I thought it looked like it might not be as stiff and slow as the other Nep brawlers, which is good. But then I watched some Nier 2, and welp.

I look forward to playing as the Neps in the Nep game that the Neps play in the Nep games.

It's also just kind of slow and things take too long to die, and boss enemies aren't fun to fight. Fate Extella is good though, so they're getting better.

Oh , whoops, I was thinking of the Type Moon logo, not the Tamsoft one. Tamsoft was Onechanbara Z2 and Estival Versus (though that may have been more Marvelous), which are alright.

It's no Platinum game though, let's be real. Also has the problem of bosses not getting staggered at all, and I didn't find the precise timing gimmick of the combos to be that interesting compared to more variable combos from mixing up button strings. Still a fun time even if you're just button mashing, though.

There are plenty worse Neps than Noire.

Uzume is a good Nep, but Orange Heart not so much.

Nep vs Sega reminds me again that I wonder if the Nep games will ever figure out what a reasonable scaling curve is, considering bosses in the apparently normal progression will one shot you and take no damage, and the area they're in contains monsters that you one shot.

I was playing some of Blanc vs Zombies and hoo boy do I hope 4GO improves dramatically on that. The boss enemies are seriously awful to fight.

Also I've never figured out, what is the origin of the running gag of other characters thinking Neptune is hard to say?

Speed runs aren't really a great way to judge how a game plays. But yeah it shouldn't be hard to be better than Nep U or Zombies.

Well I beat the main story. The credits actually rolled early and a number of empty spots in the gallery were filled with the montage it showed. I suppose there's some reward for completing all the missions, but for now I'm happy finishing the story.

I've probably also learned more about tea than I ever wanted to know.


Did you learn that coffee is better? That's the only tea knowledge you need.

Is it just me or do melee characters' parry counters almost always miss except against like giant dogoos due to stopping short on the dash in?

Overall this game has about the level of jank and nonsense enemy scaling that I'd expect of Tamsoft game + Nep game. Not a dealbreaker, but I doubt I'll come back to it after finishing. They did a pretty good job with the visual style in UE4 though, and even the occasional in engine cutscene.

chumbler

Hopefully they fix the parry counter missing 90% of the time.

The greatest flaw of 4GO is that Uzume is not playable.

Really all the sisters can go away with the possible exception of Nep Jr.

Give us an update when you have an opinion on who the best nep is and also that it is Uzume.

(I mean, I'll probably end up getting it even if it isn't, but...)

I don't care for the chug mana potions to spam specials play style you have to use on bosses, but that's a matter of personal taste.

Also the parry counterattack misses all the time which is annoying. Otherwise it's fine.

4GO was not a good game but Nep vs SeHa made up for that, holy moly. The Time Eater system is so cool. Managed to get a normal ending in 8 hours by busting the class system open. It's currently 8 bucks for Steam on Fanatical.

Hey 4GO was okay, as Tamsoft games go.

chumbler
Mar 28, 2010

Main problems I had with 4GO were that the parry counter whiffed most of the time and mana costs were too high/regen too low, so you either take ages to kill things or blow all your money on mana potions. RPG mana pools in brawlers are just a dumb idea generally.

I just thought that a Neptunia ARPG could be cool. Like Diablo with Nep.

4GO is probably the closest you'll get.

Though your idea would of course have to have nepalem.
