Has anyone gotten their KI 3D Classics download code? I thought Amazon was sending them out within 2 days of launch, but I have not gotten one...
If you pre-ordered I would email them, I actually received my code at 0330 on the 23rd and less than 24 hours after they shipped my copy, so if you pre-ordered and for some reason did not receive your code they either borked something or it got caught in your spam filter or something.
Guess I might as well use this time to talk about the game. Anyways the game, yes, love it. It's pretty good. I'm about to start the 7th chapter and the characters are all real fun.
That said, this game is absolutely a fucking pain in the ass to play. From the circle pad not being the most precise method of movement in the world making any platforming a pain in the ass, to the size of the screen being so small that it's difficult to make out enemies, the stylus being an absolute pain in the ass regardless of being the best method available, to the stand being too short making my hand feel caught between the table and the system, I just can't actually get any damn enjoyment out of the thing. I can't really play it for more than 5 minutes or so at a time, not out of any kind of time restraints on my part but because every facet of playing the game is physically painful. While the 3D in the game was well done and the best I'd seen in any game I found it also gave me headaches which others do not.
It's really a shame because I think the game is actually really good but feel like it being on the 3DS has made it almost a chore to play. Man I wish this had been put on the Wii or they held off until the Wii-U or something. It's not really the game's fault but the 3DS itself, it just doesn't fit my hands well at all, the left shoulder and circle pad are so close that trying to grip the system in a way that I can even use both at the same time is already painful then trying to use the stylus with the other, yeah, not liking it. If the screen was a tad larger I could maybe relax my hold a bit and rest it on something changing my grip slightly but the stand is out as an option due to it's miniscule height or if they redesigned the system and changed either the shape of the shoulder buttons or the placement of the circle pad I could hold it better but as it is it just hurts to play.
Being that that's the case I don't really know if ultimately I actually can say the game is good or not for me. It shouldn't hurt to play a game, in a way I'm tempted to straight up give the game a damn zero. But the game's definitely not a zero it's like an eight. But, I mean, they totally chose the way the game would play when designing it and knew so much that many people would find it physically uncomfortable to play to the point they bundled a damn stand so maybe it should get a zero? I mean, if one absolutely HAD to make this game for the 3DS I don't think it could have controlled better than it does know but I have to ask why the hell it had to be on this platform in the first place. I know the answer's probably business, the Wii's on the way out, the 3DS needs a big game, the Wii-U's far out, but I feel the game really suffers for that decision.
I just honestly don't know how to feel about this game, never has the actual platform itself been such a hindrance to my enjoyment of something as this title right here and I don't know how to express that, where I should find fault, if there's any fault at all or what.
