What the hell is with this game? Didn't sell? Is it bad? Over inventory?
It's like the first game, but this time they overstocked it.
It's a game for weebs, what did you expect?
It's the same shit as the first, except this time they decided to have more copies.
>emunand
The latter. It's leaps and bounds above PxZ1 and has a faster flow. Though some would say it's a bit too easy since crit+back attack make it easy to OHKO damn near any boss in the game
First game was so shitty that nobody wanted to buy the 2nd game.
>>337070507
Came out a few days before FE Fates and wasn't marketed nearly as hard as that game was.
>>337070507
Where the fuck do you get it for $16?
>>337072114
No kidding. Cheapest I've seen it is at Walmart for $29.99.
>>337072114
>>337073070
It's a little under $18 on Amazon.
Namco kinda overestimated the demand for another project x zone after the first sold 400k copies.
http://nintendoeverything.com/first-project-x-zone-has-sold-over-400000-units/
3ds' first two years were pretty shitty in terms of library, due to publishers holding up development until 3ds sales improved, leaving whatever was left to take all the sales. PxZ1 was one of those. Releasing the sequel this late was even worse.
>>337074461
I just think that many people were turned off by the previous game.
>>337074542
>>337074461
I am one of them.
I expect a good SRPG featuring characters from games that I played.
What I get is a shit grindy fighting game disguised as a poor mobile tier SRPG
>>337075115
I remember when the game was confirmed for localization. So many people were saying that it was bad and giving evidence and all.
People just ignored them or told them to fuck off and there was no way it could be bad. People were just too hyped for a crossover of this level so they wanted to believe it was good no matter what. I can imagine a lot of people being upset when they found out it was shit just like people said.
>>337075476
There were two groups of people who bought PxZ at release, the ones who knew what they went for and those who saw some character they liked (mostly X and Zero) and didn't know shit about the game.
I understand the disappointment, but it's their own fault.
>>337075115
The first game was piss easy and seeing all the fucking weebs jerk over the sequel on /v/ was cringe as fuck.
>>337075975
The second game was legitimately a massive improvement over the first that did address quite a few issues that people had with the first. I could appreciate that, and it added some characters I really like, notably Kiryu and Majima.
That said, I didn't actually buy the game, since lmao piracy.
>>337076382
>legitimately a massive improvement
The only improvements I've wanted to see are the battles not dragging on for up to an hour each chapter and a lot of nothing happening throughout the story. Is that in the sequel?
>>337076742
Yes. Enemies aren't HP bloated (Fuck you can one shot them if you want even bosses with the right setup) and characters actually interact with other.
>>337076742
The average time a fight lasts was drastically lowered, thanks to limiting you to 3 attacks per unit, maybe 4 if you do the new mirage cancel thing, removing the speed-turn order shit and just giving you a player and enemy phase, making enemies less tanky, making everything less reliant on XP so you can actually use supers, making XP gain faster with no arbitrary limit at 100 without crosshits (Crosshits now give you shitloads of meter and can be broken by certain parts of attacks, giving more damage and more meter), and limiting the amount of units you have deployed, so you don't have to burn through every single character you have before you can get to the next turn.
Plus, there is more character customization and as the other guy said, the characters interact with each other more, and the game seems to be having more fun with itself, hence shit like Segata Sanshiro being around as well as all the SEGA characters somehow knowing him.
The only complaint I had with the game was how easy it was to one shot everything but I can forgive Monolith since they included Shinobi and Yuzo Koshiro.
>>337077106
>>337077368
Good. I might consider playing this game then.
Characters actually interacting with each other unlike the first game was what sold me.
>>337070507
Got 12 chapters in. Was pretty boring but I liked the character interactions. I rather have an ARPG altogether though. SRPGs aren't my thing.
overstocked, and a lot of people thought it was a jump stars clone because of some shit marketing.
>>337078176
>That scene
Okay I'm fucking sold if there's more like this.
>>337070507
it is shit, its amounts to nothing then a fireworks show and fan servcice
>>337078394
It had a lot of great scenes.

There's this scene which was pretty hilarious.
I'm surprised this hasn't become a meme that /v/'s forced into the ground yet.
>>337070507
We are missing several games in the series because JPN only. So the story is missing plot. Other than that, maybe people didn't like the mechanics.
>>337081283
What are the other games?
I know of NxC, the Endless Frontier games, and PxZ and PxZ2
>>337081089
>MFW Hiroshi Fujioka returned to lend his voice and likeness to play Segata again for PXZ2
Based Fujioka.
>>337079452
>>337079905
>>337081676
NxC is probably the only one. The first Endless Frontier game is in English. Exceed isn't but there was only one reference to it in the first PxZ done by Haken and Kaguya and they're not in PxZ 2 anyways.
PxZ 2 is also pretty stand alone and they recap the events of the first two games so it's fine to go into it without playing the previous games.
>>337078920
>taking the fanservice more seriously
What an oxymoron.
>>337081676
He means shit like the games that are represented in the crossover not coming over, but all I can really think of on that front are Valkyrie, Segata, Summon Night (Which is getting a game with Aty in it released soon, right?), NxC (They show up in Endless Frontier) ,and Sakura Wars (Gemini shows up from the one game they localized).
>>337082181
>Summon Night (Which is getting a game with Aty in it released soon, right?),
I'm guessing you mean SN6. Which already came out in Japan.
Aside of that and Sakura Wars most of the games featured in PxZ had a western release in someway.
>>337081974
That's hilarious. I've had that saved for a while now. I had no idea it was because of this game, I thought it was just making fun of Chrom's social ineptitude.
>>337082491
Nah. I'm talking about 5.
We actually got it on PSP and Vita in the states not to long ago, now that I look.
>>337082759
Ah. I see then I kinda misread your post.
Do I need to play the first game to enjoy the second?
I sort of want to get it just for the fact Phoenix and Maya are in it.
>>337070507
Is this that much of a surprise? The original also dropped in price pretty quickly, the only rare/expensive copies are the ones that still have the art book and soundtrack intact.
It has Yakuza characters. Of course it didn't sell well in West. They are cursed
>>337083125
No.
The second game is doesn't require previous knowledge beyond some characters occasionally making offhanded remarks about how this situation is similar to one they were in before.
>>337078394
>>337083229
Game got pulled from the eshop, so it'll probably peak later.
>>337081032
BASED Norio Wakamoto
>>337083125
If you're talking about the story, then no. Though the first one isn't a bad game per SE.I found it enjoyable enough, though it does have a few fatal flaws such as way too many reinforcements in later chapters and way too many of said reinforcements having way too much HP. There are 2 regular enemies in that game with 90,000+ HP.
>>337070507
Should I play the first before buying this game?
>Crossover between Sega, Namco, and Capcom
>It's not a fighting game or a racing game

I got this game for muh Fiora. How much of Xenoblade Chronicles is in the game?
>>337086370
They go back to the Bionis and Mechonis and everyone goes crazy over her world.
Also, Metal Face is a recurring boss and teams up with Telos.
There's also a VA joke with him and Bison since they share the same VA.
>>337086370
Metal Face is in it.
>>337072114

And it looks like the price is fluctuating by pennies every second.
>>337086480
>>337086529
All I needed to hear. Thanks.
I'm currently playing the first game. I liked Endless Frontier quite a bit, mostly just playing this for the fanservice and fighting mechanics.
At one point is it a good idea to drop it and move on to the sequel? I've no interest in finishing it. Is there a certain point where it stops introducing new characters and becomes overly grindy/slow/etc?
>>337088142
>Is there a certain point where it stops introducing new characters and becomes overly grindy/slow/etc?
They keep reintroducing or introducing characters until 3/4 of the game. Never made it to the final boss, but I never had the need to grind.

*At what point
another PXZ2 thread? sweet.
>>337081032
Holy shit, they actually got the rights to Hiroshi Fujioka's likeness for this game? Sega didn't have it for the longest time which is why there were barely any Segata Sanshiro cameos, and the few that existed barely showed his face or didn't identify him by name.
aaaaaaand that's it for the hot springs
>>337089303
they did a damn good job with this title.

Calm down, Vashy.
>>337089637
You can just drop that shit and just move on to 2.
You won't be missing much.
>>337089749
I'm like 30 maps in or something, abandoning it after all this will just make it all feel like a waste. It's an awful feeling. The actual character interactions are great, but each fight in-between is just incredibly long.
>>337089661
She is a pure nun, you sick fuck
>>337088559
For the first PxZ, just drop it whenever you feel tired of it. Personally I got all the units first before I dropped it.

she was definitely no Sheath, tho
>>337092712

>>337093223
eh. I wouldn't want her as the primary character in anything.
as endearing as her quasi-Wapanese was, it'd get old fast if she were the lead.

WAiT HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE
YAKUZA IS IN THIS?
>>337093583
you fucking know it
I got it for 0 dollars
The first game sold well only in the US simply because it was a big weeb crossover game, while doing shit in Japan because it was a shit game.
I guess since they actually made the game part much better this time and added even more weeb crossover they thought it would sell better, but it didn't and now they have too many copies.
>>337093583
Yes.
It's technically the dead souls versions, but hey, that just means they can also use guns.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMxLTvcpmr8
>>337075476
or maybe most gamers don't use the internet
>>337093747
>>337093752
kiryu and majima were easily two of the most satisfying characters in this game. animations, banter- everything was just top fucking notch.
Is this more like FFT/ogre tactics/disgaea, or more like fire emblem. Because fuck fire emblem games.
>>337093929
couldn't really tell you, because I only ever played Sacred Stonesfor about an hour, but even then I wouldn't say it's anything like that.
try the demo on the eshop and see for yourself.
>>337070507
What? Is still 40 on the eshop, but pxz 1 has disappeared, what happened to it?
This game made Lucina funny, I can't believe how adorable she can be with the "fangirl" role.
>>337079089
I wish Nathan from Uncharted was here...
>>337094294
Lucina ashit! Shit! SHIT!!
>>337094294
That face...is like she is embarrassed, but at the same time she loves it, what?
>>337093929
Closer to Disgaea from your examples, but not really close to that, either. Kinda.
Just go watch it on youtube.
There was some thread on /m/ in which, without going into all the details, described the fact that since PXZ is connected to the Super Robot Wars universe, and the SRW multiverse has Demonbane in it, and there was some spinoff Demonbane thing that revealed that some uber hax version of Demonbane (even by Demonbane status) deleted all the universes except for the one it was in or something like that and long story short that means it also deleted all of Marvel, DC, Capcom, Namco, Sega, basically everything, yeah.
>censored garbage like FE Fates sells hundreds of thousands while this sells tens of thousands
Fuck nintenbabbies
>>337095051
waifus help sell games
if you could romance girls in pxz it may have helped it sell more, but then it'd be just more waifushit
>>337095202
it would never work in PXZ. PXZ has a hard rule to never mention self inserts (like Alisa never mentions your MC in god eater), which is good.
I wish more companies curated their IPs enough to have big crossovers like this. Playstation All Stars was great with the character dialog and the combined stages. A shame they fucked it up with executive meddling.
Closest thing we have is Super Meat Boy and maybe Indivisible. Any other indie games with crossovers?
>>337096385
of the top of my head, speedrunners.
>>337070507
The first one was terrible and that drove a lot of people away from the sequel.
>>337096643
I still want PxZ3
>>337096643
Yeah, we have basically gone over that song and dance already.
