Re: Review: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS)

The game sounds better each passing moment. Can't wait to grab my download copy. I would love physical but I also love having my game on the go and ready to load.

And to people worrying about camera control, the game is perfectly playable with the touchscreen d-pad as the camera control. Especially since this game does not feature water combat, the combination of auto lock-on and the dpad camera will work perfectly.

I myself clocked more than 400 hours with this combination before I finally bought a CPP to experience better camera control (mainly water) and to save my L and R buttons from giving out.

The game was perfectly fine without the Circle Pad Pro XL. I played more than 400 hours with just the touch screen d-pad and the auto lock feature.

I did buy the CPP later as my shoulder buttons were taking quite a beating plus I wanted to try out a second circle pad. It did make the game better but did not have much of a difference in land combat. It was the underwater combat where it made a bigger difference, which has now been removed. Although I really like the CPP, seems more ergonomic to my hands plus the extra shoulder buttons as well as some protection it does offer to the 3DS.

I hope the next handheld console has a full on 2nd circle pad rather than the "C-stick" we will get now. Till then, I will stick to my 3DS XL and CPP XL combo for MH3U and 8 days later, MH4U!

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Sales Meet Capcom Expectations, Despite Overall Company Sales Being Down

I am definitely waiting with bated breath for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The series is absolutely amazing. To be honest, I could be very addicted to Monster Hunter considering I am unable to stop playing MH3U on 3DS and completing all the armours solo, while waiting for the next game to come out. Just completed all G-rank quests, now to forge all the weapons!

Time consuming, but fun!

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will definitely take it up a notch considering it has built in online!

Re: Feature: 20 Wii Games We'd Love To Download From The Wii U eShop - Part One

Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance together would be amazing. Path of Radiance does not use the analogue buttons of the GC controller in a way that couldn't be configured to the Wii U Gamepad. Plus since the Wii mode CAN technically run GC games, I don't see why they can't release games without specific analogue trigger function onto the eShop.

If they would release the Tellius series (preferably with the PoR saves to Radiant Dawn function available), I would buy them in an instant. They have been my favourite FE games and they could be given the spotlight again, since the newest FE is for the 3DS again.

Plus with only Radiant Dawn, it would be difficult to follow the storyline. RD after all continues from the ending of PoR.

Re: Poll: Nintendo's Year of Adventure on Wii U and 3DS Promises Hundreds of Immersive Gaming Hours

@Grumblevolcano

Yea there were some achievements for dying "n" number of times. And the last one required too many deaths so I got bored of deliberately killing myself at the superboss (everyone was level 99 so only it could do it fast enough)

Then revive party members (after they died) this many times.

And finally kill 5000+ something enemies.

I left these 3 achievements alone, did everything else, beat all superbosses, got amazing equipment and finished my game.

Edit: And one more. Get wiped out (everyone dead, respawn at last landmark) many many times.

Re: Poll: Nintendo's Year of Adventure on Wii U and 3DS Promises Hundreds of Immersive Gaming Hours

Out of all 4 of them, definitely Xenoblade Chronicles X. I like Legend of Zelda but I like RPGs like Xenoblade even more.

I am not even considering Xenoblade Chronicles 3D because
1) I am not buying a new New Nintendo 3DS anytime soon
2) I already beat Xenoblade 99.9% (the 0.1% were stupid achievements like die 1000s of times or something)

Xenoblade Chronicles X looks amazing and can't wait to try it out! Considering the original took 160 hours for full completion, I can't wait to see how long and awesome Xenoblade X is. Plus the game looks amazing (except the character models) and bigger than ever.

And controllable and transformable Mechas!

Still looking forward to Zelda U and Majora's Mask 3D as well though. But if Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate was in the poll it would have definitely taken the crown.

MH4U >>>>> others

Re: Hands On: We Check Out The New Nintendo 3DS XL 

LasermasterA

The New Nintendo 3DS XL looks amazing but I don't think I will purchase one either. Plus I don't think Nintendo will want to fragment their userbase with system sellers as N3DS exclusives.

We will probably get more ports like Xenoblade Chronicles.

I just hope that games that have that C-stick support include CPP support. NOT like what they did with Smash 3DS.

Thank goodness MH4U still supports the CPP. Not that I really need it much with water combat gone but still better than the touchscreen d-pad.

@sinalefa

The issue was only present in the regular sized 3DS. So our XLs are safe from getting scratches that way

Re: Capcom Outlines Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Localisation Challenges

@Falk_Sturmfels
Yea it is pretty long. I managed to get my hands on the Wii U version of the game for a bit of local play with my sister and online play but now that I am back at university, I have only the 3DS version at hand. Trying to get to HR 100, at 89 now. 999 would be an absolute pain for one to achieve solo.

Trying to solo Alatreon solo as well as some other event quests. Thank goodness MH4U has online otherwise would have taken 100s of hours again. This time I can spend that time killing tons of monsters online

Re: Capcom Outlines Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Localisation Challenges

LasermasterA

Well if the tutorials are short, I can get Monster Hunting even faster! Can't wait for MH4U especially now that online is in the 3DS version. Atleast I won't have to struggle to complete all G rank quests and get to HR 80 all by myself again

Plus I hope to get the demo soon, hear that it has local play. Would be useful to entice my currently uninterested friends to the franchise.

Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2015

LasermasterA

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate no doubt. That game is going to steal 100s of hours of my life. MH3U on the 3DS was an amazing experience and getting the Wii U version lately after completing all G quests, I am having even more fun than before online!

Can't wait to play online as well as local on MH4U. Or just lone wolf it out

Also I would love to play Majora's Mask 3D as well as Project S.T.E.A.M! This year is definitely going to be busy with great releases on the 3DS and Wii U together!

Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2015

LasermasterA

I am most hyped up for Xenoblade Chronicles X. I absolutely loved the original game and this one looks amazing! Can't wait to get some of my RPG fix with that!

Also Devil's Third seems interesting considering it is Itagaki's first venture after he left Team Ninja. Considering NG3 was a relative train-wreck (Razor's Edge at-least solved some problems), I am hoping this newer different game turns out awesome.

Re: Review: Mega Man Zero (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)

LasermasterA

Well the bad thing is that you can't even form subtanks if you want to have a good rating. Last time I played Megaman Zero, the only elves I used were the subtank elves. I made them just before the last boss fight. After I beat the game, my rating which had been at A was dropped to F. And it was stuck at F during a hard new game+ >.<.

Yeah I didn't replay it that time. Regretted making those subtanks.

@unrandomsam

Hmm. I have heard that the collection mainly just picks 'em up and puts them all in a single cartridge. Same games, no bottom screen usage.

Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (3DS eShop)

LasermasterA

@Einherjar
Cosma? Well it does make sense considering her origins.

I agree. Localization should keep names intact if possible cause otherwise things get complicated. An easy example is Isaac of GS himself who was Robin in Japanese, Isaac in English whereas Robin of Awakening is Robin in English and Reflet in Japanese. It is indeed confusing.

I hope we get a trio set of Ace Attorney Investigations 1 & 2 (the second which never got localized) and Justice for All to have all of the Ace Attorney games on the 3DS. If not, I guess I will have to try out the fan translation of Ace Attorney Investigations 2.

Re: Review: Mega Man Zero (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)

LasermasterA

Great game, great score.

This is just the first game which was a bit unpolished around the edges with the cyber elves mechanism and grinding being a bit extreme. The sequel Megaman Zero really deals away with most problems and introduces Forms and all. Can't wait for the whole series to get around on the eShop. The whole series had great quality. And great fun. But it is indeed hard to maintain a rank above B, especially if you die once or use a cyber elf.

Re: Capcom's Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Infographic Shows Off the Size of the Game's Challenges

LasermasterA

Wow! Can't wait for this game. Recently I killed the last monster in MH3U on 3DS, killing the abyssal lagiacrus at last! Just have to get some more armour and I would have done 500+ hours solo.

This looks great. Especially the huge monster, finally a monster that is colossal (as big as an island) after that one monster in Frontier!

I might just buy the Wii U version to get a taste of online before I get MH4U.

Nah the government was just being led around like an idiot. Belial won't be around to enjoy it. Chaotic Good path for the win!

How did it come to an SMT Overclocked discussion anyway? I love that game! Although it manages to downplay a grim situation behind bright colours and whatnot.

On topic, apparently this Amiibo ID didn't work.

Re: Atlus Confirms Etrian Odyssey X Mystery Dungeon and Reveals Etrian Odyssey V Teaser

LasermasterA

@TheWPCTraveler

Having it on the Wii U would be amazing! That console needs more RPGs. Anyway I am getting a Wii U this week so can't wait to see what EOV comes out on, 3DS or Wii U.

Atlus will release it on one of these 2. Any other system won't suit the map drawing and everything. Plus the last 4 games and the 2 remakes have been on the Nintendo DS and then the Nintendo 3DS family, so they will probably stick to Nintendo.

Re: Atlus Confirms Etrian Odyssey X Mystery Dungeon and Reveals Etrian Odyssey V Teaser

LasermasterA

@ricklongo
Yea that was disappointing. Nintendo should have really bought Atlus. Although it probably would have brought outrage from the Sony fans who have played the Persona games and the earlier games like DDS, SMT3, etc.

Atleast Sega does publish games on Nintendo. The recent Sonic is a failed example though sadly.

But still, I look forward to EOV! I hope it is on 3DS or Wii U.

Re: Anniversary: The Nintendo DS is Now 10 Years Old

LasermasterA

Great system. Had an amazing library of games.

Without it, I wouldn't have had two of my favourite games:
TWEWY and
SMT: Devil Survivor

Headphones wearing protagonists FTW! And also the DS!

To be honest, I didn't even know there was a DS "Fat" till today.

Nine-tendolife

Jokes aside, this sounds amazing. I will have to try it since I love Etrian Odyssey and the mapping feature and the RPG like combat. I have not played Persona 3 and 4 yet so I might give those a try before I pick this up.

Nice comprehensive review, I know what I will get and I can't wait for it!

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Explains Why Mewtwo Isn't Paid DLC in Smash Bros.

LasermasterA

@LightSamus
Don't worry. This doesn't discredit DLC anyway, Nintendo is probably just being cautious. I have wanted Isaac since Brawl and I still think he has a chance. Him being totally absent is just totally off, while Dark Dawn got a track on Palutena's temple.

I will buy the game anyway. Who knows, maybe Isaac will be free DLC for promoting GS4? Or maybe a huge DLC pack later on like MK8 got. After all Sakurai did like Fallout 3's DLC scheme. They are probably just testing the waters.

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th November (North America)

LasermasterA

@ModestFan93
Nope nothing at all. Isaac currently has no trophy in Smash Bros 4 neither an assist trophy. Websites like GameXplain which received a really early copy have stated that they haven't found any hidden AT and no news of Isaac in the trophy section either.

Curiously, the Overworld theme from Dark Dawn was found as an unlockable (and new) track on Palutena's temple whereas the Golden Sun Battle Theme Remix was already seen returning on Norfair.

Also Isaac is a possible combination for the "randomly" generated games but this is not that significant considering Isaac is not such an uncommon name. Even the name Krool was available in Brawl but K. Rool is still not playable.
