Don't mind if I do :3

Now how to spend this cash that's mysteriously fallen into my lap ...

[Eclipsed]

I spent 200$ already this month on games and VNs and misc. accessories, halp

Take the money and buy more Nepper games and make a giveaway for them

Now I just feel like an errand boy.

‘Take this money’ – YES!

‘… and use it to buy all these things’ – but Muuuuuuum!

Question for the Top Nep experts: is VII just being ironic? or are we missing the games after rebirth3?

The third game was known as Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, so the VII is there as Victory 2, not as the number 7.

Well, that solves another mystery.

 

Now to torture myself over what I should and should not spend my money on~

Buy the entire Neptunia series

When they're on sale, of course. Should be able to get all of them within a 6 month period. Sales are frequent.

[Jibril]

Are you kidding me. What's with the timing... I've already spent more than $100 on Steam sales urgh.... but it's on sale too! So getting it now should be preferable than later but the amount of money I spent already.... Ohgodwhy.

I'm sorry wallet-chan.... your sacrifice will not be in vain....

[ExtraMana]

I'm thinking of getting Megadimension Neptunia VII.

Will review if I pick it up.

[Kaguya]

Playing it now.

Hnnnnnnnnnng. Uzume is the cutest thing ever. 

She'll probably end up as my favorite character in the series. 

 

 

[Kaguya]

Million Arthur is pretty nice. Essentially all of her skills are elemental AoE attacks with different ranges, and she's pretty useful.

God Eater hasn't been that good yet, but she's helping.

Also, K-Sha is too moe. I've always had a thing for her type. Hnnnnnnnng.

The writing in VII is much better than it was in V. Not mk2-level of wittiness, but at least as good as the first Neptunia was. Which is still much butter than V or all the Rebirth games.
Also, the absence of Nick Doerr gave us an un-meme-fied translation. Finally. Neptune is much more bearable in her "original" personality than her Americanized form, haha.

@Kaguya I don't understand how you can be so far after only one day
I'm playing for like 10h and am still in the first dimension. Just fed my Arfoire. I'm probably farming too much.
It takes quite some time for all the gameplay features to be unlocked.

[Kaguya]

@Tyrosyn - First, I ignore as many monsters as I possibly can, like in all the other Nep games I've played. 

Most of the time, I do dungeons without fighting anything other than the bosses. 

After that, rely on lots of buffs, debuffs, healing and DLC characters to pull my way through the boss fights.

The DLC characters in particular are a godsend. They're in all of your parties, so while the goddesses are leveling separately in their own stories (each finished their chapter while level 27~30 or so,) Million Arthur, for example, is level 37 right now (I should be midway through Vert's route, which is the only one left.)

And finally, time. I'm taking some time off work now, since I'm sick. I started playing yesterday afternoon, and I'm 13:30 hours in the game. 

 

Alright, done with the Hyperdimension part of the game.

Neptune really is the best goddess, after all.

 

 

Great credits, too:

Though that friend is a yandere mercenary. I guess it's still something?

...Who am I kidding. K-Sha is the most adorable character in the Neptunia series. I love her type. She's better when she's going yandere over Noire, but she's great normally, too.

 

Grand Finale, here I come!

I have no idea about what'll happen, but the setup of this one is eerily similar to NepNep 2's start (all of the four goddesses going to investigate something and leaving their sisters behind.) 

We'll see how it goes.

EDIT: 

Uuugh. Like I thought, the plot of the grand finale starts off exactly like NepNep 2

I don't wanna use Nepgear and her lame party of characters I midly dislike. The CPU candidates are fine as support, but I don't like having them as leads... The villains seem to all be characters I love, too, so I don't even wanna win. 

*Kaguya whines*

 

EDIT 2:

Oh, I get to play as the Gold Third, too. Then it's fine.

 

EDIT: and I finished the game. 

Damn, the normal ending in this one is bittersweet. 

This game felt a lot more serious than the previous entries, in general. 

Absolutely loved it. 

22 hours, 22 minutes and 45 seconds, is what it took me, huh. I could've done it faster if I used the DLC items from the beginning of the game. 

And of course, some of my highlights, in no particular order:

 

I'll never forget your heroic sacrifice, Uzume.

(this was the closest fight I had in the game. I never lost, though.)

 

[Kaguya]

Just did the true ending for Re;Birth 3.

It was nice.

Lol at this series of post-end events. Were they setting up for the idol game or something?

Am I the only one who actually liked the meme translation? I feel like it fit.

[Eclipsed]

Fk, I needa get off my lazy ass and play this shit

I lol'd at this too. The difference is that in this case, Japanese memes were localized as English memes. That's fine. Western player will think N-chan references 4chan, but obviously it's a reference to 2channel. Doesn't matter. The joke is still funny and has the same meaning as the original line.

What people don't like is for example Neptune spouting random nonsense memes, making her look like a retard, when in the original Japanese she's just saying a normal sentence. That's not the same Neptune anymore.
Don't you see a difference between Victory and Victory-II regarding Neptune's lines?

Yeah, I noticed that her spoken lines were quite different from the very beginning.

In general she feels like a much more exaggerated version of her actual self in the translations. 

I just decided to ignore that, though. 

[Kaguya]

So, we'll be getting Blanny   Nep vs Zombies this fall, it looks.

[Eclipsed]

I was always meh towards Vita Neptunia limited editions cuz 1. just wait for them to flashsale for like 5 bucks instead of paying l0l $60+ or 2. wait for it to go on steam and captain jack sparrow it

but fk, the superdimension neptunia sega is actually pretty nifty and really tickles my collector's instinct since you'll get a vita skin and a iffy pillow case in addition to the standard ost+artbook

still expensive af tho @ $64.99 http://www.iffysonlinestore.com/NepSega_LE/

preorders start on the 15th this month.

Have they made the fighting mechanics deeper from the last spin off like this?

[Eclipsed]

I finally willpowered myself into continuing Re;birth 3, though as usual I'll be moving at snail's pace from here on out. 

Chapter 7, l0l at how Yellow Heart usurps Vert's defining niche


~~
^Whoops i forgot to respond to Extramana

More or less Zombies' gameplay is the same as Action Unleashed, with maybe a few quality of life improvements here and there. I didn't get very far in it yet though

I quit rebirth 3 after the 2 hours tbh. I just couldn't deal with the repetitive battling that happens in those games.

[Kaguya]

Re;Birth 3 is kind of a hit-or-miss one. It'll work if you can highly enjoy Plutia for what she is. It  probably won't, otherwise.

By the way, I highly recommend VII. It's just so much better than all of the Re;Birth titles in every possible way, to me.

I played the first hour or two of VII and it just felt like more of the same, but having to re-level my party..again was too much.
