I'm happy to own DKCR on 3DS since I never played the Wii version. I may never have played it otherwise.

Why didn't you pick it up back in 2010? That was basically Nintendo's flagship game for that holiday.

Can't say, just not the biggest DK fan. Was busy with other games at that time. I do have a Wii U now though with several games with many more planned. No guarantee I'll get Tropical Freeze but with the intense drought of Wii U content I may pick it up for that reason alone.

Shin Megami Tensei IV is some bullsh*t, man. What's with this outrageous difficulty? People get one-rounded in the tutorial dungeon!

Peanut · 07-18-2013, 06:06 AM

Hell yeah! I got absolutely obliterated on what I'd call the first "boss" encounter in a single turn, thanks to it attacking first, hitting a crit for a smirk to kill one of my demons, hitting a weakness to nearly kill the next, and then using a single bonus turn with smirk to mabufu my entire party into oblivion. I was stunned.

The most difficult part so far was honestly during the tutorial where you've got to build a party. At such low level, without any backup, talking to a demon and failing to negotiate can mean absolute disaster. OHKO's or entire party wipes in matter of seconds.

However, it's so much more lenient than Nocturne. You don't immediately lose if your MC eats it and you can save anywhere. Those two things make all the difference in the world. Even P4 isn't that lenient.

I got out of the tutorial dungeon with just barely any HP on one of my demons. I was running from every enemy I saw. Just a mad dash for the door!

I hear it gets easier, though, as they introduce new mechanics.

*Cure* · 07-18-2013, 11:25 AM

The most frustrating part is giving so much sh*t to a demon just so they can run out on you. "Later, sucker".

F*CK YOU, KNOCKER.

Decided to buy Earthbound for the simple reason that I have never owned a copy, I borrowed it as a kid.

So yeah now I finally own it... legit!

Nintendo even put the original game guide up digitally

I got Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale with my $30 eShop credit and I honestly don't know what that game is about, but I absolutely adore everything about it.

*snake* · 07-19-2013, 11:31 PM

I've spent 22 hours on MH3U!! I love it!

Digital Ghost · 07-24-2013, 02:54 PM

Just pre-purchased Shadowrun Returns on Steam... launches tomorrow.
If the game offers even half of the fun of the SNES and Genesis titles, I'll be happy with it. I hope the music is as enjoyable as well.

*Allio* · 07-24-2013, 07:44 PM

Playing Batman Arkham Asylum...thought it would be more fun than it is

*Zany Orange Dude* · 07-24-2013, 08:25 PM

My younger sister accidently broke my old Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legend game. So I went out and picked up the Jak and Daxter HD collection for the ps3. So I rebeat the first and second game and am currently working to beat the third one.

I backed it on kickstarter! Got my game key earlier this month. Hope it's good.

Is Kid Icarus worth buying on the Wii U VC?

Captain PunchYouHard · 07-26-2013, 06:04 PM

After about three years of bad luck, I just replaced my XBOX and ME 1 and 2, plus 3. So excited. Gonna play till I pass out!

No, get the 3D Classics remake on 3DS. It fixes the unfair difficulty of the original, has a save feature, and better graphics.

*The Stryker* · 07-27-2013, 11:05 PM

Or. OR.

Don't get either version. Kid Icarus sucks.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 07-28-2013, 08:26 AM

Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
