The switch xbox gamepass stuff seemed weird to me until I realized it's probably more profitable for Nintendo to piggyback off existing streaming code Microsoft developed and add their back catalogue to it instead of making their own or making Virtual Console releases that never sell that well. (I think I remember some exec saying that at some point)

In regards to people asking what the point of an Xbox One Two would be, if Microsoft's plan actually worked, there wouldn't be one. Microsoft wouldn't give a poo poo about selling a mass amount of boxes if a significant enough amount of people were paying for Gold and Game Pass to play on their phones and tablets. The cheaper box would exist only as a convenient way to stream to TVs that don't have an Xbox app available. The more expensive box would be for enthusiasts who want to download full fidelity games still. I don't think this future is near, but I do think some of you underestimate the tolerance of your average consumer when it comes to latency/worse video quality. Your average teen isn't going to give a poo poo about it if it means they can play CoD on their phone without their parents having to buy them a $300-$500 dollar box.

Should be noted that Xbox streaming service doesn't actually exist currently. Game Pass on Windows and Xbox One is just free games that you download. They haven't officially launched the streaming end of it yet, and probably won't until at least after E3.

It's a fun, low stress, repetitive gameplay loop. Some might call it grindy but if you like blowing things up and slowly taking over a star system for the good guys, it could be for you. The story is nothing CRAZY good, but it's cool to see Team Star Fox actually participate in it. I like it.

Deified Data posted:Anybody give Tangledeep a try? It looks kinda fun and I'm not usually into roguelikes. Only $20. It's excellent on Switch. It's still a bit buggy but nothing has been game breaking for me yet. However if you like Roguelikes, you can't go wrong. I've been waiting for a game like this on a portable console since I played Crawl on PC almost ten years ago. I have around 25 hrs played and am still going strong.

El Mero Mero posted:anyone here played Starlink? Is it any good? I've written about Starlink on several occasions. 100YrsofAttitude posted:As for a description of the game, it's super-chill. There's no real challenge, especially with the options given to you in the in the Digital versions and with the extra lives you get. It's really just zooming around a generic looking planet, that is largely non-interactive while blowing up enemies. Each planet has something like 30-40 things to unlock on them that makes unimportant numbers go up. This isn't a great description and you'd think the game would be boring. And I suppose it is? But the gameplay is fun enough and it's just nice to swoop about blowing people up. The space battles are pretty good and can feel genuinely hectic as you're finally flying in a 3D space, but even then there's no real challenge. But it is a nice experience. It's been the perfect long-day at work game to just jump into, ram into some mooks, blowing them up, as I slowly drift off to sleep. Smash and Splatoon are too high-pressure and I know that when I play them tired I just gently caress things up. This game definitely is the opposite of that. This may not seem like a glowing review but I genuinely like the game. It's very relaxing to play and I look forward to getting back to it after the April update. I have Okami to beat before then, and while it's nice the combat is killing my interest. It just feels very tacked on and it's not even that good to begin with.

Solaire is so funny on that fight. Sometimes he last about 10 seconds, sometimes he just straight up solo's one of them before you get a chance to get a clean hit in.

Wait for the deluxe to go on sale again. It was on sale on the eshop for $40 when it's usually like $80, so I imagine closer to the expansion release it'll be on sale again. That's what I'm waiting for.

Rolo posted:DS1 is the only one I haven’t really tried. Is the boss harder than soloing all of DS2-3 and BB and all the DLCs? You'll be fine, and if you can beat that boss there is absolutely nothing in the game of comparable difficulty. The issue is its a twin-enemy boss that has two phases that are fully distinct; any damage you deal to the one you don't kill in the first phase is regenerated, and the second phase is full of insta-kill attacks. Its enough of a difficulty spike in an otherwise soothing and relatively easy game that it gives me pause to replay the game and its my favorite in the franchise.

Maybe if there were two Ornsteins and two Smoughs in the fight it would be comparable to Orphan of Kos

So I git Spintires and had a quick run through the tutorial and it seems well adapted to the Switch. Not sure how hectic it will get but it looks like it will be a good ol time. Basically what I'm saying is European/American Truck Simulator when?!
