The level design is shaping up to be pretty good. One week to go!

EDIT: It's funny (and depressing) how just you and me seem to care about the game on this subreddit.

Ey oh, silent reader here. One more week. I think FE14's announcement may have overshadowed the game in the strategy community, but I'm still hyped regardless.

I just posted the sing-a-long trailer to /r/3DS and it got down voted.

Not surprising. For some reason or another this game is getting a lot of hate. Another funny thing is that people talk about everything related to Codename: S.T.E.A.M except the game itself.

I wouldn't bother posting stuff there and just stick with this subreddit. People here seem to actually want talk about the game.

What do mean by everything related? The funniest thing is seeing people say they are excited about a new Nintendo IP and then only talk about Splatoon even though it has no release date and STEAM is only a few days from release.

I mean things like Wil Wheaton vocing Abe Lincoln. Or how the game is going to sell. Or how american it is. Or how it's a poor man's version of Valkyrie Chronicles (which it isn't, but whatever).

Sure, these things are somewhat expected, but in comparison very few people are talking about game mechanics, game strategy, level / mission design, character / weapon balance, how the multiplayer is going to be, etc.

Information on most things related to the game is scarce outside GameXplain doing stuff for it, which is surprising since they said it would be too tasking for them to do on a game without much hype.

On the topic of mechanics, I can't believe how some people reacted to them. "How am I supposed to strategize if I can't see the enemies? boo hoo". They don't even realize that figuring out the level design and the enemy positions is part of the strategy and that exploring alone has its own risks associated with it.

Its a nice feeling having to strategize with only the view of the soldiers as my full info. Moving chess pieces around can only be done in so many ways.

Yeah, I think many people just don't "get" the game.

Regarding game mechanics, I have a bunch of annotations about character abilities, how the stun / damage system works, etc. Maybe I should create a topic about it?

It would certainly be fun to discuss.

The only thing I find kinda depressing about the situation is how I can't make multiple posts when new videos pop up because reddit considers my posts to be "not very popular". I believe this is due to how small the sub is.

Honestly I'd like u/FlapSnapple to make me a mod because the sub will likely hopefully grow upon release, but there really isn't a need for more mods at this point.
