Sakurazuka posted:Why is it a bad I idea? It seemed to work fine for me in God Eater, Toukiden and a bunch of other MH style games I've played. Its just something that you might think you need at first, but pretty quickly realize its not something that would be particularly useful. The soft lock was a good addition as a "where the heck did the monster go?" button, but once its on screen it doesn't really matter what part of the monster you're looking at so long as you can get your hits in and get a good read.

FireMrshlBill posted:And some of the smaller indie games you buy (or get from PS+) on the PS4, you get the Vita and PS3 versions included. Not all, but a decent amount. Like Shovel Knight, you buy on the PS4 and you got the Vita and PS3 downloads. Not the case for the WiiU and 3DS versions. I think some of that may be development costs, but definitely Nintendo policy as well. Yeah it probably won't matter with the NX although we still don't really know what the NX is.

Monster Hunter is good. 3D Picross 2 is good. Dragon Quest VII is good. Xenoblade is good. Spirit of Justice is good. The video games, they are all good.

I'm only on Case 2 of Spirit of Justice, and DQ7 is out tomorrow. I might pick up Bioshock Collection also. And 3D Picross 2, SMT4A and Rhythm Paradise still aren't out yet, and I'll probably only finish Spirit of Justice before any of them come out.

Yeah, seconding this. I remember initially trying to get into the series with Tri and giving up before I even got to the Great Jaggi because of all the drat gathering quests.

The only required gathering quests are at the beginning and they're only there to demonstrate that you can make items with stuff you find out in the field. Gathering is pretty moot once you have access to the Wycoon regardless.

I ended up getting Xenoblade - purchased it through the Nintendo store and holy poo poo that download was long . I still have to beat Dragon Quest V, but I've got a three hour plane ride ahead of me so I'm sure I can get pretty far.

As someone who prefers 2D Zelda to 3D Zelda because I find them faster and easier to play, I'd go up to bat for Link Between Worlds.

I'd recommend Link Between Worlds since while OoT 3D does benefit a lot from the little improvements over the original version, LBW lets you tackle dungeons in whatever order you want after a certain point and it's great

Yeah, Link Between Worlds would be my choice. OoT 3D is a great game (a lot better than the N64 original at least) but it still shows its age in some ways. Both games are good ideas if you want a starter course in a good 2D Zelda and a good 3D Zelda though.

Its still a good game, but I'd put almost every game in the series above it. Except Zelda 1, 2 and Phantom Hourglass.

LttP is pretty much my favorite game of all time, and I felt like they had a few cute nods but managed to make a very distinct game despite being a "sequel". Was there anything inparticular you felt was too much?

IMO Link Between Worlds has the dullest art style of any Zelda BUT it's a tightly crafted, fun game. A good choice when you don't have a lot of free time, so echoing that person who mentioned its length versus OOT.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'm leaning towards A Link Between Worlds now, though ignoring LttP for the time being. I'm sure it's a classic, but somehow buying a game from 1991 feels a bit weird when I want a new game. Nephzinho posted:I don't think that is necessary, in fact I'd love to hear from someone who played LBW then LttP and how they saw each. I'll try to remember this post though, and post some weird reverse order thoughts. Basically I looked at some reviews for both of the games as well, and it does sound like ALBW is the better portable option, when compared to the larger experience that is OoT? I'm sure I'll get to that eventually though, since this is mostly a matter of order. I'll just grab OoT once done with ALBW! Attestant fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Sep 15, 2016 |

I liked LBW, but I felt that a lot of it was trying to bank on LttP nostalgia that I didn't have, because I only played it about halfway through on the GBA years after a bunch of Zelda games I liked better.

HenryEx posted:LBW is better if you don't have nostalgia for LttP, actually I would argue the same, honestly. I loving love LttP and the entire first half of the game is screaming "HEY HEY DO YOU REMEMBER LINK TO THE PAST? REMEMBER HOW THERE WAS A DUNGEON HERE? WELL WE PUT ONE THERE TOO!" I mean, for gently caress's sake, the light world overworld is literally identical to the SNES original.

Ultimately I found the game a solid entry into the series, but IIRC I wasn't a huge fan of a few decisions and then I saw that they were from LttP. It's been a little over 2½ years since I last touched that game so I couldn't tell you what they were.
