https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84jyqSmOpXo There is something very sad going on here. The highest scoring game in the Neptunia franchise is Re;Birth1 on the PC at 72. The main releases on the PS3 score abysmally. The first is rated at the criminally wrong score of 45, while Neptunia mk2 scored a woefully low 53. Victory, the focus of this entry, managed a 54. The handheld games and other PC ports are by and large unable to penetrate a 70. Of course, they tend to rank higher on the user score. Neptunia Victory is the last installment released on the PS3. Its also the most refined of the trilogy. Its true that the first Neptunia was somewhat awkward, but it wasnt a bad game at all. To the contrary, its a very nice game for any JRPG fan with a PS3. However, Neptunia Victory is perhaps one of the finest RPGs on the console. The battles are always fun, as you can position characters in a 360 degree area. No random enemy encounters either - yet the critics have panned it for being repetitive again. Of course, the user score is higher. A 7.8 in fact. This is most likely because the user reviews are given by people who arent offended by pastel anime girls making off-colour jokes. It's a known fact that many game reviewers will hand out negative scores just because they dont like a type of game, and for this reason that Metacritic is a flawed site, with Neptunia Victorys poor scores being the perfect example.
