Can you please stop spamming the site with Fortnite guides? I understand one or two “how to play” guides for new players but it’s getting out of hand. This is almost as bad as the Payday 2 guides that no one wanted.
@tamantayoshi Hahaha great gender identity joke! So original and underused- I wish we had more people like you willing to make fun of people’s identities online!
@Maxz Yeah, I probably should’ve qualified my argument more. I’m not denying the existence of insightful cinema (I did mention documentaries) but I don’t think film can provide the level of detail literature can. That detail is necessary for the most substantial, informed change in one’s worldview/opinion.
I think film has a very important place in culture and it can definitely improve us as people, but books still trump film by far in that category.
Team Book all the way. Reading hones your critical thinking skills and results in intellectual advancement. Watching movies will usually just dull your mental ability, unless its a documentary or something.

@Biff_ARMStrong Whew, sorry for the confusion but I thought it was clear I was being sarcastic. I really hope you don’t think what I said makes any sense.
@Biff_ARMStrong I know right! It’s so incredibly annoying when companies want to make it clear that they have zero tolerance for prejudice. Why can’t people just get off the hook for discriminatory comments? It’s like freedom of speech isn’t even a thing in modern society...
@Heavyarms55 I think that’s the point of mobile games. They aren’t supposed to compare to console games, they’re just fun when you’re on the train or waiting in line or something.
That is their purpose, and Nintendo apps fulfill this purpose amazingly. So you’re criticizing them for fulfilling their purpose and exceeding standards.
FEH is one of the best, if not the best app I’ve played. I’ve probably put in around 50-100 hours into it, although it’s tough to gauge. And all for free too!
That doesn’t compare to the 300+ hours I’ve put into Awakening and Fates, but it’s impressive and illustrates that Nintendo apps get the job done.
@belmont You’re right, there are a few major cliffhangers and unknowns. Luckily, most of them are addressed in SOJ, and the biggest one of all is set to be discussed in AA7.
Absolutely have been loving this app. IS keeps creating new events and content, so it’s so hard to get bored of.
I can’t help but wonder why NL wrote an article for these new characters though. There have been plenty of other additions (in terms of characters and gameplay changes), but the last article I remember on FEH was the CYL event.
@HeroponRiki I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but you do realize that Square Enix shovels out RPGs like there's no tomorrow?
A hit here or there (like Bravely Default) doesn't mean that every RPG they make will be a "big game." I've tried out many of them and they're typically mediocre.
Although once again the Bravely series is amazing.

Re: Random: Zelda Fan Spends 484 Hours Completing Every Game In The Series To 100%
@Vriess Did you read the article? He beat all 18 Zelda games in 484 hours, not just BOTW.
He 100% completed BOTW in 132 hours.
Re: Pokémon GO ‘Friends’ And Trading Services Are Now Live
Honestly, assuming Niantic’s “Harry Potter Go” is any good, now is not the time for me to get back into this game.
Maybe if they had released this a year or two ago it’d be a different story.
Re: Guide: Fortnite Camera Locations - Where To Dance In Front Of Different Film Cameras
@FoxyGlen Really? All of them appear in my feed. I just checked again to confirm.

Re: Nintendo Reveals the Ages of Pearl and Marina
@AlexOlney In-game text in the Japanese version of the game reveals that Pearl is older than Marina. We’ve known since launch.

Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Version 2.0 Is Available for Download
@Heavyarms55 I find this game so fun that I actually stopped playing Echoes for Heroes.
Okay, that’s only partially true. I did stop playing Echoes but only because I’m on the go so often that Heroes works for me
Super high quality and entertaining game with loads of new content regularly!
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Version 2.0 Is Available for Download
This is undeniably the best free mobile app on the market right now. I love it.

Re: Guide: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Top Tips And Tricks
@Proust I have no clue how a bunch of people took your comment as negative right off the bat.
Re: Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch)
@NaviAndMii I was just thinking about that. Skyrim, widely hailed as the greatest RPG of all time, was beaten by the measly pseudo-remakes US/UM.
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Gets Massive Update
@DarthXenos Takumi was on a banner for 9 days during the last Voting Gauntlet, so he wouldn't have been so hard to get if you saved up enough orbs.
If it makes you feel any better, he’s really only good for Skill Inheritance. Maybe Fujin Yumi+ will help him out.
Re: Review: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (3DS)
@Desa The problem is that the author didn’t justify his review in any way. We don’t have to play the game to know the rating is souped-up.
“Here are all the features of the game. Therefore, it deserves a 10/10!”
For such a high rating, the reviewer did not justify it with much opinion.

So many spelling errors... can’t tell if these players just can’t type or what...
Re: Switch Was the Best-Selling Platform for August 2017
The Switch undoubtedly has its flaws, but I'm so happy to see it off to a strong start.
That being said, it's not that amazing to beat two consoles that have been out for years already. Still promising news!
Re: Here, Have A Generous Helping Of Pokémon Ultra Sun And Ultra Moon News

Re: Two More Characters Are Confirmed For Fire Emblem Warriors
Really? Sakura, that little baby? Add Ike or someone who can actually fight.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Teaser Website Goes Live
@CrazedCavalier I was thinking the same thing. Why are strong female protagonists so rare in Nintendo games?
That never stopped me from loving Nintendo, and it probably never will. Still, it would be nice...
Re: First Impressions: Finding Our Way in Lost Sphear
We'll see... Looks decent, but there are so many amazing RPG's that I really need to be sure before buying one.
Re: Flight Triumphs Over Invisibility in the Splatoon 2 Splatfest
@bignrules Yay for randomly bringing politics into video games and making mass generalizations!
Re: Video: This Live-Action Fire Emblem Heroes TV Spot Is Epic With A Capital E
This was incredibly cringey and misrepresentative of the actual app.
Re: Square Enix Unveils a New Gameplay Trailer for Lost Sphear
@crackafreeze Setsuna art style combined with a direct knockoff of the Great Chasm from the Bravely series.
Re: Guide: Tips for Winning Splatoon 2's Splatfests
So... a guide to Turf War, then?
I mean, that should've been expected, but I can't imagine there are many people in need of this guide right now.
It would've made more sense to explain earning Splatfest titles and Sea Snails, explaining the 3 map system and Shifty Station, etc.
Re: Two Of Ash's Oldest Pals Are Returning In The Pokémon Sun And Moon Anime
The "thumbnail" of this article gives away that it's Misty and Brock, which I'd normally complain about, but who else would it'd be anyway...
Re: Report Suggests Nintendo Switch Manufacturing Could Hit 18 Million This Year
I love my Switch, so maybe I just don't have enough faith in them, but...
18 million? Doesn't that seem like a lot? Even too much more to sell in the next 6 months?
Re: Deals: Nintendo UK Opens Pokémon Ultra Sun And Moon Pre-Orders
