Dude, thank you SO much. I think I found one that might actually fit.

I think I overleveled Mario & Luigi WAY too much in Bowser's Inside Story.

They're both on Level 33 and Bowser is like 10 levels below (or Level 23).

Oh, I can't wait.

I just done about an hour and a half of work in OoT3D and it just said that my game card was removed. Forcing me to go back to the 3DS menu and making me LOSE ALL OF THAT FREAKING WORK I'VE DONE.

Normally it wouldn't bother me. But I got 3 heart pieces (upgraded my health by a heart at that point) upgraded my slingshot and stick count and ended up grabbing 3 gold skulltulas.


****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started playing Kingdom Hearts 3D and I'm surprised at how good it was. I went in with low expectations and only wanting to just play another KH game for my own sake, but I'll definitely be playing this one through.

Everything is super pretty. When I'm playing this version, it's like I'm playing the game again for the first time. I can hardly remember what the old graphics looked like.

Awww nice Makes me want a 3DS. But then if I get one I'll spend too much time on it !

Well, I've been playing a combination of Overlord and New Vegas, the latter of which I have bought for the second time in my life after previously selling it about a year ago because I was short on money. Anyway, I'm surprised at how fun Overlord is, despite being similar to Pikmin, which I never got into.

Also, as I've mentioned before, I got interested in Valkyria Chronicles. So, I got it for Christmas, and holy crap am I having fun. The story isn't all too interesting, but it serves its purpose of explaining why you fight and who the bad guys are. Nothing to outstanding in that department. But, the actual gameplay is where it shines, for me at least. It feels like a mix of Makai Kingdom and Advance Wars.

Also, this one goes out to the Bumble-Bro Cody. DMC is alright. I find it no better than any other entry in the series, and the new characterizations of Dante and Vergil are dumb, along with the story of "media is evil, man!" Also, the combo system is far too forgiving, as I was able to SSS-rank most fights without too much effort. The actual combat is ok, though I disliked how you were forced to use certain weapons on certain enemies, thereby limiting your potential ability to making the really over the top kinda combos (though I'm sure you'll respond with a video of some sort trying to prove me wrong, I will still stand by my statement). And lastly, making the Bloody Palace as DLC is fucking stupid.

It's not actually media being evil since Bob uses it as his weapon to brainwash humanity. If the story was really about the media being evil then such products in the game like Virility adverts wouldn't be so successful and Bobs news channel would also fail. The "evil product" is Virility itself which is drunk by the humans. Even still that's not even the story(dunno how you missed that). Those are back themes but it's a typical story of revenge. Dante and Vergil don't care about the humans but only dethroning Mundus.

As for the ranking, it is too giving. It honestly should be tweaked to be much tougher or along the lines of DMC4. Having said that, I find it surprising how no-one mentions that DMC1 was easily the worst offender of easy ranks. I was playing DMC1 yesterday and did combo B to get an instant A rank. Even DmC isn't that giving, but it's still meh. Doing a Demon Dodge into an attack for instant SSS is bull-. I'd rather distance myself from DMC scrubs but this game wants to close that gap apparently.

Also, yeah I didn't mind the enemies at first but those colour coded enemies are bullshit. Talking about killing the flow of the game to force us into Ikaruga style gameplay. Good ideas but it should've stayed ideas rather than actually put in the game. Plus, the other enemies like Drevak, Dreamrunners and Rages have such awesome designs yet completely BS when it comes to comboing them since they can jump out of a combo. Stupid! What's the point of being able to stun them and start a combo if they pop out of it?

Dante and Vergil? I liked 'em better than the older version. Actually had better a story and dialogue. oldVergil is too one-dimensional and oldDante is a cocky-cheesy white hair pretty boy that I laughed at rather than thought "that was cool". Apart from in DMC4 when he matured.

Bloody Palace being DLC. Stupid idea, the fact it's DLC (free by the way) means that they obviously forgot to include it in the game. How do you forget Bloody Palace? That's like Resident Evil forgetting The Mercenaries. At least it's free DLC.

If you want decent combat videos then check out my YouTube (or page 12) to see some combos. Seriously this game has a lot of the old mechanics of the old game like JCing, Weapon Switching and Buffering (if you even took the older games seriously).

Dunno where I'd put it in the series... better than 2 (Who liked 2)? MUCH better story than 1, 3 and 4, but the combat of 3 and 4 is better.

So, I got to play Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga on a emulator.

And I suck.

@Cody Well, now see, I don't like new Vergil. At least old Vergil lived by some code of samurai-like honor, not like when [Spoiler]new Vergil shoots(Vergil does not use guns!) a pregnant demon, from behind, in the abdomen to kill her unborn child, then let her suffer for a minute before shooting her in the head. At least old Vergil would have killed her while looking her in the eyes, as well as make it a swift death, not torture her like that.[/Spoiler]

Plus, as I thought would happen, I got really tired of the swearing really fast. If they can't make jokes without swearing, don't bother making jokes at all.

That's the point of a reboot. The DMC team even stated that if Ninja Theory are even going to bother making Dante and Vergil the same, then they would've made another generic DMC game. There's a reason why both are so distant yet at the same time, similar. Both don't care about humans and consider themselves above them and have the same backstory but different futures. I did like oldVergil too, but he didn't really feel developed. A great character but just needed that little bit more other than being so linear. But in DmC alone you learn a lot about newVergil.

As for the spoiler, again, that's the point of making them so distant. Why make a different story and setting if you're going to compare it to the old one? Also, that's the only time he ever used a gun; that one scene. He uses summoned swords and has his Devil Trigger intact.

As for swearing, eh. I've played plenty of games (like the recent Lollipop Chainsaw which FAR more swearing in the beginning stage than the entire of DmC), watched plenty of films with swearing and read books with swearing to be mature enough about it.
