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.

Darksiders 1 was the best Zelda game for a drat good while.

Me too! A few people in the office are vying to get Switches so we can waste our lunches away.

Also my boss won't care if we waste more because fun stuff is fun.

It wasn't bad and I played through it in a bit over a weekend, but there are games where I say "this gameplay was fun enough that I could see myself playing it again at some point" and DS1 was not one of those. Also I liked Death's voice actor a lot better than Illidan War's, but the constant "I am 13 and this is my dark emo badass OC do not steal" vibe of War for the entire game may have had something to do with that. It's like they tried to do God of War but didn't get the whole "we're actually playing most of this for laughs" memo that comprised 90% of those games.


ANYWAYS

DS2 was a good game.

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 struck out today in my travels as well. Gamestop 1 said they sold out immediately this morning upon opening, although they offered me the bundle; Gamestop 2 said they're expecting theirs tomorrow, which doesn't help me because I live an hour away from town and today was my day off anyway. This was like an hour after opening and she said they already had 30ish calls asking about it.

Still holding out hope for local Walmart in the next few days according to what they told my wife. It's at least worth leaving 10-15 minutes early for work for a few days to try.

So if MarioKart has a May 28 date and ARMS is just Spring, I wonder if that inherently means "after Mario Kart".

Trip report: I GOT ONE

Stopped at a Gamespot on the way home, and of course they didn't get any in and "comeback tomorrow maybe." I then stopped at Walmart on a complete whim, saw they had a few in the glass case HOLY poo poo.

I had my dock behind my TV slightly and got crazy bad synch problems, now I have it next to the TV and only get slight desynch if I hold the left Joy-Con behind my back.

Alright Zelda's done updating, later

Mario Kart is APRIL 28 which means Arms is probably late May if I had to venture a guess.

Haven't multiple people mentioned having slowdowns in Isaac? Like you keep harping on him being a liar but it seems reasonable that he could have experienced frame rate issues.

So I have yet to actually play with the Joycons detached so far (pro controller 100% in docked mode)

Decided to try it tonight... the right joy con works fine 100% of the time. The left joycon cuts out if it's behind my back.

I guess my left joycon is hosed up? And Nintendo is replacing or repairing them now?
