Forums - Nintendo - Reviews for Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright/Conquest/Revelations! BirthRight 87 / Conquest 89

It's always the same thing with them. They go into Nintendo games expecting them to be easy because of their prejudice, pick a difficulty setting that is too high for their skills and then blame the game. Or in case that there are no difficulty settings, they also blame the game for their own incompetence.

I agree, it's a constant this gen for them. I understand lower the score because of its difficulty if it's an unfair difficulty. In FE games it's all about your competence with it. If you're bad, you can't possibly blame the game and lower the score because of your own incompetence. I'm not saying that the man has to be good at FE, but this version of the game was promoted as a harder experience, and he should play Birthright if he doesn't have the skills. Then, maybe, move on to Conquest. But, well, DK all over again. They must have learned by now that not all the Nintendo games are easy, but, GS. I'm done with them.

Seriously Gamespot is pathetic, everytime a game is challenging gets a lower score.

Is really strange that critics are reviewing Revelations too. This gonna be weird. Anyway is looking good.

The Special Edition (the whole game) is at 88 on metacritic with 12 reviews.

I'm sure Gamespot found Conquest too hard, you know, Tropical Freeze again. And why in the hell did they rate Revelations higher? It's not supposed to be the lesser part? XDD

 

GS: "Conquest is a great game, and I fell for its hardcore lean at times, but when I was backed into a corner after a series of hard fights with no resolution but to lower the difficulty, I wished I was playing Birthright instead."

OF COURSE! XDDD

Gamespot makes me shake my head. Why couldn't they go instead of gametrailers

Gamespot thought Conquest was too hard I guess.

And your joke was actually right. Talk about self fulfilling.

It depends on the company, I guess (and I truly love this game, not flaming or something xDD).

The reviewer should have played Conquest on the lowest difficulty setting. It's evident from the quote of the review that the reviewer bit of more than he could chew.

" I vowed to challenge myself and play in Classic mode--where characters who die in battle are permanently disabled--and I told myself I wouldn't back down from the loss of a valuable comrade by resetting my 3DS and reloading an old save. It would be a mark of pride to finish the game under these conditions, whether everyone I commanded made it out alive or not."

Yeah, you're right.

I'm surprised some publications reviewed all three versions separately, but I approve!

It should be, Especially when Birthright and Conquest are completely different games :o

Sure, but since when is the enthusiast press anything close to responsible, or even adequate?

Yeah but thats a saga that gets a free pass on that (and thats ok) because the difficulty is a big part of its appealing, if Gamespot gave DS3 a 7 "because is too hard and fustrating" the people would eat them alive. Is true that it happens mostly with Nintendo, they always come expecting Nintendo games to be a walk in the beach and they end up being kicked in the ass by them too many times, yet they keep expecting everyone of them to be Epic Yarn.



Seems like its getting pretty good reviews so far, though i doubt it'll be able to overtake Awakening.

Yes, that's right. As long as it's not an unfair difficulty, you should know what you're playing. And Conquest was always going to be a harder experience. I honestly think they should change the Nintendo reviewers (I don't know actually if they're the same group of reviewers). Because it's been the same this gen since the beginning. Even Rainbow Curse was called mediocre for being "frustrating", and I'm a noob which had zero problems with it. What bothers me is that GS is one of the biggest gaming publications, and many people don't read the reviews and just stick to the score, which is irrelevant if the review is badly written or unfair, which seems like a given nowadays with them.
