One thing that's kinda neat with BotW and the Master Sword is how your beam attack range apparently increases based on your max hearts though I never really use the move because that means not dodging something and then tapping in to the speed force to counter combo it.  DACK FAYDEN posted:That's not Wal-Mart, though. It's a third party seller via their website. I hate this so much. It made checking Walmart stores for Switch stock impossible because you'd keep getting pages for 'in stock' resellers. Kashuno posted:same but Majora's Mask This a million times. Majora's mask isn't a great game. It's not even a great Legend of Zelda game. Tender Bender posted:I see people saying this a lot, do you realize that the sledgehammer does massive damage to their ore weak spot? Or do you mean they still take too long? They take too long or just get a bit tedious, especially the ice ones. I haven't bothered fighting them since after I cleared the Gerudo DB so the move from that probably trivializes them like everything else.

Baby park is a fun map but it's not good. No ramps to fly off of, can't fall off map, nothing to get stuck on. 300cc SNES Rainbow Road on the other hand...

My son just came up with a Mario Kart course. It's a hot dog. And it is straight, there are no curves or loops. And the only way to win is to figure out how to get out of the hot dog.

Meridian posted:I lost my entire day to Minecraft yesterday. Anybody else pick it up? I could use some advice on spicing up my fort's exits and it would be more fun to have someone wander around my world than post screenshots. I have a pretty good setup at spawn so feel free to join, multiplayer makes the game way more fun Minecraft on the Switch is currently a little disappointing, don't get me wrong it's the best portable version of the game and overall it's fine and playable. But when docked it's still only 720p and the framerate fluctuates quite a bit. Also I've had the game crash a couple times.. No doubt the game will receive several updates throughout the future so hopefully these issues will be addressed

Somebody brought up escalating difficulty in a Zelda game and I think there's a lot to this. For a very long time, maybe even since the begining, difficulty in The Legend of Zelda de-escalates as the game progresses. At least in terms of survival. You gain hearts and items that allow you to shrug off enemies that had to have some measure of caution taken. This is part of the central theme of TLoZ: environmental mastery through exploration. The world and it's dangers get less threatening as you play. The previous games dealt with this by upping the challenge in the puzzles found in dungeons. This is, in my opinion, one of the things that Breath of the Wild struggles with. Don't get me wrong, I think it's an absolute masterpiece of design, and I love it dearly. It has quickly supplanted Twilight Princess as my favorite game in the franchise. However, I think that due to the open air nature of the game, they opted to back away from really escalating the challenges of the shrines. This just leaves the challenge of the overworld. Breath of the Wild is extremely, rewardingly difficult early on, but the Link Immortality Singularity is still there. Granted, it comes much later than in previous games, and can be delayed by turning off the boons your dead friends give you, but it is still there. What I want to see in future Zeldos is the same vast, amazing world to explore (give me the Twilight Realm, or Termina please), but with vast complex dungeons that may require multiple trips before I'm able to complete them. Make each dungeon its own, vast, haunted ecosystem of mounting dread as you plumb its depths. But also yeah, add DK Mountain to MK8.

Except instead of haunted you have kikwis. And instead of dread you get... pretty colors?

.TakaM posted:I've been playing Minecraft on the Switch, please add my friend code if I don't already have yours: 3755 - 9383 - 6891 Its hard to improve the performance when Minecraft's core engine is just so sloppy. Looking through the codebase its super obvious it was a one-man organic project that grew over years and not something a skilled team put together. Ports have probably re-written some of that to improve things, but I doubt a lot of the major stuff like how the game handles chunks would be altered, and that stuff is pretty bloated.

The devs said the reason it's 720p when also docked is because they can't figure out how to smoothly change the resolution between docked and undocked. It's not because of the Switch's power according to them.

I think Shovel Knight had the same issue when it first released on the Switch, so they should figure it out eventually

It's great that the Switch is getting a lot of indie ports, buy part of the problem with indie ports is that they're usually done by small teams who don't have a whole lot of time for optimization. They're concerned with getting it to work as well as they can in the two-three months they have to get it out the door. Factor in poor code bases and unfamiliar hardware and you end up with replicable slowdown issues in Binding of Issac and Minecraft. As the hardware matures and more games are made and release with the Switch in mind, these issues will become less frequent. Plus, previously released games may even recieve updates fixing them (I fully expect the first booster pack for BoI to fix the toxic shock and corner snapping spider bugs, since those should both be quite easy tweaks). Minecraft will probably not get any huge fixes, though. Personally I'm just extremely happy to have versions of games I love on portable hardware, and that can be played with what is now my favorite controller of all time (sorry, Steam Controller, as flexible and ergonomic as you are, you'll never beat reclining with split joycons).

That one is $35, but the USB PD version that will charge you faster/give you more charge faster during a game is like $65. I'm super happy with the USB A version, and I gain some battery while playing Zelda.
