. Holy poo poo I played the gently caress out of SC2 black in the day. I did not know this existed and now I want it very badly.

Yeah speaking of indie games I also really want to get Stardew Valley and Darkest Dungeon, two other games I also already own. I'd get BotW at some point for sure because Zelda is never not great. IDK why I'm not more interested in buying it first though.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:The only moon I had a lot of trouble with was one of the hatless ones where you have to run across falling bricks as bullet bills are shooting at you to trigger a giant bullet bill that you have to lead back to the beginning to blow open a wall. It took me literally 7 or 8 hours of trying one weekend to do it. Then a few hours later I found the version of the same challenge where you have Cappy and it was a lot easier, I'll tell you what. That one is easy once you know the trick to it; the blocks on the lower return path are spaced just far enough for a long-jump. Once you get started into a rhythm of long-jumps between each you can't fail.

He has Zelda and DB Xenoverse 2, but he's put most of his time into Skyrim. I'm actually considering selling my WiiU as well. I never invested heavilly in it's VC, and after Bayo and Smash drop there wont be anything on it I already have that's very remarkable. 3D World was good, but it might get a port eventually. Same with Mario Maker. XCX might get a port eventually, but I beat that game twice so idgaf. I guess I'll wait to see if Switch Smash is 4 or 5.

unless they port over xenoblade chronicles x and super mario maker im going to have to keep my wii u forever or at least until i can sell it as a classic for more than I originally purchased it for mario odyssey is cool but it didn't do it for me as much as it apparently did for a lot of people, everything before the challenge stuff after you beat the game was super easy and there aren't any koopa troopas in the whole game or shells I could kick at least that I've found yet and the hat gimmick left me somewhat unsatisfied.

Even with it being the "gimped version" I found it to be incredible. It's the only reason I haven't given my 3ds to my nephew.

DD is really tedious on my laptop (gets too hot, have to plug in the mouse, etc.), so it would probably still be better even with tiny text. I could limit it to just docked play anyway.

I've only put in 45 minutes on Darkest Dungeon this morning, but the controls do make a certain sort of sense once you get used to them, and they do appear to have visual icons for which button is needed to go to a certain area of the menu most of the time. Also yes, the font is very tiny on my sub-720p TV 8' away. Fortunately, as I've just discovered, my eyeballs can still be forced to work. Fitzy Fitz posted:I really want to get a Switch, but for some reason the game I'm most interested in is Skyrim which I've already invested a billion hours in on 360. I hadn't played much since launch but I had a better experience than I'd expected with Skyrim because it was on the Switch. Lacking a mouse made archery more fun because it was less trivial, to the point where my first dude used bows exclusively. Even at point blank. Also lacking a mouse's precision, I broke myself of the habit of picking up every goddamn thing, which is a good habit to be broken of. Skyrim's kinda silly in that it encourages you to do all these things that seem convenient but actually make the long-term experience worse. See: fast travel.

Nintendo seems to be in this new mode of trolling the weirdos that insist on getting 100% of a game. I mean, they put 900 Korok seeds in so that you'd find enough just walking around but if you get all of them, the game literally shits on you. Nintendo is the best company in the world.

Seconding. I made a stealth archery build for the first time on my Switch play through. Easily way more enjoyable than my ax wielding / sparks throwing Nord. Motion controls own for the bow. I never quite realized how boring combat can be in this game, but motion aiming the bow is novel enough.

The only way to play Skyrim and not go insane is to act like you're in a movie. Ride your horse everywhere or only fast travel via carriages. Don't hoard cheese wheels. etc Also I only pick up items that are worth at least 10x their weight. This is key. Otherwise it takes like 10 trips to fully clear a dungeon. I really want to replay my favorite build that mostly relied on illusions and 2-hand axes.

Do I sell weapons to blacksmiths and random food bits to inn keepers? The economy of the game always confused me.

Beastie posted:Question from an overall RPG noob: There are merchants in every city, and you just gotta figure out the optimal route and schedule for selling your stuff. I forget how often they replenish. Sell weapons/armor to a smith, and dump everything else at the general goods store (like Belethor in Whiterun). If you load up on loot again before the merchants have replenished their cash, go to the next city in your rotation and sell there. If this gets too tedious and you feel like you'd rather be out smashing trolls, then just go do that. There's always more loot. If you actually enjoy the looting/selling routine more than smashing trolls, then there's an entire skill tree (speech) that helps you get better deals and even increase merchant gold reserves. You can also do the thief guild quest line for similar perks.

Skyrim's economy is such a poo poo system of skinflints. Don't worry about getting the most from any one vendor. You can craft hundreds of iron daggers and poo poo far faster than the economy can purchase them. Just fast travel to cities with vendors close by, and empty the account of every fucker that'll buy from you. Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jan 23, 2018 |

Okay, my inventory has been piling up and I've got some stuff I should just shed. I've got dozens of lesser soul gems that will never get used. On my Xbox file I think I installed the cheat room and just maxed out my carry weight. I'm a hoarder when it comes to game items. It's part of the reason I can't focus in games like Borderlands. I just have an obsession with picking everything up because "I might need it"

I've put a handful of hours into BotW so far (first two villages after the plateau) and I'm just not enjoying it, but I keep hearing to stick with it and it will get better. Is there a point where I can confidently say that it's just not for me and be at peace for quitting? FWIW I don't like the combat, have been getting frustrated with my stuff breaking all the time, and I'm not really enjoying the environments. I was really looking forward to it, too, but I haven't played a modern Zelda game in a LOOOOOOONG time and I'm just not feeling it. The lack of direction is cool, but at least Dark Souls/Bloodborne give you some hint where to go. I think I'm waiting for a moment when I'll start to feel at least a little more powerful but I know I won't get any major new abilities, which is what's worrying me about my time in the game going forward.

As for the world, it's very much an "exploration is its own reward" game.

With no fast travel, especially, I really learned the locations of towns relative to each other and what roads and routes are best. You can still get pretty wealthy without compulsively filling up your inventory with junk and then selling it like some kind of junk trader (versus being a rogue/wizard/warrior).
