Kvlt! posted:I really want to play Doom but I can't justify spending $60 on what I hear is a ten-hour campaign. How's the multiplayer? it's indeed expensive on switch compared to other platforms but it's easily the best FPS single player campaign to come out in the last decade. it's worth playing even if you don't do it on the switch

Kvlt! posted:I really want to play Doom but I can't justify spending $60 on what I hear is a ten-hour campaign. How's the multiplayer? I promise I felt the same way. I got it used at GameStop so you might get lucky. But i promise it's worth what ever you get it for. There's a small but it seems dedicated multiplayer group. They populate the team and deathmatch lists. Got close to full games. The game is just a joy to play, I kind of like the multiplayer more for really feeding the need to rip and tear without having to navigate a story. Single player is just starting to pick up, just got the assault rifle, but with more multiplayer time than single, I'll say it'll be awhile before I finish it. This is all predicated on you liking gyro aiming, as if you're playing with sticks, I imagine it's not nearly as fluid or fun. Get this game.

The more I see of Trailblazers the more hype I get. It's got such a good hook and the design is rad. Also the Fortnite port is real.

Wikipedia Brown posted:I’m not a Zero Gunner expert, but I think “poorly done” is a harsh way to describe it. It’s definitely got a bunch of weird differences, but it plays pretty drat well. Mister Facetious posted:I really wish the R-Type series would get to the Switch already. https://www.neogeokult.com/versus-us/pulstar-vs-r-type-us/ There's also Blazing Star, which is apparently a spiritual sequel to Pulstar. Speaking of big name horizontal shmup series', I want Gradius V and Darius Burst AC EX. Zarlog posted:Are there any other games with multiplayer like Kirby? I'd like to play some different games with my three year old, but it needs to be something where I can just drag her along and not be stuck forever because she's not getting a certain mechanic Course it's like Celeste, short rooms/checkpoints, but you die a lot. So I guess partially depends if they care about dying or just...moving around a guy on screen. Von Linus posted:Thanks for this dude. I was wondering if Psikyo games were any good or if they were niche. I haven't played many shmups since Raiden 1 and the like. I don't really think I can handle bullet hell stuff, I borrowed Ikaruga from a friend on the Gamecube and tried it once, it was too much.

The Kins posted:2DSes are really cheap, take a beating that their parents phones can't, and have games kids are really into like Pokemon. It's not a huge surprise that that family of consoles is still doing well, though it is kind of eyebrow raising that Nintendo are still putting resources into first-party titles for it. It's cheaper than developing Switch games, has a massive install base, keeps their developers in practice and still has a virtual console and other platforms for digital releases that the Switch has yet to take full advantage of/reveal its own equivalent of. (and I have a feeling people may want an alternative to NESflix or whatever when it comes out) Nintendo may be one of the last game publishers to remember that a developer as a cohesive team who know each other and know how to work together is a valuable asset. I remember some time ago with some people looking at the credits of Mario 64, and were shocked that most of the people listed in them still worked at Nintendo (and most of the ones who didn't had died). Says something given the rest of the industry is infamous for routinely scattering developers of acclaimed games to the winds on inexplicable corporate whims.

Macaluso posted:Didn't they say it was gonna be something like 10 bucks A YEAR or something ridiculously cheap like that? If they say "the online service also include full access to the Pokemon Bank system" that'll hook a few (million) more people to the system.

While it's way too limited people still made some really cool stuff. poo poo like tower defense and dating sims. Nintendo were probably deathly afraid of the potential of using it to hack the console which is probably also why Skyrim is gimped.

I bought Korg Gadget. It’s good, even without the sampler gadgets you get on the iPhone/iPad version. There’s a lot to tinker with and the workflow is easy enough to just mess around and end up with something promising. The big downside, of course, is how limited you are in getting things off your Switch. There’s no uploading to Korg’s cloud or Soundcloud (it’s possible that this could be added later, but I’ve not heard anywhere that that is planned), and no midi export, which is a bit weird, given that the 3DS Korg apps had it. The only audio out options seem to be recording via the headphone socket, or if you know someone else with a Switch and Gadget, you can send songs to them. Data exchange they call it. I’ve not tried it to see if you can go between Switch and iOS yet, I expect not. Overall, I really like it, but I can see how it’s already niche appeal may be further limited by the lack of audio out options at the moment.
