Both, man, both!

Okay, that doesn't help you much, does it... er, let's see, Steambot Chronicles. Because I like 505 Game Street.

Atlelier Iris is a game in which you traverse boring dungeons and fight boring mosters with a boring battle system. Oh, and you invent stuff for some reason.

Steambot Chronicles, on the other hand, is one of the year's best and most original games. And you can sex your girlfriend tee hee

Pah, the hounds don't scare me. The demise of small European publishers of niché Japanese games, on the other hand...

You know, it's not quite the same.

I have a genuine moral dilemma here, and you guys have derailed the thread into homoerotic theatre.

Atelier Iris is great but I haven't played Steambot Chronicles. It has Chronicle in its name and Dark Chronicle (completely different game by different developer) is one of the best games ever, if that's any help.

Lucky, i've got this tune in my head.
Dunno, what you mean Murbal.

Anyway, i think Steambot is going to be my game for Christmas as i may have to move flat soon which means my foray into the next-gen is postponed for a few months.
Still, i've got loads to finish in this-gen so no big loss.

Atelier Iris. Steambot was too short, too hard in the wrong places, and I can't imagine wanting to replay it. But I don't own any lingerie, just Marks and Spencers finest.

Oh yeah. Iris is getting hard to find too, while Steambot is just out. Traditional RPG vs Wierd Mech kinda RPG thing.

Is there a dedicated Steambot thread? Just started it - initial impressions are indifferent.

Can someone give me an estimate of how long Steambot will take me to complete?

What about PAL version of Steambot Chronicles? 60 Hz option? Borders? Slowdown? And how's voice acting? (Original Japanese voices would be perfect.)
