[QUOTE="red_sovereign"]is there really too much talking?King9999

There is, at least in the beginning. I'm not sure if the whole game is like that.

The problem isn't the talking per se, but the reediculous amount of sad/happy/whatever faces, that pile up and make the talking scenes too long.

So, I've played Final Fantasy 3 and 4 on the DS. I loved 4, 3 bored me to tears so much that I couldn't complete it. How is the Four Heroes of Light? I'm interested in picking it up if it's closer to 4 than 3, but that being said I understand that 4 is a remake of a classic and not every game is going to measure up. So, how's Four Heroes of Light? :D

Standard JRPG. Got out there, save the princess, grind, save the world. I never played FF3, but it's nowhere near FFIV. Slower pacing, the party breaks up multiple times, class-based mechanics and stuff.

Pretty boring for the first hours too. It's not flat-out bad, just don't expect anything ground breaking.

I would get Golden Sun: Dark Dawn any day over it.

Played 9 hours, got it yesterday.

Awesome game, some time has passed since i liked a game that much. :)

If it's dialogs weren't so long, it would make my Top 2 this year.

asked for a ds for xmas, want soulsilver, N+, and legend of zelda: Phantom Hourglass...and other recommendations?

Mario Kart is a must get for any DS owner.

Then TWEWY if you want a RPG, Hotel Dusk / Phoenix Wright if you want a adventure game, Piccros/ Layton if you want puzzles, New Super Mario Bros if you want a platformer, Elite Beat Agents if you want a rhythm, GTA Chinatown if you want a action game, and if you want fighting, you could get Jump Ultimate Stars, but you're 6 years late and the community is pretty much dead.

I'll begin to copy/paste this every time someone ask for a game without any specifics.

Bad touch-screen controls broke the game IMO. But a lot of people out there love it.

Pokemon HeartGold and TWEWY are the game i have played the most. More tnan 100 hours in both.

[QUOTE="shalashaska88"]Since I already plan on getting TWEWY and Phoenix Wright as recommended above, I guess a good Mario game will do. Problem is I searched and there are TONS of Mario games. Which should I start with?mulshadowcat2576

I second New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart.

M&L:BiS is a good RPG and i Lol 'ed a lot playing it, but it's pretty easy and a little too short for my RPG tastes.

Mario Hoops is a great game once you get the hang of the controllers... IF you know someone that have the game. Great mutiplayer, boring single-player. If it had online play it would be a must get.

Mario 64 DS is okay IMO. Be aware that the control isn't as tight as the original, which is a big thing for a platformer.

I'll be getting a DS this Friday (excited!) So i'll bring some extra cash for 3 games. What should I get? I've been wanting to play TWEWY, so what other two should I pick? I don't mind, as long as its not RTS, I'll play it.shalashaska88

Which genres do you like? There is a friggin lot of good games on DS.

Has anyone noticed that each gen has one cool looking starter, one goofy looking starter, and one cute looking starter.sman3579

Both mudkip and torchic are cute. Treecko is cool. -ish. Sort of.

Which is the goofy?

[QUOTE="Icare0"]

I'm not.

It's even expected, after 3 consecutive generations with a fire/fighting starter.

Pixel-Perfect

There was a lot of Mijumaru hate at first though.

There's aways hate at first. Then, a couple of months later, everything start to become cute, and after a few generations, they'll be the best looking and coolest.

Funny how the same sprite magically become better over time, uh?
