Only watched small stuff and read the pros/cons from some reviews and the framerate issues seem like a big deal (if it is like the Souls series) due to the need to fast reactions I guess we'll have to wait and see how it turns out

Haven't ordered Bloodborne due to the framerate issues that have been reported in the gameplay tests... will wait for that to be fixed. Anyway, DS2 is still worth going for and clearing (alongside with it's DLC)

Ended up going for Oreshika and Hotline Miami... Only did 1 year in Oreshika but it feels like i'm gonna have my hands full for quite a long time with it (and sometimes feels a bit "stall" regarding progress... at least for now)

Is it only available with Type-0? Here it's only getting released tomorrow

Unless you were talking about "FF: Lightning returns"? (you only play Lightning there, right? still got that on my backlog)

I couldn't even get myself to pick that up... personally i'm a NIS fanboy since Disgaea (the very first one) and around the time that Hyperdimension Neptunia came out I had just been burnt twice by some games that somewhat disappointed me (Cross Edge & Trinity Universe). Please tell me the grind in the Neptunia Series isn't nearly as boring as it is on Trinity Universe (yes i've got a trauma with that one... painful painful platinum), is it? Reason for the question is that when I noticed that both games were from Idea Factory and/or Compile Heart so... >_>

So... there's supposedely a demo out (haven't checked it yet) and there's some game footage now... Can only say i'm impressed with summons (spoiler below for those who want to see it): Kotaku already has some stuff about how the demo plays...

That's what saddens me regarding the current Vita game list. Expected more "good" titles out there (this last gen has been so cruel on JRPG and such). Regarding the Atelier games, i've been playing those on PS3 thro time. Oreshika sounds interesting from what you describe. Gotta look into that thanks (and store images look good) P.S: finally got the last trophy on Demon Gaze... deciding on what to start playing next (pending towards Tales of Xillia on PS3 now)

Thanks for the feedback, i'm more of a JRPG/Strategy game player... Regarding Dragon Crown, i've already got it on plus for PS instead of vita so I doubt i'll be getting that one. My vita experience is still relatively new (got it in September with God Eater 2 while I was in Japan) and i've been playing some of the "free" Plus games. Other than that so far i've been mainly playing hunting games (GE2 - need to clear story, Toukiden - need to farm last post-game trophies and Freedom Wars - got plat). Besides the hunting games I also got P4G (right after the purchase of the console), Akiba's Trip, Demon Gaze Global Edition, Ys: Memories of Celceta (haven't started yet) and Deception IV: Blood Ties. Kinda looked at Danganronpa series but haven't fully understood it's gameplay xD (didn't look much into it tbh). Also checked out Soul Sacrifice Delta (and considering the buy) but i'll have to finish up at least another of them hunting games first. Regarding Hotline Miami and Terraria... they aren't much my type (even tho I've got Terraria on steam - prefered Starbound for some reason). Thanks to the feedback i'm currently adding to my "to check" list: Virtue's Last Reward Tearaway Muramasa: Rebirth Corpse Party Gravity Rush (for some reason I never really looked into it) @Funyarinpa: XCOM is damn good indeed. I've gotta dive back into it with the expansions. I've always been a fan of XCOM games since the first one (screw Apocalypse tho) and dived right into the latest XCOM as soon as it was out. Totally worth it Regarding Senran Kagura... what's the gameplay like? Fully VN or what (i remember seeing up Bon Apetit and music/rhythm threw me away)?

Turnip Sensei... any recommendations for Vita?

That remark makes me believe the polls in fuwa are rigged!

Mod bait trolling... successful

Currently trying to finish up Demon Gaze for PSVita (and then finish up God Eater 2)... with little time it's not easy to grind it up :S edit: also got the tales of xilia (1 and 2) to start as well :s

First Leonard Nimoy and now Terry Pratchett... so many great losses in such a short time

Welcome to the forums and as many already mentioned, good luck for the Kanji grind (as far as I know, it's only a matter of time/dedication)

Personally i'd recommend these companies (mainly focused on strategy games or RPG... well usually have a gameplay element): Alicesoft: Daiakuji, Daibanchou/Big Bang Age, Daiteikoku (and a few others, even tho i'm not a fan of Rance series); Eushully: most titles have good gameplay, i'd definitely recommend Ikusa Megami Zero (Battle Goddess Zero); Without full translations available you also have SoftHouseChara games. As LionovaA mentioned, Yumina's also a good investment

Confession: never learnt to ride a bicycle in 29 years... sad miserable youth

The recent movies introduce the Skull Knight and effectively show him rescuing them from the Eclipse (as well as engaging Zodd outside). In the original show he's nowhere to be found. P.s: edited first post to give a more complete answer/explanation to my PoV EDIT: Then again, the movies came out A LOT of years after the original anime and doesn't develop characters as well as the original (and if I recall correctly, the plan with the movies was to "properly" repeat the first arc and continue onward).

As far as anime goes, the bittersweet award for me goes to Berserk (original anime, not the new movies). Personally I love Berserk but the way they finished up the show leaves so much without answer (and major characters missing). Whenever I recommend Berserk to someone I always warn them "beware the ending" >_>

Interesting post and regarding something i've been experiencing over the last few years. Everything was essencially the same but work overload was taking it's toll on me (wasn't effectively able to shut down and disconnect from work) and I find it interesting that you mentioned the relation between mind and body. I was mainly feeling without much hunger and would often end up feeling sick and for a long time I thought it could be due to previous abuses I had done (lots of alcohol and such). I ended up going to have my stomach checked and everything was fine, he (the doctor) suggested that it could be stress related and I then decided to take a leave without pay at work. Truth is, that after that I've been feeling much better and ever since I realized it was my stress and work related issues that was making me feel "bad" I did everything on my reach to disconnect from work. Even if everything is "fine" or "the usual" in your life, it doesn't mean you're not having anxiety attacks (so to speak) and/or stress related issues. It's NOT easy for one to realize the stress you're feeling mainly when it starts building up slowly. Edit: I see what you did there as you read Fate/tay Night.

True... if Demon and both Dark Souls count (or chuckie egg 2) >_> The next person hasn't got "normal" sleep schedules

There's always times where it may be required... "headache", "that time of the month", etc etc etc
