Hyperdimension Neptunia
| This whole series is garbage imho. They copy paste these games like they're going out of style.
I still remember how awful the first game was and I never thought the game was going to take off like it did. I don't get it. I like cute stuff but not like this. Everything is a mindless chore.
Also you will see those same stupid enemies in every single Neptunia game. The cutesy characters are obviously the focus, at the expense of everything else
Avoid like plague.
| Play rebirth 2 for the cute imoutos, then realize you don't have to play another
| Lol op asks to be sold but no one is even willing
| >>82374 no, the original 1&2 are the worst
"GOTTA AIM FOR THE HEAD, GOTTA AIM FOR THE HEAD, GOTTA AIM FOR THE HEAD"
| Yes, not worth playing unless you really like the character design/the girls.
Battle system gets old real quick, annoying voices, bland story.
It is as asset flipper and cookie cutter as Dynasty Warriors games.
Even worse, you see similar games with different name from Idea Factory too. One example is Fairy Fencer F

At least ______ Warriors series is somewhat fun, especially the cross-over entries. Although assets are certainly being flipped there.
| Im gonna nep u up
| Neptunia fans: Nep nep meme nep nep meme nep nep
Even the fans won't sell you the game because there are many JRPGS that has better story, better mechanics, or even better girls (unless your fetish is specifically girls that constantly say nep).

| Cute waifus, amusing light hearted story. Simple game but refreshing when every other game you play is the most grave and serious thing in the world. Especially can't go wrong for $5.
| So youre saying there are better things to blow my $5 on?
| ^assuming you like anime style game/JRPG in general.
>Valkyria Chronicle
not on sale now, but usually they are on sale 5$ or lower. Unique SRPG, with many playable girls. A bit broken on the mechanics tho.
>100% orange juice
Party game with cute characters. Fun and not so serious game.
>Disgaea PC
Not 5$, but close enough. Great SRPG, many options for different playstyle, great replayability, silly and not serious story but decent
| >Trails in the sky 1
10$ but it is a very well made JRPG. Interesting worlds and decent story.
| I bought one when I picked up a vita and honestly it's pretty weak. Cute girls are cute but the combat is boring and the whole thing felt clunky as fuck. Got way more enjoyment out of Atelier and got that jrpg weeb itch
| Oh yeah I forgot:
>Recettear
4$ fun JRPG with shop management side mechanics. The battle system is clunky, but I think it fits perfectly in "cute girls doing cute things" niche because the story and characters isn't too serious
| So I feel like the odd one out because I like the series. The girls are cute, the humor is in line with mine for the most part, I personally like the character interactions. play rebirth 1, not the first game. Megadimention neptunia v-ii is probably the best game in the series but rb1 is a very good introduction. Those enemies are just the cannon fodder, nearly everything in these games is a reference to something or a joke of some kind don't take it too seriously
| >>86248 I think it's generally established that the girls are cute and do cute things but can you say anything good about the combat? I got bored of it real fast, and I pretty much quit the game because of it.
| If you can't overlook the enemies then don't worry about it, these games aren't for everyone. The criticism of things being copy paste is fair, many of the dungeons are the same, I think this is to save space as it is a vita port. Combat isn't great but if you hold rb you can skip the combat animations and mash through if your high enough level. Don't forget to change your combo string when you get new abilities and in rb1 verts special is very strong use that for bosses
| >>86252 combat is serviceable personally, it's interesting to see all the animations for the specials but once you've seen them it gets kinds boring I guess
| I recommend just holding rb and trying to end it as fast as you can if you want to play but don't like the combat
| I've always played grindy games so the combat didn't really bother me much. Something interesting it's in rb2 there are a few attacks that delay the monsters next attack so if you end up playing it try and figure out the best setup to make bosses never hit you :p
| You could also use the remake system to make enemies weaker, or buy dlc because dlc in nep games usually just gives you op stuff

| Sell the series to me. I've started and dropped it for about 3 times now and I just can't. Gameplay seems okay (albeit grindy) and I love cute console girls doing cute things but...
THESE FUCKING ENEMIES OH MY GOD WHY why do I have to fight mario pipes and LITERAL VN SCREENSHOTS holy shit why. I get that it's kinda funny and ironic because it's console wars the game, but it's still so fricking stupid holy shit.
