I have a question. I'm thinking about giving the Wild Arms series a shot in the near future. is Wild Arms 1 not even a good game in the first place and I should just buy the sequel instead?

Wild Arms are some of the most by the numbers JRPGs around-and that's saying something. The only reason people have played it in the past was to tide them over between better games. There's really no reason for you to go digging up that old time capsule.

Should I buy a GBA SP Mario Edition, or a GameCube?
( probably will end up buying both anyway, but I wanna hear opinions)

Fist fights have broken out over that very question, Knux. Some people swear by Alter Code F, others think it's a total pile of crap. The reviews I've found are just as polerized, but most of the negative reviews can be summed up "I got a remake of an old game but for some reason I didn't expect to encounter staple genre mechanics". Personally, I wouldn't spend the extra cash. While I like the series, it's never been that great (certainly not $40+ great!). It's more on par with Breath of Fire - charming and fun, but makes little effort to push the genre forward, and when it does, it tends to be flawed. I'd say grab the original, and wait for Alter Code F to make its way to PS2 Classics.

Thanks, I decided to just buy the PS1 Classic version of Wild Arms 1. There's no point spending extra money on a remake that may or may not be better than the original.

Anyway, I have another question. I'm thinking about buying Epic Mickey 2 down the road. But the question is if I should buy the PS3 or Wii version? I heard that the Wii version ironically runs the smoothest, but the PS3 version has trophies and HD. Also, I would probably have to buy PS Move since I want to use the same controls as the Wii version. Yes, I know the game got slammed by critics, but then again I rarely follow what the critics say anyway.

I don't care what critics say either, but the videos I watched are shoddy as hell - bad framerate, glitches, and obviously bad design and controls....if I were you, I'd go with the Wii version just because it'll likely be the cheapest and you won't have trophies to force you back if you don't like it. Though, I suppose a trophy would give you a much greater sense of satisfaction if you push through it...

OK, Fire Emblem: Awakening or King of Fighters XIII.

  • I've been having loads of fun with both games' demos.
  • FE:A is $40 new, while KoFXIII is only $30 new (I'd probably get Ikachan & Bloody Vampire with the extra $10).
  • I just finished up with 3 RPGs (KH:DDD, PM:SS, & Crimson Shroud), and the last fighter I've played was Dead or Alive Dimensions.
  • I know FE:A has DLC (even free during the first week). What about KoFXIII.
  • If I choose KoFXIII, should I get it for 360 or PS3? Our 360 has HDMI cables (meaning I can play it in HD, and the demo looks stunning), while the PS3's online is free.

Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

Get KOFXIII on PS3 so I can finally have someone on my level to play with. Everyone else on my friends list is too good. Oh, and there's two character DLC for KOF, but they're not that important. And KOFXIII is still free if you have Playstation Plus, just FYI.

Was wondering if I should get Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend or Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus. I hear both are great, but I also hear that Guilty Gear doesn't have many features and Blazblue relies heavily on corner combos which I think I'll dread.

EDIT: However, if RR529 does get KoF, I might just ignore those two listed above and get that. The more people you get to play with the better!

OK, so I'll probably get KoFXIII (PS3), if my GameStop has it in when I go in later this week.

Depends on what you're hearing. I know it as a flashy, but fun game that's a little short, way too easy to make much use of its more complex mechanics, and has a generic story that's well told. If that sounds like what you're hearing, then yeah.

That sounds about right apart from the mechanics part as there are some very hard parts of the game and overall I think its difficulty is balanced quite well.

Hey guys, I was thinking about buying Disgaea 1 down the road. But I was wondering which version is better, the PS2 or PSP version?

Knux

CanisWolfred

PSP version adds lots of new stuff, so go with that. There's basically no reason to go with the PS2 version anymore, unless you just don't like portables at all.

Oh, I quite love my portables. Just wanted to go with the best version, so thanks.
