Megadimension Neptunia VII - PlayStation 4

- Those not familiar with the series: This is a turn-based Japanese Role Playing Game with plenty of cute girls. Though, the series is no longer designated with the M-rating, there's still a pretty big dose of fan-service, as niche titles tend to have. The game is fairly light-hearted due to the whacky character interactions, 4th wall-breaking, and other various shenanigans. Overall, the huge cast of characters are likable in their own unique ways. While it is a simple game to get into, and is difficult to get lost, some of the enemies do get quite powerful at certain chapters, as expected. This game also has a variety of new mechanics implemented that previous games in the series did not. Which adds more strategy to the mix. However, if fan-service is a deal-breaker to some, then it would be wise to skip out on this, and most JRPGs/animes in general. But, despite the amount of silliness this series may offer, there's a great amount of content that is witty, which helps it stay fresh. From the likable cast, to the 4th wall-breaking dialogue, this is a great game for JRPG players, and/or anime fans. =========================================================================================================== - Those familiar with the series: Next generation Nep has arrived! Some of the things I really appreciate are the soundtracks. Some of them are just hidden gems. The series has come a long way. Seeing our waifus on next gen is pretty nice too. Well, let's get ready to Nep 'em all up. Also, Neptune is best girl!

If your into anime,manga and jrpg video games you'll enjoy this title. It's not often when I'm satisfied with full retail priced games due to the shady gaming industry. This game however Im so glad I gave this series a shot. It was well worth the full price I payed ($60). This game is also newcomer friendly and you don't need to play the other's to worry about the story, kinda like Disgaea with a focus on comedy. The game actually more turn based kind of JRPG than what it looks like. It has a bit of a ARPG feel because you move around a bit before placing your attacks. Its Turn based with a bit of ARPG mechanics. It works great and it's quite simple really. Please give this game and it's series a try. The cast is great and game is hilarious. I thought the series was lame but it's really enjoyable. You might just become a fan and start collecting the rest of the series.

there's not much I need to say for neptunia who get this, but if you're new to the series, this is not the game to start with you won't understand the story, but you will get the gameplay

Hyperdimension Neptunia is in general, an awesome series of games to play. Whether it's the Re;Birth titles or the absolute originals, it's all very worthwhile. This current game, Megadimension Neptunia Vii, is by far my favorite Neptunia, no, favorite game to date. It takes the love and passion of the four main characters and adds more excitement with a new main character (Uzume Tennouboshi) and mixes things up with the addition of 2 new dimensions to play through. Zero Dimension Neptunia, being the first thing you will play, throwing you from the colorful world of Gamindustri in Hyperdimension, to the beaten down, fallout that is the Gamindustri of Zero Dimension. New dynamic boss fights and multiple styles of gameplay, this is a title to must have for any kind of RPG fan, even more so of the JRPG fans.

So i like to keep my reviews short and to the point, so here it goes. This is the 4th game in the series, and to me it felt it strayed to far away from the things that i liked in the 1st 3. The whole gimmick of the neptune series was that i was making fun if the game industry as a whole in a satirical style, which worked for it. Yes, it did the anime fan service things (ie random semi nude shots or lesbian innuendos) but they kept it to a minimum and relied more on the game gimmick. By the last game it has turned into nothing but fan service. Characters that never want to be apart from each other no matter if they are bathing, no male characters at all, boob conversations left and right. All the characters and turned into one note (granted, excusable in the beginning because it was early, but the 4th game they should have SOME character) that i ended up skipping a lot of the scenes because i really just didnt care about any of the characters. The game system is more or less the same from the last one, with some tweaks here or there. For a ps3 game it was alright, but for a ps4 game and to be this ridgid with all the animations not to mention the story is still told through 2d art characters talking to each other is a bit much. Its sad too, because if you look at some of the nurato games over the top anime action scenes can be done, so when i see a special that looks like it would be alright for a launch ps3 i have to start to wonder. All in all, i beat the game with a feeling of disappointment. If the 3rd was didnt do anything for you, stay away from 4, i think they focused on the worst parts of 3 and just decided to keep going.

MegaNep VII is the best Nep yet! If you're familiar with the series I'd say this is the best yet in the mainline series, if you're not this is a decent starting point as I feel the gameplay is the best here. The Neptunia games are generally very grindy JRPGs, but this one demands a lot less grinding and is much better paced. There's still a lot of reused assets, music, & locations, but the game now moves at a smooth 60fps and what new music it does feature is great. If you're a newbie there may be some references you won't get, but the characters are very likeable and the story, while nothing exceptional, is enjoyable because of the characters. I also highly recommend sticking with the english dub, its great!

It doesn't come with the poster anymore. I bought it new hoping to get the poster but there was nothing but the disc inside. Should have bought a used copy instead

If your a fan of the series this one is a must! Neptunia V as well as rebirth 1, 2, and 3, ran off neptunia V's engine. Neptunia V2 uses a new engine that included a better quality textures, larger maps, as well as for the first time, ALL enemies with in combat voices. Game also includes enhanced lighting on characters, improved particle effects and more. Game took 60 hours to complete and spans across 3 dimensions. Each dimension is big enough to be its own game. It's like having 3 games in 1! Existing characters have improved animations on existing attacks as well as new attacks. New characters are pretty epic too!
