@Kefka Quite true. Well will see how the english reviews will look like. Most reviews I've read (or heard about more specifically) give praise to the combat. Though kinda funny, since from what little I know Tales of series are quite good on the combat area but tends to be criticized when it comes to characters and story. Would think that is something they would be willing to improve upon.

Well it sold 400k, so, whatever people were saying, most people don't seem to have cared about that one whit.

 

It's funny I saw a thread on neogaf which basically said exactly what I said "Tales fans will fixate on one thing and ignore everything else," more or less. That's what I see most reviewers do though generally.

 

It's almost like a cheap shot at the end of a fight or something "oh but the frame rate on the 37th minute dipped for .05 seconds" People who can't think in broad strokes and weighh the grand sweep of something are surely unique and interesting people who have things to contribute, but I don't think video game criticism is really one of them.

 

I realize that's not what they're all saying or even about this game but I find it too time-consuming to sift and find those points anyway.

And even this doesn't make sense, praise to the combat? The Tales games have had the same combat system basically for like 20 years, and which wasn't even really made by them in the first place. It was made mostly by the Star Ocean people. I was always sort of understanding of the notion that JRPG combat could be boring and the stories/characters not so hot, but suddenly it went the other way around it, which makes no sense to me.

 

I usually play western games for the gameplay, JRPGs for the story characters. I mean see how cute Milla is, so cute!

Got Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 2 for the Vita today.(I feel bad for every cashier that has to say that long name every time)

 

Fun so far, but then again I haven't even put 2 hours into it.

 

More than what most western reviewers play though!

 

And Rebirth 1 is coming to Steam tomorrow. My computer can't run it though, I don't game much on it.

[Seraphim24]

Ha, actually I just watched a gameplay vid... you know....

 

.. maybe it might be a bit on the boring side

 

There are so few games coming out this year I actually want to play though so I'll probably still end up getting it.

 

Still kinda cool though, this is what I was watching, even though I don't know what they're saying.

I should have ordered Rebirth 2 too.

 

Instead I'm waiting here untill the store finally updates so I can download it .

Just finished the vn Planetarian. Seemed like a smart choice from that anime sale Steam had a short while back. 

 

Don't know if anyone here's played it, but good grief, if its going to become a thing that whatever vn's I pick out come with a free falcon punch to the feels, I might just have to not bother any more. I'm questioning whether it actually was a smart choice.

 

That said, it was still freakin' great and all, so I absolutely recommend it. Just be ready for... y'know. Though its also entirely possible that I'm just way too soft when it comes to these things. Eh. 

 

Great soundtrack tho.

 

[Liamv2]

Ooooh I downloaded that too. I should get round to playing it when i'm done with Grisaia no kajitsu.

[Gravisanimi]

Ooooh I downloaded that too. I should get round to playing it when i'm done with Grisaia no kajitsu.

Which I will be playing after I finish one of the 3 games I am currently attempting.

[EarthboundNess]

Ah well, see how that goes then.

 

What's Grisaia? Up to much?

[Liamv2]

It's awesome. Massively fucked up but awesome.

[EarthboundNess]

Huh, its kickstarter for an official western release is just about to finish. Good timing. I'll have to remember that one.

[Zeroth Angel]

It's awesome. Massively fucked up but awesome.

It is? 

 

What route are you on right now?

[Liamv2]

Sachi's right now. I've already played Makina's and Amane's.

 

Spoiler

You know the one with the Cannibalism orgy. That was horrifying.

[Zeroth Angel]

Spoiler

You know the one with the Cannibalism orgy. That was horrifying.

Oh yeah. I almost forgot about that.

 

Spoiler

I remember reading her route and when Kazuki told Amane that she didn't want to eat I started to get very suspicious of the whole situation. Still didn't expect that CG with the teacher and that student.

 

I still think Makina's bad end was a little bit more disturbing.

[Liamv2]

Oh after watching that bad end i'm too scared to check any other ones.

[Zeroth Angel]

I can underdstand that.

 

Although I think the other bad ends aren't as bad as that one.

Cool, might play if after I've finished Vesperia. Dunno how far that will be though. Everytime I think I am nearing the end it starts another quest. Not that I mind XD

 

Spoiler

Estelle got captured by Alexei, so maybe now I am getting close to the end.

[Gravisanimi]

Found a thing while reading some old things.

 

http://www.usgamer.n...o-retrospective

 

It basically does what I did for the first game for all 3 games.

Now go play them.

[Liamv2]

Yes. I post that all the time. I'm pretty sure I sent that too you before too.

[Gravisanimi]

Yes. I post that all the time. I'm pretty sure I sent that too you before too.

 

You did

[Liamv2]

You've been doing that a lot lately.

The new Neptunia forms 

 

http://gematsu.com/2...y-ii-next-forms

 

I like Purple Heart's design the most.

[Liamv2]

I like how they all suit peoples image of each console though Neptunia has always been good at that.

[Mr.House]

Finished up G-Senjou no Maou last night(I feel bad I didn't read it along time ago) Excellent VN, by far one of the best VNs I have ever read. Vwery good story with a fantastic protag and antagonist.

[Liamv2]

Oooh i've heard about that. Still have no idea what it's about though. I should probably look that up.
