Re: Ace Attorney 6 Confirmed to be Headed to 3DS

I thought Dual Destinies was a much weaker than average installment in the series and I'm hoping for Dai Gyakuten Saiban to be a fresh breeze when (if) it gets localised, so I don't know how interested I am in a main series sequel for now...

Re: PixlCross is Bringing Picross and Puzzle Creation to the Wii U

@PixlBitStudios

Well, it's hard to talk about aesthetics in very precise terms, the font doesn't appeal to me, the colors and graphics of the menus and buttons feel like, if they even represent a unified art style that art style somehow feels... I don't know... cheap... or maybe the word is generic...

It feels like it's the generic supermarket brand of puzzle games...

Again, it's not like I'm an art critic, I can only tell you what looking at the trailers and screen shots makes me "feel", it's not like I am able give very constructive criticism here (Maybe if I had a degree in graphic design I'd have more useful answers).

Re: The Piracy of amiibo Now Seems Possible With the 'amiiqo' Device

linforcer

Oh wow, a way to freely unlock content you already have, but need a statue to access? Cry me a river, Nintendo.

I don't really care that much about amiibo or the content they unlock, but I am glad that now it means they will never be able to put essential-ish content behind a paywall, opened by a collectable.

Meanwhile it means the people who "COLLECT collect" don't have to drag their amiibos around with them or can store them in their display cases or whatever without having to take them out every time they want to use them.

Re: Fire Emblem Fates Looks Set to be a Single Release in the West, According to Amazon

@CrazedCavalier I just ended up trekking through every stage with all my characters in pairs and wrecking sh*t, and the promise of infinite XP at my fingertips from fighting any difficulty of risen really blunted the experience for me.

Sure, there were dumb tricks to rack up exp in previous FE games but they were just that, tricks. Some people got to feel clever for using them, me, I avoided them because they were tedious and considered them side effects of an imperfect system, an attitude I can't maintain towards the EXP on a silver plate that resulted from reeking boxes...

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Tackles Criticisms of Bonus Features in Games

linforcer

The main issue with that people have with these feautures is that it means that now the "best" way to play the game is to use the feature, in the sense that this feature gives us an edge in the game in return for an action which requires no skill (or requires focusing on skills that they did not expect to need in this particular game).

Now suddenly the most effective way to win includes a type of gameplay that you really dislike...

Re: Nintendo Download: 4th June (Europe)

Guess I'll get Wakedas. I currently have too many games to justify buying ANYTHING except on sale. Even though it's only from 3€ to 2€, I really enjoyed the demo, so I guess I'll pick it up.

Re: Bravely Second End Layer is Heading to the West in 2016

linforcer

I had a great time playing Bravely Default. There is this part in the game (which does tie into the story) where things get a bit repetitive and I hear a lot of people don't finish the game from that point. I myself had the game hanging around for a long time but I finished it in the end, and loved it. I'll be looking forward to Bravely Second, assuming they don't push their luck by expanding on microtransactions.

Re: Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 3 Won't Include Zelda Costumes In The West

linforcer

"Sadly, Siliconera has asked the publisher about the chances of these costumes being in the Western edition of the game and has been told that they are Japan-exclusive."

A bit of an awkward sentence. It makes it seem like it is not just sad that they were told they are Japan-exclusive, but that it is also sad that they asked about it in the first place...

Re: Pokémon Shuffle Brings Major Changes in Version 1.2

linforcer

I had never used the HOME button thing. I imagine I'll get a bit higher of a ranking in the competitions now.The split lives thing is quite welcome, as now I can save up my streetpass lives, without missing out on regenerating lives. I wonder what the max stock will be for these lives.
