So after some (internal:) back-n-forth - I went ahead & pre-ordered the CE of the PS3 Hakuoki game coming out on 5-7-14  :D

I've been playing the last PS4 FF XIV beta this weekend.  It's gonna be a LONG week until the game launches & I can play again.   :-\

So now *I'm* waiting on Sorcery Saga too, thanks once again to Kenny's bad influence.  :P

What landed you on my side of the fence  ;)

Did you read Kashell's review then?

What'd ya go with...vanilla or CE?

Speaking of CE's...ye-a-a-h; decided to downgrade my pre-order of the Hakuoki CE to the game-only version (*after* seeing what my extra $20 for the CE was getting me:)  :o

That'll teach me (maybe) to stop always just pre-ordering the CE by 'default'  8)

Argy - you should be getting those DanganRonpa boxes today; let me know how they are  ;D

The review + the fact that I saw how scarce it was already.  There's no Gamestop within 100 miles of me that has it, and they don't even offer it online anymore.   :o  Most other retailers never sold it to begin with, so...figured I'd better jump now.  And the only negative - if you can call it that - he said about the game in the review is that you have to like Rogue-likes to enjoy it.  And I do.  :)

Went with the CE because it was only $10 more, and I had a $10 Amazon credit anyway.  Goofy stuff included, but I do like unique collectables (I have such oddities as a Starfox Adventures car air freshener and a Steambot Chronicles mini harmonica in my swag collection).   

Even so, I may downgrade my Hakuoki as well - I forgot that it's a $20 difference on that one, was thinking it was only $10.  The extras in that set definitely don't look like they justify $20. 

I'll be sure to fill you in once the boxes arrive.  :D

You have good taste in games  ;D

Thanks! Haha.

I just started buying collector's editions as I am so deceived I didn't pick up some when I should have. (Bravely Default for exemple... :()

One game I'm kind of waiting for is a lesser known title, Raven's Cry. Should be hitting stores in May. It's a pirate themed game, and I've been wanting to play a good one for a while. I like to consider myself a supporter of TopWare, they make often underrated triple-a titles. They've been in some legal trouble with Lucas Arts over some stupid chess game for the past two years, but they're getting ready to release Raven's Cry finally. I hope it does at least as well as Two Worlds II did.

I ordered Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children Red Book from ebay. It's far from a pre-order since it's a gameboy color game, but I sure am waiting for it! :P I didn't know it existed before stumbling upon it while randomly browsing ebay. Seems like a crossover between Shin Megami Tensei and Pokemon.

I noticed this game just yesterday while looking at the Wikipedia article of all of Altus' games. Seems interesting!

Yeah, it definitely caught my interest! I just added all 3 versions (Red/Black/White book) to the database, I intend on buying them all eventually. But I'll start with just one for now :) They're pretty cheap, too.

I watched some YouTube videos late last year by a hardcore SMT fan who had pretty much every game in the series Japanese & US releases, and he went over them one by one giving a mini-review & explanation of them.  That's the first I had heard about those GBC games.  It's a 5-part video because he covers EVERYTHING SMT related - spin-offs, the works.  Very informative & interesting if you're a fan of the series.  Anyway, here's a link to part 2 where he talks about the Devil Children games:

Is there anyone else who is getting frustrated with the lack of info regarding Pier Solar HD's release? I have scoured Watermelon's website and forums and the only info I can find is that they "might" be releasing it the end of this month. I understand making a game like this takes time, and that is totally okay, but it would be nice to get some official updates.
