The nice part about the digital version of Starlink is you get WAY MORE SHIPS/PILOTS/ETC for 20$ less. Which, ya know, makes sense since you're not getting the toys. The physical edition on the Switch is 80$, And you get 2 pilots, 3 weapons, and the Arwing.

Picked up Guacamelee to play through it again, and I forgot how slick it feels. The style and animations are great, and I had a hard time putting it down as it keeps funneling you to the next objective. It's a stark contrast to Hollow Knight, which often felt like a slog, especially when I saw that the next unexplored area was across the map and the nearest fast travel point was a couple minutes away.

Mister Facetious posted:Please compare it to Colony Wars 1-3, my gold standard for console space combat (because I can't be arsed to buy Elite: Dangerous). Great throwback. I loved those games as well but I hardly ever see them mentioned or discussed. I remember the cool ads they had in gamer mags and eventually I got to play them at a cousin’s house. Really felt like you were part of a huge war rather than being a lone hero.

Wait, you only get all of the games content if you buy it digitally, and with the physical version you need to buy the toys to unlock the parts? Am I reading that correctly?

I thought Starlink was like, Nintendo Skylanders or something. All I know is it's a space shooter with toys.

Not ALL of the content, just more in the digital starter pack. You can buy ships/parts/pilots in digital bundles for much cheaper than buying the toys. So, if you're an adult who doesnt give a gently caress about plastic, it's preferable. As per the Starlink website: The Starter Pack for Nintendo Switch includes: Starlink: Battle for Atlas Joycon Mount Arwing Starship Fox McCloud and exclusive Star Fox missions Mason Rana Flamethrower Weapon Frost Barrage Weapon Digital Zenith Starship Digital Shredder Weapon Starter Packs retail for $74.99 The Digital Starter Packs include: Starlink: Battle for Atlas 4 Starships (Zenith, Pulse, Lance, Neptune) 6 Pilots (Mason, Chase, Levi, Razor, Hunter, Kharl) 12 Weapons (Shredder, Flamethrower, Frost Barrage, Levitator, Volcano, Imploder, Iron Fist, Freeze Ray Mk.2, Crusher, Shredder Mk.2, Shockwave, and Gauss Gun Mk.2) The Nintendo Switch Digital Starter Pack also includes pilot Fox McCloud, exclusive Star Fox missions, and the Arwing starship All digital starter packs retail for $59.99 Waffle! posted:I thought Starlink was like, Nintendo Skylanders or something.

It totally makes sense to mount the ship to the joycon puppy but being locked into a worse controller setup than split cons or Pro controller is one more argument for just passing on physical

Ragequit posted:Lmao I just got Runelord in Octopath Traveler. That is some busted poo poo. For the price of 1 standard attack, I can knock down two weaknesses toward a break and do an extra 10,000 damage. I also have a 50% chance of doing it twice with the second serving passive! If you're only doing 9999 with the Runelord's chaser then you need to equip the damage cap passive from warrior because with good gear your chaser hits for tens of thousands of damage.

It's not as good as Dutch Apple Pie but it's a close second.

I love my Switch forever but I’m definitely tired of multi platform games underperforming on Switch. The latest being 2012’s Mark of the Ninja being 60fps on ALL consoles except Switch. (30 handheld and choppy docked) For that reason, I think if I intend to ever get Star Link it will be on PS4 or something...

On the subject of streaming apps, I've got a hunch that Hulu paid for one year exclusivity in the US back before people saw the switch would be big and we'll likely start seeing other streaming apps on the platform starting next month. Especially since kid eyeballs are amongst the most valuable ones.

And kids are\were decidedly not the focus of the switch, which is partially why there was no 12switch bundle, would give the wrong impressing.

Well poo poo. Hearing that the physical edition of Starlink comes with less stuff than the digital while being more expensive means I’ll be canceling my preorder from GameStop. I normally only get digital versions of small indie titles but looks like I’ll be investing in an SD card. The two games I’m most excited about from E3 are Starlink and Daemon x Machina.

I don't download a lot on consoles, so I don't know how normal this is, but I'm downloading the splatoon 2 dlc and it's pulling it down at 35mbps. That's a lot faster than I would have expected from a console download. I remember ps3 updates being incredibly slow in particular.

Rocket League is a good comparison of how steep a hit a game on the Switch takes in its intended visual fidelity. It looks terrible in comparison to just about anything. But the appeal of portable Rocket League on a stable mobile platform is 🅱️retty good I don't know how much they'll be able to fix from the Dark Souls demo, but it's evident it's not supposed to be running on a Switch. I think you should avoid buying these games so not to encourage poor ports, but ymmv

I think we've hit the peak now, where companies aren't even pretending to put effort into getting the best performance out of the their ports and are just making GBS threads them out instead.

I'm watching for sure, but there's already at least one Switch game I want coming out every month for the next several months, not to mention other platforms. Soul Calibur is gonna eat up some time.

The difference is just that you can switch parts instantly with the physical stuff instead of going thru the menu.

more NES games were just added to the NES app, none of the other games were removed to make room in case that's something you were worried about One of the games they added was a "Special" version of Zelda, you start out with 6 hearts, the master sword, the bigger shield, a different tunic, max rupees and a bunch of items... Also it seems like secrets in the overworld are already revealed? Pretty neat addition I guess .TakaM fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Oct 10, 2018 |

I wonder if they'll do more versions of games like that. Special version of Zelda 2 with a bunch of exp and perma-candle please.

Deadly Premonition is that Not Twin Peaks game right? I think it was one of the only Let's Play I've ever watched and really enjoyed. I wonder how this new game plays. My partner eats up mystery stuff like this so maybe I can get her to be interested in it as well...
