Guys, I'm sorry and I feel really bad about it, but I ordered a bundle from Gamestop. In my defense, it's the $490 one that has BotW, the Guide and Season Pass for it, all things I would buy anyways, and it also comes with a travel case that won't be used for it's intended purpose, but my daughter will probably fill it with shopkins or something. The headset will probably sit on a shelf until Nintendo gets off their loving rear end AND MAKES A NEW MONSTER HUNTER CONSOLE GAME.

So all in all, they only downside is that I'm supporting the war criminals at Gamestop.

Then they might as well just give you the Master Sword like they do in every other Zelda game and then this would be boring. The whole point is to have lots of different weapons in the game you can pick up and to use all of them.

I'm guessing they removed some screws and it no longer actually sticks to the rest of that grip part. Though, that grip should have come with the ability to have it just a flat pad like that.

In Dark Souls if you get the strongest two handed sword there's no reason to use a less strong two handed sword.

Edit: dark souls isn't an example of an open world game what the gently caress are you talking about.

they all have different movesets. the "strongest" two handed sword in dark souls is whatever you like the most. going off of pure damage stats is not really what you need to do nor is it useful cos things are often close enough anyway that it doesnt matter. for dark souls 1 if you wanted the "best" two handed weapon theres like 6-7 candidates for best depending on what you like.

also dark souls 1 is open world.

It's only held on by like 8-10 screws total. The fake-controller thing feels like poo poo so I disassembled mine and use the center bracket to keep the joyconns together, flat, and not scraping each other up in transit. It's actually pretty convenient; a couple of my bags have pockets the right size for the downsized controller and the switch separate, but as one unit it's the main laptop pouch or bust.

So in GameStop sucks news I can't believe that horse poo poo that happened this morning. Basically they advertised pretty much everywhere that they would have them in store this morning, this was not the case. It's seems like almost no one got any and when you go and ask they say no, but you can order a hideously expensive bundle as of today. From what I've read this was the norm for today and not an isolated incident.

So they effectively bait and switched thousands of people. gently caress off Gamestop.

I wonder if they'll rerelease DS2 for the switch then :allears:

DS1 was okay but the diablo loot + active, not-point-and-click combat of DS2 scratched an itch that I didn't realize I was missing at the time.

Yep, I just tried it with mine. getting it off is a bit convoluted though. The grip uses size y0 of that three-pronged bit, and 4 surprise phillips screws. You have to take off 4 screws from the back of the flat part to take off the front panel, which reveals 2 screws needed to take off the back half of the grip, which reveals 4 small philliips scews that actually hold the rectangle to the grip.

I just realized I forgot my Switch at work, so I can't tell you how comfortable it is.

That's usually how it goes. Nintendo uses Triwing to keep all the normies out and then phillips once you get inside the part.

Nov 20, 2004

So here's a thing that someone may have a solution for: I've got two pairs of Joycons, and whichever one I'm not currently using stays attached to the console so it'll charge. I was playing Human Resource Machine and it refused to acknowledge the undocked right Joycon when I wanted to go back to the home screen. Is there any way to return to the home screen while using the left Joycon in single controller mode? It's not a big issue but it seems like an odd oversight.

Sometimes we must make deals with the devil... at least they have small profit margins on new stuff, especially consoles (though they get more from the bundles with those accessories since those have higher markups and they magically have stock for those but not for console only).

I have $5 worth of rewards after getting my NES Classic Edition and Switch from them. So gonna drop that on Has Been Heroes and hopefully never deal with them again after they screwed a relative of mine on one of the worst days of their life when they needed to come home and relax to Zelda to occupy their minds and had to wait a week because Gamestop decided not to ship their Switch on time (didnt give it to UPS even though they made a tracking number and everything). Not getting a switch on time isn't a huge deal in the long run, but when you have a top worst day of your life and need some escapism... gently caress Gamestop

I wanted to be a neo deconstructivist, but Mom wouldn't let me.
Most of the Gamestops around here got stock in and sold it yesterday, when they advertised everywhere that they would have them today. This seems to be the case with a lot of stores. I called one and asked and they immediately tried to push me to a bundle before they even said that they had sold the ones they had in stock.

A friend of mine working at a gamestop (Sacramento) said he was getting phone calls for his switches today basically every 30 seconds, and it was so bad in his district that they couldn't even organize the weekly phone conference because most stores had their phone lines occupied by customers looking for a system. He also never got his Switches today. Basically, at this point if you want one from GS, show up before they open, and hope you're one of the first 5 or 10 people to show up. He said he had a line around his building this morning, and according to his shipping manifests he's getting five maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe tomorrow.

Basically, the Switch is pretty popular at the moment, and short of paying for the online bundles, or paying off an rear end in a top hat scalper, you're gonna have some trouble hunting one down for a while yet.
