Pablo Nergigante posted:Is it okay to pretty much never turn off the Switch and just put it in sleep mode when I put it back in the dock. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past week and a half since I got it. It took me like 15 minutes to figure out how to even actually turn it off. I think it being forever in sleep mode is what is intended.

What are people playing on Switch? I've finshed Zelda, Mario Odyssey, Steam World Dig 2 and have played Dead Cells and Mario Kart to death. I'd kill for something close to having the same sense of adventure as Zelda. (No animu bullshit pls) I've managed to avoid playing Skyrim up till now, but it's looking like the best option. Yonder maybe?

Dead Cells, Cave Story+, Hollow Knight, and Puyo Puyo Tetris are all in my current rotation.

Mostly Gungeon, might knock out a level of Mario x Rabbids, maybe a map of Hyrule Warriors... but mostly Gungeon.

I have enough Amazon credit to get a game. I've narrowed it down to Shantae, Sonic Mania or Owlboy. Is the Switch port of Owlboy any good? I never played the PC but I've always wanted to. I've heard it's somewhere between "pretty good" and "alright"

Just embrace Full Anime and get Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It's got an awesome sense of scale and it's great running around the huge maps discovering secret areas and level 99 megabosses that wipe your party in 5 seconds -- it's a wonderful exploration game edit: when you face God on Judgement Day do you want it to be written in the Book Of Life that you succumbed to anime or that you succumbed to Skyrim? goferchan fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Aug 22, 2018 |

I had never heard of Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles until this thread. Looking into it and the game looks cool! Very pretty and from what I'm reading, an intentionally relaxing adventure game. Very different from Zelda where everything wants to kill you.

I never played the PC but I've always wanted to. I've heard it's somewhere between "pretty good" and "alright" Owlboy is a resounding meh. There's a lot of loving craft into the aesthetics, but the actual gameplay is boring, impactless combat and puzzles and exploration that never really advance past First Zelda Dungeon. It's not a bad game but it's just so much vanilla gruel jazzed up with really pretty sparkles. psylent posted:What are people playing on Switch?

KingSlime posted:Except it won't because you see, people really like buying games for the switch regardless It's just really fun to play, which might help.

I'd imagine digital helps even more, as it pretty much turns any portable console into an iPod for videogames Huh it's been a while since I've typed out the word 'iPod'

I never played the PC but I've always wanted to. I've heard it's somewhere between "pretty good" and "alright" The only things that are Pretty Good in Owl Boy are the art direction and soundtrack. I bought the game at launch and went in feeling very impressed by the first couple hours but it never delivers any real high points. The level design is kind of boring and the story I feel tries so hard to feel like a PS1 or SNES era classic that it ends up emulating the stilted aspect of old game writing. A game that knows what charm is but can't actually pull it off.

I said come in! posted:I had never heard of Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles until this thread. Looking into it and the game looks cool! Very pretty and from what I'm reading, an intentionally relaxing adventure game. Very different from Zelda where everything wants to kill you. Trust me from someone who has played it: it's bad. It's like if BotW, Animal Crossing, and Harvest Moon had a baby and then that baby had (some non-offensive way of describing that baby as defective). For one thing it's super short - I played it for only two hours and the completion percentage on my file was over 50%. But for another it just doesn't do what those other games do well. It's hard to describe. I thought that style of game was a total lock for something I would enjoy and I just HATED it. And Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Harvest Moon (and Stardew and Story of Seasons) are three of my favorite series of all time. Just. Game bad. Game VERY bad. Don't waste your money. I think Yonder might be my #1 worst experience on the Switch.

psylent posted:What are people playing on Switch? I've finshed Zelda, Mario Odyssey, Steam World Dig 2 and have played Dead Cells and Mario Kart to death. West of Loathing is an RPG that has a lot of freedom to explore. There's a lot of sites to discover, and new things to see at the various locations. There's a definite focus on humor, which you may or may not enjoy. I just started Blossom Tales, after buying it on sale from the eshop. Seems like a pretty good game similar to Link to the Past or Link's Awakening, if that's what you're looking for. Some other games I really liked on Switch: Crypt of the Necrodancer, Mario + Rabbids, and Gungeon.

Hollow Knight 100% sounds up your alley Gungeon is fun but it's more arcade than adventure Octopath is all exploring and almost 0 story. If you like RPGs it's good.

Question about a few games on sale. The Flame in Flood looks pretty good Y/N? Neo ATLAS 1469 I wanted to pick this up but not for 49.99 has anyone played the switch version? Its on sale for 24.99. EARTHLOCK looks interesting. Anyone have any strong opinions on these?

Owlboy is not only dissapointing in terms of its game structure and gameplay mechanics resulting in a short, claustrophobic experience where despite the main gimmick you never feel free, but in terms of narrative it might be one of the single meanest games to the protagonist from start to finish. It is so consistently and pointless cruel to the main character that by the end you, the player, will probably agree with the game that everyone is better off if the main character kills themself and actively cheering your own story mandated suicide

I am chewing on Octopath Traveler harder than I have on a JRPG since ...years. many Overcooked! 2 could use a bit of patching but things work and we're loving it at my place a ton. Finding far less "ugh that level" this time in the maps. Oh yeah and DQ Builders was a delight as someone who never played Minecraft.

I'm not gonna say no, but don't expect continued enjoyment from the random/endless mode. JawnV6 posted:Have the OS releases done anything to mitigate this... leak-proneness over time? Hackers have reverse-engineered the console pretty thoroughly and Nintendo would've been laughed out of the courtroom if they couldn't garbage-collect a closed application. Any memory leaks that happen are the fault of the game developers and will be fixed by closing the misbehaving software.

Failure is a major theme in the game by they beat you and Owlboy to death with it. I could almost respect it if the gameplay was actually a thing, but it isn't so instead it just gets soul crushing when your reward for pushing on through more gruel is gently caress you loser, you suck and you're only making poo poo worse. punk rebel ecks posted:How big is Skyrim's world compared to say Xenoblade X? Half the size and like six times the worthwhile content. In other ideas, avoid using the hollow husk of an empty carcass that is Xenoblade Chronicle X's barren wasteland of a world map as a measure for if a world is worth exploring. (It's still probably smaller then both BotW and Xeno2, but it's still a pretty wide playground with plenty of nooks to explore. How much you'd appreciate it mostly comes down to how willing you are to shove your nose into places to find generic loot and earn some meager XPs. Or alternatively, use quests to get most of your exploring done because a lot of the important places in the game will usually eventually come up in some quest or another. I'm not sure it holds up as a 'playground' compared to BotW, but I'm admittedly not a big fan of either Skyrim or BotW)
