It's dangerous to go alone.

what is this? a game?

Walnut glitching faggot.
Bet you're going to pirate the game too, aren't ya?

Am I the only one who found this game to be shitty and boring?
Should I just move along and wait til dungeons or is selling the best part of this game because it's really boring

>>40081911
WHAT IS A GAME?

>>40081970

I find that this game is only fun if you know how to play it

Kinda like real life

>>40081892
What about you?

>>40081982
a miserable pile of pixels

>>40081911
Welcome to the internet!
You chose rather unusual place for beginners but still...
You see, that game in OP's pic is called Recettear.
It's a real bomb these days. It's a game about CAPITALISMho!

CPITALISM HO

Full version where?!

>>40081970
You're probably not the only one and I guess you have a right to your own oppinion.

>>40082068

guys cancel your pre-orders, the game is unwinnable

>>40082150
You fucking suck then.

The full version is going to be boring with all the money I got...

Fuck capitalists.

>>40082213
Why do I see screenshots poorly cropped like this all the time
It doesn't seem like it'd be difficult to just cap what you wanted in the first place

I did much better on my second playthrough than I did the first time. Got Charme by day 4, got my merchant level up to 6, had Louis at level 13, and had about 20000 pix after my weekly debt was paid. Capitalism Ho bitches.

english patch for full version whar

Recettear is in my opinion an unmitigated train wreck of a game, broken to the point of being unplayable. Reviews are slowly trickling in and according to Carpe Fulgar other reviewers found it difficult but manageable, but even after much effort and experimentation I still found it unplayable from the 4th week (week 5 requires 500,000 pix).

The reason for retracting my feature is that after 12 hours of playing I came to the conclusion that I hated the game savagely and didn’t want to waste another second on it. My save file was 8 hours, the extra 4 were experimenting to see just how broken its mechanics are.

My reason for deleting the posts was because I felt it unfair to leave negative comments when they were still fixable. Carpe Fulgar officially emailed all reviewers stating they were still tweaking the game to fix a crash bug and improve USB pad support. So despite retracting my feature and never wanting to touch it again, I thought I would hold back any negative views and email them in the hope they might address some problems. No sense putting people off when CF could fix things. This is a new company doing cool new things, and I felt the need to give them and their first release a fair chance.

Carpe Fulgar has since gotten back to me, explaining that other reviewers didn't have complaints about the difficulty (he took a while replying because he wanted to contact them all), and that it is "manageable".

But I stand by my view that once you go beyond the scope of the demo Recettear is disastrously broken. As in one of the most broken games I’ve played in my 20+ years. Recettear is punishingly difficult.

wait so this is a real game and it costs money?

>>40082315
Copypasta from /v/.
Proceed to ignore.

Week 1 requires 10K, week two I think maybe needs 40K, week 3 needs 80K, and week 4 needs 200K. Week 5 needs 500k. Which is impossible. This isn’t me being a bad gamer. This isn’t a dexterity contest ala Street Fighter 4. This is a game which relies on good intellect, and some perseverance in the dungeons. And I am a pedantic intellectual who wastes inordinate amounts of time messing with a system to understand how it functions. I love a strategy game and I take them seriously. So if I of all people found it almost impossible, casual players are going to as well. After numerous attempts I managed to get as high as 127,000 for week 4, and this was by ignoring dungeon busting and abusing the save function to spend every slice of the day in the store selling, reloading when people refused to buy.

A note about dungeons: as DAIS rehashed from my original statements, they don’t give very good loot, despite being 8+ hours in, on the 3rd dungeon and 15 floors deep. The loot was only marginally better than the demo, in that I was getting the odd ice crystal worth about 2k, but otherwise endless slime jellies. If there’s a hidden trigger to get more loot, it’s well hidden. I once got a pot worth 20k, but this was for defeating a boss, and to make the dungeons worthwhile in week 4, you’d need to be getting a pot or 2 on every floor, since one day’s dungeon busting is worth 4 selling segments. Also, the tutorials give you wrong information, since if you follow Tear’s advice you won’t get high combos and patrons won’t bring in much cash, you should actually sell mostly low, in order to build up their favour so they bring in more money. If they have to haggle with you, their liking for you goes down, which is BAD.

>>40081769
Needs romance option
;_;

Also, heroes repeatedly try to buy gear which they can’t equip, totally ignoring the gear you left out for them which you want them to buy. You can lend them gear, but this means entering a dungeon with 15K or more worth of items, which you get back if you finish the dungeon, but if you die it only allows you to return with a single item. The whole set-up is so ridiculously stupid. They might as well make death in a dungeon permanent, since no one, absolutely no one is going to go along with the bring 1 item back routine. You’ll just reload your save. The entire game is rotten with idiotic design decisions, to the point where I can’t remember when last I hated a game so much.

Anyway, EasyGameStation must have realised their system was broken, because to combat this total lack of balancing, the game expects you to loop back to the start after Game Over with all acquired items and hero levels. Presumably after several loops you’re able to sell enough through the early weeks to have enough money left over for week 4. Which would be fine, except you still have to go through the laborious motions of playing through every day, unlocking the heroes before using them, AND unlocking the dungeons before accessing them. Meaning you still have to do the training dungeon, and you still have to recruit the woman with the knives. And you still have to play through everything. Basically I looped after 8 hours and would have had to replay ALL of those hours. I’d estimate it would take me 6 hours minimum to get back to where I stopped.

>>40082315
Take your copypasta shit back to /v/ faggot.

>>40082276
>>40082097
This shit needs to stop. You're just as bad as those lazy idiots who ask for "sauce" in every fucking thread without doing any searching yourself. Go on Steam, look up RECETTEAR, and figure it out for yourself.

This to me is the worst kind of game design imaginable. It’s tantamount to any RPG you can name randomly deleting your save file if it feels like it. Isn’t this what Dead Rising did? I never played Dead Rising, but read about how its levelling system worked in that to complete the game you had to die and restart a few times, and it sounded like a good idea. Having experienced this kind if infuriating nonsense first hand, I can say now that I despise it. It’s a lazy way of balancing the game: just have the player keep looping until they have enough inventory. I don’t know how often this needs to happen, maybe every 8 hours or so you need to loop back to the start. I find any need to loop wholly unacceptable.

I will be very interested to see what others have to say, and if anyone has the stomach to endure several loops so as to pass week 4. Or indeed if anyone here finishes it without looping.

>>40082335

can´t handle the truth viralfag?

I finally hit merchant level 10 after a few tries.

I actually saved my game and kept it for full version at the beginning of day 8 because I can't get any more merchant XP in the demo and I don't want to waste any. My shop's looking pretty spiffy with stone floors, green carpet and a new wallpaper.

I gladly bought the game, if this is successful then maybe we'll get more weeaboo shit on Steam.

CAPITALISM HO!~

>>40082213
how did you sell the 20k vase?

>500K
>impossible

Who wrote that copypasta, a casual?

>>40082405
The reviewfag doesn't know how to play the game.
Merchant Lv 10 with 90k pix on week one here. The 5th week's 500k payment is quite easy to achieve from then (where people will actually buy your expensive shit).

I find it more funny how you're so naive to believe a review on some faggot's blog.

>>40082485
He didn't make it obvious enough? It took him several huge posts just to say "the game is too hard, therefore the game is bad".

Whoever that bases his/her opinions on a review (especially official ones) is a casual and should not be taken seriously

>>40082485
i think /v/ is just mad that /a/ can beat them at their own game

>>40082150
What, does Louis finally get tired of your shit and lead a violent revolution against the bourgeoisie?

40k zeny
Louie level 20
Merchant level 10
Charme unlocked
Archer event done

15 floors a go master race.

>>40082405

Whoever wrote this must be a liberal who sucks with money. I had like 1m+ by the game's end in the jap version.

>mfw i played this shit way before it got on steam

>>40082482

I sold mine to the old man when he requested a treasure.

>>40082573

Oh, you mean meeting the archer girl in the town square? I can't wait to play as her

>>40082573
What's this archer event I keep hearing people talk about?

>>40082549
Oh crap, Im not on /v/

>>40082482

Stop selling things at 130%, start building customer loyalty by selling at around 103-106% and getting Near Pin and massive Just Combos. The customers will wink at you when they "level up". Sooner or later, one of them will ask for a treasure, and sell that motherfucking vase like a boss

>>40082576
Oh shi.. look out! It's a pirate! How unique

It's not like I'm giving you this bread because I want you to live, I just need someone to carry my stuff is all... baka...

>>40082651
>like a boss

Heeeell yeah

What is the Near Pin bonus? I get it randomly.

Oh Charme, you pedo.

>>40082724
Old Man - 105%
Young Man - 106%
Guild Master - 105%
House Wife - 104%
Little Girl - 103%
Louie - 103%
Charme - 106%

>>40082724

You get it when your price is close to what the customer estimate the price is, usually around 103-106% depending on the person. The stingy loli and Louie's estimate is usually 103%, and Charme/Young BRO/Guildmaster's guess is around 106%

>>40082730
>them deep emotional expressions

So any tips on how to rack up those ridiculous amounts of Pix? I've beaten the demo with a modest amount of profit after payments, but not the level I see in the screecaps.

>>40082405

lol, what a butthurt casual. What's the hardest game you've played, pong?

>>40082823

Getting rare ingredients and fusing stuff. Also selling that vase.

who will let aa loli runs a shop ...

Capitalism has never been so cute

>Week 5 needs 500k. Which is impossible.
Filthy prole.

>>40082405
>truth
He's the only reviewer who had a real problem with the difficult.

And other comments he's made shows that he has pretty much no idea how to properly play the game.

I mean fuck, several anons have already said that they were easily able to make the payments while playing the game in moonrune-version.

>>40082861
Does that mean I have to start dungeon crawling early then? I never really started that until day 7. And what's this about the vase?

Sorry, I just dled the game like, last night and did 2 casual playthroughs.

>>40082863
inb4 pedobear

i see that the carpe fulgur defense force is at work

>>40082951

The most successful playthroughs require you to run directly to the Adventurers' Guild and run through Hall of Trials AND all 15 floors of Jade Way on Day 2, so yea.

>>40082951
Do all the dungeon crawling in the second day..
after beating the first dungeon, go to the second one without visiting any other place before.. This way you'll be able to get Charme in the next day and sell everything you need until day 8..

>Also, the tutorials give you wrong information, since if you follow Tear’s advice you won’t get high combos and patrons won’t bring in much cash, you should actually sell mostly low, in order to build up their favor so they bring in more money.

Yes, follow the advice of the jew fairy who's trying to take your house. What could possibly go wrong?

>>40083090
>>40083025
Do I use my starting cash to try and buy Louie decent equipment, or just go with the default?

>>40083120
Plus, you know, it would kind of defeat the point of the game if it explained every little trick and start available.

>>40083163
Just buy a Longsword and go for it

>>40083163

Buy just the Longsword

>>40082405
>>40082372
>>40082341
>>40082315
Casual fag.

>>40083163
Long Sword is usually enough, but I just went with the default.

You can equip anything you find while in the dungeon and it will go back into your bags automatically after you clear it.

>>40083163

Oh and remember to chain the fuck out, especially on the first floor. You can usually get a 20-25 green slime chain on the very first floor of Hall of Trials and get up to level 4 or 5. Louie should be 7-9 by the end of Hall of Trials. You don't need to combo on Jade Way, just focus on getting the treasures and surviving

>>40083335
What is this chaining you speak of?

>>40083351

Killing monsters of the same species. The imps that throw rocks and punch you are the same species, but the two different tentacle rape monsters are different.

to sale the vase just make people buy a lot of stuff, eachtime they will buy more expensive stuff, by day 7 or 8 someone might buy the vase

>>40083351
>>40083387

Oh, and you get more exp the higher your chain is, that's the important part

>>40083387
>>40083401
I'm assuming you have to kill them at the same time, then (i.e. kill all the slimes on a level before killing the imps)

>Week 5 needs 500k pix
Well fuck, I'm going to be playing this for forever. I'm a terrible salesman, can't Recette just whore herself and I could play that?

>>40083511
How do you think she pays the rent on her cardboard box in the bad end?

>>40083482

Yea, you have to go around a couple of times

>>40083511

>>40082730

So.. after the box end, she gets taken home by Charme?

I'm okay with this
