You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

I got the joke so I will report back once I start playing and let everyone know if I enjoy the game. We'll know if this assertion holds water by the week's end, by god.

i'm fine with that and i will also ironically try ffXV starting next week

yes i bought a ps4 some time ago, everyone has bad days

what puzzles me greatly is why this thread isn't talking about breath of the wild more. i read a comment on marvel vs capcom last page and i find it very inappropriate in a switch thread

Can't wait for all the reports of people melting their official Switch wall charger with out of spec third party cables and burning down their house!

Hopefully the official charger is C to C and not A to C.

@Play do some dumb poo poo with their accessories. Their NES Classic controller cables have a cheap plastic hook under the male end that will block the second-player socket on the console.

The plug also looks weirdly loose in the casing, until you unscrew it and remove said plastic hook before screwing it back together. Then it fits snugly like it should never have had it at all.

I wonder if that's because the Wii classic controllers/nunchuks have that plastic hook on them for the wrist strap, and they just kept the same design for the NES Classic version without really thinking about it.

I like my roman numerals like that. Unfortunately I haven't eaten Pringles in forever.

But to elaborate a bit on the AAA games thing: I would be very sad if games like the Dark Souls were not ported to the Switch. Other than them, what I consider AAA today are MOBAs (including Overwatch, a cool new moba with guns!) some of the best indie stuff, most Nintendo games and little else. This is all very arbitrary but being a pretty old gamer I don't like the fact that there's a whole new generation of spectacular, high budget products with the most soul-crushingly monotonous gameplay. It's been discussed ad nauseam elsewhere too, by some of the best people in the business: while games can definitely affect you emotionally they might not be the right media for complex stories or Hollywood-level spectacle. Go write a book or direct a movie if you're that good.

Now the Mass Effect series is almost decent cinema material (except portions of the third and obviously the ending) but as a game, heh. It doesn't do anything great. I think few developers come close to having "story", spectacle and gameplay at the same time, like Kojima with the latest MGS, while others (like Nintendo) are more conservative and go for gameplay first and foremost. Consequently, few other games feel as good to actually play as Nintendo games do.

This is why I'm not looking forward to most AAA stuff on Switch, and I suppose at least some of the other Nintendo die-hard fans agree with me.

Overwatch is not a MOBA.

In today's gaming it can only be a MOBA or a rogue-like, and it's too high budget for the latter.

Potentially dumb question: I got a travel battery a few months back, if I use it with some usb-a to usb-c cable to charge my switch, will it charge at the same speed as my phone or will it get the benefits from usb-c?

At a guess I'd say the same speed as your phone, but have a look on the battery pack and see if it says "Output = 5V : 3A : 15W" or similar on it somewhere.

Edit: Actually I'm pretty sure my 5X only charges at a standard speed when plugged into a USB-C > USB-A cable anyway.

A lot of the love for FFXV seems to be ironic "Look at me I'm in a boy band lol I'm traveling with a bunch of dudes and am super effeminate ROFL".

But this is good. I think ironic love for something comes from an unironic desire to experience something from a new perspective in a safe non-committal way. Players are being enabled to experience a different, non traditional mode of masculinity they aren't used to and deriving joy from it, and that's great.
