Hyperdimension Neptunia + MK2 + V(victory)

Now why would I think you just like pressing X? Can't be because you said it.

Yes, I said spam x. Not press only x. Do you see where you're mistaken yet? Seriously, stop pretending I said things I didn't.

In the original post I was making a comparison to the possible battle styles of the games. In KH there are plenty of times while playing where you can literally only hit x, like farming. There are plenty of battles where you mash x a majority of the time. (Just disabled boss by attacking his weak point? Spam x until he gets up!) And there are plenty of battles where you have to do more than that. And then there are games where you can't ever just mash x, like LotD, because you have to time your attacks. That is the distinction I was making.

What?

Why do you keep saying stuff then saying that you didn't say it a second later? The only thing you're saying that matters in the end is that you like LotD's battle system more than KH, and I can't refute that. But making a comparison between KH, FF and LotD in the first place is fucking stupid because they're two completely different genres with completely different battle systems.

Seriously, comparing the battle systems of a turn based RPG and an action-RPG on the basis of how often you can or need to press a button. Nothing more ridiculous.

I just couldn't sit through it, which baffles me.. since I could torture myself enough to play through Unlimited SaGa and other crappy games.

I heard the second one was a huge improvement, though. Is this true? Also, am I being too harsh on the first one?

I just finished my first playthrough of the second game. I really enjoyed it, and I do think it was a huge improvement on the first, especially with respect to the battle system. I was not a fan of the battle system in the first, either, but I didn't quite find it tedious enough to outweigh the fun storyline - but I'm a huge JRPG fan and I love lighthearted games so I found it adorable and humorous.

Basically, what I felt was that the second is comparable as far as storyline goes but the battle's better and the share system is slightly less annoying (although not hugely improved). There is a new option after you pass a certain point in the game where you can do a coliseum battle thing for shares, and they add lots of quests as the story progresses, so you don't end up spamming the same 3 quests like you did in the last. It's possible to mess up your shares for the playthrough if you're not paying attention, but it's pretty hard to do (and I'm not sure it's completely irreversible, although it seems so as far as I can tell.)

The world map is also a lot more convenient. It's really easy to move between the different worlds - no more making the planet near the one you're on.

The story does seem a little bit inconsistent with the first. That didn't bother me too much, but it might bother some people. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to platinum before I moved on, but I got distracted by Ninokuni.

I think the story is inconsistent because it takes game in a parallel universe?

And I love my JRPGs, but something about Neptunia just turned me off.. maybe I'll come back to it later. Or maybe I played it too close to finishing Ar Tonelico 3, which was disappointing for me.

In effect, the story is somewhere between, really. It may be a parallel universe, but everything in the past game (events, relationships, and such) is exactly the same in this game except the few aspects that don't fit with the new story. So the 'parallel universe' thing kind of just seemed like an easy way to get around inconsistencies.

Why do you keep saying stuff then saying that you didn't say it a second later?

It only seems that way because you have the reading comprehension of a goat. I said x, you think I said y. That's pretty much it. Apparently this is too hard for you to understand.

The only thing you're saying that matters in the end is that you like LotD's battle system more than KH, and I can't refute that.

More examples of horrible reading comprehension. I do love LotD's battle system, but I like KHs more. Where did you see me say I prefer LotD's battle system? I'll give you a hint; it's not in any of my posts because you imagined me saying it, just like everything else.

Seriously, comparing the battle systems of a turn based RPG and an action-RPG on the basis of how often you can or need to press a button. Nothing more ridiculous.

Continuing to attack my statement because you think it means something else is more ridiculous, frankly. There is nothing wrong with making that type of comparison, especially since I wasn't trying to support some type of argument. (Never mind the fact that LotD is much more interactive than a simple turn-based attack system.) It was just a god damn observation. Why you have to get your panties in a bunch is beyond me.

Regardless, I'm done with derailing this thread because people have to nitpick tiny details for no reason, and then be wrong anyway. And unlike you, I'm not going to come back into the thread after you eventually reply to continue arguing with you after I say I'm done.

**Elcura** · 2012-01-13 11:49

It can't really be more obvious if you say x, I hear x, yet you insist you didn't say it and said something else. Whatever.

You say you weren't supporting the argument after you supported it, you say things then say you didn't over again and that's just an observation? Sure it is. Also, it's still ridiculous. But hey, I'll be happy to see you not replying any more, so that's a plus.

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-01-13 15:57

Take the bitching elsewhere now.

**Charismatic** · 2012-01-13 16:53

Where can they take it IC? Maybe you should make a bitching thread because I would love to see this continue and see Deadgye squirm about.

**Rokku** · 2012-01-15 11:22

Are we really doing the KH thing about button mashing again?

**Charismatic** · 2012-01-15 11:26

Again? This is where it all started.

Oh, I know. I just kind of thought maybe we were done with it all a couple months ago.

**Noobta** · 2012-04-09 23:17

Miko Blanc do want

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-04-09 23:18

Changed titled. Probably better to keep in one thread since Mk2 never seemed that active to make another.

**Rokku** · 2012-04-11 07:59

I don't know, is there really anything left to do with this IP? Aside from trying to make an actual story that people might care about, all I can really imagine is this being yet another rehash of the same story with more fanservice.
