I want this on PC

Part four is the worst. Fuck Morioh.

Part 4 is the best, on par with part 2.

 

[saturnine]

Some of the name changes are beyond my comprehension. I can understand some things like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Polnareff or Pearl Jam but surely Echoes or Oasis would not create any problem?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I thought the micro-transaction stuff was going to be phased out for the domestic release?

Anyway, totally maining Buccellati...the true protagonist of Part 5.

Spoiler

But I still love Giorno

 

[Zekes!]

Didn't realize this was finally coming out over here.

Makes me want to get back in to JoJo. I never did finish reading Part 6 or 7

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Part 7's way too long...I have to be honest, I really didn't get what the fuck was going on in the later chapters (something about Jesus? A train, or something?) and I miss the humanoid Stands and how they got a bit too weird and unorthodox.

I would've loved to see CC2 make that dude who used the balloon animals or whatever playable, though.

Aw c'mon. Part 7 wasn't really that confusing in the later chapters. The only thing that really had me in a bind was

Spoiler

who shot johnny?

I like how long part 7 is. I feel like it gives a sense of scale for the race, plus it builds up the Gyohnny pretty damn well.

I wish Valentine would star in a rugged Jeep commercial where he goes about the wilderness; later emerging and proclaiming「Dirty Jeeps Left Unclean」before a narrator starts reciting something about true independence and ruggedness.

I find Part 7 to be really easy to understand, even if the spin gets kind of a crazy explanation haha.

GOLDEN RECTANGLE!

The "Jesus" stuff was explained A LOT too.

 

[leehom]

Amazon already shipped my copy. Getting the game tomorrow

The timer was reduced from 5 minutes to 2 minutes. I'm not sure if there were any other changes but that's the main one. It basically means it won't stop you from playing.

 

[Reknoc]

Amazon uk isn't even selling this themselves and all third party sellers have it at like £40+. Maybe I'll wait and see if bamco ever put it in a psn sale or something.

Filthy localisations, at an unreasonable price.

Might have been better if this month wasn't Mario May (Mayrio)

 

[DJwest]

Dat multiple pages MUDAMUDAMUDA

Goddamn, I need to see this. Can you PM me a link? Or can you pls tell me in which chapter this happens ?

 

[Morris]

Holy fuck I had no idea it was coming out tomorrow. Is it getting a digital release?

 

[SolarKnight]

Goddamn, I need to see this. Can you PM me a link? Or can you pls tell me in which chapter this happens ?

Vol 60 at the very end which would be like page 179 or 180 (or 90 if you're reading online where the scans are of two pages together)

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yo Scrafty you should never forget to put 「emphasized Japanese quotes」. It just doesn't feel Jojo without one.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Even more similarities with Persona 4!

I love you JG

 

[Morris]

Meh I feel like an asshole but I really don't like these localized name changes. Thinking of ordering the jp version right now.

What's the online like?, do you guys think I can play against people using the american version?

 

[SolarKnight]

JP versions can't connect to the western one at all

 

[Tizoc]

Holy fuck I had no idea it was coming out tomorrow. Is it getting a digital release?

Yes. It's $50 on US PSN, and it's also on EU PSN. EU PSN ver. should offer Yoshikage Kira & Shigechi for free as a pre-order bonus of sorts.

 

[Morris]

JP versions can't connect to the western one at all

That's no fun at all. Really can't stand the localized names. Polnareff's new name hurts the most.

Yes. It's $50 on US PSN, and it's also on EU PSN. EU PSN ver. should offer Yoshikage Kira & Shigechi for free as a pre-order bonus of sorts.

Guess I'm preordering then. Thanks!

 

[KiteGr]

9 Dlc characters?!

THATS A DEFINITE SKIP!
I'll wait for a complete edition!

 

[Tizoc]

9 Dlc characters?!

Never gonna happen, primarly as it's a Japanese game and far as I know Japan doesn't do 'GotY' like compellations like the west does (unless there are exceptions?)

At best you can wait for all that ish to go on sale and grab it then.

...but don't skip it brah, just get it for the poses.

PSN+ deep discount for me. Doubt it will go free.

Just read it, thanks. It was fucking ridiculous. And that WRYYYY thrown between the MUDAMUDA killed me.

 

[jgminto]

It's pretty lame that the dlc characters aren't included. I don't see any reason why they couldn't be.

 

[The Cartographer]

Nope

Not even as DLC character?

What the hell CC2?

 

[sprsk]

NOT HAPPY WITH ANY OF THOSE NAME CHANGES.

Agreed. Unless Namco is smart with the pricing &/or releases a bundle of all of them for a discounted price, I don't get why they didn't just include them. Still bummed out that the US only gets one DLC character or the other, not both like other countries.

Some of the name changes are beyond my comprehension. I can understand some things like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Polnareff or Pearl Jam but surely Echoes or Oasis would not create any problem?

I will never understand why Echoes had to be changed, yet Soft & Wet, a Prince song, was allowed to remain the same.

& after rewatching Part 2, I still can't believe Stroheim wasn't made playable.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

9? wtf

Well, guess I'll wait.

 

[Lyte Edge]

I have the Japanese version and never played it very much -didn't think it was that great- but have read that it got improved with patches. And now the American/Euro versions won't work online with it? :|

Don't want to shell out money for this again, but I can see the physical copy being hard to find later on, so...ordered.

 

[Lyte Edge]

9 Dlc characters?!

There won't be one. They loaded the game with DLC crap and it got a pretty big backlash in Japan as a result.

 

[Zonic]

9? wtf

Well, guess I'll wait.

Yeah, the DLC characters are:

Yoshikage Kira (free for Club Namco orders in US or pre-order bonus in other countries)
Shigekiyo Yangu (free for Amazon orders in US or pre-order bonus in other countries)
Iggy
Fugo Pannacotta
Old Joseph Joestar
Lisa Lisa
Vanilla Cool Ice
Narsico Anasui Narc Anastasia
Baoh

 

[Boss Doggie]

Funny thing is those characters are in the EU site already

 

[MoxManiac]

I know someone who isn't going to be happy to hear Iggy is a DLC character D:

 

[Zonic]

Funny thing is those characters are in the EU site already

That's what confuses me, if they're listed on the site already, it sounds as though they're included with the game. & there's no indication that they're DLC, so the only way you'd know is if you're familiar with the DLC situation in Japan.

Heck, the US Namco site says "41 characters", which is the total amount if you have all the DLC, yet makes no mention of the DLC.

 

[Boss Doggie]

「DLC」

 

[TheChaos0]

Yeah, the DLC characters are:

Yoshikage Kira (free for Club Namco orders in US or pre-order bonus in other countries)
Shigekiyo Yangu (free for Amazon orders in US or pre-order bonus in other countries)
Iggy
Fugo Pannacotta
Old Joseph Joestar
Lisa Lisa
Vanilla Cool Ice
Narsico Anasui Narc Anastasia
Baoh

Old Joseph and Lisa Lisa, how sneaky!

 

[TechnicDownfall512]

Something about being original just makes part one my overall favorite.


Before there were 'Stands', there was JEEOOONATUN JOSTARRRRGH.

 

[sixteen-bit]

probably gonna cop this even though it's kusoge

 

[SDBurton]

Still no Foo Fighters? SMH

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Still no Foo Fighters? SMH

They're just saving her for ASB2!

;_;

 

[The Grim Heaper]

It isn't.

 

[Reknoc]

probably gonna cop this even though it's kusoge

kusoge is a bit much, it's certainly no worse than other CC2 games.

take from that as you will

 

[jbug617]

I'll wait for a sale on the digital version. I already own the Asia version of the game.

 

[Rannta]

Part 4 is the best along with 7 (6 is the worst).

Anyway, preordered a week ago. Unfortunately, no dlc bonus because... tier 3 country.

 

[Mistouze]

That's my preemptive anniversary gift. Girlfriend couldn't keep this one hiddent, I suspect she wants to wreck me with Vanilla Ice >_>

Story mode is enjoyable but I'm going to spoil myself a bunch of stuff to unlock all the cast.

 

[Zonic]

Bleh, hearing people talk about how Namco's been giving deep discounts to games months after release (i.e. Tales of Symphonia Chronicles was released in Feb., will be $10 tomorrow on PSN) makes me wonder if I should wait & see if ASB will get discounted as well. Especially when I paid $12.50 for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 when it's normally $50. I want to support this at launch & get a DLC character, especially considering I figured this wouldn't come to the US, let alone get a physical version, but still...

This is Capcom we are talking about.

Capcom didn't make the game with Eiffel
