RStar posted:Am I the only one who didn't love Fire Emblem? I enjoyed Etrian Odyssey and SMT4 far more, and this is coming from a guy who's favorite genre is srpg's. It's pretty out of whack compared to the rest of the series as far as a lot of things. I can understand not liking it for sure, I'm hoping they do something more traditional next time around but given how much Awakening sold I'm not in the least confident this is going to happen.

The older ones were harder because you had a lot more scarcity to deal with - the first one released in English didn't have extra maps to grind on or extra always-available shops to buy new weapons when your poo poo broke. Plus, you had a total of 40 possible experience levels per character, none of this multiple-reclassing poo poo. This meant the game was really finicky and difficult at parts if you wanted to do everything and keep everyone alive. FE:A mitigates all these problems (which I think is a great thing, really) but in doing so removes the vast majority of the challenge in the game. You can Second Seal units over and over again for ridiculous stat gains really early in the game, and all of the challenge maps dump cash on you. Combine that with the ability to trigger a fight anywhere for a measly 500 gold and the game is just completely trivial. It just kind of exposes that without all of the annoyances and seeming restrictions on the prior entries, the game is pretty shallow overall. I'm still having a blast with it, personally - it's a great game to just chill and play while watching TV or whatever. I never would have been able to do that in the GBA entries.

Honestly if you find FE:A boring or too easy you should play on Hard Classic and avoid all DLC (and maybe also stuff like Reeking Boxes). That might give you something more your speed.

People who have played the army game will have actual substantial army sizes for you to fight and beat to add to your forces, where people who haven't played it just transfer the direct number of their Streetpass Plaza Miis, which isn't much even with big numbers. Also, people playing the garden game can show you their gardens and what they're actually growing instead of something random. There's no benefit in Mii Force/Haunted Mansion that I'm aware of, besides people in Haunted Mansion appearing with their weapons on their backs.

Normal is a snoozefest. Play on Hard (Classic or Casual). Reeking boxes will cost you 1500 gold there. Might be more your style.

The thing about lunatic is that there's only a very small handful of moves and characters that are actually viable. To beat the first two chapters especially, I think there's only a single set of moves you can make that will lead to success, and even then you can still get screwed over if an enemy gets a lucky crit. It's less about "strategy" and more about the patience involved in figuring out what moves the game wants you to make. Only a few characters will be usable since there's really no way to grind them up; barring a few pre-promotes you're going to be using the characters you get early on in the game because nobody else is going to be able to gain any kind of XP without getting murdered. Awakening is a fun game, but much of the depth to it is in the reclassing system, which utterly trivializes the entire game outside of a few DLCs.

As far as Awakening goes, I'd say Hard is a viable choice of difficulty if you want challenge. That said, Lunatic is fine. Lunatic+ on the other hand...

I notice that if I hold my phone and 3DS in the same hand, like if i'm carrying a lot of stuff and I just hold them together, that the phone causes the 3DS to come out of sleep mode even if it's closed. I drained my entire 3DS battery by having my iPad Mini next to it in my backpack. i thought I was going crazy because I heard game sounds, sure enough if you set the 3DS on top of the iPad at just the right spot it will cause it to turn on even if the lid is closed.

Also it's worth noting that certain games don't have a proper sleep mode, like Animal Crossing for instance, and will just turn off the screens while still running the game.

If you leave the system shut for a long period of time you can open it up and see the sun set in a quarter of a second as it turns to evening. Neighbors who were standing near your character when you closed it will still be there, so it's not running the entire game while it's asleep.

Help! I turned my 3DS off after a good ol' session of SMTIV and then... the blue light refuses to go off. Am I screwed?  e: That did it! Thanks! It's actually the first time in almost 1 year that it did anything of this sort. Since my fun 'n games PC is down, the 3DS is basically the one thing that keeps me from going nuts (being a recording engineer for metal bands will do that to you).

I love playing games in 3D.  Well there's a few exceptions. If I'm only half paying attention to a game and also using the internet or something, I'll keep it off because constantly shifting my gaze makes it rough to keep the 3D in focus. Also there's one type of 3D that's atrociously bad but I can't really explain it or what games I remember having it. I know there's a bit of it in Shin Megami Tensei-- most of the 3D in that game looks great but occasionally there's a cutscene of sorts where it was clearly made in 2D and then they attempted to convert it to 3D and it's awful. You can't gradually change the 3D depth in it; it's either on or off no matter where you set the slider. I think Monster Hunter was like this? Or at least some parts? I really can't remember.
