Re: Hands On: Fire Emblem Engage Is Surprisingly Fast-Paced And Delightfully Deep

jolteon23

I have been a huge Fire Emblem fan from the (western) start. And I am very excited for this new entry. I just do not understand all the comments of people being afraid it's going to be too waifu or anime-y or how this game and TH isn't for them. Of course to eaxlch their own. But anime and waifu type elements have always been a part of this series. There were literal anime and furry type people in both Path of Radiance and Radiance dawn and some had very obcvious gendered or love interested choices built into them. If that's not for you, just say that. But don't pretend it's something from the last two games. By the way, most of this is very easily skippable, like the tea time in TH, and doesn't have to impact your experience with the tactical side of it at all.

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Characters - Every New And Returning Hero Revealed So Far

jolteon23

@tenthAvatar I wholeheartedly disagree. I feel like Fire Emblem is so well received because it's bursting with personality. Other SRPGs that try a similar formula, sometimes fail because they lack heart. Especially since they've implemented voice acting it no longer feels low budget at all. (sidenote: I am a big FE fan since localization, so not objective at all )

Also, if Nintendo wanted to they could work on their more dormant franchises. But sales numbers just aren't motivating enough. Demand for games like F-Zero seems high on websites like these, but it's not likely a new iteration or remake would outperform previous installments.

Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning New Story Trailer For Fire Emblem Engage

jolteon23

I'm a big Fire Emblem fan (so, I'm not entirely objective) and this second story trailer looks amazing. I thought the reveal trailer was a bit underwhelming for what it tried to do, but this one is much stronger. I love the new countries that were introduced (I mean, c'mon realistic diversity) and I've spotted some interesting characters. Can't wait!

Re: Feature: The 10 Best Ace Attorney Cases, Ranked

I wish I could read through the whole list without spoiling myself. I own all Ace Attorney games, but have only played the original trilogy and the Professor Layton spin-off. So I only read those parts. Thanks for the reminder to make work of the other games on DS, 3DS and Switch!

@Eagly I really don't think she made it "porn", in fact I think it's quite modest. She just found ways to have fun with the concept and make it sexy, nothing wrong with that imo. Saying you're not prude and then bashing women for revealing too much is not the way to go, Eagly. Same for Doja Cat, she's clearly having fun with it while also trying to stay close to the material. It was a joy to look at those photos.

Re: Memory Pak: 50 Shades Of Morally Grey In Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

I bought VLR and ZTD on 3DS years ago but never got around to playing them, because I found out they were sequels to 999. So, I finally played through 999 via GamePass this Summer and it completely blew my mind. I played through all the paths in 2 nights, I was sad to finish it. I should really boot up my 3DS again and start playing the sequels after reading this entertaining take on VLR

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 22nd)

jolteon23

This weekend will be the start of a well deserved week off from work. Over this weekend I'll be playing Dreamlight Valley and become best pals with Scar, my favorite misunderstood villain. It's difficult to live in your brother's shadow, you know.

I'll also be diving into Paper Mario Origami King for the first time in an attempt to work on my backlog.

On Switch I'll finally be playing the Torna DLC to prepare for XBC3 later this month. I'll also be continueing my first run of Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes.

Elsewhere, on XBox GamePass, I'll be finishing the true ending branch of 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors and after that I'll be moving on to Virtue's Last Reward. I'm already having such a blast with these Zero Escape games.

Re: Fantasy-Action Battle Royale Spellbreak Shuts Down Early Next Year

jolteon23

I have played and enjoyed the game for a while. It became stale eventuallly. Me and my friends have always been dissapointed that there were no new magics introduced, ever. I think BR games need to freshen up every season, like Fortnite does every time. Either with new gameplay mechanics, a new map or new items. Spellbreak did almost none of those.

Re: Video: Are 2D Games Worth $60? Jon, Alex And Zion Share Their Own Thoughts

jolteon23

When I buy a brand-new game full price, which I do a lot, I expect the game to be of great quality, with a wealth of content and not to forget a variety of immersive and fun gameplay. I always judge a game's worth on length as well. Money = time for me. I pay for a form of entertainment that could possibly entertain me anywhere between 10 - 150 hours and when that time is spent enjoyably, the cost is very justified for me.

Re: Random: Someone's Made A Smash Ultimate Mod That Removes Everything Fire Emblem-Related

jolteon23

@sanderev I kind of agree with you. While I think we as avid fans of gaming should not promote piracy as an okay means to get what you want, wether it'd be mods or free games. There's definitely a sense of freedom in being able to enjoy a game the way you want to.

There's clear exceptions in which modding is allowed, like when the devs appreciate it or when it creates a sense of community that doesn't harm the reputation of the game.

While these articles are not amongst the most interesting to me, I know some people like them. I just hope NL would never promote things like piracy.

PS: I'm an FE fan. Best Nintendo IP, change my mind. #FreeIke
