I'm considering buying Fire Emblem to play on my mum's 3DS. Should I?

I played the demo and it was really fun. And from what I've heard, it's a brilliant game. One of the system's best apparently.

Joe loves it because you can marry a little girl in it.

It's amazing and has outrageously good replay value. They've also given you the option of playing so your units don't die forever if you lose them, which makes it much easier than previous games. I turned it off because I'm not a baby, but the option is still there.

I killed my first colossus in Shadow of the Colossus.

Thus far I've been pretty disappointed by the crappiness of the graphics. Such a terrible HD remake!

Also, I hope the gameplay gets better. It needs to be good enough to compensate for my annoyance with the controls.





But then, I've only played it for 40 minutes, and that's far too early to really judge.

The gameplay is almost all quiet exploration with occasional epic boss battles. It's a unique experience that you have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy. Hunt some lizards. Eat some fruit. Enjoy Wander's stoicism, and desperation. I've probably beaten that game about 15 times, and I never got tired of it.

Shadow of the Colossus is a glorious game. And on a related note, I just bought Ico. So that's another game to playthough soon :)

Hit world rank #15,525 in Quake Live duels.

I can definitely see that I'm getting better now, which is really exciting.

Gravity Rush, I love this game but I can never decide if I want to use the gyroscope or the right analogue stick and end up totally disorientated, upside down or with my head lodged in an enemy.

Pretty fun though, it'd be nice to see more titles of this calibre for the Vita.

Wings of Fire 05-21-2013 05:03 AM

Persona 3. I hate that some of Elizabeth's missions are luck based and a couple of the difficulty jumps between blocks of Tatarus are just silly, but I'm having loads of fun.

Also Akihiko's voice makes me swoon. He's such an cool senpai.

I've been on holiday in Gdansk, Poland so I'll let you know what I've been playing to pass the time:
Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Magician's Quest, The World Ends With You, Star Wars Battlefront II, Minecraft, Grand Prix Story.

Now that I'm home in England I'm back to playing Black Ops 2 on my Wii U and Euro Truck Simulator 2 on my PC. I'll reinstall Mass Effect 3 on my PC so I can play with my cousin.

OANST 05-22-2013 10:47 AM

Hi. I'm on vacation, and brought ten video games with me.

This is the point when you really should realize what an awful, shit life you lead.

Crashpunk 05-23-2013 02:41 AM

I still think Alexfili is the only person in the world who plays CoD games on a Nintendo console.

Phylum 05-23-2013 03:00 AM

He's certainly the only one brave enough to tell others that he enjoys it.

Varrok 05-23-2013 04:43 AM

I've almost 100%d Brutal Legend. It was great. Best game DoubleFine created so far. I didn't like DF that much before, but after I played B.L., it changed.

OANST 05-23-2013 05:34 AM

What?

I got DKCR3D a day early as a present for myself for doing well on a job interview. It's shockingly hard, but very good.

I generally expect to be able to 100% stages on platform games on my first go until about halfway. Not so here. It's enough of a struggle just to get the KONG letters.

Varrok 05-23-2013 11:14 AM

Okay, okay, you won. I was wrong, Brutal Legend sucked and DoubleFine is shitty ;C Are you happy now?

OANST 05-23-2013 11:18 AM

MeechMunchie 05-23-2013 12:53 PM

The old duffer's going deaf already.

Varrok 05-23-2013 01:24 PM

Also, I have to spread more rep.

Vyrien 05-23-2013 02:04 PM

You didn't take that auto-enucleation thing seriously, did you?

I think that he may have been as shocked as I was that you said BL was better than Psychonauts*/Iron Brigade**.


*Me.
**Him.

Varrok 05-23-2013 09:01 PM

I didn't have a chance to play Iron Brigade. I played Psychonauts though, it was really cool, but in my opinion BL was better.

Vyrien 05-23-2013 10:42 PM

I can't help but read that as Boys' Love.

Varrok 05-23-2013 10:46 PM

I can understand that, we're on OWF after all. I meant "Brutal Legend" though.

MeechMunchie 05-24-2013 04:45 AM

Well, I learned something about Vyrien today.

Well, I'll tell you this. If you really loved the gameplay of Brutal Legend then you will probably think Iron Brigade is great. It's an extremely deep third person shooter/tower defense/mech game, and it's fucking great. I think I put about 400 hours into it, I'm ashamed to say.

You knew it all along, you just didn't want to admit it.
