A neat central concept does nothing to hide the fact that this is yet another lazy and boring RPG from Idea Factory. There’s zero inspiration in the gameplay and even less than that in the presentation and world design.
Noisy Pixel Explores the History of Hyperdimension Neptunia in Video Series focusing on the game's inception in Japan and its release in the west on PS3.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Console wars have been around pretty much since the dawn of videogames, but the Hyperdimension Neptunia series makes light of these arguments by personifying consoles and their manufacturers as cute goddesses and has them battle it out for supremacy. It proved to be a sleeper hit for publisher Compile Heart, who after an initially shaky start with the first entry transformed the series into its most compelling franchise."
I (Robin Ek, TGG) just spotted a super sexy cosplay of Neptune from "Hyperdimension Neptunia". Yes, I think it's safe to say that Mikki Monster nailed her Neptune cosplay like a boss.
Since you got the interview, may one drop you a few interview questions?
And yet most of them don't even work out, so I am yet to know the secret how they manage to stay in shape xD
@Simon_the_sorcerer "Since you got the interview, may one drop you a few interview questions?"
- Sure =) You could drop the questions here on the post itself.
"It lacks even a basic level of strategy or customisation."
and that's how i know that the reviewer hasn't played the game ..
i wonder how people can comes at neptunia expecting a serious story with a setting like that .
Doesn't even matter to me what people like this have to say.
I got it. It sold out on NIS so that means people bought it. Which means more NIS games will be released in the US. = I win.
ouch...the latest game that's added to my favorites recieved such low score T_T...
More JRPG hate propaganda by the western media... The same media that gives inflated scores to even crappy WRPGs.
If you look in some of the Hyperdimension Neptunia forums, there are a lot of people who are actually enjoying this game.
But if anyone wants to be a sheep and base their purchasing decisions on reviews like this, that's fine with me.
Lol, to the person who reviewed this game...WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? You aren't a proper reviewer, nor do you know what makes a real RPG. Games like HyperDimension, Crossedge, Disgaea, and Ar Tonelico can't be played by simple minded buffoons, such as yourself. They offer tons of character customization, synthesis, intuitive and strategical battle systems, and tons of replay value. But hey, keep playing your damn First person shooters and third person shooters that only have little tidbits of RPG elements...AND CALLING IT A REAL RPG. Obviously, if you don't have a gun, you won't enjoy it.
