If you're having trouble with the gargoyles, if you're in human form you can summon an NPC to help out. His summon sign is in one of the rooms leading up to the church roof.

My left joycon isn't latching to anything fully securely--pinning the stick upward is sometimes enough to jerk it loose from either the switch or the grip. Is this something I might be able to fix with some poking around?

I have a hardware question that someone here might be able to answer. I swapped out my left joycon's shell today for a new atomic purple one. The buttons, new dpad, etc all work, but there's one problem. When I slide the joycon onto the console itself, the joycon will start charging, but the switch itself doesn't register that a joycon has been attached. I can see the little animation play on the left hand side of the screen showing that something has been attached, but the switch still reads it as being a split joycon, and won't switch to hand held mode. Anyone know what might have caused this, some setting I can change to manually force the joycon into handheld mode, or some part or antenna that might need to be adjusted for this to work properly?

I've had that happen on stock unmodified joycons before. I don't know what causes it, but I usually have to restart the Switch, try pairing the joycon again, or some combination of the two to fix it. It's a very rare occurrence at least but it is frustrating when it happens in the middle of a game.

Just got done playing some Starlink for the day, and now that I've gotten a fair piece in I want to leave some of my thoughts here. I've got Fox to level 20 and I've fully secured 4 planets and blown up three dreadnoughts. I'm still enjoying this game a great deal. I was a little worried when the reviews started dropping and I hadn't gotten very far into it yet, but I've come to think that a lot of those reviewers were basically...not playing the game correctly. Dreadnought fights for example were commonly described as messy and the game's difficulty skewing towards encouraging you to blow through ships to clear content, and I've found that neither of these things are true. In dreadnought fights you only get overwhelmed if you don't destroy the waves of fighters inbetween turrets. If you do, the fights proceed like a series of dogfights punctuated by bombing runs on the dreadnought itself, finally ending in a sweet Return of the Jedi trench run. They're fairly infrequent, and so far one of my favorite action bits in the game. Also blowing through ships means you aren't prepared, you really want your pilot to have some expertise in at least a couple ships and if you find yourself running down the whole list, you need to reevaluate what you're doing. Progression has been smooth. As I move about completing objectives it actually does feel like it matters when you build outposts- rando nps allies are actually surprisingly useful when they're nearby, and sometimes they'll even take down objectives on their own. When you really get into the push and pull of the overall war, the strategic layer really shines. There's always plenty to do, and if you proceed through your story (and starfox) missions as you come to them moving counterclockwise around the starmap there's a steady drumbeat of new stuff to do outside of the core legion-fighting gameplay loop. Also everything is just really, really pretty and flying around is generally a treat. I can understand why the toys would throw off the reviews though. I can imagine the difficulty being pretty fucky if I didn't have access to the full suite of elemental combos and all those ships you get in the digital version. Altogether the game is good, and I think underrated, but it's hard to argue that the disparity between the physical and digital versions makes it hard to really grade effectively. Also my roommate has been watching me play it a lot, and yesterday he commented that it looked like the best Star Fox game since 64, and at first I tried to quibble but I really can't. If you don't really consider the non space shooter starfoxes 'Starfox' games, than it probably is. I liked Star Fox Adventures, for the record.

Starlink is very different from Star Fox games, structure-wise and gameplay wise for the most part. That said, the Arwing ship does play a little bit more like Star Fox than most. I do like that they made the Arwing fast and fragile rather than middle of the road. (is it worth using the Arwing's laser cannons for anything, since you can't seem to upgrade them?) However, the presentation and music for the Star Fox team is full of references and pretty much comes off as them dropped off straight from their own series into this one (and they fit the genre perfectly) so it's hard to complain it's not a good game where you can play as Fox.

Ghost Leviathan posted:(is it worth using the Arwing's laser cannons for anything, since you can't seem to upgrade them?) I duplicated the mod that increases their power [You find it during the Outlaw Base Star Fox mission, if you don't have it go back in the base and open a chest] and even massively overleveled and in late-game their damage just isn't up to snuff. The inability to fully mod them like other weapons means they'll never be able to catch up to even something as simple as Dual Shredders, and having to sacrifice ship mods that increase your durability just to make them half as good as other weapons means you're really going to feel that lack of strength when outlaws or legion drakes overwhelm you in space. They're a fun way to cherry tap 1v1 engagements, though!

I am still just messing about on the intro planet...I keep going to the markers on the map that say there is a reward for completing them, and they are x number of 17 or something...but I never seem to get a reward from them, is it something I actually have to search the thing to find? Also no matter how many places I go the list of discovered stuff doesn't really seem tp update, not sure what's going on there. Might restart the game today since I'm not so tired and hopefully remember what the tutorial is trying to tell me. I love the feeling of flight in this, it's ridiculous how well they've done it.

Crashed spaceships have a cache somewhere that you have to manually open, as do abandoned settlements (which you can also liberate by destroying all the enemies around them) where the interior is usually sealed off by some elemental barrier. The alien ruin thingies usually have some elemental puzzle dealio going on, I think. A lot of the larger wrecks have mini-puzzles going on. It's a bit Zelda-y.

Artic Puma posted:First time dark souls player (loving it!) who has found a ton of different places to go and is looking for some advice on where to go next pretty early in the game: Since it's your first time, Summoning is a nice way to learn the fights, it does increase the boss' health though. You should be able to kill the Moonlight Butterfly, It's not "hard," you just have to learn how to dodge the magic bolts, or find the magic defense shield. Most of the bosses are just intense pattern recognition, to the point where people can beat the game without leveling. One of my favorite early moments in base DS2 is entering the tower of flame, coming across a really hard boss from DS1, and just destroying him with barely any level ups just because I fought him a ton trying to help other players overcome his speed bump. A friend couldn't get past the fight in DS2, and let me try it with weapons I wasn't fond of, and managed to do it on one Estus Flask, which was from a mistake I made from being over confident about mid way through the fight.

These Starlink bozos are lucky as hell that a competent cartoon animal brigade turned up to solve all their problems for them. Games alright, pretty mindless shooty fun in a well optimized NMS star system. I'm a bit confused by the Inventory system, I seem to always be full of stuff I don't know what to do with, but other stuff I can pick up endless amounts of. I couldn't find an inventory tab in thr menus either so I guess I just have 5/5 red circles forever.
