Help me pick what game I should get!

OkamiDen 16 36.36%
 
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together 16 36.36%
 
Hyperdimension Neptunia 12 27.27%
 
Total:44

K, I'm already getting Killzone 3 this month, but I am allowing myself to buy one other title as well.  However, I can't decide what to get!

I'm torn between these three:

OkamiDen

Okami is one of my favorite games of all time, and who wouldn't want more of that?  Everything I've seen of the art and music looks just as incredible as the original game, and Okami's brush gameplay should work incredibly well with touch controls.

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

After playing FFXII, I've been itching to give more of Matsuno's work a try.  I figured since I've never played Tactics Ogre, now would be an excellent time to actually do that.  Plus, I don't play my handhelds very often, and I find I'm more likely to complete handheld games if most of the gameplay is menu-based, like Pokemon as opposed to Phantom Hourglass.

Hyperdimension Neptunia

While it is an Idea Factory game, and I hear it has all the usual issues IF games have in regards to gameplay, I absolutely love everything about this game's style, setting, and plot.  Plus, you get the collector's edition for regular price.

So what should I choose?

And on a slightly unrelated note, does anybody here know much about the Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions?  I'd kinda like to get that on PSP eventually as well, but I hear the original is actually better in many ways.  Can anybody tell me exactly how the two compare to each other?

YOU LISTEN TO ME.

Tactics Ogre. Get it. Play it. Beat it. Love it.

Then you go onto your Wii, and you get Ogre Battle 64, and then you and me can spend a long time sighing wistfully about what could have been if Square Enix didn't freaking eat Quest.



This is stupid.  I can't see the results of my own poll without selecting one of the options.

smh vgchartz.  smh.

Edit:

And I totally expected that from you, Khuutra!  lol



I agree with Rol, Okamiden is the safest bet so that's probably what you should get.  Tactics Ogre is amazing by many accounts but it's still an unknown for you, and Hyperdimension is decent but almost definitely won't be as good for you as Okamiden would be.



...

Hummm, those are your only options? Out of those, I'd say Tactics Ogres.

@rol, tor:  It's hard to disagree with your logic, but khuutra is kinda scaring me.  >_>



HEY MAKINGMUSIC

This isn't about the "safest option", and it's not about familiar experiences!

Tactics Ogre is new to you! It's the progenitor of Final Fantasy Tactics, the real brainchild of Matsuno, and it's one of only three freaking games where his writing is allowed to flourish without being held in check by Square's demographic horse shit! You want the best writing in games? This is a place to start! You want the best turn-based strategy game in the business? You might as well see if this is it!

Expand your horizons! Experience something new! See something you've never seen before. Something beautiful.

Get Tactics Ogre because you owe it to yourself to experience the best games you can.



Okamiden. You said you enjoyed the original, and the other two games are certainly opinionative (i.e. not everyone enjoys them) so it's the safest bet



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Yeah yeah yeah, in short: Throw your money out of the window or better yet, put it all into a rocket that is fired into the sun.

Rol, you wouldn't know a high-quality new game experience if you put it in your Wii and played it for thirty hours.



I will buy Tactics Ogre and Okamiden in their respective PAL release weeks, i.e. Tactics Ogre first.

Game I'd buy first if I was in your situation: Easily Okamiden, the sequel to one of your most favorite games.
