The Taint Reaper posted:But activision doesn't seem to have any distribution fuckery with Skylanders(or atleast from what I've seen). Oh no they definitely screwed up with Trap Team in some aspects from what I've been able to ascertain in the last few months. Basically because they actually did the consumer a solid by making it so that individual traps can be reused (so you only need one for each element) they vastly, vastly overestimated how many kids would want to buy/bug their parents to buy all the different variants of traps. And since the game already comes with a life trap and a water trap, what you'll almost always see unless stores have just outright emptied their Skylanders section are pegs just littered with water traps, many times just overflowing onto the floor. And that overstock seemed to end up actually screwing over later waves of stuff, such as traps of the new light and dark elements which now go for a minimum of twenty dollars. It's a clusterfuck of over and under-stock which is bizarre because up until this entry they were pretty good with keeping mostly everything in balance in previous years from what I saw.

There's a rumor around that Rodea the Sky Soldier got delayed to November everywhere.Madame Ovary posted:is this where we post if we've just purchased a n3DS and are friendless sad sacks who live in a country where no one has a 3DS and want to swap friend codes with people for some reason (I don't even actually know what they are for) You can play some games online with friends like Pokémon and Animal Crossing. Most titles don't really support this feature so you won't miss out on much if you don't have a big list of people. Aside that you can see what your friends are playing and you used to be able to send them messages of crudely drawn dicks, but Nintendo cut that out. RIP Swapnote.

epitasis posted:sounds like a great game lmao I can never understand the appeal of these "life RPGs" - stuff like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, etc. - why not just do all of that stuff in real life and enrich your actual existence? I get stuff like The Sims, or even job-specific simulators, since there is an element of power fantasy and wish-fulfillment there. But when it comes to gameplay like doing chores, paying your mortgage, earning income, forming relationships, etc. it just seems like such a waste of time & energy to me. Not judging anyone, just intrigued by the psychology of all this.

Sometimes as I play Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition on the PS2, I ask myself why I do not just move into a rural valley with an old guy and live on a farm and then get married to a cute pianist girl who lives in a rich mansion with her grandparents, and then bother a talking vase inside a tree that is home to magical farming spirits until he agrees to ensure that my child ends up being a boy who loves macrame.

^E: Don't get me wrong, I love plenty of chill games like the Kirby series, Endless Ocean, etc. - just curious about what people get out of games that essentially revolve around performing mundane everyday tasks. It sounds like the art style and personality of the games have more to do with it than the actual gameplay. The general vibe, which I guess I can understand.mutata posted:I'll round out the responses to this silliness by pointing out that video games themselves actually enrich my actual existence.

On a different note: anybody ever play the DS game Blue Dragon Plus? I just played the tutorial and it seems like a neat semi-real-time tactical RPG. Kinda like a hybrid of Star Ocean: Second Story & FF Tactics. I understand it's a sequel to the 360 game, but I never played much of that (despite the beautiful art & graphics), but the story seems pretty easy to pick up.

I'm gonna need some help here. So my girlfriend was gonna start Monster Hunter 4 on her New 3DS and downloading the update seems to have corrupted the data on her SD card. All of her downloaded 3DS games aren't showing up. Are there any fixes for this without having to reformat the card? It'll destroy her to have to start her Animal Crossing town all over again.

She coincidentally backed up her SD card to her laptop this morning. So right now she's deleting the card and copying everything over. But part of me is thinking Animal Crossing isn't gonna like that for Nintendo reasons.
