This was me too, and I decided to go for it. What people told me in another thread is that, basically, SMT is similar to Persona with more of a focus on difficulty and dungeon-crawling. If it helps you decide, there is a pretty awesome deal where you get $30 eShop credit if you register Fire Emblem and this SMT game…

I have the Varia Suit chest, but it's my only one so I'm not sure I want to give it up. :[ It was actually the first Nintendo item I got, I think—was in the first couple of days at least. I have the boots too, so I'm just missing the helmet (and pants if those exist also?).

I have an arwing, goal pole, and fire bar, but the Makar's Mask would be cool; I don't have one of those yet. I literally have three Majora's Masks—it's a cool item, but I'm actually disappointed to get it now because I want new things.

Yeah, me too. For a while I was farming beetles while watching TV or reading websites. I'm a bit tempted to start again for a little while though, because there are a couple big public works projects that I want to complete...

I can see the benefit of this, and two weeks ago I might have done it. But I'm starting to feel like Animal Crossing is more fun when I don't relentlessly farm beetles. These days I just play for an hour or so doing all the sort of daily tasks, sending some letters, and checking out new things. I feel like it's a bit…

Actually, I despise game-over sequences—they're frustrating and annoying in difficult games. The Goldeneye blood-dripping-down-your-screen sequence haunts me to this day. I wasn't very good at first person shooters then (who am I kidding, I'm not good at them now), so I saw that a lot running single player and it just…

Thanks!

I kind of like both, but I'm so terrible at them that I generally avoid them. I play starcraft sometimes...against computer opponents. :(

FTL is worth it I think. I picked it up on some other Steam sale and I played it endlessly for a couple weeks. The game itself is pretty short, but that's deceptive because there are loads of things to unlock and you have to play the game repeatedly to unlock them. That, and unless you're better than I was, it'll take…

That might be it, but honestly, there are lots of Jeopardy questions that you can answer by knowing only the answer to the "hint" without knowing the answer to the actual question. So I'm still kind of surprised they didn't take it.

I know of Rock Paper Shotgun. I don't really have the money to fund a lot of kickstarters though (just graduated law school, so hopefully that will improve sooner or later). This series was near and dear to my heart when I was a kid, so I might have made an exception...considering it's met its goal I might just wait…

That split is kind of how my thoughts are going too. I'd like to believe that he has some legitimate creative reason for this, and if that's someone's vision they should go for it. But he's so arrogant and "I just don't care" about it all that I feel like it's not about that.

He sounds incredibly arrogant based on that piece. The "don't buy it if you don't like it" line is ridiculously reductionist—every work of art that has an audience large enough to care about gets criticized. Having a game with only a male character is totally fine if that's your creative vision, but it doesn't sound…

If the combat has been holding you back, I wouldn't count on it being different. I don't really know what you mean by slow (pokemon seems fast-paced compared to a lot of JRPGs to me), but the combat has been pretty consistent since Red/Blue and it doesn't appear to be changing.

That's what villagers in Animal Crossing say when they're planning on moving out (or something similar to that).

I'm vaguely aware that it exists, but I never played it...maybe if I ever get any free time this summer I'll look into it.

Well, if you like the look of this, you could always play the old Tex Murphy games. Luke makes fun of them, but they're actually kind of fun imo, as long as you don't mind FMV and old-school point-and-click gameplay. They're on GOG apparently; I've played Under a Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive (my personal…

They're rebooting Tex Murphy?! How did I miss this! I would have totally backed that kickstarter. I don't care that it's hammy and FMV-ified, I played those games when I was like twelve and nostalgia conquers all.

I am from the USA, and I'm not sure there is actually a reason. I think people just think Nicolas Cage's face is funny in things.
