Re: Natsume Talks About its Future Plans for the 3DS

@Platina

Yeah those graphics are garbage ( seriously it looks like a bad flash game)and Lost valley didn't exactly inspire confidence in their ability to make good game...

-dodgy controls
-half the amount of marriage candidates compared to most any harvest moon game.
-no village
-etc.

Also IIRC the game is free to play which could easily make for a frustrating experience with not enough stamina/money or whatever unless you pay up...

Also the dialogue in a new beginning was mind numbingly dull. Xseed is a much better localizer if rune factory 4 is anything to go by...

@Desrever

I was about to say that people like you are the reason they went out of business...but I didn't notice the "so I went out and bought a hard copy" part the first time I read your post XD.

Curses be upon modern gaming trends(damn smartphones and 100 million dollar budget games with stupid amounts of advertising)

There is barely any market for medium size devs on traditional hardware anymore...

Re: Nintendo Issues Statement On Side Quest Changes In Bravely Second

Pikachupwnage

This is actually a good response.

It could be argued they went the wrong way about it but this is not some situation where you can just scream about some censorship boogeyman.

They tried to improve the side quests based on player feedback. Of course half the Internet is going to do the ol "Nintendo doesn't think westerns can handle this kind of thing" nonsense.

Now the costume changes are silly I think we can agree on that.

Re: Feature: A Year in Development - Renegade Kid

RK kinda lost my interest for a couple years.

Mutant Mudds was cool but got lost in my backlog and none of their output save moon appealed to me really(and the episodic format was crap. Shoulda been one game from the start. Would've made more money that way I say)

But dementium 1/2 and Treasurenaughts are on my list. 3DS needs more horror games and I like games that you collect lots of loot in.

Re: Monster Strike Ships Over A Million Copies In Just Four Days

I hope smartphone games being de-microtransaction'd and fleshed out in a handheld remake becomes a trend.

A lot of smartphone games have good ideas and a fun premise but are ruined by

-Intrusive or predatory micro transactions/ads
-touch screen only controls
-excessive reliance on social features
-too much time limited content
-Firmware updates literally rendering games unplayable(freedom unite for example)
-more frequent crashes
-often times if you have an older device(even just a couple years old) it might not run properly or at all.
Etc.

Re: Hyrule Warriors Legends Will Allow You to Find and Customise Your Own Fairies

Pikachupwnage

@Yorumi it probably makes more sense financially to release the game to a new and larger install base than it does to release DLC for a over two year old game.

Plus this is a lot of content. Five new characters, a new adventure map, new enemies, new maps, costumes, customizable fairies etc and the game already a bit of DLC. Expecting a game more than a year old to get new content is crazy unless its a MMOPRG or something REALLY REALLY big.

I own the Wii U version and am fine with this.

Re: The Yo-Kai Watch Franchise Has Now Shipped Over 10 Million Copies

Pikachupwnage

@wazlon that is really the only big problem a I have with the game.

The chance you have of recruiting almost every Yokai is stupidly low. Even with a ability that boosts chances and the best food you often will need a dozen+ attempts to befriend one. Don't even get me started on the rare Yokai...

It's a 8/10 because of this rather than a 9/10 IMO.

Re: Review: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden (3DS)

Pikachupwnage

@MrSeitaro THIS. Only indie fighting games can really get any sort of pass for this at all because they might not have the resources. Even than its a big knock against the game....

But Namco Bandai is a long lived large company and dragonball is a big series so it is rather shameful.

Re: Preview: Fabulous Fashion and Questionable Game Design in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes

I have a brother who is also a Zelda fan and my best friend is a huge Zelda fan.

Gonna get us together to play this. It's gonna be great. Download play being so generous is great as I don't have to buy my poor college bro a copy now

But yeah I don't think this will be as good as ALBW. That game was freakin amazing. It ranks up their with the likes of Majoras Mask.
