Anidav posted:While I find Zelda impressive. Stamina is way too imbalanced. Most of the shrines outside the plateau require a gently caress load of climbing making the game slightly linear towards Kakariko Village. You can supplement your stamina with stamina recovery foods and elixirs and also take movement speed food/elixirs. It's not that big a deal. Of course Nintendo would like to help you along the path, you can forge your own once you learn the game's rules.

parallelodad posted:Huh. I read it has haptic feedback but when I was playing I didn't really notice it at all. Weird though that you would feel the tires on a hover car. Thats what happens when you've been playing Forza 5 like crazy for the past 2 years, then jump into a spaceship racing game and post about it after drinking Nyquil. But the haptic feedback does give an interesting texture. I just picked up one of the last Pro Controller gamepads in my area, and its definitely not giving that kind of feedback. Though its still nice. Ergonomic as gently caress. Love the feel of the shoulder buttons and triggers. Round buttons feel a tad cheap though. But i'm concerned that online multiplayer for Fast RMX still is not working for me. If someone can confirm they are able to do online matches, let me know. I'm about to bring my switch to McDonalds, connect to their wifi, and use the kickstand and play it there like a nerd.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:It's artistically beautiful, as I said. I appreciate it as an amazing looking game within the restrictions of the hardware. But it does not look like a current gen game on a 4K TV. Edges "shimmer" in movement, textures are low res, and with very little on screen compared to modern games. Game looks dope on my HDTV. I hope you bought the switch knowing it wasn't going to output to 4k.

It's a great and unique game unto itself with a lot of critical acclaim, it'll be the only multiplayer team shooter on Switch, and it'll be the only modern shooter you can play on handheld device. I can't really think of a reason that it won't do well.

Someone got it right that the name is a little confusing if you don't keep up with things and after Wii/Wii U naming gently caress ups lets not do that again.

Cartoon Man posted:Nintendo actually got it right on how to communicate to the masses what this thing is during those goofy commercials. Each commercial shows someone playing the game on a TV, popping it off it to play on the go, then popping it back in to play at home. It's not a complicated process, its easy to do and anybody can make it work. They really need some more games on it though. Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart both have to launch before Christmas or I feel like Nintendo's challenge is that the switch really needs to be seen in person to be appreciated. People have to see Zelda running on the handheld and on the TV. I just don't think youtube videos do it justice.

My tempered glass screen protector came... I'm psyching myself out to apply it. My understanding is unlike the plastic ones you can't peel up corners to catch stray dust you missed? acksplode posted:It's a great and unique game unto itself with a lot of critical acclaim, it'll be the only multiplayer team shooter on Switch, and it'll be the only modern shooter you can play on handheld device.

I just don't think youtube videos do it justice. Yeah, what clicked it for me was my brother kicking me out of the den so he could go to bed on the pull out couch and it taking me less than a minute to slide the Joycons out of the grip and onto the console and pick it up and press the shoulder buttons to get back into the game. It's really easy and seamless, but there's no real way to show it in a video or describe it adequately. As for Splatoon 2, I loving loved Splatoon 1 but was always bummed I would miss Splatfests because I couldn't use my Wii U or forgot. If I get this digital on the Switch, I can literally pick it up and play it wherever and whenever and damnit, that poo poo's cool.

Did Splatoon 1 support both gyro and analog aiming simultaneously? I can't remember, but I couldn't get into the controls. Loved everything else. If Splatoon 2 behaves like Zelda bow aiming, I'll get it.

Switch sold 313k in Japan for first week. WiiU - 308k Wii - 371k PS4 - 322k Switch was only on the market for 3 days in its first week. That's about 100k a day the first 3 days of its life.

If Splatoon 2 behaves like Zelda bow aiming, I'll get it. Splatoon and Zelda gyro assisted aiming works exactly the same so I think you just got more used to it since then. Some people did need to adjust the stick sensitivity in splatoon at first.

Neo_Crimson posted:So does anyone have a tracker or anything so I can find someplace that has a Switch at non-scalper prices? Call stores nearby you and ask when they usually get stock then show up first thing in the morning and hope. Apparently they may have some coming to Target tonight/tomorrow so I'm dropping by before work to see if I get lucky. If they don't the it's safe to say the Switch is poo poo and I'm glad I don't have one. (I just want to play Zelda everywhere, drat it) Most stocking sites refresh once a day so there not exactly reliable. You could also go for something like nowinstock.net which keeps track of online retailers. They have a link to the Switch on their front page.

I finally got my Switch and now I'm sitting at my desk getting it set up even though there's a tornado rolling through town. First impressions: -This thing is like 1/3 larger than I thought it was going to be and I don't feel like I need a Pro Controller immediately -Full range RGB thank gently caress -As a crazy person who likes to pack things back into their original boxes when I'm not going to use them for a while, I really like this box -The ability to grab game updates from other local Switch users seems like a glaring attack vector for homebrew -I immediately inserted and removed the Switch from its dock around 100 times with no screen protector just for fun

My Pixel XL charger does 5v/3A and 9v/2A USB PD, and seems to charge it quickly while playing Zelda.
