Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
Well, my Wonder Pack was waiting for me in the mail this morning. I'm still not terribly sure why I bought it since I own the two original releases. Kind of overkill. Anyway, I just popped both of the game disks into my US 360, and, like the original releases, both disks are region-free.

Well, at least that solves that both games work the same as they did originally, lol. :3

Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
Is the Eschatos Wonder Price version region-free? Ginga Force looks cool, but I'd rather just get Eschatos.

Any and all of Qute's 360 Games are Reigon-Free, so don't worry about it.

Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
I have it for my US 360. It's not only region free, but it still has the Judgement Silversword games too.dave4shmups wrote:Is the Eschatos Wonder Price version region-free? Ginga Force looks cool, but I'd rather just get Eschatos.

I don't feel like I'm likely to convince anybody to drop extra monies, but Eschatos and Ginga Force are both absolutely amazing, groundbreaking shooters that deserve all the love in the world. Qute's pretty much at the top of my list of developers to watch right now.dave4shmups wrote:Is the Eschatos Wonder Price version region-free? Ginga Force looks cool, but I'd rather just get Eschatos.

Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
I believe you, but I just don't want to spend the money right now. Thanks to all who gave me the information on the Wonder Price version of Eschatos!Special World wrote:I don't feel like I'm likely to convince anybody to drop extra monies, but Eschatos and Ginga Force are both absolutely amazing, groundbreaking shooters that deserve all the love in the world.

Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
I plan to get Ginga Force eventually, but the problem I have is that the Wonder Pack with both games is priced similar to getting Ginga Force by itself. I already have Eschatos and just want to get Ginga Force by itself.

Why dont you put the eschatos up for sale, and get the wonder price pack... even if you get half the price back, you will be spending 3/4 of what you would have to pay for the individual games to get the pack.BrianC wrote:I plan to get Ginga Force eventually, but the problem I have is that the Wonder Pack with both games is priced similar to getting Ginga Force by itself.

Thanks, but I'll just wait and see for now. Not to mention that there's other stuff I plan to get like Saidaioujou and Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets too.nasty_wolverine wrote:Why dont you put the eschatos up for sale, and get the wonder price pack... even if you get half the price back, you will be spending 3/4 of what you would have to pay for the individual games to get the pack.BrianC wrote:I plan to get Ginga Force eventually, but the problem I have is that the Wonder Pack with both games is priced similar to getting Ginga Force by itself.

Wrote a review on Eschatos at HonestGamers. For anyone who still doesn't know much about this game. I try to sum it up. Sorry if the review is a little plain, I'm getting back into writing them with this.

If anybody's still on the fence about these games, here's my review of Ginga Force: http://catstronaut.wordpress.com/2013/0 ... nga-force/
And here's another article in which I praise Eschatos: http://catstronaut.wordpress.com/2012/1 ... -shooters/
Seriously can't give these games enough love. Taking a chance on Eschatos is one of the best gaming decisions I've ever made. These games are the real deal.

Finally got Ginga Force. I'm liking it so far.
Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
I caved in and bought this yesterday, most expensive game I ever bought. I'm really looking forward to play it. Which one should I try first by the way?

Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
Eschatos is a very 'pure' shooting experience. Incredible music & gameplay. I'd try that first.
Ginga Force builds off the main gameplay components of Eschatos with some unique RPG-ish elements such as weapon/shield leveling & customization.
Eschatos also has a tate mode whereas Ginga Force is vertizontal, so that may affect which game you dive into first. Have fun!

I'm borrowing Ginga Force to a friend and she's digging it as a shmup novice. So far she beat the first 2 stages on easy. I'm hype to see her get through it.. hehe.

Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
Since there was no unboxing video of this on youtube, I made my own. Sorry for the shaky camera but filming this was trickier than I thought. D:

Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
Did we ever establish whether the wonder price Ginga Force was region free?
According to Play Asia it aint, but I know they're a bit cagey about listing that kinda thing.

Re: Ginga Force & Eschatos Wonder Pack (June 13)
Play-Asia has it listed as "untested", which is what the "?" signifies. If it was confirmed locked, the "?" would have been replaced with a red circle with a horizontal white line going through it.Stevas wrote:Did we ever establish whether the wonder price Ginga Force was region free?
