Question for Xilef and Zen by the way;
Are the Hyperdimension Neptunia ReBirth games any good? Because all three are on sale on PSN, and I'm thinking of buying them to increase my Vita library, despite not really knowing much about the series...
On steam they're getting pretty much universal praise. But they're not without faults.
The ReBirth games are remakes of the original trilogy - because the original trilogy was incredibly shit. They did not expect the first game to be a success, so they never wrote the story with sequels in mind and as a result the second game disregards the events of the first game, which pissed me off.
The 3rd game has one of the worst endings I've ever seen in a video game. 100% mean that.
The ReBirth games are pretty much gameplay > characters > story. They are very fun RPGs, there's a lot to do and collect and power up and customise. The characters are pretty much anime moe stereotypes. Story is quite insane.
The comedy is meh. I'd describe the type of humour as
American humour, or
10-year old child humour for international English speakers. There are some oppai jokes every now and then, it's expected from Japan at this point.
Considering comedy games are usually dog-shit, these are on the better end of the scale.
