Tell me right now why you aren't making those super powered freaks extinct?

Yeah, he gets the j-pop with the multiplier too.

youtube.com/watch?v=AjRqM3QAur8

The standard music doesn't really stand out too much, though I had the same issue with Gunvolt 1, so maybe others will like it more. It's serviceable.

Nice thanks!
For me the music I remember and still love was all the J-Pop so thats awesome can't for it to come out!

I have to admit I'm biased against getting the second game, because the first one failed to impress me. A lot of it had to do with Gunvolt's gameplay style (as well as the lackluster level design) that I simply didn't find it fun, so it's a little disheartening to hear that he's more of the same.

And even if Copen is fun, it's still hard for me to find the necessary justification to get this.

I dunno, I probably expected too much out of GV1 but IntiCreates' last few Mega Man titles were just so good it was hard not to.

.3ds when?

Fair enough. I'd either wait for a sale or pirate if that's an option for you if you're interested in Copen, but if the first one didn't wow you with Gunvolt's playstyle then you may be disappointed here. The level design is better though, I can say that.

is there any soundtracks out similar to Azure Phosphorescence for the other girl?

I think in Japan.

I was so pissed with how long we had to wait to even get that soundtrack. Was happy to get a physical version of it finally last month though.

I just started. Copen gameplay is weird, bumping into enemies goes against everything I learned from 2D shooters.

Yeah, I'll probably let the game sit for now and see how some of my colleagues like it, and judge for myself.

Play Y's 1/2.
Its about demon bumper cars

>zonda is actually a loli

boo. That's actually really shoehorned.

Bangai-O also works.
youtube.com/watch?v=Ex48JxVYHBc

Copen's gimmicks are as such

>High speed air dash, dashing into an enemy rebounds against them, locking on to them
>firing bullets and using this 'bullit dash' will consume a meter, which like gunvolt is restored by double tapping down
>when at full ammo you activate GV's aura thing which destroys projectiles
>holding up when air dashing will aim diagonally, if you hit the ceiling or a wall you'll rebound off of it and repeat this action repeatedly, allowing for insanely fast travel

Oh and he copies boss weapons.

>Teseo fishes for (you)s

Alright, which one of you fuckers was on the translation team?

I have played Ys 1 and 2. It's not a 2D shooter. Unless you use the fire magic all the time, I guess.

Does he actually say "(you)"?

Yes.

His first dialogue in the opening stage:

>This is Gunvolt? Dude must be pretty bored to show up here.
>I'm shocked really. Get it? "Shocked?"
>Can I get some (you)? No?

>

Yes.

He's doing that shit throughout his whole stage too.

RoRo/Lola doesn't have her own CD. The game has a two disc soundtrack that I think has full versions of the Muses' songs.

another game ruined by those retards. i can't believe they hired the same shitcan company that ruined the first one

pirate link when? like what the fuck. Yo-kai watch 2 is out a day early but this shit can't be found anywhere

Heh

I don't get it.

The only way I see this making sense is a programming error where "you" should be your picked gender or something.

(You)

It's on 3dsiso. Sadly it's not the Striker Pack version that has Gunvolt 1 with the cut dialog.

>Experience the Original Japanese Version! For the first time on the Nintendo 3DS, experience the original Japanese version of Azure Striker Gunvolt! The game now includes mid-stage dialogue that is fully voiced in Japanese with an updated English script that has been re-translated to better match the original Japanese version of the game.

Is this fixed for the first game too?

Well Teseo is supposed to be a shitposter who pisses everyone off.

At least they aren't throwing around made up swears.

Jesus that was insufferable in the first one.

They really aren't going to patch the digital version of the first, are they?

In the Striker Pack? Yeah.

Soon™

wew lad how meta. the translation is still garbage again

>They really aren't going to patch the digital version of the first, are they?

They aren't. Plans were dropped entirely last I checked. Go be a good goyim and buy the Striker Pack now.

Waiting to find out if GV1 in the Striker Pack has all the Steam additions or just the retranslation.

I was planning too anyway, because i'm a sucker like that, but that is kinda lame.

twitter.com/IntiCreatesEN/status/781320331348873216

>Steam additions
Wait, there were additions besides the re-translation?

holy shit Copen is fun

do I have to play GV

...

They've said that for months upon months now. It's dead Jim.

It added back in the in-game banter and dialog.

Just checked eShop to no avail so I can only assume the Strike Pack will have the non shit translation and full voice dub.

Why the fuck do they even remove dubs? It pisses me of that in ZX 1 they removed all but the SFX voices despite the entire game having dialogue, fuck, it's translated anyways so just keep the fucking thing.

Easy mode, hard mode, a bunch of alternate speedrun modes.

>It added back in the in-game banter and dialog.
Well I know that, that should all be in the Striker Pack.

For Gunvolt they did it to cut corners, but Inti Creates got mad and had it re-translated. Pretty sure they oversaw it happen with Gunvolt 2 to make sure that didn't happen again.

Oh neat, yeah it'd be cool to get that stuff.

It's not. It'll be there soon.

All the voice acting will be back in with the re-translated script.

as nice as the mid-stage dialogue is, it's actually a bit obstructive especially during boss battles

I know I can turn it off, but still

>It'll be there soon

They've said that for over a year. They first announced the 3DS version would get all the shit in August of 2015, and we're approaching October of 2016 now.

>For Gunvolt they did it to cut corners, but Inti Creates got mad and had it re-translated.

So it was the translators being lazy and not inti-creates themselves? huh

It's definitely not ideal to read on a first run when you have no idea what the boss is going to do.

I agree, I turn it off on replays and speed runs.

It's the principle of gutting it that irked me from the get go.

Yup. This whole franchise is a passion project on the part of Inti Creates. 8-4 are the ones that butchered it.

Yeah, I feel like that's not a good design choice and there's nothing you can do to improve on it.

Inti handed the project to them expecting them to do their jobs without needing a leash around their necks. One thing becomes another and Inti hears that 8-4 fucked the translation.

>companies still hire 8-4 after what they did to NieR, MH 3U/4U/Gen, Xenoblade X, Fire Emblem Awakening, Gunvolt, etc

What scares me even more is that 8-4 are doing the localization for Nier Automata, although SE said they have a "tight leash" on them.

I know but I really don't think it's solely Inti's fault. Maybe you've heard this before but I believe several developer's had had problems getting patches through with Nintendo on the eShop.

not having diagonal chat boxes and portraits in the bottom corners could be helpful

I feel a lot of Japanese games just don't know when to shut up, which is particularly noticeable in their game trailers these days.

Like, their culture and industry with voice acting makes it seem mandatory.

Exactly. Trying to deliver story like that while having a fast paced action game just doesn't work.

PC version when?
pls

Kid Icarus: Uprising did the same thing but much better, but dubbing the entire game in english is probably not possible with ASG budget.

I think that's the difference. An english dub would make it easier to just ignore them, and maybe put the dialogue on the bottom screen too.

>and maybe put the dialogue on the bottom screen too.
I think this alone would be fine enough, as it wouldn't clutter gameplay, and 3ds screens are close together enough that it should not be impossible to follow.

Both really good suggestions. I remember a tweet a long time ago suggested a dub for the first game but I'm guessing budget and time wouldn't allow it.

>want to support this
>Striker Pack comes out who knows when in Europe
I want retranslated GV1, damn it. I'm not buying 2 standalone and double-dipping for both games later. I hope it doesn't take forever.

They kinda softened Copen from the first game. He isn't trying to kill Gunvolt on sight and does have a not crazy side around his teammates.

lol xD

...

...

The whole character is kind of annoying, but the rest of the game seems fine.

Yeah, .3ds when?

Hopefully sooner than later.

>Page 9

XIAO IS BEST TRAP.
PROVE ME WRONG.

>Trap
Please do not ruin the shota

>Shovel Knight shoehorned in

Everyone knows Shovel Knight is a manslut user.

>Trap
>Ruining the shota
Trap is just an alt form for shotas, user.
Nothing wrong with not liking it but it's in no way ruining them

YCG was a mistake.

He's a little side boss that's only in there if you have the amiibo. Not surprised since they collaborated with Yacht Club on the physical version outside of Japan.

I'm also biased as fuck for Shovel Knight, so there's that. Either way, it seems like an inoffensive cameo that you wouldn't even know was there without the amiibo.

is he really in there?

Yes. Somewhat. He's a cameo boss.

You need an Amiibo to actually fight him

>Made a competent Kickstarter game
>Are actually honoring their stretch goals and putting out additional full campaigns for their game, for free to all people that bought the game
>Are actually bringing the physical version of Gunvolt 1 and 2 to other countries outside of Japan

>A mistake

Nah user. The cameo in Yooka Laylee feels shoehorned though, i'll give you that.

>no Shantae despite KOU doing the artwork for Pirate's Curse

That would've been a neat cameo, though I wonder how they'd have done it since the Shovel Knight one is completely reliant on an outside product. Maybe for Gunvolt 3 if/when that happens. I get the feeling that Wayforward, Yacht Club, and Inti Creates all like each other.

bump

Teseo's stage is a massive fucking pain to do on Reckless.

Not that user but both Milas and Asrock kicked my ass pretty hard.

Teseo's stage stood out at such a pain in the ass because of spikes, disappearing platforms, unkillable enemies and grenade launchers.

>Mfw Zonda suddenly appeared in the opening cutscene and shat all over those Sumeragi executives

I'm glad I avoided spoilers.

I havent done his yet.
I'm doing a dual run, so its one GV stage then one Copen stage and so on.
Might do him next then.

Same, i'm just going down the list, so that was the third Gunvolt stage I tackled. I got to play it at PAX so I somewhat knew what I was getting into, but it was still annoying.

>friend got the game and played in nip
>he said he was already dreading how Teseo would get localized because he's a shitposter
>mfw this is exactly what we both expected

I mean...what else was it gonna be?

bump

That's just it. There was no good way to go about it without it being cringe inducing and still close enough to the Japanese dialogue, but of course Cred Forums will blame the localizers for Teseo being a memeing asshole. I was even expecting his wwwwwww to get translated into lololololol or kekekekekek.

>Teseo is literally, LITERALLY a Cred Forums shitposter if he was an adept
This fucking game

I wanna fuck all her versions at the same time.

Part of me finds it endearing.

Another part finds it annoying.

That's how I feel about shitposters most of the time. I'd say they succeeded.

I figure I'll pick up the Striker pack. Especially with the new non-fucked-up translation.

>ASG had no crowdfunding and managed to get a sequel, drama CDs and an OVA
I actually feel bad for Inafune. It's just pathetic.

I hate the comparison of ASG to MN9. I understand why it happens but man, Inti just loves Gunvolt so much and they want to do a ton with it. There's so much love put into it.

>year ago
>Inti Creates says they're going to patch GV1 JP dub and missing text back into the international 3DS version
>patch never came out
>Striker Pack announced
>"exclusive" JP voices and updated script
yachtclubgames.com/striker-pack-press-kit/

Well fuck you too, Inti. Already ordered the Striker Pack.

One is a passion project that managed to find success. The other...had a lot more problems than one can count.

Isn't Inafune involved with ASG on some level anyway?

WHEN THE FUCK IS THE GUNVOLT 1 UPDATE COMING OUT

Very little from what I can tell. Sadly I feel like Inti used his name to get more attention on the title, but it feels like it backfired a bit with the MN9 fiasco.

Never ever. Buy the Striker Pack because it's an exclusive feature to it.

I'm gonna wait for the bundle release in the UK.

that can't be fucking real

Nigs, they said it's coming. I know it fucking sucks having to wait this long though. Only reason why it's already on Striker Pack is because they have more control over that than getting a patch through Nintendo I think.

yachtclubgames.com/striker-pack-press-kit/

>Exclusive Features:

Wouldn't surprise me, though it seems Gunvolt has benefited a little from MN9's failure since people are looking to it for their Mega Man fix.

...which Gunvolt really isn't like at all, but whatever.

twitter.com/IntiCreatesEN/status/781320331348873216

inticreates.com/gibril-asroc-gv2-updates/

Second paragraph.

The idea that it's 'exclusive' to the striker pack is ridiculous anyway. Steam version had the retranslation last year.

Getting patches and DLC through NoA is awful for smaller companies especially when English isn't their primary language, but it shouldn't take a year.
More likely this is just to boost sales for the physical version before releasing the patch.

Oddly enough, yeah. If you're looking for a Megaman-esque game, it might be your fix but you shouldn't expect Megaman exactly, like some people are. Inti wanted to make their own game that's obviously inspired but not just a copy-paste formula.

It's coming but buy the striker pack anyway, the second game deserves the money

This chick looks cool and grabs my attention.

Are the Gunvolt games good?

>chic
Well, there's one in that picture.

Yeah

>Chick

Post more Copen.

...

I was surprised by how many people thought Copen was a girl when trying out the demo at PAX.

Can do.

>I was surprised by how many people thought Copen was a girl when trying out the demo at PAX.
You too? Yeah, that was funny.

As you wish.

He doesn't look particularly girly to me and he's got a, should I say manly voice? It was strange.

So this time Copen gets all the porn and not Gunvolt?

I could excuse it until you hear the voice.

...

Agreed.

Copen is shit
why do you like that fag?

He seeks to purify the world.

He's the hero we need.

He is a Cred Forums reject.
Like Asrock.

The only front line fighter in the series we've really seen that ISN'T a Cred Forums reject is Gunvolt himself.

GV is pure.

So... uh... you have to sing to beat Zonda? That was pretty embarassing.

You serious right now?

What

Actually, no. Seems like just blowing in the mic works.

WHAT

Have you beaten the game yet?

NO

ok, where the fuck is the .3ds file

I don't know if you have to do that as Copen too, but to beat Zonda as Gunvolt you have to "sing" that song Lumen uses to ressurect GV in the 3DS mic. The lyrics and a microphone icon appear on the screen in the 3rd phase of the fight.

FUCK

That's kinda neat.

Fighting Zonda's second form is pretty tough.

Okay, that was really weird.

you don't have to do it as Copen
in fact, Zonda's special attack as Copen is completely different

>buying a game translated by 8-4
No thanks. Let me know when they retranslate the game again like the original

Well considering that the translation this time around didn't have anything cut, they probably won't retranslate it.

Then I am not touching it until a fan translation happen. Original localization was ass and the pc version has shit controls. No way am I supporting those fucking kikes

It's 8-4 again but they had supervision from the person who did the Steam retranslation. I wish he could have just translated the whole thing himself honestly, but that's not his main job.

Just pirate it if you want to play it, since I doubt a fan translation will happen.

I've played most of the game at this point, the translation is leagues about the one in the first 3DS Gunvolt translation.

Just to clarify,the guy at the beginning who uses memes such as (You) and oh hai mark and says WTF was just as much of a memer in the JP version,yes?

Why would I play a shitty translation? It isn't even worth pirating until it gets fixed by fans

Should have had him do it but I bet there will be shit he won't be allowed to fix

Someone told me this game comes with the first. Dat true?

Yes. He uses Japanese memes in the Japanese version to try and piss Gunvolt off, and English ones in the localized version to try and piss Gunvolt off.

not that guy but you don't seem to understand that there's nothing bad enough that it'll need to be fixed by fans

I haven't played the game yet but it seems like most of the critique is on Teseo's speech but he really does sound super annoying in Japanese. He's meant to be that way, as cringy as it is.

Only the physical version.

Only the physical retail copy, which is 30 bucks.

Digital is 15 bucks, but on sale for about 13 right now.

Then I won't touch the game period. Not until they rerelease it without 8-4's taint

Is Gunvolt 2 going to be on Steam too?

Alright user. Sorry you won't play it. Copen is fun.

Which translation? I wanted to play the pc version but I heard it did some dumb shit with the controls

Lots have people have asked about it and they said they're focusing on the 3DS version right now, but I don't doubt that'll end up on there since Gal*Gun just did. It's just a matter of when.

The Steam re-translation will be on the Striker Pack for GV1.

well I am sold. buying from amazon now

Whining about translations are for autists who care about generic anime story.

Translation teams that do anything for Nintendo games(I don't care that it's on Steam, it's a Nintendo game) always suck.

I think they want you to take your first level playthrough slow, reading then turn it off on second speedrun or rank runs. Still stupid, but I understand their thought process.

He tried to kill Gunvolt in the first scene they interact. That blast was to hit GV, GV just used it to hit the ship.

So is Copen not supposed to have any mid stage dialogue in his final gauntlet of stages?

*xir
Honestly, I don't mind their use of that pronoun. I mean Zonda literally shifts gender and sex.

Ah, well never mind then.

Same. Only a level or two in, but damn Zonda was a nice surprise.

He's not even talking about Zonda

Are there true ending collectibles again?
No Spoilers Please.

I know, sometimes it's really hard though because the gameplay encourages going fast so it's really contradictory?

There never was Gunvolt porn.

No

Not looking hard enough. There's not much, but it's out there.

why is she raping herself

Why not?

So does Ranma and they call him he, she or them all the time. It's fucking dumb

Fuck, I should have clicked the image. I saw the similar color scheme and assumed, my bad.

>EliseXElise(XElise) porn
>Not CopenXElise orgy porn.
Doesn't matter if it exists, it has to be good.

wait you wouldn't do yourself if you have the chance?

It actually exists. It's shit.

>Level with zombies is nothing but a cocktease for the best waifu of the first game
Fuck

>Wanting Copen in porn
user...
Unless he is the cumslut, it will always be shit.

In the second game too.

Well, there are two dominating Elise's, so it's basically him battling subElise to be the bigger cumslut

I didn't like Copen in part 1- he really resembles to Enzan/ Chaud in battle network. But now i get to play his route, I think he's alright. Maybe it's because of Rora's hype-as-fuck attitude that balances out Copen's stoic behaviour

Hope he wins then, otherwise he isn't even necessary there.

Well something real has gotta penetrate them eventually

>Copen
>Sticking his dick in something
>Not being the one getting the dicking.
user.
Even a dildo is a better choice.

For some reason I want to fuck her "evil" selves more than the normal one.

I think the chats help you at least see the redeeming parts of him. He cares a lot about his sister, maid, and robot waifu.

bump

good thing ive memorized most of lumens songs

Does Joule/Cyan feeling nervous affect anything gameplaywise?

...

>tfw you have an autograph from Elise's Japanese voice actress.

Oh fuck, you won that? Nice!

You lucky bastard

Was quite shocked that I actually won something, but yeah.

>changing Ghauri's IN DA HOUSE line
But why?

Having heard Reincarnation enough to memorise it isn't really something to be proud of, though.
Speaking of which, I'm slightly mad that Igniter is a respawn song. It's the best song in the game and it only plays if you fuck up. That doesn't seem right.

I haven't played the game yet but I'm sad about this as well.

I bought the soundtrack tho

So think we'll get a Gunvolt 3?

From what I've heard, sounds very likely. A long time ago I read that the series was planned to be a trilogy. The information was from a Korean fan event.

where?

it's out?

how'd they make a sequel if you died at the end of the last one?

On 3DS eShop. 10% off first week of release.

I see listings for it on ebay but crazy overpriced.

Ah, fuck that then. I'll play the waiting game with fangamer.

did you collect the 7 jewels from the adept stages?

collecting the 7 jewels and giving them to Joule gives you accss to the true ending

You didn't get the true ending.

it's on steam, vita and ps4 dude
are you being serious?

Yeah, I'm hoping they'll put it on there.

i have literally never seen the version on the right. and i played the 3ds version, did they patch it?

Not yet. If you play the mid-stage in Sinner's Row you'll see that dialogue on the right.

there are jewels?

One in each Sumeragi stage, that includes Zonda's.

yes, they are hidden on each adept stage

Death is a slap on the wrist.

Man, I wonder how they translated people calling Copen a siscon. Not confident they'll do a good job there.

Go fuck yourself shill

Finally being able to fight Zonda feels so good

Can I get the striker pack digitally?

Really? I was expecting shota trap.

Yeah, it's called buying ASG1 and ASG2 from the eShop. If you want the voices, they say they're adding them very soon. I know they've said that for literally years now, but it sounds like they've actually made some progress now.

No, it's only a physical cart.

Something like this?

One last bump.

Cred Forums is way too fast at times.

Zonda being reduced to a loli is kind of dumb though.

I preferred indiscernible gender who can tip the scales back and forth on which they look like when transformed. That was actually pretty clever despite the current year's SJW shit

>what if matoi was a boy

Yeah that's true, I do really love the genderbending stuff Zonda has and the loli form seems pretty bland in personality. I guess ASG1 Zonda might be too silly to take seriously as a final boss with the grim endings Inti likes to put in these games, though.

Holy shit, Gibril is annoying to fight
