So the game comes out in less then 3 weeks. Who else was planning to get this? (By get I mean also play ONLINE, not just get the game)

I kinda lost interest in it after hearing about how terrible the RNG was to get anything good. =/

Same. It didn't help hearing how stupid the difficulty spikes would get later on in it either. Not just the Revolver Ocelot army that can INF stun lock you, but also things like having to fight multiple (In some missions 5-8) Abductors at the same time. Plus generally bad reviews that were going around.

I wouldn't mind it for MP, but only if it was enough people.

I was just wondering how many people were getting it that would actually play the MP, since I had just remembered that I had ordered it a few months ago from Amazon. (Needed it to get the free shipping for a hand soap/sanitizer dispenser). >.>;

Right now, part of me is thinking of maybe just skipping it, and waiting for a Black Friday deal or something. I ordered Sen II for VIta, with Vita having a max 4 hour play time, +Charging time, + mid terms etc, That would probably last me a few months to 100%. At least until DEC when Gundam Breaker 2 comes out. That and Sen II came out to like $80 so saving those $30 would be nice.

Maybe use it towards Minecraft instead since it's crossbuy with PS3 and Vita.

If I did get it I'll play online, but I'm just not sure I want it. It seems like such a drag from a lot of the stuff I've read. Maybe if it's super cheap on Black Friday.

I think it'd be best to see what the next update provides. I intend to make my decision accordingly.

Same. For now, I'll probably just cancel the pre-order later tonight though. It doesn't seem like the price will go above the 29.99 price it's been at for a year at least. If it goes to 19.99 or 9.99 like many Vita games did last year on BF, I'll probably pick it up agian.

Need to see if I qualify for the month of Amazon Prime thing again. >.>

Derp. Forgot to cancel my pre-order...

Also, for some reason the NA/EU version is 1 trophy removed.

I think it's this one, but someone more Fluent like Anata would have to cofirm.

I assume it's about the voice creator for your accessssory (aka your wife). If they removed that entire trophy, I'm starting to wonder if they removed the function entirely from the NA/EU version. If so then fuck off, Sony. Cancelling ASAP. (For reals this time. >.>;

I'm currently waiting for the reviews of our version before I get excited for anything. I'd rather buy Ragnarok Odyssey Ace than this right now.

Tried making a character. It's taking me a while. I don't really like the customization at all, for males anyway... It doesn't matter when there are 20ish hairs when 10 of them are ugly and the other 10 are generic spiky JRPG hairs. Faces also don't have much variety, only one older face. And a lack of facial hair. >>;;

I've been playing this a bit now, I'm up to Code 3. It seems a little too easy IMO, I get 5-6 stars all the time along with the no death and accessory not dying bonus. My favorite missions are the ones with the big robots, since those actually require more thought.

It feels like Attack on Titan meets Deadman Wonderland.

Or maybe you're just too good, Orochi. Maybe you're just way too good. >_>

Anyway, is it worth it? Early opinions seemed kind of negative.

Maybe. XD At least they give you awesome rewards for doing good, I've gotten some pretty nifty guns from it.

I was REALLY hesitant since I thought it sucked with the botched JP release, but people said it got patched a lot improving the gameplay. I bit on it since it was only 15 on Black Friday. I'm liking it a lot now (you do unlock more customization options btw, which was a complaint of mine a few posts ago).

Gameplay is fun, I really like the Thorn mechanics, it's fun swinging around and latching onto enemies. There are a few mission types, fight opposing sinners, destroy the big robots and free the citizen inside them, and one I had so far that I had to not get caught by guards.

Hahaaa..ha.....wait till later on when the difficulty jumps to insane levvels of bullshit because the Dec team doesn't know any way to make a.game challenging without artificial difficulty. 8 bosses at once, etc

I've already had to fight 3 at once in one of those optional missions that they tell you you probably shouldn't try just yet because it's "difficult," wasn't really hard.

Started upgrading the weapons I know I like, my melee weapon of choice gained 200+ attack.

Okay so started it today, and when I got the accessory cusomization, now I remembered what pissed me off about it beore I left for the 2 weeks. They removed the main custmozation feature of the entire damn game.

Fuck off, Sony.

Also their stupid pointless "translation changes" that serve no damn purpose at all, which is always one of my biggest pet peeves. THERE WAS NOTHING TO CHANGE. IT WAS ALREADY IN ENGLISH.

So I decided to look at the PS store and...B.S.

A ton of the FREE DLC stuff from the JP version, was turned into paid DLC by SoA in NA. I's mad.

The AI in this game is some of the worst I've ever seen... Even worse than Battle of Z's, and that's saying something because they really sucked. I have these jackasses set to revive no matter what, and no one seems to know how to revive. Ugh.

It's a shame and a bit ironic bceause they're the same devs, and in God Eater 2 the AI was great. They always revived me 90% of the time, they dodged enemies attacks like nothing, would know when to get the hell away from certain areas, and even abused their own invincibility frames. The only times they didn't revive me where those annoying battles where they're just overwelmed because you're fighting 3-4 bosses all at once.

Here the AI just sucks.

Also I wish there was a fast travel option or something. Or at least a damn map or guide. It took me forever to find that stupid Zakka place, only to learn it was the place above the Gas Station.

You unlock fast travel pretty early on. You have to buy the entitlement for it though.

Wow, the code 7 exam sucks ass. It was the first mission I had to retry. I ended up 6 starring it though once I did clear it.

So far I've barely passed the code 5 exam.

Character customization has been poor, especially compared to god Eater 2 where not only did it have tons of outfits for both make and female character models, but also you could mix and match different tops with bottoms clothes. Plus accessories and all that.

Though FW has the upper hand in that it lets you change the outfit colors. In GE2 you were sort of stuck with whatever was in there.

I beat Abel pretty easy but there's ANOTHER fight after it, and the AI sucks so much ass, it's simply impossible without really great endgame weapons it feels like. =/ Unfortunately when you lose you have to do all of the stupid battles again.
