That's pretty weird coming from people who probably already have a Wii U and thus could be playing the 99.9% identical version of the only game worth playing on the Switch without having to buy a new console.

Yeah def need a screen protector and there's only one bulky charger which you'd just leave with the dock lol

The game lineup is laughable and there isn't poo poo until the end of the year, ridiculous. They did the same poo poo with the Wii-u but they really wanted to rush this thing out the door, and it shows

I evidentally don't read games enough to recognize him but his poo poo has been like extra retarded as loving in switch thread. saying he doesn't trust digital foundry fps poo poo . I'm not a super gamer pro but DF usually seems legit about bad performance and he just wrote them off as being nerds who didn't make the game or what the gently caress ever it didn't even make semse

This got me for a second.

Finished Horizon Friday, apparently. Got blackout drunk and woke up to the credits paused on my TV. Don't remember a drat thing about how it ends, so I guess I'll need to replay the last few missions. Not complaining, I'm seriously thinking of replaying the whole thing over.

Horizon does a nice job of making the robot animal combat very engaging. Playing the game on hard lends a nice challenge to it. Any lowly robot is capable of killing Aloy in 2-3 hits. You have to be thinking about each battle.

It's worth it just for the larger hard drive. You'll spend more than that $100 if you ever decide that 500GB isn't enough (because it isn't these days).

If you have a PS4 already I don't know that it's worth getting a Pro, but if you're deciding between the two, go with the Pro.

You can get the slim Uncharted bundle for $265 and an 1tb external drive for $56 off Amazon right now. Swap the two hard drives and with the upcoming patch you'll have an extra 500GB w/ Uncharted for $80 cheaper than a Pro.

Can't really speak if the boost and 4k is worth it since I'm using a 19" monitor but price wise it doesn't match up. Even a 2TB SSHD upgrade comes out cheaper.

Wii U is gonna age pretty well though. I'm probably gonna finish getting the last few Nintendo games I don't have for it (Hyrule Warriors, Twilight Princess, Splatoon, others?) and then buy a few more SNES/64 VC games for it.

At that point you've got one more piece of hardware on the shelf that looks like poo poo, a year-old game that runs $20-30 anyway, and the decision of whether the boosted hardware is worth $80. I still the Pro is the way to go.

I bought another PS4 because we needed a blu-ray player and a streaming device that was PSVue compatible for our living room TV (we just moved into a house from a 1-bedroom apartment so we have an office/gameroom now where my original PS4 resides). The next cheapest option was only 50 bucks cheaper, so it seemed like a no brainer to just grab a slim.

I was able to get a slim bundle for 200 thanks to reward certificates and that Visa $25 promo at Best Buy. Part of me wishes I had just paid the extra ~150 to grab a Pro but I don't own a 4K TV so I don't think it would have been as worth it.

I'll still probably buy a Pro one day, most likely when my OG Ps4 craps out.

HZD isn't revolutionary but it is very good. If you own a PS4 you should at least check it out.

Also it is drop dead gorgeous.

Also if you need to send your device in for a replacement or it breaks in any way you lose all your saves. There is no way to transfer or backup saves, nor a cloud.

Hopefully it gets added

Also they're charging exorbinant amounts for any sort of peripheral or replacement

The Switch hardly is more powerful than the wii-u, if at all


Would have been cool if they somehow just made a new tablet or something for the wii-u, letting you take the games on the road, using it as a sort of dock or adding a peripheral somehow

I used to defend Nintendo but mostly out of nostalgia and love for mario/metroid/zelda games. Now that metroid is dead and I haven't liked a Zelda since wind waker (the 3ds one is good tho) coupled with the fact the switch is hosed up in the same way the U was hosed up, I just don't even care. Like I'm not mad at games or whatever it's just I can't even be bothered to buy one or get hype at all.

Same.

Honestly, I think I finally stopped caring about Nintendo poo poo when they started putting SNES games on n3DS but didn't do cross purchases or anything with Wii U. They've had so many years to get online play and account stuff right, and they keep loving it up.

Oh well, I'll just go play my PS4 and PC games instead. Not the end of the world.
