Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Nintendo Switch?

NibelsnarfNoob

I'm happy, I've wanted Nintendo to go for home console quality on a portable for a while now. Not gonna get it day one unless there are at least 3 or so titles I really want (Splatoon & 2 others). Otherwise I'll be waiting to hear how it runs when its detached from the dock, and then decided.

Graphically if its close to Wii U quality when moblie that be amazing.

Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up

I'll probably get Yoshi's Wolly World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Yokai Watch. Devil Third was a must before, but with all the drama I'm waiting for gameplay and full reviews. edit: didn't realize Fatal Frame was eshop only, now I can't get it...

I want the Zero Suit Samus and Blue Yarn Yoshi amiibos, so hopefully amazon does the purchase window they did for the last wave.

Re: Poll: Do Video Game Reviews Need To Have A Score?

NibelsnarfNoob

If I wasn't going to get a game (regardless of score) I just go see the rating. If it is a game I'm on the fence about I check the rating (to see if learning more about the game is worth the time) and if it's positive I'll read the whole review and make a decision. Though sometimes I ignore reviews altogether since some games I enjoy won't get positive scores anyway ie. most Warriors games.

Very rarely do I buy games that I dislike because I usually follow coverage of the game from announcement until launch. So i generally know if I'm going to like the game or not. I've only bought maybe 4 games in the last 5+ years that I wasn't sure I'd enjoy. Dillon's rolling western which despite positive scores I didn't like at all, Izuma Eleven which dissapointed, Pokemon Battle Trozei was ok, and Conception II which I loved.

Re: Impressions: Nintendo Made The Right Call With Its Code Name S.T.E.A.M. Demo

@brandonbwii I think the weakspots had a lot of angle limits and some of the guns had lower accuracy, with the Crossbow Lion uses I hit weakpoints every time I aimed for one.
@steamtrain I agree, enemies also had the same weapon weakness as your characters (grenade users have no overwatch, Hounds with machine gun like fire have low accuracy with angled terrain and larger distances).
Enemy turn speed definitely could be better but it didn't bother me as much since the pacing is slow anyway.

I'm a huge strategy game fan (and FE fan) and I thought it was great. I loved how Line of sight is used. Learning how to position yourself before you end your turn so you can cover blind spots with overwatch attacks, using more mobile characters (Lion) to gain a bird's eye view of the map and see where enemies are moving etc. With perma-death not being a factor knowing your enemies movement range really isn't as important, knowing where they are is. Ambushes and spawn points are the main things that will kill you.

I was mostly worried about the gun camera controls but my worries were put to rest. The ABXY controls worked great for me and never really had a problem with accuracy (other than learning how each gun fires). I was definitely tempering my expectations with this until I could play it, and It was much much better than I expected. I definitely think this has a shot to be just as good if not better than FE: Awakening.

Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2015

NibelsnarfNoob

Monster Hunter 4U is already pre-ordered. Code Name: STEAM and Etrian Mystery Dungeon in March are the others I'm looking forward too. Sucks they come out within 3 days of each other, and I know I won't have time to play both (especially since Monster Hunter is either the same month or a month before).

Re: Single Player Campaign for Splatoon Detailed, Q2 2015 Release Planned

NibelsnarfNoob

YES! I really wanted to see more about Splatoon's single player campaign since it was announced. I really wanted a full single player mode for this, I hate shoot's without solo modes.

It looks even better than at E3 and I can't wait to see more of the customization options for characters. Splatoon is my top WiiU game for next year now (at least until SMT X Fire Emblem gets a release date).
