Publisher appreciation threads and Developer Appreciation threads
I’m curious if people would be open to this kind of discussion? I have a few publishers that I’m desperate to discuss, and most people just don’t care.
Go ahead and discuss your heart out. Most of the time this place is tumbleweed city, and could use all the discussion it can get. I doubt anyone will mind.
Word on the street is that my mom is tumbleweed city. Get it?
I found aksys totally by accident when I bought Theresia Dear Emile at a game store on a whim. It was one of the best point and clicks I’d found on DS, so I was pumped, even had a dark gothic experience. Later when I picked up the zero escape series (Starting with 999) guess which publisher brought them to america! Aksys In case you don’t know zero escape series is a series of amazing games that are like visual novel mixed with escape room style puzzles, or some adventuring.
At this point I was ready to send money to Aksys for just about any game they want to bring over to america (that’s their MO, they localize and publish games that never would have escaped japan otherwise)!
So I picked up Tokyo Twilight Ghost hunters, which turns out to be a seriously good turn based strategy game about running a ghost hunting business. You have to lay traps, and use ghost fighting weapons while being careful not destroy unnecessary things. Because ghosts are invisible, you’ll have to use special EMF readers to locate them.
Even the visual novel parts are cool because you can choose both a sense and an emotion when responding to people. This gives you a little more control over what information and flavor text your character gets, and how you respond to characters can change how they react to you as well! I tried picking love-mouth for everyone, and they were not impressed. A very niche game. But if it’s been a long time since a game could challenge you with a strategy style, then I recommend you try this out. Great rock and heavy metal soundtrack too. Tokyo Twilight Ghost hunters is available across many platforms, pc, vita, and ps4 I think.
Hey I love some of these games too! I have them on both the DS and VITA and love them, great games. The games in my quote are the ones I play and enjoy.
I loved playing Zero Escape, Virtues Last Reward. To me, it’s the very best game they released. I have it on both 3DS and VITA. Yes, it’s that good.
For these kind of games, the switch gets them now, I would also recommend NG - it is the second entry in the Spirit Hunter series, and the companion story to last year’s award-winning, Spirit Hunter: Death Mark. Spirit Hunter: NG follows the story of a young man on a life-threatening quest to discover who—or what—is responsible for the disappearance of his little sister.

I highly recommend you play: Zero Escape, Virtues Last Reward. To me, it’s the very best game they released. Give it a try. I have it on both 3DS and VITA. Yes, it’s that good.
Yes! I love all the visuals in Virtue’s last reward, especially in comparison to the sequel Zero Time Dilemma.
I feel like in ZTD the voice acting is worse for some reason and the animation has this lack of quality to it. But with VLR because of the more static anime type poses of the characters, the stronger voice cast, and all those rabbit puns are wrapped in a more coherent story, it’s a game I would want to go back and play again.
In the last one, ZTD they try to bring back junpei and kanny, and sigma and phi, and add new characters and it just gets messy with the timeline jumping and all.
For the last game in the series I even bought the special edition watch that they have stuck on their wrist in the game, but I decided to wear it instead of leaving it on my shelf with the game, and I broke it, and now I have to live with the deep regret and guilt of that. LOL
A pity, those watches are valuable if you have the game to go with it. I agree with you, the second game of the three was by far the best. ZTD is ok, just not the classic VLR was. Zero Escape for a DS game is pretty good, but not as good as the 2nd.
Theresa: Dear Emily is just plain strange, but one of the few true horror games on the system. It has its faults, but I loved the game anyway.

So yeah in Theresia Dear Emile/Dear Martel (the martel section I am seriously stuck on. I know I’m close to beating it) I think the big complaint was that exploring often resulted in taking damage from traps. I could tell the original developers (whoever they be) were trying to balance the need to check and explore everything like in an adventure game, with the need to keep the player scared, and on edge for fear of dying and getting a game over.
Sadly it didn’t really result in the best horror-adventure game ever, but for a Japanese cell phone game that got ported to DS, and localized for the west, I mean you could do much much worse.

I recall when this game was released, this was a big deal. Players did not like this aspect of the game at all. The game would have done much better without this mechanic. I tolerated it, but I also hated it as much as everyone else.
