/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I was going to say you shouldn't buy a console for one game, but I essentially bought my Japanese 360 just for im@s 2.

Well, good bye core i7 processor, thanks Sakura.

I wish Play-Asia would reopen orders for the Asian version already. I'm trying to be cheap here.

The demo was pretty nice, but extremely short. Anybody tried it?

Also, Haruka is an angel.

>>8006747
wait 5 years until there is a ps3 emulator

You may as well, there are plenty of other good PS3 games to play when you're done with that.

>>8006778
Just get a i5 2500k instead. You don't really need the i7.

Wouldn't one of you japanese speaking primary fans stream your game when you get it (one of these cards are about $150) so us lowly secondaries could enjoy it too?
Translate a bit of whats going on and maybe even let us vote over choices and costumes.
Who know maybe you'd even become an internet celebrity and you could live off the ads on your stream channel and youtube!
Sounds like a sugoi deal to me.

I had kinda wanted to get one of these like a year ago but never got around to it. Kind of expensive anyway.

>>8006949
and then another 10 years until we have tetracontagon cpus with 10 ghz per core.

>>8007068
As if. The hardware in a PS3 or 360 is already over 6 years old.

>>8007085
You weren't around when PS2 emulators first came out then?

I've had a j360 for about 18 months. Very worthy purchase for someone into /jp/sie stuff.

>>8007085
That doesn't mean it will be easy to emulate any time soon.

So much for CERO C

>>8006945
i was disappointed by the absence of my favorite characters...

>>8007098
>Very worthy purchase for someone into /jp/sie stuff.
Not.

>>8006809

I was waiting too but I broke down and just pre-ordered it from amiami

Wish I had the extra funds for the retardedly expensive $250 Limited Edition

>>8006989
For the first time i agree with sudo.

Are these two sisters?

>>8007975
No. Why would the perfect beauty on the left have anything to do with the old cow on the right?

>>8007983
Look at their hair/eye colors!

>>8007975
No. Why would the perfect, motherly beauty on the right have anything to do with the boring slut on the left?

>>8008102
Hey stop right there.

>>8007425
I want the LE for this, but I don't think it's worth the giant price hike just for this, considering they're releasing other volumes of the gravure for you.

i recommend getting a PSP with the 3 SP games. it's cheaper (even more so if you download the games), and the SP games are based on im@s1 which is a bit better than im@s2. not saying im@s2 is bad though.

>>8009413
I thought doing that too but SP doesn't have Takane, Hibiki or tweaked Makoto, feels bad. Might try out Chihaya or Azusa, I guess

>>8006945
How do you get the Demo? Do you need to access the japanese store or something?

I'm thinking about importing a 360 so I could finally try 1, 2, and Live for You. I've been a secondary for years now.

Aside from that Miku DLC, what else is the PS3 version getting over the 360 version?

>>8009522
just create a jp psn account...
there is no reason to use only the account from your country

>>8007499
Obviously a colon-crucified gaylord. You've got far more /jp/ related shit on a j360 than a PS3. I have both so I don't care really, but you'd be an idiot to deny it.

>>8009536
Just get a JTAG 360. They're region-free and you can pirate XBLA games and DLC. The only caveat is that you can't go online with them, but I personally don't care about that.

>>8009555
The only thing I would miss is online leaderboards and replays for shmups.

>>8007458
Ami, Iori, Azusa and Ritsuko are in the demo, you know. You need to choose that one event where you can select them as guests.

I always wondered about G4U. I hear they're also releasing one of them for the PS3. Does anyone know which one it is? Are all idols in it?
And is it true that you can only buy it bundeled with some im@s anime BD?

>>8009413
Idolm@ster 2 is far better than Idolm@ster 1. The only people that would disagree are like, hardcore Iori fans that like no one else.

>>8009833
Well, Iori IS one of the best idols.

>>8009842
Sure, but there are plenty of other great idols as well, and I'd personally take the ability to produce Takane and Hibiki over Iori any day.

I can't wait for Miki Miku.

Are they translated yet?

im@s1 has way better auditions (fact) and the 'story' is better (opinion). the overall experience is more memorable and spawned more memes than im@s2 ever will.

>>8012039
That's pretty gay, dude...

>>8012039
The best part is how Makoto's still in there.

>>8012068
>way better auditions (fact)
Your opinion is not fact. I find the auditions and overall gameplay much more enjoyable in 2.

>the 'story' is better (opinion).
I think the story in the 2nd is better. I much more enjoyed competing with Ritsuko and then Jupiter. I like president Kuroi. I think the individual girls story are better done as well, with an improvement in overall pacing.

>spawned more memes than im@s2 ever will
Ok...? Is meme spawning good or something? And of course imas1 spawned more memes. It was the first in the series. A number of the memes in 1 still exist in 2, and the goal of a game is not to spawn memes...

>>8007983
for some reason I am very angry

>>8009461
SP does have Hibiki, Takane and Rival Miki, they are just the antagonists rather than the main idols. You can produce them in Office(online) mode however.

>>8012136
It has them but it's hardly comparable to produce them.
>>8012136
>You can produce them
You can't produce them. You can just use them as characters for your auditions online.

>>8007008
Actually, the i7 has been proven to perform slower or as well as the i5 2500K. The i7 is not for gaming in the slightest.
