I don't think Trillion is my thing. The story's good and the characters are nice but I don't like the fighting at all. I get that it's a multi-playthrough game and you're supposed to suck at first but even knowing the patterns I just feel helpless. At least with Kenka Bancho I could chug gatorade and beat people I wasn't supposed to but here it's just 'whoops you couldn't tell which of these constant markings were the one that one shot you' without constantly checking the log.

I like the concept, it just needs some polish and some more...action? Or less action, either way.

Sounds like Permadeath Monster Hunter to me.
More like Permadeath Mystery Dungeon except there's only one randomized stage you go to every now and then and you otherwise have to wear down a boss with multiple forms for the rest of the game. With the game mostly handling like VN/Long Live the Queen otherwise I can see why it'd be unappealing to most. You gotta like menus.
I see positive reception to the story everywhere though, which is honestly the last thing I expected. I figured the reaction would be more like the usual "Ugh".

the removal of the "story" videos and replacing them with nothing but concert/dance videos

I'm pretty mixed on this - I mean, yeah, it kinda sucks, but at the same time the work they've done into the dance routines is pretty extensive and it's obviously not just a bunch of canned moves strung together. The drop thing is just weird. The inclusion of Calc and Ai Dee makes everything forgiven.

I'm perfectly fine with menu-driven gameplay and honestly if I could just AI battle trillion or have it fought off screen I'd be okay with it if it was presented nicely or something. The actual fighting is just plain bad and getting to trillion's second form wasn't a 'cool, I did it! I'm getting somewhere!' feeling like you'd want from the player, I was relieved to be able to leave and do something else.

Like I would spend 10 bucks on a power-up to make fighting trivial or to give me a spirit bomb or some poo poo since I'm in this odd situation where I want to do the VN/story part but don't want anything to do with the actual gameplay. That's not a ringing endorsement.

The Long Live the Queen comparison seems pretty apt. I like that kind of game and I was liking this one until I guess my save got corrupted so now I have to start over. I never had this happen before, but when I exited the game and tried to go back in, it just gave me a bunch of error codes that google told me was a corrupted save. I deleted it and started over but now the problem is I can never exit the game because I'm pretty sure it will happen again. I have the physical version of the game so it can't be a corrupted download. Anyway, I do like the game, just wish my copy wasn't broken.

A friend also had a similar impression and I see where you're coming from. It's pretty clunky. But personally I kinda enjoyed darting around the arena and figuring out what to do. Maybe it's just me.
Sorry it turned out to be a bad experience though.

Nice boat.
It seems that despite what most of my assumptions were, there is to be a sequel to Bullet Girls coming out.

Having not played the original yet, only watching some videos of it, I can not really give a review. I can however show some pictures, and a link to some gameplay.





Link to Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWx-iaYKDBU

Official Site : http://www.d3p.co.jp/bulletgirls2/


Release Date is scheduled for 21 April of 2016.
PSVita and PSTV are the only release platforms mentioned.
Retail will be 6800円+tax and digital will be 6480円, tax included.

I actually liked Trillion but it isn't worth full price. It looks and feels like a $15 indie title and if it was released as that it probably would get a more solid reception because it's basically one idea ("one really good boss fight because we have no budget") that they built an entire game around. Once it is down to $15/$20 I'd recommend giving it a shot if you have a tolerance for Disgaea humor.

I don't really see it. There are four differences i can identify: Her breasts are smaller. She uses something approximating an actual fighting stance, i.e. shoulders forward and together, small profile to the opponent, chin tucked, etc. Her neck is shorter? She's smaller? (Though the last one may be since she's fighting dudes, while she's normally around girls.)

The small profile, the weird proportions, the gloves and red belt, her hair is pretty unremarkable despite being one of her most characteristic features.

Is also baffling that in a game were everything is unrealistic ripped, she's just toned, instead of ripped.

Here's 2 game codes for the NA PSN store:

Sly Cooper Thieves in Time: 7T3D-E2NQ-GT2R
Lego Movie Game: CPNR-J6NM-NCT4

The codes expire today, so redeem them ASAP (if you'll actually play the game, don't just hoard it if someone else wants it). The game doesn't expire once you redeem the code, so you're all good as long as you claim it. If you want to shoot me a couple bux I'd appreciate it, but that's not needed - I just want to make sure that someone who actually wants to play the game gets to rather than just letting the codes expire
