I agree. I'm totally addicted to this game.

Umm...It doesn't lack substance at all. It's incredibly deep

Fenriff3276d ago

In what way would you consider it deep? The entire article is examples of how it lacks substance. By all means, share what aspect you think has depth.

JacketsNest1013275d ago

The combat mostly. There are a lot of different customization options in terms of movesets. While some ways are ideal, you can mostly just play how you want.

Fenriff3275d ago

The combat is as shallow as can be though. All you have to do is hit the enemy's weakness - which the game will tell you after hitting it with one of each attack - and watch the damage roll in as the session attacks play themselves out. The variety of moves available don't matter much, because you just need one of each type of attack, the specific sword ability you choose doesn't matter much in the end as long as you have a sword ability. The way you play isn't altered by the specific version you chose.

Also, since most party members are automatically nudged in a specific direction (such as the main character automatically being relegated to sword and lightning attacks) you end up given everything you need without having to put much thought into it.

'Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE' Lacks Fire Emblem

While Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE is easily recognized as a Shin Megami Tensei spinoff, it fails to present itself as the crossover it is meant to be.

It was way too much idol culture which idk why they thought itd be a great idea for an smt/fe crossover. I honestly wish they just made it to be a highschool/academy style of game like persona. So much potential it had but its whatever. The game was just ok.

CrimsonWing691160d ago

The problem is when this was first announced it was literally Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. All they needed to do was keep the Fire Emblem strategy gameplay and incorporate Shin Megami Tensei elements and aesthetics. Or hell, somehow collide the universes together with Fire Emblem gameplay.

What we got was really out of left field with such a mashup. I think that’s why it’s disappointing for those expecting Fire Emblem in this game.

TheColbertinator1160d ago

I liked TMS but yeah it missed some charm that both series carry in spades

What do you need to know about Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is coming back! In 2020, Nintendo is bringing its collaboration with Atlus to the Switch. As is common with these Wii U ports, a little something extra is being added in for the encore performance. But what should someone expect in general, in the event they missed the RPG the first time around? Well, it is something that is a lot more like Persona than either Fire Emblem or Shin Megami Tensei.

I hate this game! No thanks!

gamer78041994d ago

That it is censored. The End.

CrimsonWing691993d ago

Dang it I thought I was all clever and clicked on the comments to write that.

Well played, sir!

Top 10 Gaming Controversies (That Were Totally Lame)

It doesn't take much to get people riled up. The next thing folks know, there's outrage over some gameplay element, design decision, or character. Here are ten times a big deal was made over the silliest sorts of things in games.

Forgot the whole 'RE5 is racist" because you have a white character killing black zombies in a country mostly populated by black people.

BlackDoomAx2184d ago

Omg, that was really a thing? I played it at the time and it didn't ring my bell at all xD

Chocoburger2184d ago

Unfortunately, yes.
https://www.livescience.com...

Its important to take story context into perspective here. The Umbrella Corporation is taking advantage of the impoverished people of Africa, by performing experiments on them, far away from the eyes of 24/7 newscasters.

Given the context, the game makes sense.

BlackDoomAx2184d ago

Oh yeah, I remember now. There was a movement called 'black zombies lives matter'.

SinkingSage2184d ago

Not on the article because this writer would clearly have agreed with the stance that RE5 is racist, it's pretty obvious by the choice of controversies / words.

DeadlyAzuril2184d ago

The very first example just shoes how retarded the author is.

2pacalypsenow2184d ago

Yeah I looked at the authors picture, and that says everything I need to know about him.

AK912184d ago

This is sadly now a requirement for being a game journo these days.

GOODKylePS2184d ago

Calls people retarded for having an opinion and confuses shoes for shows 🙄

Juusterey2184d ago

It's called a misspelling

DeadlyAzuril2180d ago

What's the problem Kyle, got some sand in your vagina?

corpsemaker2184d ago (Edited 2184d ago )

For me it’s Battlefield 5’s women. Is it really that big of a deal to have both genders represented in a game AND are not forced to play as a female

Iberius2184d ago

I’m not sure it was simply being able to play as a woman per say, but rather (or at least also) the historical revisionism in the story mode, going a bit overboard with the charter design, censoring words and phrases in chat based on race and historical groups.

Oh and that whole don’t like it don’t buy it fiasco. Actually, you could probably find at least ten controversies just with Battlefield 5 : P

AK912184d ago

Ugh multi page article no thanks

zeal0us2184d ago

Jax ending in MK11 was one of the dumbest controversies. People were mad over a non-canon ending.

Silly gameAr2184d ago

Yeah, I was wondering what kind of person would get so triggered over that.

So stupid.
