So all this talk about Starlink makes me want it.

But what about Everspace? It looks really cool and possibly up my alley. Anything I should know?

Also, pooping and peeing in Okami? Yellow thunder? Brown rage? Holy poo poo how did I not know this?

Get Starlink on the cheap. If you can deal with toys I swear I've seen it as low as 15 euro. Otherwise hold out for a good digital sale. It's rarer but it happens. And then just get Standard.

Like we say it's very repetitive and there's no sense of danger especially if you 100% planets as you hit them, but it is very relaxing. Also if you're a fan of Star Fox, they've worked it in more than well. I love how they know it only sold because of Star Fox, to the point that only the Switch version is getting a free DLC update focusing on the rest of the crew. I put it on hold just to play with those dudes at the same time.

It seems that Falco's special is a Smart Bomb. Kinda curious to see what they did for Slippy and Peppy.

Nintendo, give me a massive joycon with the Gamecube's ABXY layout you cowards.

When the Switch was first announced was sure every first party game would get a special edition with its own unique joycons - either different skins or different shapes/layouts. Kind like how every game had an amiibo edition during the Wii U era (I miss that).

Obviously that would be both mad, expensive and dumb.

Of the joycons where 40-50 a pair it wouldn't be. $20 for the custom one would be cheap and you'd naturally fill out your joycons using 4 left and 4 right games.

It seems like something they wanted but couldn't get the pricing to work.

Since here doesn't seem to be a Splatoon 2 thread, did anyone else have the issue of Nintendo sending you a wrong-region copy of Splatoon 2? This apparently only matters if you try to access the Octo-expansion, which I purchased in anticipation of being able to happily play it, but it turns out I can't play, and I can't order it in the game because the game doesn't match my Switch's region. So I'm apparently completely boned out of the Octo Expansion unless I buy another copy of Splatoon 2... and hope they actually send me a US copy, huh?

Splatoon Thread is this way

I think you can shop other regions' games on the e-Shop, but I don't know how it'll help if you've already got the games. Maybe give Nintendo a call to see if they'll help.

I'm old and cranky. I like straightforward stuff like DOOM and Wolfenstein and Metroidvania.

Just give me my new gear. I don't want to fuss around in menus.

Breath of the Wild is about the extent of my patience for accounting simulators.

"You need 3 X parts to get the ninja outfit".

"Ok, those are over here. Be right back, lovely 40 foot tall drag queen."

Stuff like No Man's Sky where it takes a week of farming and resource management and crafting to put a new booster engine on your ship is my idea of gaming hell. Minecraft is literally what awaits me in hell. I know people love that stuff, and I'm not dragging them for liking it, but that is SO not my thing.

Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!

It's cool that you know what you like but you should probably know that souls games are more or less metroidvania/Zelda games and are nothing at all like what you're describing

There's zero grinding for one, it's just you exploring awesome hosed up ruined fantasy worlds and beating bosses to check out new areas. Combat is very pattern based, think classic Castlevania or even mega man (but melee vs guns) in a 3d space.

I can never decide.

I see. I wouldn't say Starlink is a complete enough concept to even qualify as that. The game is grinding only because there's only a couple of things to do, and even that boils down to "press button, make explosion". It's easy enough that you don't really have to grind to get better.

What it is is very relaxing.

Gripweed posted:

I'd like an answer for this too. I build two per planet because it doesn't seem to make a difference. Warping back there to knock out the Alpha or whatever isn't that big of a deal. Again, the ease of the game means I usually do things from the Top Down, if only to feel a bit of challenge.

I suppose the game is easy because I don't switch Pilots out as much as they'd want? So my Fox is massively overleveled, but I'm not even sure if he gets stats, just skill points to unlock some seemingly pointless attributes. What breaks the game is Fox's special ability, since it send a very competent AI ally. Seeing as your attributes serve to extend the length of that ally, and lessen the special requirement, he's there practically the whole time.

There's nothing complex about MHW's material farming for gear though. Armor is made directly and weapons have very clear and simple progression trees. :confused:

Spreadsheet games are games like EVE Online. Not "this game has options when crafting."
