I was thinking of getting the game mainly cos I’m a Fire Emblem stan and I wanna support the series, but I’ve seen a lot of people trash the game and say it’s inferior to 3H. I know the story doesn’t hold as much to 3H but is the gameplay really that bad? 

the gameplay is my least favorite part (not including the story which is …. abysmal tbh). the weapon triangle being brought back is one thing , but they make u completely rely on certain units for one thing over others and that’s what i loved about 3 houses: say i had a good unit but it’s weapon wasn’t quite effective against an enemy i needed killed, well that’s why i made most of my units proficient with bows so they could target out of reach ppl. doesn’t happen in this game, and i’m a couple chapters/hours in but have not yet received the necessary seal to do a lateral class change.

 

really though, the dialogue and story is something to behold in terms of how bad it is. im obviously comparing it to 3H which is probably one of my favorite video games ever but it cannot be properly stated what a downgrade it is.

Aww man, such a shame. Maybe I'll pass on this one for now or pick it up down the line when I have nothing to play. Hopefully those Path of Radiance or Radiant Dawn rumors turn out to be true!

How far are you into the story? I’ve forgotten so much about the game (cause there’s no point in returning when there’s’ no new game plus ) but I remember that you can add weapon proficiency to any units later on although it can be very grindy

It was leaked by some Spanish retailer. Not sure if it's 100% true but take it as you will.

i just bought Fire Emblem Engage and …… i hate it. they somehow both dumbed everything down and made it 10x more convoluted as opposed to 3H …. and i’m playing on Hard as i do with all FE entries cuz i’m pretty well versed and it’s so frustratingly difficult but not in a fun or challenging way , it’s just tedious and annoying bc pretty much all my units across the board suck (compared to the enemies) and they’re aren’t the opportunities to make them better at other things or have a plethora of options for everyone the way 3H did ….. overall really disappointed although i will somehow persist thru this obnoxiously frustrating entry

I didn’t make it past Ch.17 and haven’t picked it up in like a month. 
 

I’m such a FE stan but this entry was PAINFUL. Sales have tapered off fairly quickly due to bad word of mouth, so hopefully they note the difference between how TH performed and Engage and realize where the bag 💰 is.

I have to echo the FE Engage disappointment after playing recently. The gameplay really is convoluted, which paired with the lacking story and tedious battles made it unfinishable for me. I tried, got close to the end and pushed through as much as I could, but it got to the point where I was so disengaged that I wanted to just skip through the cutscenes and auto play the battles… at which point why even bother with it anymore 

there were aspects that I did like, but the game ultimately didn’t come together very well I think. There was simultaneously too much and not enough going on, and it overall became a frustrating experience especially in comparison to 3H which I loved

I'm here for it ! even though I literally finished Spirit of Justice last year 

 

I really hope this is all leading up to ace attorney 7

[ebaby]

the way my 2023 has Pikmin 4 and Fashion Dreamer to look forward to now and that's it

[BambiStar]

Well, Tears Of The Klowndom has definitely been out for a month

 

 

Been so busy lately but finally beat Battle Network 2. The way I remembered the first two chapters (thought Airman was in BN3 for some reason ) and everything after that is blank it was almost like experiencing for the first time  Really enjoyed my playthrough and seeing how they improved on virtually everything from the first entry. SO scummy to have your Battle Chips stolen and then being forced to fight some very hard Bosses to get them back though. Also the Freezeman scenario obviously a total slog (Undernet sidequest should have been saved for final chapter).

 

However, I love that by endgame you're given access to a lot of tools that really help streamline your folder. Going back to annoying V3 Navis like Thunderman, Snakeman, Magnetman and destroying them in seconds with a bunch of AreaGrab, FullCust and LifeSwords is so satisfying  Not a completionist and was fine with getting 4 Stars and moving on, until I found out that Hard Mode basically unlocks a second save file? Hopefully I can find someone to touch trade me the Secret Chips because I know I'll want to replay this again at some point.

[Erreur2 La Nature]

I am so excited for Pikmin's comeback next month. It's probably my favorite licence after Zelda lol, I just love it so much. And it's coming just a few days before my birthday, could not be happier ! 

[Rence]

I’m looking forward to the Direct but I’m hoping the games they’ll announce for the rest of the year won’t interest me cause after Tears of the Kingdom my focus will be on Final Fantasy XVI and Spider-Man 2. I don’t have the time and money to play a lot of games anymore 

[Puttanesca]

If we don't get a second and more difficult Mario game. 

[BambiStar]

 

No one talking about this  It looks so cute, fun and a return to form. I've only ever played Sonic Advance series and Sonic Classic Collection DS so love the throwback. Sonic fans are SO annoying though! Men in their 40s doing side by side comparisons for jump and fall physics like please be for real
