I really love auto scrolling.

eshop pls

 

[Soriku]

I second this request I am in the exact same position.

They're mainly standalone outside of Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 and Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment. Some have minor references to each other, but you can normally jump right in to any of them. Starting with either DSO or SH is perfectly fine. Just choose the more interesting game to you.

[Busaiku]

what is the character limit? (my copy will probably be here tomorrow)

Zero Cool
Acid Burn
Crash Override
Phantom Phreak

Your real name is 8 characters long each for 1st and last.
Your handle is also 8 characters.

My handle was Case. After Neuromancer. Lame I know.

Also, I barely have Play Coins because I don't take my 3DS anywhere. Shit. Now what? Shake it like a maniac?

Depends on which games you are playing. Persona references to past entries are shaping up to be anything but minor.

 

[Busaiku]

I'm so glad I restarted.
Looks like I missed out on a special dialogue earlier.

If you look at the big picture, maybe. But you can play Persona 4 then Persona 3 for example and have no issues.

Ha that's awesome. I'm actually re-listening to the audiobook at work right now to get myself even more stoked for the game tonight (as if that's even possible).

 

[Busaiku]

It's kind of disappointing that Captain Paradigm isn't always voiced.

 

[Letep]

No, best.

Getting a copy but won't play until after I finish Strange Journey, Devil Survivor Overclocked, and both PS2 Devil Summoner games.

So like a year from now

 

[buddha0991]

It is done. Purchased and downloading, it's been a long, long time coming.

It's #SoulHackers day! Protip: to see a demon's skills during fusion at the Goumaden, press right *on the Circle Pad*. (https://twitter.com/nichronomicon/status/324194495476420609)

 

[buddha0991]

listen to this man :,(

Check, its up for me

 

[ULTROS!]

This game feels like a heavily improved Persona 1.

 

[stuminus3]

It's up for me (Canadian eStore), it's the first thing right there on the front page too. Bought and downloading. Can't wait.

 

[Young Magus]

Check, its up for me

Just seen it on the eshop. Yay!!!!

 

[Vamphuntr]

Got my copy in the mail. Going to start this later today.

Here is a message from NichM via Twitter:

Well, that will be useful. Why is he banned anyway? You didn't like the font used in the game ?

Fuck yeah! This year for me I need to finally get into the Devil Survivor games, it's the only SMT related series I haven't played yet.

 

[Busaiku]

I really like talking away these enemies.

 

[GeekyDad]

She arrived. Tapping a vein now.

I have serious doubts I'm ever gonna open this OST. Only minor criticism about the packaging is I wish it came in a slide-out box like Cave Story 3D. But still a sweet little package all the same.

But now to actually play the thing. Very excited.

 

[MechaX]

Could someone explain how the smt games relate to each other? I've never played any of them, and I'm trying to decide if I should pick Soul Hackers as my starting point, or Devil Survivor Overclocked. Any other suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated.

For the most part, they're stand alone. Persona 2 Innocent Sin to Persona 2 Eternal Punishment is probably the only two games where playing each other might be heavily encouraged.

For what it's worth, the Devil Summoner games (including the Raidou games and Soul Hackers), and the Persona games take place in the same universe. Devil Survivor is a separate universe (same for Devil Survivor 2). So you can jump in with Soul Hackers just fine.

 

[Deified Data]

God I hope you have a

coyote as your save point

for the rest of the game.

INTRANET...!!!

 

[Seda]

Fuck yeah! This year for me I need to finally get into the Devil Survivor games, it's the only SMT related series I haven't played yet.

I'm going all out on SMT, in the last 9 months or so I've beaten P3, P4, P4G, DDS1/2, SMTIII, currently working on Strange Journey (I'm in H-Sector, so near the end I believe), then the ones I listed + whenever Survivor 2 3DS comes out.

And maybe Persona 1 and 2's later

 

[ForteanMan]

Just received a notification from UPS that it has delivered the game to my house! Now to decide if I stay at work like a responsible adult, or feign an illness so I can go home and play it.

Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2!

btw finally done downloading, lets do this.

 

[Marche90]

Still can't decide if I want this digital or physical.

Oh, well, I guess I'll swing around my local game shop to see if they have the game already. If I see the package in person it may sway me to buy it that way.

 

[RM8]

CD Universe says my order is shipping today. It'll be a couple of days before I can play, can't wait It's going to be my first SMT-related experience.

 

[cjkeats]

I suppose I better go pick this baby up. Gonna try to balance studying for my exam tomorrow and this nice and evenly.

Spoiler

lol, I won't, guess it's a good thing I'm not worried about tomorrow exam. SH all night, GO!

 

[Soriku]

Launch trailer.

Lol they used Lucifer's battle theme from Raidou 2 (it's in the first game too I think).

It's the boss battle theme in the first game.

My copy is on a UPS truck, somewhere in town, to be delivered to my office today. So what's the story on a printed instruction manual? Has Atlus included one or have they "gone green"

Spoiler

(aka increasing profit margin by cutting out printing expense)

?

 

[Slermy]

Received my copy. Still in the middle of Fire Emblem and Etrian Odyssey. Is it worthwhile to crack this open and get far enough to enable StreetPassing? I have a pretty consistent StreetPass area.

 

[buddha0991]

So I saw a store called Robot Haus.

there's a fold out piece of paper, as is the trend nowadays

 

[jorgeton]

Got my copy. Will be knee deep in dungeon crawlers (this + EO4) for the foreseeable future. Really looking forward to diving into this one though. Love the whole retro futuristic vibe. Reminds me of Snatcher.

 

[Clov]

Arg, my copy went from "Shipping Soon" to "Not Yet Shipped". Hurry up Amazon!

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I like how positive the Destructoid review is. (He actually praises the dialog.) My copy is out for delivery, so I should be diving in on this soon.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Well... I guess that's better than nothing.

 

[GeekyDad]

Well, I kinda dig the 3D effect so far. I mean, it's incidental, but it adds a pleasant layering effect to the visuals during dialogue. And the voice acting is impressive so far. They may not have remade the game, but they definitely put some effort into enhancing the game. Cutscenes are dated, sure, but the rest looks just fine. Sound levels are surprisingly high, which I'm happy about. Usually, games on my 3DS are a tad difficult to hear. Got some new Sony earbuds I'll be testing out on this later.

 

[Deified Data]

Was expecting something weirder when I walked into the bath house forum.

 

[Bassmastergeneral]

I got my shipping confirmation last night at 9pm and purolator got my parcel to me by 11, unbelievably fast. Looking forward to giving it a shot, I was always interested in this one. I'm curious about difficulty, does this have a selectable difficulty? Also, for those who have played, where does it rank in terms of difficulty compared to other smt games?

Damn dude.

 

[lolez2matt]

I´m confused. Why do I have to name my handle. And where is seen my handle? What does it do?

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Just do what I do for Devil Survivor with the nickname: Same as the first name.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Presentation is a bit lackluster in this. It uses the bare bone Saturn/PSX version FMV that are not even fullscreen because of their resolution and in battle it seems they ran out of characters for demons names so they have their names scrolling. Ugly fonts all around too.

 

[cjkeats]

Got my copy, listened to the soundtrack driving from EB to campus. It's very good. Excited to start!
