Video Game Pick-Up Thread - Post Your New Games!

Well, in that case, I suppose that Battle Royale should not be SO bad... :3 I'll give it a practice watch sometime, if I ever find my copy. I do not want to be left in the dust while everyone else shares some amazing experience, after all. X3

And now, after reading that post, I need a strong drink to forget it...

I actually just watched Battle Royale the other night, I'm generally kind of squeamish too and I was okay with it. It didn't have a lot of occasions of spurting blood that just suddenly happen for no reason, you can usually tell when something's about to end in pain. :P (Also I personally didn't think the blood looked very convincing, so that helped.)

For pickups, I grabbed Mass Effect 2 tonight, whoohoo~

. Other than that, the game seems alright, I just started so for now the combat is kind of generic, but I'm sure something will happen that adds a twist or element to it.

I would actually say that's a pretty fair description all the way through. The elemental weapons are the only real twist, if you can call it that, which you probably can't.

That sucks because I feel like they advertised the game in the description as having a unique combat, but oh well. I just picked up Jeanne D'arc yesterday for cheap, the anime cutscenes are really well done, I never realized that was a Level 5 game.

I think I am going to buy Journey today. And then I will play it, long after everyone else. And I might finish it today, maybe. I will try to update this after I have bought it and leave vague impressions which will likely be positive.

Letsee...

Hyperdimensional Neptunia
Hyperdimensional Neptunia MK2
Tales of Graces f
The Atelier Trilogy (Rorona, Totori, and Meruru... preorder for the LE is still up, if interested here)
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
Eternal Sonata

I WOULD suggest FFXIII since I enjoyed it myself, but I won't since the hate-train for it should be coming by any minute now

Cheers for the suggestions! Gonna look into them more. Heard great things about Tales of Graces f and the Atelier Trilogy! Hey , Final Fantasy 13 and 13-2 RULED. Love those games. Especially 13-2!

Glad you also liked them^^ I'm trying to play through XIII-2 currently, and enjoying it. Not so much the story so far, but I haven't played enough to really judge... I guess you played them via 360?

I'd recommend Atelier series myself. They are nice and relaxing, and no world saving involved.
Plus, the art is beautiful, and eye candy is never a bad thing. ;]

If you want a humor/reference filled game, Neptunia 1 and 2 are a riot. Don't expect too much out of the game-play from 1, but the events never failed to put a smile on my face, so it was still well worth going through.

Buy. Valkyria. Chronicles.

You will miss something if you dont play that one. The Story is great, the artwork is gorgeous, and the Gameplay is very beautiful, even if it is more of a SRPG. I wouldnt know other games to add to the list, that are JRPG's, but it goes without any comment that Disgaea is recommended as well. And personally, if you like more SRPG, maybe you will like Agarest.

Edit: Maybe Star Ocean too.
