Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth1 – First Impressions

by 4 Comments

sample-8d36652fcd5fb4e0b34094db1e4ab44c

Back in 2010, Compile Heart created a roleplaying game based on the console wars with video game consoles personified as cute girls in a game called Hyperdimension Neptunia (超次元ゲイムネプチューヌ). While it was an interesting concept, Idea Factory managed to mess it up. The first game shows this with obvious gamebreaking bugs, poor graphics for a PS3 game, difficulties trying to heal your characters among other things. They eventually realized how unfinished the first game was, so they remade it for the Vita. Since I received the game three weeks ago, I want to share my first impressions. (Image Source)

Last Saturday, Pokémon X and Y has finally released everywhere. While I didn’t look at most of the press releases on some of the new features in this game, I was certainly excited.

Hyperdimension Neptunia the Animation – Episode 1 – What it means to be a Goddess

I wish I can play video games all they long, but can't. :p
I wish I can play video games all they long, but can’t. :p

For a long time, video games played a big part of my life because of the escapist element coupled with interaction. Of course, somebody came up with a brilliant idea to make a video game personifying the console wars such as the battle between the big three (Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft) or the one that happened in the 90s between the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis.

Now, these consoles are personified as cute girls in a video game titled Hyperdimension Neptunia, which is made by Compile Heart and Idea Factory. While Idea Factory has a bad reputation for making not so good games (although Monster Monpiece was enjoyable), at least their installments to their franchise improved on their gameplay and story. From that, we have the Anime, which everyone waited for.

Initially, I wasn’t going to watch this, but I couldn’t resist the urge since I enjoy magical girl shows. This time, we have yet another alternate world in Fate series, but with a magical girl twist as Illya becomes one. (Image Source)

From the last season, we saw the girls enjoying each other as they make memories and most importantly, show their passion for the things that they enjoy doing. Now, Fuu wants to take it to another level, hence being “more aggressive.”

Genkai Totsuki Monster Monpiece – First Impressions – A Cute and Fanservicy Monster Girl Trading Card Game

Since there is no Monster Monpiece art, here is the next best thing...
Since there is no Monster Monpiece fan art, here is the next best thing…

For a while now, there has been a good amount of criticism surrounding Idea Factory/Compile Heart games. They have a bad reputation of having overly complicated gameplay, needless grinding among other things. While the first Neptunia game had a lot of bugs, at least I heard that they improved the gameplay in the sequels. Now with the Playstation Vita, I think they kind of learned their lesson with Genkai Totsuki Monster Monpiece (限界凸騎モンスターモンピース, lit: Unlikely Knight: Monster Monpiece), which sold over 50,000 in retail and download. With that, I would like to share some experiences of playing it after getting through the first Chapter and a part of the next one. (Image Source)

This is just the beginning.

I’m a year late to the party, but I’m not going to miss out on this for any longer.

And yes, I was on vacation during the past two days. This can explain the inactivity because wireless Internet wasn’t free. Since I am back, its time to catch up.

This is what I was doing during Winter Break: Playing Video Games and Studying Japanese.

Since I got so many games for Christmas and played with them for so many hours that I totally forgot to write a Winter Preview.  So, it wouldn’t hurt to share what I plan to watch a few days late.

As always, I start with a few shows before tacking on additional ones.
