Smash 4 Social Thread 3.0

[Naoshi]

Finally, I have a top 5 3DS games I can be sure about:
1. Super Smash Bros. 3DS
2. Kid Icarus: Uprising
3. Fire Emblem: Awakening
4. Bravely Default
5. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

Honorable mention goes to Pokémon Y. Hard decision on whether Zelda or Pokémon would get the #5 spot, actually.

I haven't been feeling strongly about the 3DS. The only ones I really loved were AA5, KIU and ACNL. SSB3DS is going to be great though if the demo is anything to come by.

My list at the moment:
1. Animal Crossing New Leaf
2. Ace Attorney 5
3. Kid Icarus: Uprising
4. Tomodachi Life

I have no top 5 because I can't think of a 5th 3DS game I really love. SSB3D will likely fix that though.

I have yet to try Luigi's Mansion, Kirby Triple Deluxe and Bravely Default, but I've heard great things about them, so I'm willing to give those 3 a shot. I'm avoiding games like Mario & Luigi Dream Team since I've heard meh things about it such as annoying tutorials and bad pacing which I dislike so much in games. I'm going to avoid Sonic Lost World since the Wii U game was mediocre and the 3DS version looked much much worse, eugh. Sonic Boom doesn't look promising either.

I've barely played Link Between Worlds, but it was fun from little what I've played of it. Fire Emblem Awakening I've barely played too but I have to be in the mood to play it.

As for the rest, from other the games I did played and beaten... Pokemon X/Y was okay, Kalos could've been more interesting and the game needed good post play content, because it's seriously lacking. NSMB2 and 3D Land felt too safe, they were fun but not interesting enough to be great. Paper Mario Sticker Star was really lame, I did not like it at all. Mario Kart 7 was a good game but I couldn't get into it. Sonic Generations 3DS was very mediocre and lazy. And I could not get into Layton and the Miracle Mask for some reason, I loved the previous games before it on DS though.

Overall, I feel the 3DS is decent so far, I'll eventually dig into Zelda, Kirby, Luigi Mansion and Fire Emblem and hope it'll change my view on the system!

EDIT: Want to note that I'm avoiding remakes in this list since I want to focus on original games. But if you're curious, I really liked both Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64 3D.

I've only played SSB 3DS Demo and Uprising. Haven't played any FE games, and don't even know Bravely Default outside of being an RPG. And I need to finish other Zelda games I got before I play ALBW.

I don't wanna rank SSB 3DS as no.1 by only a demo. Looking over my games, my top 5 3DS games would be:

1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS
2. Kid Icarus: Uprising
3. Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies
4. Pokemon X/Y
5. Luigi's Mansion 2

Honorable mention goes to Mighty Switch Force 1 + 2. They're short but very sweet games. And no doubt SSB 3DS will go on the list once I play the full game.

Oh, did you beat Bravely Default? That was fast if thats the case.

Nah, I haven't. But I'm really liking it so far.

I've started Chapter 5 yesterday.

I think you were initially turned off by Bravely Default's system. Was that you? I'm not sure.

Regardless, I'm glad Bravely Default was great for you. The game's number one in my list. Even over Smash or on par. It's simply good. I literally ignored the

bull**** that happened during chapters 5-8

Honorable mentions go to both Layton-games.

 

[Frostwraith]

@ Berserker.
Whoever you're talking about that was turned off by Bravely Default's system isn't me for sure.

I actually like the twist it puts on classic turn-based RPG battle system. I actually played the demo for quite awhile, trying to get all the bonus content from it to the full game.

Oh, and the job system is really great. I like it a lot.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

What twist does it put on classic battle systems?

It seemed pretty standard to me

 

[SirIanAsh]

Do you guys suggest Kid Icarus Uprising? I'm new to the Kid Icarus series, and people say its great...
Tell my why you love it, cuz most of you guys seem to.

 

[Naoshi]

I prefer old school styled RPGs over any other kinds of RPGs. Unless if it's something like Battle Network or Paper Mario (the first two). With that said, Bravely Default looks like a game for me.

It's a very fun game with great character dialog and lots of nice content. The game has a nice range of weapons to try out, and the best part is that the game has online multiplayer battles.

My only complaints are that the game feels uncomfortable to the hands after a while and certain levels drags for way too long. Other than that, it's a great game.

So, anyone else going to be missing out on Smash Bros for 3DS? I've decided to skip it - heresy, I know - for financial reasons. There's just one too many games coming out that I'm interested in and I feel like I'd rather wait for it to come to Wii U. Of course, that does mean a couple of my friends will be playing away at it for potentially a month or two while I just sit here twiddling my thumbs.

Great gameplay.
Good story.
Great dialogues.
Best new Nintendo-villain of recent times.
High replayability.
Great online (never experienced lag).

The only downside are the controls which may take a while to get used to (and I think it's more difficult for lefties) and the lighthearted conversations aren't for everybody.

If you like classic JRPGs, yes, Bravely Default is for you.

The twist is the Brave/Default system.

Not a really big twist, sure, but still an interesting mechanic that stands out.

Where to start...

Gameplay is diverse. It's a mix of rail-shooter and 3rd person shooter. Every level has 2 sections, one in the air with rail-shooter gameplay and one in land with 3rd person shooter gameplay. The fact there's loads of weapons gives a load of variety to the game. Each weapon can also have it's own unique bonuses that make combinations almost endless.

If you're aiming for a 100% completion, this game is loaded with content. It is a Sakurai game, after all. There are loads of mechanics that feel like Smash Bros. as well. There's a multiplayer mode and the game has a lot of replay value.

Good story. Very lighthearted and with loads of humor. Voice acting is pretty good and characters are overall memorable. May not be for everyone, though.

I got the game without knowing on what I was getting into, but I really liked it.

I will, for the reason of not owning a 3DS

You guys need to watch this

10/10 Would bang

I'm a lefty. >.> I think I'll probably buy it though, for Sakurai :3

@exaggeratedhonesty, WHEN IS THE OGREHOG GONNA BE READY?!?!?!?!

 

[shrooby]

The dialogue.

I really like the focus on replayability.
You'll get through the reasonable chunk of chapters in a decent amount of time, but there's achievements, weapons, and various other goodies you get for completing a chapter with different conditions.
Some may understandably find it monotonous, but I find it incredibly fun and it's why I've been able to get so much time out of the game while never having set foot in the online sector of it.
And if you're as big a fan as I am of the dialogue, then playing through the chapters is still fun simply just to hear it again.

And, yes, there's the online which I should mention. I've heard pretty good things about it overall, but someone else will have to tell you about it.

[SirIanAsh]

When Sakurai said that the ice climbers didn't work on the 3ds, that probably means only one ice climber took a seat.

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

Looks realistic enough.

 

[Frostwraith]

The best part of KIU is...

Spoiler: Spoilers

The Chaos Kin arc. Everything about it was just plain awesome.

And of course, almost every line from Hades is pure gold.

Personally, I think the Aurum Arc is the best.

Why? Because Pyrrhon!

 

[Frostwraith]

Those are known already but I love these Final Smash compilations. Reminds me of when I was waiting for Brawl when people also did this sort of videos.

Anyway, it's just awesome to look at. The one-liners, the flashiness of the moves and the characters just being generally badass. What's not to like?

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Have you accepted Hades as your lord and savior already?

No, but I will admit he makes me laugh, just like a bald headed robotologist we all know and love.

 

[FlappyFalco]

If there was one thing I didn't like about KI:U it would be the boss battles. They're so easy, short, button-mashy and repetitive. Few of the bosses bring anything new to the table (the exceptions being the Aurum fights and the chariot guy) The fact that there's a challenge called "Beat Phosphora in 6 Seconds or Less!" just proves my point, really.

That and Pit gasping for breath every 20 steps as well as the automatic lowering of the difficulty every time you died stopped the game from getting a perfect 10 from me.

Watching Smash-videos now makes me really hype for Friday.

I agree with you to some extent, but for another reason. With some bosses I have no idea if I'm actually doing something. Best examples Great Reaper and Chariot Master.

I think we can all agree Luigi, Mega Man and Pac-Man got the best ones.

When I fought those two, I did the most rational and logical thing that would come to anyone mind:
SHOOT RANDOMLY!!!!

 

[Frostwraith]

I noticed Duck Hunt and Shulk's Final Smashes are functionally identical to Captain Falcon's.
Charizard's functions a lot like Yoshi's.
Robin and Mii Brawler's are similar to Ike's.
Dark Pit is identical to Zelda's.
Villager and both Link's are also very similar.

Not complaining, since many of them follow typical fighting game super move tropes/mechanics. They're all in-character too. More than Brawl... Except Falco, who still uses a Landmaster.

That's not exactly who I was referring to, but I guess it'll have to do...

But she's gone next game anyway.

Even though I've seen this before, Greninja's Final Smash looks similar to Ike's Final Smash. Still pretty cool though.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Actually it's a carbon copy of Ragnarok.

 

[Crescendo]

Even though I've seen this before, Greninja's Final Smash looks similar to Ike's Final Smash. Still pretty cool though.

If anything, I feel it's more inspired by this. Even more fitting since Strider is a ninja as well.

EDIT : God damnit.
