My favorite game ever. Female explorer is a good choice, but just keep in mind more unorthodox ways to fight, like that bit in the demo with the choice to repair the droid or hack the terminal. Also just keep in mind that dual weilding leads to a lot more misses than weilding one weapon if you don't have a perk for it. Hope you enjoy that game, I was that same way with RPGs when I first played it.
Enjoy Bravely Default. I wasn't really big fan of the Tomb Raider reboot, felt it was as mediocre as AAA games get. I tried giving it a chance for what it was since I wanted more of an emphasis on platforming, but it didn't really do the new things it introduced well enough to justify the shift to me.
I wasn't a fan of Demon's Souls, mostly because the combat didn't click with me. I get why people like it, just didn't like the way everything moved and felt. Dark Souls has always appealed to me more though because of the Metroidvania approach though, feel like that could be enough to keep me going until the combat does click. Maybe some day I'll give it a go.
It's funny because I remember when Infinite first came out and I asked you about things like the two weapon system and you said it's not that bad. Guess things change. I agree with these anyways. They're both good games, but Borderlands really is boring as shit on your own without improving much for 2 and Infinite is all about the story over gameplay.
Ace Attorney is second only to Pokemon for my favorite series on the DS...hell, my favorite portable series really. Aliens is pretty good, but I had kind of a hard time staying interested. Ghost Trick's awesome if you like puzzle games and don't mind a heavy story emphasis that can occasionally get weird (especially towards the end).
Castlevania DoS is one of my favorite games on the system and all time, and the others are pretty damn good too (though I'm not the biggest fan of OoE). World Ends With You is awesome just because of how it makes a great game that uses every feature without feeling gimmicky. Just expect LONG stretches of dialog from time to time. Zero I have and had my fill, but the trade returns for it are pathetic. If I ever do see you in person consider it yours.
Right now I know I'm getting South Park and Titanfall day one with Destiny in the far future. Will probably wait on Ground Zeroes for a price drop because it seems a little too pricey and may go for Infamous day one. Also thanks for letting me know about Evolve, it sounds awesome.
Yeah redundant was probably the better word. I like ZM's faster pace and the way its bosses were presented so much more its basically the perfect sidescroller in my mind.
Super Metroid is the kind of game I respect a lot, but don't quite enjoy as much as everyone else. I think my issue was that I played Prime and Zero Mission first and just prefer the way they handled the formula so SM seemed kind of basic. I still like the game, just not one of my favorite games of that era.
Mass Effect and Gears are both great. I should get Kameo one of these days.
Sin and Punishment was fantastic. One of my favorite Wii games for sure. You're not missing out on anything with Epic Mickey though, as mediocre as games get.
