Since I didn't see a thread about it, is Citizens of Earth good, or complete garbage? And by that, is it actually fun to play, not that bullshit where goons hype up a new game because it has a lot of wacky "details" that amount to nothing (more or less every Assassin's Creed, GTA IV, that boring as poo poo South Park game). Also, from the screenshots, the character designs look okay, but the levels and backgrounds look like a lovely flash game or a mediocre RPG Maker game; is that a correct assessment?

I'm kinda hoping it's good, and if it is, what system should I get it for? I assume PC, but Vita, 3DS, and Wii U are all options for me.

As a general rule, if a game is available for PC you always get it on PC unless there is something special on the 3DS or Wii U version. And even then you get a second copy on PC.

If something is available on the vita and doesn't perform like rear end you should get it there, so you aren't tied to a single location in order to play it

I feel like everyone passed up Pix the Cat but it actually is a great game on both ps4 and Vita.

Trivially it's a bit like Snake plus Pac-man but it's much much more fun than that sounds, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fast paced puzzle game

unless you got it free in like september with ps+ its not worth the very high price they want for it also i'd say vita is superior because the d pad is much clickier and has less chance of misreading your input than ds4 where you can move left and right by pushing the down button too far to the side by accident.

It has literally one game worth owning the system for, and that's a port of a PS2 RPG. Unless you're a huge anime loving pedophile of course.

The Vita is hands down the best Spelunky platform, that's the point.

I would have agreed but I did get it free and I ended up having quite a few evenings of putting off much-needed sleep in order to play "one more round, okay, poo poo, that doesn't count, one more after this..." and so on. Knowing what I'd do now I'd pay for it tbh.

i bought it and i wanna like it, but i probably wouldn't recommend it. the battles get really repetitive and the game crashes with alarming frequency, at least on the 3ds.

he was originally an amateur 3D animator who became popular because of Haloid and later Dead Fantasy.

rooster teeth was so impressed with DF that they hired him to help make fully animated RVB episodes, which led to incredible fight sequences like this one.

he worked on RT for five years and then started his own show, RWBY, which garnered a fairly large fanbase, for a western anime done entirely in CG.

The only bits of Guacamelee I found hard were at the very end where you get rooms full of enemies in light and dark worlds with every colour barrier up and suicide dudes all at the same time.

Not a bad game though, it's probably one of the best '''metroidvanias''' outside of the actual Metroid games

the vita is a console that exists solely to play persona games

i have persona 1, 2is, 2es, 3, and 4 on it because they're all available on psn

i have never played any other game on it and i'm ok with that. wait, i did buy freedom wars but then traded it in cause gently caress that game.
