i am guessing that you can move freely left to right to avoiding enemy attack while waiting for skill to be full

New mini-game.

I'd like to preorder the limited edition for this game but I'm not quite sure where to go - only bought some stuff from time to time from amiami and cdjapan.
Does anyone know a good game import site that still has it in stock? Thanks in advance

That's... not exactly free movement in battle.

first review

- Black Rock Shooter: The Game (9/8/8/8, 33 points): The PSP action shooter, which got its start from a popular character seen around Japanese art sites, does remarkably well considering (or, maybe, because of) its nerdy roots. "The battles are simple but speedy, demanding snap decisions on your party," Famitsu wrote. "They're well-balanced, too, getting deeper as you combine your skills together. The story's a must-see, too, a perfect mix of humor and seriousness."

"It's basically a character-focused game," another writer admitted, "but the world and gameplay system are both well made nonetheless. There's not much outside the linear path the game takes, but it's speedy and well-balanced, especially for a game like this."

Nico channel confirmed it's running on a brand new EXCLUSIVE OFW.

Guess real time isn't always synonymous with free movement. It's real time in that, if you leave it on the table mid-battle to go to the washroom, you'll be dead by the time you come back.

AmiAmi sent out emails for money :P
can't wait for the game and the WRS Figma

[Fluegel]

I ordered the White version months ago, though I'll still probably get the ISO once it's patched. I don't want to upgrade my damn firmware when I just barely installed CFW 3 weeks ago.

[Fluegel]

playing it right now. Starts off with the into story, and a tutorial.

Moves are

Stick: aim
Square: Shoot
X: Guard
Circle: Straif left and right. It alternates depending on what you just slid too.
Triangle: Nothing that I can see

L: Item menu
R+the four buttons=a skill.


After that the scene you see in BRS's character movie is literally the start of the game.

The resistence so far seems to be multi culture pals as it has a person from either every race or stereo type. Like YOYOYO! DJ DARRY!

More Huke artwork is always good for me.

[Marcus H.]

Let me translate those.

The skills displayed on BRS's HUD are Burst Shot, Chaser Gun, Aggressor and Vortex. There are other skills available: Vulcannon, which is used by huke in his own play demo of the game, and War Blade (Ikusa Blade), which is basically a powerful slash using Black Blade.



MARION: I'm MARION. PHOBOS, [give us] a report of your current status.



Unknown Person: Now, run along.



Unknown Person: I want you to have this.



PHOBOS: PSS Call! Missy, can you hear me?



DARRY: Yo! Yo! Yo! DJ Darry, Darry's here! Nice to meet ya!

I think the second one should be: Now, pls escape

Ouch, It's "nigenasai". @_@ Well, we don't know the context of the conversation, so I'll just assume that the guy is the one responsible for taking care of BRS a long time ago, and he is looking over her.
Editing.

[Fluegel]

That guy is

Spoiler for aasdafgega:

Professor Gibson, the man who created her. She's an ACC, Accelerated Clone. Ros explains it in the opening to stage/chapter 3. It's just that no one seems to know who she's a clone of.

Most of the aliens keep confusing her for Gray. They also frequently mention "White".

Also one of the 1st things she does is point at the bill board I posted earlier and asks what it was. This same bill board keeps popping up over and over again. They refer to it/the girl as Love Sing.

I wouldn't be surprised to expect said person to be WRS.


I thought she was the other type of alien, not the illegal kind....And yes, the face lick scene was as hot as the trailer made it out to be.


MEAN WHILE, AT THE LEGION OF DOOM...




It's a amusing how she's always changing poses depending on what menu your in.




MY LITTLE BRS CAN'T BE THIS CUTE OR JEALOUS.



And I know she's a loli/DFL, but you don't really realize just HOW much of a loli she is until she's standing next to...well anyone else on the planet....


And the skills in my initial images are all preset and for the tutorial. You don't get them or 9999 hp. It's an even that takes place later in the game. There's dozens of skills. You get them either by finding them in chests, and mostly by completing records. Red means it's a useable skill used via the 4 slots. Blue means it's a passive skill that's always on.

Also in that shot it's "this is Marion". Frank Marion is the leader of the PSS. aka the old guy. The one standing with "stella" in the picture is Roscoe/Rothcol.

[Fluegel]

HAHAH, oh wow.

Stage 3-3

Spoiler for Spoilers:

As called it, all the PSS members die when their ship gets shot down. Which of course make BRS a sad BRS. But she then finds Rothcol who was alive and seemingly fine, and then has a nice talk with him. The lolicon of the group managed to avoid the death flag!!

....He then gets shot and literally turned into ash out of fucking NOWHERE while still standing. I was actually starting to like Rothcol, but god damn it happened so fast and out of the blue that it ended up hilarious

Spoiler for after that scene:

The battle happens with the 2 yellow aliens. The sister basically rides on the morons back. You see during one of their attacks that they're basically a S&M pair.

After that Naffe/bunny girl (she was the one who killed Rothcol) shows up, and kills the 2 yellow aliens by nuking the entire freaking area. BRS simply dropped all her gear and shielded the can of cherries Rothcol was handing to her with her body. Next scene is her finally eating them.






The next mission is basically damaged goods BRS. You can't go back and do any other missions/stages, and it's not even really a mission. You just slowly limp across a frozen wasteland, with her mentally breaking down, and then some flash backs. You can't even access the menu other than the map.

Also you unlock the Lost All costume
