moemoe daisenryaku, nice

>>8927163
I'm thinking about importing this. It's not PS3, but whatever.

>>8927170

You can emulate it on mame.

>>8927163
I imported imas2 and galgun.
Haven't really played idolmaster alot because I cannot enough into moon.
But GalGun is great. The 3D models and character animations are amazing.

Just Xillia and White Album.

I like the Gal Gun demo but I'm too poor at the moment.

>>8927169
It's alright.
The 3d graphics are PS2 level but the CG looks pretty nice (and it's high res).
The SRPG bit is pretty interesting with loads of options on level up.
Also their clothes fall off when they take damage.

>>8927172
Yeah, I know, but I just find more pleasure when playing shmups on a console.

>>8927182
What have you unlocked so far?
I've found a wiki that lists everything about the game including the unlocks.
http://www44.atwiki.jp/galgun/pages/50.html

Wish I found it earlier before I spent all my gold feathers on lame stuff.

>>8927194
>The 3d graphics are PS2 level but the CG looks pretty nice (and it's high res).
Well, that's what you have to expect when playing almost every Japanese game ever. They have great artists but when it comes to programming/3D...
Not that I care, though. As long as it has nice 2D CG I'm happy.

I own two of those three games. I've had im@s2 for ages now but Galgun hasn't arrived yet.

I preordered it ages ago and actually forgot that it was even out already.

I only have GalGun. It's pretty fun but I can't get a good ending with anyone but Kaname, I'm not sure if I'm messing my stats up at the start or what.

Is Moe Moe any good? I have a coupon to use too and was thinking about it, there's also Mugen Souls but that looks like it's being localised in the future.

>>8927209
Pretty much only CGs. My autism demands that I unlock everything in order. Is there anything cool to unlock, like new costumes?

I've got Another Century's Episode R, that's all. It's okay, the controls are very unintuitive.

Is GalGun actually a good game beyond the absurd basic concept of it?

>>8927220
The 300 point one is this outfit.
The 30 point ones are new attacks for the girls (like omelet rice instead of love letter).
The 100 point ones are also new outfits (swimsuits and maid)

>>8927239
Holy shit, I need this. But how am I ever going to get 300 points?

Out of the PS3 Tales, should I pick Vesperia or Xillia? I've been hearing bad things about the latter saying it's incomplete, but it still looks nice.

Majikoi is also getting a PS3 port. I might get that because I actually like the friendship in the VN.

>coupons
I'm listening, OP.

What's idolm@ster like anyway? I haven't played any.

>>8927216
I've got True end with Kaname and good end with the other 3.
I think the requirements for True end is a really good score, picking the right choices during conversations and doing well on the minigames involving the girl (in order to see the memory bit).
I don't know if the stats have any effect, in fact I don't know if they do anything at all.

>>8927257
Well it's not much.
$5 off on a $60 purchase
NE-WXB-ETH
Expires on the 14th of may.

>>8927257
I see. I just suck at the game, I guess.

Importing Japanese games from Japan is so darn expensive.
Not only are the games themselves more expensive, you have to pay currency conversion rates and shipping as well.

>>8927163
Please, tell me more about these coupons op

>>8927250

Just finished Xillia a few weeks ago, my thoughts are it is a so-so Tales game. I did not feel it was rushed more so than it was short and extremely linear. Combat was ok, the link system was kinda neat, but I felt it swinged from enemies constantly ebign able to break out of combos to link combos absolutely destoying. Characters were pretty likable, but it missed a lot of previous Tales staples.

So I would go with Vesperia, as that has bonus content (haven't played it yet)

>>8927281
My main issue was how repetitive the fields and dungeons felt after awhile. There's pretty much no variety at all.

Not OP but I have a spare coupon as well. $5 for order over $60.

RX-ZFY-VDA

Expries tommorrow. Have fun~

>>8927297
>>8927281
I'd forgive any of that, but ONLY 4 ingame costumes total? No, I won't deal with it, Scamco.

>>8927222
It's a rail shooter with VN elements.
If you like rail shooters then I recommend it.
It has many neat mechanics that makes it pretty unique just from a game point of view.
For example every girl has different weak-points for example: the forehead, thighs, behind the knee, ears, armpits etc.
There are loads of unlockables and modes for replayability and there are many cute mini games between the shooting.

>>8927312
I bought some because I'm a sucker.

So where do you buy those games.
I'd like to buy them but the only site I know is PlayAsia and is expensive as hell.
If I were to use proxy such as Tenso, from which sites should I buy... amazon.jp or what?

>>8927349
Play-Asia. Importing games is always expensice.

>>8927349
Amiami is decent but they don't seem to keep games stocked for very long.

>>8927388
They don't keep anything stocked for long.
They only order one shipment of everything. Once its out its not going to be in stock ever. That is my only complain about them.

>>8927385
Isn't buying them using proxy cheaper than PlayAsia?
And just out of curiosity how much do you spend for one game from PlayAsia, more or less?

>>8927423
I live in one of the the most expensive countries in the world and my country's currency is at an all time high which means that ordering from play-asia is only slightly more expensive than a retail game is here.

>>8927454
Canada?

>>8927492
Norway.

I'm gonna buy another Xbox point card for more Live for You shit. I could use coupons ...

>>8927163
I bought this a month ago. I regret it.
I finished the 360 verisons of Idolmaster 2 and GALGUN. I haven't even checked to see what they added to the ps3 versions.

>>8927591
Looks like a Disgaea clone.

>>8927596
It's not. It's just the same company/artist.
The gameplay is completely different.
Can't wait to get this game localized.

>>8927726
>same company
Nevermind, that's wrong.

Things I'm going to import
Mahjong Dream Club C - because /jp/ made me love mahjong the two summers we were constantly playing and the lack of summer /jp/ mahjong makes me sad

Aquapazza - because I get to use sexy sexy Touka in a fighting game, which I might be terrible at but will try my hardest to be mediocre

Last game I imported:
Mahjong Taikai IV - it's okay AI cheats to high heavens though

Another Century Episode R - Friend raves about the ACE series, says it's the best ever and that everyone should play it. Finally order a copy and tell him about it, "Why would you pick up that one it's the worst in the series it almost made me hate giant robot games" Payment goes through right before I can cancel it : (

I am hopeful it will not be as bad as I fear.

What I was about the import but localization was announced:
Pokemon: Conquest, One Piece Pirate Warriors, Ni no Kuni, Witch and the hundred nights and that other one err I mean this>>8927591. At least I think that last one got announced.

>>8927163
How is moemoe daisenryaku? Is it a turn based closer to the SRW series or is it more like Japan's attempt at making a Real Time Strategy turn based?

I only ever played the PSP version for like 10 seconds at a demo stand during an anime convention before some lovely person elbowed in and made them switch to Ikki tousen. That was enlightening.

I want to import IM@S 2 but I feel it woudl be worthless without the ability to get yens to buy delicious DLC.

>>8929121
In a sense, it is closer to SRW. However, it is much closer to compare it with games such as Nectaris or Civilization (only the combat system). However, as someone who has played te non-moe moe Daisenryaku, I was a bit disappointed that they removed practically all of the "strategy" elements that saturated the older Daisenryaku games. That is to say, for me, the price for cute girls being cute war machines was too steep. Then again, it you're just after simple gameplay anyway, that's probably what you want. It's just that I felt betrayed when I expected the usual complicated shit like terrain mods, surround, multiple flight levels, fuel consumption, supply lines, etc. etc. etc. that I've come to love from the Daisenryaku games.

Tokitowa preorders when?

>>8929443
Well I guess that's both good and bad, I rather like SRW and if it has similar gameplay that's definitely a boon since I'll loosely know what's going.
It's bad because if it changed from the formula too much it might not be as good as games from the other series. Although I never played the other series, so there's that.

I might pick it up when it hits THE BEST pricing though, because memories of playing 3 different SRW without a proper translation still haunt me to this day.

>>8929494
When I can shake the feeling the game might play like a modern version of Dragon's Lair. which at the rate information is released about this game, might be the day before launch.

>>8929443
>>8929764
Moe moe daisensou is pretty cool.
You can pick between 3 campaigns: Middle eastern campaign, Vietnam campaign and World War 3.
These are basically 3 completely stand alone stories.
The game is like a VN broken up between various mini-games.

The battles are turn based, none-grid based.
Three basic unit types, air, ground and sea.
Each girl has two regular attacks and a special attack with various properties.
When you level up you get a few points that accumulate.
You can level up basically everything.
Their range, their damage, accuracy, special abilities etc and with max level 50 means that there are potentially lots of different paths you can choose depending on your strategy.
Also when the girls take damage, their clothes fall off.

After a battle you can play a little repair minigame where you fix any damage the girls have taken (all the while they're moaning and telling you how ticklish their cannon is or how perverted you are for touching their wings etc).

Then after that you can choose which girls to interact with post-battle, similar to home base phase in koihime musou.

It's a lot more dialog heavy than I expected and I don't find the dialog all that funny or cute but that may be because my Japanese isn't that good.
Many times I find myself just skipping ahead to get to the next battle.

Overall it's ok, but of my three purchases this is perhaps my least favorite one.

>>8930622
This is the anon the one you're replying to was replying to; I must have played a different version of the game, since the available scenarios are simply different points of views on WWII. Naturally, my hand was magnetically made to click the German scenario without hesitation. Then I realized it was going to follow a familiar storyline.

>that feel when winter outside of Moscow
We were so close ;_;

>>8930726
Yeah, I think daisensou and daisenryaku are different series.
moe moe daisensou has a focus on the cold war and modern times.

I wanted to buy AQUAPAZZA off of AmiAmi, so I was always checking the site because I want the arcade stick. Then one morning, pre-orders for the stick bundle is closed. I just said 'Why?'.

I want to get GalGun, but it will not be off of Play-Asia. Shit's expensive there.

Does anyone know what the stats in GalGun does?
The ones that you determine at the start by answering the questions and that changes when you use doki mode on the girls.

I bought Idolm@ster 2and Project Diva 2 when I went to Japan, I've tried playing idolmaster but my japanese is below basic and reading is right out so I keep pissing my girls off somehow...

Project Diva seems fine though I played it briefly and doesn't seem to text heavy and a quick scan of the menus seemed more or less self-explanatory so I don't think I'll have any trouble with that.

>>8933033
>a quick scan of the menus seemed more or less self-explanatory so I don't think I'll have any trouble with that.

There are translations of the menus (and other things) at http://projectdiva.wikispaces.com/

I'm getting idm@s 2 when money comes in and then probably nothing until SRW OG 2nd comes out (never)

How many years do I have to wait for some kind of greatest hits version of im@s 2?

>>8933056
Whoa, thanks bro!

>>8933071
I bought the platinum/greatest hits of im@s and Live for You on Xbox 360 3 years ago. 2009 so ... 3 years after the games debuted?

My PSN list is empty...
I wouldn't mind adding some /jp/ friends...

Just something I always say when I have the opportunity:

NIER

Ahhhh.... if only my moon weren't so rusty ;_;

PS: I reinforce >>8933378

Nothing against discussing import games, but OP try and make the thread less fucking obvious to wandering /v/ /a/ sheep. They might get it in their heads that its ok to discuss any games here. Not like it doesn't happen already but still.

Also IM@S2 is amazing with decent headphones. AD700s make it sound like you're in the audience.

>>8933464
How the hell is he supposed to start the thread? Stop being paranoid.

>>8933554

Not him, but: stop not being paranoid.

>>8933344

what the hell is that?

Why don't someone create an editable spreadsheet?

>>8933617
name, handle, id? what one uses to represent one's self across a gaming network?

>>8933775

It depends...
/jp/ uses PS3, so we have a psn/sen id

>>8933776
well, I figured it was kind of implied seeing as the thread was focusing on our ps3 games and psn IDs had been posted... I suppose I should have been more specific but whatever.

>>8933792
Perhaps I will add you, but I'm a little afraid...

>>8933804
just take it easy bro, just some casual gaming perhaps.

I would just ignore you if I added you. I let one person add me and every once in a while he sends me a message. I never reply and he still sends them. I don't know what to do about it.

I'm at a dilemma now.

Wow, is that thing still around? Jesus those were the days I didn't realize how/didn't have the space to torrent and was a poorfag.

>>8933554
I dunno, ask if someone else is playing moemoedaisenryaku and see where the ball rolls from there. The more general and obvious a thread the more people get the wrong fucking message.

NIER is so good and so underappreciated...
I've been following all speeches, interviews, etc. the director,producer,et al give about the future of NIER. All I wanted was they got enough money to do an equally good ambiance with better graphics and the same "feeling" the game has...
Ahhhh, I can dream

>>8934576
>>8934510
>>8933378
Why is Nier getting so much praise? It looks like a tryhard Western Game that Japanese game companies have been pushing and failing lately.

>>8934608

The development in story and ambient, I believe.
How you get to see everything from a different perspective on NG+
It's artistic, I believe. And the music and designs contribute to the feeling.
I don't know, I just find it extremely pleasing.

>>8934608
> It looks like
Maybe you should actually play it.

>>8934970
I wanna know how it stands out from the rest of the pile of Westernized Japanese game trash before I actually spend my time and money on it. Is that too much to ask?

Nier received mixed reviews. Reviewers criticized the graphics, with Ryan Clements of IGN saying that "one of Nier's greatest flaws is its visuals," while GameSpot's Kevin VanOrd bemoaned the "flavorless visuals" and "lifeless environments".[3][27] Dustin Quillen of 1UP.com said that the game "looks downright primitive", while Adriaan den Ouden of RPGamer, who awarded the game a higher score than most, said that "the environments are bland and poorly rendered".[2][4]

I'm glad my Vita will finally get some use with Zero no Kiseki coming out.

Imported monster hunter portable 3rd hd. Its nice to see smoother graphics and have a psp memory transfer.

C-can I add you guys on my PSN?
You are my only friends...

>>8942417
PSN ID?

>>8942417
Sure.

>>8942424
Yes
>>8942428
Well...

eh I just go to this shop that has imported games
sucks that they didnt have idolmaster on consoles

>>8942417
It's awkward to have people from /jp/ on your PSN list. They never talk to you and they never play games with you. The only person I ever played with on PSN is Bangkok. ZUNbar doesn't play fightan. Sion is too busy shitposting. The others that I have doesn't really play and just watch Netflix.

It's no different from real life. I suggest you just stop asking for PSN IDs.

>>8944252
What does ZUN!bar play?

>>8944254
Last time he was online, it was XIII-2. One time, he was playing NepuNepu, but it seemed he played Wizardry a lot.

I was waiting for the time when I can play Arcana Heart 3 with ZUNbar. I heard he's a beast.

>>8944252
Am I supposed to randomly message people? I don't know how these things work.
