/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>objectively better

Gets old dude.

They're both shit.

L4U is the answer.

>>10821199
Go be mean someplace else.

>>10821213
Shut up nerd

*punchs you and takes your lunch money*

>>10821213
Yeah, whatever.

Keep waiting for a translation, little tryhard.

>>10821224
I don't need translations. I have been studying Japanese for 3 years now. I have the games in my room and can understand them just fine.
Stop self-projecting.

>>10821233
Then why are you asking which one is better, you hypocrite cunt? Get back to vocaloid forums.

Idolm@ster? more like Igot@wned lol.

>>10821261
Sorry, I almost forgot that this was a shitposting board and not a board for discussing otaku culture.

>>10821292
That's why you better get back to vocaloid forums, pal.

>>10821294
How about you go back to /a/b/v/, "pal."

How is this otaku culture?

I own im@s and Live for You but not im@s 2.

I would guess im@s is better seeing as how it started everything it's got to be fucking awesome, which it is.

I can't imagine the second would be as good, just more rehash of what worked in the first without the ability to change singing roles, twins having boobs, and no Awakened Miki

>>10821313
They also dumb down a lot more of the gameplay and the character arcs. Hibiki and Takane's especially, but a number of others take a turn for the worse. 2 is flashier but 1 is better. Some people say SP can give you the same experience but they've got no clue what they're talking about. If you've got the chance then try out the original because I get the feeling Im@s won't be returning to that for a good while.

>>10821186
Idolmaster SP for play
Idolmaster 1 for Miki
Idolmaster 2 for Yukiho

>>10821409
However, I don't think imas 1 was ever released on ps3, so that limits options.

>>10821409
How can you say they dumb down Hibiki's and Takane's route while their first route is in im@s 2 ? They are your rivals in SP, it's obvious that they act differently.

>>10821576
I dont know about Hibiki route, but Takane's apparently a cambodian clusterfuck of menyuna.

>>10821918
Hibiki was more hostile in SP and a bit more tsundere-ish. But in imas2 she isn't.

People seem to bitch about that but I find more then logical. She did get one year older, got away from a shitty agency and joined a much better one and neither are you her rival/enemy anymore.

>>10821186
I like her forehead.

>>10821186
Idolm@ster 2 is superior in every way. Unless you only like Iori and have no interest in any other girl, imas2 is the game to play.

>>10821409
>They also dumb down a lot more of the gameplay and the character arcs. Hibiki and Takane's especially
Hibiki and Takane do not have character arcs in idolm@ster 1. In fact they aren't even characters in the first game. And the gameplay in idolm@ster 1 is almost non-existant, while in idolm@ster 2 performances have become a more involved rhythm game.
I don't think you've played either game, or at the very least not the first one.

>>10822766
Her forehead is the miracle of this universe.

>>10820884
Be my guest.

Have the iOS been cracked yet?

Can I have some lewd Idolm@ster screencaps?

I love you Iori.
I love you.

wuld u svallow?

>>10821186
2 has better hair and eventually all the songs from the other games, so it's the best. Only forehead fans hate it.

>>10828508
2 does not have all the songs from the other games. 1 has better plot, one-on-one producing instead of that trio horseshit from one because they're too fucking lazy to write 12 routes. 3 non-producable idols, 4 if you count ritsuko.
Literally the only good thing about 2 is the improved graphics.

>>10828531
>1 has better plot, one-on-one producing instead of that trio horseshit from one because they're too fucking lazy to write 12 routes.
I don't think you've played the game.

>>10828542
Yes I have, one is better, /jp/ is the only place that I have ever seen anyone claim 2 to be better.
1 is so much better.

>>10828549
Every character in 2 has a route, so you saying they did the trio thing because they are too lazy to write routes for every body is incorrect, and is something someone who hasn't played the game would say.

>>10828560
>every character in 2 has a route
Nope.

>>10828563
Thanks for confirming you haven't played it. The leader of the trio you produce is the one whose route you do. Thus every girl has a route because every girl can be a leader. The other two girls are there simply for adding team dynamics, and making the game more interesting, they have no impact on the story of the girl you are main producing.

>>10828570
Every girl has a route huh?
Sounds like you're the one who hasn't played it.

>>10828531
I said "eventually" by which I mean through DLC.

>>10828573
Wow what an excellent argument you've made to further prove your point. http://exophase.com/game/アイドルマスター２-xbox-360/achievements/#SakuraProducer here is my gamertag I have the achievements on. All the produceable girls have a route. The change to producing a unit instead of one girl at a time has no affect on that.

>>10828603
>All the produceable girls have a route
>All the produceable girls

>>10828610
Go on.

>>10828612
You're a fucking moron.

>>10828616
Got nothing eh? It's ok. When you are ready to talk like an adult, let me know.

>>10828610
All girls are producible. You can't really believe they aren't.

>>10827532
Honey Sound has just hit private tracker(-s). I'll wait until all 3 are available and put a batch on TPB+Nyaa.

>>10828603
How do I show my achievements on that website? Sign up or something?

touhou

>>10830854
I think you just put your gamertag in and it will automatically archive it or something.

>>10828560
Execpt for Ami, Azusa and Iori.

>>10830896
No they're producible too, not that anyone would want to.

>>10830904
You can't really call that a route.

>>10830896
I mean all produceable girls have a route. The guy I was originally replying to was complaining about how they have you produce 3 girls at a time instead of 1 on 1 like the first game, and then implied they did it like that because they were too lazy to write routes. But that doesn't make any sense because whether you are producing the girls one on one, or in units of 3, it would still be the same number of routes, as the other 2 girls in the unit have nothing to do with the leader's route, and are just there to enhance the gameplay experience.

>>10830915
Right, I see. I would love to just produce one girl instead of a unit though.

>>10821186
Define better

Oh shit, I found me

No that's not my real name.

>>10830915
Oh my god, my ranking of im@s 2 has gotten even lower. First no changing who sings what parts and now I learn you MUST have 3 girls?

What happened to im@s? Customization is a huge appeal in the game. Without it you can't even make proper videos. What the hell are they thinking?

I don't think I'm missing much not buying it. Let me finish buying all the outfits and songs for Live for You first.

>>10832942
More customization means more work. More work means less profit margins. That's how every successful franchise works. Hit once, and keep the cash flowing afterwards.

>>10832942
>my ranking of im@s 2 has gotten even lower
Your ranking of a game you haven't played has gotten lower eh? Boo hoo. If you hadn't bought it by now you were never going to buy it.

>now I learn you MUST have 3 girls? Customization is a huge appeal in the game.
There is a separate part of the game where you can have whoever you want sing a song, even solo. You only need 3 girls for the story mode.
