Topic: Shin Megami Tensei IV

Anyone who got the pre-order bonus: did you have to redeem a code with it? I think EB forgot to give mine and I didn't take notice.

I like it a lot, but still, the demon conversations are much harder early on than Strange Journey or Nocturne. I'd even say it's comparable to SMT1 and 2's negotiations - I seriously ran into a demon who took all of my items one request at a time, as well as most of my health and Macca, and then left without joining my party. I haven't had that happen so early on since SMT1, and naturally it got me killed...

Mine is still shipping (AMAZON HURRY UP!!!!!!!!) But I hope it gets here soon, I haven't even seen a trailer from this game, I want to experience it like I did with all the others.

Go on and guess how i'll name my MC,

Yeah, um I feel like I wasted $70 bucks (unknowningly spent an extra $20 for release day shipping, which Amazon didn't tell me till after it shipped ).

I died over five times, on easy mode, during the tutorials (couldn't find whatever thing I needed for the last part) till I flat out got game over. I was already reflecting on how RPGs aren't my strongest gaming points (if anything that category is probably among my weakest), so I really wasn't interested in the game anyway, just in the promotion.

Ah well, I have the limited edition so hopefully I can at least get my money back via Ebay... Unless this game just happens to have a high beginner's curve and it gets easier thus I'm not giving it enough chance?

Originally, I felt like I could be wasting my money, which I felt like I've done before with RPGs. I couldn't get into Pokemon Black 2, Warriors Oroshi 3 Hyper is way too complicated to start into the Warriors series, and I can't get into Monster Hunter. But I'm really hooked into Shin Megami Tensei IV. I can't wait to head into it some more.

I really like that the game allows you to change freely between easy and normal mode, I was dying every single battle on normal mode so I changed to easy but I like the option to go back to normal if I eventually become good at the game and easy becomes to easy

yessir got the $30 bucks already, just trying to decide what to spend it on hahaha XD

yea i got mine from gamestop and it was on the receipt, then just go into the games DLC menu and enter the code.

In case some of you guys didn't know you can put the $30 credit on you Wii U eShop instead of 3DS if you want. I did and bought Mega Man X while I was at it.

Anyone knows how to get the free costume?

Depends on where you got it from. GameStop prints their code on the bottom of the receipt.

I would have thought it was on the receipt, but I it wasn't there.

I didn't find the game that hard at all so far (over 6 hours in). I'm playing on the regular difficulty, too.

Maybe I'm just amazing at it. Or insanely lucky. I'm not having any of the problems others are having.

Whew, took me a minute to get going last night, but this game is absolutely amazing. I didn't have a lot of time to play yesterday due to work and sleeping off a stomach bug, but the four hours I played into it were awesome. Can't wait to get off and continue to play.

I got my $30 eShop credit almost instantly yesterday. Probably going to buy the four Street Pass games with it.

so my Pele just learned cough and i'm trying to figure out what the sick ailment affects? any help would be appreciated :3

edit: it seems like it causes the infected person/demon to take more damage but i'm really not sure lol D;

The cd sounds like I stepped right into Dracula's castle.........I love it!!

Amazon is shipping it out. I hope I get it soon. Looks amazing.

I hope you get it soon too Rali! it's an awesome game. <33

The 3DS is JRPG heaven right now! Considering the game's level of difficulty, I'm glad I figured out the proper way to play a SMT game from some of the spin-offs.

You are just too gullible LOL.

I found the negotiations early in the game to be comparable to past SMT titles. What I found was that you can safely lie once and refuse multiple times. I've mostly given up money and very little items to their demands.
