What the fuck is up with all those weird titles for japanese games?

What does this one even mean?

The premis of the anime is that in the future they have basically done away with crime.

How? by removeing all individuals that dont comform to the "norm".

 

"actively measuring the populace's mental states, personalities, and the probability that individuals will commit crimes, using a "cymatic scan" of the brain. The resulting assessment is called a Psycho-Pass (サイコパス Saikopasu?). When the probability of a person engaging in crimes measured by the Crime Coefficient (犯罪係数 Hanzaikeisū?) index exceeds a certain level in an individual, he or she is pursued, apprehended, and killed if necessary." - wiki.

 

Madatory Happiness makes sense for it, as a title.



Great news. Another title for the ps4. Also great to see vita and pc getting in on the action.

I never understood not localizing the Xbox version of these visual novels. I would have bought the Steins;gate one for my 360 in a heartbeat. I'm pretty sure there's market enough to make profit, considering all versions work the same.

Will buy. I want some visual novels that aren't Otome.

This isn't an Otome VN is it?

How can you not like Otome games?

It's not that I dislike them, they're just not my cup of tea.

I'd imagine it's things like: extra licencing fees; extra QA work; unfamiliarity with the manufacturer; possibility of print run minimum orders that they can't meet (NISA try to do physical runs for pretty much everything they release).

Or it may be something as simple as 5pb are going to release it digitally on XB1 in the west just like Experience Inc. are doing with Stranger.

Something they never did with Steins;gate, so maybe they don't even consider that.

Well, maybe not.  Perhaps they didn't consider 360 a viable place for a niche VN in 2015.  Not saying that's a fair decision or even the right decision, but I don't think it's a logical stretch to come to that conclusion.

Maybe the source code was too old and 5pb didn't want to go back to code it in?  (360 game released in 2009; PS3/Vita versions were 2013 iirc).

Maybe, who knows. I don't see an X1 localized version happening, but weirder things have transpired.
