Apparently the two main villains are Atari lady, who is mad about being left behind. And a lady who is all about console piracy.

I kind of want to buy this off the insane premise alone.

Yeah, the main villain is named after the R4 cart for the DS. Piracy is seen as the most evil thing ever and there's a villain in the second game who is literally a giant pedophile and he's named after custom firmware.

Hyperdimension Neptunia in one week, are you ready? :getin: :animes: :hellyeah:

Apparently, there's going to be a 50% off launch discount for the first week, making it $15. I predict it'll hit the #1 spot on the Top Sellers chart at some point on launch day.

As for whether it's worth $15: kinda? It's not great and kinda grindy (although apparently it's the best in the series until Rebirth 2, at least), but if you really like yer anime and/or videogame "humour" you'll probably get fifteen bucks out of it. Then again, if you really like your anime and/or videogame "humour" then you're probably not posting on forums dot somethingawful dot com. With that said, you can do far worse.

Far better irony gift than Hunniepop, tho.

If they made the monsters better in Neptunia then I'm in at the summer sale price probably. Pissed me off that in the original you fight a DQ slime and a space invader and then after that the game is all generic fantasy monster models taken from one of their other games.

Well uh, in the newer games you fight fat Otakus as regular enemies.

In a stunning display of naivety, I sent a review build to a bleeding heart SJW who had no intention of giving an objective review. Probably twice.
I’ve stated before that there is no chance the mainstream games media is going to give HuniePop a fair shake. It’s going to be attacked relentlessly because it does not conform to the politically correct narrative and cultural standards set forth by these people. I’ve somewhat jokingly said in the past that the game is basically an SJW’s worst nightmare.
But maybe funny

In my experience with beating up fat otaku, they do when they want to stalk one of your friends.

Oh, say it ain't fuckin' so,
you stupid fuck!
The worst thing about HuniePop is that technically it's not a bad game, it's fairly polished, has somewhat enjoyable if a bit grindy gameplay loop, bunch of characters and competent match-3 minigame.

However, the terrible writing makes it extremely cringeworthy and drags the whole thing down. To its defense, that one video that was posted of the two girls yelling at each other is literally one of two such occurrences in the game that happen when you get introduced to the characters for the first time. I assume it was made specifically to raise people from their chairs. The red-haired girl has a very derisive personality but I guess that's her shtick, being annoying a flipping everyone off.

Other lovely tropes are 300 years old child-bodied fairy who loves porn and one year old teenage catgirl you find in a park.

Here's something I will never understand.

A Steam Review: "This game is complete and irredeemable poo poo. It's awful and no one on should play it. It's buggy and imbalanced and doesn't work gently caress this game I hope the people who made it die in a fire with their children blah blah blah blah...
632.14 hours on record."

I read these as "a patch made a change to my favorite class/weapon" or "I lost once too many times".

Some times games have a launcher that doesnt close when you quit the game that really inflates the play time stat. That new dayz knockoff game has a launcher that showed my friend playing even though the game itself couldnt even start yesterday.

Also people running servers can log hours in steam as time played.

Haha goddamn Tomb of Tyrants gets intense when your lair is a dozen floors deep and you have minions fighting on all of them and you're scrambling to clear enough rows to build another room before the heroes slip by all your minions through sheer numbers and murder your tyrant :stare:

e: I feel like there's a meta-joke in there somewhere about the good guys not winning because they're on the right side or better, but simply because they're a zerg-like tide that never ends and just keeps mounting until they literally overpower anything you can do. It's an interesting mirror of the usual trope.
