V2 is pretty much the best nep game.

60 fps really makes it stand out to all the others

Do you need to fight random battles in this game, or can you go from story fight to story fight?
>>343718168
What is this game about? Is it any good?
>>343720416
Nope, people play these games for two reasons.
>cute anime girls.
>ebin meme/vidya references (which are only okay if a jap game does them.)
Avoid at all costs.
>>343720416
Nepnep is all about videogame companies/consoles as girls and gratuitous memes
>>343720416
Non Meme answer:
It's a JRPG series that parodies console wars and the game industry. Primarily the Japanese industry. The games up till now have been rather mediocre, but found a large audience with the cute girls and video game references. The characters are the main selling point, who are likeable enough in my opinion.
Neptunia V-II, the most recent game in the main series is actually rather good though. Not the best JRPG ever, but a lot of fun.
>>343720146
Only the very first game had random battles
Every enemy you can see on the field
If they notice you they will charge at you
No you cant because you need those enemys to level up
>>343720416
V2 is about the period where people are looking for new godesses
In our sence its the time when the next console generation comes out
And they are fighting what was trying to replace them
Ignore the shitposter who think only the girls are the selling point
Neps are so good thanks to Tsunako
>>343721629
Ok, thanks. How many boss battles are there, and about how many random battles would you face throughout the game?
>>343723346
Theres a shitload of bosses and they will steamroll you if you are underleveled
V2 is the first one where you dont regain your health or sp from leveling up so its harder than others
Cant really count how many
Theres a collissium mode to fight just bosses with S bosses needing to be well over level 100

>>343725143

Just send a whole bunch of scouts while you are out collecting treasure and you will eventually find all the dungeons. That's what I did anyways.

All nep games are garbage, since they're you're typical JRPG grindfests with piss-easy content that can be made evene asier via overlevelling. Their only selling point are the dumb moesluts and the shitty "story" with gameplay being absolute dogshit.
The only exception to this rule is the Hyperdevotion: Goddess Black Heart game, since it's not a JRPG, but a SRPG with actually good gameplay that completely lacks any sort of grinding incentive (there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to grind, but you can still do it). In fact, it's so non-grindy, that you can accidentally overlevel somewhat just by completing all of the side quests, if you use only one team of characters throughout the whole game.
>>343730784
>Hyperdevotion Noire

>>343730461

Here's your problem. "Fans of the series" are pathetic weeaboo manchildren who play nepshit games for their dumb meme-spouting moesluts and the retarded "story." People who are unfamiliar with the series and don't give two shits about moeshit can judge the games based on their gameplay mechanics and consider Hyperdevotion objectively good gameplay wise.

How can you say neptunia is piss-easy if you need to grind to beat it?
And what makes the gameplay in Noire's game good? If it's so easy like you say it is, can't you win without figuring out good tactics, meaning it's a bad srpg?

WHERES THE NEPS
LET ME PLAY ALREADY
>>343732015
This guy >>343731617 nailed it except for the artstyle in my opinion, the characters are weak and nep games thrive on having good character interactions with characters you give a damn about, Noire fails to do that because the cast is bloated with "literally who" that are dead after that one game, compare it to neps from other games(Dangekiko, Famitsu, the 4 -sha's from V2), that's a lot less characters to introduce in one game but they get enough attention to become somewhat memorable
Lily system break the damn game too

Compared to other SRPGs? A healthy focus on environmental hazards during combat, which makes most story missions feel unique. There are almost no straightforward "advance forward and kill shit" stages in the main story.
A healthy variation in mission objectives. Again, there aren't that many "kill them all" missions in the main story.
A bigger emphasis on character links and teamwork than most SRPGs out there. Also, even though character links are very powerful (actually, potentially overpowered if you know how to milk the system for all it's worth), the system requires you to cluster your units together, which sometimes, depending on the opposition, may be a disadvantage to a certain degree due to your susceptibility to powerful AoE attacks, so it kinda has drawbacks as well, which is a good attempt at balance.
Every character has a unique skillset and there's a good variety of characters, which isn't something we see often in SRPGs.
Healthy level of difficulty on Hard, especially if you try to ignore the environmental hazards and rush in.

>>343732097
>>343731617
Oh, I'm an idiot for missing that post.
What do you mean by "no strategy"? Is there less depth to the combat than in other neptunia games, despite the fact that it's a SRPG? Does this mean that other neptunia games actually focus on strategy over grinding, then?
>>343732392
I see. Would you say that the major/recurring characters are decently developed but the minor characters detract from the game? Maybe it's because I haven't played any nep games and have played lots of srpgs, but I don't see the problem with having some filler characters.
>>343733472
>complaints about the game
These aren't complaints with any sort of substance. These are subjective opinions and most of them are character/artstyle related, which makes them even more worthless.
>>343733583
>depth to the combat than in other neptunia games
>>343733583
You may move around on squares and take turns moving characters like in Fire Emblem, but there's no strategy or planning involved. Just attack however you feel like and you win. It's basically just a really, really slowed down mainline game. It had potential by trying to emulate games like Disgaea or Fire Emblem, but did not exploit the potential in any valuable way. It's much like a Bethesda game, where it has features, but they're not implemented well at all and it just feels pointless.
>>343733653
When an SRPG has no strategy, then its gameplay is shit, no matter what. That's the only complaint I needed to make on the gameplay.

>inb4 moving goalposts
Not really, I'm just curious since you clearly despise the entire series yet praise Sting's game despite that other people pointed out why it's bad, the interesting part is that you ONLY talk about gameplay aspects, nothing rearding the story or characters, which honestly only convinces me that you are defending this as a Sting fan, again, as many people pointed out, there's not going to be any strategy because of how laughably easy the game is, you aren't in any danger for lumping characters together because you'll kill everything before you even get damaged, the other things you talk about ARE there, but they are handled poorly and inbalanced
tl;dr Stop being a sting fanboy and look at something other than gameplay and you might see why fans of the series hate it
>>343734420
Not an argument.
>>343718168
I'm having fun with it.
I just wish the game would stop constantly chucking characters in and out of the party like a revolving door.
>>343734465
>tl;dr Stop being a sting fanboy and look at something other than gameplay and you might see why fans of the series hate it
Not him but I am finding the gameplay to be the worst aspect of Noire's game. It's so basic and barebones, not to mention the horrible movement system that is combined with maps that have traps EVERYWHERE (looking at you, Lid's boss map)
Or the fact if you fall too far from a height you take damage and END YOUR TURN
>>343733295
That sounds interesting, thanks for explaining. From the gameplay videos I've seen it looks kind of like Summon Night, but maybe that's just a superficial resemblance. Does it have a lot of similarities with Sting's older games?
What's the best way to get the most out of the game? I prefer my SRPGs to be somewhat challenging and you said earlier that you might accidentally overlevel if you do side quests, so I'm not sure if I should skip the side quests to keep it challenging. What do you recommend?
And what about the DLC, does it add overpowered stuff that breaks the main story's balance?
rip n1
>>343734704
I wouldn't call itthe worst aspect, but it definetly has fuckton of issues, writing is what a lot of people hate, Sting got too much freedom with a series they weren't familiar with, writing is all over the damn place
>>343734704
Lid map is easy as shit
Just change direction BEFORE moving
>>343731054
The control interface for making moves feels choppy and antiquated compared to other modern SRPGs though, makes it much less enjoyable to play than it could be.
>>343734704
>>343734465
Just to be clear, you guys are playing on hard and aren't doing any grinding and are still finding it easy? It seems strange that the resident SRPG expert in the thread is the only one that finds it challenging.
>>343734952
>Just change direction BEFORE moving
that doesn't always work
>>343734879

Because I like the game and don't care if it's part of a shitty series, I judge it on its own merits. Hyperdevotion is the only game in the series I've finished, I couldn't stomach others after only just a few hours of shit gameplay.
>>343734704

ITT: nepshit "fanbase." That's literally the best part of the game.
>>343734750
>What's the best way to get the most out of the game?
Just play all of the main story missions and the sidequests ONCE, unless you REALLY want to craft some sort of General/CPU weapon that you don't have materials for and if you do grind for materials, use different characters and don't overlevel your main team.
Regarding DLC, I've started already with all of it so I can't really compare to vanilla. From my experience, the main game breaking culprit is the lily support system, but only if you milk it for all it's worth and spam AoE special moves.
>>343735297
>That's literally the best part of the game.
Irrelevant, subjective bullshit
>>343734969
This is my biggest complaint with the game and completely ruined the replayability for me. It's so goddamn slow, especially if you're used to playing things like Disgaea or even FE or whatever.
It'd be nice to see them make a sequel that fixes those issues though.
>>343735030
I am personally playing it on normal. I play every game on a first run on normal.
>>343735297
>ITT: nepshit "fanbase." That's literally the best part of the game.
I'm more of a fan than you are. I am not afraid to admit that a game in a series I like is flawed/bad. Like another series that has a bad entry named OE

the base gameplay of OE (which was basically a polished up Neo minus the level difference penalty) was solid. But fuck EVERYTHING ELSE IN OE.

>>343735904
>And then these same people are saying that the game has no tactical depth and is not challenging.
I honestly believe cranking it up to hard will not change a damn thing. You still have all the issues that have not been addressed in this thread that are independent of difficulty.
>>343736147
>I honestly believe cranking it up to hard will not change a damn thing.
Yes it will. At the very least, it will convert the lily support system from a surely game breaking feature into a borderline necessary and somewhat overpowered feature and this very feature is the main difficulty related complaint about the game.
>>343735904
Not that guy but I was playing it on Hard and all the strategy I ever used was stack Lily Boost to oneshot everything before it oneshotted me.
I'll admit that the levels where youonly have Vert, Neptune and Blanc and you have to defeat all your allies plus some tough enemieswere pretty fun. My characters went from severly underleveled to complete powerhouses in those.
>>343736517
>At the very least, it will convert the lily support system from a surely game breaking feature into a borderline necessary
any proof that you need to abuse the lily system to survive on hard?
>>343735415
>>343735904
Hard difficulty doesnt change anything, theres a lot of ways to cheese the shit out of bosses
>>343736943
how often do ailments even work on enemies in Japanese games?
>>343737038
They work really well on pretty much anything in this game.
>>343736671
Define "abuse". If you score 80 LPs and execute a special move each round, it's not exactly abuse, it's using the system for all it's worth. If you play like this, then you will finish the game without much difficulty even on Hard, but it can be argued that using the lily system to its maximum potential takes skill (character positioning in ways that you can actually execute your skills to gain LPs), so it's not like you're "cheesing" without applying any sort of skill.
Still, I wish the lily system wasn't so powerful, it would make this game near perfect gameplay wise.

Status conditions usually work in Nep games - its just that your characters often barely possess any debuff or status moves in the first place.

Farming Lily ranks in that game is borderline retarded even compared to other Nep games. I did first set manually and then wrote an Autohotkey script that spammed a skill hundred times and refilled mana when necessary. Only 3 characters don't have a spammable skill. Overall, this bullshit took 80-100 hours.
I don't even know why I bother, but I like 100%-ing Nep games including the stuff that's not included in the achievements like farming all costume and CPU sets

I got it on PS4 because all I got is a toaster, and even if its friggin Neptunia I doubt it can handle a PS4 game and I'm not counting on them to optimize it.
Especially since the PS4 itself gets framedrops when enough particles are on screen.
If and compile embracing and catering to its audience helped make it successful
And no censorship ever

Is this new Nep game going to be more hardware demanding than Noire's game?
All I have is a shitty toaster with a Q9300 2.5GHz and a GeForce 9600GT. I can still run Noire's game on max resolution at 60fps, though.
Post top neps
Vert had the best solo chapter btw
I liked the split

The heck was with the difficulty jump for Vert's?
By comparison in Blanc's story, you basically obliterate everything effortlessly without ever needing to level off unnecessary fights, and then Vert has a huge dungeon with 3 bosses that force you to level up to even have a chance.
