Since Genshin is moddable now, the community is bumping up the actual game too :)

I loved this video. This is my favorite video in 4+ years. Your content is always well edited and thought-provoking. I really appreciate your opinions and coverage.

Disregard for Iffy... Shame!!!

and game maker?the new one

Sisters vs Sisters only being a sidenote on the worst-side certainly does not fill me with confidence for the rest of the series. I tried it and it was so bad, I am still unsure if I even want to try another game of the series. Though something that will always be great for me personally is that the Nintendo Wii is one of the 4 major characters in the series and has two identical DS-sisters that are just too much for her(Those were my first two consoles, being a kid in the 2000s and early 2010s). Appearently one of the storylines in the series is that she temporarily went broke too and reading that gave mild WiiU-flashbacks.

Neptunia 1 is no joke basically my gaming savior haha. I kept seeing it in-store and being interested, but me thinking I was an informed, mature, game buyer now would check reviews on my phone. I'd always see the bad reviews (Gamespot gave it a 3/10, IGN a 6/10), and convince myself I shouldn't buy it. Instead, I was buying better reviewed games and playing them. Generally not having a great time. Stuff like Oblivion (9.3 on IGN), it was an absolute slog for me and I didn't have fun playing it. I eventually did cave in and pick up the first Neptunia game. I couldn't stop playing it, I was staying up all night over the weekend and having a great time. I could see the ways it was "bad", sure (You can do more DPS if you skip animations because of the break timer?!), but that's when I finally learned to just follow what you like and not treat reviews as gold. Listen to what the reviews say, and find reviewers you agree or disagree with to figure out if you might enjoy a game. I'll always love Neptunia for that!.

Neptunia U action unleashed is some of my favourite gameplay with the genuinely fun hack and slash but as you said the story is lacking because the game is basically just a list of quests to go on.

Like if you've recognised the thmbnail the instant you saw it

I agree about Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars being a dissapointment, but I hope there's sequel or another crossover..

Thats true Action Unleashed really didnt have much of a story, but it was jus okay. For me personally i actually really hated Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies story. That story is just completely nonsensical. There is an actual trajedy going on and they just end up filming a movie with a dumb plot. I frankly dont even remember if the story had a proper conclusion. And thats not even mentioning how Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies is just a worse Action Unleashed in every way except for the fact that it features more playable goddesses. Did i mntion how much i dislike Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies?

My least favorite PC port was U because something caused it to never load cutscenes and or freeze up due to having a Wacom installed. I wonder if they ever fixed that. Had it on Vita anyway but you know how steam sales go

Hey man, I don't know if you're reading these comments, but I just wanted your opinion: As a long-time follower of the franchise, do you think IF will make another mainline game featuring turn-based combat? If so, when do you anticipate it happening? I really don't think anything with the exception of 4 Dimensions has done real-time combat justice, especially given that Sisters v Sisters felt extremely clunky, formulaic, and not fluid to play for me.

neputnia "games" are a long running gag. the "devs" chuckle every time one of us is thirsty enough for cuteness to buy one (again). heck i bought V2 on the switch. could quite possibly be the dumbest thing i ever did and yet, somehow i have no regrets. i am pretty sure i've developed a deep seated stockholm syndrom with idea factory / compile heart. do i expect the next one to be anything other than super trashy shovelware? of course i don't. will i still buy it? of course i will!

Unfortunately I can’t play three houses or hopes through multiple play throughs because I won’t betray lady Edelgard

Happy 14th anniversary

played a few, i can't pick the best or the worst. they're average. nepgear is adorable but I wish uni or rom or ram get to be the protagonist in next title

best: none worst: all of them

VIIR has a pretty good PC port compared to VII. Less stuttering and smoother frame pacing all-around. Only issue is that it can crash randomly but the game has autosave anyways. MK2 looks pretty good if you upscale it with the PS3 emulator called RPCS3.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a new more refined action unleashed game

I agree with 4 God's, it was such a fun game and I didn't minded that I wasn't able to play co-op at the time, in fact I caught myself wanting to replay again, even though I platined the game. But I thought that Sisters x Sisters was a cannon game, there's even a huge topic on Steam about it. As someone that never had the chance to play the Vita games, I like of the Re:Birth1, I was just super confused when I started playing Re:Birth 2 because they didn't made clear that it's technically another game, but I like to think of Re:1 like a good nostalgia trip that unfortunately didn't aged very well, but it served its purpose at the release.

VII was my first and still is my favorite. The only real drawback this game has is that you can only save manually, other than that, it’s a pretty well rounded game.

I love Neptunia games! But this game looks really bad. I wish they would focus on a new main title. There has been so many remasters and remakes, where the audience is feeling burnt out by them. I wish idea factory would put more effort into a new game.

Nepgear is bae

To think neptunia series is pretty old now. Its crazy

i can't play 4 Goddesses Online. on start up there this loading screen i think its a totally fake loading screen its still is a very long loading screen. NOTHING MATTERS IN THIS GAME, IF I HATE SIMPLEY STARTING UP THE GAME!!

4 Goddesses is by far my favourite Neptunia game. I love the game play and having nepgear as a mage is pretty awesome. It's got framerate issues and some bugs but what Neptunia game doesn't.

Probably going to one of the more meh entries in the series just for reference, The whole game Is the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe coin runners mode but with Dogoos instead of coins😢 for 15 stages, that's it. That's all your getting for 40 bucks Yeah I'd wait for a price drop when it comes out next year. You don't even race or do the the time trials which were nice in game maker just drive around collecting slime dogs and the first to get 100 wins, you'd think they switch up the requirements but nope it's the same thing every single time. It was a huge letdown, honestly

Aside from the bugs and loading time, 4GO was peak Neptunia. SVS and GMR try to do things that 4GO has done yet feel clunky and the Unity Engine visuals are step back.

I absolutely loved the Ninja outfits the goddesses had in NeptuniaXSenran Kagura. I also appreciated the fact that Purple Heart had a lot more personality in that game compared to the others where she's mostly stoic imo and doesn't have a lot of screen time compared to the other goddesses.

I didn't have a PS3 and only played one of the games on the PS4 with VII. I feel if I got a PS3, played the first games to what we have now I would get into it.

Fun listing. I love Neptunia and am proud I own a physical copy of every title. Love seeing the series covered. I also liked superneptunia rpg.

The worst will always be the start of the series with the original PS3 game.

I'm still waiting for an android version of Neptunia and Friends. It's hard to learn japanese

I just turned 25 yesterday and discovered neptunia when I was 15. Unfortunately I am no longer a big fan like I used to be a few years ago. I started losing interest in the franchise after Megadimension Neptunia VII . The lack of main games and too many spin-offs made me lose interest slowly over time. My dream as a neptunia fan back then was to get an open world neptunia game that would have graphics similar to Genshin Impact with Zelda breath of the wild gameplay. A game where you would create your own character and interact with the neptunia characters and explore Gamindustri. Hovever all we are getting now is recycled content, remakes of remakes . To this day they still have large sections of the games without voice which is ridiculous. Anyways, I still listen to the opening and ending songs and the characters still have a special place in my heart, I just which it wasn’t in the state it currently is in.

Nah nah nah, I already heavily disagree with your position on this. Out of the mainline games, Victory is the worst, BY FAR. The OG's problem is deep mechanics, but with a very steep learning curve. And its only probability if you don't know how the game works. Lone Nep is someone I'd recommend for learning how to actually play the game. Pikangs_Futaba also would be a good choice. And let's stop peddling nonsense on the Trinity Universe stuff. Not to mention its ludicrous that you would consider Producing Perfection the worst mechanically while also consider 4GO the best. I would actually consider 4GO the worst and Gamemaker the best. 4GO is a broken mess of a game and its sole value is finding every way imaginable to break it. My friends and I beat the hardest boss battle in like, 3-5 minutes because we had a busted build. Not to mention, even on single player, if you know how to probably guard, you can cheese enemies 10+ levels greater than you. That doesn't make 4GO good. It makes it horrendous and mindless if you don't know how to play the game, horrendous and a different kind of mindless when you do. Okay, let's not claim Re;Birth 1 is the worst in the mainline when you've literally got Victory/Re;Birth 3 right f-ing there man. FINALLY! A TAKE I CAN AGREE WITH! Because YES SUPER NEP RPG'S STORY IS THE BEST OF THE SPINOFFS! Honestly, I get what you're coming from with Action U, but I still heavily disagree. I would select either Megatag or Ninja Wars. God I hate Ninja Wars especially. I would also say the worst graphics for mainline is either Mk2 or Victory. As for spinoffs, I would heavily disagree on 4GO. Its not bad, but its far from the best. I hate myself for saying this, but to be objective, Ninja Wars is the best visually. I'd say the worst spinoff visually, I'd pick Action U. Also, I heavily don't appreciate the continuous Vita shade. 4GO isn't innovative in the slightest. I'd say the most innovative spinoff is either Super Nep RPG or Hyperdevotion. Though Gamemaker is also valid. The worst game in the innovation category is Sisters vs Sisters, hands down. I disagree on Mk2 Re;Birth 2 best the best "Non Neptune main character" spinoff, but I can get where you come from. Especially the Conquest Ending. But I'd argue that it would be either Sega Hard Girls or Sisters vs Sisters. But you kinda picked a weird category here, since there's maybe 3-4 games where Nep isn't forced into being the main character. Worst being Blanc from Megatag.Imagine a game where your main character's biggest value and contribution is just "Well I'm here I guess."

Neptunia mk2 is the best nep nep game for me than the reb2 except the Conquest it's so terrible, also i like the storyline of reb1 mostly the true ending and gameplay 💜🍮🍮🎮

Producing Perfection's story is very simple. I enjoy it simply because we saw a different side to the goddesses. Basically it features YOU getting isekai'd to Gamindustri and you have to be a producer for the goddesses. What really stinks about the game is that you have to make a bunch of correct decisions in order to get the true ending and there is nothing that tells you that you're making the right decisions. I honestly have no idea how the people who wrote the guides figured everything out. With Hyperdevotion Noire. I feel like the whole YOU thing is completely underplayed. I completely forgot that you're some kind of general for the girls until you brought it up in this video. I love Super Neptunia RPG and I wish it would get a sequel. The only thing that bugs me about the game is that you can level up to 999, but there's no reason to. So I'm not sure why you can even do it. As for the other games. I love em' all! Sorry, I just don't feel like there was any stagnation, but I'm a super fan so that's the problem.

I think your critisism is a bit to hard.

Neptunia is the best franchise of all time. Its an underrated masterpiece. 😊 I love all games and I'm going to play all games. I also played the very first game last year. :) Neptunia deserves many more fans. Its better than Mario, Zelda, Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball and other games.

Hyperdimension Neptunia on PS3 was something special. I didn't know what the "SOUL" meme was about until I replayed that game to compare it to Rebirth 1; the game is like the definition of soul.

I do find that there is something to love in each Neptunia game. Huge fan obviously.

I really hope the next mainline is a VII again in terms of quality. You really nailed that it felt like they were going forward, only to regress badly. I think the next mainline will determine the fate of the series.

Great video! Better than most of these games. Original PS3 Neptunia is a rite of passage.

Re;Birth PC ports don't have a proper resolution setting. They only allow you to change the output resolution so the game always renders internally at the same resolution. This combined with game's FXAA make these games extremely blurry. It's so bad that it was giving me a headache while playing which caused me to initially give up on the series when I first tried playing Re;Birth1 years ago. Later I discovered the Neptastic mod and it makes a night and day difference. With it I was able to play through all Re;Birth games. Also while Re;Birth3 is by far the best game of the 3 in terms of gameplay and quality of life features (I can't believe it took them 3 games to provide an in-game way to quickly check where you can find a specific material for the Remake System plans) it almost gets ruined by the random crashes during battles which I never ran into while playing the previous two games (the 4GB patch made the crashes less common but they still happen). VII and VIIR have the same issues with their resolution settings and while you can fix it in VII with the Megaresolution Neptunia mod, there's currently no proper fix for VIIR (you can change the internal resolution by modifying the executable however you have to disable post-processing which has a big impact on the visuals). Neptunia U also has this issue however in case of that game the resolution is based on your desktop resolution so you can use VSR/DSR on Windows or Gamescope on Linux to increase the render resolution. Regarding the story of the PS3 original while I do see your point, for me (I don't have a PS3 but I did watch a full KZbin playthrough) the story was ruined by the awkward voice acting (which makes sense since it's the first game in the series but given how much better it got in later games it really stands out) combined with the long pauses during dialogue (probably due to the game having to load data from the Blu-ray disk).

R-evolution was quite nice.

*(**2:10**)* Personally, I would say that the game with the worst gameplay isn't _HDN1,_ but _mk2._ _HDN1's_ gameplay is, at worst, turn-off-your-brain repetitive and grindy. But _mk2_ legit feels like the developers wanted to make a game that was as un-fun to play as possible. Oh boy, can't wait to grind enemies for what feels like an hour *_each and every single time_* I enter a dungeon just so the CPUs can transform... for all of five seconds, and then I have to do it _all over again._ 😀

Well all men of culture

Nepu forever. But i still can't help but feel like everything between V2 and vs. Sisters was a drop in quality. U, Zombies, and Virtual Stars felt repetitive, Super RPG feels unfinished, and Cyberdimension felt empty

I see Nep I click

If you included soundtracks, which would you consider the best and worst? Really curious on that. I think best soundtrack would go to VII for main series, as it has a bunch of new tracks, excellent battle and dungeon music and a lot of variety. And SuperNepRPG for Spin-offs for being by far the most atmospheric and genuinely breathtaking environmental music. I don't think there's any other ost that felt so unique. Worst for main series easily goes to the first game, just really unsettling weird compositions in there.. (the one rare jazzy track was great tho) For Spin-offs.. hard to say, I guess the game that has the least amount of original tracks. So most likely Sisters VS Sisters.. which only had like.. 5 new tracks? Anyways curious what you think on that one.
