Playing Neptunia.
Wondering why I can't have girlfriend who is a spunky little girl that can turn into a grown beautiful woman

The mere mention of Neptunia makes me sad. First of all I missed the original release of it because I never had my PS3 in time (was waiting for AT3) and then the premium edition sold out. So then I wait weeks/months for NISA to restock it before finally getting a copy. I receive my copy and was anxious to play but the PSN was down so I couldn't make a PSN account and download the DLC for extra characters. No problem, I have other games to play. A month later and the PSN finally comes back up so I go to make an account and lo and behold the only name I've used online over the course of 11 years is taken for the first time ever. I haven't looked at the game or my PS3 since.

Neptune is a charage, reference game, dungeon crawler, and RPG.

Basically, the plot is silly. Don't play it for the plot. It's basically 2 fetch quests and a final boss, stretched over an entire play-through. It had some high moments though in Leanbox, which actually held my interest through all the dungeons.

And while we're on the topic, the dungeons are also silly. After a dozen of them you notice they're almost all built the same. The mission objective is the farthest large room, while the treasure is in some branch of varying degrees of remoteness from the shortest path to the objective. There's no mix up in it. Every mission or quest involves entering a generic dungeon, fighting random encounters, and getting somewhere, or in a few cases some items. It gets tiring and starts to feel really lazy on the developer's part after a while. Especially when the party get trapped in a supposedly empty disk, that has monsters and a boss inside. I really would have liked some other things to do to break up the monotony besides listen to 5pb. Like places to explore, and not just barrel through asap, or maybe some simple puzzles.

Continued below because the board is a dick.

/v/ told me to ask you guys about Hyperdimension Neptunia. How was the game?

Okay OP. Let me help you.
