The last I played, which was well over a year ago people the chat looked like an MMO with people trying to trade stupid-rear end hats constantly and weren't really playing the game. Now there's Microtransactions too? lol drat, how the mighty have fallen.

greatn posted:Buying a charge grip IS basically necessary if you get an extra pair of joy cons because you can only keep two charged at once via the system, there's nowhere else to plug them in. If you're doing 20 hour marathon gaming with 4 people sure. If you aren't, then you charge two on the Switch overnight and charge the other two during work/school/whatever. I have a dozen or so rechargeable AA batteries and my charger only charges 4 at a time. It's not an issue because I don't need to charge 5+ at a time just like 99% of people won't need to charge 3+ joycons at a time. s.i.r.e. posted:I honestly thought the game was close to death but it's apparently still going strong with one of the highest player counts on Steam.

Dr. VooDoo posted:I love TF2 but that little quote on IGN reads more like he feels his game is Too Cool to be on Kiddie Nintendo. TF2 is nice looking but it's not some hardware pushing graphics juggernaut. It's literally running on a modified Source 1 engine Actually it reads more like "we can't fit the game on there". Because the guy chose to laugh the writers at IGN decided to make the title sound as if the man was derisively laughing at Nintendo in the headline.

So apparently Switch preorders in Japan sold out in fifteen minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if it sells better over there at first.

Man, if only they thought of you and your specific use case. How selfish of them! Buy a $30 charging dock, it charges 4 JoyCons at once. So you can "plug your poo poo in when you're done with it" No one needs a charging grip.

At least DQ Heroes is a bundle of both 1 and 2 together, and 2 is still a recent game. RoTK 13 loving sucks though and even with a Power-Up Kit they can't salvage that mess.

Well, I preordered the Switch and BOTW and paid in full. Getting 5% off takes a little of the sting out of the AU price, at least.

Looper posted:Graphical capabilities haven't been paramount for a while now. Where a game looks good and is pleasant to watch depends much more on the art team than the strength of a processor, and the common gamer is starting to realize that Processing power affects more than graphics. There's a reason why Zelda looks so sparse. Not to mention AI, etc. Low processing power is limiting in every way. edit: typo UnfortunateSexFart fucked around with this message at 07:15 on Jan 21, 2017 |

I don't want the old 16 gfx. And i sure as gently caress don't like the HD look one loving bit. All they needed to do is add some level of more frames of animation and use any of their many many talented artists rather then whoever did this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SEmO33srNk A good video that covers the issue of stock and sales numbers in relation to the Switch, pre-orders, and competing systems. At the very least, there doesn't seem to be an artificial limitation on stock and it's keeping pace with how well the PS4 and XBOne did early on.
