But how long until that comes out? Next year?

XSEED still hasn't announced it yet, much less given us a date, but we know it's coming for sure, the trophies are already localized on PSN.

 

[Shizuka]

I own a physical copy. :>

I think the trophies might just actually be in english, or are they Japanese on a Japanese account? Was still pretty surprised to see that. They're properly translated too, unlike the Engrish on the Overview page for the game.

It tries to use your account's language whenever available.

My F 2nd trophies magically turned to English around two months prior to the NA/Europe release.

Just know what you're getting into with Yggdra--tons of missables. Like every goddamn map. Impossible to find everything without a guide. Either play with a guide or just know that you'll miss stuff and make peace with it. Fun game, though the second(?) Gulcasa fight was pretty rough. I still need to beat it the game, I quit again after finally surmounting that fight. It does some cool stuff though.

Also ToS 2 is crap IMO, but it's barely any cheaper to get just ToS so go for it I guess. It's a bare-minimum remaster but a great game.



SV is still a very good way to get acquainted with the characters (and neither SK Burst or SK2 work for half the cast), though I guess you could read up on everyone beforehand.



Victory is where the battle system started getting good. For $7 why not IMO. Story of the prior games isn't all that relevant. Rebirth 3 should have assorted improvements, mostly more characters I think, but you could start with Victory and be totally fine.



Unless you're willing to import yeah it's going to be a while, after SK2 at the earliest I'd say. Add a few months at the least.
It's pretty import friendly, but you miss almost all of the story and a lot of the humor.

So what youre saying is get Shinovi. Got it.

I'll try and run the game with my JP account and see what it does. I just figured they did make them in english since it's common in Japan and they would have to localize eventually anyway.

So what youre saying is get Shinovi. Got it.

Pretty much...if nothing else it will be very hard to go back and play it after Estival but Shinovi is quite fun on it's own. Plays great on PS TV too (I think you might need a USB/bluetooth mic to actually get the plat on PS TV though?).

Just don't look at any of the glorious 1080p/60fps footage of EV PS4 on YouTube, or you'll regret not having waited for it.

 

[Hikami]

So.. Atelier Escha & Logy. Should I get it on sale right now or wait for the plus version on the Vita? (What does the Vita version even add?)

 

[SerTapTap]

Nah, if anything I'm glad I played Shinovi first. It's not like they're the exact same game. I envy people who were able to play Zelda 1 before Link To The Past because..damn son.

 

[yaffi]

I guess I'm going to limit myself to games that are less than $10.

Or are there any games I need to buy regardless?

Ive actually already seen footage from JPN streamers way back before it was banned. It looked awesome, its what got my interested in versus actually.

Now that we know how glorious Estival Versus PS4 is, I wouldn't bother getting Shinovi Versus. Unless you REALLY want to experience the full story.

Catherine is a great game, the story and the gameplay are both top-notch. For $5, it's a steal.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

If Demon Gaze really is $12, you're all getting Demon Gaze tonight.

I really want it. Probably going to go for that and Sorcery Saga once I get paid in a couple days. Gotta make some room on the ol' Vita memory card, heh.

 

[Haiiro Husky]

I got Gurumin! Used to have it for the PSP but never finished it. Now I can rectify that on my VITA.

 

[Li Kao]

Hmm, I still have the original games somewhere, do you guys think Metal Gear HD Collection is worth it ? I heard there are some technical imperfections in the port so...

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Bought the Freedom Wars Kouken theme!
Just disappointed that NaNaNa isn't part of it.

Was surprised there are so many themes on the store, just ones I don't want...

 

[RK128]

Just got back home from college and man at that Golden Week sale ! Tons of fantastic games at really good prices :'). Glad I held off getting Broken Age to get a few of the games .

I plan on putting 20 bucks into PSN (already have 4.12 in my PSN account), so I am wondering what games I should pick up :l. This game is one I am getting for sure:
-Demon Gaze

Heard great things about this one and it sounds like a good introduction into the DRPG genre .

The thing is, I'm not sure about these games:
-Hatsune Miku Project Diva 2
-DJMAX Portable 2
-Toukiden: Age of Demons
-Any of the PSP Star Wars games
-Neptuina Victory

All of these look like lots of fun ....but I can only put 20 bucks into PSN, leaving only 24.12$ for games . That is a lot, as I can get to great games ....I just don't know what other game to get alongside Demons Gaze :l.

Any advice would be great and I hope you all get a lot for this Golden Sale !

 

[Nudull]

Would any of you recommend Senran Kagura? There's been so much controversy and back-and-forth about it, but the curiosity is strong. ;_;

Catherine is a great game, the story and the gameplay are both top-notch. For $5, it's a steal.

Definitely agree. Owned it physically, and it's one of my favorite puzzle games ever.

 

[Shizuka]

Just pulled the trigger on a physical Orgarhythm copy. I'm close to getting my collection complete.

While I would never pick it up (I would honestly feel a bit ashamed to play it :'(; the games.....assets really make feel odd playing it, the same reason I would never play the Dead or Alive series), the core game looks to be a really fun beat-em-up . Lots of characters to play as, what looks to be a great combat system, and some great visuals that pop out of the screen (the game is so colorful and the levels look to be really detailed ).

If you can get past/enjoy the games.....themes, then you will have a good time with it .

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Hope we get some good sales in Europe tomorrow!

 

[RK128]

Who's feeling lucky?

You can enter for both, but can only win one
edit; forgot to mention it's for the US

That is so cool of you man ! Entered for both if that is okay. Thank you for doing this giveaway Hikami .

 

[Producer]

So.. Atelier Escha & Logy. Should I get it on sale right now or wait for the plus version on the Vita? (What does the Vita version even add?)

It adds costumes, the DLC from PS3 already included, some new events and monsters i think?

The base game is already good and for $15 its a great price imo. Though up to you whether you want to wait for the vita version to be localized.

Hm, I can live without those extras. Will be sure to pick up the PS3 version then while it's on sale.

 

[bobbytkc]

anyone here played class of heroes 2? would you recommend it if I am already getting Demon Gaze?

 

[Shizuka]

Two DRPGs at the same time is a rough path. I don't think we're getting Class of Heroes 2 for that price again anytime soon, but I don't think it'd be a wise choice to play those games back to back.

I understand both sides of the argument, and I feel I should at the least try one of them to see where I ultimately stand.

If I do get Class of Heroes, should I play it a bit while I'm waiting for Demon Gaze and see if I like it as a DRPG?

 

[Man God]

Hmm, to go over my spending limit for SV or risk that it goes lower for a likely pre SK2 sale.

Class of Heroes 2 > Demon Gaze >>>>> Class of Heroes 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mind Zero.

 

[SerTapTap]

I got Gurumin! Used to have it for the PSP but never finished it. Now I can rectify that on my VITA.

Gurumin is great! Super cute, fun combat, lots to do. I almost double-dipped for digital but remembered I have it on PC now anyway. IT's a steal for $2.50. Parin is the cutest

Ive actually already seen footage from JPN streamers way back before it was banned. It looked awesome, its what got my interested in versus actually.

It's unbanned now as long as you're actually playing the game not using the dressing room I guess. I Was planning to stream sometime this week actualy

I was waiting to get the Steam version, but $2.50 is ungodly tempting...

 

[Shizuka]

I don't see any harm, just try not to get burned on the genre by playing one after another.

 

[teflontactics]

It's apparently a "great musou game" according to everyone I know that plays those, however I came into it not really liking musou games and not being called in (or entertained) by the t'n'a alone - and found it was a very fun game (even in multiplayer) that offered a ton of content and some laughs.

I liked the game so much (and play it so often) that I've even bought all the DLC so I can mix it up each time. Highly recommended.

Mr review here if you need more of a nudge; http://thevitalounge.net/2014/10/30/senran-kagura-shinovi-versus/

 

[lazyproblems]

I would just stick with Demon Gaze, unless you want to build up a backlog of DRPGs.

 

[wilflare]

ZoE HD - why are the two games (bought separately) cheaper than the collection

 

[Ondore]

Because 1 never got fixed so you probably shouldn't buy it anyway?

 

[Nudull]

It still hurts.

 

[Shizuka]

It still hurts.

Never forget.

 

[Renpatsu]

So uh, Metal Slug 3 for AU - did I miss it? Last time I checked I saw it out on PS4, but now that I go and check I get nothing.

Edit: Scratch that. Evidently I did miss it or they only just put it up.

 

[wilflare]

for completion sake

 

[Diebuster]

It still hurts.

2nd Runner on Vita would have been dope as fuck.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Do any of the Battlefront PSP games transfer to Vita via the PS3 transfer method?

 

[incpdo]

Why demon gaze is now16 dollars ? Showed 12 before. I don't get it

 

[Shizuka]

Why demon gaze is now16 dollars ? Showed 12 before. I don't get it

It's $12 for PS+, $16 for non-PS+.

 

[incpdo]

It's $12 for PS+, $16 for non-PS+.

Well that explains all , should I buy this game? I have 30 bucks. And even when I have a ps3 and I'm new with it( its been a few months since the purchase) I still prefer to buy vita titles first.

 

[Man God]

I actually bought enough stuff where I still saved a boatload buying a month worth of PS+. I feel dirty but not as bad as I would have spending that extra cash. Too bad this month's plus games are rubbish. Also now my list is clogged the hell up from the previous times I had it.

 

[autoduelist]

If I do get Class of Heroes, should I play it a bit while I'm waiting for Demon Gaze and see if I like it as a DRPG?

I'd say DG is a bit more accessible overall, at least from character creation and early game? But I don't see a reason to not have them both.

I rarely burn out on the genre though. I'm more likely to burn out during character creation than I am once I get rolling, and DG has fairly straightforward character generation.

That said, I'd never suggest playing one 'for a bit' till something else comes in... for me, at least, it's all or nothing... go in to win, because if you set it aside the odds of coming back are slim. But i'm like that with all games.
