Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory |OT|: Tons and Tons of MOE!

I beat the boss I was stuck at, I think I broke the fight or I had some equipment that was helping. (End of Ch 9 spoilers)
Also I love Neptune's dialogue on the last chapter so far. I made it to
. Almost won but I couldn't beat the regen at the time (was just trying to see what I had to do next).
I was at the last of the 4 Black Hearts, and she basically kept wiping all my party out except for Neptune. She kept dealing zero damage, so a looooooooooong time later, I stored up 4 EXE drives and then took her out

Meh I give up.
Gonna start playing this tonight. Have come to the conclusion that the DLC characters are never coming over and at this point NISA don't deserve my money anyway.

Finished up the true ending last night at about 48 hours of playtime. I'll say my thoughts more a bit later but I enjoyed it. Also loved the credits sequence, they're always amusing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtwBjH2VOTU&feature=youtube_gdata

The credit sequence was pretty cool. I wish more games had credit sequences like that.
Here's to hoping that we get the next one.
Finally got all the platz for this series. Hopefully NISA will localize the Vita games.
*brofist* Respect man.
Enduring the first game to get platinum too? :O

I found it pretty fun actually as I also platinum'd Trinity Universe, lol.
I just started playing the first one and had this issue too. The way the characters' chests rise and fall with their breathing is kind of mesmerising though

I remember reading about how this happened for some Senran Kagura avatars and how Marvelous AQL apologized and took them down to fix them up or something like that after people complained.
It might be a good idea to check avatars on the internet before you buy them on PSN so you don't get swindled.

NISA is doing a popularity poll for the Neptune V CPUs. Which would be interesting except that it's already been overrun by proxy/fake voting.

I noticed. Vert is waaaay too damn high.

I chuckle every time I run into an Arrested Development reference in a Neptunia game.

Wow.
I completely forgot that there were DLC characters.
Are all of them up?

From what I see, yep. Broccoli, CC2, Falcom, Mages, Marvelous, and Tekken are all up! Along with their costumes.

Urg, must resist from purchasing Broccoli; my love for Puchiko must stop.

You were supposed to buy Marvelous as well, Kin. Tsk tsk.
But yes, time to finally play this is right. lol
I want to, but not enough in my psn wallet right now. Tekken-chan and Mages-chan take priority :x
Now that the dlc characters are up, i can finally dig into this game proper like. I beat Chapter 1 but that famitsu scoring they give you between chapters really took the wind out up my sails. I got really beat up over my side questing so I reloaded chapter one and have been floundering around with side quests ( -_-)

I think I have a $20 psn card lying around somewhere. Now to decide who to get.
Just got this game last week (after two months of waiting for Amazon to get more copies).
I'm surprised at how much fun I'm having. I previously bought the first game of the series but found it horrible (still don't understand that battle system), but then I read how they got better with the sequels so I ordered the latest game on impulse. So far I have no regrets.
My only disappointment is that Neptune no longer carries a handgun?? Does she get one later? I thought the whole DMC-esque sword plus handgun fighting style looked pretty badass in the original, now with sword only it seems not nearly as cool.

Okay, I picked up this game on a whim and have been playing it for a bit now (on Chapter 5). I have major, major gripes with it, but the characters are decent fun.
It's a shame to get a game with such a theme and nice visual novel sprites/CG involving a varied cast simultaneously offering typical rink-a-dink quests, poor framerate, criminal environments (in quality and quantity) and an unengaging combat system.
Leaves me torn. I wish a game made with "the obvious services" in mind would take the trouble to be, you know, a good game rather than "a serviceable visual novel with essential aspects as poorly executed afterthoughts." I'm still waiting for a game to fit that criteria. I'll finish the game, but I mostly experience the disappointment of lost potential while playing it.
Edit: As for DLC characters, I purchased Broccoli. It was love at first sight. I was this close to choosing CC2 at first, but I know I made the right choice. Her blunt yet hug-worthy personality is a godsend. My only complaint is that she sucks in battle and doesn't really have a role. Nonetheless, I'm using her (as well as my other top characters: Plutia, Blanc and Peashy) to the end.

I platinumed the game this morning. I didn't buy it for 2 years but finally got around to getting it and started playing 10 days ago. Very very fun and well made game for me.
Going from Neptune 1 without patch to Neptune 1 with patch was earth-shattering because it made an unplayable game into a playable one, was quite fun after the change but still loads of problems. No platinum trophy for me.
Neptune mk.2 was a vast improvement from 1 but still, took a bit of time to get warmed up to it...still a lot of unwanted things that made the game a bit of a chore to fully complete. No platinum trophy for me.
Neptune Victory now, got even better that mk.2, the dungeons were fluid at last, the combat was very fun and it was finally easy to get to whatever ending you want, plus you couldn't miss an event unless you really wanted to. Got the platinum.
Played all 3 in their Japanese form (didn't see a benefit to get the English version for Victory since I got the first two in Japanese), and I'm now really looking forward to playing Victory II on PS4 (well I'll get the game first if I still don't have the console at its release)

just grab the additional characters, and the weapons/armor if you want absolutely no challenge
