CrashCat posted:Huh. That one passed me by entirely. It looks almost dead on like PMD, at the risk of a derail what did they change? Looks like it still has the "trail of idiots" problem, maybe even more so than PMD, though. Stupid companions that get caught on stuff really try my patience. It very much has the trail of idiots problem, it implemented the material system of the EO games really badly and lategame equipment is a horrible rng grindfest, and some of the new systems are just not good at all. It just tries to hamfist EO mechanics into a mystery dungeon and bungles it really badly and is just a really boring slog in general Junpei Hyde posted:So this one is an actual good roguelike for the Vita, yes? Shiren is pretty much the only MD series I actually really like

Don't get Etrian Mystery Dungeon. The EO thread can tell you the specifics (like arbitrary elemental weaknesses per class, except the ones where they were too lazy to give weaknesses to) but long story short it's a poorly-made badgame.

SweetBro posted:This is a terrible argument mate. Chrono Trigger is pretty much hands down better than any final fantasy game ever made with maybe the exceptions of 3/6. The whole loving point of my post was that implying that only one game of each type should exist is stupid. I agree with you on both points, but I also think we should be free to have many games who attempt the same genre in different ways. Policenaut posted:Guys, stop shouting at each other! We're getting Shiren the Wanderer 5 Plus overseas! Hahaha, oh my god. My wife went to the trouble of buying me two games for Christmas for Vita that I'd officially given up on ever getting localised. She wanted to get a special treat for my nerd arse. Those games were God Eater 2: Rage Burst and Shiren 5 Plus. I'm sorry dear

Hivac posted:They never tell you about this either, folks only found it once they started picking the game apart That part was actually me misreading the data. It only applies to the NPCs you find in dungeons. The rest of the game though? Oh yeah, that's a stinker.

In Training posted:Wish I had a wife who would import Japanese only vita games for me Yeah I recommend it. Also I forgot to say: both God Eater 2 and Shiren 5+ are really good, please buy them both. They're both getting retail releases too, which is pretty awesome.

None of them are available in the US and from what I hear they aren't as good as the main games.

I can always respect somepne who sacrificed money for a game to come over seas like that. Something like a third of my Japanese Vita imports eventually got localized.

thorsilver posted:You're seriously the only person I've seen react to this game like this. It looks like Yakuza meets Kenka Bancho which is awesome as gently caress. i don't know very much about any of these games but i do know that there are good and bad times to use slo-mo in games and that gif definitely looks like one of the bad times

I'm not even sure where you guys are seeing slo-mo there. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JGrU_W_eWtA This is all in gameplay speed. The gif has the bit where she's running up a wall and transitions into kicks off of it, as well as the spin around the pole. None of that looks slowed down. The only notable observations are: The framerate is kind of crap (might be the video though). The hit pause frames (used in *many* games involving close physical combat) are extremely long. Usually they're just literally 1-2 frames during which the game freezes time to indicate a successful hit, but in this case it's like almost a second, and the camera keeps moving during the pauses and only the people stop. I think they're trying to make it look like an actual anime. Edit: The whole thing feels like it has the timing sensibilities of Godhand.

It makes it look pretty drat sluggish and in turn loses my interest. Imagine playing an entire game where it feels like you are hitting things in slow motion. It cannot be satisfying.

You guys know what I was talking about. Look at the trailer carefully, it's not there as a mechanic to make you feel awesome for pulling a kickass combo. It's just there.

True, but I would still rather play it than a lot of beat em ups that hit the vita, because that handheld is devoid of anything resembling fun ones. It at least has some style to it.

Stupid question, maybe, but can you no longer get Zettai Hero from the PSN? Or is it under another name? Maybe I`m blind. I just gave my psp to my brother and wanted to buy it again like a good customer for old games. Edit: VVV Wow, I`m very smart. Thank you that worked haha!

Now, if you want something where your strikes are all super fast, play some Onechanbara!

LOVE LOVE SKELETON posted:look we've all had fun mocking D_T but let's cool it. he is enthusiastic and doesn't talk about having disdain for muscly women. he's a strong, helpful presence here. The issue here is that he was probably the first person other than maybe Policenaut to even start talking about Uppers, rather positively, only to now constantly express how much of a disappointment it already is. He went from "Oh man, Takaki made a bancho beat-em-up! Yeah!" to "Oh, Takaki made a sluggish, uninspired lack of effort," seemingly if only because Daidouji (maybe!) isn't going to be included in the character roster. The same thing happened with Vita Senran Kagura games. The series that he pretty much solely championed (until Ran_Kizama showed up) is now dead to him, replaced by Valkyrie Drive, for reasons no one can seem to decipher. His enthusiasm goes in every direction, nonsensically so, and it just makes the discussion so disjointed. He's like if Taint Reaper was an otaku in fast-forward.

D_T is legitimately a dude who likes what he likes, I just don't understand his logic at all. He's no Taint Reaper.
