That's what I want to know. I should really open the game and try myself, but I'm lazy.

I'll probably start playing this week.

Oh lordy, the FE stuff...you can pet your characters a la Pokemon Amie. Time to pet Marth or some other stupid stuff.

This is both hilarious and terrible. Mostly hilarious.

EDIT: Oh god, you can play dressup for your characters. True waifu/husbando simulator confirmed.

I'm really interested in FE vs Shin Megami.

That game, Zelda U and XBC2 are gonna be some pretty good RPGs coming up.

You should get the new FE game too.

They removed durability (which was for game balance, but you hated it so whatever...), let you play as boy or girl, and enhanced waifu/husbando simulator for the casuals.

Hell, they even added a difficulty where all units can regen the very next turn. You literally cannot lose even if you impale your characters onto the enemy weapons.

Durability wasn't in Gaiden either.
Also heard they rebalanced Dual Supports which is hype because that stuff made the game even more easy mode.
Here's hoping they bring back 1v1 unit battles like in Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem.
That would be amazing and a great side event for tournaments.

When you have to beat trela or karna to not get 9th place

#randomstatus
actually you could have just lost earlier and gotten to a different part of losers bracket.

or just beat karna, he is at every tournament so eventually you will have to beat him to get money.

Looks like you got bracket *****. It happens. For stacked weeklies, ranks don't really matter that much past 4th IMO. Too many variables.

Also, blame Karna for getting knocked out of winners early. He did it on purpose.

I'm saddened by how dumbed down FE has become, but at least they're leaving hard modes available for the vets. FE used to be of those games that took actual thinking a logic, trial and error with hard punishments that helped you learn (is it reallllly worth the 40 min I spent getting to this point in the chapter to risk it all on praying for one of my weaker units to get a crit on the boss? If it hits he gets a ****load of exp but if he misses he gets OHKO'd...ehh gimme that xp!!

*misses, gets killed*
....L+R+A+START)

but now its lol easy mode just so they can get more money from the casual audience.

EDIT: meant to post this earlier when it was relevant but forgot to. And @ Teshie U Teshie U who'd you get knocked out by? Still using megaman mostly?

Its sad how easy mode Nintendo has made all of their most recent games. Sure, they sometime come with higher difficulties, but it just doesn't feel the same to me. Feels more like I'm forcing myself to work harder when there's an easier alternative. I'd rather the game be challenging from default.

As for the FE thing, the way they've dumbed down the difficulty is kinda absurd. Casual mode (where your units return to life after you clear the chapter) was kinda ok, especially if you played at a high difficulty. Phoenix mode (where your unit comes back to life the NEXT turn) is pretty dumb.

Xyro, Zelda is not an RPG. Take that back.

Shut the hell up and go pet your Lucina.
Isn't that because japan society just wants kawaii jrpg or lewd stuff instead of actual gameplay these days.
Hey now, I enjoy dressing up my army as ridiculous as possible, turn on phoenix mode, then have them impale themselves on enemy weapons, then regen next turn and repeat. It's an endless death march.

I think the bracket is in the results thread. I lost to Big Boss and Whispy. I'm focusing on Samus and Pacman now.

I would have hoped easy modes on these newer gamers (automatical luigi mode in the platformers and golden tanooki suits) would give them the freedom to really bring up the difficulty more often, but its rarely the case.

W101 is a perfect example of blending hardcore difficulty with easy buttons. Infinite continues for the weak, but brutal difficulty to keep it fun.

2 sexually charged lesbians enter a dimly lit room with nothing but uncontrolled raw lust gushing from their souls. The following conversation was had.....


InkGirl: Samus. Show me what that long strong TASTY Zair can do. Hurry...I'm craving it. I NEED it!

Samus: *jumps* *unleashes zair* *hits inkGirl in the face*

InkGirl: FASTER! FASTER! Don't stop!!! Make me squirt [ink]

Samus: *takes InkGirl to training mode* *does x4 speed* *zairs again and again*

InkGirl: *wipes ink off face* So rough and so hot! That was THE best I've ever had!

Samus: I've had better........ *leaves room*







*credits roll*

I'm sad no one here really cares about Puzzle and Dragons. It really is a fun game. And despite what you may think, the Mario version is actually harder...

The 2nd and last stocks are the most hilarious things I have ever seen. The last stock is basically the game taking a dump on the Jiggs. JUST SPAWN THE PERFECT DISTANCE.

It's a puzzle game. I've never put in more than 10 hours into those types of games. I don't see depth or replay value in it unless you take it competitive. And I WILL NOT take a PUZZLE game seriously. That's NERDISM.



Edit: tilt controls on Splatoon ain't that bad.

So I just heard on a podcast that XBC2 will feature a 10+ GB DLC item that will speed up the game because loading from disc takes so long.

If you buy the full game digitally it will load faster.

So...there will basically be a 10GB patch for the game? That is terrifying, I hope the English version has this included on the disc...
