I find it really interesting that people thought Ken Levine was doing a sendup of Tea Party people and fundamentalist Christians. This game clearly is a version of American society that embraced a Soviet-esque national religion.
I'm not really seeing all that much that's "lol this is a right wing society"-

Don't have a 3DS either, so I second this question.In post 115, bv310 wrote:So I'm debating buying a 2/3DS for my commutes, which are getting progressively more tedious. Besides Fire Emblem, what games should I be looking at picking up?Games I Own That I'd Recommend
New Zelda is pretty damn good, but really short. There's a Hero mode to do and a bunch of things to find/collect and you can upgrade your weapons I guess, but it runs out of steam after that.
Pushmo is a little eShop puzzle game that is really fun and actually pretty damn challenging. I think it's like $5.
Kid Icarus is really fun once you get used to the wonky controls.
Pokemon X/Y are easily the best games in the series IMO and well worth a purchase.
Super Mario 3D Land is a damn good Mario game, although it's also a bit "short" if you want to say that. The levels are little five minute blasts so it's fun to go back through and collect all the big coin stars or try to beat your best time, but that's about it.
Animal Crossing is fun to pop in every day for about ten minutes or fifteen minutes. Kinda peaceful, really.
I picked up Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D during Black Friday and it's super good, but literally no different from the Wii version. If you haven't played the Wii version, definitely pick it up.
Games I Don't Own
Supposedly, the new Fire Emblem is fantastic. Also heard really good things about Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and also heard the multiplayer is fun. Also Shin Megami Tensei IV is out and got pretty good reviews if that kind of RPG is your thing. There are a lot of free demos you can fuck around with if you just want to try stuff out. For example, I considered purchasing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, but I played the demo and absolutely hated it.green shirt thursdays-

I've never beaten the flagship in FTL. I feel like I'm a failure.
Also... anyone here play A Link Between Worlds yet? I really liked it but damn it went by fast. I feel like it'smaybea ten hour game, probably more like six. No dungeon took me longer than 30-45mins to beat, and there are only ten of them.green shirt thursdays-

Hero Mode has some pretty cool shit and is harder. Granted the cool shit isn't really cool until you find it but there are some differences.In post 133, xRECKONERx wrote:I feel like it's maybe a ten hour game, probably more like six.

I really did not enjoy this game much. It felt like galaxy without any of the parts that made galaxy interesting.In post 130, xRECKONERx wrote:Super Mario 3D Land is a damn good Mario game, although it's also a bit "short" if you want to say that.

Also done with AA5 now. I liked it a lot ('')b
Don't know if I'd call it the best in the series (probably not) but it's better overall than 2 and 4 (though 2-4 still OWNS MY SOUL, just that 2-3 is not cool.)
It probably has the least weak "weakest" case of all the games in the series, if nothing else. 3-3 is the only thing I'd say is any competition in that regard.
Some changes I didn't like, some I did, but still felt like the same series to me. Maybe I'm easy to please but yeah cool game. Will get the DLC probably after school's done for the semester.ShowEver wanted a playlist full of a lot of music I really dig? Here you go.

Felt a lot like SMB3 to me with the pacing and the level variety. I'll admit some of the levels felt derivative but there seemed to always be enough variety between them that each one felt like a brand new experience. The design & setting of each level was unique.In post 136, Parama wrote:

Should I play AC3? I played 1, 2, Brotherhood, (maybe) Revelations... I want to keep playing because I find the story intriguing but I heard such bad things about AC3... is there just a story summary online I could watch, or is it worth playing?green shirt thursdays-

Are you referring to the long-term story involving Desmond, or the story involving Connor?

I don't think it's possible to truly like that story.In post 141, Battousai wrote:Definitely play it if you like the story of inside the machine (outside is just, yeah..).
There is nothing likable about Connor and killing off Haytham was the biggest crime of the game.-

Maybe.In post 144, Who wrote:It might be possible if you weren't playing as Connor. If you were playing as Haytham for the entire time it might be pretty good.But Haytham still dies after finding out this cause, which he thought was the correct one, was flawed anyway due to Lee's actions. They killed his character once Connor revealed that Templars were being dicks and he realized he was being a dick but did nothing about it because...well because
But yes. Skip AC3. You can learn everything you need to learn about AC3 online.-

Holy shit good? I've been getting into the Fables comics, and if the game is good, that'd be awesome.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
