Just a PSA on this: I recently tried this with Demon Gaze Extra and noticed that after cancelling two of the same item, I still had sales tax for all 3 copes on the order instead of just 1.  It works properly if you add 2 of a different game or platform at the same price.

 

In my experience the tax will adjust properly when the game ships

Appreciate those who answered my previous q's regarding Root Letter: Last Answer.  Now finished the game.  Was short but one of the better VN experiences in recent memory.  Translation wasn't perfect and made some of the argument-building scenes frustrating.  Regardless, I particularly enjoyed how down-to-earth everything was while giving a flavor of a more rural community in Japan.  Was refreshing after previously playing an awful VN (world is ended).

 

Anyone have recommendations for or against two vn's in the current psn sale:  428: Shibuya Scramble or Worldend Syndrome?

I highly recommend 428 it's one of the best VN I've played. Haven't played World End Syndrome but it looks interesting.

Just curious but did anyone else get that email from Sony detailing how much time they've spent playing games over the course of the year? I wanna see how I stack up to others, and who played the most niche games here.

 

920 hours

23 games

 

1. Persona 5 - 170 hours

2. Tales of Berseria - 99 hours

3. Dragon Quest Heroes II - 95 hours

 

502 trophies

So, I keep seeing new dungeon crawlers announced for vita and getting excited until I find they have yet another weird creepy sex mechanic for no reason.

 

Are there any good vita dungeon crawlers that *don't* also randomly have spanking or make you breed with your party members or lick them or...just...

 

I want to take turns stabbing things in a dungeon that shouldn't end up so weird.

I keep getting excited for vita games with weird sex mechanics only to find they have dungeon crawling gameplay for no reason.

Did anyone mention pre-orders are up for Yakuza 6 After Hours on Amazon? Because they are.

 

https://www.amazon.c...1d7c031830b34cc

 

That's nice but no 20% off is a big bleh. I do want that edition though.

 

Prime discount is showing for me as of today

Unless you are in it for trophies or something you are fine to skip the first one. The second is better in basically every way.

Thanks, not worried about trophies. I'm def leaning towards skipping 1 because I don't want to get burned out and enjoy 2 less.

 

While Portable is worth playing for Hamuko, it's the worst version of P3. FES is definitive. If you've got a PS2/PS3, definitely play that version first.

FES has always looked more appealing to me, The cutscenes and emoting 3d models seem like a big sacrifice to make. I feel like the shortcomings of P3's combat system could just be mitigated by playing on a lower difficulty? Not really going into 3 for the combat since I doubt it's as refined as P5's. Just interested in the characters/story mostly.

Question for anyone who's played both Dragon Quest Heroes games:

 

Will I miss out on anything if I skip the first title? Or like most musou games does the sequel render the first obsolete?

 

Own them both and got an itch to start one of them, if the 2nd is nothing but improvement I'm OK with just writing off the first because time is valuable and backlogs and etc...

 

 

Also thanks to everyone who advised me it was OK to play Persona 5 without having played the previous games. Beat it and loved it. Definitely plan on playing 4 (golden) and maybe 3 (portable?) at some point.

No. While there are nods/references to past games, they are completely stand alone to each other until a Crossover Fighting Game happens. (Arena/Ultimax/Q) :P

 

You can play Persona 5 without a problem. 

 

 

In order not needed. For example, I, fairly green when it came to JRPGs, started P3, got about halfway in and petered out. Played all of P4 Golden (multiple times) then went back to P3 Portable. I don't think that playing through P4G in any way affected my enjoyment of P3P.
 

The only caveat that I would give is that P3P, P4G, and P5 have some 'quality of life' improvements that are lacking in P3, P3:FES, and vanilla P4. If you play P5 and then go back to those, you might have some slight gameplay frustrations, but story-wise, you'll be fine.  If the personas in your backlog are P3P and P4G, you'll have no problem whatsoever.

 

 

Actually, I advise against playing the older Persona games if you want to give P5 a try. Mainly because they will seem dated, and it'll be a lot of the same battles again and again and you'll tire of it easily. Also, I mentioned this before but I played P4 right after I beat P3 and I hated it. The biggest reason I because I really missed my old teammates in P3, and hated the ones in P4. It'll be hard to let go of older characters and get attached to new ones after spending a hundred hours with them.

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

I think I will just jump right into 5. If I really enjoy it then I'll go back to 3&4 someday.

I had to argue with the GS employee today which was fun. I did in an store hold for a new copy of attack on titan, he brought me a used one with no cover art and asked if it was okay. I said no, I want the new copy, he said they don't have any.

 

I took my phone out and showed him they showed stock on the app as did every other gamestop in the area, he grudgingly opened the drawer that had at least 5 new copies and gave me one.

 

I know they have qoutas and what not to meet but damn that's annoying.
