Persona Q is pretty good, but your opinion thereof will be determined by how much you like the Persona cast, because from a strict gameplay/story perspective it's not on the level of P3/4. A lot of Etrian enthusiasts claim it's not on the level of Etrian, either, but I haven't played them so I dunno.

Definitely a good game, though.

Its not as difficult as most etrian games, is all.

Another good mashup is etrian oddyssey mystery dungeon.

To be clear, it's the handhelds that I think are shitty, not the games.
Yeah man.

I'm 32, not some man baby. Like I want to walk around with a little Nintendo in my hands.

That said, when my kid is old enough and inevitably wants them I will probably play the shit out of them in private.

3DS XL feels pretty good in your hands. And I even have pretty giant hands. Has a really nice build quality as well. If you've avoided DS/3DS you're really doing yourself a disservice especially if you like RPGs.

It's a battle I'll never win. I just like to insult those that use them.

I'm sure it has fine games, but I bought a big TV and modern systems to play awesome games and not stare at a tiny 1cmx1cm screen

Shame these "modern systems" have almost nothing worth playing. But I'm sure they look great running at 20-30 FPS on your 4k.

I would argue strongly against that, I think RPG's on consoles are some of the greatest. PS4 started off slow, but it's picking up speed.

Dark Souls 2 runs at 60FPS on PS4 and it's kind of jarring compared to all the other games that run at 30.

I'm just about done Bloodborne and am thinking about my next game. A friend of mine swears that Ni No Kuni is amazing, but I don't normally agree with him about games. Can anyone confirm? I haven't played a JRPG in a while, but do enjoy them.
Get Undertale, and go in blind - no spoilers.

Don't go in based on people fanatically recommending it, you'll probably be disappointed and wonder what the fuck is everyone thinking. Go in based on those of us just saying it is a really good game with tons of charm, some unique elements, a good story. It has crossed over in to that sacred over hype realm which I worry only sets it up for failure to live up to expectations.

What I do now is go onto twitch and watch someone play the game for like 30 minutes. If I think the gameplay is good I buy it.

Bonus points if it's a streamer girl with huge titties popping out.

What Noodle is trying to say is the games he plays is a direct reflection of how big the average cup size of the gamer grills streaming it

It's crazy to me that someone would donate $110 to someone they enjoy watching play video games, and that's a low amount out of what I've seen

It's Shobab, that's like the least amount he's ever given. Think he is at $13k total to Wagamama alone.

Some people love having not-actually-famous people say their name on stream and have their name streaming on a marquee

I may have to get Undertale with so many people fanatically recommending it
Too much of the praise comes from the SJW/Tumblr side of the interwebs, and I keep reading that most of the "humor" is based on memes. NOPE.

Also, it's fugly and I am a graphics whore.
