3D Dot Game Heroes by Atlus - This game looks cool

Yeah the game looks fucking cool. It's only gonna be $40 too. I'll definitely get it eventually, but I'm not buying any more games until my backlog is cleared, or at least made much smaller.
 
I was watching the videos for this a while back. I'm interested to see how it plays as well.
 
Definitely. I've been on the fence with this one, so let us know.
 
Played for about an hour tonight. Forgot my wallet, so after i got off work at midnight, had to drive home, pick up wallet then back to walmart... :(

Seems pretty cool so far. There are some text homages to Zelda in the dialog. Some of the dialog from the NPC's is humorous. You can select from about 4 different camera angles.

I was surprised by the amount of characters you can select from in the beginning. You can apparently customize your own, but I have not done so yet.

It does play mostly like zelda, but has the NPC interaction of 8bit Console RPGs. You can buy things at shops, as you would expect, and upgrade your sword at the blacksmiths for a price. There is a 'potential' meter on how high you can upgrade your current sword, so apparently you cannot fully max it out. Not really sure how it all works yet. The huge sword you see in the movies for the game works like how you can shoot your sword in Zelda, but only when your heart meter is full. It gets smaller when you lose some life.

Seems pretty cool so far. It's pretty close to playing Link to the Past with more NPC dialog.

So far it seems worth the 40 bux. From what i've seen so far, it appears pretty polished. If you were already somewhat interested in the game, I think you already know what to expect. It's defiantly not comparable to any budget shovelware wii titles.
 
3D Dot Game Heroes by Atlus - Great Deal!

I know there's a thread on this game already but it's not really recognizable so i figured i would start one with the games name in the title.

Totally forgot about this game coming out until one of my friends called me up to come check it out at his house. All i have to say is if you have a PS3 and love zelda then this is a MUST buy.

This is an Atlus game so the depth is probably really deep. They have a reputation of making awesome RPG's and this type goes back to the 8bit days.

Game also gives you the option of customizing your characters look. I haven't gone into this yet but it does look pretty cool. Youtube videos already have people playing this game with their made up Mega Man characters.

Amazon has a great price on this. $36.99 and free shipping along with no tax (most states)

I ordered mine this morning and can't wait to slay some dragons / monsters this weekend!
 
Wait, this is already out?!? I thought it was due out at the end of this month... I may have to run right out and pick it up after work - it's the only game so far this year that I've been excited for. (though I do want to play SSFIV at some point too)

BTW, a couple things - Atlus mostly just publishes Japanese stuff that's likely to not see release otherwise over here. The game is actually made by From Software, famous for games like Kings Field and Armored Core, and more recently Demon's Souls. Have you ever played Demon's Souls? If you like incredibly deep games that're not easy play-throughs, try that. It's almost certainly the best game I've played this generation.

I have Demon's souls, never opened it. Got it for like $15 clearance but maybe i will play it.

I do have a copy of Alan Wake that ill be playing today. That game looks good also and Amazon has a $10 future gaming credit if you purchase it.

What im really waiting for is red dead redemption. Amazon is giving out a $20 gift card with the purchase of that game. Im telling you so many good games and good deals on summer releases!
I should have my reviewers copy by friday but we will see. Rockstar likes to wait till last minute to ship out reviewers copies of games so knowing my luck, ill get it monday.

Ah. If you don't want it, let me know - I'll take it off your hands. :)
Yeah, this looked like a game that won't be around long. That's why I picked it up right away.
Likely not... though Demons Souls didn't go out of print immediately like everyone expected....
 
Looked around here and can't find it in-store. Will probably order from Amazon just to be sure I get a copy.
 
I bought at walmart.
Yeah, checked at one here - no dice. Also checked a Target, Best Buy, and Game Stop when I was at each this week for other things. Could have probably checked a few more places, but it was cheaper on Amazon with free shipping anyway, so whatever. I doubt I'll have time to play it much until summer anyway.
