RSG publish DDP Resurrection in Europe

[xbl0x180]

Officially, it's only for PAL consoles. Being region-free for NTSC North American consoles is a bonus

[Himself]

Sweet. Time to rip it open and dig in.

[Deca]

Man what the balls I was expecting delivery today but apparently it JUST processed through New Jersey? >:T

[Bananamatic]

still not available anywhere here

[KNekoSpy]

Yeah, I'm probably not the only one worried that they'll get the copy in and their North American 360 rejects it D:

[postman]

I got mine today (New Jersey) and it works fine.

[xbl0x180]

Hey, didn't some kid wonder where his copy was and it wound up in Jersey? Postman?

[KNekoSpy]

I should be getting mine tomorrow. I selected Priority Mail in New Jersey.

[postman]

Mine's legit and paid for - nothing "wandered" over to my front door

Have to say the instruction book was a bit torn up, even though the game had the white sticker seal and shrink wrap - found that very odd. Also they package the game and audio CD in a one disc box, and just put them on top of each other. Weak.

No ketsuipachi then? On Espgaluda Black label the omake unlocks after you beat black label if I recall well, and Ketsuipachi is the omake, right

Ketsuipachi is not a bonus, no. It was never included in Daifukkatsu 1.5 and it was never released as DLC.

With adverts like this floating about, more than one person thought that ketsu-pachi would somehow be included in the EU DLC.

I mean, there is A.I striking Alice's pose next to the words Black Label.

Truth in advertising optional @ RSG?

[xbl0x180]

I was never given the impression they were going to go beyond releasing 1.5

[StarCreator]

More likely someone didn't realize the significance of the Black Label Arrange title card and used that instead of the correct one (with AI bending downwards and looking up menacingly with glowing eyes). Sometimes the ad guys don't really know the material they're working with.

In their defense, they probably just decided to use the BL Package Edition cover since it simply says "Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label". Nowhere on the cover does it actually say 'Arrange'.

[Drachenherz]

It arrived yesterday. (After I ordered it a few days before, canceled my order, ordered it again the day before yesterday... *hihihi*) And it was cheaper than first announced. My first preorder was 45 Swiss Francs, as I ordered it again, the price was only 39 Swiss Francs (at the same shop!)

The game itself... It's a blast to finally play it on the big screen instead of the iphone or the ipad.

Although I know the levels 1 - 5 more or less from the iPad version (played on hard), they play completely different now playing with a stick. What was expected.

I'm loving it so far, but the arrange modes, especially arrange b, are quite confusing. Didn't DL BL yet, but 1.51 - it feels like fun, but just played half a credit.

[Casper<3]

Well, I finally played today Black Label.

Played it on novice mode just in case...

WTF did my eyes see? Is that really novice mode? i had to burn 3 credits to complete it on strong auto-bomb mode...

And no sight of Ketsuipachi... I suppose is the Omake...

but WOW... just WOW... I supposed this would be awesome but not at this level.

In addition, using auto-bomb in black label is utterly worthless, why would you do that to yourself?

When you don't use it, you can use your bomb stock as hypers.

This has multiple bonus effects. 1, since your red gauge fills by holding down both focus and rapid shot (in case you didn't know) when you use a hyper, the red gauge will depleted once the hyper ends. ...or if you want to keep red gauge you can press the hyper button to cancel out of hyper and the red gauge will only be half depleted. (really useful on bosses)

[hwl]

So, it's time for this thread again, right? :f
Mine should arrive today.

We don't set out to mislead people, no.

It seems to me the text makes clear what is in the box and what is in the DLC. And if the *image* we are discussing may give the impression that ketsui is included, why does the adjacent *text*, "Black Label DLC", not contradict? Ketsui was not included in the Black Label DLC in Japan.

How does that advert make you think RSG was going to include "ketsupachi" ?? No offence but I would like to see it as much as the next person.. but please don't blame RSG they did nothing wrong here they never led you on.. from day 1 it was told ketsupachi probably wont be included.

That picture corresponds to ketsuipachi/black label retail (only because it includes ketsuipachi) and nothing else. If I didn't know beforehand that ketsuipachi wasn't coming out i would have believed it was from the ad.

I want ketsupachi as much as the next person but it's listed quite simply in point format what is to be included. It even has a heading "Product Features:" so not to confuse anyone.

i'm sure RSG only did it accidently, but the picture (the little one in the top right) is confusing as it specifically relates to the ketsui mode:

But you did mislead people, though. Information with room for contradiction or information without clarity, especially when you're selling someone something, is poor marketing. StarCreator covered the rest.

I'm not your audience, since I live in a PAL area and already own the JP DFK BL version, but the confusion is pretty obvious.

Oh, and please don't tell me "DLC" is a "product feature". It's like saying "if you buy this car, you can buy wheels for it".

[Alfred]

I want to apologise to Rising Star Games for the way some of these people are talking to you. I wish they would shut up.

Be happy you can play the game.

[krokodil_final]

Played some Arrange A, ranked 6 in the leaderboards after getting the two extends in stage 1. Then I pretty much fucked up. Arrange A, 1.51 and BL are my favorites so far.

[Elixir]

I think people are grossly misunderstanding my point of view here. It isn't like I'm against the PAL release; no, I merely have no way of playing it as I lack a PAL console (hence my comment about not being their audience). I think it's great that they're trying to keep the dead PAL gaming scene alive, actually. It's not as if I'm trying to come across as being unappreciative of their localization, but misleading information is still misleading information. Hell, I was the one who told someone that Ketsuipachi isn't included in the first place.

Be happy you can play the game.

And such comments are proof that people are willing to praise and support the company based entirely on the fact that "I get what I want". Well, that's great, but I've been happy that I've been able to play the game since Japanese release.

[Deca]

There's a quick and easy solution to this

Though honestly I have no idea how easy it actually is or isn't.

[bcass]

the dead PAL gaming scene

What do you mean by this?

[Casper<3]

People please just ignore Eldouchebagir. He's a 30 year old virgin, still living with his parents, spending all his free time wishing he was Japanese, reading photobooks about cats and studying every detail of amazon.jp.

He'll probably respond to this telling you I used to post as apple arcade (true) and that I spam play-asia links (true too, but not as often now that I've finished college and have a bit more money to my name).

RSG as pointed out by others, the image is very misleading but ...welcome to the world of CAVE fandom, you're in a world now where people pay $100+ for a cardboard box, they will pick a part and over (anal)yze every single detail again and again.

However I want to personally thank you guys for releasing the game. I bought a JP system specifically for this game, it's awesome and I'm glad you guys are giving so many more people the opportunity to play it. Thank you!
