Heroes of Ruin - an ARPG on the Nintendo 3DS

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this gem yet. It's always Diablo this, Path of Exile that, Torchlight this too. All of them are great games, I'm sure. But still, you really shouldn't underestimate the little console called the Nintendo 3DS. And especially not Heroes of Ruin. Anyone else looking forward to it?

I don't see Heroes of Ruin as a gem, it's ... pretty nice game It has some nice gameplay system etc. Still 3DS is hindering it's real potential for me.

and please get rid of that Video Preview, it easily discourage everyone...
Um... you do realize you linked to the wrong game? :)

Why is the 3DS hindering the real potential? What's wrong with a handheld console?

It's specifications are pretty much as netbook (probably much worse), It's memory disk it's quite small too. I would say that graphics would be bad too, but resolution is so small I guess it can take care of.

I guess it doesn't allow you to get some nice complex games in.

(I wonder if you get counter-argument on that...)

I find Playstation portable more capable in that way, especially if Touch screen isn't used in good way.

I realize that. Phantasy Star Online 2, one of those games which no one knows about but it's pretty much revolution in MMO gaming.
Specs? Have you even tried it? Try games like Resident Evil: Revelations, then tell me the specs aren't 'good enough'.

But well... once you got yourself in other one, then tell me why does heroes of ruin looks so bad?

Diablo 1 came out on the PS1. I personally feel that if an action RPG is done properly, it won't require much to run it. And why would a small "memory disk" be bad? You think great games must have giant save files or something? Or are you referring to the processor?

The 3ds is capable of some pretty decent graphics, certainly better than the normal DS. And that cheap shot about the small resolution, you're kinda sounding like a...

fanboy. It is all clear now. Sony fanboys are the worst. ANYWAY it is true that the (I assume you're talking about the vita?) vita is more powerful than the 3ds. I think that fact is irrelevant though. It's a handheld. I don't require photo-realism in my portables. I think the 3ds is more than capable of running some great arps. And this game is coming out on the 3ds so conversation over, i guess.
I don't have sig :D -- gracy123

I am a huge PSO fan (I own all the games for console and PC), and just because you just now discovered PSO2 doesn't make it revolutionizing.

-> I'm just confused about so big difference in graphics quality, RE:Revelations look pretty much like RE4, while this...
It looks like some of NDS titles. That's why I said something about memory catridge.

Well I find double screen quite disturbing in ARPG, same for controls. Of course everything can be changed to positives, if thought.

Lower Screen for hotkeys, upper for action etc.

Still it's something not usual, and you don't see that all the day right? Free-Form control and full non-Target makes it quite revolutionary. And it's for console (but it's not argument right?)

Look at Monster Hunter, Vindictus, etc... You just haven't been around much have you?
