The Switch, I usually bring my backpack, so I got somewhere to put it before I sit down, but any 3DS, in my pocket it goes. New 2DS is probably best for conceal-ability as it looks closest to a phone, but keen-eyed onlookers will always recognize something different, so, just take whichever 3DS you want.
@Jhomesjones This was actually helpful, as I was looking to decide whether to get BattleminerZ, seeing as I thought it was a much bigger deal than Battleminer when it came out.
@MarioBrickLayer You only need to look at Star Fox Assault to get a proper answer. It's a lot of ground combat, but it's still all grounded in the action instead of an adventure, and the aerial combat that is there is fun, replayable, and lends itself to the kind of multiplayer romps that 64 made popular.
He should do Advance Wars. If he wants to take a stab at relationship mechanics with a Nintendo IP, Advance Wars could be the next modern Fire Emblem with him, and it would bang hard.
@TruthisRare Why haven't they said that yet, at this point? I've got the collection thanks to my brother, yet I'm feeling utterly dispirited, by this action.
@Wilforce If you find the right missions, you can reach Rank 30 on your Warframe, AND weapons, within an hour.
That's not difficult at all compared to modding them. Some really good mods, you're not gonna know even exist or where to find 'em without visiting the wiki, and even then most of the time, it's chance as to whether or not you'll get them. On top o' that, you also have to upgrade those mods to get the most out of 'em using endo, which is not easy to grind for a lot of, unless you're lucky.
And that STILL only covers HALF of upgrading your Warframe. Getting Rank 30 is just the beginning, and won't be enough to prepare you for the open world, alone.
@Wilforce Level 15? By that, do you mean Rank? I was Rank 7, by the time I got used to the first two open worlds, and right now I'm still only Rank 10.
Your strength really comes from an understanding of the stats of your Warframe and weapons, and how strong you can make them using mods, and formas. A shotgun that can do 10,000 damage per round for example will have lvl50 enemies taken out, no problem.
The most annoying thing for me really is how much research I had to do to understand all this myself, but thankfully the game's been receiving updates that have only been making this easier, such as adding a Q/A section to the rather INSANELY functional chatbox, while the devs make it a point to help the community keep their wiki site as up to date as possible.
@Sephrin It was originally on an Xbox360 and a Wii U. Chances are it'll at least perform better than the Wii U version. I played AC4 on the Wii U, and the worst I saw was bad shadowing and unstable framerate.
@AxeltheBuizel Even if it were the case that Miis would stop showing up in games (Which isn't happening yet. Switch is still getting games where you can at least play as your Mii if you want), Miis are still Nintendo's main avatars for users, and to simply replace them now would make no sense, would likely cost resources, considering they're also used in MyNintendo, and it would just be a tragedy all around.
No, I am not ready, yet. All the talk about Smash is nothing but playing the main VS mode. As far as I can see, there has not been a word spoken about single player, yet, and that has me worried. Is there going to be any at all? Is this game just going to be VS mode, over and over and over, with the only goal being to GIT f*cking GUD? If so, keep me as far away from this game as possible, cos I get enough pain and stress trying to git gud in Smash 4. I don't need another avenue for constant headaches and self-deprecation.
I remember the last game I played that tried the dual character mechanic. It was a platformer called Embers of Mirrim. I hated it. So yeah, I'm gonna be sceptical about trying dual character mechanics, unless this one actually works. :/
... I cannot believe, I'm one of the few people to say, I don't want this. Not now. Not before I've gotten a new mainline Star Fox game, cos the last one didn't last half a year, for me.
If this actually does well, I actually fear Nintendo's just gonna can F-Zero, and make this the new mainline Star Fox.
@Kayfios Tbh, it would have been way better if you could control the cannon and vehicle seperately, again, like you could in any other game, I believe.
Do you see my avatar? Then you know exactly what I want. I want me some STAR FOX. Zelda's a distant second right now, though. Wish I could be more excited about it.
@Parkour_LMan Oh. The more you know! Actually, that makes me think of Project Guard with a different coat of paint. Sounds like that idea can applied to almost any setting. It probably has been, too. Just never had its own game, before.
