an unpopular opinion: soul sacrifice is extraordinarily dull and one of the worst MH games ive played. freedom wars and toukiden are both far far better

I thought the presentation was cool but yeah I never found Soul Sacrifice very fun to play

I play all these Vita MH clones then I eventually just go back to MH4 instead because it's still the best

I don't think SS is a bad game, I do prefer both those other games to it though

I also don't consider it a MH style game at all.

I did feel like the combat in SSD was really, really repetitive. None of the offerings felt much different from each other, unlike the weapons in Toukiden and Freedom Wars.

There's one thing the game doesn't straight-up come out about, which is that you're supposed to combine offerings into powerful spells. For example the most simple one is elemental blanket + bomb plant. They combine into a turret spitting balls of the appropiate element. Some even require one of the player to die, but enable them to provide powerful healing for the others.

Well, there's a world of difference between saying "it bored me" and "it's the worst". It would be helpful if you clarified what actually made you dislike it. Maybe it just wasn't cute enough for you?

If you're good at it, you'll never really experience that mechanic, and there's a special costume for each character that removes costume destruction altogether.

Yeah, it looks like you can just avoid entirely by not taking too much damage.

The numbering for the Neptunia games is confusing. I know that Re;Birth 1-3 are remakes of Neptunia, Neptunia Mk.2 and Neptunia Victory, but why is the next game in the series Neptunia VII? :confused:

It's Victory 2, or V Roman Numeral 2.

It needs a hyphen, then, because right now it's Neptunia 7. :v:

PC versions are higher resolution and run at 60FPS. Otherwise there's nothing really new or different, aside from the Good Old Games version of Neptunia Rebirth 1 having some Dengeki Playstation costumes that weren't even in the Vita/Steam release. I guess you also miss out on being able to use trainers to fix drops and avoid hours of grinding.


Lemon Curdistan posted:

After a few battles as each character you earn a "hard" version of the costumes and then they never break. Also the swimsuit DLC never breaks.

E: I also think the Blanc VS Zombies (enhanced sequel with a disconnected story) does away with the mechanic altogether and the torn up costumes were DLC.

Rare materials plus the power and abilities of what you craft are random.

Floor 5 before the boss has a nice circle you can run around, and if you put the Megalith on Emma you can just sbreak every single fight.


Also the count in your notes counts like, battles you lost and ran from so you'll actually need to get that number over 1000 because the trophy is only wins.

It's hilarious because it's the only trophy that is under 3% completion and which has the exact same completion as the platinum one, i.e. most people can attain every danged trophy except that one.

The 1 major downside of SSD is a lack of a town hub and all.

That's about it, it does everything else better - from a popular opinion perspective.

If you feel brave and can get the parts, here's a guide on how to replace those: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/PlayStation+Vita+Action+Button+Replacement/8026?revisionid=HEAD

I mean it was fine until I ate an orange while playing my Vita. I then go the buttons sticky. The "X" button then began to stick to the side. I eventually cleaned it with a toothbrush and it has gotten better but now it still feels a bit off compared to the other buttons and makes a clicky sound if I press it three or four times.
