrival, RIP
>>743827953>Playing as a human>Dead on arrival, RIPoh that's not the actual nail in the coffin, it's the fact that it's switch exclusive that means it's dead-dead regardless of what characters get in.
>>743828086Oh, I have a Switch I might actually bu->$70Okay, I'm convinced they really want it to flop
Kissing sanrio characters in the mouth
>>743828781why
>>743827059Chuuuuuuu~
>>743828603Regardless of the price tag, I don't see this being something that people are going to gravitate towards for purchasing out of any sort of brand loyalty or interest just because it just looks boring.>45 minigames that're bare bones as hell just from seeing the trailereven their newest announced title is just another type of game they had on the phone and even that doesn't look to have enough appeal anyways; beatcats was an attempt towards teenagers but in all seriousness what is the end goal of all of this "sanrio games" stunt that's, again, just shovelware.
I recommend this game if you like zelda style puzzles, crafting snacks and furniture, fishing and exploring worlds while leveling up friendship rep. A lot like wow, especially now that it has housing.
>>743829628For me, (a slightly lower price) could be justified if we could have constant lobby threads to play together, but considering how fast the HKIA threads died on /v/ I have no faith for this game here or in the /trash/bin. I simply don't want to play with Erika (8yo USA) or Kouta (5yo Jap)
>>743819097>what am I in for?Animal Crossing-like game where you end up doing a gazillion jobs for basically every Sanrio character ever. Max comfy, tons of shit to do, solid game.There's an actual story to complete, a shitload of cabins to decorate to draw in visitors, a ton of stuff to cook, places to go, shit to find, and so on.Starts out slow though, you don't get much freedom until you get all your swimming gear.If you like it and want more, there's expansion-sized DLCs:Wheatflour: tons of puzzles (too many) and some cheaty QoL shit, but overall SUPER unpolished and kinda ass, and the dev literally can't fix/improve the DLC due to Nintendo's rules, unless they abandon Switch 1. Even the plot's kinda dumb and Cogimyun is a complete retard that you have to grind for way too long for minimal gain.City Town: a fuckhuge expansion of content across the board, more everything, more content, more puzzles, tons more clothing and furniture, tons of shops, a gigafuckton of food, a whole new story; the gold standard of DLCs. Plus it's got a fuckin' tube top with a zipper I want to undo with my teeth.>the main storyI'm still surprised there IS a main story, but there is one. Can't really beeline it though since progression is limited by friendship, and friendship progression is soft-capped by gifts. Could go faster if you look up recipes online though.Even if you DO rush it you're probably still looking at a month.>100%No, not unless you wanna make it an evergreen game you play for years. There's just too much shit and WAY too much variation on all shit, and a good amount of RNG. 100%ing the in-game achievements would be borderline tolerable but you're still looking at a minimum of a year.
>>743831097I know I might be trying to sideline the price of the game that is a good issue but because of the exclusivity problem it would make threads die way harder and faster. but I think the issue that the japs (generally, pico park is a good example of what worked from japan recently or years prior) have is that they aren't picking up the trends that could EASILY influence their gain, which is frinedslop and that is EASY money with the online environment currently, hell on /v/ of all places you've got a few games where it's just worked very well; if they made a sanrio friendslop game, maybe a puzzle one or even just a fucking platformer, for the PC mind you because that's where it is for international sales, then it would just work for them but why they don't is beyond me.On the note of games they could do, I know the TDM/TDM game idea is retarded when you think about the core base of who's into mascot characters which are generally female individuals but part of me thinks it can work if taken to a party game approach like fall guys, uther party, etc but I know deep down that keeping a skill component is going to drive a lot of casual people away from it because even if you give all of these hypothetical funny RNG elements you'll eventually end up with good players who'll make it feel like you're getting strangled; autistic rant but I just think there's potential for a mascot FPS party "platformer" game.
>>743819467If you insist. Gob is best boy
>>743831097>I simply don't want to play with Erika (8yo USA) or Kouta (5yo Jap)Why not?
>>743832693Because I want to play with my fellow /tdm/ fuckers instead
>>743832408I'm more of a Tobias Fünke man myself
>>743832693Because kids are generally retarded and one isn't within more similar company, but this is a big IF given enough mascot enjoyers find themselves on those games that allow for multiplayer to begin with.
>>743832207>Friendslop TDM /tdm/ gameI can actually see it being popular on /v/ as long as it isn't made by Sanrio. Unfortunately for them they carry the stigma of being associated with our autistic asses
>>743833919You're correct on a different level because of the surplus of existing material for sanrio stuff for it to just derail naturally into mascot fucker posting; I think even if it weren't by the company itself I still think there would be eventual issues, just referencing the friendslop game threads where they eventually became circlejerks iirc so a good deal of caution should be minded with something like it ever happening.
>>743832693Playing with little girls in games is dangerous. They seem friendly at first but the next thing you know they're hounding you with personal questions like how old you are and where you live. Then they start stalking you on the internet and before you know it there's a little barbie pedal car constantly passing by your home, almost the little girl riding around with it is trying to figure out when you're home and when you're asleep. At that point it's only a matter of time before she takes it a step further and breaks into your home, drags you out kicking and screaming, throws you in the back of her pedal car, and zooms off to God knows where to do God knows what with you. Happens hundreds of times every year. Don't let yourself become another statistic.
>>743829354Because i love them
>>743834474Unfortunately you are correct. These kind of threads always become cliques
>>743835673I wouldn't even say that's the more unfortunate part about mascot threads here on /v/ other than becoming off topic in nature after awhile, the most unfortunate thing about them is that they've clearly fallen off recently and not a lot of people are posting in them nearly as much as before, I think a lot of people who used to post in them have just fucked off after the hack and now we're left with the core userbase that's here to stick around with the side note of potential on topic game discussion that stills ends with the threads archiving before 100 posts.maybe sanrio can pull something off with their games or at the least reboot one of their older franchises to at least create some noise for engagement here on the chan.
>>743836294Yeah, I've noticed we are fewer and fewer people too, but /v/ is basically where most anons gather. This thread would be completely on topic on /a/ or even /jp/ but on the first one we would get banned immediately and I've never been on the second
>>743837474/a/ is soft grounds for posting if it's about the sanrio anime in existence but /jp/ is just yellow fever with touhou posting scattered around and is pretty much dead outside of that so it's a no go.This is meta posting but just seeing the in question "TDM" threads recently has just shown how the board is now dominated by the core user base and tourism is dying out intensely for off topic natured threads; there're threads with their select autists that make the threads nigh impossible to engage in or simply carry them by having so much content on hand or bullshit posting habits that may as well be ritual posts, I'm not going to deny who I am as a person and pretend I'm not looking for excuses to post my side of wants but I'm game for game related discussion, which I don't participate in mostly so I'm a secondary just hoping to add something. another issue I'll mention is that it feels like it's a repeat episode of the same stuff I've said or have seen said, trivial speak but I think that's a good reason why these threads can't go anywhere when there's nothing really to discuss that hasn't already been.
>>743839009Well, right now we are only two people posting in this thread. We need at least a third anon here

>>743839453guess company's right around the corner when in need and asking of it. I could attempt the only other thing I know I'm goodawful for but the best I can do is post chibi gatas, because I like cats.>>743839501YES

CANONICALLY has a human boyfriend
>>743841931True but she also CANONICALLY has a different boyfriend each season except in Happiness where she was single
>>743841931>CANONICALLY has a human boyfriend>who then turns himself into a chibi lion because he literally wants to fuck the dumb neet(canon) rabbit that badprobably the most powerful humanoid become jewelpet character in the franchise.
If you ignore the jewelpet spammer this is a great thread about a great game
