The problem here is that these two are the successful fire emblems so they're just going to keep making GBS threads out the same deal, and it is my greatest wish that FE would die and this would not come to be.

Did they release it in english or do I have to ? Does it have Hector (the best guy)?!!?!?

They're releasing a remake of the second game that looks pretty drat faithful? It looks like they want to make a series out of that so those can be just for you!!

Also Fates story and character design was mostly middling to bad but the gameplay was some of the best the series has had, so I think it'll be fine.

Breath of the Wild is an all in one game that will cover all the Nintendo bases until December.

Might not be out for a while considering they just updated New Leaf. My guess i late 2018 at the earliest.

Yeah, given that Nintendo went out of their way to give New Leaf a big free expansion three years after launch kind of suggested to me that they won't have an Animal Crossing Switch game for awhile.

Its bad math because you hit the end game and then enemies are waves of heavily str skewed berserkers who turn your guys into paste with 1-3 hits and a 30% chance to turn your guys into ultra paste in 1 hit, or they are heavily armor skewed generals where most of your dudes just bounce off. There's like no middle line and it's basically rock paper scissors with that % chance of being told to reatart the game because that is certainly a lot of fun. Random stats growth basically means that half your dudes are going to be either poo poo or actually usable or very rarely stupidly over strong which is sort of neat for a laugh but actually bad for challenging the player.

Using small numbers and simple math like FE does combined with random elements like crit rate and stat growth is ultra dumb, and bad. You need a lot bigger numbers to offset that sort of poo poo. A decent example is something like warcraft3 or advance wars (big numbers w/ small ranges of random poo poo that evens out across sheer volume of attacks) versus starcraft or paper mario (small numbers without random poo poo). P mario is an example of small number and simple math being reaaaally easy to abuse, fire emblem is basically that but with crit chances because ???

I am eternally mad about fire emblem

You know what though the series is actually really good tho cuz marth was in smash bros and anime is cool and good and i have already pre-ordered the new fire emblem.

Anyways i hope to shut the gently caress up about FE soon, when the nintendo switch releases probably

Some good points, but: most FE games have almost no crit rate on enemy characters for precisely the reason that it's shite.

Also the random stat growths are usually something like "85% chance to get a point of Strength, 10% chance to get a point of Magic, 55% chance to get a point of Speed" and that person will level up a minimum of twenty times. You'll get a few characters with weird stats by the end, but the great majority of characters will be functionally identical. That's why you get so many characters, so you don't get truly statfucked.

I'm excited for the Nintendo Switch by Nintendo coming out on March 3rd, 2017.

Don't forget to also pick up a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild by Nintendo.
It releases the same day and is guaranteed to take your breath away!

The Nintendo Switch by Nintendo has a suggested retail price of $299 and will be available at most retail outlets.
But don't delay! Most pre-orders have already been claimed so be sure to line up at your favorite participating retailer to pick up your very own Nintendo Switch by Nintendo!

By the way, don't buy a stolen unit or Reggie will gently caress your rear end

Reggie "Mr. Handsome Tallman" Feesuhmei is a handsome and tall man that embodies the spirit of Nintendo. He has a commitment to excellence and an unyielding stance to bring the best product possible to market.

That being said: If you steal a Nintendo Switch by Nintendo, he will throw a Pizza Hut thin crust at you so hard it will "slice" you in two.

The moment that Nintendo Switch by Nintendo enters your Jansport backpack, off in the distance you will hear, "Distructo Disc!"

Persona 4 is about demons in highschool that come to the human world by killing themselves. The more embarrassing the suicide, the more powerful they become.
So Susan is a character that keeps killing herself with mundane and unusual methods but not really embarrassing.
The rest of her demon crew at this point have kinda given up on her being a good demon and she's like the hapless comedic relief.

The Seinfeld episode is just like one part of the game where Susan commits to a really humiliating suicide but ends up in a coma for the rest of the game but everyone else thinks she is dead.

Persona is a good game series.
