I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
Oh well if you count when someone said it, yeah, I guess someone did say it.

What are you talking about my comments never brought up ratings. I got no beef with gay marriage I just made a passing comment in how the gaming outlets are fixating on it to get to my point: I think marriage of any sort and housekeeping in FE is dumb and not fun.

Anyways this conversation got dumb and not fun.

It probably would've been better if you just made your point without leading off with the gay marriage thing.

That said, personally, I enjoyed the support conversation/marriage aspects of Awakening a lot and I'm glad to see it expanded on.

idk about that but it'll probably be M because you can be a creepy incestuous paedophile and also torture people (with sounds that allegedly seem like rape)

Basically now that the game is seemingly out in Japan and people are posting impressions any interest I had in the game completely deflated

lol @ some of the responses

All I'm saying is I didn't care much for the relationship aspects of earlier titles so having them be a bigger focus is concerning to me and a little disheartening as I fear it will take focus away from the core game. Ninty throwing same-sex couples into the fray feels like an expansion of the family building mechanics, along with the whole town building shienanigans. Surely y'all have played enough video games to understand that when certain features are implemented or emphasized by devs on a schedule, other aspects of the game run the risk of being neglected or rushed. Then there's the whole path split/DLC options, which are clear attempts at squeezing more revenue outta one project.

Don't crucify me cuz I don't want an anime waifu now, this isn't the Vita thread (yet).

I'm not a FE guy, but lurking the threads has given me the impression that the core gameplay and mission design is an across the board improvement from Awakening and that the other stuff doesn't detract from it.

I think you may have mixed the game up with Vita classic Criminal Girls.

I don't get what it is with people exaggerating the content of games to the point where if they were telling the truth, the game would be rated AO and not released. Nobody is just going to plop loving rape in their game as a side mechanic.

Like the Nowi poo poo in Awakening was really creepy, but at a point you should probably realize there's no way that is gonna happen.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good game for a day in airports and on planes? Xenoblade and such are a bit too long to make a dent in in that time (also, I have Xenoblade on the Wii), but it also needs to be able to be put down easily for boarding and such. Maybe a good level based action or puzzle game or something?

If you've got any specific questions just ask the FE14 thread, there's a few goons playing the game so they should probably be able to answer anything. As for just general stuff the wiki or the serenes forest forums probably have the most information.


And yeah, it's a shame there's only a single option for gay marriages but even in my best case scenario I didn't think they'd include same-sex relationships at all, just that they'd imply it heavily without actually committing to it. So even having a token gay option at all kind of floored me.

It's very token compared a ton of western games from recent years, but yeah, going explicit with this kind of stuff is a pretty big deal for a Japanese game, especially one from a mainstream developer.

I'm going to give Nintendo the benefit of a doubt and assume they wrote the gay relationships in such a way that they're with characters that are canonically gay (or at least bisexual). It's more restrictive than the Bethesda method where every NPC is Opportunity Bi and you can bang whoever you want with whatever character you want, but speaking as a gay dude I always thought that was kinda hollow anyway.

Not that a world where everybody's happy to do anybody wouldn't be absolutely great. :v:

Both gay characters have S-links with either gender, yeah. You wouldn't necessarily pick the gay dude but the gay girl is pretty fanservice-y: it's either not-Tharja or Literally Tharja, I'm not quite clear on how that all works right now.

I just watched the trailer for 3D Sonic 1 and it didn't look like it had any 3D effect at all. I was kind of expecting it to be like Kirby where the backgrounds had depth, but if they did I didn't notice the effect at all.

That's really dumb because I know what Sonic 1 looks like and Sonic 1 isn't appealing enough to get me to pay $3 for it. But if it was Sonic 1 with a cool 3D effect, I might consider that just for the novelty and because it's only $3.

There should usually be at least a few sample screenshots in 3D, on the store page below the trailer.

Well, if there's a 3D effect on the screenshots then it is more subtle than I can see. I tilted the 3DS side to side and didn't see any ghosting and I flicked the slider on and off and all I saw was a change in brightness. I watched the Kirby trailer for comparison and the 3D instantly jumped out (or I guess in), so I don't know what Sega's problem is.

The videos and screenshots for the first wave of Sega games aren't in 3d, but the games themselves are.

Sonic has the option to do either fall-in or pop-out 3D, as well as a classic mode that gives the effects of playing on an old CRT. The game looks real crisp in 3D, and the classic mode is actually done really well and gave me a huge blast of nostalgia. Sega has done a fantastic job with all of there 3D classics, and Sonic is no exception.
