AntiWinner22 Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 How hard are they to understand? I REALLY, REALLY want to get GunGrave OverDose, but it is currently only slated to be released in Japan. Is it really that difficult to understand a game in Japanese? I know that most games have english menus anyways, but still...? Anon.
Gryph Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 When I first read Japanese imports, the first thing that came to head was Nissan Skyline GTR. Well Japanese isn't a European language so it isn't based on the same alphabet so it'll be completely different. I'm sure the menus will be in English, but I'm pretty sure the text all be Japanese. And you can't really guess what it's saying... You could play the game and make up what their saying. Kind of like Mystery Science Theatre 3000.
Prican25 Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 well if you got a modchip in your ps2, you can download the game and play it can't wait to get my hands on that new gungrave
Agozer Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 I just bought the original GunGrave....that game is cool. A poor man's Devil May Cry

Anon.this site also sells japanese imports..ones that might probably interest you too. The only difference in price is that japanese games cost 10$ more, but worth it.

Wizard Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 If you dont want the legal hassle you could get a mod chip that locks out the copyboot protection so you cant play Burned games. Burning PS2 games is bad in the long run because you need a DVD+-R drive to burn, cuz some games arent 700 megs.
Rag Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 I've played some Jap games and I really couldnt. It all depends on the game though. If its just go shoot this guy or beat em up or something like that, it shouldnt be too tough. Word to wise... never play RPG's in Jap unless you speak it I've tryed it and its too hard, the game was Radical Dreamers.
kaioshade Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 Some games are very easy to get into even if they are japanese language. Shooters in particular are easy imports. Most of them are almost 100% in english. Aside from 3 screens Dodonpachi Daioujou is 100% english. All the important things (options, menus) are usually in english. Fighters are pretty easy to get into as well. SVC Chaos for ps2 is just about 100% english as well. You can muck your way through racing games. But as Rag said, dont even try to attempy a rpg without japanese knowledge. It is very frustrating, but kind of fun to stumble around for a bit.
ForceX Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 I recommend Lik-Sang as well...They have awesome customer service and a great range of products...
MaxBebop Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) I got Biohazard Outbreak.... The only Japanese import game I understood was Bouncer from Square.... it had both english and Japanese menus & voices.... Oh yeah Onimusha 3 is out and so is the Soul contrller....

Weirdy Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 ey, if you're using a boot disk or mod chip on a ps2 and you're playing an import, do you have to use a japanese memory card?
Prican25 Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) no, memory cards we got in usa are the same as japans (made from there too ). also someone said that you need a dvd+r drive to burn game and thats 100% wrong. i burn my games with pioneer's 105/A05 4x dvd-r burner and the games work perfectly. its dvd+r that doesn't read well in most ps2's but now the newset ps2 has +r support. so if you're gonna burn a dvd ps2 game, i highly suggest -r. all new burners in the market have support for both +r and -r now so theres less worry on which format you perfer (i highly suggest pioneers latest burner the A07/107 in which using a modified firmware you can burn 4x media at 8x ).
