I was afraid this one wouldn't review well, it's obviously not for everyone. I've been really enjoying it (on Switch), despite the intense difficulty. It's just got such a hands-off approach, which I guess I sort of miss these days. I've played many games over many genres through my life, and whether or not they're super hand-holdy, it's almost always easy for me to complete games due to genre familiarity. This brings me back to a time where I didn't know how to play every game that was put in front of me, and I'm loving it. I haven't beat the game yet, and I'm always curious as to what kind of eerily beautiful environment I'll find myself in next, providing I have the skill to make it there.
Carlos, if you're reading this, I like your game. I hope Nintendolife does as well, but I'm not confident either way.
Wow, this game isn't even half as inappropriate as, say, GTA which actually has sex in it as a feature. Akiba's Trip doesn't even have nudity, yet some of you in the comments are acting all sorts of appalled. Prudes, man. Even if there weren't significantly more inappropriate games on the market to compare AT to it wouldn't be half as atrocious as folks are making it out to be.
The game looks decent enough (never played), but Mr. Fish is just such an awful person it makes me want to dislike his game, too. If only Cave Story were available for PSN, that's a game I can get behind without the nasty aftertaste.
I know how you feel, Sammy. I've spent too much time just staring at my backlog instead of chipping away at it. However these days I'm playing through Trails in the Sky for PSP since it was announced that the sequel will be released this year. I hope that one of you will be reviewing that for us before long! I'm also playing through Ys I from Chronicles on nightmare mode just for kicks. I've just been in a Falcom sort of mood lately.
From where does the concept of this game originate? There's a job in WTF for PSP with the same one. It's just slower and simpler, but you still recruit a bunch of folks from buildings in town.
Lord, folks are silly. Nobody should be offended by the title unless the offended consider themselves hos. In which case, they deserve to be ridiculed.
I was waiting for the site's review, excellent work, Nathan! I already know this is a great game, I just enjoy reading reviews of games I enjoyed. I have yet to get a Vita, but this will be my first game for it. I have great memories of the PS2 version.

Re: Out This Week: Joe Danger 2, Shake Spears, and a New PSP Game
Been looking forward to Brandish for quite a bit. I was surprised and pretty stoked when I heard that Xseed took up the task of translating.
Re: Rumour: Sony Employee Allegedly Pegs PS4 DLNA for Early 2015
I'd just assumed that the PS4 already did those things. >___>

Re: Who Would Win Wednesdays: Teddie vs. Kuma
I'd say Teddie, just because of his persona. If it were strictly paw-to-paw combat, then Kuma would obviously take the win.
Re: Child of Light Points a Beacon in the Direction of PS Vita
Terrific news!
Re: Japan Keeps on Giving as Tales of Hearts R is Confirmed for a Western Vita Release
I didn't want to believe the rumors for fear of disappointment. I am now a very happy guy. So much love for the series.
Re: PS3's True Interactive Movie Is Coming This Spring
Anything Suda on Vita would be appreciated.
Re: This PS3 and Vita Game Allows You to Strip Strangers to Their Underwear
I trust Xseed. Not enough to purchase this without some good reviews, but it just can't be another one of THOSE games (Monpiece!).

Re: Review: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (PlayStation 3)
If this is MercurySteam's attempt to complete their take on the series, is there any possibility that Castlevania will return to Iga?

Re: Store Update: 22nd October 2013 (North America)
Not a good day for Vita-only folks, though there aren't many of us out there.
Re: Exclusive: Luc Bernard's Reaper Drops Its Scythe on PlayStation Vita
Well it looks gorgeous, I hope it turns out well. I like the sound of card collecting, but I don't like the sound of DLC.
Re: Don't Worry, That Missing Rayman Legends Content Is Totally Coming to Vita
Ubisoft is so sweet!
Re: Bluepoint Games Is Bringing a PlayStation Classic to Current Consoles
Whatever it is, I'm sure I will love it. I hope it comes to Vita!
Re: Count Up Those Gold Trophies, You're Going to Need Them
Dang. I have six. Oh well, trinkets are cool and all, but I'd feel more left out if you could use trophies for PSN goodies.

Re: Out Today: Persona 4 Golden Brightens Up UK Retail
@zipmon Agreed!
Re: Review: Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (PlayStation 3)
This game is beautiful, I'm sad not owning a PS3 right now.
Re: Killer Is Dead Stars an Assassin with an Outrageous Arm
I wanna know who Mondo Zappa is named after. I can make guesses.
Re: Feature: Castlevania's Gory PlayStation Bloodline
We're never gonna see the battle of 1999. Unless IGA returns, Castlevania is dead to me.
Re: Don Your Sunglasses for New Muramasa Footage
If this doesn't come to America, I'm going to turn life into my hack-n-slash game. Might wanna stay indoors for that, fellas.
Re: Store Update: 8th January 2013 (North America)
It's a crime that those Sega collections aren't available on Vita. I wanna play some Wonder Boy, dammit!

Re: Review: Black Knight Sword (PlayStation Network)
It's beautiful! No Vita release?
Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Hits the PSN This Week
I would love it if San Andreas came to Vita.
Re: Phantasy Star Online 2 Travels to Vita on 28th February in Japan
The only MMO series I ever enjoyed, for some reason.
Re: Rub Pretty Ladies with Compile Heart's Latest Vita Game
Oh, Japan. I love you, but you weird me out sometimes.
Re: This PlayStation All-Stars Commercial Is Really Weird
C'mon, I'd also be horrified if I saw a big, walking burlap sack.
