Rate my 3DS purchases

Over a week has passed since I bought my 3DS and so far I've been pleased with it. Than again out of the 33:03 hours I've clocked up on it, 22:20 hours have been spent on Tales of the Abyss. Pullbox comes second at 2:23 hours. I'm not going to get all soulsnatcher fanboy shit about it but I like my 3DS. Mainly because of TotA. Ok, just because of TotA.

I've also decided to buy some 3DS gaems. I picked up OoT, Dead or Alive and Ghost Recon. Combined its costing me

I'm glad to see you're enjoying Tales of the Abyss. Maybe now you'll buy Tales of Graces in September?

Also, add me.

Ghost Recon isn't Hardcore? It's got guns and shooting and explosions and blood. Hardcore.

Dude, you just described my average weekend.

I've heard decent things on Ghost Recon, only reason it didn't tempt me was because I'm really done with strategy games.

Dead or Alive looked kinda shit, I don't think too highly of 3D fighters that don't have "Soul" and "Calibur" in the names though.

Ocarina of Time is laughable. I paid $10 for the Virtual Console version.

Holy crap you got 33 hours already?
I've had mine for over half a year and only got between 50-100 (Less than my time on Black Ops and Pokemans)

ALL BECAUSE OF TALES OF THE ABYSS!!!

No. A combination of price and selection has put me off it to be honest. I'm still slightly amazed at myself for spending a tenner on Shantae: Risky Revage. The pricing on the eShop is pretty appalling. I'm looking at PSN and I'm finding content there much more reasonable and I'm far from a fan of PSN.

I thought Nintendo gamers prided themselves on not caring about visuals?

Even then, it played fine, it's not like it was chugging along at 10FPS.

Europeans only hope for an Atlus game seems to be either Nintendo themselves or Ghostlight, which did an amazing work for the PSP and PS3 tittles (and they did announce they were working on bringing over Overclocked, so that's a good sign).

Also, Ghost Recon is a pretty good strategy game, although somewhat dif from most strategy rpg's.
Oh, and yeah, most games on the eShop are pretty expensive, although some are pretty fun time killers that you can get for 2€.

I'm hoping Ghostlight will do it.But Nintendo publishing MegaTen? More chance of me publishing the game then Ninty.

Well, other than those the only one I see that would be willing to do it is Rising Star Games, they publish a lot of games by atlus that would otherwise never make it here.

    they're giving the internet an open text box?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I never played or own any of they devices, but I like small style, but with a somewhat grip

    oh man, that always goes great!
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    im sure half the responses won't be literal racial slurs or "drop table" jokes
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Look, it's China. They know what it's like when you give a poll to half a billion trolls.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much dollar do you think it is?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    ONE MILLION DOLLA
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    you know which game i wish they would rerelease
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    sonic unleashed

    Make it a happy meal toy
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    is sega just personally fucking with me? are they laughing while watching me through my kinect camera as i get up to restart my xbox for the third time because the game froze again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Buy handhelds from five below better quality
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Valve probably going to do another refresh of the deck this fall with rog ally like specs tbh
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A smaller form factor would be nice too.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    A shield portable 2 would be nice aye Nvidia
