starcrunch061 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 So, looking at sales numbers in Japan, this game seems to have bombed, and its reviews look lackluster as well. Are there any players here who liked it? Are there any players here at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma999 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Is it out yet on the West ? I thought it was going to be release in May outside Japan . I really don't know who it is doing in Japan , hoprit turns out good when released here . I still have Akiba's Trip Undead & Undressed to play on my backlog for PS3 since launch.

Greenshyguy Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Here I am thinking it was a rhythm game lol. Looks like it'll be released in EU on 5 May, and NA on 16 May. Won't be picking this up day one, but will definitely keep an eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - I meant is there anyone who has played the Japanese version of the game? 14 minutes ago, Greenshyguy said: Here I am thinking it was a rhythm game lol.

I liked Akiba's Trip 2 far more than I thought I would, and putting the game into a JRPG format seems fun. But man - the game only sold around 20% of its shipped copies, and only around 1/10th of what Akiba's Trip 2 sold (according to Wikipedia). That always sends up a bit of a red flag with me.

Karnacharya Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'm willing to give the game a shot - not at full price though. The trophy list however, seems pretty fun, which is always welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZoneHunter Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Is this game actually related to Akiba's Trip? I have heard almost nothing of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly. While the mechanics aren't similar in the least, According to Wikipedia, weird supernatural stuff is afoot in Akihabara. It might not be vampires again, though.

Terra Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I cancelled my pre-order after seeing the trailers. I don't feel comfortable paying full price for it and the reviews aren't helping it. I'll wait and see till May when it gets released here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undead Wolf Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It's a shame to hear the game isn't that great. I've still yet to play Akiba's Trip. Not sure if I ever will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hate Strip cause of Beat I know I shouldn't judge the previous game in the series based on the latest one, but I haven't heard many good things about Akiba's Trip in the first place. From what I've seen, it looks very much like a B, possibly C quality Japanese game. If I see it for dirt cheap, maybe I'll pick it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissonn Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Akiba's Trip is a hoot. Yes, it becomes somewhat repetitive, but it's actually really fun and the story is entertaining, if light. I laughed a lot and enjoyed the story segments. The only thing I didn't enjoy about it was the sister scenario, which you can actually avoid, anyway (it borders on creepy).

Gretchen27 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 That's disappointing to hear what the reviews are saying. I watched one on YT that basically said they wouldn't finish the game because it was just so bad, but I don't think they enjoyed Akiba's Trip as well. I'm on the fence about putting a pre-order in (was gonna do that this week), because I liked Akiba's Trip quite a lot once I tried it. I noticed they delayed it for NA so maybe they'll address somethings people don't like about it. Highly doubt it'll do that well with the new "combat" system.

Hertz Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hmm. Interesting while I love the other Akiba's games this one seems to have been lacking something.... 5 hours ago, Undead Wolf said: It's a shame to hear the game isn't that great.

You certainly don't seem to mind giving away games for free to complete strangers going by your giveaways. I mean more to you than them, right?

Jounochi Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Here is the trailer. Eh, gonna hold off on this. Looks like it is very inspired by Persona and I thought I spotted a few assets that were used in Akiba's Trip. Gonna hold off for a steep discount since I'm not completely on board.

I bought it when I returned the atrocious Ar Nosurge (pipe down, peanut gallery!). I didn't expect much, but I played it through 4 separate times, always on the highest available difficulty, and found it to be very fun. It looks kind of shitty, but it played remarkably well (at least for me). Your "dirt cheap" philosophy is always sound (particularly for old games), but give it a whirl if you get a chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisty123 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Well I am in the progress of doing all nine stacks of Akiba Strip 2 over the past 4 or so years. so I might as well keep the party going and do all six stacks of this game as well.
