I know the Skyrim that was just released for Switch I think has all the DLC and poo poo but is it also the version that still somehow allows you to mod despite being console based? I think there was stuff about drama surrounding paid mods, and being able to get your mods "officially recognized" and there would be a system to still patch them into the game even on console or something? But then there was other drama around that and I think they backed off or implemented it in a different way or something? They had Steam Workshop but were also going to implement their own "Bethesda Workshop" for like third party content or something? I never had all the details but is anything like that a real thing? I kinda wanna get it, because I actually never had a good enough computer to run it and ended up running it on my old 2008 era desktop that I built to play Oblivion (Skyrim still ran on it since it's the same engine, but I only could play it on ultra low settings with .ini tweaks at like 15-20 frames a second) but the mods thing is almost a dealbreaker for me. I'm like 50/50 on it.

Overcooked (eshop only) is great for multiplayer. Get 4 people and it immediately turns into everyone laughing as they yell over each other.

I have like NO time right now, but my Marseille mCable just showed up and I wanted to see a before and after. Not sure how well this quick bit of photos shows off the difference, but it's noticeable. 150 bucks noticeable? Each person will have to decide. I'll also test more games soon...

I kinda see the difference but I think that $150 would be better used towards a nice sharp 2017 monitor instead to replace my decent but not excellent 22' Asus that I use when docked but I spose that's specific to my case

And then through police reports and other codex-type stuff you learn he basically had gone off the deep end years before, kidnapping, torturing, and executing criminals in the States after his sister died. Dude is a violent psycho and they slow burn the reveal.

I really need to get around to playing Sleeping Dogs, goddamn.

Sleeping Dogs is great on multiple levels. It's a well-executed GTA open world game, the combat isn't perfect but is a fun take on Batman combat, and it's the only video game I can think of off the top of my head that has such a fleshed out and accurate depiction of Hong Kong. The voice acting is also great, with actual Hong Kong actors, and it's one of the few games that I've seen have people interrupt each other during conversations without doing that awkward "pause and wait for the other guy to say something" bit.

It's a great game, as 404notfound said it brings a lot of little things together very well. It is a little rough around the edges and the last act seems clearly rushed, but the story arc is solid with some great payoffs and it oozes with enough flavor to make up for it. It even beats out Vice City imo in terms of just feeling good to cruise around the city soaking in the atmosphere. The radio tunes are extremely catchy as well, I found myself getting a lot of those songs stuck in my head.

It’s a real shame Squenix didn’t actually make a legit sequel for it. It’s a really, really good game and is usually less than $10.

I liked how they handled it in Crackdown, where the game is set in a hosed up police state, and the police themselves even have a hit squad mechanic that works exactly the same as the gangs'.

The game is so good, just buggy as poo poo (at least on console, anyway). I have the “definitive edition” on PS4 and I can’t trigger the random open world event I need in order to get the trophy for that. The one thing keeping me from the plat, really.

I run out of time even with constant long jumps. Its not hard. A long jump gives you arms out fast run on landing which as long as you keep moving will continue even after regular jumps for a long distance. Long jump again when it runs out and restart. Its much faster than long jumping as soon as you land Also the first leg is doable in a roll Real hurthling! fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Nov 19, 2017 |

No its the one where you need to go down a gauntlet of launchers to get a key and come back. The launchers blow up the ground so theres no way back. You wont even remember it cause the first time through you cap a bill and fly to the end and back like its nothing. In the hatless version once you get the key the whole upper path is gone so you need to do 8 perfectly spaced long jumps in a row on tiny breakable platforms without stopping chased by a giant bill.

I guess I am six years late, but I am finally playing Skyrim on the Switch and it looks great on the small screen. I have only used my Switch in handheld mode and it makes gaming so much more enjoyable for me because I can put it down and resume with ease. I like my PS4, but at this point I will strongly consider getting multi-platform games on the Switch. I wish I had Witcher 3, GTA V, and Shadow of the Colossus on this thing.

That is a terrible image. No two ways about it. But honestly, I’m not sure how you market a product like this in still images on a simplified way. It’s a very subtle change.
