Even the most ardent JRPG fan will baulk at the roughshod simplicity of the game's systems, restricting the game's audience to Japanophile anime fans who can overlook the experiences shortcomings as a videogame and approach it as a cultural curio. That is, a sexist, senseless and ultimately stupid cultural curio.
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.
@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.
anyone still think this is a cool game?
it's a good game ..
at least it's way more fun that to spent all your time like gravemaker lurking in every review of this game just to comment negativly
A lot of hate for JRPG's this gen. I don't have this game but I am going to buy it next month. Just making sure I get Yakuza 4 and Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel first. Also Shift 2 and Motorstorm are also on my to get list. So most likely in the middle of April, I should own this game. I'll decide for myself if it's a good game or not.
western media might as well stop reviewing JRPGs since no sane JRPG lover would even bother to take their reviews seriously. I know i don't and many others as well.
the story, characters, and art direction at least earn this more than a 2/10. this is probably the lowest rated game this site has ever done. and most of their games rated 5/10 or better, i would break in half and throw away before i choose to do it to this one.
i do not get why this site rates this game so low. its like they are just trying to draw hits with ubernegative scores. damn the game is not perfect by any standard, but a 2/10? wtf
