Visual Novels, Doujin & Otaku Games

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

Lets discuss visual novels, otaku culture-related games (Project Diva, Idolmaster) and Doujin tittles for the Vita, PSP, DS and anything else.

[Anonymous No.]

How is Project DIVA? I'm a little put off by rhythm games that use a standard controller. How does it work? Could I get away with very rudimentary Japanese knowledge?

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

Some various news.

Project DIVA is a lot of fun. It takes a bit of getting used to as far as the controls. And no you don't really need to know Japanese.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10122847
My brother likes them and they are fun as HELL. Wish they would localize them in the future.

You told me you would play Atelier and you still haven't played the untranslated ones. There are even some of them for PSP.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

Incredibly easy, only Extreme (the hardest difficulty) is actually hard. You don't need to know Japanese either as you can figure out what most things are.

Call of Duty flopped, the Vita is officially dead.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

Nope.

Why would you give a shit about some random western game?

[Sudo !Tohsaka8ks No.]

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is great, probably my favorite game of the year. I got the platinum trophy on the Vita version and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a worthy successor to 999 and surpassed it in some ways. It's even dual audio.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10123251
It's pretty damn good.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

So Fire Emblem 12 has a full patch now.

Also the last one did get deleted.

>>10124504
Stop doing that shit if you don't want your threads to constantly be harassed and deleted. You're seriously retarded. If you really want to discuss JRPG and JRPG-like games you should go to their /vg/ general threads. They're surprisingly pleasant, civil and free from /v/-like people.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

Pretty sure Europe is getting all of the same releases as North America. Some games are even released there before North America because Nintendo is weird.

>Also the last one did get deleted.
Yep, I deleted it because a certain someone went crazy right off the bat.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10126320
No, I meant the last one as in the one the guy was talking about. The one I linked to where I said "Please respond". Also you're damn paranoid.

Devil Survivor Overclocked is STILL not out albeit they said they're translating it.

[Anonymous No.]

play with this
*whips out dick*

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10126598
Just buy the original version of it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10128402
You mean the normal Devil Survivor? Would seem like a waste.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10128414
As far as I am aware Overclocked just has voice acting and 3D. There is no major difference between the two.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10128430

Playable epilogues.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10128480
Alright, I guess that is something cool but doesn't really add anything of substantial value.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm actually considering getting both a PSV and a 3DS and selling my PS3.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10128484

While there are no major changes, buying the original is still buying the inferior version. If someone has the choice between the two then it'd be silly not to pick up Overclocked.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10128495
The PS3 has better games still than the Vita and 3DS combined. Here is one of them.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10128499
Except he can't because he only has a European 3DS.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10128511
Played that already, one of the few good ones in my opinion. I don't know, console gaming feels so tiring to me now while handhelds are so much more relaxing. It doesn't help that my monitor has no HDMI so every time I want to play, I'd have to unplug my computer DVI cable and plug the PS3 one in. Same with the audio.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10128529
I don't have any 3DS. I'm just contemplating whether buying an American one would make more sense.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10128536
I already told you earlier in this thread nerd that it isn't.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10128558
Why not?

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10128580
Were you not paying attention? You are getting all of the games we are getting.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10128596
Well evidently not. Or if yes then months later.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

Be patient.

[Sakura !RAILgUnr8s No.]

The Japanese 3DS is the smartest choice, but if you can't understand Japanese, and are choosing between an American 3DS and European one, get an American one.

An American 3DS will run you 149.99 dollars, assuming you buy it at regular price, and don't find it on sale or anything. A European one will run you around 200 dollars + taxes.

Now, I have no idea what kind of fees you have for importing things, or what shipping will cost, but even if you import an American 3DS, I can't imagine it would end up being more expensive than buying a European 3DS domestically.

Games as well, will be a bit cheaper, because of the exchange rate, so it shouldn't be any more expensive to import games either.

So if they're both going to end up costing you the same, you should just go with the model that has the better library/faster localisations (on average). You can feel free to do your own research though, as it's not like I really looked much into it.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

Nightly bump.

Buying locally versus importing with customs comes roughly to the same cost for the console, maybe a little less for the games but that would include a trip to the customs office which isn't optimal. I think that prices are going to drop a little bit after the current black friday deals. They're actually dropping the 3DS down to 119 or 129 soon but I want to get an XL anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

which site do you use for importing things like the 3ds anyways? I know yes-asia has free shipping but I'm not sure they aren't overpricing things to make up for it

[Anonymous No.]

>>10130634
I'd just buy it off ebay I think. Most American shops don't have international shipping or you need a credit card for it.

[Anonymous No.]

it's 139

Ditto. Would make everything so much easier.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10131097
I hope they do it for the 3DS XL because I want to upgrade to one.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10131990
They just bundle one with MK7 for $199.

I just ordered a Vita (150€) with P4G by the way. I'm going to play the hell out of it and when I'm done, I might sell both for more. Or I'll keep it, depending on if there are any news regarding localizations or I get off my ass and start learning Japanese.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10132005
Just don't throw a tantrum because it doesn't have a second language track.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10132019
Yeah I know. I'll have to deal with it like I did with my first playthrough of P3P.

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10132024
I am honestly enjoying the game too much to care.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10132034
Do you have a clue if all 3DS games have furigana and how it is with the Vita?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10132019
i thought it was going to have japanese audio

[Anonymous No.]

Any chance of this edition coming to America?

[gigs !A7GLsxo4c. No.]

>>10132039
I haven't ported any 3DS games and the Vita games I have imported I haven't played yet.

>>10132040
Nope.

>>10132054
Probably never.

[Sakura !RAILgUnr8s No.]

>>10132039
Most 3DS games do not have furigana. The only games that will, are things like Animal Crossing or AKB48+Me. Games that are meant for little kids.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10132241
Weird. I saw them in the SMT IV trailer.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10132250
Yeah, that was cool. I really wish I had waited to see that so I got a Japanese 3DS instead. At the same time, who knows how far the homebrew scene will advance in the next little while? Importing would be pretty costly, even if for just a few games.

[Sakura !RAILgUnr8s No.]

>>10132250
Maybe the game has an option for it then or something. Most games don't though. I know my copies of games like Bravely Default, New Love Plus, Fire Emblem, etc don't have furigana for everything like that.

Soul Hackers was apparently semi-confirmed.

lookie, no ports...besides soul hackers.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10133508
It's only confirmed by the fact that Atlus has localized every single game of theirs since P3.

Except the P2 S&P port to the PSP but that's only because it was released this year and the PSP is fucking dead in the west.
