DR 2 is a game and you should play it, DR 3 only exists as an anime series that starts next week.

Do not play Ultra Despair Girls.

Oh I thought that that one was the third game. Will skip it.
Is it a spin off?

Edit: Nvm. the title even says another episode.

There is a DR 3 game coming too, but it doesn't have a release date or much info yet I think

It's a third DR game but has a new story and has no relation to any of the others in the series

It's a bad third-person shooter instead of a DR game.

If the re-translation of Neptunia Re;Birth 2 is any indication about "freelancers," it's going to be terrible and soulless for literally no reason.

At least they won't speak French.

I looked at them and the "freelancers" are the people who did Steins;Gate. That doesn't seem bad?

Gotta remove the memes.

Alternatively maybe they didnt have the rights to the original translation.

So with the PS3 games, the lead translator (Nick Doerr) worked with NISA and IFI to create the Westernized version of Neptunia and it continued through Producing Perfection on the Vita.

He was not on the staff for Rebirth 1 (which was a lot of people's first experience with the series) and the translation was so dull that IF Japan requested him back. Unlike Rebirth 1, the other two are essentially the same game and script with NISA/GUST replaced with Red and Broccoli. Since at this point they were Idea Factory International, they couldn't slap the NISA PS3 version in. It was slightly different (think reading a scanlation, then getting the official English manga) but retained all the localized jokes.

The Japanese purists got upset at Neptune and others using jokes from the western internet while clearly she's referencing that one 2chan meme everyone knows (or not actually saying something funny) and started a re-translation project of Rebirth 2 after it hit PC.

Oh, so the retranslation wasn't official it was just some of those literal translation weirdos doing what they do.

I also now understand what's up with Red and Broccoli since they didn't seem to have anything to do with anything

Only thing I think I know about Neptunia is that the games are so grindy, that they sell leveling DLC that people actually recommend you buy or something

Not, really they just let you get past the boring 'actually playing the game' bits quicker.
