The first two didnt have tutorials on how to use a fucking MOVE psynergy. It may be the incorporated touch controls but for GS1/2 fans like us, these are such a waste of time. I don't know why but the first two were so intuitive that you didn't need tutorials to go through them. Remember, only the Djinn usage had the longest tutorial back in the days!

I don't like the lower encounter rate.

No grinding.
The camera moves too much it makes me sick.

Why the hell am i disappointed??!

I don't like feeling this with my recent games.

They're making most games just videos to watch now.

Got some bad news for you....

I posted much earlier that the dumps were identical. Apparently it seems there's a repack of the XXXX lolcatz dump labelled as the Robotkillers scene dump floating around.

MD5 of lolcatz - 882B71AA3E797E6B3B930171216CC15C
MD5 of Robotkillers - B4C124796E3F4FCF7D9944D5F120BAE6

(MD5 Checker - http://download.cnet.com/MD5-Checker/3000-...4-10410639.html )

Sorry....i feel like such a fraud....

Nope, the first time you use Move you're not led into a tutorial.
Kraden just tells you about the statues in the room and he wants more investigation
but not something like a 2 minute tutorial.

...

It's not a two-minute tutorial in here, either. It's just them telling you to try out Move.
Kraden also tells you the same thing.

Yeah, it's a bit longer than what GS1 had, it's far from excessive.

Also, keep in mind the fact that Dark Dawn is supposed to be considered the start of the main storyline, and that GS1 and 2 were simply the prologue. It's also been 7 years in reality since the last Golden Sun game, not to mention Dark Dawn is quite a bit different in it's menus and such from GS1 and 2.
Why is it such a big deal that they want to make sure people who are just getting into Golden Sun know how to use Psynergy correctly on the field?

The encounter rate doesn't feel any different from the first two games. You didn't have to grind in EITHER Golden Sun game. Hell, I'm currently replaying GS2 for my 4-5th time, and I haven't grinded once, and I'm practically overleveled. Grinding doesn't make a game good.

I haven't experienced any problems with the camera. In fact, I kind of like the dynamic camera, it makes it feel a little more fresh.

Overall, stop complaining, unless you actually have a legitimate problem with the game. It's been 7 YEARS since the last GS game, and it's on an entirely different system. Of COURSE things aren't going to be exactly the same. It'd be ridiculous for it to be.

On EDGE 2.0, the RobotKillers version doesn't work. Trying out the XXXX Lolcatz version just in case.. will edit the post when I have results.

EDIT: Nope. Same black screens.

Idk how far I am but i'm 5 hours through,and I must say this game is really good.

Is it better than the other GS games?Unfortunatly,no. Is it still one of the best DS RPGS?Yes.

any news for cyclods users
frown.gif
!

I also have a fireX card it has no microsd support but I use a usb through slot 2 gba cartridge and I copied the dslinker files a while back and then the menu changed to dslinker through an xmenu.dat....so if I was to copy the files from ttmenu 6.40 onto my firex or overwrite my cyclods microsd will this work?

I managed to get an MD menu working on my firex card but it only uses xmenu.dat not the TTS.dat menu

.

or should I just wait for a patch?
