13 copies of the Cthulhu Saves the World/Breath of Death bundle on Steam.

(More serious, get one if you don't have it already, then get something else with the remaining $37)

i actually already ignored all of you and bought tears to tiara II because i own pretty much every modern jrpg (i have all the atelier games, for those who recommended them) and it's one of a handful that i was interested in, but not for full price. the others are drakengard III, natural doctrine and ar no surge, please tell me if you see them on sale

i was going to get noire because i like sting but apparently even people who like neptunia don't like noire so i passed

Tears To Tiara II is fuckin' solid, wordy as hell but it's a VN so that's what you get. It's got decently creative maps later on too.

the novel the original megami tensei game was based on

loki rapes about five women in it

like the novel basically goes 'plot beat, loki rape, plot beat, loki rape, plot beat, loki rape, plot beat, loki rape, plot beat, loki rape, ending'

Endorph

which is weird because of the entire norse pantheon loki is the least rapey

I don't know if it's based on the books or a tie-in to the game that was released the same year but the Digital Devil anime is 80s as gently caress which means rapey bits and grotesque violence. One girl gets bit in the vagina and dies it's hilarious.

The original Megami Tensei novels the games are based on were, to but it bluntly, rape-tastic.

FTFY. The dude who wrote the novels was clearly on some sort of psychotropic drug, and they just get weirder the further they go. They had a villain (I think in the third book) whose weapon was his acne, when he popped his zits demon spiders flew out and killed people.

According to the comments, Rocky was a mistranslation for Loki. That uh...would've cleared things up a bit.

That's loving awesome, it'd be sweet to get game adaptations of that crazy BS. Without the piles of rapes.

Nah, there's a lot of batshit crazy stuff but it's all bad batshit crazy stuff. Nothing makes sense, the writing is atrocious, it's basically really bad Go Nagai horror manga fanfic. (Which the games kind of are too)

The original Megami Tensei game basically was a game adaption of the first three novels--actually it was supposed to be a sequel, never mind that the hero and heroine both die at the end of the third book--but there's so little in it that's actually game-worthy that what we got was probably the closest we could get. And it was a really bad game too.

I remember being a kid and looking at games at Blockbuster, except my store had the anime movies next to the games so instead of Hey You Pikachu I got a prepubescent load of box covers where anime girls had their tits wrapped in thorny vines and orifices getting googley eyed by monsters and demons. What a weird time that was.

You should have bought Yakuza 3 and 4 (3 on disk, 4 on disk or PSN). Yakuza games are pretty much ARPGs mixed in with major manly drama, shirtless fights and punching tigers. You can't lose.

My local rental place kept all the anime at the very front, right across from the register. I attribute seeing La Blue Girl to all my childhood problems.

Yeah, I had a store that did that too. La Blue Girl and Legend of the Overfiend were literally right next to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman. Weird as poo poo.

Suncoast, before it died, did that as well. It was right next to the cashier spot so you really couldn't miss it. Which was weird, because the anime section like DBZ and Inu Yasha was on the complete opposite wall, like 30 feet away.

edit: Now I'm getting PTSD of the days of 3 episodes/30 dollar dvds

They put it in it a spot over near the genre section in my video store and didn't carry anything like La Blue Girl. Mostly stuff like Akira and Venus Wars. I had a sheltered life as a kid I guess.

Suncoast had shelf marker tags that read "HENTAI Ask the Cashier at the Register" or something like that.
