I used a keyboard and loved the game
Definitely worth £2.99

I´ll passed it up. But thanks anyway!
I think the ork campaign in DoW2 Retribution is bugged. It took me five minutes to kill a guardian squad on easy mode. Double on normal. I'm going to go back and finish the imperial guard campaign. DoW2 has always sucked in difficulty scaling, and Retribution is just worse.
I finished the ork and space marine ones last week and if anything the orks were better at killing.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Ugh, I find those campaigns so difficult in the fact that they're just the same levels but with a different race.
I can't be bothered with that.

Reinstalled and started a new ork campaign. Eldar squads were back to normal hit points rather than 22,000.TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

I think this is a very good move on Nintendo's part. Early adopters should be mollified and people will be more willing to grab the thing. I was thinking about caving earlier this week, too.Nintendo 3DS price dropping to $170
Nintendo is dropping the price of its latest handheld videogame system, the 3DS, to $169.99, as it has failed so far to match the sales power of its predecessors -- the DS, DS Lite and DSi.
The drop from the 3DS launch price of $249.99 will go into effect Aug. 12, Nintendo said.
Nintendo said that in the United States, it has sold more than 830,000 of the 3DS -- which does not require 3-D glasses -- since its March 27 launch.
Those who have already bought a 3DS might not be too happy about the price drop so soon, which is why Nintendo is planning to give them a bit of a thank you gift.
"These Nintendo 3DS owners represent some of Nintendo's most loyal customers, and Nintendo is rewarding them for getting in on the action early with 20 free downloadable games from the Nintendo eShop," Nintendo said.
But there's a bit of a hitch. The early adopters have to use "a wireless broadband Internet signal to connect to the Nintendo eShop at least once before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Aug. 11" to get the free games, which Nintendo is calling its "Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program." Half the free games will be available in September, the other half by the end of the year.
Nintendo said Thursday that it has sold more than 4 million 3DS systems worldwide since the device launched in February in Japan.
Last year, Nintendo sold more than 27 million DS consoles.
"We feel the price change and several prominent software releases by the end of the year will definitely change the situation," Nintendo President Satoru Iwata told Reuters and other reporters in Osaka, Japan.
Iwata was referencing new high-profile titles for the 3DS set to launch this year, such as new Super Mario and Mario Kart games. So far, the biggest release has been a 3-D remake of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
News of the price drop also comes as Nintendo posted its first-ever quarterly operating loss, a loss of 37.7 billion yen, or about $48.4 million, on lower-than-expected sales of DS systems and the Wii home gaming console, Reuters said.
Paying over $100 for a handheld is crazy imo.
In a word : Yes
I use mine a bit less due to not traveling for as many extended trips as I used to, but the combined value of my PSP and DS Lite were well worth it. Much easier to tote around than an 18" laptop.
Good luck finding a new 3DS for under $100 anytime soon.
e: Depending on the downloads you get, if you can find 20 totaling a value greater than the 3DS price reduction, it might be worth paying $250 now.

How do you like the 3d effect long-term? I've only tried it for a couple minutes a few times at BestBuy.
The new star wars game looks like crap and I don't care for kinect but I LOVE the R2D2 and C3PO console and controller design.RTHKI wrote:

hmm. nah
it may look cool but im not sure about the controller in practice..
I can see how the controller being smooth could be a problem.
I do like some amount of tack or texture on a controller. Smooth ones show scrapes and damage way too easily.
Well, depends what you consider long term. I generally play little spurts of anywhere between 10-30 minutes. Sometimes I'll play for an hour in bed or something. I've never really had any issues with the 3D giving headaches or dizziness.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

I mean after awhile of owning the thing. Does it get old?

That price drop is going to be followed by another. They aren't selling because as I said, paying over $100 for a handheld is crazy.
People were fine with paying >100 for the DS and DS Light.AussieReaper wrote:

But I think people realize that the 3D shit is a best an annoying gimmick, and there currently aren't enough games to warrent the price tag.
And inb4 the Zelda remakes, because those have been around for over a decade, and who is going to spend $300 to play a game they've already played to death?
