Get Mercenaries Saga Chronicles. It's basically FFT-light and is relatively cheap. There's a ton of content for being a port of a mobile game so it should keep you busy.

It is a cheating hellscape considering how Dark Souls 1 and 2 ended up.

I've met cheaters like three times after playing Splatoon for hundreds of hours. Never met any in Smash or Mario Kart.

Laggers are a more rampant cause of issues tbh, if anything they should be banned or segregated into a ghetto so they can play with other shitters on horrible uplinks

I remember going in the Smash Bros replay channel thing and someone had uploaded a video called "Hacker. Shameful" or something

The fight was against a Greninja and he used his side-b a couple times which makes him teleport. Clearly the player had no idea he's supposed to disappear like that and suicided twice. Can't be playing against opponents that use legal moves! !!!

Is there a chance of seeing a goty edition of Zelda? I'm wondering if I should just play some other games and wait, or just pick up a copy right now.

Some more insights over how Gal Metal works from the perspective of the producer himself, Tak Fujii.

4Gamer posted:

(talk of why Gal Metal doesn't have notes flying all over the screen)

4Gamer: Wouldn’t the game be very easy then?

Tak Fujii, producer: “That’s not it, it’s that the entire line of thinking on what is being tested is different from other rhythm games. In rhythm games, a lot of the time you ‘follow the map and input the key on time, or else you lose points’, but Gal Metal looks for the musical elements. It’s something like a classical musical competition in real life.”

4Gamer: Like a classical musical competition, you say?

Fujii: “For example, in a piano competition, playing all the notes correctly is taken for granted. People start with 100 marks, and from then on are judged based on their approach, their pauses, and other artistic elements. Gal Metal is a game that tries to bring that sort of thinking as a game.

As I mentioned earlier, we focused on letting players ad-lib and follow the flow, letting players upload their videos, maybe gain some laughs… Things that make a player feel proud of their performance.”

4Gamer: So even if you don’t score well, you still have fun.

Fujii: “Yes. If you just want to get the score, there are ‘HOT’ phrases throughout the session, that you can drum to get a higher score. But this game is about understanding the song, then drumming to your own interpretation.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1x3Lp2KcrQ

“I may have exaggerated my playing for the camera. (laughs) But really, drum as you like. The difference in scoring represents the basics of drumming, so as you look for a way to raise the score, you naturally start to understand the drums. After you become able to clear it, try breaking away from the performance, and finding a cooler arrangement for yourself.”

If your wife is a square, sure.

Its a super fun game, but there's some casual near nudity involved in combo enders and super moves for a stupid in-game rationalisation not worth going over. And even without that, the main character in Bayonetta looks like Bayonetta. Basically if you think your wife is gonna roll her eyes, yeah probably.

Relatedly, my wife is a fan of the game and still said "Oh, come on" when she saw the Princess Peach costume on the Wii U version so maybe never use that.

She does that anime villainess "Ho ho ho hoooo" laugh sometimes, not really much moaning. Except the opening cutscene where she kind of orgasms as she gets an angel to cut off her dress.

Also yeah don't use the princes peach costume when you can use princess Daisy costume

The Nintendo Switch is PERFECT for when you’re worried video game titties are going to embarrass you in front of your wife. You just Switch (click) to handheld mode and go off to another room to masturbate play your Switch.

My buddy visited this weekend and he brought his Switch so we could play Puyo and Rocket League. It was really slick to drop his Switch into the dock at my house. Connecting my joycons and Pro to his Switch and back to mine was a painless experience. RL even saved my controller settings to the account I made on his Switch.

It was a straight forward experience and it was awesome. It felt like being in grade school and and taking SNES carts and later memory cards to friends.

I can confirm it is embarrassing to play near your wife. However, you can undock now it at least

This last december I had to take some paid leave and sit at home before it expired. A group of like 6 of us got really into sitting in the same room and playing Splatoon 2 all day and slotting in switches to see each other's zelda saves and stuff. It's a really social system
