SUP WEEBNERDS?
How was this game? I thought it looked pretty great, ARPG with a bunch of not-Pokemon demons or something and two lesbians. But I kinda forgot that it came out. No one talked about it.
>>336686546
I recommended it to some weebfriend who loves Neptunia and shit, and it seems he loved it. I would've loved it too, but fuck PS4.
Fuck off
>>336686887
hmm I was never big into Neptunia, but I still might have to check this out when it drops in price. Which probably won't be long.
>>336686546
Launched with a specific theme and timed free DLC, due to that Amazon was ordered to stop sales for a specific time
For over a week retailers were charging around $65 for the game, which was plentiful in Amazon's warehouse
The early adopters realized that the game is mediocre as fuck.
>>336686546
>No one talked about it
Because barely anyone wanted to take the plunge and spend full retail price on a game that was at best, a 7, if you're being EXTREMELY generous.
How does it hold up to ar nosurge?
I really liked the thing between delta and Cass, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Also felt surprisingly natural and not forced at all. Can't believe a JRPG had good writing or at least characters.fuck Ion though. Those interactions were cinrgy as fuck. At least it was fun(ny) I guess.
Because CDN$ 84.99.
>>336686546
Its pretty good from what I've played. soundtrack is phenomenal as expected of Gust.
>>336688836
It's 69,99.
still pretty lame they didn't localize the Vita version.
>>336689454
It is nowww.
$70 is still too high.
>>336689454
>It's 69
>>336688621
This guy gets it. I'm intending to pick it up in a few months when it gets down to $20. From what I've seen about this game, it's not worth more than that.
>>336689521
I hope they do because I'd double dip. But at least they're bringing ps4 and vita versions of Sophie so I'll be picking both versions up.
>>336686546
/v/ made it sound like it was better than your average RPG these days. How did it work out? Does it atleast live up to be Tales-average? I hope it's better since the series has now become the line of shit or fine/good.
>>336689638
You're assuring no more weeb games will be made. A game like that can't be made on 20 bucks, no matter whether it's a 7 or not. Then we have Uncharted, the mother of all 7s that will sell like 8 million copies and get 10s everywhere even though it's just a long interactive action movie.
>>336686940
Booooooooobbbbbbssss.
It was worthwhile if you picked it up with a discount
>>336689707
The combat, due to not being in unique arenas, feels more naturally a part of the world. I don't know why Tales has kept doing separate arenas when it's an ARPG. Unless it just switched over recently and that's why everyone complained about the camera in that new one.
Is it true that this game has NTR in it?
>>336690118
No one on /v/ knows since no one on /v/ bought it. They're all too poor to afford spending full price on a weeb new IP, so there will never be any weeb new IPs. Then vidya dies.
>>336690376
Hey I bought it day 1 but didn't get around to starting until a few days ago
>>336690464
This. It seems like a fine game but there's nothing particularly pulling about it.
I bought it day one to support Gust and yuri games.
>>336690464
Thank you for supporting weeb new IPs
I have disposable money and feel like playing a weebtastic game, should I get this? If so, why?
>>336688739
Fuck you for saying that about Ion. You didn't get anything at all, and you obviously didn't bother with Ciel nosurge's story at all.
>>336690637
The soundtrack in the altar of joden is really fucking good
Also KT aren't the worst localizers around, but they need to do better proofreading because I always see a lot of typos in their translations.
>>336690890
Lesbianism and Folklore/Curse of Darkness/Chaos Legion-like AI partner summoning.
>>336690890
Anime Tiddies.jpeg
>>336690970
Ar No Surge was a huge mess, they'd refer to one of the bosses as "Jill" then literally two lines later call her "Zill" instead.
>>336690890
It has lesbians, great music, fun if somewhat easy and spammy combat and a system akin to pokemon where you collect summons and level them up
>>336691093
Sold. Assuming it has Japanese VA?
>>336688739
I doubt its final boss can hold up to the epic nature of Ar's. Ar is just the best "bad" game ever made. It's like Evil Dead or something.
>>336691158
It only has Japanese VA
>>336691158
Yeah it's JP voices only actually
>>336691186
Now i wanna play dat fight again, it was a little too long on and easy on hard but was still breddy gud.
>>336691306
>>336691353
Sweet. No reason to get English for this type of game anyhow.
PC version when? Come on Gust, you can't ignore us forever.
>>336691367
Well Ar's difficulty was basically balanced so hard would be normal mode in most AA games. So the highest difficulty (very hard? or something else, I forget) might be more equivalent to a normal hard
- Gust
- Lesbians instead of a badass male protagonist
- Gust
- $59.99 instead of a $29.99 VITA game
>>336691531
Steam seems to be eating up weeb games currently so I'd want them to try it to potentially get a good additional revenue stream but I'd feel discouraged if they somehow didn't get as many sales as they hoped for on the platform.
>>336689995
Ah, that's good. Well, if you can say the actual gameplay is on tales-level. It should be pretty playable. What about the story?
>>336691683
Why can't you just like lesbians? Why can't a female character be badass?
>>336691725
I really don't want gust games to become steam shovelware. Traditionally console series going to steam is always a fucking disaster.
>>336686546
Nights of Azure... is mediocre. 90% of the game is too easy. The last 10% is when you finally hit the last boss and post game bosses. That is when it gets hard.... especially if you haven't maxed out your level yet like I did.
But for a lesbian yuri game, it hit off all the right notes. The girls are exactly everything a real lesbian would love.
At the very least, I'm happy that Gust is trying out new IPs and trying to make a action title.
>>336691531
KT has no idea how to port to PC.
The games they have put on Steam are shitpiles.
>>336691576
I had more of a hard time with the mobs of the room before the boss fight as with the boss itself. The visuals, music and everything else about that series of fights make up for it through. I still get chills thinking about that even though my last playthrough was months ago. I don't think they will top that any time soon.
>>336691949
Some of the greatest JRPGs of all time are "too easy."
>>336691949
So, is there NTR in this game? I heard that they aren't actually lesbian and one of the girl gets a "boyfriend".
>>336692056
Though the animations in that game is shit, should have stayed with hand drawn sprites instead.
>>336690376
NIS disgust me.
Of course their profits are falling. They made Disgaea 5, and then made it exclusive to a console which at the time had like 10 million sales and main marketing strategy is to dudebros who want multiplatform trash.
They didn't put it on PS3, where a major part of their audience is and they also didn't put it on PC where another 500k+ copies potentially could have been sold. Instead they put the oldest game in the series that I can play ANY VERSION I WANT with assorted emulators.
Japanese businessman need to be taken out and shot.
The sideboob game in this is insane
>>336692264
I hope Trillion sold well, I like the Disgaea old boys and I'm really glad they're free and trying out new games.
The game has flaws and no marketing budget, but it's a neat idea and it's got a lot of charm.
>>336692264
Nis has mostly switched to working on low budget vita games. I bought D5 but NIS is looking like they're on their way to complete irrelevancy
>>336691158
Aight, I put my money where my mouth was, now time to wait for it to download and install.
>>336692264
I think Sony paid them some to make Disgaea 5 exclusive to PS4 to try to get some Japanese adoption on PS4 and they figured they might as well because they'd never get free money like that again until next gen
>>336691949
Is there any difficulty setting?
It was a good time. But nothing is particularly inspired or new. I'd compare it to something, but I can only think of a food analogy, so I won't. Wait for a discount.
Hope your TV has a "No Overscan" option, though.
>>336690970
I made a screenshot of near every typo I saw in this game.
Lemme see if I can get them.
>>336692487
And you can see that clearly did not work out for them.
Hell, big budget Japanese games are still being released for the PS3 because nobody owns a PS4 in Japan.
I found Escha and nosurge boring as hell and didn't bother with Shallie, I just lost faith in Gust.
>>336692117
That guystraight-up lied to you. The two main characters are in love and the game is very clear on this.
It was pretty shitty, no really redeeming qualities unless you're a bottom feeder that likes yuri.
>>336692790
Sales on PS4 have picked up in Japan, enough that vgchartz can say PS4 versions of some games outsell the Vita versions. Just can't expect miracles--like the sales being proportional to US PS4 sales or Europe ones. But Disgaea 5 was too early, I agree, so far less Japanese had a PS4 at that time.

>>336692902
What games do you like anon?
>>336692824
You will buy Sophie's game, won't you?
>>336692848
>Game looks interesting
>Don't want to play it because Yuri is always melodramatic and shit and I don't particularly like fags in the first place.
Oh well.
>>336693180
She looks like she enjoys explosion magic the way she is drawn here.
>>336693180
>tfw I'm buying both ps4 and vita version
>>336693318
Haha ebin meme, fellow ledditor
>>336691949
>The girls are exactly everything a real lesbian would love.
Too bad we can never ask an actual lesbian because she'd feel offended by just seeing the cover
>>336692590
I'd say it's similar to Chaos Legion.
>>336693180
The mirror makes it look like she has one ass cheek
>>336693180
Isn't too complicated to jerk off and play at the same time? Besides, the internet has all the porn I'll need for the rest of my life
>>336693180
Probably not, Dusk is just a boring setting.
It's not dusk, it's just not-dusk
>>336692590
>Hope your TV has a "No Overscan" option, though.
What if I play PS4 games on a PC monitor? Am I boned?
>>336693221
But it isn't melodramatic in this game though. There is no "But we're both girls" taboo bullshit. It's just a knight and a priestess are in love with each other, and the knight's a woman too. That's it.
>>336692704
Got them. Get ready.
>>336693863
>You have complete your quest.
>>336693863
>>336693960
>>336693697
This honestly still looks melodramatic to me. I wouldn't like that even if they were straight.
I think an example of love I liked in a game was Abyss. The small moment at the end made it a good love story for me. I think I'm too emotionally stunted to understand love. Even playing Pandora's Tower, I cannot comprehend the main characters actions or why he would do that sort of thing.
Beyond parental feelings which I feel and understand going to crazy lengths for somebody because you "love" them is a foreign concept to me.
Sorry for blogging.
>>336693697
Do they make out?
>>336693960
>>336686940
It looks super interesting
>>336694060
>>336692356
>>336691859
Those enemies look really cute, even the spider
>>336694159
Good work grabbing all of these my man.
>>336694159
This one really gets me. How do you make THIS mistake?
>>336694060
>learned
disgusting.
>>336686546
The gameplay is repetitive arse, and it's clearly got an even lower budget than Atelier does. The vast, vast majority of scenes only use a few canned gestures with only a few actually being animated, the FPS is unreliable even on the PS4, the game is constantly sending you back and forth across areas you've already been, the environments all have a stupid fog over them that makes them look awful. The writing isn't particularly enjoyable either, the story glosses over too much about the world and setting to focus on the lesbian main characters' feelings to get particularly invested, and it all moves at a very fast pace with poor balance of serious and light hearted scenes.
Since it's Gust, it at least has a great soundtrack. But since it's Gust, it's also Acttil, and so the localisation is shit, like usual.
It's just not very good.
>>336694301
Dammit, wrong one.
>>336694040
>This honestly still looks melodramatic to me. I wouldn't like that even if they were straight.
>A character is never allowed to tell someone they love them or it's melodramatic
What.
>>336694273
You're welcome, there are a couple other I missed.
This one ain't a typo, but it's fun with no context.
I loved it. Was similar to Kingdom Hearts DDD in combat. I love some girl love too
>>336694301
Oh fuck yeah space popes
>>336694421
I had to read that twice to spot it since brain my did that thing where it automatically fixed the mistake.
>>336690970
>Also KT aren't the worst localizers around, but they need to do better proofreading because I always see a lot of typos in their translations.
It's Acttil. KT have outsourced every Gust game to them since the acquisition.
Once I get around to finishing E&L I'll have one of these for that too. I don't know if I'll even finish Azure but for all the fuckups in that I could hardly even fit them into a collage.
>>336694686
I like you.
>>336694418
All of this I expected due to Ar nosurge. Still getting it ;)
>>336694746
I will take typos over memes any day of the goddamn week.
I'm so glad NISA isn't in charge of Atelier anymore.
Esty Dee fuck you.
>>336694579
There's one in the ending, hard to miss.
>>336692264
>where another 500k+ copies potentially could have been sold.
Kek. PCucks are so goddamn delusional.
>>336694875
In a perfect world we'd get good localization
Yoru no nai Kuni is probably the most average game I've ever played. It doesn't do anything horribly wrong but it doesn't do much very well besides the art style. I'd recommend getting something else.
Even the producer realized the staff went too far. He had to clarify on an interview that the girls weren't filthy dykes in order to prevent an otaku backlash
>>336694875
If you think acttil don't use memes you're going to be disappointed.
NoA is also full of blatant mistranslations, though I haven't even touched it since release week so I can't remember what they were off the top of my head.
>>336695041
We don't live in a perfect world.
>>336695041
We can only dream.
Personally, NoA has set my standards to new lows, and I'll just grit my teeth so long as it isn't a complete NoA/NISA butchery.
The moment they first mentioned being half-demon meant Arnice's blood was purple, I wonderedif she had purple periods
I'm too far gone to save.
>>336695049
I'm not digging the art style. I'd prefer a fairy tale style instead of the uber-otaku style we got.
>>336695340
The game looks better in motion, but it's honestly just kind of a button masher.
>>336694418
Oh, and I should also mention that none of the demons are properly voiced, they just have generic short yelps that they repeat every time they say anything in combat or cutscenes.
>>336695281
>>336695637
Lame, why aren't they shy about it and confused about their feelings?
I want to buy it
its 100% uncensored right?
>>336695157
Why would that be a bad thing?
>>336696739
Yes. If it was censored there would've been a huge shitstorm
>>336695637
>yeah...
Well that's a fucking lame reply
>>336695637
>Yeah...
Fucking demons man
>>336696916
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdlRmWd_R7A
>>336693413
don't confuse sjw with real lesbians. Real lesbians seriously loves tits and hot chicks.
>>336696739
Yep
>>336696916
It's not quite the same thing that she said in Japanese, but the scene is not really a confession anyway. Arnice had already told Lilysse multiple times that she had real feelings for her. This scene is just her telling Arnice that the feelings are mutual.
>>336694919
500,000 copies.
The "discount" price for this game is in the mid-fourties. There's no way it would sell well on Steam.
>>336695771
>why aren't they shy about it and confused about their feelings?
Because that's way overdone and boring as fuck. That would be too generic like in 99.9% of every other animu.
I haven't finished it, but have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. It is a very well done game. Top tier soundtrack and has a lot of potential gameplay wise. I hope they try to make another one with more control over what your familiars do
>>336694535
If you haven't noticed I have autism.
>>336697357
It would you are just scared it might come to pc.
>>336697557
That was the point of his sarcastic post, my autistic friend.
>>336697357
Just gotta wait a year or two until they feel they can sell it for 20, then it'd sell
>>336690376
Why does it say PS4 on those Hyrule Warriors screenshots?
I'd like to buy it and play it, but I don't feel like buying a PS4.
>>336686546
>thought it would be standard jap arpg fare
>that room with the dragon dude and four constantly spawning jihadist bombs on the first level
I wasn't ready.
>>336698975
this game has weird difficulty spike.
thats pretty much the only time the game gets difficult, its all easy after that.
then you hit postgame and it jumps up again.
I'll buy it when it eventually goes on sale for cheap.
Like this sounds like a $20-30 game.
>>336686546
It was shit.
I am a weeb by all standards and I tought It was shit.
>>336686546
Bought it for the /u/ and haven't finished it yet, gamepelay is pretty boring
It looks like garbage to be honest. I play mostly japanese games but I've never gotten the appeal of stuff like this. Mediocre everything but then toss in a couple big titty lesbians and assume that makes up the difference. Nah get fucked.
>>336696791
Because otakus hate lesbians. It's western degeneracy
Otakus like pure maidens cuddling together because sex isn't possible without a cock
That's why actual yuri anime sell like shit and several yuri magazines have been cancelled
>>336700616
Gust typically have good gameplay despite poor visuals. Even Ar tonelico 3's combat was interesting enough to get me through the game.
Nights of Azure just plays like arse and doesn't have the strong characters or writing to carry it.
>>336695157
Give link to the interview.
>>336701053
I just watched some videos. I try to refrain from premature judgement, but it honestly looks like a strictly worse version of the tales of games. Maybe I'm missing something though.
>>336690118
No.
>>336700815
No. Teasing interests people more than a stable relationship. this is even true in the West. Going "Will they or won't they?" the whole time only to have them hook up at or near the end is much ore interesting than them being in a relationship from start to finish.
>>336701392
It plays nothing like Tales. They're not even remotely similar.
It's still not good, though.
>>336701641
I meant I watched videos of ar tonelico.
>>336701595
Fuck your shit. Ore Monogatari was the best romantic comedy in years because they got the confession out of the way early and focused on the relationship instead. It only got bad towards the end because they focused on a shitty new love rival plot.
It's just like Lovely Complex.
>>336695157
Stop lying.
>>336701780
Ar tonelico 3's main difference to Tales is in the Revyateil mechanics. The basic action controls are lacking but the Revyateil song magic needing to charged and released, and you needing to defend them while they charge it makes it interesting in its own right.
>>336701931
Alright fair enough, like I said I was probably missing something.
