Neptunia: “Plain Old Ugly Japanese Sexism” “20%”

hyper-dimension-neptunia-terribly-sexist-1.jpg

The hatred of western reviewers for games with low advertising budgets and niche audiences continues to manifest itself in further slating of ero-RPG Hyper Dimension Neptunia, with yet another big-name reviewer, in this case Eurogamer, now apparently scoring the game on the basis of feminism and political correctness – it is said to be “plain old ugly Japanese sexism” and “sexist, senseless and ultimately stupid.”

    360 install is not the same as PS3 install. If this game uses HDD caching, which I assume it does, on the 360, then installing to HDD will actually slow it down. Access from disc +... More

Nobunaga no Yabou – Kakushin Review

Nobunaga’s Ambition - Kakushin

信長の野望・革新/Nobunaga no Yabou – Kakushin (Nobunaga’s Ambition – Kakushin/Reform) is the latest in the series of Sengoku Jidai grand strategy games which made Koei, and since it was relatively recently updated with the パワーアップキット/Power-up Kit, I will provide a review. Please note that this is the sequel to the recently released (in English) Nobunaga’s Ambition: Rise to Power, an otherwise quite different game. The Power-up Kit (PK) provides some fairly significant changes, so I will restrict this review to the game with the PK.
