I bought a 3DS last week and will probably complete MM in the next couple days. I'm thinking of getting a Pokemon game next but can't decide between X/Y or Alpha/Omega. Thoughts please?

Get Alpha then you can trade with me

I took a punt on Xenoblade in the 19.95 flash sale. I don't think I'll enjoy it on the small screen but not going to cost me anything to try

im struggling to get into xenoblade, i suck at combat and always end up getting ganked. is it a case of grinding until i can beat multiple enemies of my own level?

I've not picked up Xenoblade yet - I've just got waaaaay too much to play atm but if it's really £20 I might pick it up for later in the year - where is it £20?

Tempted to pick up Persona Q - anyone played it?

Yep

Just do loads of quests and you'll be sorted for EXP

I'm very nearly at the end of Fire Emblem Awakening, which is utterly utterly brilliant - so bearing that in mind - which of the below would be best to go for next:

Tales of the Abyss
Bravely Default
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
Persona Q

??

I like Tales of the Abyss. A bit cutesy and the main character by design is a nob, but it's fun and interesting.

I've just bought myself XB3D but it arrived today. That should be very good.

I've pressed the button on Xenoblade

I'm still umming and arring. Only 20 queenheads on the forest. I wish the digital prices were more competitive.

Argh, I've just bought it because of you

My copy will be at home by now - Shopto service is absolutely bonkers - bought it 4.30pm yesterday, email arrives 5 minutes later with a photo of the actual envelope addressed to me. Mental!

 

[Grey M@a]

Was looking at Xenoblade, might grab a copy now so I can play it when I replace the current 3DS XL, don't own one of the new ones as yet so couldn't play it.

£20 isn't too bad, was bound to happen though as its the new 3DS exclusive, wonder if the sales were limited hence the stock dump at nearly half price.

 

[merlin]

Xenoblade has landed - am hyped.

Conversely, I bought MM from them a few weeks ago with next day delivery and it took 8! Their prices are hard to beat but I won't buy from them again if I'm in a hurry.

Loving Xenoblade, resisting side-quests in favour of just exploring, my word lots of battle practice needed - I've no idea what I'm doing yet

 

[blues_r_best]

I'm about 20 hours in to Xenoblade and recommend it to anyone. I'm really feeling it.

 

[merlin]

I'm definitely feeling it.
