It really shits me that all you get is "Blabla & 1 more updated" for about two seconds and that's it. I'm pretty sure Paladins sucked down 6GB off my mobile plan this morning because I didn't leave the system in flight mode

I didn't have a NES/SNES as a kid and never played Megaman. I like platformers but you're all making it sound frustrating. For reference, I love the poo poo out of Dead Cells but find The Messenger quite frustrating and probably won't be finishing it. Should I bother with Megaman?

Someone please realtalk with me why the Switch has no licensed car games besides that lovely mobile port Gear.Club Unlimited, from the makers of TDU 1 & 2. No sim racing games, and no arcade racers either. I mean, for gently caress's sake, Gameloft should have two Asphalt games on this thing by now.

I just performed my second successful Joy Con surgery to correct stick problems. I know the electronics inside do really cool stuff, but everything else about them feels cheap, like the entire assembly could be accidentally crushed in your hand like an egg. By comparison I've also repaired Xbone controllers and they feel really solid and well made.

Accounts are fully portable. You can log your account into multiple switches and play your games on any of them. On your primary switch there are no restrictions. On any secondary switch you just be online and logged in to play your games. There is now a website where you can deactivate your account from your primary switch without even having it in your possession without having to call anyone (you can only do this once a year) in case it's lost or stolen. Or you can untie your account from your switch from it's system menu whenever you want if you're about to buy a new one.

I'd be surprised if they improve the display. Usually hardware revisions mean a move over to cheaper or more efficient components unless a 'Pro' version is coming. An OLED display would be awesome though. I'll get serious FOMO if they upgrade to a more powerful processor though....

My guess is the new nintendo switch is a sku without the dock. This already sort of exists in Japan but it's an online order only. This would be just making it a unit that can be on shelves. Or a switch only unit (not even joycons) that can be purchased with joycons at a discount.

An OLED display would be awesome though. I believe the current CPU is manufactured on an older process that's being phased out by most factories. A smaller chip of the same speed would produce less heat and drain less battery, so that and smaller bezels around the screen are the two things I expect from this revision. More a DS Lite revision than a DSi.

So here's the question I've asked every couple of months for the last year: Is there a third-party dock that will not brick/detonate my Switch? Looking for something I can throw in my travel bag so I don't have to unplug my dock from my TV.

Looking for something I can throw in my travel bag so I don't have to unplug my dock from my TV. The answer is still get an official dock. Nintendo uses some customised proprietary USB/HDMI connector which means third-party docks could at best not work and at worst totally brick your switch.

This seems to be like the DS Lite revision. I doubt it's about VR, as you really need OLED for that, and the Switch is too large/heavy to be worn comfortably on your face. I'm sure there will be a cartridge-port lacking, smaller sized, OLED Switch intended for VR somewhere down the line but this ain't it. [Edit: I've thought about this a bit more and yeah, if this is any thing other than a display panel swap and exploit fix I'll be shocked. Even decreasing the bezel size for a slightly larger display would cause issues with stuff like Labo.] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Oct 4, 2018 |

Your Computer posted:I enjoyed Diablo 3 at launch but I also have no nostalgia for Diablo 2 and just played it like a fun single player action RPG on a normal difficulty v Playing on higher difficulties was always where Diablo happened, and it turns out in order to facilitate their lovely idea of an auction house and real money auction house drop rates were set extremely low and paired with extremely random attribute rolls on items (so you could have the item you wanted to drop, but still come out useless because the second row of dice ruined it). The game bared it's ugly random number generator face. It turned into gambling for the €250 item you could put on the RMAH or sell for more offsite.

Remember the time we suggested they needed to update the system hardware faster than Xbox and PS4 revisions and everyone started throwing insults? Pepperidge farm remembers. I’m really glad Nintendo is doing this because too many publishers and titles are passing on the system and will pass on the system.
