Finally got a 3DS and I have a few questions...

I've read good and bad things about it. From your 6-7 hours what do you think, is the story compelling or is just generic fantasy?haibeythefatty

im 90% certain your 3ds will not be obselete after e3.

If you're looking for for a good strategy game a then Ghost recon shadow wars is a good game to get. It's cheap and has a lenghty campaign and I could only really fault it on boring story. Fire emblem's coming out soon too, Although I can't remember when.

It's also pretty unlikely that a redesign will be relased at E3 as they'll be focusing on the relaunch of the WiiU and what not.

I've played through Tales of the Abyss fully on the PS2 and it is one of my favorite games. Yeah, it takes time before the story gets interesting, but it does have some pretty interesting twists and the story gets pretty interesting.

As for the gameplay, it's an action rpg. you control one character while the rest are controled by the computer. You can give commands and set stradegies though, so you are still mostly in control.

The graphics aren't great though. Just look at some pictures and videos to judge for yourself. They aren't horrible, but they just aren't great.

Tales of the Abyss is the only RPG I can think of getting for the 3DS. I've never played a Shin Megami Tensei game, and from what I've seen, the battle system at least looks like a pretty typical RPG and some of them appear to be first person dungeon crawlers, although I have no idea about Overclocked.

Tales is a pretty standard game as far as I'm concerned. If you like Tales games, you won't be disappointed. The battle system is as good as any of the others in the series, which is what counts. One thing I really appreciated about the game was that it warped you to where you needed to be later on in the game so you wouldn't have to waste time traveling to places you've already been to, and there's a lot of cross-map traveling so I really enjoyed that little feature. I didn't find the story to be anything special and I didn't particularly care for the characters, but they will grow on you and the dialogue did honestly make me laugh a few times. So it's just like I said, if you like Tales games, you'll enjoy this one.

If you're fine with dipping into the DS back-catalog, I'd suggest Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2, Age of Empires/Mythology, Golden Sun, and of course Pokemon. There are tons of others that you could pick up and enjoy from the DS catalog, and if you're open to that I'd suggest doing so, because you won't be disappointed.

Just saw your question about Revenant Wings, and having played through it I didn't really enjoy it myself. I'm not sure what about it exactly, but I generally didn't find that much joy from the battles and as I recall I had issues controlling everything efficiently which caused me some problems. It was reviewed well, though, so you may want to look into it anyway despite what I say though, because I think I'm an outlier.

any more game suggestions guys? It can be something from the ds library? any opinions of final fantasy revenant wings? haibeythefatty

If you are intested in older DS games, then you should find plenty to enjoy. Lots of great RPGs.

Final Fantasy IV is one of my favorites. The character models may look wierd and "Chibi", but if you can get over that you will find a great story with a fantastic turn based battle system and challenging boss battles. It's a remake, so you may have already played it on other systems, but I figured it's worth mentioning at least.

The World Ends With You is an original game for DS, and very unique. It's an action RPG set in modern Shibuya, Japan. Story involves a kid waking up in an alternate version of the city where no one can see him, and he's forced to partner up and play the "Reaper's game" in order to survive. It's unique, and the story is very good. And the music is excellent as well. The combat may seem wierd and confusing at first, but it's pretty cool when you get used to it.

I say got for Tales of the Abyss and most definately get Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked. Hopefully we'll get on confirmation on Fire Emblem today.

For the DS, you most certainly get the Luminous Arc games! Also the Dragon Quest games, especially Dragon Quest IX. Also Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. Radiant Historia.

I'd also like to suggest Samurai Warriors Chronicles (3DS) and Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero (DS).

What happened to the Bioware games announced for the DS in 2006-2008? Mass Effect, Knights Of The Old Republic, Dragon Age, and Jade Empire were all in press releases for years. What happened? Why did they only release Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood? Now that many of us have 3DS and more will get them this Christmas, it would seem an easy port for some of these games.
