Are Idolm@ster games really that good?

Are Idolm@ster games really that good?

Yeah one of them is.

If you are into anal sluts

FUCK IORI

Yes

Not really, but they let you connect with the characters pretty well.

I'd like to

Why are there no fat idols

Because singing and dancing are physically demanding activities.

...

I want to kiss her fivehead

Yes

DEKOZURI

the best to me

>tfw watched the anime but haven't played the game

starlight stage is the only good one. and maybe the original for nostalgia's sake

>tfw played the game but haven't watched the anime

My dick is not ready for Stella Stage

...

Why is a boy wearing a bikini?

A

How does one play these games in the west? Only one I saw on psn was some VR game

whoa can i play the whole game if i can read this pic

Honestly, this shit is not worth importing, you end up paying way too much in the end.

I'm addicted to Starlight Stage

In her asshole!

Can't you just get it through Japanese PSN?

Why are there not more brown idols?

So why did IM@S never come westward, but shitty LL did?

Yeah.

Still ends up being way more expensive than what you'd normally pay on a regular game (about 85 dollars judging by other releases), but still better than importing.

At this point you are still paying almost 100 dollars for a game. A digital one at that.

I want to lick Iori's pretty pink anus!

Yeah why is this?

they're not. its weeb shit and you are a weirdo

Will it have proper commus this time around?

The best games with Idols in them are the Ace Combat ones

>tfw playing IM@S is the big factor in motivating me to learn Japanese

They need voices so badly. There's way too many good voiceless idols.

I enjoy the PSP ones. since we never had a proper release (or proper fan translation of any of the games. The PSP ones aren't proper as some of the game is borked with fan patches). Starlight stage is a great mobile game and Puchimas is probably the best idolmaster anime.

Nah, they're repetitive crap.

Interactions, music and characters are all decent but gameplay is repetitive after you produce one or two idols.

>platinum stars is still 80 bucks on psn
I'll probably end up forking over the cash anyway once I get better at japanese but holy shit, this stuff is a lot steeper than I thought it'd be.

Is there a trap idol yet?

Gettng it from a used store in japan is cheaper then buying used games here. I bought im@s 2 and ofa about 1,5 year ago for 1000 yen plus about 700 yen shipping. That is like €15 for two games.

>yet
8 years ago

>he doesn't know

>CTRL-f anal queen: 0 results
WTF

LOOOOOOOOOADINGU LOADINGU

God I want to shove a remote controlled didlo up her butthole and play with it in public places.

Pretty much. As long as you are buying things legit, then knowing JP in the west barely helps you unless you are willing to pay almost 100 bucks per digital game, which not a lot of people are.

That's why my 3ds helped me much more than my ps4 in this regard. It's hackable.

I tried starlight stage but i absolutely hate how long you have to wait for a girl to get new content in the game. Plus it being gasha means you are not even certain you get the girl you want. The more i think about it the more it makes me rage and give up on it. it doesnt even have any of the 765 girls. I like the production value and the rhythm game for it but i just cant get into it.

>gameplay is repetitive after you produce one or two idols
Yeah, I produced Makoto then Yayoi and poor Haruka has been stuck in limbo for like a year.

You can buy it legit second hand if you are ok with that and spent like $25 including shipping on platinum stars.

A majority of the girls have common cards that you get pretty easily.

Poor Haruka is stuck in week 15 for two years now.

Doesn't help that each character technically has two routes, SP route and free-play route (which is just the routes from the original game).

It gets easier the more your producer rank goes up but even with cheats it's an overall dull experience. Shiny Festa is great though.

I haven't tried that yet but I'll keep it in mind, thanks. I guess I just never thought they'd be willing to ship used games overseas.

I liked the original, and the second one slightly less. It feels like the stories got heavily watered down after that.

I know i got the common and r cards and some commus and thats it. After that they throw in another 100 girls and all girls need their own special event story etc. Before you get some new stuff. I am not that patient i think i would have enjoyed it if they toned down the girls by a lot. I get that they want to hook people with lots of different flavors but i am boring i want a lot of 1 or 2 flavors so i can see why so many people love it.

Not all stores do it thats true. you need a proxy or a forwarder or stuff like that plenty of tutorials out there. But on rakuten there are some stores that focus on international buyers got platinum stars for ¥2000 with paypal payment options like half a year ago. Solarisjapan is a bit more expensive but also doesn't need a proxy but has more payment options.

because you need to be at your top physical condition to be able to perform for several hours

which aidoru would you masutaa?

I tried to get back into SP recently, this time playing on my Vita instead of an emulator, and holy fuck I hate most of the lessons. The one that pisses me off is the expression lesson. Now this fucking thing is from the arcade version - which has a touch screen - and the lesson itself is clearly made with touch screens in mind so trying to play it with a control stick is fucking torture. The real kicker is that the XBOX 360 version of iM@S 1 actually replaces that lesson with something that does work with a normal controller, but SP doesn't have it for whatever fucking reason.

...

Nope if you don't know how to read japanese don't even bother. Those games aren't rhythm games.

Tada!

>finally get to play IM@S2 because of new way to get CFW
>get ylod
When will they localized these games?

never

SACHIKO IS CUTE
