I think it's a great system, but the lack of support and upcoming NX have me hesitant on buying one. They blew it on initially not releasing the smaller model in America, only to release it in a white Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer bundle. A black small New 3DS Fire Emblem Fates bundle would've been killer.
It's stupid that they removed the feature altogether (though I can see why they removed the drugging scene and incest), but is it really that big of a deal? It's a (insert profanity here) strategy game, if it needed some stupid dating feature to please you I find it just as sadistic as Sarkeesian. All hail the drama kings and queens.
Didn't pick up Moon Chronicles and probably never will, but I did pick up Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter seems worth looking into. Almost forgot about that one.
@Ralizah Same here. I was on the fence about getting Pokemon X & Y, but I think I know what I'm doing now. Somewhere some stupid businessman thinks he's gonna make money off this. Maybe with a rushed AAA, but this? Give me a break. Can't wait for this to bite them back in the you know what. Maybe then they'll start acting like rational human beings. After Apple vs Samsung and the declining quality of the Windows iTunes client I've boycotted Apple. Seems like The Pokemon Company's next.
@BenAV Yeah, the jarring stupidity of this could cause something much realer than the threats themselves to happen. Anyone stupid enough to do this for the hell of it had it coming. That said, I hope they focus more on teaching them common sense and rationality than they do locking them up for the sake of punishment.
@Ayronom Missed games in general or just Project Cars? Cause from what I heard about this game it's not much better than The Crew. And that wasn't exactly a good game, as I tried out the beta for it.
@Ryno Do not acknowledge that Skyrim, Mirror's Edge, Metal Gear Solid V, Halo 3, The Last of Us, and Read Dead Redemption are good games. Ever. They're all just a bunch of generic, underwhelming rehashes as only Nintendo is capable of good games, as if Star Fox Zero, Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, and Metroid Federation Force don't exist. At least Zelda and Fire Emblem still look good.
@FLUX_CAPACITOR I gave up on talking to you like an adult when you pretended that the dysfunctionality of NST wasn't an issue [see: your response to Retro's post]. Sorry if I was too humble so as to not make you feel more intelligent than I am. Did this seriously not strike you as the least bit problematic? I know most things at Nintendo aren't this bad, but the fact that it got this bad is yet another sign things need to change. Next thing I know I'm gonna see you pretend that PlayStation Now pricing or Don Mattrick's Xbox One statements aren't issues. Racial infighting sounds proportionate, doesn't it? If this is just how much the head honchos up at the big N will let slide until it's too late, it's no wonder they let all their other relationships go to s*** until all they had left was the indies. Heck, I'm surprised they didn't let that go either.
Augustus is to conservatives to what a communist is to liberals. They think they're helping lost socialists find their way when they really couldn't be any further from the truth. He's deluded himself the same way. Denial is a strong drug taken by the weak-minded to feel confident in their views.
@Mona-Reggie I'm going off numbers here. Either a few managers are wrong, or everybody else is. I'm more inclined to side with the larger group. If you go back far enough, both some on the German side and some on the Japanese side of my family are racist. I've seen or at least heard of both.
You don't need to be Japanese to misunderstand that waggle controls are a gimmick. Can't tell who they're more racist to: the white people, or themselves?
@JJtheTexan Yeah. At least something was good, and they deserve credit for that. Though I do admit I'm a little interested in that Fire Emblem title...
@AyeHaley At least you can feel good about this: you're not one of them. Their mindsets will all be in the grave along with them someday, as few will come out of it, and just as few will carry it on. They won't be missed. I've had my arse handed to me on a silver platter by girls in Smash Bros, and I had the mental kahunas to accept it without having to come up with some crazy conspiracy theory to give me peace of mind.
@Ralizah That's acting we're all rational people. #GamerGate != rational people, though I'm sure you already know. About as crackpot as any neo feminist these days. U stopped trying to get through to them long ago. And if this was 8chan and we didn't have moderation standards, he'd be saying nastier stuff too. If you haven't already, take him with a grain of salt.
@AugustusOxy I take it the professional troll is here? Great job acting like a 5-year-old, has it occurred to you nobody's taking you seriously? I guess it's easier to cynically lash out with no constructive criticism than read. Can't imagine how pitiful that basement looks like.
Mostly good music, mostly not rock. I don't care if Ed Sheeran's a good artist, because it doesn't make him any more fitting. It's like playing Radiohead at a celebration - poorly suited.
@gsmaciel That could go down a very slippery slope; I can forgive one thing, maybe even more if the title's ambitious enough, but we don't need to be kind towards Battlefield 4 and whatnot.
I plan on getting the game's multiplayer soon and expect it to be a good time. The demo for the campaign was pretty mediocre, but the game's a decent shooter and it's one hell of a technical achievement.
I'm all for tributes to video games and this guy does seem to have a more honest operation going than say, some Minecraft clone, but he's still playing it a little too safe. He should change it up a little more. With more work, as he actually does seem to care about making games (at least to some extent), it could be more distinct, but as it is now I would've never ported it to PC let alone considered consoles. It has a little more ways to go creatively before it's worthy of competing with its influences when it's still so close to them.
@ouroborous I don't recall being able to play last gen games on any console, Nintendo Wi-Fi connection is dead. These are new games, and with free online multiplayer subsidized through things like software sales, yeah, they're gonna get banned. I'm only surprised this didn't happen sooner.
Nice job Nintendo, throwing away free marketing. They can do what they want, but I'm not a blind Nintendo fanboy, I'll say it like it is: they're shooting themselves in the foot. There's no other way to say it without running away from the truth. The YouTubers (whether you like them or not is a whole nother matter) supply the videos, commentary, and gameplay, the game developers make the game. The former get the revenue, the latter gets the advertising. A win-win situation. Why you would discourage such is mind-blowingly stupid. Say what you will about whether you think they're entertaining enough to merit their wages, all parties win from them. Nintendo is in the right legal grounds to do this of course, it's just not a bright idea. I love Nintendo, but not unconditionally. Blindly cheering them on no matter what they do like a Vita fanboy is stupid.
@LUIGITORNADO Here's the story, as noted earlier in the comments: "@AugustusOxy @TobiasAmaranth Jesus. It's like you don't pay attention. The dude was hitting on a 14 year old, "I'd totally go pedo for u". This isn't just some guy going "Ehhh bby wan some fuk" it was a guy harassing people. If you want the actual story, go look at the multiple threads on /r/smashbros."
@Chrizzel28 I didn't get that vibe, so don't worry, it's all good. If anything, that needed to be said. I haven't seen any misandry here, but if I did, that would be as relevant to the conversation as ever.
@Chrizzel28 Some feminists make me wonder, but I don't think this is one of those cases. The people refuting this are either really freaking cynical, in denial, or both. Generally I'd refrain from such titles, and have thus far, but in my mind I'm pretty sure that the commenter in question (AugustusOxy) may very well be sexist, or at least one hell of a hypocrite.
@HappyMaskedGuy Yeah. Even if you weren't here, I'd still have hope, seeing as half the people making political comments on the internet only do so out of spite, and are few in number. Often the most radical, pitiful ones.
This is why people have proposed a blocking system. Though one is generally ban-worthy if enough people don't want to see them. @DiscoGentleman Spot on.
@Octane We may not have been there, but when he has no comment, has resigned, and has an old friend backing up the claims, I'd say it's pretty safe to say he did it, and if he did, there's no sticking up for him.
@HappyMaskedGuy Yeah. Social darwinism will do its duty. That guy should promote that perv in question in front of his family, around his friends, and inside his church if he has one. It doesn't take a second to know what people would think of him. Trash standards. No wonder he has to give this crap on the internet, I wouldn't be surprised if he started some too with the guy who was stalking him. Who knows? Hard to take anything he says seriously. For all we know, his definition of wronged could be being upheld to basic standards.
