>>21912464>that had a shitton of fansAnon, Drakengard and Replicant had almost NO fanbase. I'm saying this as someone who adored the games in spite of how janky they were; they did not even have a cult classic status prior to the release of Automata, they were simply unknown in every sense of the word. Again, I truly do love them, but even in Japan they were astoundingly niche.
