The Switch can't handle Dark Souls 3, so Dark Souls Trilogy is out of the question.

Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
Do you not understand dev cycles though? They're can't just poo poo out a quality port of all 3 games with the snap of a finger...

Meanwhile there are already fully completed versions of all 3 games on the consoles for which this trilogy was announced. They're repackaging pre existing software

DS2 and DS3 for switch simply don't exist at this point in time, it'll take some time (assuming it ever happens for DS3). Hell, they're still scrambling just to finish DS1.

It's weird, I'm seeing people expressing outrage on Reddit making that same "this is Mass effect for Wiiu all over again" comparison that you made.

E: if they do get around to porting the other two games, they are certainly going to want to sell them piecemeal to make $$$ and recoup the huge costs of porting each game to a fresh architecture

Is there a general consensus on which are the best screen protectors? And what's the best thing to clean the screen with to get any oil/dust/whatever off of it before applying the protector? Is plain water and a microfiber cloth safe?

That PDP one is great that everyone links. I was strongly in camp that protectors suck but having a glass one on the switch is great and I'm glad I did it.

Pretty sure it comes with an alcohol pad and cloth to clean the screen with before you apply it.

Ah that's a shame but if it's a limitation of unity on switch there isn't much they can do.

Nintendo is not going to give us an Animal Crossing for Switch, and this will likely not come out in English. What a cruel hell we live in (unless you know Japanese then you're good).

pretty much every current gen console game runs with vsync enabled since the current (and correct) consensus is that consistency of input response is better than chasing meaningless numbers

Look on the bright side.



I don’t see why people are mad about DS Trilogy. It’s not like they remade 2 and 3, they’re just releasing a package set of them with Remastered 1.

Besides, Dark Souls 1 is the only good one.:smug:

Dark Souls 3 was better in almost every way tho.

Honestly I never really got why 1 took off other than the "it's hard" tagline. The second half of that game once you get past Anor Londo is just a big unfun slog where the quality takes a monster dive and never recovers.

Is Dark Souls 3 'done' in the sense that there's not a Prepare to Die / Scholar of the First Sin edition waiting in the wings?

It already exists. "The Fire Fades Edition" comes with both DS3 DLC packs, and it's a current-gen title that already looks great and is patched to run better on PS4 Pro, so no need for a remaster.

This Dark Souls trilogy pack is kinda a low effort offering since it more than likely comes with Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 2 SoTFS (remastered,) and Dark Souls 3 The Fire Fades Edition. All three are already completed for XB1 and PS4, but since they'd have to re-remaster DS2 & DS3 for Switch, I don't see it happening.

Dark Souls 1 has the best atmosphere and most love put into it compared to other games.

Dark Souls 2 was atrocious.

Dark Souls 3 was great, but was missing some charm in some areas.

Also, the openness of Dark Souls 1 is missing from subsequent entries.

Note that only applies to the first half of 1. The back half is really bad and clearly unfinished.

And if the memory is less than like 3 GB's or something. Then yeah I'd get it. Speaking of Space, if I archive my Skyrim save, then I can just delete the game and re-download it if necessary and not have lost any progress? Because that thing is stupidly large.

would ds2 have enough interest to justify a switch port do you think?

Hopefully this means the only trilogy that matters will get to the Switch. The Spyro trilogy.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Question- I bought a Switch yesterday, is it normal for there to be some very faint/sparse flickering on the console's screen? My 3DSxl does almost the exact same thing, so I'm wondering whether this is something that is common in Nintendo products, or if I should return it for an exchange. Its only really noticeable on large swathes of solid color, and only happens like twice a minute or so.

Probably not happening. Especially not if they do a physical version.

A quick check tells me the "Full Package" version with all the DLC is a little over an 8gb download on PC (at least on GOG) so it'll probably hover somewhere around that margin.

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

Ok so I'm kinda stuck in Okami, I have no idea where I'm supposed to go.

I went to all the spots in Shinshu Field, got the cherry bombs/went to the Moon Cave/went to the Dojo/found the way to the Forest. I went back to Sakuya's tree, but Sakuya isn't answering. I spoke with Mr. Orange, and he won't do the dance until all the trees are restored. The guy in the village says there are 15 more trees which need to bloom, but I have no idea where they are. There's nothing else to do in Hana Valley as far as I can see, I can't go to the Forest because the ferry isn't running (I'm assuming that's gated until after I do this?), are the 15 other trees in Shinshu Field? Do I need to finish killing the mischief makers?
