Also during the turret section some of them just stopped shooting so I had to go through four more fights with adds because I wasn't doing damage fast enough. I don't feel like it's as obviously bad after that, there's just points where its like "no Venom don't attack the random dude on the other side of the Screen when the boss is stunned and I want to use a synergy attack"

I heard the new Fire Emblem wasn't supposed to have good dialogue from some early review but this is better than the 3ds ones which weren't bad and it's been fun and more interesting than just a map of encounters. The owls help sell that Harry Potter vibe but there are also cats and dogs wandering around.

MechaSeinfeld posted:I can't listen to the audio rn but am I seeing correctly that the switch version of dqb2 can drop to single digit frames. Yeah, in the really complex user made worlds. This isn't surprising considering the game seems to render almost exactly the same on both the PS4 version and the Switch version. It's actually pretty impressive that the Switch version isn't even worse in extreme situations like that considering the game can bring the PS4 Pro down to sub 20 FPS in similar situations. Really the game needs optimization on both platforms.

Started Dark Souls. It's good. I'm not 100% sold on it yet, but I do like the palpable sense of danger. I figure a good gauge of "Get out of here!" is when you can barely scratch an enemy right? I managed to pick up some good weapons, I think?, this way before running away/dying after realizing I had no business in a place. The mystery of the whole game is both nice and annoying. It's cool that you don't anything about the world and it's all discovery, and on the other hand, some explanation about the systems and what items do would go a long way. I'm currently at at the first boss in undead burg. I've died 5 or 6 times. It's not a big deal, and I'm sure I'll get the timing of the rolling right, but it's still a bit tedious to go through all the mooks every single time. It's not exactly a boss rush, but it's a bit like The Darker Side in Odyssey. Maybe you're just bad at one part but you still have to go through everything again every time. Especially since, you can't really face-tank or just sprint past all of them, so you have to take the time to fight them, lick your wounds, and then try the boss again. I'm worried that that's going to get old fast, especially since I heard that was fixed in later games. Do weapons outclass one another? I figure that the game is mostly about weapon styles. I really enjoy fighting with a spear I picked up so far, though I think I found a stronger Straight Sword. I leveled up enough to use it but I think I prefer the poking things from a distance so far. Last, is the combat comparable to Monster Hunters? Because if so, I think I'd be willing to try it out. Combat in Dark Souls is clunky but it's good. There's a real danger and risk in every fight and it feels brutal. I imagine for someone who has a 3DS and a Switch the advisable game is the Switch one right? Nicaden posted:Heads up folks, apparently Pillars of Eternity 1 is coming to the Nintendo Switch in August and it’s the complete edition with all the dlc. I don’t know if the website is reliable but it’s saying that you can preorder it on the EU eShop already so EU goons can probably check to confirm. That's pretty cool. I just beat it finally earlier this summer and I don't see myself beating it again. The battle system is good but I found it too detailed for my simple mind. I eventually beat it in Story (ultra easy) mode just to see the rest of the story, which I genuinely liked. It's got great fantasy writing and I really liked the ending of the game. I'd definitely get the sequel, if only for the world-building, also it seems the sequel has a turn-based mode which intrigues me. I think 44 euro for the whole package is a good deal, that's only made worse cause it's way cheaper on other consoles, if you like this type of game and fantasy plotlines. That said, while I do think it'd be cosy to play in bed and read things, I fear the lots of text will be too small. Reality Sinner posted:What ever happened to the Pillars 2 switch release? Yeah, this is the one I'm waiting on. It's not worth getting the first one again just for "continuity" so I'll live without my save transferring over.

It's cool that you don't anything about the world and it's all discovery, and on the other hand, some explanation about the systems and what items do would go a long way. It's always cool reading first-time impressions of Dark Souls. I'm far from an authority on the game, but one thing that really helps to learn is that your roll has a good amount of invincibility frames, or i-frames. When you get a feel for how long the invincibility window is, you can start rolling through enemy attacks left and right and get right up against them, rather than blocking with a shield or rolling away completely out of melee range. There are different types of rolls, too, depending on your encumbrance level. If you're wearing a lot, your roll will be really long and slow, but unequip all your armor and it'll come out lightning-fast.

Quantum of Phallus posted:No no, you will find shortcuts! The map does seem intricately designed. So that's cool and good. I tried taking some alternative paths aside from this first boss and got wrecked. There's some dude wielding a weird curved cone in the bottom of the same tower. I can avoid him easily enough, but I hardly hurt him, to the point it doesn't seem worth it to plink away at him, when one hit destroys you. The other is some black knight looking guy just down some stairs, on the way to the same tower. I feel like I should be able to beat him because he's really not in a tough area at all, but I can't. He's guarding an item I'd like to get at, but again it's a tough fight and I don't seem to do any damage to him, when two hits is enough to off me. The knight seems harder if only because he moves far faster. My other plan is to just get him to chase me and then to steal the thing he was guarding, but at some point I need to actually fight things.

Which of the games in the Street Fighter collection should we be playing? There are so many it’s hard to choose. Also not recommended to play these games on separate joycons. God my palms hurt. Buying an adapter so I can hook my DualShock up to it.

I don't remember if Awakening uses the same system as Fates or not but aside from the beginning of the game, there should be an option in the settings menu for difficulty which lets you switch to casual mode (as well as go down in difficulty, but you can't go up).

I haven't played anything that controls like Resident Evil 4 in a very long time, and for the last four years the only shooter I've played is motion-controlled Splatoon. My brain was not very happy about about going back.
