Autonomous Monster posted:Konjak was already sick of making it in 2012. Six years on, I imagine he's just about ready to lose his mind. A Switch port is... generous, I have to say. If a Switch and Bone port actually do happen it'll be farmed out to a company that has the devkits. Like you say, Konjak is sick of working on it.

I've been playing BOTW for about a week and I didn't realize how much I was benefiting from the motion aiming until I played a non-Switch game for the first time since December and tilted the PS4 controller like a dummy trying to get a headshot. I think I finally understand how PC gamers feel when they try to aim with sticks. Never would have thunk it but it seems there's actually something to motion aiming in non-gimmicky games. I wonder if there will be Switch versions of any big name FPS games that make good use of it. Switch rulez.

Odyssey is my favorite Mario game. It's too much fun, the music is good, I like exploring the worlds, and the movement options are great. I don't know how anyone can be grumpy about the game.

I think it drains the battery faster than my other games. Other than generally not being a kind of game I go wild about I don’t really have any other complaints.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Do people really think Odyssey is the worst Mario game? I can definitely understand liking, say, Galaxy or Galaxy 2 more than Odyssey. Or even liking something like 3D World more, if that's more your style of Mario game than the exploration-based ones. But no way is Odyssey the worst Mario.

- Mario 64: 100% - Mario Sunshine: Liked it enough to try and get 100% I can't remember if I did. - Mario Galaxy: Finished the story, didn't really care about Luigi so never even tried to get 100% - Mario Galaxy 2: Played a couple of levels and eh - Mario 3D Land: Finished the story, the hard worlds were too much for my hands and my 3ds. - Mario Oddisey: On my way to 100% Huh. I would have thought Mario Galaxy would have ranked better on my own list.

How is Salt and Sanctuary not on this yet? Or any of the Newgrounds games like Castle Crashers? They seem like no brainers, especially CC with the split Joycons and easy coop.

People want a game where you play as Zelda but quite frankly I think a more progressive idea would be a game were Link destroys Zelda's monoarchy and puts an end to feudalism.

I think everyone would agree that a game where you play a Bokoblin organizer building a movement that ends with Zelda and her dog Link being executed and a people's republic declared would be better, but that doesn't mean BotW isn't a lot of fun

I know it'll never happen but I'd pay an embarrassing amount of money for a direct sequel to BotW where you play as this incarnation of Zelda fully indulging in her gadgeteer interests. Give her all the BotW runes and then instead of a wide variety of weapons, give her a bunch of Shiekah tech gadgets that she uses to fight and solve puzzles. Maybe she can borrow the Master Sword from Link--after all, she is the one who can hear its voice.buffbus posted:It seems to vary in different Zelda games but in BotW she seems to be older than usual, maybe late 20s and quite a bit older than link which itself is a little creepy. She's explicitly 17. Well, 17-and-then-in-stasis-for-100-years.

XyrlocShammypants posted:Possession was a gimmick where their abilities were obvious and what you had to do with them was even more obvious. You capture a bullet bill because you can’t get across the area or need to break a wall. You take over a tank because you need to shoot something. You take over a fish to swim. It wasn’t really that creative. Frankly I think they only went like 25% far enough with the concept. Maybe taking possession of a tank also let’s you store their ability for limited use later or maybe you could capture them Pokémon style to deploy. I don’t know. I felt like the two things you did in odyssey was hat/backflip jump or possess very temporarily for obvious effect. The fact that you can win without ever jumping says a lot. In Super Mario Bros. you only ever go right. loving lazy uncreative garbage.

Darkest dungeons easiest difficulty is very good because while the combat remains almost the same as on normal it trims out a lot of the grinding, makes it easier to grind if you really want to, and doesn't really hurt the sense of accomplishment any. Like, the game is very fun so running C and D teams through to get resources to patch up your A and B teams isn't bad, but since getting that gold is inevitable given enough time, cutting down on that grind is good. (I realize that logic can be stretched to absurd extremes, don't @ me)

Functionally, possession is Odyssey's version of the classic power ups, so it isn't the wild and insane new feature I think some people act like it is. But it is something that goes further than power ups. For example, possessing a Fire Bro is similar to grabbing a fire flower, but with the difference that it also changes how you move and how your jump works (you even have a miniature double jump).XyrlocShammypants posted:The fact that you can win without ever jumping says a lot. No it doesn't, because it relies on a technicality. You can't beat the game without ever jumping, but you can beat it without incrementing Toadette's jump counter. You do this because bouncing off Cappy doesn't count as a jump, and neither does any jump you do while you're in a capture. The "no jump" runs feature a lot of jumping, just not any normal jumps. It also only counts getting the first ending. I don't think you could reach the Darker Side without ever using Mario's normal jump, and even if you could, you definitely couldn't finish it. And you 100% cannot get all of the moons without jumping because many of them require you not to use your hat, which means no captures and no Cappy bounces.
