The era of the .99 cent games have pretty much stunted the sales of our beloved handheld consoles. We can easily see that handhelds like the 3DS and the Vita are not doing too well right now and much of the blame can be placed on the economy. Since people are not willing to dish out hundreds of dollars into another console and their 30$-40$ games when they have a smartphone with access to cheaper games like Angry Birds. So how can systems like the 3DS and the Vita keep their foot in the door before the smartphone crew completely kicks them out? Easy, if you cannot beat them, then join them.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One

This isn't even remotely true.
A combination of the cheap games on steam plus mobile gaming is going to hurt console gaming sales. Unless something like uncharted 4 or Gears 4 comes out, its going to be very quiet on the other side of the river.
who is getting paid to say this rubbish android gaming even if it grows 20 times the dedicated handheld market mean jack sh*t,as long as Nintendo sell 15/20 million units a year there buisness is safe,it's what Nintendo have been saying we watch our own game.
With the very first sentence being wide of the mark, I'm not even going to entertain clicking on this article.
Cheap phone games don't do anything for me, even as an avid gamer. If I do find myself with some free time and my phone, I'm usually browsing the internet.
Its been awhile since one of these silly posts
"We can easily see that handhelds like the 3DS are not doing too well right now..." "
So being the top system in the world right now, breaking sales records is not doing to well?
