Honestly I loved 4GO in all its glitchy glory. I never tried the Canuck RPG but I heard it wasn't bad.

>You do realize that both of the game's you're posting about are rereleases, right? 
Yes, but I don't see how that affects my point. If anything, it only reinforces it. If it were a new game versus a rerelease, you may have had a point.
>That's technically always been the case.
Point is, until a decade ago these games weren't being barred from platforms constantly and thus could compete on a more-or-less even playing field, and did fairly well. Now the playing field is far from even and we see just how much not being on the big platforms affects sales.
>It's to force you into a position that you either buy their trash or check out from the industry altogether.
And unfortunately I am very much on the verge of that. The number of releases I deem worth supporting decreases every year. Sure, I could stick to just playing the old games I already have, but that's not so different from just throwing in the towel, is it?
>where the guy loses it and starts having an autistic fit when I suggested talking about and buying games released on platforms aside from Steam
This wouldn't be me; I STILL do not have a Steam account and all my PC games are from GOG or JAST. But DLSite is a site I hesitate to use for a few reasons, chief among them the PlayDRM and the lack of Paypal support. I suppose I can't really blame them for the latter since they had enough issues just keeping credit card support, but PlayDRM is that same type of awful activation-based DRM that Johren uses and I hate it, and most of DLSite's games have it including LoveR Kiss Endless Memories despite the game being DRM-free on GOG. An utterly baffling decision. Then there's DMM which just outright refuses to take my gaijin money.

>>10445
>this it actually a bit of a slippery slope fallacy
I have seen enough over the past decade in both gaming and politics-related matters to know that "slippery slope" is not a fallacy but reality.
>Yeah, Lollipop Chainsaw sold better. So did Neptunia VII which was a smash hit. Did Compa start a full-scale Neptunia conveyor belt afterwards? No, they did not, they used VII money to make more games that were different from Neptunia.
The difference is that back then their games weren't getting constantly censored and banned from markets. Getting censored or having a release on a major platform canceled for censorship-related reasons tends to flip a switch in Japanese publishers' heads that makes them all default to global/wider audience. You saw it happen to Compile Heart, you saw it happen to Marvelous, you saw it happen to D3P, and if what that poster up there is saying >>10385 is true, it just happened to Aquaplus because Dungeon Travelers got banned from Steam. Yes, Dragami using the money to keep funding LoveR/Reco Love is ideal, but after seeing the direction literally EVERY other otaku developer took, can you blame me for being cynical?

No, and I see your point now. I can get the meter close to the threshold, but she always leaves right before I can reach it. This happens whether I choose Cute or Excite responses. There's still a little more room for experimentation, but I haven't had any luck so far. Maybe there's some perk I can get from the Photo Club that reduces embarrassment buildup that might make it easier.

My problem is that all sessions are timed and there isn't really much room to be able to experiment without botching the session. I just wish there was a more controlled environment where I could see what works and what doesn't, a "training mode" of sorts, especially since I'm largely new to photography sims (only prior experience is Pokemon Snap which is very different and more like a rail shooter). I suppose I could just repeatedly reset, but you'd still have to go through a conversation first.

>>10322
To a developer, that unfortunately still means forking libraries and potentially compilers which pull this shit if the devs don't listen to your complaints.
I'm not saying this to argue against supporting Windows 7, mind you. I'm bringing it up because there's something I want to work on which I'd like to support W7 out of the box, even if it means avoiding libraries whenever possible and potentially using a weird compiler for Windows builds. It's just something you have to do very intentionally, if that makes sense.
>>10323
I mean, I get why people do it. Windows 7 is a pretty comfy operating system, and unfortunately it's only competition is different implementations of a 70s timesharing OS with a graphical environment awkwardly pasted overtop of it (some of which are locked-down phone OSes). That 70s timesharing OS stuck around for a reason and has real advantages, but they aren't advantages which its graphical environments and much of its software nowadays even try to lean into. Actual innovation in the field of OS design is so ridiculously dead that simply riffing off ideas from other 70s/90s OSes is more creative than the slop 99% of OS developers make.

There's an item which lets you raise your level limit from the base 99 (worth it as enemies in the final dungeons go well past 100), and I just found out that if you hit the current cap, any EXP you get is banked so that when you raise the cap, it all applies at once. A nice little bit of QOL there since I'm an autist who hates "wasted" EXP and I feel this isn't addressed often enough in JRPGs.

Seeing the trailer makes me wonder why they bother adding zombies in the title when they barely even seem to play an important part in it

>>299
Probably because Zombies are the in thing.

It's pretty old now. Excellent manga though.

As for zombies, they're just a template enemy filling in for an antagonist gap. They could have been anything, zombies are just a hip new (old) trend.

I'm pretty cool with who we have right now. Fixing this to get all this content back on the market.

New magazine spread + (crudely) AI-translated English version.
Evidently they're trying to bring back the create-a-Processor system from the original Victory, but in a degraded form that only lets you change color.
Part of me wonders if this is in lieu of a Processor equipment system like we used to have. SvS and GMRE did not let you change processors and it's likely that this will be the same, there's just going to be one unified processor set for all characters. This would also mean you can forget about them adding the old processor outfits as DLC let alone anything like Black Sister's Next-Gen Cradle.

>>10304
I've already made it clear in the other thread what I think of this and I'll just add here how fitting it is that the one to excitedly reveal this information is a braindead zoomer who's probably happy that Compa is going to suck off his favorite gachashit.
I simply cannot stress enough how much I despise modern """"""""otaku"""""""" culture.

>>10317
For reference, the original Victory create-a-Processor system let you make stuff like pic related (NSFW notice).
I don't know if Compile Heart themselves are disavowing content like this (it certainly seems like they are with how tame even their promotional art is now) or if Sony and Nintendo are more actively policing UGC outside of their own games, but I can only see the more limited creative options as a likely attempt to prevent people from making stuff like this again.

Now that I think about it, Mirai isn't in the crossover game and she will never meet Uni, which would be the single best crossover interaction Neptunia could possibly have. Fuck my life.

There is not much you can realistically do unless you want to go Killdozer route but that would have to be after they take your stuff and after they stop watching you, I guess.
>lolicon is morally if not literally equivalent to CP
A lot of them consider lolicon content to be worse, somehow. Maybe they are just saying that to "win" the argument. That said it could also be paedophiles trying to make themselves look better since that is awfully common these days.

my second ps vita came in! thankfully, it's in decent condition. it's definitely preferable to my old one, that one looks like someone chewed on it...
it's the model 2000 this time, i already don't really care about oled vs lcd, and it doesn't help that the screen on the 1000 model was starting to burn out and yellow in places (though as an aside, playing games on the vita did make me appreciate oled a bit more; it easily has the best looking version of jet set radio, and it wouldn't surprise me if games like mary skelter were made with the screen in mind, i noticed it likes to contrast neons with blacks a lot).
speaking of, i got it in black + pink, because it reminded me of mary skelter, though i remember i was going back and forth on looking for one in white or white + blue, my vita case is miku-themed, so it would've fit better...
transferring the memory card over was also easier than i would've thought, though i think i have to reinstall homebrew on the 2000, none of the stuff i homebrew'd onto the memory card works. i'm hoping that's not too strenuous of a process.
i'm planning on just selling off the model 1000 (though i feel kind of bad, essentially selling off thoroughly used goods for someone else to deal with), but i need the money. i'm hoping i can get project diva and katamari after.
i'm also thinking about giving re;birth 1 and 2 another shot. i originally got into playstation partially for neptunia, but ended up feeling lukewarm towards re;birth 1, and the

<The story-select menu likely defaults to Hacker's Memory because this compilation actually was aimed towards people who played Cyber Sleuth first, at least initially (and the subsequent Switch and PC ports did nothing to change this). This game's history is a bit of a mess, but to break it down.....
<Cyber Sleuth releases on the Vita in Japan.
<Sony prematurely brushes the Vita off as a dead system in the west, causing Cyber Sleuth to be ported to the PS4 when it got localized (there was still a Vita localization, but it was digital-only). For a time, this PS4 port would be exclusive outside of Japan.
<Hacker's Memory is released in Japan for the PS4 and Vita, with Cyber Sleuth included as a compilation. With this, Japan gets the PS4 version of Cyber Sleuth for the first time, and players of the original Vita Cyber Sleuth could use cloud saving to transfer their old data (and the whole compilation comes off being geared towards those veteran players as a result).

Shame this board died, and shame Nep as a franchise died. Meganep was perfect, and they decided to sit on it with so many spinoffs. I really enjoyed Sisters Vs Sisters for the geimuplay, but the story was lackluster, and disappointing.

posted this in the other thread, but wanted to talk more about it here.
one of the reasons i was procrastinating so hard on neptunia was just that i only had 1 and 2 digitally, and only having games digitally never sits right with me.
for some reason, i was under the impression these games were difficult to get physically; i don't know where i got that idea from, if anything, everything i have here was far cheaper than i was expecting...
in addition to the main games, i also got action u (i feel like the vita's kind of perfect for simple hack-and-slash games, and i remember being told that this one's basically "senran but with neps") and sega hard girls (this one feels like mandatory viewing as a maybe former huge sega fan). i really do not care about the other spinoffs, though.

>>8503
I gotta wonder how these games are releasing like this, did Nintendo refuse digital but not physical? I'd assume that any game card would need to be authorized by Nintendo, so I gotta wonder where the double standard comes from.

>>8764
Nintendo Of America vs Nintendo Of Asia (English)/Japan (Source of the Asian version). That's it, it's that simple.

https://www.gematsu.com/2025/11/eastasiasoft-launches-online-store-alongside-american-subsidiary

Eastasiasoft just announced they're opening their own online storefront as well as an American publishing branch. They may start selling these games through their American branch to make them easier to purchase since they don't have to go through PlayAsia. Additionally, they're teasing the idea of selling physical PC games, which may be how they intend to distribute an uncensored version of Tokyo Clanpool since that game got screwed over by both Steam and GOG. At the least, they'll probably host the uncensor patch they've been holding onto through this storefront.

Nintendo is pushing significantly different publishing standards for Japanese/Asian SKUs and global SKUs. The Neptunia Re;Birth games were cleared for a Japanese/Asian release but not for a release in the west. This game, Brave X Junction (second pic related), was also similarly release in the Japanese eshop but denied a western release with the reasoning laid out by the publisher as a semi-joke comic. This game released globally without issues on both Steam and Playstation (it's rated 7+ in Europe); only Nintendo is this restrictive with this reasoning. They've gone as far as to

>>7784 (OP) 
Now they're releasing Hyperdevotion Noire. Worth noting that this one wasn't "officially" and directly blocked from a western release like the Re;Births were. Idea Factory International likely just saw how the Re;Births and Neptunia Riders fared and decided it wasn't worth trying. Which brings the question of just how many games there are like this, that weren't ACTUALLY blocked, but the publisher saw how hopeless the situation was and decided not to bother. Like the recent Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu Double Pack released last month which has yet to show any sign of being picked up for a western release despite the main Chaos;Head games being on Switch.

Turns out the speculation about them starting their own store to sell PC physicals was true. Tokyo Clanpool is now being distributed through a special edition USB stick, completely uncensored, in a collector's box limited to 1000 copies.
Lo behold, the extent one must go to release a Vita game in 2020+6.

https://shop.eastasiasoft.com/products/tokyo-clanpool-limited-edition-pc?variant=47988618330352

If you already bought the GOG version, they now offer an uncensor patch for that on their site as well.

https://www.eastasiasoft.com/tc/TokyoClanpool_PC_Patch.zip

I must say, though this took long enough to come to fruition, I respect Joshua French and Eastasiasoft's dedication here. It would've been easy to just leave this at the GOG patch, but they went the extra mile. And maybe, just maybe, this may be the way forward since every digital storefront is so up their own fucking asses now.
