Re: Pokémon Games Continue To Dominate 3DS Charts Ahead Of eShop Shut Down

i've been getting into indie monster tamer games, they're pretty fun or is it just interesting to see what they do different? currently enjoying monster crown, but it seems to be really buggy on switch so you might want to get it on another platform if you're into it.

just mentioning cause idk i think i can pass on grabbing a digital version of the classics since i already got carts and the older remakes.

Re: Talking Point: What Makes A Really Good Demo?

played the demos for dragon quest 11 and trials of mana forever ago and eventually got them, now i'm thinking if i should start them from the beginning cause i don't exactly remember the story aspects of 1 and gameplay of the other from the demos when i get around to them... maybe i'll just continue and look for a tutorial section in a menu.

think the transferable save data thing and just starting from the beginning gets me invested, but games kind of open up part way through so i don't know how well they represent some games. how did arms do it? you pretty much got the main experience for a limited time? the disgaea 5 trial got me invested and i ended up buying it even though i was nearly finished with it, think it was on sale during the trial.

i voted historian thinking about how i went from bloodstained to order of ecclesia and not enjoying going down a lot but... i just remembered going from ff9 to 7 and mmbn4 to 6(sf1&3) to 5 and i'm planning on getting legacy collection vol 1

so i haven't marathoned a series but i guess it depends on how one changes from entry to entry... somehow forgot i just ordered a ds version of the would ends with you before i tackle neo which is waiting for me. this topic is messing up my niarb

uh... so i guess some older entries might not be worth playing or it'll kill your interest? no, i got it. order depends on series cause some don't necessarily improve as they go on too, some are just different enough to be interesting in their own right.

i going from disgaea 1 to 5 i enjoyed them both but i liked doing item world in 1 better, eventually i'll do 4 and 6.

i want to know if this isn't one of those kinds of games where you push boxes.

bayo 3 had a demo for it included, it was kind of neat of a inclusion, but it didn't give a feel like there was much to it or could go the distance. well it lacked a bit compared to what was shown in the trailer, but i'm left thinking if the rest is the same as just pressing A next to flowers.
