Engine tuning is a thing. It was a pain in the rear end and about when I stopped playing but there is more game after that.
How the gently caress does this guy remember exactly what size each of those bolts are but can't figure out that he's trying to stuff the parts in backwards?

Zelda Between Worlds is fantastic, as is Super Mario 3D Land. Mario Kart 7 is pretty great too. If you like strategy games, the first Fire Emblem game isn't too bad, there's a Ghost Recon game that is decent as well.

If you never played the N64 Zelda games (and even if you did I'd recomend both), both got remasters on the 3DS and are really great as well.

Oh and Mario Golf is pretty fun too.

I got A Link Between Worlds. It's fun! Didn't realize how similar it was to A Link to the Past. I'm vaguely familiar with Majora's Mask on N64 so I'll probably get that next.

Edit: feels weird to download Nintendo games. I'm so used to them sticking to cartridges.

I doubt it's ever getting "fixed", it's how the game works. It's an rpg. (Haven't played since beginning of year, don't actually know wtf I'm talking about)

Ehhh they can be, but if you get a gun with the trait that does damage to elites (the yellow health bar enemies) and some gear that does enemy armor damage, you can chew them up pretty fast. Especially if you run the gear set that gives you damage stacks for each hit on targets. It's still a bit of a problem, but the updates have given you more tools to solve it than there were before.

can you create a separate save file that begins the game after the intro? or better yet right before you have to make a choice?

Yea I was hitting x to skip too. The developers are bastards.

And then the execution scene just a little after that was awful too. I don't think a game has made me recoil away like that. Let alone twice in roughly 10 minutes.

You have an almost limitless number of tactical options. Pretty much anything outside disguises or dialogue options. Distract guards with porn mags, make guys not check the porta potty you're hiding in by playing an audio tape of taking a massive poo poo, taking out generators and annoying guys with a water pistol, rocket punching people, teleporting people into melee range, dropping armored vehicles onto people, and many others.

This Division update added these dudes to the underground mode:

http://thedivision.wikia.com/wiki/Hunter

And they spawn at a rate of +1 party size. So if it's just you, there's two hunters. They've got all kinds of tools and poo poo, super aggressive AI, and have a one hit kill melee attack.

This is a good addition honestly, spices things up a bit and they can drop top tier loot. I puttered aorund the dark zone a little bit as well, and clearing out purple areas on the map gives you 1k dark zone dollarydoos (this might as well be one tenth of a penny lmao), a handful of XP, and loot that you don't need to extract so that's nice. Still got ganked by some rogue boners, though :argh:

The underground expansion is cool, apparently survival is neat and atmospheric as hell but I've not played it, and the last one is just PvP modes. If that's your thing, go for it.

Also changing the in game dialogue to Japanese is hilarious :haw:

tl;dr The system they patented gathers telemetry about players and uses it to deliberately skew matchmaking in ways that will push them to buy microtransactions. For example by forcing them to fight much better players who own gear the telemetry indicates they want; and then matchmaking them into games with much worse players on the other team after they actually buy something, so they feel good about the microtransaction and are encouraged to pay more.

Just be careful around septic tank hatches, if you fall in it's an insta-death

Also I lost my fireworks off the boat; I checked the dump but there's nothing there (I took the couch a long time ago). What gives?

It can take a few days, just wait. If it fell into an area that doesn't insta-kill you then you may want to wade in and get them.

Edit: they pushed the level required for some Prestige end-game stuff up higher than the level cap available for vanilla Destiny 2. You have to buy the expansion just so you can unlock a higher level cap and play a harder version of those game modes.

Yeah the crates in Shadow of War were basically time savers if you couldn't sit down and farm orcs for your fortresses. Plus it was fairly easy to get in game ork coins or whatever to buy a crate off and on, or just get rewarded with one.
