What's wrong with the 3DS version?
>>
>>330745798
You have to pay for it and every faggot above me endorses stealing
>>
Is this game actually good or is it a meme game like Xenogears?
>>
>>330745870
I don't pay for 3DS games.

>>330745798
>lower framerate
>even worse graphics in an already reasonably bad-looking game (plays fine though)
>no duel audio (ENG dub is best, but the option is nice

Whereas emulation you get
>Game looks absolutely gorgeous
>60FPS
>More option for controls
>Play around with cheats if you're into that kind of thing

3DS has cheats too but they're not as good or fun. As far as I'm aware you can't hack 3DS to play as temporary party members like you can on Wii/emulation

>>330746229
Is the framerate really bad? I wanted to go with the 3DS version because I could play it during my lunch breaks at work.
>>
>>330746317
I summit it's better to get in on a 3DS if you want it to be more portable.
>>
>>330746317
Depends
It's noticeable if you've played the original but it's not THAT bad.
The game is certainly playable.

I wouldn't recommend it for lunch breaks though unless you're doing sidequests, story-related things can occasionally go on for ages.

>story-related things can occasionally go on for ages
Like long ass cutscenes? It's not a big deal if I can just close the 3DS. My lunches are an hour anyway and I mostly have fuckall to do, which is why I bought a 3DS to begin with.
>>
>>330746738
Long ass cutscenes and character convos, the cutscenes are good though and can be paused.

I personally wouldn't play it on lunch breaks because I wouldn't want to put it down but that's just me, the story is really good.

By all means, go for it. If you're pirating you've got nothing to lose but an hour of fun on your break if you don't like it.
>>
>>330746973
I didn't want to get pretty far into it and realize it's total ass on the platform before having to start over on the Wii version, which is why I'm asking. Like if midway through there are massive, unplayable framerates drops and the like, or if the graphics are abysmal.
>>
>>330746229
>60fps

You know it's 30 locked right
>>
>>330744828
3DS is fine, the 3D is almost nonexistent. But if you can get to emulate it at max+HD pack, go for emulation instead.

Who is best girl and why is it Melia?

You should emulate because xenoblade was a game already hampered by weak hardware and the 3ds is even worse. Here's the game at 3ds resolution

And here it is emulated. There's a bit of a difference
>>
>>330750074
It even looks like an MMO.
>>
>>330750109
I mean it basically is a single player mmo, which is why I like it. I like the underlying parts of an mmo just not the "dealing with other people" part

Ok there bud
>>
>>330750009
>>330750074

Can't see too many differences other than the tiny 3ds resolution on the tiny screen
>>
>>330750507
But those are the only positive elements to MMOs.
>>
>>330744828
emulate. graphics on the 3ds version are garbage
>>
>>330745945
>xenogears
>meme game
seems like some games might be a little too deep for you
>>
>>330747106
The graphics aren't great but they're not awful either. The framerate can vary a lot but people claiming it's unplayable are greatly exaggerating.
>>
>>330751552
>Terrible gameplay
>Terrible writing

What good qualities does it possess? No, the soundtrack isn't that great.
>>
>>330744828
wii u version is superior in everyway.
>>
>>330751423
thats because they're both dolphin screenshots. One with all the bells and whistles turned off running at 3ds resolution and one with everything cranked to max
>>
>>330751696

The '3DS' version still looks better than the actual 3DS version.

Source: I've played the 3DS version.

I'm talking about Gears.

>>330744828
The graphics were already not great on the wii version, and honestly after playing through both the only thing the N3DS version feels like it's missing is a little more lighting. My personal opinion is that any game is made better by being on a handheld because of the massive jump in convenience and comfort, and that extends especially to rpgs, so I can just whip it out at any given moment, make some progress, and not have to bother with booting up the home console. Then again, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who'd prefer N3DS Xenoblade over Wii, so I guess take my opinion with a grain of salt OP
>>
>>330744828
I played the original Wii version then emulated it:

The emulated version completely blew away the console version, it was actually developed in HD. Everything seems perfectly arranged for it to be emulated in 1080p for full-fucking enjoyment.

I can't imagine it any other way now, and deeply regreted playing it un-emulated.

My N3DS doesnt' have a Z button, and I have no minimap on the game. Should I ask for a refund?
>>
>>330752113
Yeah sounds like you got a Chinese bootleg
>>
>>330744828
It's so fucking easy to emulate it's a crime to pay money for a mediocre port on poor hardware when you can be playing it in 1080p with your dank headphones comfy as fuck at home
>>
Get the downloadable version on Wii U sorry America

I played through it emulated and it was great.

I even went as far as modding some of Melia's costumes.

Her tits are perfectly fine, you gaylord.

That previous pic is her Jungle Top modified with just the white fur removed. Here is what happens when you remove the top completely. The game doesn't have a shadows, so as you can see they just drew the shadows onto her body. I'd share the two texture files for this (PNG format) if some drawfag were willing to fix this

If this game is so popular, then why is there almost no porn of sharla? I mean she's got a nice rack, complete with wii jiggle physics, delicious brown, British accent, and her armor always shows off her cleavage. And yet no porn
>>

Melia > Fiora > Sharla

Her cleavage is a bit over 50% of the reasons to bother using her.
>>
>>330746317
Its got the same drops as the Wii version

>>330755245
I dunno, I like having a good healer in the party. Plus she completes the mmo trinity with Reyn as tank and shulk as a shitty dps
