Those PAL "sales" are starting to make me think I should've imported a 3DS from the US and just lived with buying everything digitally.

To be "fair," Europe doesn't do Thanksgiving or Black Friday, but splitting store sales like this is still incredibly dumb garbage.

Black Friday is becoming a thing here I think (in the UK at least)

Sort of, but not really. I mean, Amazon and other retailers have seized on the fact that we're dimly aware of it from the US and use it as an excuse to do sales, but we still don't have people traditionally trampling each other to death over discount TVs the day after Thanksgiving. :v:

It'd be swell if PAL could've also gotten sales on Devil Survivor Overclocked but I guess I can't expect too much of Atlus when it took them two years to release it in Europe.

I already own it on PC so no real need to get it on 3DS, I was just wondering if it was worth owning. Shame that Capcom didn't bother supporting it, though. :(

Space Hulk? Isn't that the Games Workshop classic boardgame? I remember playing a computer version of it in the 90s, and it was good.

It's a port of the newer computer adaptation, which got some very mixed reviews, largely for being too much of a direct adaptation of the boardgame and lacking any real single-player campaign. Hopefully, the WiiU release is a port of the Ascension Edition rerelease, which fixed quite a few technical issues with the game.

A newer version came out on PC 2 years ago that isn't poo poo.

That's the HD version.

Which wasn't poo poo, so that dude's wrong. It's a great port, especially since they fixed mouse aiming a month or so after release so the mouse now acts like a mouse instead of emulating a Wiimote.

Is it even worth buying the Riot Shotgun?

Its final upgrade is a 100 shell magazine, which will carry you through some of the harder difficulties because upgrading ammo capacity fills your magazine to the max.

That's the Striker actually :eng101: Which also takes up less inventory space.

Oh, :rip:, you're right. I completely forgot there's a 1014 in the game in addition to the Striker/Ithaca.

The 1014 does have one advantage, which is that it has crazy range for a shotgun due to the tighter spread, but that's about it.

I love Musou games, but you basically have to play them in relatively small doses and not try to 100% the mainstream ones, it'd take an insane amount of time.

DQH is different enough from Dynasty/Samurai/Orochi that it's noticeable. Same with Hyrule Warriors, to a lesser extent.

The Gundam Musou games are definitely mainstream Warriors games. Not sure about Arslan (I imagine it is) or the One Piece ones, though.

Really, when people say "the main Musou series" they mean Dynasty/Samurai/Orochi.

It's essentially New 3DS only, but since it technically "runs" on an old 3DS, they didn't put the label on, which is pretty silly. :(

Is revelations worth getting on the 3ds? I am a crazy person who enjoyed the core mechanics of RE6 if that makes a difference.

It's a solid (if a bit short and repetitive) RE game which controls like RE4/5 with the ability to strafe while aiming but no gun upgrade mechanics (instead, you have boring numerical stat mods to slot in to your guns), and is closer to older RE games in terms of tone. It's good for $5 if you enjoy both styles of RE games.
