I’ve been coming around on the idea that the combat in BotW is pretty bland.

It’s very basic but the game does give you a ton of other directions from which you can approach an encounter with an enemies.

The melee combat is really simplistic and there's almost no attacks for the 4 or 5 types of weapons you can use. But all of the tools you have can drastically change things up, but if you don't really use that stuff and just want to whack dude's in the face it gets dull.

It's easy to learn the basics, but pulling off the parry repeatedly is satisfying

Me making that realization has no merit on my first play through. The game is astounding. Once you comeback and or put several dozens to hundreds of hours in does combat become tiresome.

Even then, you could always gently caress off and go exploring.

You joke but I made fun of my friends for getting like 4 monitors together to play Diablo when the actual system has handheld mode. But then I tried it and it was way better docked on a tiny screen than in handheld

I went back to my static high tier spawn in Dawn of Survivors, and there's a bunch of low level players running around there now. Decided to do some naked runs for another dynamic spawn to close out the night. I want to make a goal of looting the higher tier mats so I can farm the high tier mats with higher tier tools, but I need better armor because of all the higher tier zombie types there.

Ding Ding XL is ok. It's like you are e a dog or cat and a glowy ball is being thrown back and forth. You time it to avoid hitting the shapes in the middle, there are some powerups (which kinda suck) , but the game is very challenging. And you can absolutely flip the switch on its side, and play the game that way. The ball swells (like a 🦆)and if it gets too big it explodes. I hoped it'd be a little more like Every Extend Extra, but it's not , . It's ok, but you might not like Ding Dong XL

No it says you're wrong to think that Nintendo made a pro like Sony and put the mini in a vita casing.

Didn't realize the tweet was so old though. Everyone is speculating we hear something tomorrow during the financial reports.

Searching for threads on whether to buy dragons dogma is hilarious. I don’t think there has been a more divisive game- some people think it’s boring repetitive crap and some people can’t stop playing it as a pinnacle of realistic high fantasy.

I suppose the tweet can be read both ways, but I'm of the opinion that the first comment is separate from the second. "You'd be wrong to think the Pro is a Pro" and "The mini is a cheaper smaller version that looks similar to most handhelds"

No it's end game level and you will get utterly annihilated at any point before that. And after that for a while too.

Yeah it's really frustrating when there isn't a trailer for a game, just stills.

Also for those of you who suggest watching someone play Dragon's Dogma, that doesn't work for me, and I wish there were more demos of games, especially if it was time-locked, and not a modified version. I really liked what they did with the Octopath Demo. They let you play like x hours total, it was pretty much the game itself, and it gave you a good sense of what it was going to be like. I don't think I can run DD on my computer, so I can't even test it there and return it. Just a demo that'll let me do the first hour or so, and get a sense of what was happening, would be really nice.

I realize everyone says the first hour or so aren't really the game, but even that would be better than nothing. Had I gotten that with Darkest Dungeon for example, I certainly wouldn't have purchased it, because I only put in a few hours before its loop got super boring.

I'm pretty sure there is a Switch revision or two in the works, but at this point, there's pretty much no telling what the specifics even are since there's so much muddled information.

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
Unless they're shifting to something other than Tegra, all they can really do performance-wise for a "Switch Pro" is reduce underclocking like the homebrewers have been doing. Gains are modest. I could see them doing that and just replacing the current Switch with New Switch in the lineup.

If it's a revision with technical tweaking they might not even bother differentiating it.

Doesn't the SNES at least have a fair amount of SKUs with minor differences over its lifetime?

They gotta announce a Mario Maker 2 release date sometime, and it'd be real weird if they reveal it at E3 considering that game comes out sometime in June. I expect a direct sometime relatively soon.

The are several QOL and design issues they could improve without even touching the processing of the thing. Make it smaller, reduce bezel to keep screen size, improve ergonomics, improve the stand, improve the docking mechanism, have a more vivid screen, or a glass one. There's a ton of options.
