According to the KS Rewards:
Every copy will come with the soundtrack. And if you add $20, you can get these songs on the vynil.
I saw that part, but I'm wondering if those the only original songs.

Hmmm. I think my time with Valhalla Knights 3 has come to an end. While I only need a couple more trophies, it's become abundantly clear one of them would require a massive amount of grinding. To make matters worse, I could technically just 'buy' it with DLC, which pisses me off to no end. (it's a 'title collector' type trophy, you need 70% of them, but some are very time consuming -- but enough are buyable via dlc that I could get the trophy).
Final Verdict --
Looks budget. Plays budget too, but is actually really fun in a lot of ways. it's nice to have a team of 7 and just level them up, switch classes, level up some more.
The fanservice stuff people made a fuss about is completely optional. You can also court men, though that isn't ever mentioned. There isn't a knee rubbing game for that, but you can still take them to the hotel, etc. Honestly, overall, a very very minor (and skippable) part of the game.
Worst sin, by far, is a complete and utter lack of respect for the players time. You need to walk everywhere. Slowly. There are some very limited warps in the game, but there need to be dozens more locations to jump to. A dungeon level might have 10 rooms, 3 of them might have enemies, with long hallways between everything... you'll spend more time running around than anything else. There is no sprint button, but you can dash attack (hit square, then time X to attack) which means you commit that stupidity to muscle memory just to get from a to b a few seconds quicker.
The fact that it was still fun despite the tedium and budget feel is borderline amazing. If the designers cut all tunnels and running down considerable (like, I'd want to sprint at 3x the speed and have warps to every zone) I could recommend the game. As it is, it's a bit too tedious unless you really just want a nice, mindless grinding game [which is actually what I was in the mood for].
They could have had something here. But it's pretty clear they didn't respect my time. And worse, they then have dlc to skip the grind for the final trophy... which just pisses me off.
I'm glad I bought it. I'm glad I played it. I'm glad I'm done it.

From the latest XSEED teaser
Going all out before E3 it seems
EDIT: It could also be Senran Kagura. Those bastards

Its alive! This is great.
nice review , I was wondering how much of the horribleness of this game was real and how much was just a GAF hyperbole. Thanks for this , I now can buy the game without fear of not knowing what to expect.
I said realistic, not crazy blind optimist! XD
I've always been the craziest blind optimist on GAF, but everyone thinks I'm crazy.
No dreams, one or two of those could even be 2015 titles, if sen 1 releases this year or early next year sen 2 could be a 2016 game, otherwis it's probably a 2017 game.
Was thinking I'd be too optimistic hoping to see Sen this year seeing how it wasn't even properly announced yet. It'd be awesome if it does.
Trails of cold steel localization is probably going to be announced very soon, so if there are no problems, the localization is not still early and there are no reasons to wait for the release i think it could be possible to see it at the end of the year or early 2016.

People not accepting that a game can be localized can be realistic too :V

Where my Xanadu Next at?
Where my Corpse Party PC at?
Oh yeah sure, go ahead, forget about the new Ys, let's all jump into the animu looking games.
We've seen nothing of the new Ys as far as I know. It could end up looking just as 'animu'

Why would you think Ys won't look "animu"? I mean

My backlog is just terrible. Still haven't finished Demon Gaze which I bought in like January. Ugh.
Ys is very very anime

People talking about things looking animu usually have no clue. At all.
And of course the moment I want to order Steins;Gate amazon is out of stock. Meh. Is the physical version the same throughout the EU, meaning if I order from France I'll still get english packaging?

Oh I am well aware of that, it was anime since day 1.
...and by day 1 I mean since the 80s :V

I'm assuming that's the case, but so far I haven't heard anyhing since I don't think people got copies from amazon.fr or .es yet.
JP PS Store has a nice PS4 theme for the 1st anniversary of the Arcade Archives. From what i understand, it's free if you own an Arcade Archives game.

Last night I finally bought my Ps4! Currently I hace PS+ games since feb 2014, ACiv Black Flag and PES 2015. I'm planning to ver GTA V and Battlefield 4 to hold until Arkham Knight is Out.
I'm pretty happy with it, but I have a question maybe you can help me with. My psn account is already on my friend's ps4, and set as primary, so my ps4 is set to secondary. The question is, which functionality do I lose? Can I still remote play?

Anyone playing Vitamin Z on the Vita? It's a pretty fun free to play game that just came out.

Oh man a Tropico 5 demo sounds great. The demo for Tropico 3 was huge.
I need to buy that someday. ):

It is really nice to see Freedom Wars, LBP Vita and SSD do so well with that big flash sale; many must have bought the games when they were 5 bucks and I can't blame them, that was an amazing deal for three awesome games
! Also nice to know that Shovel Knight sold well on Vita, as the game is such a great fit on the platform. Trone Bonne a huge hit on the PS Classic's side of things is nice too, as it shows Capcom that 'Hay! We want more Legends games on Sony consoles Capcom! Can you please bring Legends 1 and 2 to PSN?". And that message is one I really hope goes through; would love to finally try out those two games.
RIP SAO:HF. You fought well.

Great to see that Freedom Wars, SSD, Shovel Knight and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne did well.

I don't understand? Super Stardust Delta isn't on that list.
It's got issues, but... yeah, I can't deny I had fun with it. I've got about 80 hours in it. I just really, really wish they played their own game; some minor tweaks would have made it so much better (more quick travel, sprint button, etc, etc). And of course, they deserve a kick in the ass for making grind trophies that can be bought with dlc, just because that's low. But... still, definitely got my money's worth out of it.
I plan on trying it, just not sure when. I like dual stick shooters though this looks like you're fixed in place? Could be fun.

VitaGaf, 7 days to go until Bloodstained's campaign is over. We are just a few thousand short for the Vita port tier!

I got all itchy when I saw that go live for euro but not US. Going to slip in there quick when they finally put it up for here
Zero chance it doesn't get a few (hundred) thousand on the very last couple days I'd say

I'm more worried about the usual trolls that back a ton of money and back out on the last day. I'd love to see those who don't have a PS4 play it on their Vitas.

There is zero chance the Vita port won't happen. Don't worry.

Thinking about getting a 64 gig card
I have free prime so it would get here very quickly from Amazon
My 16 is nearly full and that has stopped me from enjoying my Vita
Summer is here and I want to play it!
Also this may or may not have something to do with XSEED being awesome!

I'm going to skip EDF2 for the PS4 one I think and Popolocrois won't come here anyway. I haven't played Corpse party yet so maybe I'll wait on that too.
Other than that I need all of this
XSEED (or NISA if they're quick) will get all of my money
EV and Sen was all I wanted from this E3 and it hasn't even started yet

Damn. XSEED is going to bankrupt me this year.
Sen no Kiseki? Senran? plus the earlier two announced are some of my most anticipated games for the Vita.
Somebody pinch me because I might be dreaming!

Wow, can't believe all the localization's X-SEED is doing this year for the Vita ! Lots of games coming throughout the year and their support alongside Bamco's with SAO Lost Song/Hallow Fragment PS4/God Eater 2 RB and Atlus bring over both Lost Dimensions and P4ancing All Night.
That is not even counting Idea Factory's large upcoming wave of Hyper Dimension tittles (Rebrith 3, The Zombie Cross Over, hopefully Victory 2) and their PS4 RPG Omega Quartrent.
That is a lot of games for a 'legacy' platform I think, so I really have to commend JP publishers in their efforts in supporting the Vita. Large library of games coming to the system and it is awesome to hear all of this well before E3 officially begins; hope this leads the way for official announcements for God Eater 2 RB and Digimon CS localizations .
