I bought a dumb Switch even though I beat BOTW on Wii U because I'm a stupid baby with a lot of disposable income. Mario Kart rules. I'm probably gonna get Tetris. I don't understand how Binding of Isaac is $40.

yeah, when you add up the base game and expansions on steam it adds up to about $35 so $40 is a fair price for physical

Did you trade in MK8 for Wii U for $25? Total cost of MK8D, $13.

BotW is fantastic but much like Link Between Worlds I feel the way they implemented the nonlinearity has its pros and cons and other games can deliver a good experience by not going as far in that direction.

yeah like, the non-linear design was great, but zelda already wasn't known for having really strong story and it was even weaker in botw because the fact that it treats every area as if it's possibly your first means there's no real plot advancement and no characters get developed outside of zelda in the memories you find. in the future they should look for a better way of weaving narrative into the open world design.

also bring back themed dungeons

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.
I wonder at which point during development they realized that simply giving the player an interesting world to explore without hand-holding or dumb map icons already made BOTW the best sandbox ever created. It's kind of funny.

Oh wonderful, my left joycon isn't detected when it's physically connected to the Switch. If it's not connected it works fine. Slide it on the rails? Not detected. Even though the side of the screen goes blue. :smith:

Try taking both joycons out and resyincing them. I thought I had the same problem, turns out my left joycon was working just fine. It was the right joycon that wasn't quite docked all the way. So when the left joycon was docked, it was not connected because it was waiting for the right joycon to dock.

Hope that makes sense...

yeah, this one. i had to order a replacement because i somehow hosed up both applications the first time but the next time i tried it went smoothly, its barely noticable and has protected my switch very well. a+ customer service too, they sent me the replacement no questions asked.

Its different. Zelda found the key to making exploring work for explorings sake. It was almost apathetic to the player. Seeing a widget on the map does not make me WANT to go get it. It makes me Tell I SHOULD go get it. Its hard to explain but that "what's over the next rise" feeling isnt in anything else. Sure as he'll not Horizon. Which I loved other then the open world bullshit.

The more I think about it the more genius Breath is. Explore, or not, until you feel ready to take on the boss. Have fun.

I really like the glass screen protector because it makes the screen look nice and shiny and it is smooth to the touch. When I got my switch back from Nintendo, the plastic screen felt like garbage and looked weird.

The glass screen also has way better picture clarity than the plastic hori one and doesn't scratch if you look at it funny. I suggest not playing docked immediately after applying it though because I had the corner come loose, but after I set it aside all night it's stayed down ever since.

Also the plastic hori one after a long 6 or 8 hour marathon session of zelda started peeling and letting dust in under the cover around the corners. The amazon one is highly reviewed and recommended for good reason, and they even send you a second one in case you gently caress up or it gets scratched to hell.

Yeah I think I've recommended the amFilm glass protector a few times in this thread. It's fantastic so far because it does the three things it needs to do; be crystal clear, not scratch, and not peel away. It looks a tad bit bulky when it's installed but gently caress all who cares.

Finally played MK8D tonight on the big screen. Looks nice and the HD rumble on the Pro Controller is amazing. Can't believe some reddit dudes were stating they feel no difference. Maybe the HD rumble on the joycon isn't as good.

Eh if you place it well I think it looks pretty good, but that's mostly my personal taste. I think anyone without a screen protector for this system is crazy though, especially since the clam shell protection is gone.

I didn't notice the rumble at all mostly because I never played mk8 on wii u, but it was fun.

I bought the glass one. But my hori one refuses to listen to goons and won't peel or scratch or fail to be awesome in any way. So I havent had reason to put my glass one on yet.

I typically hate screen protectors, I don't use them on my phone or tablet. That said, that tempered one is perfect and scale improves the feel of the device. I've had it on for two weeks and I completely forget it's there.

You guys are tempting me to get that protector. Does it effect the image quality at all? I've never seen a screen protector, for phones at least, that didn't make the screen look worse.

The hori one dulls the picture ever so slightly. I can't notice any difference with the glass one although it makes it far more reflective too. It also feels better for touch games and cleans easier.

I've owned both and had the glass one for four days now.
