So I finally got a Japanese PS2. The floodgates are open.

I actually think I got a decent deal off ebay.

I got a White Fat Model complete and it seems like it's in pretty great condition.

Complete with complete versions of

Final Fantasy X International.
Final Fantasy X-2 International.
Silent Hill 2 Restless Dreams
Silent Hill 3
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil Gun Survivor: Heroes Never Die.
Dino Stalker
Xenosaga Episode 1
Suikoden 3

Now I pretty much already own the US versions of these games, still for a lame collector like me I'm pretty happy to have them. Though, man XII international would have made me lose it.

All this for $112 dollars total. I think I lucked out since even black models seem to be going for that by themselves.

Go for the Sega Ages games, especially the Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box, Phantasy Star collection (not the remakes), and the Monster World collection. ESPGaluda is also excellent if you like shmups. And there's a few JP-only Tales games. And all the awesome PS1 imports you can play.

make a bathtub into a hat, then have someone get into the hat bathtub, and then put another hat bathtub on the person in the bath.

Well, it's almost all its got. Namco, if they had a single pair of firing synapses, would have been able to bring Idolmaster to mobile without outsourcing it entirely. Fumbling dimwits.

bork · « **Reply #15313 on:** July 21, 2015, 12:55:13 PM »

Is Idolmaster even popular anymore? I thought there was some new exactly-the-same-shit-with-a-different-name game/anime/whatever that replaced it from another company. Love Live School Idol Project I think?

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #15314 on:** July 21, 2015, 01:02:38 PM »

Idolmaster is still plenty popular, in no short part due to the success of its spinoff, Cinderella Girls. Love Live is a competitor is a market with an ass load of people willing to spend way too much money.

I still wouldnt bet on a PS4 game localization, cause Namco are way too conservative with making money to take the chance. Even though given how the market is like now (we're getting localized Project Diva games, Otome VNs, and even that idol Neptunia game got localized), I think an Im@s localization could do well. The english version of the Love Live mobile game's been a huge hit overseas after all.

I saw virtually nothing Idolmaster-related in Japan a few weeks ago, but that Love Live shit was all over the place.

Probably my two all-time favorite open world games. HAVE FUN!

Beezy · « **Reply #15318 on:** July 21, 2015, 08:10:20 PM »

I need to catch up on open world games. I've played all the console GTAs since 3, but I never actually tried to complete the campaign in any of them. I'd just do a couple missions then fuck around in the city. Saints Row 3 and Sleeping Dogs are the only ones that I actually played to completion.

Himu · « **Reply #15319 on:** July 21, 2015, 08:17:28 PM »

RDR is pretty great. I think it does a lot better than GTAV in some areas. Mainly in the random element and the quest writing, which were all pretty boring to bad in GTAV and had none of the distinct quality of RDR's.

Bully is a pretty solid game. It's heavily inspired by Shenmue, but with a less focused narrative. I didn't care for it much when it came out, because I had played Shenmue 1 and 2 earlier that year for the first time and I didn't think it stacked up. I'm really interested in giving it another shot, because in hindsight, and in terms of general concept, it appeals to me. Maybe this time it won't be colored by my experience of playing Shenmue 1, but that game in general ruins a lot of open world games for me.

Apparently Bully on Steam has a very positive grade, so I'll check it out soon.

Ya know, when a friend was telling me about Bully they said on boot up they started messing around and like found a soda machine or whatever and went 'Yes, it's Shenmue again!', so Himu-chan isn't making an entirely unprecedented comparison here. Also I fucking love Bully and am probably almost as thirsty for it's II as Himu is for Shen III.

Himu · « **Reply #15324 on:** July 21, 2015, 09:04:43 PM »

I could make a long post comparing Shenmue 1 and Bully and their intricacies. It's be pretty interesting on how the two compliment each other.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #15325 on:** July 21, 2015, 09:37:46 PM »

oooh, do it! I love me some Bully but my only exposure to Shen is via playing a smidge of II on 360 which I am told is very much not the way to play it.

Bully on PC is locked at 30 FPS, but there's a fix for it:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121093956

I guess it glitches some missions though, so maybe you're better off leaving it be (although you can revert back for those missions).

Yeah, I can see the argument easily, it might actually be a better one than the GTA comparison normally used if you can only pick one game to compare it to. I thought it was just a little funny how she wrote a whole paragraph seemingly about Bully mentioning her gaming love three times.
