"2. My Youth Romantic Comedy in a Game is Wrong As I Expected – PS Vita – 16,469 (16,469)"

Titles like that. Only in Japan :D

Abriael3868d ago

It's actually a game from an anime, and a damn good anime too :D

ThanatosDMC3868d ago

It left me hanging. The book might be better but havent tried reading it.

Abriael3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

@ThanatosDMC: that's the usual format now, split things in two seasons >_>

It'll finish in the second.

ThanatosDMC3865d ago

Yeah, but nothing actually developed. The characters and plot remained the same. They introduced conflicts, somewhat resolve it, but no actual change occurred.

I was hoping it'd be more like Toradora.

Next season, I hope they continue Valverave, this anime, Boku wa Tomodachi, Index, and SAO... but i highly doubt they'll come this year.

(Now, im assuming we either watch the same things or you know the animes i'm talking about)

Misaka_x_Touma3868d ago

dont make fun of one of the best new anime

nosferatuzodd3868d ago

I thought Japanese game are dead thats what some claimed at n4g oh Japanese games are dead please fanboys will always talk illogical crap

PrimeGrime3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

Japanese developers claimed the industry isn't doing well. Do your research, many have come out to say the industry in Japan is not like what it used to be.

They were talking about the overall gaming industry. Not that gaming was dead there.

Inafune is a well known developer in Japan.

This was posted just this month.

kreate3868d ago

He's talking about claims of illogical fanboys.

Misaka_x_Touma3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

just because some devs says it doesn't mean anything.

It just mean their games are doing well in Japan or the west any more.

nosferatuzodd3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

see! this is what I'm talking about illogical comment like this. dead and not doing so well are two different thing.. we all know the Japanese market isn't like it was that doesn't mean its dead that the topic not doing so well

TekoIie3867d ago

"They were talking about the overall gaming industry".

Did you read the title of what you linked?

"Inafune feels the Japanese games industry has gotten worse".

Japanese games industry. Not the overall gaming industry.

I know that. I am saying it is just stupid fanboys. Actual developers have said that it isn't doing well was my point, fanboys take that as meaning dead but they just said the industry isn't doing well.

@Pekolie

Did you even read all of what I wrote? Or just that single sentence? The entire time I was talking about the Japanese gaming industry. So what sense does your comment even make knowing that?

That is a general statement, general and overall pretty much have the same meaning. He said the Japanese gaming industry and that was the industry everyone here was talking about.

Misaka_x_Touma3868d ago

Those are really good sales, I hope that means it'll come over faster to the west.

styferion3070d ago

I hope so too, but judging from past titles we'll be waiting for the ultimate version before they decide to localize it.

freshslicepizza3070d ago (Edited 3070d ago )

good to see strong console software sales come out of japan.

Masterchief_thegoat3070d ago

3ds is the best place to play on the go

Guardia3070d ago (Edited 3070d ago )

Yes, That means that One Kid You Knew in Elementary School's uncle at Nintendo will still have a job! ;)

RoseSapphire3070d ago

When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.

EcoSos33070d ago

There will be a MH online that runs on CryEngine 3. I also hope this one makes it here.

This is still the close beta and it looks amazing.

rezzah3070d ago

I hope it comes back to a PS console, been waiting since MHFU (Freedom Unite). I'd prefer the PS4 over the Vita.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3070d ago

lol okay

even when they support online already on 3ds lol

Neonridr3070d ago

Of course you would be. I mean why support Nintendo, when you can be the cool kid on the block and be Anti-Nintendo?

RoseSapphire3069d ago

Anti-Nintendo has nothing to do with it. The PS4 and Xbone are more powerful machines with a much more robust and friendly online service. It opens up the game to a significantly wider audience while also allowing for an improvement in quality.

Neonridr3069d ago

@BranWheatKillah - fair enough, I was only joking. The fact that you said a non-Nintendo console made it seem like you had other motives. If the NX is more powerful than the PS4, then is there a problem with playing it on that machine?

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3069d ago

@BranWheatKillah
those wider audiences rather
play CoD, Madden, NBA, GTA, Assassin Creed, Need For Speed, FiFa and all the other popular western games.
