ATTENTION DTOIDERS: If you don't own this game yet, the price drop for it necessitates it being in your collection NOW.
Y0j1mb0 | 12:15 PM on 08.07.2009 43 comments




If my scruffy sunburned visage above hasn't clued you in on which game you need to buy, you need glasses. The game in question is none other than Shin Megami Tensei's Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. Aside from having one of the longest titles ever, the game is friggin' awesome to boot. As our residential Atlus fanatic and Dtoid editor, Dale put it:

"Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon is a title that breaks away from old role-playing conventions to introduce a fast-paced action game play that anyone can enjoy. It's a fun, approachable game set in an interesting world, and it tells a great story that you won't have to spend 80+ hours to finish."

For the full Dtoid Review check it out here, here is a spoiler. It got a 9 rating.

So what's the price drop? Five bucks. I know, I know, it doesn't seem like a lot of money off it for you to consider purchasing it but I beg to differ.Gamestop apparently still have plenty in stock and it's the special edition with the Jack Frost plushie. That plushie is sexy. Not only that but even if by chance you hate super awesome RPGs, buy it anyway and hoard it like Wry Guy is probably doing now. On Ebay right now the price of this game is going up to Eighty bucks. That's an instant profit should you choose to sell your copy of it instead of playing it ( The Horror! ). Here's the Gamestop ad.



The store around my neck of the woods had three left. I bought an extra copy. I urge you ladies & gentlemen of Destructoid to do likewise and snag you a copy or two and give one as a gift to your fellow gamer for Christmas or something. Did I mention how kickass this game is? It's kickass.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

That does sound pretty grand, and I think that plushie would look quite nice hanging around the apartment. A trip to GS may be in order...

Maybe I'll buy another to actually play. I've been hoarding the copy I bought at launch to fleece a short-sighted Mega Ten fan at a later date. I would like to play it, but those games appreciate like a mo fo.

Just checked... no such deal at Canadian Gamestop/EB Games stores. :(

Is it bad that rather than seeing the game as $35 with a free plushie, I see it the other way around? Because I'd pay that much for that plushie.

From what I've seen of the teaser trailer the gameplay looks like Kingdom Hearts/Tales action RPG sorta stuff am I about right in this assumption? Also do I need to have played the first game to understand this one?

@The Bez:

You do not need to play the 1st game to get into this game. It is not a prerequisite. As for the gameplay check out Dale's thorough review of it in his review linked above. It will answer all of your queries. I LOVE it.

I was considering buying a second copy just to sell in the future. But, I'm a nice guy and figured "what happens if I buy the last copy in the store and screw someone out of getting in on this deal?"

Damn me and my conscience.

I got the game and thought it wasn't super amazing. Though it is a good deal at that price.

I believe that the plushie is Raiho, not Jack Frost. Its annoying that the mascot plushie is a demon that is found through an obscure side mission two cities over from where the actual plot is happening.

I just have to note that the title "Shin Megami Tensei's Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon" is almost as bad as "Monster Hunter Freedom Unite". Except I can pronounce the latter. :(

There is a convenience store down the street from my house that sells some xbox and ps2 games, and this was in their case for $14.99, but no plushie.

I ordered it back when it came out, I'm actually surprised that they still have them in stock with the plushie, since they were supposed to be a limited run.

I'd love to buy it, but if I had time to play it I would have bought it at the original price. I hope someone wakes up to the reality that JRPGs need to be fucking shorter so that I can play them again.
