The best part of the new translation is that they changed what the tutorial people say, and one of them makes fun of people that set the game to use old controls (or something, I don't remember all the control options they added aside from the touch screen).

I suppose it means something that I can't really remember much of anything about Chrono Trigger DS *except* that horrible field screen in the bonus dungeon that you have to run across seventeen times.

Like, it deserves credit for making an impression at least.

Lost Magic should be higher on that DS game list. :colbert: Also, they need to make a Wii U sequel. It would be perfect for the gamepad!

The new font is kind of ugly but it's very readable. Missing the original isn't a huge loss. :shrug:

Can someone explain what the extra content is and what's so bad about it that it ruins the whole game?

I wish Knights in the Nightmare wasn't totally incomprehensible.
In fact it accomplishes the rare feat of being incomprehensible on three different levels-- aesthetically (I have no idea what is going on on the screen), mechanically (I have no idea how to play this game) and narratively (I have no idea what this game is about).

All I could figure out by the end of the game is that everyone is dead, the world is ruined and it's your fault and there's nothing you can do to avoid it.

It's the aforementioned extra dungeon and sidequests. They're tedious, lazily put together, and grindy in ways the rest of Chrono Trigger aren't. This content also only exists because there are some people that had mixed-to-negative reactions to Chrono Cross and Square Enix wants to let them know that they're wrong because they do not understand how good Chrono Cross is.

(it's okay and also very dumb but has nice music so ymmv)

the extra super hard bonus boss was really easy and I was surprised I beat it with little problem on my first run through of the game.

But they kept trying to link the game to Chrono Cross and uuugh stop it you assholes

I paid one dollar for the original Japanese Chrono Trigger. Comes with the original text in the original kanji and the 16 bit naked lady tits. I've got the PSX and DS version just incase.

It was on page 2 and people were talking about Chrono Trigger.



Also the Wii-U thread must linger and be held onto for hope against hope, much like the Wii-U itself.

TBH this has been a pretty weak rear end console war, everything is set for 2015 pretty much. Like poo poo is only going to be in danger of being washed out by the sheer mass of games for 3 outta the 4 systems.

If grinding is an issue for you, don't get monster hunter. The game gets a whole lot less fun when you have to kill the same monster in the same place a dozen times in a row to make some piece of gear you want. It can be pretty slow going.

Yeah, especially when it's that loving rear end in a top hat bird that imitates other large monsters' distress call, and suddenly you've got multiple big monsters hunting you down.

Other than that, game is good. Would be great if not for some strange design choices, like the font that is nearly unreadable on a 60" TV and the camera that snaps in 30-degree vertical adjustments at a time. And that loving rear end in a top hat bird.

I was counting the 3DS

Vita is like the little guy in Total Recall who's fused to the chest at this point, so it still counts as one guy with the PS4.

Well since Bloodborne is about going in blind before you finally see where you're going and start killing everyone. The other two systems are screwed then, if we're using that GOT analogy.

Mario Kart was the red wedding and Wii-U was Lord Fray.

In GOT metaphors the Wii U can only be Daenerys.

Bungie is house Frey, Destiny is the Red Wedding, PS is house Lannister, Xbox is house Stark, and Halo is Walder Frey's wife.

So the Wii U has the coolest things that no one else ever gets to see, was betrayed after an unprecedented partnership, has no idea what it's doing to win the console wars, and occasionally can be found in a field making GBS threads itself.

Sounds about right.

That's closer to arcade racers like Burnout, especially since it was made by the same developer. It got a good port, at least.

It did, but the delay wasn't for that, it was because of Microsoft demanding that the game have a simultaneous release.
