I don't know if puzzles and dragons can really qualify as puzzles, it's just standard match 3 with Pokemon elements unless it's different from the tablet version.
It absolutely is a puzzle game. I feel like calling PAD a "match 3" is quite a big misrepresentation. When you pick up a gem, you have a limited amount of time to freely drag it around the grid, which moves other gems on the board around at the same time, effectively allowing you to rearrange most of the board each time you take a move. Add in an RPG party system and special moves both for your team and the enemy, and there's quite a lot to consider beyond 'make line of 3 red gems'. I recommend playing the phone game/giving the Mario demo a shot and watching some tutorials before dismissing it out of hand.

It's incredibly fun once you get used to it, and (to me, at least) is a far more engaging puzzler than Bejeweled, Candy Crush and the ilk.

I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe

For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit

I am really really craving a fun puzzle game so I'm kinda looking forward to Puzzles and Dragons- especially due to my friend riding my rear end about it for a full year or so about how good it is.

Trying to look up some actual gameplay on youtube is the worst however as every video seems to be some guy making a single match and calling it quits without trying anything else, did they ever show more of the game off because I'd actually like to see what it looks like when it's played by someone who knows how to work video games.

Marvelous Europe is shared this short video of a Deep Crimson's beta build

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8-GvVd_x_o

Looks pretty drat cool :allears:

Although I'm curious as how exactly the localization is being divided. Far as I know, XSEED's doing all the heavy lifting with the translation, Marvelous Japan is implementing the translation into the game and Marvelous Europe's just publishing. And yet, is the european branch the one sharing updates.


They also shared this handy flowchart of the game's menus



Seeing two screens labeled as "ArThing" cracks me up :v:

I have had to start using Homepass, because with my cracked screen I can't take my 3DS anywhere without it getting worse.

And I can't afford to send it it yet, so I need to use Homepass until then.

Beats having to go to McDonald's for Streetpasses anyway.

The argument of games as an art form has never been truly explored... not until now, not until the 3DS got a Terra Formars game.

Wow, I haven't played any Senran games. Does it really stop like that mid-fight multiple times to show the panties of the girl? I don't care for the sex stuff, and it looks super annoying to constantly be paused to highlight that stuff.

Used to, on Deep Crimson you can turn off the feature on the options screen (under the "performance" tab) at any point.

I turned it off at the beginning of the game on my imported copy and seeing the cutscene on the video was very jarring.

If you got to the point in that video where it shows gameplay, I think you could have already gathered that it wasn't the game for you.

I'm not ashamed (I am ashamed) to say that I bought SK Burst back when it was on sale, but I still haven't actually played it yet. Along with the Year-End Eshop sale, I have so many unplayed games on my home screen now.

Speaking of stupid anime poo poo, I found this GAF post funny:

quote:

After seeing the latest lewd anime game release to be banned on gaf, I feel like these games have moved on without me.

I remember being excited when Senran Kagura was announced by XSeed and downloading it as soon as it hit the eshop. The breasts in 3D felt like real innovation but the novelty wore off pretty fast. I still bought Shinovi Versus even though I didn’t enjoy the original that much. It certainly pushed the envelope more but after a few smutty screen grabs to share I lost interest in it completely. I look at pics and videos of upcoming games in this series and just shrug now.

3D breast, true innovation.

Nope. Nintendo of Europe footed the bill last time, but since then NOE fired like half of their localization staff, so, uh. Maybe S-E will do it this time? The game is coming out in Japan now and considering how bad the market has been there lately I have no idea how well it will perform.

Wait, why? You'd think having at least half a dozen languages to translate into they'd need as many people they can get.

I don't feel like Japanese sales will have any effect on whether or not this title comes out in America and Europe. America has always been Square-Enix's biggest fanbase, even when they were SquareSoft.

I dunno. Nintendo games other than Pokemon don't really have much to translate anyway and they have been big on cost saving measures for a while. Read more here or whatever. Any extra localization and QA needed that the remaining staff won't be able to tackle will be outsourced from now on, which makes the situation be rather different: before, they had redundant people around and could get them extra projects like Xenoblade and Last Story or more recently Bravely Default. Now they would have to hire outside help.
