Gold edition just includes the dlc, purchasing that separately doesn't change the price significantly, you cost yourself a few bucks, or less if you ignore the weapon pack

Which DLC are the ones that are worth it?

Doom Eternal is coming to the switch. Hopefully this means it'll launch with motion aiming as well.

I hope Doom Eternal's Switch port launches at the same time as all the other versions, because that's the version I'll be getting no matter what.
No word on Doom Eternal's release date on any platform yet, but the Switch port is being done at the same time as the game itself instead of being an after-the-fact thing.

Can I ask ya somethin', Padre? When I was kickin' your ass back there... you get a little wood?

Is there a major advantage to getting the deluxe digital version of Starlink, or is the normal digital edition fine? I see the deluxe one has more ships/pilots, but I also see people saying they just use the arwing the whole game.

They patched it once so you can run at 30 FPS locked with no stutter. A real 'fix' to 60 fps is still yet to come (but they say they're working on it)

Is The World Ends With You: Final Remix worth it?

I have mixed feelings on it. It's TWEWY so it is a good game by that merit but the controls in TV mode take some getting used to and you have to mash the recenter button all the drat time and the new story content is genuinely loving terrible. The writing for it somehow worse than what you'd see in a teenagers fanfic and it ends on a generally abysmal cliffhanger that will probably never get resolved.

Play it for the base game if you do get it.

Would you (or someone else feeling good about their settings) mind telling me what you found as “dialed in” for settings for controls in Warframe?

I practically play 100% in portable mode so keep that in mind. I basically threw the sensitivity down to 13, 11 for aiming with motion aiming turned down to like 3. I personally find that it's hard to aim with joycons precisely so I always turn sensitivity down in shooters. This makes it so small adjustments are super easy by combining small joystick adjustments with motion aiming.

YMMV of course but in games like Warframe where headshots can increase damage appreciably I like to be precise.

This is good advice.

My advice is always play the most absurd AOE build possible because this is a hoard shooter and precision is overrated.

Actually precision can be very helpful to burn down some bosses in one cycle but it's not something you need to be concerned with for normal play.

No one uses the sniper rifles aside from XP fodder. The game is just way too fast to make them viable.

What were you expecting? Just straight pointer? Gyro + joystick is the best thing on console. Use the stick to adjust and change the sensitivity as needed

Using hybrid sticks plus motion aiming is way, way better than using sticks alone. Not quite as good as using a mouse, but very decent. That being said, it's a skill that takes practice even if you're already good on sticks. If you haven't used sticks since the Halo 2 era then you're basically combining two control types that you have no FPS practice on so no wonder it feels clumsy. It will take much longer than an hour to get proficient but once you are you can pull of strings of headshots effortlessly.

I think you're misunderstanding how "motion aiming" works in consoles.

You play it like a normal fps without motion aiming, and only use gyro as the last bit of fine tuning to line up head shots or precise shots etc. It's not 100 percent gyro.

That would be awful and unfun. The current implementation is absolute genius imo, its literally console fps gameplay that managed to solve the "sticks aren't precise enough" dilemna. It's no mouse and keyboard but it works great once you adjust and find a setting that works for you

That is in fact how you are supposed to use motion controls. Sure they're no mouse and keyboard, but it's a huge step up from just sticks. Allows for a greater sense of fine tuning in console shooters.

VC2 fell down the bad anime cliche tree and hit every branch on the way down before landing on its head. The squads are also reduced to six instead of ten, there's no perma-death, and levelling units (not classes as a whole) is done via obtaining medals. Medals are earned by esoteric combat situations you will never find yourself in unless you actively force them to occur, and you'd need to do that for every individual unit.

It is an atrociously-bad game, and should be avoided at all costs.

VC3's actually not bad per-se, it's just stuck on the PSP with its limitations (six-man squads, small maps). Like VC4 it's also set at the same time as the original but on a different front of the war.

Yeah EBGames selection is crap. Diablo 3 is nice at $57, but you could get it for $2 cheaper for a few weeks by price matching.

Fingers crossed they need to release more discounts
