Anime Hyperdimension Neptunia on Steam

[LESS T_T]

The first Neptunia thing is now on Steam, and will be released in next week.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/282900/

Check back here for the game's launch on Wednesday, 1/28! Re;Birth1 will be available for the first week at 50% off!

Key Features

• Previously only available on consoles, now you can immerse yourself in the zany JRPG madness of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series for the first time on PC!
• Major graphical updates let you savor the true power of these Goddesses in 1080p!
• Battle with up to 3 characters on the field, with 3 more as support. Use them to perform special attacks, or swap them out at any time!
• Use "Plans" to customize the game - change up enemy difficulty, dungeon treasures, and more!
• Craft unique equipment imbued with one or more abilities!

Clearly, and fortunately, this is not what Ghostlight is up to.

NIPPON DAI ICHI, DESU

 

[Crooked Bee]

Bought it.


I don't think I'll be playing this particular game anytime soon, but I hope it sells well enough for even more JRPG devs to start considering PC/Steam a viable platform.

50% discount on launch!!

I do not know shit about the game except it costs 4 times more expensive on Vita, it's Turn-Based and it has 50 discount.

I've seen this

and bought the game.

Anyone played the series?

Really?

 

[Tehdagah]

I never played it but

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Don't play this shit man, you'll only get brain cancer from this.

 

[omega21]

What genre is the game even? Gameplay is all over the place.

 

[Damned Registrations]

From what I've read about it, it seems to have some interesting gameplay systems in it. However, it also seems to be universally panned as awful shit, even among weeaboos.

It is a turn based action game with a butt-load of customisation.

So....Divinity: Original Sin, Japan Edition?

From what I understand there are 4 main Goddesses who represent consoles. Essentially the main characters are PS3, Xbox, Wii and Sega. It's sorta a parody of the whole console war thing, buried deep beneath all the fan service and pandering.

 

[RK47]

oh. meta.
anime.
decensor patch?

Can the PS3 girl be used as a grill?
Can the Wii girl use nunchucks?
Can the XBOX girl have any moves related to RRoD?

 

[Amn Nom]

I want to buy these to support JRPG developers putting their games on Steam, but all that fan service... Yeah, I'll just wait until Trails in the Sky SC/Corpse Party/Ys 6 (notice a pattern?) pops up.

 

[The Last Blackguard]

I'd say I get pissed off with obvious moe pandering in my anime, because it's "common" and there's not much else, but I'm on board with it in my jRPGs because it's different from the norm.


...the success of IF/CH/NIS games might change that attitude, though.

Apparently Neptunia Re;Birth 2 is coming to PC in May

[Scroo]

oh that's cool, since re;birth 2 never was released for PS3 and I don't have a vita.

 

[felipepepe]

So, is the game actually cool or you guys just play it for the lulz? (which is cool too)

 

[Crooked Bee]

I haven't played it yet, personally. It's a turn-based RPG though and I hear the systems are fairly interesting? Awful art style and fanservice aside.

 

[vonAchdorf]

There still isn't an ETA for Fairy Fencer F though, or did I miss something?

Not that I know of.

I played a bit. It's okayish. All that console and JRPG-related jokes are funny. Can't say much about the game systems cause I played only for a couple of hours, but hey, it's at least turn-based
