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

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.

>An update on PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita
https://archive.ph/qakR1
<After nearly two decades of supporting the PS3 console generation, we wanted to let you know we will be closing the PlayStation Store on PS3, as well as on PS Vita. PlayStation Store on PS3 will close in select markets starting this year, followed by global closures for PS3 and PS Vita next year. That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once the PlayStation Store closes on these devices. To ease the transition, players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future. 
<As the PlayStation Store continues to evolve to support modern commerce systems, including updated payment processing standards, PS3 and PS Vita are no longer able to support these updates at the level required. As a result, we will need to close PlayStation Store on these devices in the timeframes as follows:
- Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026.
- Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern countries – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting late 2026.
- In all other countries, PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in July 2027.
<We know this news may be disa

Do you guys have a version of hShop with equivalent functionality?
I'd hate to see all those risque and off-the-wall otaku games get flushed down the drain, they were the last of an era.

>>10569
>Do you guys have a version of hShop with equivalent functionality?
PKGj and NPS

>>10569
NoPayStation is different from hShop in that it's not a server that hosts actual content and it's basically just a database of direct download links for official PSN servers along with decryption keys. Also it doesn't have everything, only hShop gets that privilege due to Nintoddler autism.
If we can trust "players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future", NPS should be functional for the near future as well, but no new content will be added to it after the official store "shuts down".
The priority for the "preservation community" should be buying (digital-only) content and contributing it to NPS. But talk is cheap, and I myself won't be doing that because I don't have a job and all.

Does anyone here not just pirate it all? Thats how I did it and always will. I almost bought the SvS pre-order, so glad I didn't.

I'm pretty sure the Russian Unifag here is well acquainted with it. I on the other hand, I guess I just don't quite have the heart for it. In my view something that interests me should get my money and things that don't should just be ignored anyway. It probably helps that I only recently started using PC as a gaming platform and have played on Nintendo consoles for most of my life.

>>10582
I'm a default buyfag, but I do also have a set of rules that I feel give me the "privledge" to pirate some games. Most of these boil down to my being able to pirate a game if it's ever seen a "free", no-strings-attached, no-limited-free-weekend, release. Or if the game was a digital-only release on a device who's online store no longer exists, like PSP Minis and Wiiware. I mostly look at this as a way that allows me to be more selective in which games I spend money on and take up space on my shelf. For example, with the original Tomb Raider trilogy getting a free release on EGS over a month ago, I don't have to spend any time or money hunting those games down as I now have the "right" to pirate them, and can instead spend that money on looking for and buying things like Gundam Breaker 3 or Kuro no Danshou.

I have the ability to pirate, my 3DS and Vita are both softmodded, I even primarily pirate anime, I just don't like defaulting to it for games (mostly because I prefer going out of my to get things physically more than anything, it's hard for me to justify getting something digitally, even for cheap/free)

They are all gone now, she just did not really appeal to me. Financier was better.
Sad indeed.

>>10582
I know it is not what you are asking but I barely used to do it, I think the first pirated game I had was Halo PC and that was literally given to me on a USB after a few days at secondary school.
I started pirating a lot more within the last six or so years and I mostly go for games where the devs behind it left long ago or remakes. Kiseki too, since that stopped being worth my money a while ago. I already do not buy many new games so I figured I might as well save a little extra.
For Nep stuff, I pirated the JP versions of the games I bought and the EN versions of everything from SvS. I would have been a lot more disappointed in it had I shelled out.

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.

So now that I'm finally done with Tokyo Clanpool here, where to begin? Between the large maps, movement app gimmicks, the pseudo-Persona system (Gadgettia) and class change system, I think this game tried to be a culmination of Compile Heart's DRPG efforts on the Vita, and while I still feel it did serviceably, I ultimately came away somewhat disappointed compared to my initial impressions.
Let's start with the gameplay itself. There are seven dungeons of about 6-10 floors each, plus a postgame dungeon with 10 floors. All in all, this totals up to about 66 floors worth of dungeon crawling. So the game is a bit on the short side. Encounter rates are on the high side throughout the dungeon, with your only respite being an app which lasts only 50 steps per use and costs a minimum of 6% battery power. Speaking of, part of the game is about managing your DigiApp battery power since all your apps including your movement options rely on it. There are designated points throughout the dungeons which recharge your battery power by 100%, and it can store up to 999%, but there are also consumable items which recharge it by 50 and 100%. All in all, I never at any point felt like I was in any danger of running out of battery power. The movement options themselves are tunneling through walls, floating in the air, and going underwater. The first is the best used as you need it to advance and create sho

Moving to the non-gameplay elements, I think probably the biggest disappointment from this game for me was the lack of characterization for ANYONE. Despite the smaller cast, barely anyone is given any time to be fleshed out. There is only one side event per character and two fanservice events which give you the idol and bath CGs and that's it. As a result, the characters never really get the opportunity to feel like more than mere set pieces. For example, Natsume's profile lists her as being a giant fangirl for Chim the Garden Eel and her character event is about hugging a body pillow of him and then dreaming him, but then that's it. Chim is LITERALLY NEVER brought up again. Who even is he and why is he so popular? Why is Natsume such a fangirl for him? Questions that go completely unanswered. Another example; Hotaru's side event reveals that her parents are famous wrestlers and part of her reasons for being so withdrawn, insecure and lacking in confidence is that she's a pipsqueak who can't live up to her family's legacy despite really wanting to. And that's the entire extent to which this part of her is explored. Fuck, I wanted to see Luchador Hotaru or fucking something. Have an arc where she grows into the role in her own way and then have her do the Tombstone on the final boss or something. But no, we get nothing

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.

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.

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.

>>8764
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

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.
