The Switch isn't a real video game console since it doesn't have a port of Resident Evil 4


I really want one...

I just realized I really want to see a superhero game use the Nemesis system. Like, something that isn't tied to Marvel or DC or anything, but a new superhero universe, and the Nemesis System is what determines who your rogues gallery and archenemy end up being as you defend the city from a bunch of small-time supervillains all clamoring over each other for wealth and power.

the next Batman game is rumored to utilize this poo poo but idk if there's any truth to the rumor

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Batman video games are kind of like the Nemesis system in that I keep hoping they just go away but inevitably they return, each one more messed-up looking and horrifyingly broken than the last.

I've said this before, but I'm really dissappointed that all the batman games use a setting that fills the world only with enemies for batman to fight. It's always the apocalyptic Arkham setting. I want a batman game with a Gotham full of civilians just trying to get by and True Crime style random incidents. As Batman, you work "with" the police to clean up corruption and organized crime in Gotham. But two types of villains rise here: Criminals you bust, and civilians who you don't save. When a crime happens, sometimes the victim resents Batman for not saving them or their family or whatever.

There's a rumour going for over a year now where it'll be a game where you play as Batman's son and it's completely disconnected from the Arkham universe despite having similar gameplay. ~~Rumours~~ also say it'll scrap the one nigh plot point all Arkham games had, take place in Gotham and have civilians.

I feel like I'm still burned out on the Arkham formula after Origins. I just don't want to play that drat game again unless they take it in a completely different direction.

Asylum was great, City was fun but diluted, and I shouldn't have even played Origins. Haven't played Knight obvs

The Switch launched with like 8 games. I think not having Netflix is the least of its launch software problems.

Yeah, but looking over the launch titles of every Nintendo handheld, even their most successful have had pretty terrible or limited launch titles. Arguably the best was the GBA, but that was based mostly on ports of already-favorites, with the only cool new one being Castlevania.

For a long time, maybe since Crackdown, I've been dreaming of a Spider-Man: Gang War game featuring his organized crime (and henchmen-heavy) villains. The Nemesis system reinforced that idea for me, though it wouldn't necessarily need that system exactly. But it would be that same overall idea where you have the city carved up by mob bosses and supervillains and it's up to you to take down all their operations. But I'll settle for just seeing Mr. Negative in the new PS4 game coming out.

That's kinda all games, though. Besides Mario Maker I can't think of a game over the past several years that I've continued to play well after it "beating" it.

At least the Switch has the distinction of launching with a really excellent game for it. Granted, it isn't exclusive, but it's still something truly fun and cool you can do with your Switch right away. Meanwhile the best game that came out for the PS4 on launch was probably AC4: Black Flag? (Actually it was probably Resogun but let's stick to the "big" ones.)

I gotta admit I wish I'd gotten a Switch for BotW. I have it for Wii U and it's a blast, but having it in portable form would be nuts. I'm probably going to rebuy it when I eventually do get a Switch for that exact reason. If only I could transfer my save then :smith:

One thing I don't understand about the Switch: how the hell did Nintendo not get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ready for launch? It's a rerelease of a game that's been out for a couple years now, for gently caress's sake. How does that need two months after launch? Did they not even decide they were going to release it for Switch until too late to make the launch window or something?

Because honestly, that would've been the tipping point for me to buy a Switch at launch. One game I want to play isn't enough, but two might've done it. And while new games like Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey are clearly going to take more time because they're, y'know, new games, MK8 is a rerelease. I really would've thought that'd be feasible.

The Wii U launched with 32 (e: looked up the correct number) games and then had nothing of real note for months and months. They're deliberately waiting to release bigger name games over the next 9 months in the lead up to the holiday season. Mario Kart in April, Splatoon in the summer, Mario Odyssey in the fall.

Maybe that's a good enough reason, then.

I just wish they'd gotten MK8 out on launch because that would've been enough for me to take the plunge and then I wouldn't feel compelled to re-buy and re-play Breath of the Wild when I do get a Switch. (This is obviously an issue that probably only I have :v:)

to the few people who own both zelda and horizon, what are the main differences? just off the top of my head I'm thinking it's in:
--climbing mechanics
--weapon durability
--enemy variety

...but I'm curious how the locomotion of parachute stuff in Zelda compares to what moving around and traveling is like in Horizon, or if there's an analogue to the discoveries of kokoroks/shrines/shrine boss things in Horizon. Are they much different in world biome structures and platforming? I actually don't even know if Horizon has a jump button.

Horizon definitely has a jump button and it actually has one of the best traversal systems in terms of "you can jump onto pretty much anything and keep momentum to keep jumping upwards"

Feel like maybe they didn't need to create more demand at launch; they sold all the Switches right?

Be a while before the things are readily availible probably
