Never crashed on me but I thought there were some quirks to saving, like if you come back to town and manipulate your party or whatever and exit before starting the next quest your changes weren't actually saved. Got in the habit of saving immediately after starting or returning from a quest and never in between.

I picked up the Paladins Founder Pack and have been thoroughly enjoying it. I wish it crashed less, since it takes a while to load. I've crashed in the middle of an ongoing game 3-4 times now, only to have the game be over by the time it loads back in. Also, it has made me realize how painful it is to play an FPS with any sort of skill with the joycons. I can barely hit poo poo. Fortunately for me, nobody else on my team can either.

fwiw I had the experience of getting dunked on a lot in the Splatoon 2 demo but once the full game came out it was a lot more manageable since matchmaking quickly sectioned off the people who had a ton of hours/experience in the original. I imagine it will be similar with Mario Tennis.

Silver Falcon posted:AM2R is a truly excellent game and an example of what fan remakes, and fan games in general, should strive for. It was my first exposure to Metroid 2 and remains my only exposure to it. I have not gotten around to play Samus Returns yet, though I d have it. The game doesn't have power bombs, and as you said, you don't really switch between weapons outside of going between your beam and missiles, which is mapped to select and works fine. The bigger point is that the game's not really designed around the things you're worried about. You can't switch beams without backtracking, true, but you also basically never need to because each beam is tailored to the environment in which you get it. There's no map, but the game world is also significantly more linear and segmented than other Metroid games to compensate (and Metroid II also has significantly more landmarks than the original did, which also makes navigation a lot easier). Don't get me wrong, it's still ancient and can take some time to get used to, but it's not just Super Metroid But Older And Inferior. Metroid II is built around its limitations intelligently.

repiv posted:Hell yeah, INSIDE is fantastic. Hopefully they can manage 60fps on Switch. The ending (by that I mean the last part, not the actual ending scene) to that game was pure art, imo. I don't know if I ever experienced such a big WTF?! moment in a game, and couldn't even really think about it too much because I had to handle it immidiatelly. Stuff like Bioshock etc. comes to mind, but imo not as perfect as what happens in INSIDE, because it catches you completely off-guard. tl;dr: I guess I'll buy it again for the switch simply because it's awesome and the switch is the console I use most.

Scrub level cross tag player here! If anyone else is scrub level and wants to have some fun and consistent matches, add me as a friend! SW-1933-1415-0904. I'm on EST time, and this is probably my first fighting game since GG X2 on PS2, but so far I'm loving it!

Yeah from what they showed at E3 it is definitely at least five worlds (one for each of the Infinity Stones?) and there is an inventory and leveling system. I didn't play this golden age of Tennis game that everyone is comparing it to but it sounds pretty robust

Austin Walker said that that the leveling system is a +1 to a random stat each time you level. Which definitely makes the mechanic sound a bit more cosmetic than anything else.

Thanks for the Darkest Dungeon description. It sounds like there’s a constant progression regardless of dungeon success which is nice. I don’t like punishing games that don’t have some kind of forward momentum. But then I heard there’s a timer. I don’t like timers in non sports games ever. Is there a way to not play with that?

Having something new making headlines helps sell systems, no doubt Smash will do just that, but I can see why people are feeling cool after we just had a year where we got a Zelda and a Mario. I'm a bit cynical towards the doom and gloom, but it is a bit of a bummer Nintnedo doesn't anything more for the near term outside of Smash that particularly interests me.

The timer is only on the hardest difficulty. Don't play that one. I suggest playing on the easiest difficulty because it doesn't change much of the actual dungeon crawling and just has some tweaks to make the overall game progress go a bit faster.

Edit ^^^^^^^^^^^ Also be aware of DD's control scheme which is just awful in every way and baffling that developers thought "this is a good way to play". Don't let it turn you off if you are really interested but something to factor in.

I've seen the control scheme sentiment a lot, and I don't really understand it. Maybe because Switch is the only way I ever played DD, but it just kinda clicks for me.

I've crashed in the middle of an ongoing game 3-4 times now, only to have the game be over by the time it loads back in. I really like paladins as well, and in playing it, my counter to my bad aim is to play as the little gremlin guy who rides in the mech (basically DVA from Overwatch). The mechs guns have a small windup time, so I aim in the general direction as I pull the trigger to start the windup, then during the windup I fine tune my aim, hopefully with the target in the crosshairs as the gun hits full throttle. Works well so far, and I’ll say it again to the thread. If you like Overwatch and wish it was on Switch, check out paladins.

do not enable the Crimson Court DLC until MUCH later. If you turn it on in your first run of the game or even early in your playthrough, it can and will gently caress you up. Also to add to the "optimal characters" opinion: I honestly think all the characters are Good and Viable in a multitude of formations. except for the Jester who is a loving waste. Thom P. Tiers posted:But the fall and winter line up is going to sell the switch like crazy because Smash, Mario Party, and Pokemon Yeah exactly. The topseller list of games on Amazon has been Pokemon Go forever and now Smash as No.1. Anyone thinking Nintendo is gonna have a pitiful holiday is insane because that poo poo is going to make bank the same way Mario/Zelda did.

I have some Hollow Knight questions but I don't want to find a dedicated thread for fear of spoilers. I think I'm over halfway through the game but I know I'm missing at least one movement ability double jump. 1) Is there a charm that helps with healing, specifically in mid-air? I've been banging my head again the last match in the coliseum and the farthest I got involves a lot of fighting in the air. I only got there once, so maybe I can just power through, but if there's something I'm missing that I should get and come back I might just do that. I have the third nail upgrade and am using the Nailmaster, Thorns, Quick Charge, and the charm that increases Soul gained from attacks. With 7 hearts and two extra Soul containers 2) The Switch version includes all the DLC, right? How is that accessed? 3) Have I missed the pass for the tramways? Extra details: I've killed one dreamer, the one in Deepnest, and have the Crystal Heart so I'm pretty sure I can get to the one in the Fog area. Not sure yet how to get to the scholar in the "tower overlooking the city" but I bet I need the double jump first. Really, really liking the game but I've spent maybe an hour in the coliseum. I just need a push to tell me if the climb is worth the effort or if I should come back.
