Oh man I totally forgot about Persona Q. I was already a big Persona fan but since getting a 3DS I am now also a big Etrian Odyssey fan. Is it using the EO4 engine?

I'm really regretting buying Fire Emblem: Awakening. I guess it would be okay if you're into unit stat growth spreadsheet nonsense but holy poo poo is it terrible as a strategy game. Are there any actually good TBS games for 3DS? Also I've played Shadow Wars, so other than that.

All I know is that all the battles seem to be revolve around baiting the AI by straddling the max attack ranges. The enemies never do anything remotely clever or unexpected, it's just so braindead and repetitive. Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Sep 2, 2014 |

They were both good, but you said 3DS, not DS. Dual Strike is a ridiculous power level fest that you can break over your knee and Days of Ruin is way more balanced but also way more toned down. They both have their problems but they're both still good games.

Kiranamos posted:Is there a strategy game where this actually exists I mean, games that utilize things like traps and fog of war and well-timed skill use can make it feel that way, but poo poo, I'd settle for something where the strategy doesn't revolve around having the AI have all of its guys commit suicide attacking your units that they can barely damage. It's so, so dumb, and makes it just feel like transparent AI manipulation rather than even trying to maintain the illusion of battle tactics.

Because that mode is seriously for people who have never played a video game before. At least try a map or two on lunatic mode before writing it off completely.

It's so, so dumb, and makes it just feel like transparent AI manipulation rather than even trying to maintain the illusion of battle tactics. I guess I felt most of the tactics pop up when I hit Apotheosis or even the higher difficulties, where the tactics were more or less evolving into a survival game rounded around endurance and clever planning to ensure the safety of your units in the process, understanding your odds in combat and using relationships to ensure the best possible outcome. Regarding Advance Wars: If I were you, I would set back to the GBA Advance Wars games and stick with them; I find them to be much more polished titles. However, Dual Strike and Days of Ruin are by no means "bad choices"; my personal opinion is that they're less enjoyable, however. (If you get good at the games, I might even play you in a game of Advance Wars By Web if you PM me!)

There's no grinding involved in any AW game. You can do it in Dual Strike if you want but it's not something that the game expects from you, at least not on a normal campaign playthrough.

What he was trying to say about Dual Strike (I assume, his phrasing was pretty loving confusing) is that it's very different from the other Advance Wars games and instead of being a small push and pull about edging your opponent out, it's pretty much about keeping your army safe until you're ready to use your CO powers to destroy the entire enemy army in one turn.

Nearly two years later, eShop-only, not translated to any Euro language other than English. Atlus blocked both NISA and NOE from publishing the game here for this? I can only imagine how worse things will get without NISA on publishing duty anymore.

So, the next Bokujou Monogatari (formerly known as Harvest Moon) game is gonna be a crossover title with the obscure manga/game series Popolocrois. What the hell? Isn't that some sort of SRPG thing?

http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/02/harvest-moon-teams-popolocrois-new-3ds-rpg/ Harvest Moon and PoPoLoCrois. It's taking some time for that to sink in to my brain. Is it okay if I get more excited for this crossover than for SMT x FE? I can't get really excited until they pull out the super cheesy commercials like they had for the rest of the series, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2gQwxm50NQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2UQ_s9a1EE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgorGQctf9U Edit: And as usual Siliconera has no idea what they're talking about. PoPoLoCrois was like Final Fantasy Tactics? Why, because battles took place on a grid?

Why does it need delaying even further? What the gently caress, Atlus? And they aren't even releasing in retail, thus not excusing any delays due to production or distribution issues. NOE was rumored to have been translating the game to French late last year or earlier this year and that was the explanation for the huge delay. With Nintendo as the publisher in Korea as well, it seemed like they would be doing a full FIGS release in Europe. Except Atlus stepped in, claimed they wanted to be more active in the European market, and here we are with no game and all other future games similary stalled. GG, Atlus.

Don't forget the time they went out of their way to region-lock Persona 4 Arena on a console where almost every game is region-free by default and made Europe wait like 10 months extra. I don't understand how a company like Atlus with so much consumer goodwill can make such boneheaded decisions when it comes to Europe. I look forward to playing Persona 5 in 2020.

At least enough people yelled at Atlus for region locking Arena that they apologized and made Ultimax region free, that was nice.

Getsuya posted:http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/02/harvest-moon-teams-popolocrois-new-3ds-rpg/ I haven't played the series but I always thought it was an SRPG, too, just based on screenshots. Of course, I'm not writing junk about it on the internet so I'm allowed to be wrong as hell. Are the games actually interesting or do they get by on charm?
