I think the switch is the only console I've owned where I haven't had a game crash (yet)

When I don't turn my switch off for weeks/months I run into weird issues with games. One time games (every game) would crash when resuming from sleep. Doing a full power cycle on the switch solved that.

More frequently it's weird performance issues; Isaac or Gungeon getting real slideshow-like without any reason to. Again, a full power cycle fixes it.

There have been legit game crashes I've run into, but at this point if something weird happens I usually power cycle the console.

Hahaha I had Skyrim on PS3 and it got to the point where it ran at like 10FPS. I also got it on PS4 and it has a DLC-breaking bug that's also present in the Switch edition.
Bethesda games on console are genuinely the buggiest console games I've ever played. Fallout NV on PS3 was disgraceful

Had my second Into the Breach win last night! With the Rusting Hulks again...

For whatever reason I just can't get a win with another squad. Rusting Hulks have good damage output, displacement, and stats. I've really tried to make it work with Flame Behemoths, but I just feel like I can't keep the damage up fast enough and I end up getting overwhelmed around the halfway point.

I think I just need to unlock a new squad because I'm not in love with the ones I have at the moment.

Mechs are only secondary in importance to pilots. There are some very good pilots and some pilots that are practically broken, especially when used in combination with a certain mech. For example take your Rusting Hulks. There's a pilot capable of flying and attacking through dust and webbing. You can only imagine the possibilities. Being untouched by webbing makes her good to begin with, but on the jet she's wonderful.

There's a pilot I can think of, who in particular can help boost your damage and move abilities on the Flame Squad (let alone other squads) if you need it, but she's tough to come by.

The other squad I quite liked was the ice one. They have a special artillery unit, that again becomes super powerful with the right pilot, but even by itself is pretty neat if you can figure out its gimmick.

There's a couple of pilots you'll want to keep launching through time, especially with the right bonuses. The aforementioned Damage+Push one, and there's another dude who's not too bad to find who gives you armor. Another guy pushes when heals. Granting you extra actions can really help with mechs with limited options.

that's not "on console", it's just Bethesda games in general. That is also why I will never play a Bethesda game on a console, because at least on PC when my character gets stuck on a ankle-high rock formation I can just 'tcl' to get out of it instead of losing an hour of progress :v: I seriously don't know how people play those games without console commands.

fwiw Isaac is hilariously badly coded. It's the only game that ever crashed my 3ds, and it can crash it so bad you need to force the power off. BoI on the 3ds can even crash the system while it's in sleep mode.

Yeah actually Amazon screwed up with Xenoblade for me also, so I cancelled after Best Buy agreed to match the price + prime discount. I feel like some 3ds game also showed up late, their release day shipping is unreliable these days I suppose.

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


I don't know if Amazon and Nintendo ever patched things up after the 3ds failure. They only support Nintendo stuff now because the switch is our Lord and savior. And I'm pretty sure most of the Nintendo stuff they sell is through 3rd parties.

I stopped using Amazon for Nintendo stuff during the wii u. Not worth the hassle.

So since the VR Labo kit is out now, I had a question regarding the reflective tape. If it comes off, could you tape it back on with double sided tape? I know that if you use regular tape, it'll cover the reflective part

With Amazon charging sale's tax in my state now and Best Buy's price match there's really no reason for me not to go to Best Buy if they have something in stock.

It's a port with a few new features. The buddy system allows you to take a friend along and play two player but I haven't used that mode. They can follow you around as an NPC and have a bunch of skills. There are dozens of buddies and pretty much every major character can come with you, and most monsters. They added a hard mode that plays more like a true roguelike where you lose all your equipment and makes the game really difficult.

Storywise, it's the same game, if you give a poo poo about the story. There are a lot of new challenge dungeons including one that's like 50 floors long that I haven't even tried to penetrate yet. They changed a few of the music tracks for some reason, but it's 90% the same.

There's actually a huge change.

They took out the card game :mad:

Took maybe any hour to get the goggles together and I only messed around with a few of the minigames but it all seems really cool. Most of the minigames are about getting you acclimated to VR, they're super sandboxy. Bomb Hockey is dope, and I kinda wish you could play it multiplayer :saddowns:

Digital only since I don't want to clog up my house with more plastic crap.

I think my favorites are

• Frost Barrage
• Flamethrower
• Imploder/Nullifier
• Levitator

I don't know which ones came with the game, but you kinda need one of each elemental at least, and those ones are pretty cool. I use them the most (I've tried them all)
