Games, Games, GAMES!! (Besides iDOLM@STER, of course XD)

[Amazing_Grace]

Besides Perfect Sun, I play a lot of beat-'em-up style games, like King of Fighters, Street Fighter, Dead or Alive, and Tekken. Don't know if Super Smash Bros. Brawl counts, but I play that often.

Also, I don't know if this is the right board to do this, but I'm looking for a good, 3D style, browser-based, free RPG. Doesn't have to be MMO, I probably won't interact with other players anyways, but it seems all RPGs are MMORPGs. So.
But I REALLY want to find and play a good one. I've tried downloading Aura Kingdom because I want to play that so badly, but it just won't download. Gyaah. So now I'm on the hunt for some browser-based ones I can play without having to download a hundred-thousand things.

I don't really know what a good place for this would be other than this topic, but...

For other Neptunia fans like myself, three new characters were announced for Noire's upcoming Vita game.

- Based on Sakura Taisen - Brossa・ Aizen [Romanization uncertain] (ブロッサ・愛染) - CV: Yuka Terasaki
- Based on Biohazard - Bio - CV: Hamika Takahashi (Previously known as Capcom, an unused character from Victory)

And of course, the reason I post here...

- Based on Idolm@aster - Ai Masushima (増嶋愛) - CV: Satomi Akesaka

No scans yet, so we don't know what she looks like. I kinda hope they make her look like Ai.

EDIT: Oh, not my romanization of the names, just in case they're wrong. Point fingers at someone else.

I haven't played Neptunia yet, but I REALLY want to and plan to once I get my hands on a PS3. Unfortunately, I think they have English voices, and the Japanese voices would be better. Unless, of course, that game hasn't been recorded in English, and was just released in America with the Japanese voices.

I think they're English though.

Anyways.
Having a character based on The iDOLM@STER is going to be AWESOME. Like, seriously. That just sounds great.

They should have chosen a iM@S voice actress to voice her though.

This particular game will be for Vita.

All Neptunia games have dual audio, English and Japanese. The English dub is really good, though. Most people prefer it to the JP track (though the JP track does have an all-star cast).

I noticed that, but I already have a PSP and never update my systems until the one I have breaks. Which means I won't be getting a Vita until my PSP is unplayable. It's just the way I game, since I don't want to spend money on extra systems. I'm weird like that.

Anyways, I've always preferred Japanese voices to English no matter how good the English voices are. I've become extremely attached to a lot of the Japanese voice actresses in the games, especially with the introduction of the main goddesses sisters in mk2. Yes, I did just look up the official game title on Wikipedia, since I've still never played it but have heard their character songs, and seen it on shelves.
Eri Kitamura is my top favorite voice actress ever, and pairing her with at least ten other voice actresses I'm very fond of means I'll definitely be playing this with the Japanese voices.
Thanks for clearing that up, though!

Also, Ai looks really cute.

I finished Cecilia's story in Hexyz Force yesterday. I really rushed through the last two chapters because I thought I was near the end (I was wrong, there was still a decent amount left) and I wanted to see how the story would conclude. Overall, it's an enjoyable game. The music was good, the 3D character models were charming, and the plot was satisfactory. The game has some of the best looking 3D locations I've ever seen generated by the PSP. It wasn't perfect, though. Some of the 2D character art was reused too much, and occasionally characters were smiling when they shouldn't have been. The voice acting sometimes sounded a little off, there was no option to use Japanese voices and the hand drawn animated cutscenes didn't really seem to fit in. These weaknesses aren't a deal-breaker, though. I still have to go back and finish some side quests, then play Levant's story.

I just had an idea of what Pokemon Ranger could have been...

[ZetaFlare]

When I hear Ryuto's Japanese voice in Mugen Souls, I always think of Makoto. It almost felt that Hiromi Hirata took the exact same approach with those two.

Speaking of, when I first heard Kamui (Arcana Heart) and Mao (Disgaea 3), I actually had no idea Hiromi voiced them too!

FF6 is on iOS.

This is my most favorite game ever. I haven't bought this release yet because it requires iOS 7 (also, why the heck is it 511 MB?), but looking at the still previews on the app store, the character sprites look smudgy/blurry. I hope that they look better in motion. In general, I hope that it's as good for new players as it was when it was released for the SNES, and also I hope that it has some fresh elements for those who have played FF6 already.

Battlefield 4 on PS4.
Ugh, there's still a lot that needs fixing, but it's at least better than a few months ago, during the week long double XP event. Still needs a lot of netcode fixing.
I've been putting off Uncharted 3, though. Gah.

I've been IV breeding some Gen VI stuff on Pokémon Y and dabbling in Bravely Default.

[JNiles]

Finished DanganRonpa and now it's back to Bravely Default.  This game is much bigger than I expected.  Also blew a good chunk of the last 2 months on Pokemon.  I'll go back to Etrian Odyssey Untold when I'm ready.

While it isn't out yet, how bout that Sonic Boom?

I just wish that first trailers to Sonic games would stop using random dubstep songs. :/

[redhairedking]

Does anyone want to play Civ V sometime? I bought it recently in a bundle of Civ games and don't have a whole lot of people to play with right now. I have a week off for spring break in two weeks if anyone wants to play around then

The Wii U has officially outsold the XBOX 360 in Japan.
I guess even the popularity of iM@S has its limits.
