So lemme start...
I needed some entertainment in a car when I started taxi driving (when waiting or resting). Vita didn't appeal to me much and was too pricey. I bought a New 3DS and a New 2DS XL, intending to return one of them (couldn't afford both and I didn't know how to choose). It was haaaard but I kept the XL for the larger screen.
GTA Chinatown Wars and Xenoblade Chronicles. I just have a thing for large, open world games.
I think Monster Hunter World doesn't get enough love. Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy (+) is also pretty neat.
It was quite fun buying 2nd hand games. Although honestly I was disappointed with a lot of the most popular ones.
I still haven't hacked my XL, I need to get around to it.
Good shout on the 2DS XL - I found the 3D tended to not add to the experience too much after a while, so the bigger screen was definitely the right decision.
I find it interesting you think Monster Hunter World is underrated, considering it's literally the most popular Monster Hunter game to date! There's a lot of people who prefer the older games, but the newer games definitely have much more appeal to most people.
Honestly I did like the 3D quite a bit - in general I actually do like 3D. Was thinking of buying a 3D monitor for the NVidia glasses thingy, but the monitors never were too good image quality-wise, and nobody except one company was making polarized 3D, only the flickering stuff... I'd still have taken one I think except it was clear that nobody else cares and it's gonna die soon.
Also, the small 3DS build quality was amazing. I love when things are well made. The 2DS XL feels really flimsy and I kinda hate it honestly, even tho I realize it only feels like that and it's not so bad.
Also the screen is kinda crap. Yea I know I'm shitting all over the 2DS XL... But at the end, I needed the bigger screen, and the 3DS XL was too expensive.
