Difference between PS3 and PSV/PC version?
I have PS3 version of first game, it's pretty...bad, so is the PSV/PC version(Re;Birth1) improved a lot?

Basically the PS3 series of Neptunia went 1 -> 2 -> Victory.

The Rebirth series is a remake of the original series, using the Victory mechanics and a somewhat rewritten story (so that replayers would have something new to do). In my opinion the original game of the first series is the weakest of the lot, Victory was an excellent game and Rebirth 1 is definitely worth it.

Am I the only one who liked the first game of the series? Where else you can hear Nep-Nep saying the secret code "up up down down left whatever, secret code enter"? :D It's glorious!
I did love that, but the game balance had severe issues.

I had the first game... Combat was horrid with all the framedrops and the system it used was similar to some other games that were also snoresville.

Re;birth is a remake of the original game and they are nothing alike. Difference between vita and pc: graphics and technical stuff. That's it.

another thing it doesnt state is if the dlc added in or left our from the original version as you all forgot to state as well.

As someone who played a lot of both the original and the remake:

It's nearly unrecognizable.

Played Neptunia Victory and it was horrible (not including the piss poor framerate on ps3)

These dialogues, the story, the humor, the boring as **** gameplay...

I'm usually the right audience for this, but it was a mess.

But I love the characters. I'm so confused.

I didn't found it bad, just reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally slow, I was skipping EVERY attack animation just ebcause they take too long. I preffer the Mk2 one anyway.

U wot. The story and dialogues were good. And the gameplay while not perfect, was great.
I played the original HD and HD victory for PS3. story and gameplay was good.

No. I like the first game. My least favorites would have to be PP and Victory.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that. Thought the gameplay was ok, but I absolutely hated everyting else.

Similarities between the first PS3 game and Re;birth1:
Some of the characters are the same
Combat is turn based
3 characters are used in combat
Some of the opening dialogue is the same
The CG's are the same
Environments use a limited number of templates
A few plot points are the same

Everything else is different. Combat in Re;birth1 uses a modified version of the system used in Victory which does not resemble the system used in the first game at all. The vast majority of the dialogue is new and while the overall plot is the same, most of the events that take place are completely different.

Personally, I liked the item system from the first PS3 game and wish it was still around. I consider the gameplay from Mk.2 on to be inoffensive; not particularly fun, but not irritating either. The real draw of the main series is the humour and the characters, and appreciation of those is subjective, so it's very much a love it or hate it series, but with the first PS3 game being easier to hate due to its quirkier systems.

The CG's arent the same, the Nisa one is missing, and if I'm not wrong Gust's ones too.

Having play both PS3 and Re;Birth1, I somehow like first one except for two points:

1. You have to go through the tunnel everytime you went from one station to another, and you have to wait for two station to get close to each other before you can do so.

2. Encounter system is not random but based on a fixed number of steps you walk.

Not sure how it is done in English, but for the Japanese version there a a lot of reference to older games in 80-90s (I.E. Street Fighter 2, Tetris) in PS3 version and newer games and animate in PSV version. (I.E. God Eater, MSG Series)

I kind of agree with the gameplay being not that bad, but... I think the framerate killed it for me.

Hyperdimension victory is the best among the two previous games... MK2 was absolutely unplayable with the sp and ap and the original first neptune was pretty interesting but not as good as victory.
