>>551874601>We will be bringing the following titles to Steam: Rance 01 + 02, Rance 03, Rance IX, Rance X, Rance Quest Magnum, Rance IV, and Sengoku Rance.Presumably VI? No 5D?
>>551874836I’d say 5D is still pretty important in order to grasp the degree of Bird’s cuckery and where Rizna and Copadon come from. Just bring out cheats + guide if you don’t like the gameplay
>>551875450i'm just going off Kagura's site. They are doing 01 and 02 as a combined though.
>>551874836It says they're doing VI + 5D
>>551874601Reminder that noone an stope Alice-chan
Rance gacha doko?
>>551876160sex that children can enjoy you say?
God the Takeda generals are so stupid why do they have all the stats boost in the world and proceeds to one shot one of my units just like that?
Never ever expected to get Rance on steam, now i can gift rape people Sengoku Rance.
Oh shit
Ya'll been bitching about gacha and "arusoftu no games" non stop for the last few years, yet, forget the fact that Alicesoft SELLS their smut and need that money to exist and to create more.While western gooning and weebshit (yes, i'm looking at you rn) community is an minority, it is still a massive market comparing to a small gook island in the pacific ocean.So far i haven't read any strong arguments against Steam release, mostly fart huffing elitist bullshit. Normies are always going to "REEEEEEE", don't listen, don't care. The probability of shit hitting the fan is non-zero but very damn close to it. There is far worse fetishist crap that being sold on Steam, nothing ever happens. At least while Gabe is aliveOn the other hand, what Alicesoft might do with their new money is entire different question, considering how many OGs have left.
Haniwas I was watching kenzen robo daimodaler and it is hilarioushttps://youtu.be/xYQWDmunGVs?si=xksov0Y64s9PihQy
>>551880006Western market is tiny it’s China that’s relevant
>>551880006Eastern content is far more popular in eastern countries. What are you talking about?
>>551880321And china loves gacha personally I wouldn’t be bothered if Rance gacha happens
So that's why the Templars were all giving Sachiko weird looks.
Haven't seen you in a while!
Angel SEX
>Sengoku Rance is actually going to be on steam
Why are you retards still sperging out about this?
>>551881861Seems like people are waking up and reacting to something actually fucking happening, and you are the one being a bit of a sperg.
>>551881270Cute
>>551881861Different hours = Different hannies waking up
>>551881861>puchi hanny learns about timezones.
>>551882128>>551882649>>551882724Doesn't everyone catch up on the thread before posting?
>>551882649/haniho/ is 5 niwas
>>551882889...Go to hell...
Care to explain, Rance?
>>551879569Sachiko my belovedThe only reason I managed to play like halfway through quest before dropping it
>sengoku rance gettting a steam releaseNO ACHIEVEMENTS NO BUY!
Pastel being a retard as usual.
Crap. Gotta wait until Rance 9 huh?
>>551874836Rance VI is bannedThey are probably going to release IV and bundle it with VI + 5D although it sounds weird af
>>551880006>Ya'll been bitching->three paragraphs to gomirror yourself buddy lmfao
And there she is.
Shit. Exactly like Kichikuou.
So here's where the best girl comes in.
Sill isn’t a slave anymore?
>>551880006>Ya'llStopped reading
>>551885659my bad senpaiI forgot this piece of shit thread is for waifu posting, bumping and blogposts onlyI'll promptly erase myself.
This fucking ass.
>>551884962>RAPE KING OF JAPAN>unlock all CGscan't wait to have that on my steam profile
damn are they skipping kichikuou
>>551884962>tada modo “negative” achievement
>>551886749It's freeware and non-canonThough Marathon is on steam, so who knows
>>551886846surely we'll get X in 2026
>>551886612>I forgot this piece of shit thread is for waifu posting, bumping and blogposts onlyyep, and it's MY piece of shit general, buddy. now make haste and cry elsewhere if you're not going to provide more than that
Sorry /haniho/ belongs to Leazas
>>551887197
>>551880006Yeah that happens with steam releases. Black Souls threads freaked out about those games going on steam, then nothing came of it and everyone's forgotten it already.I just hope Alicesoft is actually getting a decent amount of money from it, with not one, not two, but THREE middlemen taking a cut from all these sales.
>>551884962It's Kaguya Games doing the Steam releases, the Steam build of their releases tend to be extremely bare bones to avoid any risk of getting blocked with the majority of the game in an off-Steam patch. It works great for getting stuff onto Steam to begin with, but it does tend to limit stuff like achievements (which they often don't include at all).
>>551886612>"I forgot this piece of shit thread is for waifu posting, bumping and blogposts only">got mad when people talked about something elsecurious
>>551880006*Y'allbut yes far worse is already on steam
>>551888543>THREE middlemen taking a cut from all these salesnice way to encourage me to continue to just not pay for h games lol
>>551888543Revenue wise, if the series gets any traction on Steam, it would do many times the sales it got on the MG storefront, and Alicesoft already saw the MG sales alone as enough to justify handing them the whole series.
>>551888746Same can't wait for Alicesoft to go all ages
>steam release Based, now I can buy both the limited edition of 03 and the digital version a little cheaper.
>>551886612Genuinely don't know which thread you are comparing this place with when majority of /vg/ threads consist of bot spammer , schizoposting or gacha revenue pvp.As far as vg is concerned this is probably the best general.
>>551886493The Steam version without a patch is likely to be little more than a title screen and enough content to pretend that it is a game. Terms like "Slave" adds friction to the approval process, especially for Kagura Games who tends to make unpatched releases so sanitized that they don't even require a mature content disclaimer, which "slave" would require. For other publishers, the same approach is how something like Criminal Border becomes Liminal Border and Hentai Prison becomes HenPri on Steam.
>>551886493OG prototype Rance be like:
>>551886493they should just call her his wife and true love
>>551888991I haven't played since Sengoku Rance, more or less popping in since steam, but when the fuck did Kou get lewded outside that one scene in SR?
>>551890482Near the start of X.
>>551890681guess Imma pretend it doesn't happen and skip it whenever I touch X
>>551886493serves -> servus -> slave
>>551890939all virginities must go!
>>551891092DEATH OF THE AUTHOR MOTHERFUCKER
>>551891120actually I'm not sure it works like that BUT I'M GONNA DO IT ANYWAY
List of canonical shit that Rance do in SROfficial History RouteFuck 300 girlsOrochi killedConquered all of JAPANUnits recruited and kept (If I say <clan> units, that means all recruitable units from that house):Uesugi units, including Katsuko and TorakoSanada TourinAshikaga unitsAsakura unitsHoujou units, including SouunThe tanukis (not Ieyasu) and SenhimeAkashi Kazemaru (technically)Dokuganryu unitsMouri unitsAgiredaFuuka and NatoriSuzume and InukaiTakuga unitsReinforcements from both Leazas and ZethCharacter clears: anyone but Ryouma
>>551891669and gay fried chicken killed too. dont remember if it was rance or souun though
>>551874836my copium is that IV is a typo for VI and they are remaking 4-5d
is there a way to play sd rance in japanese without beating the whole pc-88 game?
>>551890939Gay fried chicken
Maybe a new beat game next year?
ok nvm, somebody actually dumped the og hint disc, nice
Would you still love your rance waifu if she had Eropicha's body.
>>551894045New MILFge only confirmed
>>551894612Obviously notOn the flipside, would you like Eropicha if she wasn't a slambeast?
>>551891669Damn. How many points did he get? 5?
>>551894436WTF IS THAT??!!
Wouldn't it be funny if 03 got an English dub?
Accents Helman - Russian Leazas - English (Received) Free Cities - German Zeth (1st class) - French Zeth (2nd class) - Indian Kalar - Finnish Japan - Japanese Angels/Devils - Italian Demons - Turkish
>>551896209What sense would those accents make in a setting where those countries don't exist save for Japan?
>>551896209They're all Japanese because they all speak Japanese. It's canon that a Japanese guy conquered most of the world a while back so the language everyone speaks and writes is literally Japanese, as written in the game. The only beings that are old enough to remember a time before that guy are truly ancient, over 2500 years old. This is before the Kalar had a unified society and only a couple centuries after the Tenma Bridge was built. Even Chaos and his pals aren't old enough to remember a world where not everyone spoke Japanese.
>>551898303I've only played up until the beginning of 03 so far...you say everyone canonically speaks japanese in-universe? LOLI thought it was just a thing of convenience meant for the player, not something that would get an explanation.
>>551898303Which doesn’t make sense given Fujiwara unified the continent in Nighcisa era
>>551898597Yeah I assumed that too but nope, there's an in-universe explanation. It also explains why stuff like kotatsu or japanese food are everywhere. well, of course it's just a device to explain the Japanese writers inserting stuff from their own lives, but still.
>>551895027No. I would rather be with my waifu in a fat body than a hot bitch with Eropicha's personality.
>>551899279If Eropicha went to the sex change temple she'd become a fat bastard from some NTR story.
>>551895697rance 2 hint disc. i don't know why but the intro is pretty spooky
>>551895775you wanna make me puke?
>>551896626>>551898303so fucking funny posts like this get made while copandon speaks portugese, tada & crew dont give a shit
>>551895775i'd rather have an ai dub on all other games using 03's voices
>>551899985Copandon speaks osaka-ben in the original. It gets localized as portuguese words (because her home is called Portugal and Portugal is probably named that since it's the city-state that does trade with Japan)Alicesoft is from Osaka, so in a way you could say everyone else is talking with a kanto accent and Copandon is the only normal one
>>551899950>dubbed Sill>dubbed Kanami>dubbed LiaJust imagine...
>>551899715Do you have a link for the game?I'm curious about it
>>551900371there's a repacked rance ii pc-98 version that's already translated and with the hint disc patched in: https://baba-jpc.neocities.org/translations/rance2/rance2the hint disc should have a bunch of goodies and a mini-adv with gakuen senki characters. might as well blogpost something here.
I give up trying to conquer Takeda. I'll just do Tokugawa and hannies first.
>>551900262anon, please, stop it
>>551900606fun fact: cgs are mostly uncensored in the cg viewer (they have a semitransparent black overlay that's easy to remove by xoring pixels or whatever)
>>551900262no thanks
they cute
there's a quiz minigame where you can undress the girl on the cover. also this is the sd rance mini-adv
>check the steam pages out of curiousity>they aren't even marked 18+Finally I can play in the same room as my parents and not be embarrassed if someone looks over my shoulder. Thanks Alice : ]>Rance IX as a card game, 03 as strategylol
>>551903440Rance IX *tagged as a card game I meant.
i played gakuen senki only because of this crossover story but the game was so forgettable i don't remember who these are anyway lol
>>551900606ThanksAlso do you have a link for Rance III hint disk too?
>>551903440Kagura does everything they can to avoid 18+ marks, since that blocks Chinese Steam sales.
>>551904475no, i still haven't reached rance 3. i know toushin toshi has a hint disc where you play as rance tho, but it's untranslated
Rance? Ugly, weak and has a small penisBird? Handsome, strong and has an enormous cock
Nevermind. I'll just accept that I got filtered. I'll try to follow some kind of playthrough at least instead of using cheat engine so that I'll learn something.
>>551906457XD what game?
>>551908609SR
Any guide/walkthrough for Dai Sengoku Rance?
so...Rance on steam?
Rance needs lolis, shotas and anal scenes to be interesting.Too vanilla. I want crossdressing little boys to get filled with Rance Cock while lolis rub their slutty little bodies all over him, waiting to be impregnated.
>>551914889uhm play monmusu?
>>551915060of course I have already. I'm saying that RANCE should become a PEDOPHILE, and the games would improve due to it. I'm not into furry but there should be furry girls, too. And boys.
>>551914889>of course I have already. I'm saying that RANCE should become a PEDOPHILE, and the games would improve due to it. I'm not into furry but there should be furry girls, too. And boys.
>>551914889even more?
>>551917127what's with all the mindbreak and pain? can't he be gentle with these girls?
>>551917127hag, hag, hag, hebe, hebe, loliNo shotas and only 1 loli
Pure young maiden
>>551921043literally an old, withered husk
>>551921043hag but still erotic
I shall be gifting Rance games to many people. The gospel of my hero must spread.
Why did Rance ask his slave-wife to carry Noah to safety early on in 03 when she was covered all over in weird monster semen? If I was in his place I'd want my bitch to stay away from that gross shit.
>>551922342his slave not slave wife
>>551922464C'mon, everybody treats them like they are an item. Including themselves.
>>551922714>punches her, doesn't let her eat the food she makes, makes her carry all the stuff while traveling, makes her walk into traps to disarm them, fucks other women while she watches and cries
>>551886493They are very cautious since if they get slapped with an 18+ label on Steam they can't sell it to China.
>>551923686An abusive relationship is still a relationship.Hell, that description fits most romance novels that women read by the dozens per year.
>>551914684Yes
>>551906426
>>551924357Rance is extremly problematic and will surely be bullied off steam in less than a week, if it ever gets there at all
>>551924103It's also exactly how you'd treat a slave. Which he does. Because she's a slave. The most common reaction from onlookers is being concerned for Sill until they realize she's a weirdo except for some parts of 03 where it was obvious the writer was pushing the romance angle because it was written later than the other games were.
>>551925103Rance might be different just because of how well known the series is, but Steam has historically not cared about rape, just character appearance, especially if school uniforms are involved. The main exception was when payment processors were yelling at them, but Sleepless came out uncut on Steam with this content disclaimer after the payment processor mess so Steam didn't make changes because of that, just took down what Visa/Mastercard flagged. Obviously all of the games in the series have a handful of designs that would keep it from getting released uncut, which is why VI got banned years ago, but an all ages sanitized build for a title that would be almost fine if completely uncut isn't getting banned unless there is outside pressure to remove it.
>>55192574201 also had a scene where they take a walk in the park hand in hand and onlookers comment with "what a nice couple" and the like. Until Rance becomes too tsundere due to the comments and leaves.
>>551926960Rance is the biggest tsundere in all eroge
>>551926960They both use the slave and master thing as a pretext to stay together despite Sill wanting more and knowing she will never get it. He likes having a woman around that is his with no responsibilities attached, and when he was young and the idea of love and someone loving him freaked him out it was a convenient excuse. However, Rance is also willing to endanger her, use her as bait, and shows disregard for her well being in so many instances as she is his property and thus thinks about her differently. You could say there's love involved and many characters do play up that aspect as a sort of mouth of the writer, but Rance at his core is a jackass and isn't capable of normal love. That inbetween of being treated preciously and like a uncared for lowly servant is what drives the fujos mad.
KANAMI WON, did they replace Sheila with Kanami to avoid the slave thing?
>>551914889>Rance needs lolis...to be interesting.this is true, otherwise i wouldn't need to make posts like >>551079793the series would be marginally better
They removed Sill from 03, interesting
>>551932375KANAMIANAMI
>>551932628Once you recruit Sel does anyone even use her in battles?
>>551932375The Steam version without a patch isn't going to be getting far enough to say much about Sheila.
>>551932375>>551932628Keep in mind that all of these releases on Steam itself will be little more than a couple scenes just to have something that Valve won't reject nor require them to include any potentially adult content.
>>551932375TRUE HEROINE
>>551931105You almost certainly played more of these games than I did, but the impression I got was that he's just commitment-phobic and doesn't have the emotional maturity to either give or accept love from others. Not that he's incapable of love or that he can't understand the concept of love at all. I think I remember that mindset from long ago, like, you know you like women, the physical aspects of love are all there, but you're spooked by all these feelings that come part and parcel with attraction in the wider sense, either as the giving or the receiving one, and you tend to lack the courage and the maturity to risk exposing yourself emotionally to someone of the opposite sex even though you sort of want to, because that's just how intimacy works. So he does what emotionally immature people do and plays hot and cold almost at random because relief from the object of your attraction or fulfillment at last both come off as more attractive options compared to staying in this emotional no man's land, instead of steering the course of the relationship with a steadier hand like a more mature person would.
what's with the 'critical' posts all of a sudden... stop being so lame
>>551925742The Romance angle is always present ever since Rance IEven in II and III it's very obvious between Rance and Sill
>>551936703It's there, but it's not like how they make it later in the series. There's much fewer shoujo moments.
AIYAAAAA
>>551925742No, it was laready there in Rance II, III and IV.
Oh shit! Reset doesn't have a level cap!
