Checked my N4I's Stupid Splurge Slush Fund and spent a few hours hitting up stores around town and discovered that Nintendo is really bad at taking my money.

oh yeah you think that'd be easy at a gamestop from people turning them in towards switches.

edit: but after seeing pictures of used consoles having like roaches and worms in them along with other reasons I'd never buy a used console

Playing PS3 games is oddly comforting. The graphics and controller are like a time machine to when I was way young and life was chill.

I had one at launch in 2006. That made me super popular in the dorms on Ramstein.

Same dude. I'm replaying Mass Effect 1 right now and it's bringing me back to when I was in Germany right after our Iraq deployment. All my buddies, the good beer and food, the fresh air of southern Germany. I bought ME1 right when it came out, we had like 2 months of leave and then a streak of like 2 more months after that where we did nothing at all, didn't even have to show up for work. I loving played ME1 nonstop for a week straight until I beat it. Then I got some weird bug that made me poo poo and puke continuously for a week that I found out 5 years later was probably TB that I caught in Iraq :buddy:

I've never played Binding of Isaac but looking at screenshots of the game I find it incredibly funny that the Switch apparently has framerate problems with a game that looks about as graphically complicated as Smash TV

The netcode is still p2p, which means massive lag rendering that round completely unplayable.
The enemies still have instakills, which everyone loved

So this on top of the gear packs and RNG cards leaving you hoping you unlock a character/class you want sounds like they didn't learn anything from ME3's multiplayer :cripes:

ya i'm pretty loving underwhelmed with it so far


that said, i am keeping in mind this is a trial only and there is every chance they are using it to gather data to patch issues

also sniper rifles seem to be far and away the strongest weapons which is a huge pain, i loved that in 3 there were many viable playstyles

i'll post my autistic screeching from the me3 thread

quote:

OK I think I've nailed down what my biggest issue with the game is.

Feedback. Or rather, the lack thereof.

ME3 had a clearly defined sound and reaction for basically everything. I'm sure I don't need to tell you what overload sounded like. Or any of the biotic sounds - they had a launch sound and a hit sound. Your control pad would vibrate like gently caress on receiving hits. The two halves closing in to become a circle was a great way of showing when your cooldown was over without being intrusive.
Having three lines showing chargeup is... it isn't the same.

If I'm not mistaken, your character might make a comment when coming under fire. But in Andromeda I just feel totally disconnected from the world. I'm under fire but I can't tell from where. My powers don't seem to have the big meaty impacts they did in 3. Melee is a short hop forward and a head bop, rather than the full head smash with associated grunting from 3. I can't explain it any better than this but honestly it just feels really, really disconnected where 3 you felt part of the action.

Also the Mattock doesn't ptink anymore.

i changed melee from Y to A as I mentioned. Now when an enemy grabs me, it tells me to mash Y to escape, but when I go to revive someone I have to press A. Which is weird as gently caress, because they were both previously on Y. Why would they shift only one of those two commands?

Another dude made a pretty valid comment

Digirat posted:

You're having that experience because they got the feel worse in a lot of ways, plain and simple.

When you heabutt someone in mass effect 3, there's a really loud and deep CRUNCH, the screen shakes all over the place, and they usually either forcefully recoil or they ragdoll and get sent hurtling away, so you feel like that headbutt had the force of a cannonball behind it.

When you heabutt someone in mass effect andromeda, this happens.

I wonder if the guy referenced here is still working at bioware because it seems like no, just judging from this kind of thing.

made in the same engine, and i wanna say when inquisition came out, some bioware dude said it was the blueprint for the next me game. cant recall the animations being as terrible tho. i also told the wacky internet character to gently caress off as soon as she showed up, so that was nice

Playing GRW campaign again and some of Sandoval's recordings take on different meanings knowing what you know. The one I just listened to has him musing that something big would have to happen to get enough attention from the US to commit troops, hinting at his plot to bomb the embassy.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Wii-u prices are probably going to be all over the place. Now is probably the time to buy, as people offload for the switch. That said the production was fairly limited so some people will probably be price gouging and it'll slowly go up in price.

I'm guessing $150-200 for a used wii-u? I got mine bundled with a pro controller and games on ebay. Pro controller is a must.

Everyone should have one honestly if you like co-op. There's a huge backlog of great games and BoTW plays fine. Also check out the modding/homebrew community

*Buy the first edition bayo 2 that includes bayo 1. I got mine on eBay for $50. They should be around that price. For whatever reason only the first line of prints included bayo 1.
