The game is told from the viewpoint of both game and real-life of a glitching world. The game’s story features bugs that can act on their own accord, NPCs with hearts, the mystery behind characters that can’t exist, and so on.

The protagonist is a programmer named Shin Mizunashi who receives an email from “Shiina Ninomiya,” who was said to have gone missing a year ago. Shin must take action in order to save a girl who is stuck and unable to logout from a VRMMORPG called “World Odyssey” that discontinued its development. Shiina has been existing as the only player in the bug-filled World Odyssey. Shin will work with NPCs who possess hearts as well as real-life coworkers “in” and “out” of the game.

-The game features turn-based command battles. Attacks can be evaded and countered. A character can freely move and take action within limited space during their turns.

-There’s a knockback system to hit enemies away. This system brings a strategic element that allows you to further damage enemies by crashing them into each other or by using it for positional advantages.

-The “Install Genre System” lets you install game systems from the real world in order to add a genre to the battle.

-By being in the bug-filled world the character’s bodies and minds get infected by glitches. Once the infection rate goes high enough it changes the character into “Glitch Style” that also comes with tremendous power. However, there appears to be some sort of negative draw to it.

-The world is filled with bugs so you’ll encounter obstacles such as “invisible floors” and “walls that you can walk through.” You’ll use various “Bug Action” that vary depending on the field and characters.

I'll take one for the team bros.

More information on characters will be revealed on a later date. Death end re;Quest is said to be an extremely orthodox and serious RPG, but it also comes with some kind of erotic costume-change element, so fans can still expect the usual from Compile Heart on that part. Development is currently 51% complete.

It's from the same team that made Fairy Fencer F and Omega Quintet, right?

Quintet was garbage but FFF was actually a solid game, especially Dark Advent. Still had some issues but was at least worth a playthrough. Hopefully it's closer to FFF.

Anyone with a brain hates them, they put out garbage. There are plenty of ironic weebs like yourself who actually enjoy that slop though, I'm guessing it all stems from a complete lack of experience with games that actually have good writing.

The Neptunia games are actually really underrated from a writing perspective.

>setting is actually pretty well developed, but held back by copy and paste level design

Mk2 is the outlier. The writing in that game is really boring, setting included.

It sucks that the anime botched the writing, because that had potential to be pure distilled essence of everything that makes Neptunia an endearing franchise.

>>382095720
Because their games are shit and have consistently been shit ever since they started as a company, and their asset reuse is so bad even NIS would be ashamed. Even looking past their shit gameplay, their games also have terrible presentation, shit stories, shallow characters, and bad music. The only thing they have going for them is Tsunako's art (and that's only if you don't care that she has even worse sameface than Kishida Mel), and yet somehow they've managed to be a roaring success in the west with faggots that constantly make shit nep threads and act obnoxious in all other threads.
It also doesn't help that with every single new CH game that comes out you get the defence force showing up to say "well all their previous games sucked, but this new one is good, honest", which is always only half true.

aren't there like 17 animes with this exact premise

I'm going to predict a sad ending where despite everything, you can't save her and she slowly disappears while the glitched server shuts down for good.

I am going to be really disappointed if this isn't a horror game and the girl isn't an AI who will trap you in the game to take your place in the real world

What incredibly fucking low standards. No, none of those things are sufficient evidence for it having good writing, they just show that it has the absolute minimum of depth to it. You neglect to mention that 90% of the jokes in each game are the exact same single character jokes being replayed ad infinitum (Neptune hates eggplants and someone threatens her with one / Someone new can't pronounce Neptune's name / Noire has no friends / Vert is a hardcore gamer / Blanc is a secret bitch / Iffy is flat / Compa is retarded and has no redeeming features whatsoever).

>>382099039
If only, maybe it'd be worth something. Instead you get incredibly overblown analogical stories (PIRACY IS BAD AND THE BAD GUY REPRESENTS PIRACY WHICH IS BAD) while the characters have nothing to do with the consoles they represent beyond the aforementioned singular running gag they each have, which is vaguely reflective of their status in the Japanese industry at the time of the first game's release.

>Any Atelier thread made for fucking years after Neptunia's first release had Neptuniafags shitposting in it, it's the reason the fanbases absolutely hate each other.

Your problem appears to be that Neptunia has reoccurring jokes, character gimmicks (Neptunia characters all have a few), and a consistent style of humor. Going by your standards, every extended piece of comedy ever is the absolute minimum of effort. You certainly didn't cover everything that they do, and you try to present the reoccuring jokes as if they never do anything different from the other times with them.

>(PIRACY IS BAD AND THE BAD GUY REPRESENTS PIRACY WHICH IS BAD)

It was basically only Mk2 where every plot point and every piece of setting development was "BAAAW PIRACY BAAAW HACKING". V's bad guy was Atari, V2's seemed to abandon the gaming industry parallels altogether, and Rebirth didn't go overboard with its obsession.

Much like most people who criticize the cutesy style of anime writing, you're falling into the trap of conflating "over the top" with "repetitive and simple", because you can't separate yourself from the idea that cute belongs in kid's shows.

That's because they don't. The characters in Neptunia are all incredibly shallow, they have no development, they have no layers, they're nothing more than walking singular gags.

>It was basically only Mk2 where every plot point and every piece of setting development was "BAAAW PIRACY BAAAW HACKING". V's bad guy was Atari, V2's seemed to abandon the gaming industry parallels altogether, and Rebirth didn't go overboard with its obsession.
Except that the entire plot of Rebirth 1 was Arfoire (you know, R4) making illegal copies of monsters to take over the world with. And I didn't imply that every game was about that, just that they were all equally lacking in subtlety and complexity.
>Much like most people who criticize the cutesy style of anime writing, you're falling into the trap of conflating "over the top" with "repetitive and simple", because you can't separate yourself from the idea that cute belongs in kid's shows.

I played through HDN, Rebirth 1 (to completion), and SeHa Girls. All of them were complete shit and all of them had equally shallow characters repeating the exact same gags and single character traits over and over again.
If you're going to argue that "oh but the other games are good you just played the bad ones" you can fuck right off, because that's exactly what people said to convince me to play Rebirth 1, and it also doesn't excuse the three games I played all being as shit as they were.

>>382101264
To complement this post.
I'm not going to say Mk.2/Re;Birth 2 is good, but it's better than 1 and V is pretty good in both writing and plot.
V-II is the best one so far gameplay wise but I miss the parallels to the game industry.
Maybe, like I said in a previous post, if you based your opinion on something outside the fucking shitty first game you'd understand. I didn't fall in love with the series until Nepgear showed up and she shows up in the second to worst game in the series.

Why are you like this, holy shit.
You don't want to give a chance to the good games of the series which are V and V-II but you tried not only 2 of the games literally even the fanbase hates but the spin-off as well.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Am I getting trolled? I feel like no one can be as dumb as you.

Shit if you don't want to experience the whole game just pirate it with the DLC and play it with the hax weapons and rush it, just don't be the cunt who talks shit without even playing the fucking thing.

>Why are you like this, holy shit.
Because, and this doesn't seem to be getting through to you despite me saying this multiple times already, this is the exact same shit Neptunia fans told me before when I was convinced to play Rebirth 1. "No man, the previous games suck, but the new one is finally a good game this time." And so I played Rebirth 1, and it sucked, and then I saw people saying the same thing when Rebirth 2 came out, then 3, and then with V-II. Given all this, you should be able to imagine my scepticism when I'm confronted with someone who says "No man, you just played the bad games, you should play the good games this time", when talking about the games that I was told were good before.

As for SeHa Girls, I only bothered with that one because it had the SeHa Girls in it and the anime was great, but lo and behold, the writing in it was fucking garbage that was painfully unfunny and one-note, leaving me nothing of their anime characterisation to enjoy in it.

>Shit if you don't want to experience the whole game just pirate it with the DLC and play it with the hax weapons and rush it, just don't be the cunt who talks shit without even playing the fucking thing.
I thought we had all agreed that the gameplay was garbage? Between HDN, Rebirth 1, Trillion, and Moero all being shit (with Moero just barely making its way up to mediocre) I'm not going to believe you if you try to tell me that V actually has good gameplay.

Why do people care so much if you like Neptunia or Compile Heart stuff?
Shit, they are not a very good studio but why does it matter?

It's not like Nepfags are saying they have the ultimate taste for liking Neptunia or that the game requires skill or anything, they just enjoy it for whatever reason yet there's always a fag who comes to these threads to talk smack as if his e-peen would shrink if he didn't.

>>382100992

Neptunia's characters aren't super deep, but it's not accurate to pretend like they're minimal effort. Compare some of the characters here to copy and paste harem:

Neptune's basically along for the ride because she's the protagonist, even though she gives no fucks. As I described before, there is something to notice there. She appears stupid, but she's actually just lazy.
Nepgear seems like the reliable team mom at first glance, but she's actually sorta bumbling, tends to fall in with her sister's slacking, and doesn't really take the lead.
Ram is insecure as fuck, which causes her to be a brat, which causes people to avoid her, which causes her to be insecure, etc. (let's throw Mk2 a bone)

There's some character building and manipulation of expectations going on here. Calling them "walking singular gags" is just not an accurate way to describe Neptunia's cast.

>>382101861
>Neptune's basically along for the ride because she's the protagonist, even though she gives no fucks. As I described before, there is something to notice there. She appears stupid, but she's actually just lazy.
Yeah, I get it, it was obvious enough from the games I did play. That didn't make her fun or interesting. Anyone can tick off a checklist of "ok he's a vampire and he's an asshole but he actually has a dark past that makes him act that way but he really wants to be positive but his secret werewolf half won't let him because he has to fight space zombies and his dad was a space zombie". Adding multiple layers to a character doesn't automatically make them well-written, it just gives you more to work with. And in the three games I played Neptunia did nothing to work with those traits beyond using the same fucking gags over and over and over again.

>>382101830
V has some new elements and if you don't play it on normal, you actually need some strategy, positioning, buffs and shit to clear the bosses.
V-II has the best gameplay in the mainline series by far.

>But back then they told me Re;Birth 1 was good.
Because if you truly played HDN then you know the fuck huge difference Re;Birth has, the fact that you can heal is a pretty significant one I'd say.

>But muh gameplay
And I never once said the gameplay is good, I said it's better in the newer installments and I'm just asking you to read the god damn thing so you can form a proper opinion instead of just assuming shit from, again, the worst games in the series.

That doesn't mean anything. Is it actually good? Probably not.
>Because if you truly played HDN then you know the fuck huge difference Re;Birth has, the fact that you can heal is a pretty significant one I'd say.
Yeah, of course Rebirth 1 was a massive step up from the absolute shit that was HDN, I won't argue against that. But Rebirth 1 itself was still its own brand of trash. I would without any exaggeration give the original HDN a 1/10 and Rebirth 1 a 3/10. Neither of them were good games in any sense whatsoever.
>I'm just asking you to read the god damn thing so you can form a proper opinion instead of just assuming shit from, again, the worst games in the series.
And I don't see any reason to believe it would get any better. Did they fire their entire writing staff and replace them with new ones for V and V-II? Probably not.

No, I don't think so, however the characters do feel very different after Rebirth 1 I can tell you that much.

The Nep from 1 and the Nep from V have almost feel like different characters that share some personality traits and jokes.
Keep in mind that technically they are not the same character since they are from different dimensions and stuff.

>>382102242
Compile Heart makes bad games and I wish people would admit that they're bad games with shallow writing and they like them in spite of that instead of pretending they're anything more.
I also dislike seeing how well Compile Heart games sell despite how bad they are, because I don't understand why people would continue to consistently give them money as they consistently pump out shitty game with poor writing and terrible presentation.
No one here has even brought up the localisations either, which have been pretty fucking bad with IFI and NISA before them. They're liberal garbage the likes of Commie or Gaijinworks would release, but I guess no one cares because they're not censoring any anime titties.

>>382102032

But not everybody can show rather than tell. Don't act like Neptunia has a CWC-style dump in place of actually playing those traits out. You know that's bullshit.

Are you retarded? I wasn't at all pretending that's what happens in Neptunia, I was creating an exaggerated list of traits for my example of perceived depth not meaning anything to the quality of a character.

Well most people think Ram is just a brat for the sake of being a brat without realizing her vicious cycle.

Stuff like Plutia having to hide her dominatrix side under a cutesy facade because she knows people don't truly like her.

What separates a good vampire who's an asshole but he actually has a dark past that makes him act that way but he really wants to be positive but his secret werewolf half won't let him because he has to fight space zombies and his dad was a space zombie from a bad one? A bad writer tells you about a character's traits through exposition, a good writer shows you a character's traits through their actions. Neptunia belongs to the latter.

>What exactly do you consider "The Neptunia games are actually really underrated from a writing perspective." to mean?

I mean that they put more effort into it than one-dimensional stock types and lazy gags. It's a decently written story.

I believe you'd write me up as one of the "obnoxious" people you already talked before with but let me just throw in my 3 cents here, you don't have to, ever since the start of this entire chain it was about showing that there's indeed better writing in other titles, not exactly getting you to play them

Anon, I don't care if you play Nep or not but I'm telling you that you can't talk smack if you don't know the whole picture. It makes YOU look bad.

It's not important because you are Anonymous and your post will be lost in a few hours but what about your honor and your standards? Is that all you are? A fag who talks shit without playing the games?

Look, I won't try to convince you to play V and V-II but I can assure you the same thing every Nepfag says, the series gets better as it progresses. You won't like Mk.2/Rebirth;2 because it's just the first one but with better (worse) characters but you might enjoy V more, it's more complex and the parallels to the gaming industry are pretty good.

I'm not saying Nep games are masterpieces but for what they are, mediocre anime games, they are pretty good.

>>382103021
Yeah I know, I just wanted to give examples of things people just dismiss therefore, making Neptunia a technically underrated series writing wise.
There's more that meets the eye.

What a gross oversimplification. No, that isn't what separates them. What separates them is how well those facets of the character are explored. If something only ever comes up once and has no bearing on anything, then it's completely throwaway and worthless to the character. As an example: I've been watching Becker recently. Mostly funny show, but goes through lots of different episode writers and it suffers for it. Becker ranges from smart and meek in the face of adversity to stupid and needlessly aggressive. Characters rattle off seeing psychics or believing in astrology not because it means anything to the character, but because it's what the joke they came up for called for at that moment. This is what Neptunia is like, when it's not regurgitating the same running gag it's instead full of throwaway gags with zero consideration for characterisation impact, but that doesn't matter because they never come up again. And just as in Becker, that's not good writing.

Nice try, despite being told that Rebirth 1 was good at the time I went in expecting it to still suck and wrote up a whole analysis of why it was a shitty game. I don't have the energy to do that again, or to sit through another 30 hour crappy game with terrible production values and the same environments once again in the hopes that maybe the writing is decent this time.
>Look, I won't try to convince you to play V and V-II but I can assure you the same thing every Nepfag says, the series gets better as it progresses.

And I played it on PC.

>>382103756
I don't, but I at least expect a game to have decent gameplay or a decently interesting cast and story if it's going to make me sit through shit gameplay (like Trails in the Sky, for example). Neptunia had shit gameplay and thoroughly unenjoyable writing combined with the $2 of production values, so where's the problem in me calling it crap for being crap? For someone complaining about there only being two extremes of quality you seem to be pushing the same thing. That said, no the franchise itself doesn't pretend to be anything special. It's the fans that pretend it is.

>If something only ever comes up once and has no bearing on anything, then it's completely throwaway and worthless to the character

Good thing that doesn't describe anything that I laid out, then. Ram's behavior is a story arc that extends over a good portion of the game and culminates in feelgood, and Neptune's slacking and Nepgear's almost-getting-to-work-but-not-quite tendencies have a lot of control over the plot progression. And before you try to say it, the presence of a reoccurring element in a joke doesn't make it a copy-and-pasted joke if it contributes to a different skit. The different characters that they interact with and the different stuff that they decide to do results in a different joke.

None of these things happened in the games I played. In Rebirth 1, the only one I did play to completion, the only moment of "depth" that did come up was Neptune just pretending to be retarded, and as pointed out, it never went anywhere or meant anything in that game.
>And before you try to say it, the presence of a reoccurring element in a joke doesn't make it a copy-and-pasted joke if it contributes to a different skit. The different characters that they interact with and the different stuff that they decide to do results in a different joke.
Repeating the exact same gag with a new character doesn't make it a fresh gag. No matter how many people fail to pronounce Neptune's name, it's not going to get any funnier than it was the first time (and it wasn't funny the first time).

I know you are not lying but you are misunderstanding.
When V-II came out no one said V was trash or when Cyberdimension came out no one said V-II was trash.
What people say about the Neptunia series is that Compile Heart listens to its fans and fixes problems from the previous installments and improves on the good things.

Nep sequels truly are sequels despite the recycled assets in the R;B games.
Which would be a perfect complain to have if you only played more than 1 mainline series game.

>>382104645
>There's literally nothing to complain about.
Well, there's the gameplay. And the abysmal production values that didn't even let them acknowledge which girl died because that'd mean making unique dialogue for their respective flags instead of just lazily referring to them as "our comrade". And the severe lack of unique events during training that means you see everything there is to see by the time you're 1/5 through each girl's time period. And there's the shallow writing and characterisation.
So basically there's everything except the premise that was totally wasted on how shit the game was.

>Oh crap, that sounded like a flag!

Same core gag of Neptune being the meta humor character, not the same joke. Likewise, if you apply the flag joke to different situations, it serves to poke fun at and amplify different things.

>it never went anywhere or meant anything

Except for controlling how Neptune behaves as the protagonist, you mean? It also interacts interestingly with Purple Heart, who's basically Neptune if she started giving a fuck (again, it becomes obvious that she hasn't become someone else entirely the more you watch her).

>>382104854
>When V-II came out no one said V was trash
Trash? No, but they did indeed say it was bad and that V-II was finally a good game this time, for a while, at least. In fact, this is the first thread where I've seen people saying V was good again.
>What people say about the Neptunia series is that Compile Heart listens to its fans and fixes problems from the previous installments and improves on the good things.
They certainly didn't do anything to improve Rebirth's engine issues by the time Felistera got it for SeHa Girls, because SeHa Girls still had the same engine shortcomings that Rebirth 1 did. And besides, the bar is so low that it's incredibly difficult not to improve. The problem is that by now they really should be making great games with all the time and support they've had, but they're still wallowing in mediocrity.
>Nep sequels truly are sequels despite the recycled assets in the R;B games.
Recycled assets weren't just in Rebirth, don't pretend that they are.

Nep is very ruthless in Rebirth 1 since the Noire having no friends joke was already established so she had no need to waste time being sensitive about it.

It's actually hilarious that you used copy and paste harem as a comparison. Because all of that is about as much depth as I can expect from the many, many harem novels that I have read. I'm not proud of it, but it gives me the expert knowledge required to say "Nep is literally no different from that shallow bullshit"

Of course they do, just consider the audience. It's only natural that they'd love such a liberal script and a bunch of them use the dubs too. People also say NISA's localizations sucked and IFI's are fine, even though IFI's are pretty much the same shit.

>>382105971
the audience is all over the place so I woudn't know what to expect, and people talk about Nep anywhere from a little to a lot on like 5 different boards

This is the most infuriating part of Neptune, the appalling localization. I'm not fluent with Japanese by any stretch of the imagination, but I do understand some of it, and up to 80% of the entire translations for all the games are entirely made up.

What the fuck.

>>382105971
A friend who is a professional JP=>EN translator told me the Monster Monpiece translation was really bad with lot of stuff changed for no reason.

It's not about being elitist, it's about either having the patience to stomach the localization or being big enough of a memelord to revel in it.

I prefer something I can stomach.

By what standards? Compared to what? It's certainly not as good as Etrian Odyssey, any of Experience Inc's games, Wizardry PS2, or even Dungeon Travellers 2 (which is nowhere near as good as people pretend).
>What do you consider wrong with it?
It's been so long that I can hardly recall, but it was pretty damn mindless and easy. The only praise that I will give it was that the script was fairly entertaining, which was a surprise coming from Compile Heart.
