Do games even have instruction manuals now beyond a page to say "here's how to put in the cart/disc because you must be a freshly unthawed neanderthal playing a game for the first time"?


Who even reads manuals for games? It's a loving game.

EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.
watched Zelda on a stream for five minutes. Apparently 10/10 is the number of frames you get in an average second. Like holy poo poo bad. It barely even counts as animation.

Nice game, console dorks.

I prefer the Dark Souls method where all information about how to play or what any items/mechanics do is actively obscured from the player because gently caress you, that's why.

A new console released in 2017 can't hit 30 fps consistently at 720p. There's really no excuse for that at $300.

hey man im a pc game guy too with a fast rig but frame rate and graphics are just icing on the cake. the thing i care about is if the game is good

the fact switch has only one (apparently really really good) game is the thing that sucks about it. i dont care about hardware nerd poo poo

I agree graphics don't matter compared to gameplay, but framerate dips can ruin games. If this system had good games and good online play, I'd possibly be interested.

Horizon Zero Dawn has a menu option that lets you choose between "favor performance" or "favor resolution", why doesn't every game have that

Most modern games care more about how the graphics look in screenshots than how it performs in motion, I don't care if my game becomes a bit uglier as long as it keeps a consistent locked 30fps so please let us adjust it

i donno man, the latest console system i own is a PS3 and most of those games seem to come with manuals. skyrim and fallout and GTA come with maps too. big open world zelda game feels like it could have come with a map. all the good zelda games came with maps

just seems kind of cheap not to have anything, this is supposed to be their big system seller

The HD version on Wii U cuts out 90% of the necessary fishing quests and gives you a sail that makes you go twice as fast, so they basically perfected the game

That's weird because apparently one of the selling points of BotW is how immersive it is and if there is one thing that quickly pulls you out of the immersion of a game it's poo poo chugging sub-30fps performance

I have no problems believing BotW is a fun game but you can't have your cake and eat it too

how did nintendo even find hardware so bad that it can't run a pretty simple looking game at 900 let alone 1080? I converted an 9 year old desktop into an HTPC and even that can play like skyrim at 1080 without dipping.

The mist that chills you keeps me warm.

So the console isn't really $300, you guys. A dock is $90, and a pair of Joycons will run you $80, so you're really only paying $130 for the console itself.
