Asaki Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's kinda like Fire Emblem with only 6 characters instead of 60. And the story is typical Clancy-ish cold war stuff. But I like the diverse scripted missions a lot, that's quite refreshing after playing X-COM, with its generic soldiers and its randomly-generated missions. It's certainly not a perfect 10 like Fire Emblem, but still a solid 8/10 in my book Never played any of the Fire Emblem games. X-COM: Enemy Unknown was one of the first PC games I bought, and I played a heck of a lot of it in high school. I've tried to dabble in a few other "tactics" style games, but I really missed how X-COM let you build bases, research and manufacture alien technology, etc...even if I was really bad at keeping my funds in the black =| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Only really been playing Bravely Default on my 3DS. Up to about 90+ days according to the game time now? Occasionally I will play some Streets of Rage or another quick VC title I've downloaded to my 3DS. But mostly Bravely Default! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I generally prefer fleshed out characters with real personalities over the generic "soldier". That's the major thing I'd improve in X-COM. Actually I was hoping the restart of the brand would go some more in that direction. Maybe in a sequel. And Fire Emblem - you should try it. Personally I'm somewhat spoiled by the newer iterations, so I can't wholeheartedly recommend still playing the GBA ones or the DS game nowadays. My advice would be starting with the Cube iteration, then the Wii one and then Awakening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My advice would be starting with the Cube iteration, then the Wii one and then Awakening ...would be a lot easier for me to play the GBA/DS ones... ¬_¬ I also have an NES flash cart, IIRC that one's been translated. I played Advance Wars for a while. It seems neat, but I'm not very good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Re: Fire Emblem... I agree with ya, Cybergoth. The GameCube, Wii and 3DS stories are fantastic. But I still have a fond place for Sacred Stones and go back to it occasionally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Enjoying the original Shantae currently. Although I'm no fan of backtracking, overall I've rarely seen such a lovingly crafted video game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardZero Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I've been playing a ton of Super Street Fighter IV on my 3DS. The combos mapped to the touch screen really help me as I'm not too good at pulling off combos but still love Street Fighter. Mighty Switch Force is also a good retro style puzzle platformer on the e-shop. It is very fun. I highly recommend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomwaves Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Grabbed: Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon, because I don't know!! & Shin Megami Tensei IV.. Ready to pump some major time into both of them.. Been pretty hungry for a new 3ds game for a while.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Something bugs me about the 3DS store.. how do you find something like Space Harrier without "searching" for it? i.e. Where would you find it if you were browsing? Seems I cant find stuff like that anywhere unless I specifically enter a query for it.. and I would like to simply browse the wares Edited October 21, 2014 by NE146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 October 24th, it's Fantasy Life day. So, that and Animal Crossing: New Leaf... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I recently bought another eShop prepaid card. Besides the main attraction, Gargoyles Quest II, I also got Shantae: Riskys Revenge and Pokemon Link Battle this time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I also bought an eShop card, but it was to get the DLC for Fantasy Life on day one. I'm lining up for Smash Bros with Christmas money this year, and perhaps another game or two for the holidays. But right now, even Animal Crossing has been put aside for Fantasy Life. Also planning on getting back into Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, which I never finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
