Incline Elminage Gothic (former Japan only dungeon crawler)

[TheGreatOne]

Those physical copies will work 20 years from now on (and can be sold for money) while those psn games are gone once you make space on your memory card and psn has gone down for good

 

[SuicideBunny]

psn games can just be copied from the stick to your backup medium of preference, iirc.

thats correct, you can copy and move them to your computer, a different memory stick, whatever

OTOH if you think your system will still work 20 years from now...

I don't understand, is it an old game or a new game being ported to Engrish?

If it was any good it would have been released in English nearer to the release. That's a generalization and applies mostly to AAA titles but still... why no translate kemosabe?

It's an old game, although I don't think it ever had a JP PC version.

As for what the original wasn't translated... because it was on the PSP, which was eventually considered financial suicide due to low install base + high piracy.

And blobbers are pretty timeless in a sense, in that even if it was translated and released on the same day in Japan, AAAfags are going to think it looks dated anyway while people who would play blobbers don't care as long as they can get sweet dungeon crawling goodness.

Might require changing of some parts, like in the case of some PC engine hardware where they used poor capacitors that have started breaking over time. I don't know if PSPs have any inherent problems like that.They'll might just work if you take good care of them. Since it use UMDs rather than cartridges, chances are that it has a lower lifespan the Nintendo DS. But 20 years shouldn't be a problem, CD based stuff from 1989/early 90s still works. Cartridge based hardware like Atari 2600s will outlive their owners. Depends on the design of the system, though planned obsolescence is more likely these days.

There's more screenshots at the link, but they're all damn tiny like these.

edit: I think it's better change the thread title appropriately.

Man, I've been dying for a massive Wizardry-style dungeon crawl for so long now. I am so hyped for this. I really can't find much information on this game, but I've found a wiki on the PSP version and the character building seems very deep (unlockable classes and races!) and in the vein of the later Wizardry games. So pumped.

Hundreds of stunning monsters? Fuck, count me out.

[SuicideBunny]

I am intrigued, though I'm so busy that I'll wait to see codex opinions before buying it.

 

[Sinatar]

For what it's worth, the beta is really good. Fans of Wizardry 1 - 5 should check it out.

 

[eric__s]

Just pre-purchased it. I can't believe it's only $8.

it's only 8 bucks, so not a big loss even if it turns out to suck. we'll see in 3 days.

It's an absurd amount of game for that value. There are 92 dungeon floors total, which is more then double Wiz 1 - 5 combined.

Yeah, you're right. Pre-purchased, although I can't say when I'll get the chance to play it in full.

This launches Thursday on Steam.

Haven't played any of the others but looks like a dungeon crawl. Anyone have any experience with it??

 

[Urbanolo]

It's a port from Playstation Portable, so expect it to be a piece of turd with 'cute animu girls'.

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

It was like 8 bucks so I went ahead and bought it. Will post impressions when I have time to play.

 

[Alchemist]

There is some discussion on it in the jRPG section here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...oming-to-pc-in-english-any-ideas.91683/page-2

I don't know a lot about it and I have plenty of games in my backlog, but I might take a gamble on this just to support more dungeon crawl blobbers coming to the PC. And the graphics aren't cutesy anime - they seem quite westernized.

no

I never played the series myself, as I don't know moonspeak, but generally art reminded me of earlier (japanese) Wizardry games. It isn't moeblob-ish, if it remains me of any anime, it would be Records of Lodoss War OVA.
