bravely default gives you the best grinding ability ever in the lategame, where you insta-kill all random encounters and keep the xp / jp / gold

The best video game of all time was Air Hockey for the playstation one and all future games can only attempt to emulate what made it great.

Portable videogame systems are bullshit. There's some quality software on that 3DS, but all of it needs me to be towering over this tiny kid's toy, looking like a lumbering halfwit trying to tax this nerdy little machine's lunch money. Only the lunch money is units of fun or something. Fun bucks. Who do I seduce to get the SuperGameboy equivalent of a 3DS out on the Wii-U? It would make all this poo poo go away and it already has a second screen right there!

I should reiterate that its only grindy bullshit if you play on lunatic. You can easily get away with no grinding on other difficulties.

you'll never have an aha moment like other games because every conclusion you make is either incredibly obvious or they make the conclusion for you in five minute scripted scene using stupid gadgets instead of letting you think and solve mystery
they regularly ruin the flow of cases by having wacky diversions near the end
but mostly it's the first part that's rly rly bad

thats why i liked the old ones, that aha moment that just werent ever present because it guided you through every last nontrivial thought. and the end of case 3 where you're in a confrontation and it's cool and then you do wacky anime statue poses, removing any bit of tension, sucked also

The sale lasts the whole week. Check Amazon warehouse deals because I've gotten most of these games listed for around 20 bucks each for almost new/brand new condition, which would be 40 bucks in total anyways.

Or see if some other retailer will price match the controller.
