Soo I played the first few minutes and stopped just now because my Vita has to charge but I like what I played so far 
Nothing revolutionary but as a fan of the franchise and for only 20 it's alright. I'm curious to see the story unfold too...

Well, you can switch your account with just one memory card, but that means you have to format your memory card. You can make a backup to your PC (or PS3, I think) before you switch so you can restore all your save games, settings and installed games when you switch back. But that backup may take quite a while depending on how much is on your Vita.
Heh, I know it's probably not THAT complicated, but it's like they don't want my money... I guess I'll pass for now, especially seeing the mixed reactions the game is receiving.
It's a shame because I've wanted to play another Imageepoch game ever since I finished Arc Rise Fantasia (fantastic game IMO), but none of them get localized =/.

Put in about an hour or so today. Been waiting for this game ever since I heard about it two years ago, and so far I'm liking it.
Took a while to get used to some of the buttons and the mechanics but it seems to be working well now.

Played 40 mins .
It's alright it's different from what i expected but the mecanics are fun.
Does the dialog choices influence things like mission , chapters or endings ?

Freakin' Finally, My god.
Wanted to play, kinda enjoyed the action and storyline of the anime. Loved the intro of the game, just couldn't play it.

Finished the main story yesterday.
Now, onwards to the extra missions! I'm quite looking forward to them. It's impressive that the battle system has stayed fresh the whole way through so far.
The normal end, humanity is doomed - but wait, there's a better end! ...In which humanity is also doomed. I couldn't help but laugh. It's not a huge stretch to think that they could make new humans like they made polar bears, but if that's really the case, you'd think they would have shown it... I guess it's written in law somewhere that every BRS work has to be thoroughly yuri.

The hardcore gamer review sounds a lot more harsh than a 3/5 to me, not that it really matters. Still plan on getting this at some point, have to hold off due to Deadly Preminition and Soul Sacrifice next week. Plus given exams I shouldn't be getting anything

They both basically say the same thing; game looks slick, plays fun, story is silly.

Finished the first boss fight. Very fun, loved the graphics.
Also went back for the Golden parts, got two segments completed. How many are in each chapter?

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Durante always knows how to get the incredible image quality!
I initially thought the game wasn't even available in the Austrian PSN store: it's not in the new releases, and it's not even in the full list of PSP games. You can only get to it by searching -- and then the description is in completely broken German, as I said above. Still much better than not being available at all, but I would be surprised if the number of copies sold in Austria reaches double digits
Yeah, you can easily run the game at completely arbitrary resolutions without any issue on a decent PC.Durante always knows how to get the incredible image quality!
I'm a ways into the extra missions now, and some of them should totally have been part of the main story. The variation in goal and loss condition is much greater than the main game. There's some interesting additional characterization, too.
The visual quality of emulated PSP games will never cease to amaze me. Even on my 2000, it looks quite good, but the jaggie-free magic of up-rezzing is wonderful. I just don't get why the texture on BRS's bra is so much worse than everything else, though.
Each stage has 3 challenges to kill golden guys, of 3 or 4 guys each, but there are more of them in the level than you need to complete those goals. It's kind of misleading.

By the way, the thread title is from this is if no one knew.
Ok, so I got this and have been at it for about an hour and I gotta say it's actually pretty fun. A bit easy at first, but I'm guessing the difficulty ramps up on the later levels.
One of my favorite things about it though is how fast it is, there's no loading for battles, the menu comes up immediately, etc, I just love it when games have barely any loading time.

You guys are probably going to hate me for this, but I actually watched the first episode of the anime (with MST3K-esque commentary) and I thought it was the most unbearably stupid anime I'd ever seen. These two characters are brought together by their shared passion of... a storybook for five-year-olds. And that friendship is torn apart and made hopeless by... a roommate being kind of rude. I can't even make up more trivial, boring bullshit to angst over. I can't even care about the action because it's all imaginary. There's nothing at stake.
Sorry. I needed to get that off my chest.

More people like the OVA than the TV series since it was handled way better.
The TV anime is pretty awful, no need to feel sorry about saying that.
Also, there's a neat little cameo in Stage 5 that I didn't immediately get.
Near the end of it, there's a John Doe-type enemy that has two vertebrae-styled horns on it's head, has a green color scheme and I think has a slightly more stylized scythe. It's name? "Dead Master."
No one likes to remember the TV anime. Just pretend it doesn't exist.
If I'm remembering right, the tutorial enemy at the very beginning is one, too. No STR or BGS callouts though, despite the white and red enemies.
Edit: Just checked. It is indeed a level 99 Dead Master. There are more in extra missions, too.
Mmm, is it? I'm pretty sure the first tutorial enemy is just a regular John Doe enemy, nothing special about it. The
Dead Master
You shouldn't worry too much, I don't know anyone who likes the TV anime.
Even regarding the game, I don't think anyone in this thread is arguing that the story is not ridiculous. I've only played for an hour or two and it's pretty terrible so far. Not to mention that all the characters could as well be cardboard cutouts with some half-heartedly slapped on characterization trope.
But hey, the battle system is fun, which is more than what I can say about the previous Imageepoch game I tried.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who hated it. It feels almost, I don't know, mean-spirited to see one episode of a show and then come in here and take a massive dump all over it in the OT of a related video game.
Nothing wrong with playing a game for the mechanics. I love Tales of Graces f for its awesome battles and mechanics, even though its art style, story and characters are pretty much garbage.

I love it. I love it so much that not only I voted for it in the last NeoGAF best anime poll, I also bought the Limited Edition BRDs here in Italy!

I like it .
The TV anime is a surprising well done tale of despair, over the relationship and the friendship in society.
So much hurting , so much despair , so much suffering ...it was ... glorious.
That said the game is very fun
I just beat the first boss and completed the first optional mission. The battle system is still fun, and the story got more over-the-top ridiculous with the introduction of

Well, then you should not be allowed to use the name of a character from an anime that is actually good

Mentioning Lain reminds me that I'd kill for a game about Lain befitting the quality of the anime.

The Lain PSX game was certainly... different.
I can't think of a better way to make a game out of that series than a visual novel mystery.
I've put just over 20 hours into it so far. I hit max character level just recently (with no grinding, just naturally by doing missions), but there are still a few extra missions and challenges left for me to do. Probably another two hours?
The main story itself only took maybe 8 hours, but the extra missions are mostly better anyway.
The combat isn't astonishingly deep, but I haven't got bored of it yet. Your only buttons are attack, dodge, guard, and 4 skills, but you constantly get new skills, and are encouraged by the challenges to mix up the ways you defeat enemies. It's fun, and not too easy.

Oddly, I bought it. Hope it doesn't disappoint. Anything for replay value like NG+ or collectibles?

The end of Chapter 3 was a soul crusher.
I think I can safely say I really like this game.

The Third Birthday with random battles.
Well, by random I mean free roaming enemies hit you and a fight starts.

The Third Birthday was quite literally one of the worst games I ever had the misfortune of playing. That is troubling.
