They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


I just hit lvl 23 in Dragon’s Dogma as a fighter. When is a good time to change my vocation?

Whenever the hell I want? Few more levels?

I’m thinking of going mage. My main pawn is a strider and I want to have one of every vocation.

Whenever You Want, especially when you have the augments you like from that job. (there's a real answer from a min/max perspective but it barely matters in practice)

Tetris 99 is ok for free, but it looks like an MSN/Flash game from like 2006

Puyo Puyo Tetris is nice, but it's covered in annoying animes

They really just need to make a proper one. With Tetris Effect existing, there's really no excuse for Tetris to look crappy

I mean Battle Royale can be fun with friends, but in T99 you're basically stuck playing against some random anonymous gang.

The devs said the next dlc will be about coop, and it's included with the $10.

idk how the gently caress Saints Row 3 looks like such rear end on Switch. After the work that was put into DOOM I don't think anyone has an excuse anymore, it's now a question of whether or not you suck at optimizing your poo poo. And DOOM was from 2016, how the gently caress does a game from 2011 look and run worse?

Why did they port the third instead of 2 (the best of the games) or 4 (a really good supervillain simulator)

Like I feel dumb having gotten Puyo Puyo Tetris over this way back when, but I'd think I'd prefer the dedicated Tetris game. Is there any other difference? (Yes I find the Anime of the former grating both visually and auditorily).

I'd love a full on remake of two, but I'm still really disappointed that the port of 3 apparently runs so poorly docked. I was kinda looking forward to having it for my trip on monday. :(

Good news they're talking about more announcements so I'm sure they'll port another game to this machine.

The codebase for 2 is apparently a hideous nightmare preventing it from being ported or even many of the bugs from being fixed.

Once you've got the Carrying Capacity augment, feel free to bounce.

Nobody told me that the giant trolls were also luchadores. Then one of them drop-kicked one of my pawns into a ravine. Game might be awesome.

Also what they said about Griffins was truth.

I jumped onto the back of an Ogre in the Everfall, then it charged my pawns. As it was charging I was flung off it and fell all the way down to the bottom of the pit and died.

It ruled.

I did the same thing but the ogre charged off the edge with me still on its back. It went splat at the bottom and I was still fine.

It ruled even more.

Tetris Effect is a really cool, beautiful game (especially in VR) but uh there's no real reason for every Tetris game to look and act like it. That's what makes it special, that it's a weird Mizuguchi experience that also has Tetris (and I guess regular normal Lumines-lookin' modes if you want). Tetris 99's aesthetic is fine for what they're doing.

The Saints Row port is functional. The graphics are fine on the small screen but in docked all the shortcuts they used are more apparent. I still like it because it's Saints, but yikes it's not as pretty as the 360 version.

Out of nowhere, here's my favourite fun fact about Sainty Row. The British player voice is done by Charles Shaughnessy, the guy who played Maxwell Sheffield on The Nanny. At one point they were seriously considering him for James Bond but went with Pierce Brosnan instead. Such a shame.
Anyway, 2 is easily the best in the series.

Been tempted to buy it for the fourth time but i just can't go back after the PC version. Assy framrate, the lack of 150 goons with free pawns that are mostly awesome and not being able to change the menu music back to the original are serious deal breakers.
I'll probably pick it up during a sale just for the novelty of having one of my favourite games of all time handheld tho.

It's always been possible, even in old school Tetris there was a brief window of time before it "hit." Modern Tetris definitely gives you a bigger window before the piece locks, though.
