turn left hillary!! noo posted:I must be out of the loop by not having a PS4/Xbone, but Zelda is jaw droppingly gorgeous to me. I'm continually flabbergasted by how good it looks, so I don't understand this kind of talk. I'm not one to get too focused on resolutions or frame rates, but there were a few things that bothered me. There was a weird haze during a lot of the game, presumably to hide the not great draw distance of the details? Even after the framerate patch things actually seemed to have gotten worse, at least for me. Instead of the frame rate being lovely in some areas my game was coming to a literal stop for seconds at a time. I don't know why, but the snow areas had a green'ish tint and I also remember some of the Death Mountain areas getting a weird tint that didn't seem to fit the area. I had just got a Samsung KS8500 and thought my TV was broke. After checking some PS4 games those looked great though. I don't know, I just don't think it was visually impressive and not even talking about the style of the game. I was playing docked the entire time, I guess maybe it looks better in handheld mode?

Zelda's art style is great and also very deliberately disguises things like the trees looking like World of Warcraft assets because the very simple look fits the style. However there are some noticeable jaggies and bad textures. The pop-in is atrocious too, in some fields and wooded areas you can literally see flowers appearing like three feet away from you. It still looks really really good because the folks making the game did a top notch job. The haze is really loving bad though but I don't think it's a performance thing because it doesn't actually obscure anything, it just makes the game look washed out. It's weird.

The game is aesthetically beautiful and looks when you're up close to stuff but everything in the distance is pretty muddy, 900p at 30fps sucks and there's noticeable pop-in. It's limitations of the hardware and they pushed the Switch as far as it can go, but pulling out the Sheikah tablet to zoom into anything in the distance looks like god drat poo poo.

I've had no problems with my Switch since launch date. Today I took it out from my bag, and from its pouch while it was in sleep mode and the thing was heating up with the fans going on overdrive. Any idea what caused this?

Maybe it's waking up from sleep mode while in the bag? The fans will stay on in sleep mode if the console is too hot. I had to turn on the "3 button press to resume" thing back on to stop mine from doing that.

I love the lighting in Zelda. They did an amazing job capturing the open air feel. Horizon Zero Dawn looks technically miles better than Zelda but that game isn't very pleasing to look at for me personally. It reminds of those HDR wallpapers that used to be a huge thing a decade ago.

Good to hear about things Nintendo will maybe bring in 10 years though, lol. I guess I have noticed some of that but it was more like a "huh, that's weird" and it never bothers me. Sometimes it'd be nice to start gliding toward a tower and have a little more time to alter my trajectory after I see 3 electric Wizzrobes pop in though.

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:Does the full version of Puyo Puyo Tetris have the option to increase AI difficulty? All I've found in the demo is the handicap setting, and all that seems to do is make my pieces drop faster. I've resorted to playing 1v3 against the bottom row of characters. It's generally still not consistent enough of a challenge but it can keep things interesting or at least have the games going longer than 1v1. Or could try playing against Puyo but I haven't tried that myself, the potential for Puyo garbage is pretty massive so if the AI is good enough that should be fun. Can't wait to get my rear end beat online, haven't been able to find anyone among my friends that can remotely challenge me. One handicap I did was swapping left/right joycons...which still wasn't a huge handicap when I didn't have to rotate a piece. Another would be the alternate control schemes, cause there's no explanation for them. japtor fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Apr 17, 2017 |

Good to hear about things Nintendo will maybe bring in 10 years though, lol. It's all really minor poo poo and as someone who loves running games maxed out at 1080p/60FPS on his computer it didn't matter. Art style goes above and beyond graphical flair and Nintendo always delivers in spades when it comes to art. BOTW is amazing regardless of it's resolution and frame rate, but when the frame rate really took a poo poo before the patched it, I got headaches if I was in low fps area too long. Though, having said that, I'd love to play BOTW somewhere down the line at full 1080p/60fps and less pop in. Probably gonna have to be through emulators.

s.i.r.e. posted:Ordering Mario Kart 8 Deluxe from Target gets you a Switch/Mario Kart branded Rubix Cube for some reason: Can anyone find a target.com confirmation of this? All the sites I find end up linking to that imgur picture or to a reddit post that links to that imgur picture. Meanwhile target.com makes no mention of it that I could find and my local Target was unaware of any such item, and a bit surprised because normally they'd get preorder cards a month in advance if they were going to do preorder somethings but they had nothin' for MK8D. I'm worried this may be a hoax, because I for one did intend to get MK8 physical, and also I've no objections to patronizing Target.

The Splatoon 1 preorder bonus at Target was a repurposed water gun with a Splatoon sticker and a Wii U sticker on it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. (I have that water gun. It owns.)

They link to the order page for MK8D on Target's site but the site has no mention of it so I don't know what the deal is. But the offer is from Nintendo directly.

A hypothetical isaac amiibo should just come with miscellaneous goo that you have to put in the figure so that it's leaking constantly edit: or just be a tiny mr. potato head with a tons of collectible poo poo you can get for it.

Uncharted 4 and hzd were, in different ways, so far beyond everything else on ps4 visually that im very hopeful mario can have some anti aliasing if nintendo really wanted

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Switch Owns day 45: switch owns I'm actually starting to run into that "hard shutdown" issue-- sometimes when I put it to sleep, when I go to wake it up it won't respond to the home button, and when I hit the on-console on button to wake it up it's shut down BotW (haven't seen the issue with other games, yet). I've never had it happen before but it happened like 3 times over this weekend. p. glad that I always save before sleeping the console but not super happy with this particular turn of events

My only real complaint with the controls for Zelda is the dodge counters, which seem random and arbitrary as hell. Parrys seem really consistent and are satisfying, though. I'll do a perfect dodge and not trigger a counter, then other times I'll dodge an attack a second or two early and far out of the way in no danger and trigger it.
