So if you bought a higher capacity micro SD card, say 64 gigs, would you have to reformat it like you did for the old 3DS cards or is the newer machine able to deal with it?

You still need to reformat it to FAT32.

Well, I probably won't be buying it then unless I can get it used and know that it already has a cleared game there. I just don't have any desire to play through the normal game first.

The stylus controls didn't feel good to me so I use buttons. Just use whatever works for you, you can do everything just fine with both styles.

Unless you are really only interested in the characters from Persona 3/4, Etrian Odyssey 4 is probably a better alternative to PQ.

So Shin Megami Tensei IV is pretty cool. I picked it and Soul Hackers up during the sale, never having played a SMT game before, and I'm really digging the mix of a medieval setting with futuristic technology. It's hard as gently caress though, I must have died half a dozen times in the training area before I summoned enough demons to fill out my party and help me defend myself. I really like the distinct voices the demons have, too; one of them accused me of being a pimp when I tried to convince him to join me by promising him opportunities to meet lady demons.

The difficulty is really frontloaded in SMT IV. After the first major area it gets much easier.

Neither does the iPhone but that doesn't stop them from making tons of money. Are you seriously arguing that the 3DS would have sold enough to compete with phones in sales if it had better hardware?

I'm not saying angry birds is good, but a ripoff low res version of a game everyone already has on their phone isn't the ticket

The point is that the success of phone games has very little to do with superior hardware. The people who play mainly angry birds wouldn't have bought a 3DS even if the 3ds had much better hardware.

First two are. It has nothing to do with Layton and is kind of like Ace Attorney lite, I think? I liked the first two cases, but I haven't gone back to finish yet and I'm not sure if it works on iOS 8, since Ghost Trick and that awful The World Ends With You port broke on it, so I might not finish it at all.

They still haven't fixed the twewy port?

The Dolphin HD upgrade chugs like crazy at certain points if your computer isn't amazing and apparently has audio desync problems so idk why everyone brings it up

Does everyone just have a much better computer than anything I've used?

I ran it (+ the texture pack) with a 4 year old machine a year ago with no problems. It took a bit of fiddling with the emulator settings to make it perfect but after that it worked like a charm.

Are you sure you just didn't have bad settings on the emulator? Emulators can be a bit fiddly at the best of times.

Both of those look like poo poo to me though? It's serviceable and playable, but it doesn't actually look good.

Assuming that everyone who played Xenoblade on dolphin pirated the game always leads to good conversation.

I'm sorry that I, like most people, don't have the time to build a nice fancy gaming machine or the money to buy one that's already made??? I just feel that for a lot of people running it in Dolphin isn't necessarily a (feasible) option.

A friend of mine also mentioned the game chugging at Agniritha on his nicer gaming machine, but I haven't experienced that firsthand

A new 3ds isn't a feasible option for many people either but people still talk about it. Comparing versions can be really useful for people who actually can choose between them.

Welcome to every JRPG in the last decade.

Go buy a console/gaming PC and buy a Dark Souls game or Bloodborne to wash the filthy taste out of your mouth.

You guys clearly missed the tongue in cheek aspect of telling him to play a Souls game. It's practically an SA meme nowadays.

If you want a decent western RPG for real, Witcher 1-3 (still not totally RPG, but closer than most) or a Bioware game.

Or Pillars of Eternity. :getin:

The problem with jokes like that is that they are indistinguishable from real comments.

Maybe instead of complaining about jokes you could spend your time doing more fulfilling things, like playing Dark Souls (ideally the pc port but the console versions are fine as well).

Your answer is basically "well, there's stuff in it" but I'm trying to find out why it looks horrible graphically alone. Did cramming everything they needed to on the game mean the game had to look horrible in the process? If that were the case, why didn't we see something that was multiple releases or hell, being Nintendo, multiple cartridges.

The problem is processing power, not physical space.

Nintendo should put Dark souls on the 3DS. The game might need multiple cartridges but aside from that what could possibly be a problem?

Eh, the resolution didn't bother me because it's a first-generation glasses-free 3D display. There's gonna be limitations, and we've already seen them improve upon it with the n3DS's Super-Stability. A next-gen handheld'd probably manage 3D at a much better resolution though (if they keep it in).

I would trade the 3D for better resolution and hardware in a heartbeat.
