Motion controls were the least of that game's problems.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Motion controls were the least of that game's problems. They were probably my favorite thing about the game along with the dungeon design. The overworld is what made it one of the lesser Zelda games. I’d give it another try though if it got an HD remake. Zelda remakes have a great track record of fixing some of the worse parts of each respective game.

Bunch of random trailers for upcoming indie games on the Switch. There's one of the weirdest things I've seen, a racer-top-down-shooter hybrid based on Greek myth as told from a very different perspective, The Next Penelope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEuHqURV1yU And Innerspace, which looks really good as a sort of stoner game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwtFhU3swmM

Percentage is more or less useless too. Download speed and especially time left are glaring omissions. e: and download size too

Also my download speeds and speed tests are crazy low for my switch. I have 100mb internet but I’m lucky if my switch tests at more than 5. Also every game takes at least 45m to download.

Hi, this is from pages back, but I have An Opinion.Harrow posted:The only other real complaint I have about Breath of the Wild is something I'd also apply to Super Mario Odyssey: there are a ton of not-very-meaningful shrines (and, in Odyssey, moons). BotW has tons of samey shrines, or just Monk's Blessing shrines that just don't add anything other than a couple of loading screens between the player and a spirit orb. And Odyssey has loads of low-effort moons just lying all over the place. So Zelda and Mario are both rated E10 which means they are games for ten year olds and up. So you and I may be thirty-five years old and be able to get every last shrine or power moon but our ten year old sons/daughters/nieces/nephews and especially their younger brothers and sisters who still want to play a cool Nintendo game too probably aren't capable of 100% completing the game. But their experience with the game is just as valid as ours. You can't act like the game is made for You, the Gaming Adult when it is literally rated for "Everyone." Kids have just as much right to see the end of the game.

I’m fine with moons lying around in Odyssey since there’s so many but I agree with that point on shrines. Way too many of them were lame boring combat ones. One of my favorite DLC shrines was the one that you think was going to be another boring combat shrine and then right as you’re like “wow they loving did this again in the paid DLC?”, the floor opens up after killing the guardian.

No, that was my favorite shrine period too.

I'm having some of my friend's kids, 6 and 14, both boys, over in the next little while. Depending on the weather, they might be stuck inside with me. Any recommendations of co-op games that would be suitable for such an age range? Ideally something where the older one can still get stuff done, without requiring the younger one to be capable. E I already have Odyssey but would like other options.

I don’t really follow video game news or discussion outside of Nintendo, is the cycle of “This game sucks and is overrated/actually it’s amazing” a thing that happens for all games or is it unique to Zelda games?

The Lobster posted:Hi, this is from pages back, but I have An Opinion. The bolded sections he's taking about would be far better if not shrines though. Like imagine instead of going through two loading screens and four cutscenes for a monks blessing when you find a secret shrine, the monk was just there at the secret area you found along with a teleportation pad and you went through one cutscene and zero loading screens. Shrines that are essentially empty would be better as just part of the existing environment like the shrine of resurrection.

Some of the blessing shrines the puzzle is getting to them and the aesthetic is kept that it is a holy place yadda yadda.

Kids have just as much right to see the end of the game. I mean, that's pretty much what I was getting at in the paragraph after the part you bolded, isn't it? The abundance of things are there so that no matter what you do, you're rewarded and you can progress. But the natural consequence of that is that there have to be a ton of whatever little reward tokens, because there's a lot of game and all of it needs to be able to award them. Same reason nearly every action in a game like Assassin's Creed Origins gives experience points, just less granular. Harrow fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Jan 4, 2018 |

GoldfishStew posted:But what other than splatoon is good long distance mp edit: misunderstood, thought you were going back home or something. Hammerwatch is fun if you dig Gauntlet Legends. I cant speak to the switch version but I got some hours on the PC version and Mumble with friends and that was a good time. Double edit: Apparently the version of Hammerwatch on Switch doesnt have online implemented yet. So yeah..... Klisejo fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jan 4, 2018 |

Atlas Hugged posted:So if I really like turn based games is Steamworld Heist going to scratch that itch? I would say so. How does a side-scrolling XCOM where the gimmick is richocheting bullets like you're Revolver Ocelot sound to you? Lengthwise, I'd say it's about 25-30 hours to get everything, depending on how long you tend to agonize over your aim, I guess. Argue fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jan 4, 2018 |

I'd call Mario XCOM part-puzzle. Steamworld Heist, sure, I guess, if you're really stretching the definition. Aim your gun so that the bullet bounces at the right angle (and some guns fire arcing projectiles), and time the shot right, because everyone's arm shakes slightly, but visibly, so you won't always get the perfect shot if your timing is off.

It's really great game design that they tell you you need 20 shock arrows to get on to Divine beast ruhta, but they don't tell you that you need a bunch more regular arrows, so you can just completely run out in the middle and have to reload so you can go to town and buy arrows. I'm pretty sure almost every game since the 80's knew not to do poo poo like this, but not BOTW apparently. Ran into this bullshit both times I played it.
