Nice. I should get that, since it doesnt require the new 3DS.

The only nice thing with the New 3DS is the right joystick, but it's not like that existed on the N64 version and so isn't at all necessary.
I'm not far into it yet. I forgot that the first run through the 3 days is kind of a slog, playing the waiting game once you have the mini-quest done. As for this version, the characters and area look beautiful and the sound is great. There have been a few quality of life improvements, particularly for the notebook that keeps track of the many many many many side-quests. My only criticism is that Clock Town feels a lot smaller, but I have to remember that I last played this when I was 15 or 16, and it was on a TV. Really though, it feeling smaller helps the navigation a little.
Definitely worth picking up from my initial impressions. I wonder if I'll 100% this version as well.
No, it's time to start a new Witcher 3 playthrough.
Two things I'm playing right now.
1) X-COM: Enemy Within
I've had base x-com for awhile, but never really played it. Got Enemy Within recently when it went on sale, and now I'm having a blast. Holy shit this game is so good, and FUCK YOU FRANCE PULL OUT OF THE COUNCIL IF YOU WANT, DO YOU REALLY THINK THE ALIENS ARE GOING TO EXTERMINATE YOU ANY LESS?
Fucking France, every goddamn time.
2) Dragon Ball Xenoverse
... don't judge me. This game is actually pretty fun. I'm playing as a Saiyan, because who wouldn't want to play as a Saiyan? I noticed Earthling is a racial choice, just for anyone who wanted to know what it's like to be Krillen.

I feel like they spiked the difficulty in Enemy Within. It's extremely hard to prevent countries from leaving early in the game unless you push straight for Satellite Coverage, which leaves your men running around with peashooters and bad armor. The moment you get your first Mec Trooper is the moment you can catch your breath, but with unlucky invasions (like I got) you can be two countries down before your first report.
Nah. I'll wait for expansions.
I actually managed to save France.
I'm about 3 months in now. I've got full satellite coverage over south america (we have ways, sweet!) and another in australia. I've got a mech trooper, a full 6 member squad who are all close to becoming colonel, some b-rankers that fill in for the injured, and a gotdamn amazing sniper gotdamn he kills everything even with just a tiny laser pistol gotdamn.
I can make carapace armor, but I haven't. In fact, I haven't upgraded any armor, and weaponry is mostly stock aside from some laser rifles on my supports and a laser pistol for my sniper (gotdamn!). But I play super defensively with overlaying cover and overwatch. When I encounter a group of aliens, at least one or two die immediately due to overwatch.
And my sniper.
GOTDAMN!
If you're talking about Damn Good Ground, I don't like that talent. +10 aim and +10 defense when on higher ground is ok, but my sniper's aim is so high that 10 isn't really a huge factor, and while 10 extra defense is nice, he really shouldn't be getting shot at at all.
But the real reason I don't like it is because it competes with GUNSLINGER. Since I far prefer group sight to snapshot, that means I can't move and fire my sniper rifle at the same time. But I can move and fire my laser pistol, and gunslinger makes it do damage comparable to an assault rifle, meaning he can still kill people even while getting into position.
It was a quicksave that would auto-load when you started the game again and then be lost. It was a giant pain in the ass when you had more than one person playing the game at a time. Also, didn't give you as much room for error since if you got lost or screwed something up, you had no choice but to start the day cycle from the beginning.
It's been pretty fun so far. Of course, being an online semi-multiplayer game, sometimes you run into stuff like this:
Sounds like one of those fake names they came up with on MST3K during Space Mutiny.

I'm pretty sure that @LittleKagsin would post in here about how much she and her husband are enjoying Batman: Arkham Knight, but she's too busy joyriding around in the Batmobile.
Who names themself "Chocolate Milk?"It's been pretty fun so far. Of course, being an online semi-multiplayer game, sometimes you run into stuff like this:

Between the three names on-screen, it's probably the closest to what Toriyama would actually name a character anyway.
Also, still playing XIV's expansion. Very smooth launch compared to the dozens of other MMO/xpac launches I've been a part of, and the new classes are pretty fun.

I think the real issue is that the other races that should have a transformation (Freiza Clan, Buu) don't have them. But no... everyone who isn't Saiyan can only use Kaioken (up to X20 I think) to boost.
There's fighting poses and other powerups that operate in similar manners, though.
