+1 on kid liking the classics. My 5 yo likes at least half the games on the SNES classic.

I think you can put anyone of any age in front of Mario World or Yoshi's Island and they'll like it even now. baby, grandma, whatever.

a lot of NES games have indeed aged poorly but there's a good reason why shitloads of SNES games like Super Metroid/FF6/Chrono Trigger are still regarded extremely well, they're just really good. I mean gently caress, a lot of devs are still chasing the bar that Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid set in terms of "metroidvania" and JRPGs.

Renting The Uncanny X-Men for NES when I was 4-5 years old is my earliest memory of thinking a game was complete poo poo and not worth my time.

The best ones run really well and the game design for them is surprisingly modern. Chrono Trigger feels so well paced and not at all a slog, compared to even most modern RPGs.

Your all going crazy. Take a breath, regain you’re composure, and then go back to posting you are opinions about how the Virtual Boy is responsible for the death of millions and thus Nintendo should of been bought by Donald Trump to build the Great Wall of Nintendo so Mario can shoot illegals with his loving gun that he has now.

I am not a Nintendo fanboy. NES and SNES games don't hold up at all, the N64 had one of the weakest libraries of any major video game console, the Wii had maybe a couple dozen good games and the Wii U even fewer than that. The Switch is literally the second good home console Nintendo has ever made.

Pointing out that the criticisms of Nintendo you are leveling are pure flights of fancy from your imagination isn't being overly defensive.
Imagining bad things that might happen in the future based on nothing and then complaining about them is being overly negative.

This is insane lol

Also my dude, your argument that no one would like that type of game if it were released today is pretty drat stupid considering most of the wildly successful switch library is indie games that approximate exactly that type of experience.

To help un-poo poo the thread a bit as opposed to the opposite for once:

So is octopath one of those games that people just sort of forgot about? I didn't get much feedback on whether running a party of 4, finishing all their stories, and then completing the remaining 4 is a good odea.

I heard that just hopping around all 8 causes a weird difficulty curve/unfun grind. For now I'm barely doing Ch. 1 for everyone so I have time to figure out what I'll do I spose

There’s an Octopath thread that still gets posts. I basically had a party of 3 and swapped the fourth for whomever story I was doing. Your main character can get over leveled but never bothered me. Play it however you end up preferring.

I do this a lot, I daydream about getting to my free time nearly every waking hour, and once I do get there I agonize over how to "best spend it," often wasting it on scrolling through dumb poo poo online instead. I guess I'm just burned out in general

Instead of dumb arguments you could give me some advice on Into The Breach because i'm p sure i got it because of this thread.

Please recommend which Squads i should unlock, i unlocked the first two or three in order (rusties, zenith and blitzkrieg) and they all seem to loving suck compared to the starter squad. Hell, i'm playing on easy and even with the reduced reinforcements i'm stuggling keeping the enemies under control with 1-damage units, trading that off for even less squad damage seems stupid. The only time easy actually felt easy was when i tried a round of custom squads where all of my units had 3 damage lasers

Do you just wanna Murder Dudes Real Good or are you more into positioning/control as the main style of play for the squad. Also what pilots do you have unlocked.

I did all the stories at once subbing out for in game conversations. Everyone ended up around 56 after all but the final final boss.

Can't speak for monster Hunter but octoparh is excellent for short bursts. Each chapter has the same format of cutscenes dungeon cutscenes all do able in about 60-90 minutes. Makes for easily accessible content.

The game tries to introduce different battle mechanics to you slowly, there's some things you will only see in fights during one chapter, and then it slowly gets used more and more later on. If you start doing chapter 4s without having done all the chapter 2s and 3s you will get some surprises.

I did. Be aware that the adapter doesn’t seeAirPods as low-latency - that kind of playback requires headphones on the APTX-LL standard. That said, the lag on AirPods is probably minimal enough that you can definitely get plenty of use out of them.

If you have APTX-LL headphones it is a gigantic must-buy; I was able to get a decent-enough pair for cheap during holiday sales, and now I can play Lumines wirelessly with zero lag on the train. The adapter itself just works; you plug it in, pair your headphones, and go. It feels like something Nintendo themselves would sell.

Thanks for all this info!

I spent the first section of the game switching between all the characters as I got them so I could try them all out. Once I'd got them all, It turned out that everyone except my party leader was horribly underlevelled for any of the next areas I could do. When I realised I'd need to do a bunch of grinding before I could go any further I just stopped playing.

Having characters outside the active party not gain exp in a game made in 2018 is an unforgivable sin imo, especially coming after all the quality of life features the Bravely games had.

In Dead Cells, where is the exit to the Ramparts when you get the invisible platform tower spawning at the far right? I backtracked to a few towers and I came across one that needed a rune to get through, and I couldn't find any doors in the other towers. Am I missing something? I saw a tiny passage looking thing on the map under a large indoor area but when I tried jumping to it I just saw a wall then I fell into the pit and died.
