Turnip Sensei Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Besides the hunting games I also got P4G (right after the purchase of the console), Akiba's Trip, Demon Gaze Global Edition, Ys: Memories of Celceta (haven't started yet) and Deception IV: Blood Ties. O_o. You already have all the good games ;D Thanks for the feedback, i'm more of a JRPG/Strategy game player... For strategy there are Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre and Disgaia games. I've only played Tactics Ogre and Disgaia 4, so I can't say much the others. Disgaia is pretty wacky and it has bucket loads of content. Tactics Ogre on the other hand is more serious medieval fantasy with branching story. It has some weird systems such as there is no individual level for characters, but rather classes level up. It's still pretty fun. For JRPGs you should check Atelier games. (Meruru, Totori, Rorona and Ayesha) They are partly alchemy (item crafting), partly light JRPG battling and mostly cutesy stuff. The alchemy part is surprisingly fun and the combat is not bad, though I hardly bother with it, the other parts were way more enjoyable to me. They are kind of coming of age stories with girl alchemists as protagonist. It's pretty lighthearted, but it's super cute and makes you feel warm and happy inside. I have heard that Tales of Hearts R is pretty good, but I haven't played that yet myself, so I can't confirm that. Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is also worth checking out. In Oreshika you have to manage a cursed clan, which members can only live for 2 years. You have to breed your clan members with various gods to get new characters and explore dungeons for a cure for the curse. I'm not really sure what to think of the game yet. It's fun to watch your family tree grow and see what kind of children will you get next. The combat and dungeon crawling is pretty good, but the game has some pacing issues. If you can't complete some story required dungeons in time you have to wait for an year for it show up again. And by that point your previous clan members are probably dead, so you better hope that your new members are as up to the challenge. Still it's not bad game, so might be worth trying. Quote
Fred the Barber Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I've been eyeing the Atelier games for a while - are those something I can just pick up at the latest, or should I play them in some order? The wikipedia page for the series is somewhat bewildering - I guess there are a bunch of separate sub-series, and maybe I should play a sub-series in order? To phrase the question another way: where should I start with Atelier? Edit: nevermind, I found the "Atelier" sub-thread which has good guidance for exactly this question Quote
sub-zer0 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Just started Ryse:son of rome....Amazing so far, good voice acting, cool setting, and amazing graphics Quote
Deep Blue Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I'm playing hotline miami 2...so far the story looks better than the first one. Quote
Stray Cat Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Regarding Senran Kagura... what's the gameplay like? Fully VN or what (i remember seeing up Bon Apetit and music/rhythm threw me away)? The story is presented in a VN like format but the game-play is fully beat-em-up. Bon Appetit is just a spin-off. The first game is on the Nintendo Eshop for 3DS if you have that system and is probably the best starting point but you can probably still play Shinovi Versus and catch up. The next game is solely for 3DS too. As for Danganronpa, it's a mix of VN and logic/trial sections with some other minor gameplay thrown in. Quote

Also, eyeing Muramasa right now. I need more girls in my life. Quote
Stray Cat Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Is there a physical copy of Bon Appetit somewhere? Also, eyeing Muramasa right now. I need more girls in my life. Not here, digital only in U.S. The Wii version of Muramasa was average, not bad but not good either. Quote
Kosakyun Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Really? Everyone I've talked to liked the game. Huh. Anyway, next game would probably be Hyperdevotion Noire. Tfw it costs around $45. Quote

sub-zer0 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 just finished Ryse:son of Rome...was a short gamesince it only took me a little more than a day to beat, but it was an amazing story and a great experience,totally worth it. Going back to wasteland 2, the game has gotten a lot more fun ever since I found better guns for everybody on my team, more firepower is always good Quote
Funyarinpa Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Got addicted to Hotline Miami 1 again.... Hydrogen is so good Quote

Stray Cat Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 So I played some Rhythm Heaven, either I am terrible at this or it is much harder than other rhythm games like Elite Beat Agents where I did just fine. Quote
ExtraMana Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I beat Persona 3 FES the other day (Holy shit was that a long game!) and I'm just about done Persona 4 arena. After that I'll probably play through the Ultimax story.I have Persona 4 Golden on Vita but I'm still at the <5 hour mark that game is intimidatingly long. I started playing Atelier Shallie: Alchemist of the Dusk Sea. It's showing promise. Quote
BookwormOtaku Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Been getting back into playing Star Wars: The Old Republic as I'm curious about the expansions and I have to say the galactic market addition really helps when you need to get better equipment for your level. I've currently beaten Chapter 2 of the Sith Warrior story, playing mostly light side (I've only picked dark side options if they make sense for my character), my character's romancing Vette and since I've gotten her affection pretty high I've switched to using Jaesa as my companion.

Stray Cat Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Now I'm playing some Mario Golf: World Tour. Not sure how I feel about that either. Quote
Fred the Barber Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I played so much SWTOR, up until about 1.5 years ago. The class stories are pretty good, and although I never thought I would enjoy PvP in an MMO, once I got peer pressured enough to try it a few times, I started really enjoying that side of the game. I think I played 5/8 full class stories (all four republic, one empire), and did a bunch of end-game raiding (and that's where the problem is...). At the time it was usually fun, but... man, lots of my life sunk in that game. As long as you don't try to do "end-game" stuff, it's a great game. Good thing I got out of that; instead, I started spending my spare time watching anime. I started playing Atelier Ayesha yesterday, and I am having an absolute blast. I feel like this game was designed specifically for me. The only lingering doubt I have is that I might go too far messing around with all the sub-quest and crafting stuff and miss the deadlines on the main quest. Quote
Kenshin_sama Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 That's how it was for me with WoW. PvP probably would have been a lot better, but getting into serious raiding is practically making a commitment. Now I did have fun during the time I was in it, and I actually did really well at it too (it's the only game I've ever been awesome at), but it was consuming me. o.o Like I literally had to plan everything around my raid times and put in a lot of effort during off-time to make myself better. They say it's impossible to completely quit WoW, but it's been a good couple years since my last login and roughly four years since I've been actively involved in a raiding guild. Nice thing about anime and single-player games, you don't have to worry about schedules. ^^ Quote
Mugi Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Currently playing through South Park; TSOT, and the first Darksider's game. South Park is such a fantastic game, I know this has been said by so many people already, but it's like playing through an episode of the show itself. I also have Wind Waker HD and Earthbound on the side, though with my current schedule VN's take up most of my time :L Quote
Deep Blue Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I wanna play mechwarrior 3 again.. i really don't know where the hell to get it but i want to play it Quote
LinovaA Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Back to CK2... as I always do. Achievement hunting in that game is pain. Absolute pain. Quote
SanadaShadow Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 What's Hotline Miami like? So I played some Rhythm Heaven, either I am terrible at this or it is much harder than other rhythm games like Elite Beat Agents where I did just fine. Quote
Vokoca Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Catching up on more titles from the Japanese PS+, so now it's time for Toukiden and Deception IV, both on the Vita. And I'm still playing Yakuza Ishin... someone, help. D: Quote
orochinagi Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 O_o. You already have all the good games ;D Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is also worth checking out.

That's what saddens me regarding the current Vita game list. Expected more "good" titles out there (this last gen has been so cruel on JRPG and such). Regarding the Atelier games, i've been playing those on PS3 thro time. Oreshika sounds interesting from what you describe. Gotta look into that thanks (and store images look good) P.S: finally got the last trophy on Demon Gaze... deciding on what to start playing next (pending towards Tales of Xillia on PS3 now) Quote
Funyarinpa Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 What's Hotline Miami like? Massacre with anything you can find on hand, listening to different incarnations of Sandstorm It's so goodd Quote
