I kind of feel bad for this game. It looks cool...but i think it might bomb

by **Windsor** » 14 May 2012 16:03

Between this and Torchlight 2, I still don't understand why Diablo III is getting any attention.

by **Oregano** » 14 May 2012 16:08

This'll do until I get mah Crystal Chronicles 3D!:P

Dibs on gunner btw.

Go support this title. I really feel it's utilizing features that a lot of other 3DS games pass on. So far so good.

@Lockdale
I really do enjoy the fact that it has a ton of features a lot of 3DS games lack, but every time I look at the gameplay footage...it just isn't a game for me. It looks so dull and repetitive. not my type of game, unfortunately.

I also think it is headed for trouble (and why is SE releasing 3 games in 3 weeks for the 3DS!? - I might get Kingdom Hearts instead, I can't afford them both!).

I'm hopeful it will be a good multiplayer game, but not holding out much hope for it any other way.

@Artistic_Anarchy

That concerns me too. I have Torchlight, and I get bored with it after awhile, which is why I haven't finished it. But I like the multiplayer aspect and the fact it's on a portable system. Games like this I only enjoy in short spurts, but I'm still getting it since that's what I do with most of my 3DS games anyway.

I'd hope that's just you being sarcastic.

Myself and 4 dudes I know that have a 3DS are stoked to get this. It's all about the multiplayer. Gonna be great!

by **link2dpast** » 14 May 2012 17:26

I mean if the animations were fluid i could have easily overlooked the graphics but neither are impressive. I'm only getting this game for its robust Multiplayer features.

by **The_King_Up_North** » 14 May 2012 17:33

Why is there no lighting whatsoever? I mean, I know there's light, otherwise everything would be dark, but where's the light source? Everything is just...lit. There are no reflections or shadows, for example. This is a 3DS game, not a DS game.

Just another complaint to go along with all the other complaints I have with this game.

This is all on Square Enix in the end. They can choose to let this bomb or not. It's their game in the end. It looks like they've chosen to let it bomb though. They aren't taking advantage of the eShop at all it seems. You can't even search for the game anymore unless you had it on your wishlist. Even that old video is now gone. I doubt they're even talking with Nintendo of America to make sure they know when it's coming out since it isn't on the releasing soon list on Nintendo.com.

This and how slow releases are coming for the 3DS in general is seriously making me reconsider getting a PS Vita. What happens at E3 will make me decide. I just hope Sony and Nintendo start doing things differently.

However I've been worried about Heroes of Ruin for a while though.

by **kdognumba1** » 14 May 2012 18:12

The way this game will be taking advantage of all the 3DS's wireless features and multiplayer options sounds awesome. I just hope that the gameplay can hold up to it.

by **ThanyIlia** » 14 May 2012 20:32

The graphics look good enough, especially for a game that supports 4 player online co-op. Gameplay is another story.. hard to tell from this trailer, which mainly shows off a lot of colorful effects and big monsters.

Your solution for a handheld with a lack of games is to buy a Vita? :p

Seriously though, this is a new IP, Square Enix should be marketing it, guess we'll see if they do so.

@Shaanyboi
Seconded. What the hell?

I'm not saying this game won't be good, by the way. Honestly, I want it, even while not having a 3DS.

But comparing it to Diablo III is like comparing apples to apple pie. You may enjoy both, and they look similar, but... it's a very different experience.

by **metalpants** » 14 May 2012 22:25

That animation has zero smoothness. I'm not liking the graphics in the videos they've been releasing (cause the 3D screenshots on the 3DS look great with bump-mapping and such) but the online multiplayer can't be overlooked. If this game isn't all it's cranked up to be, then Monster Hunter TriG/4 will be the title(s) this one will hold me off till.

To have more variety and games to play it is an option for me to consider. Like I said it depends on what happens at E3 and if Sony tries to make a strong push outside of Japan given what is happening in Japan. A system where the focus seems to be on Japan compared to a system that might focus on having games for it outside of Japan. That's the possible choice. I'm not seeing what I want to see in regard to the 3DS when it comes to western releases. The 3DS can get tons of games and it seems to be but that mattes nothing to me if they stay in Japan the way they seem to be doing.

Weird, I think the graphics look fine. Also looks like fun.

Maybe I'm looking at a different trailer...

by **thorn-rock** » 15 May 2012 06:20

@Oregano

same here, I'll get this to keep me waiting for the next FFCC. Man this licence was one of my absolute favorite last gen. 3 awesome games... I really think they should announce a multiplatform FFCC playable on both WiiU and 3DS. Man that would be a dream come true.

I'm just scared that Square-Enix might consider this as a replacement to the CC series. I hope I'm wrong... we'll see.

by **Chris TouchDowns** » 15 May 2012 19:39

this looks very much like diablo, and I just got diablo.... I wonder if I will need to get this game anymore.
