FE 3H is my first in the series and I love it. If you’re a gogogogo gamer you will not like it. I think the voice acting is really good and so far I’m actually interested in the story. The battles are good and the Harry Potter sim is supremely up my alley.

FE 3H retroactively makes Fates absolutely horrible and Awakening quite overrated.

Three houses is the best game on Switch I did like Conquest more on the ganeplay side though. Hopefully the free lunatic DLC fixes the difficulty.

I’ve played every Fire Emblem since the GBA ones and I’d rank them as: GBA games Awakening Three Houses GameCube games Everything else I’m still enjoying Three Houses (deep into Part 2 now) but there’s basically no tactics involved. It used to be you had to think really hard about how you split your party to cross the map. You had to blow up a wall or lay a bridge. You had to park your knight at the choke point or risk getting totally destroyed. You had to rescue villages before brigands and pirates got there. You got objectives that said “stay alive for 10 turns” and it really felt like you were struggling to stay afloat. Ballistas and forts were things you would push hard to reach. Enemies were hugely diverse — there’d be a swordmaster you’d have to tip toe around because he was carrying a Killing Edge. Item shops (and secret shops) existed only on the map so you had to make an actual effort to get there. Enemies carried things so you’d work your strategy around stealing poo poo. Enemy thieves would always appear in maps with chest so you couldn’t just dally. The only kind of strategizing I do now is ensure my fliers stay outside the range of archers. Slightly powerful opponents can be demolished with combat arts or forged weapons. I do like the new combat-specific mechanics. But then they also took out things like rescue, Pair Up and shove (mostly). They added way more abilities & combat arts but only allow you to use very very few. I mean it’s Fire Emblem, I’m never gonna not enjoy it. But there really isn’t much strategy to the game.

Vegetable posted:I’ve played every Fire Emblem since the GBA ones and I’d rank them as: Three houses has way better map design and way more side objectives than Awakening though (at least in post time skip maps and paralogues). I do agree that it could be a lot better though, the biggest issue is that the game is just too easy even on hard. Also removing Pair up was an excellent choice. Not having Warp or Rescue just depends on which units you have and everyone can learn basic combat assists like draw back or shove from the basic classes.

A major part of TTH's ease is how much excess stuff it gives you. I want to try a run sometime where I just don't do any school stuff beyond the lectures and paralogs and see how that pans out. I feel like if I didn't have the extra levels/stats/items it would probably be better balanced. That and magic is kind of absurdly overpowered. I guess the limit is supposed to be how often you can use it but the odds of actually running out of magic before a stage ends are pretty slim.

If you have a family member or a roommate who isn't doing the transfer, you can transfer your account to their Switch and then transfer over your account from theirs to the new one. I just did that and it went flawlessly.

Mister Facetious posted:I think this is a bug specific to the build; there are certain areas in DooM 3 where movement simply doesn't work at the proper speed. I noticed this a few hours in, around/just past the Alpha Labs; found a corridor where run speed was noticeably slower, with no real reason to explain it. I'm getting the same issues in both Turok games and even Picross so i definitely think there's also a problem with my controller.

i have finished PictoQuest. Pros: *Puzzle design is actually really good, they tend to be towards the easier side of things because you have other things to worry about while solving them, but they all are recognizable, well-designed and essentially never frustrating, even when you get to the 20x20 puzzles. *The game handles exactly like the Jupiter games, so it just feels right. You won't have any control issues coming into this from the S series, even with the extra buttons you need for the game. *The graphic design is fun, if a bit simple. It looks like a cute little RPG, which is basically what it is, and the monsters are kinda fun and not totally predictable. *What music I listened to is pretty good too, even though i basically never have volume on when I'm picrossing. Cons: *The actual gimmick of the game doesn't really add all that much to it. Watching the monsters really only amounts to pressing L or R occasionally during the few matches against multiple monsters, what few items there are are helpful but the hints aren't really necessary for the puzzles except when that attack bar is bearing down on you, and I never once struggled with losing enough hearts to matter until I got to the final boss, and even that was mostly due to sloppy play on my part. *The writing is... rough. There are rare moments of funny but it's mostly incredibly bland and could definitely have used a once-over by a native english speaker to fix some gramatical/spelling errors. Also the story is pretty perfunctory, but that's not really why you're playing this now is it? *it's fairly short, and reusing puzzles seems unnecessary. I took it all down in a few hours over a couple days, and there's no replay value aside from maybe going through it again down the road in a year or so. *The economy is pretty useless. The game tosses items your way often, so much so that i never had to buy one, and was constantly selling them because i rarely used them and you can only hold 5. The only things worth buying are a pair of extra hearts that cost quite a lot of coins, but I had bought both of them by about the halfway point, and by the end I had enough to buy two more (which they don't sell, probably because it would totally trivialize the puzzling.) Overall, if you are a picross fiend like me you'll probably get your $10 out of it if you're finished with the S series and the weird anime-Picross games, and/or you want to take a break from the almost infinite color puzzles of Pic-a-Pix. It's on sale right now for $8.50 which i would jump on right now so you can keep it for later, especially because the actual picross puzzles are good enough that DLC or a sequel would be quite welcome, so sending some money their way would encourage them to keep working. This feels very much like a proof-of-concept, and there are a lot of directions they could go to make it better.

KingSlime posted:Ahhh yeah that sounds horrible haha. I want to play rpg chess and see a cool dramatic plot with sweet art assets, not play pretend that I personally am socializing with my little knights. I'm cool with story and do enjoy good characterization, social sim stuff though naaaaaaah. Support convos were always unfun or uninteresting to me and awakening's offspring stuff was even worse I'm curious to know what you think. We seem to be of a similar mind set. The favorable comparison I need is not with the 3ds games but rather with the two Blazing Sword games and the Radiant duo.

io_burn posted:FWIW the new Fire Emblem game is the first Switch game I genuinely regret buying. It takes roughly 50 minutes of dialog and anime before you even gain control of your character outside of a single ultra-brief tutorial battle. I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t played a Fire Emblem game since GBA and don’t know what’s going on but it’s probably the worst out of box experience I’ve had in a modern video game in quite some time. ruh roh

The map design is fine but nothing really remarkable (paralogues and post time skip maps can be pretty good though). The biggest problem the game has is that it's far too easy, even on hard. There's free Lunatic DLC coming soon™ so I hope that fixes it. The characterization and supports are definitely the biggest strength the game has though and it's by far the best FE on that front. It's automatically better than the Radiant duo because the slow animations don't make every map take two hours.

Yeah, I got really bored with Awakening about halfway through. I got too into the anime eugenics to get the best kids and it burned me out. I've been playing Three Houses nonstop since I got it. The support conversations are great, I went with Black Eagles and do not regret it for a second. There's a lot of depth to these dumbass kids. Well, most of them, Hubert's just an actual ruthless rear end in a top hat and it's good they don't dull his edge. Recruited Ingrid, Felix, Sylvain, and Raphael and the first three fit in quite nicely with the overall Black Eagles arc. Raphael's just there to have a good time and I appreciate the lad. But yeah, I'll probably do a harder difficulty on NG+.
