Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation

[url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/howlikefresh/recommended/353270]I last reviewed Re;Birth3 in 2020[/url] and I had a lot of complaints about it. I played Victory on PS3 first, got the Platinum trophy on it, and then went onto rush through Re;Birth3 practically immediately after. And I didn't really like it. I had issues with the PC port, the gameplay loop and the lack of the scouting system from the original. I didn't like the change to the SP mechanic and my game would often softlock when I played it, which just frustrated me. And the scouting system being missing meant I had no easy way of grinding EXP. 6 years later, how do I find the game now? Honestly...largely the same. However, I do not dislike it as much as I used to anymore. 6 years later, I think Re;Birth3 is just...fine. Not great, not terrible. I'm having a decent time playing through it again, but my complaints about it remain largely the same. First, I will say this - [b]Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory has my favorite story in Neptunia.[/b] Yes, better than VII in my opinion. And while Re;Birth3 tells the same story as the original game, I think it's inferior. The re-translation in Re;Birth3 attempts to minimize …

An outstanding amount of Nep!!! (Featuring Plutia yay)

This game has Plutia. I love her :)

This is probably my favorite Neptunia game, and my favorite from the Re;Birth series. They basically perfected the formula with this one. Great story and characters, and great gameplay loop. They branch out to the other dimensions with this one, so the characters all feel similar but not quite the same. Lots to do and unlock post game as well.

Great game with good gameplay, a solid soundtrack, and really lovable characters. The story was nice. It feels like a solid step up from the previous entries in terms of pacing and content. Definitely the best entry in the trilogy for me, nep.

With the consistent bugs breaking progressions especially in cutscenes after fights and the intense same-ness from the mechanic and asset re-use across all the Re:Birth games, it's hard to recommend even with Weakened Enemies enabled. Read a summary of the story if you want to catch up on the games or get a 100% save file and watch through all the cutscenes in the Museum section of a main city.
