Been playing X-3D for 20 hours now and not really into it. Is just tons of minimissions with a lot of text I skip, and kill some monsters. Some are keyquests but I just have to kill some more monsters. Story is starting to get somewhere but I'm not to sure why there is so much hype around this title.

 

at what point are you at, i wouldn't recommend going around and doing all the side quests unless you want to do a completionist playthrough which i wouldn't recommend as the first play-though. The sidequests are still usually worth picking up as you will kill some of the monsters as you are running around anyway.

So how do I download this demo? I can't find it in the eShop, do you have to pre-order the game first?

 

The demo/beta/server stress test is over, unfortunately.

#311004 new Splatoon gameplay!

Does the sniper rifle have a scope in game? In a recent video I didn't see a scope, but this model shows it..    Either I missed it or it's something you can get from the shop for it?

at this point, i doubt it will have a traditional sniper scope mechanic. The game seems to use a laser so far to say where you are aiming. That said it may have a zoom or over the shoulder zoom. At-least that would subjectively fit the game better from what we have seen so far.


As for the above, Nintendo seem to be solid supporters of rule 34. At minimum, aren't bothered by the US's comparatively conservative attitude for that sort of thing.

Is there one more presentation before release in Japan?

 

 

If they do a story trailer, this trailer showed a little of the story.

 

 

Also, you can change who is in your party in this game, only saw 8 slots in the menu (4 for members and 4 reserve), and well over 8 in the direct, want the English translation for this one.




#309553 Devils Third - More New Tidbits

Posted by tboss on 23 February 2015 - 08:12 PM

given the game is more then a shooter, but an action one as well, ir pointer controls and transitioning into melee combat would be difficult. imo

 

That will depend more on what the actual controls are, or how the game handles melee weapons, More likely than not it will be mapped to buttons or button combinations, which is more than fine on the wii-mote, unless implemented poorly, the way around it is usually giving the player complete control of button remaps. Yet every game i played had disabled a button mapping option i wanted or restricted the mapping itself in some way with the exception of cod, unless they changed that in one of the newer ones. 

 

in other words to have good wiimote controls, you need to give the user near complete control of the button map instead of presets, as well as a extensive actual IR options.

Game looks tiny when you look at the 5 areas in this perspective.. hahaaha

This perspective makes me wonder if there is more areas, Without really knowing exactly how large the shown areas are, Many parts of the map look like things have been excluded to be revealed later, or when you play, such as in the lava section 

 

The large section in between the 2 major landmass's could just as easily be buffer zones to make them inaccessible by dolls until later points in the game.
