The real story here is the highlighting of the flawed attempt to redact a document. Happens a lot.
I’ve used bad redaction to my advantage at work to make money, I’m all for other people using bad redaction techniques :)
Surprised Like A Dragon sales are lower than others. Been gaming since a kid in the 90s, and it easily ranked in my top 10. It's an instant classic.
- where do I start? There's a dozen titles and no clear entry point
- supposedly the series' genre changed over time? So if you like it in one game it might be a different game in a sequel
- it looks weirdly unserious? Like much of the advertising focuses on doing bizarre side activities rather than any actual plot-driven message
- all this on top of having a very non-traditional environment for an RPG which already is a bit of a hurdle in messaging what the game will be like
It's just very unclear from the outside how to get started with this series, and what I'll get if I do pick one to try.

If you don't like the anime style, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is directly inspired by Persona's combat system but has a more mature tone. I liked it a lot, and it's 97% positive reviews on Steam, so you're likely to enjoy it too.
>It’s amazing how valuable of an IP Sonic is. It still sells consistently well after all those years. There have been ongoing movies and tv shows so each generation of kids grows up with Sonic.
I think there's something about Sonic's face that is timeless, innate, prehistoric even.
persona 5 royal doing 7.25mil and sega still acting like it's some niche anime side hustle. meanwhile they keep pushing sonic into every genre except tax software

The only foolproof way I trust is to redact it digitally, print it on paper, and scan it. I’ve used bad redaction to my advantage at work to make money, I’m all for other people using bad redaction techniques :)
You've certainly piqued my curiosity. Can you say any more?

Interesting that most of the best selling games aren't sequels.
It’s more interesting to me that so many are . It’s rare for any product to have more success in later invocations than the first edition, that is where the narrative is fresh and strong- and even in the event sequels are stronger, they tend to increase sales of the first season/movie/etc; because people want the whole experience.

Aren't sequels always touted as safe bets?
I think the margin is usually 70%~ but depends a lot I guess.
You can safely bet that >50% of people who enjoyed seeing/playing the first of something would be interested in the second.

Story-based content is what struggles with sequels because it's really hard to both capture the feeling of the original sufficiently to satisfy existing fans while also telling a new story that's interesting in its own right. Being derivative without being too derivative.
To see WH3 sell less than Three Kingdoms was a surprise to me.
