I'm sitting here looking at my releases list with nothing substantial go come until the Fall... Can we just fast forward to 2016? Even more so now that ZE3 is a summer release? Thanks.

I'm pretty much without any new games until end of August, when One Piece Musou 3 releases. But I've got around 12 different games from the recent steam summer sale and PSN japan sale, so I'm good. With the weather being amazing around here, I'm only playing games an hour a day at most anyway.

But I'm not looking forward to getting my purchase-list up and running for fall/winter and early 2016. Way too many games.


TotP: Get Tales Of Hearts R.
 
I have Lost Dimension, Xblaze Lost Memories, Amnesia: Memories, Steins;Gate and One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 coming out in the next two months, I'm in no hurry to fast-forward time myself.
 
Nothing for me really in the next two months (nothing I plan on getting at launch anyways).
Which I'm okay with, still have like half of the Golden Week sale games I bought left to play through.

Was thinking of getting a PS4 and re:Hollow Fragment this month but gonna end up waiting a bit til the new ps4 model is sold here

Can't forget Danganronpa.

I'm loving all these Vita releases. This year and the next are bringing us so many games.
 
I forgot to subscribe to the new thread, lol.


I'm playing Ar nosurge on my PS TV, it's a pretty decent port so far even if the framerate goes to shit at times.

I literally placed my VG+ order today (and I'm looking forward to the game regardless of port quality), but everything I've read about it seems to indicate that it's not a good port.

Poor framerate (which was already a bit dodgy on PS3) and text hasn't been resized at all to take account of the fact it's on a handheld. Seems like a classic rush job to me. Which is a shame .
 
have a little bit more disposable income at the moment so I went to town in that EU 'big in Japan' sale

Tales of Hearts
Oreshika
Akiba's Trip (never played one of those fan service type games so that should be uh, interesting.)
Prinny 1 and 2
Suikoden 1 and 2

loads more I would have bought if didn't already own them too
 
Welp.

I cant find out what games to get for July, doesn't seem to be anything interesting. I picked up the limited edition ar no surge and probably going to grab catblocks and PSmobile games and going to call it a month spent in gaming.
 
So I finished the first 10 levels of Nekoburo: Cats Block, so here's some impressions/info:
  • It's a somewhat standard tile matching game a la Puyo Puyo for better or worse.
  • You can store powerups to clear horiz/vert lines or clear a 3x3 grid around a cat.
  • Cats can also spawn with power ups.
  • Story levels all have set objectives like clear this many of this color of cat, get this many chains.
  • Levels switch up speed, color count and such to mix things up, good variety so far.
  • There's ranks for the level, best I have is SS. Seems based on score not time, I cleared one insanely quickly and got a B.
  • Music is pretty good and cute too, new track every 10 levels it seems.
  • Story is simple and cute as expected. Fully voice acted...in Japanese. You can skip it if you prefer.
  • You can play around with the cats with toys or drag them around at the home menu. Not a full on minigame but a cute distraction
  • There's a "survival mode" I haven't unlocked yet but is probably the standard Tetris style endless level.
  • There's some minorly awkward english but nothing that's prevented me from playing.
  • Insanely adorable.

Got a couple of Vita games in the mail today. Do you need to have played the BlazBlue games in order to understand the story in XBlaze: Code Embryo?
 
So just like Hikami said, we will be getting an interview from Colin Moriarty from Kinda Funny with Kazutaka Kodaka. This picture on his tweet is pretty awesome:

Gotta love the shirt.
 
Gaf, just how good is Persona 4 Golden?

I'm not really into JRPG's. But this game gets so much praise from just about everyone and everywhere that it's hard to pass up on the $15 sale, which ends tomorrow.

Should I get it?

Its core mechanics aren't anything that special (the combat system is standard turn-based mechanics) and the dungeons are weak but everything else is very, very strong.

Great cast of characters, enjoyable story that sucks you right in, colorful visuals matched with a killer soundtrack and despite standard combat mechanics the Persona collection/fusion systems offer a lot of depth for those looking for it.

Overall fantastic game and a perfect 'first' RPG for anyone interested in the genre :).

It's not so much a jrpg as it is a triple cross between a drpg (lite), a dating/high school sim, and an SMT game (press turn system, demon fusion). Story/characters are well loved.

It really depends on what other types of games you like, but in general, most seem to dig it.
 
Thanks everyone.

Buying it tonight. It'l have to be in my backlog for a bit but I can't pass up the good price and the massive praise it gets.

In what world is Persona not a JRPG? The three things you just said it was a mix of are what define RPGs...

  • DRPG is a subgenre of RPGs, and dungeons are massively common in JRPGs on the whole
  • Its similarity to dating sims is generally overblown, and it doesn't present its story like a VN in the least, being more similar to modern JRPGs
  • SMT is a JRPG series.

Some real 2+2 = 3 math going on there, man.

The grammatical structure "it's not so much X as it is Y" doesn't mean it's not X. In fact, it means that it IS x, but that it's better defined differently [negation not exclusion].

See above, never said it wasn't.

Second, the reason we use fine tuned acronyms like drpg is so we can do a good job describing a game to others. Jrpg is not a good description of p4g when other, better, more exact terms exist. We can debate what those terms might be, I don't really care, but calling it a jrpg without any qualifications is just as likely to mislead someone that knows nothing about it as it is to inform them. Same reason calling Wizardry a dungeon crawler or drpg is more helpful than just saying rpg or wrpg. If I knew nothing about Persona and you told me it was a jrpg, you would be misleading me in that same way, because I use the older, more traditional definition of jrpg as a genre definer, not a geographic limiter. [I have no interest in debating what jrpg means, it's an endless debate, I'm just stating which I use].
 
 
Played the Deception IV demo, I assume by the "IV" moniker that the series has been around for a while?

Found it quite fun.
