You're watching the game in question being played, during which part of the process do things break down for you guys where your brain can no longer make basic connections? No strong opinions on Gooigi Manson III but combat doesn't look especially engaging. I like the vibe of these games though so I'll probably get to it after DQXI By then the overly polarized reviews should be obvious so win win

Or you could turn just your monitor on, its a Mario game! Sure some games lend themselves less well to just being seen but I don't think Luigi's Mansion is especially novel or new or challenging to understand just from watching it. Unless I'm missing something obvious it seems pretty straightforward

sWitcher 3 does feel like you're constantly fighting against the character animations, which is annoying, but the game is still really good! I got to the audience with the emperor but beforehand some chamberlain dude was asking me all sorts of questions about people I hadn't heard of; "did you kill McJibberjabber?", it seemed like the game thought I should know all these people's names (I'm guessing they're from past witcher games?). I just bullshitted my way through it. Does it matter?

I thought the Luigi theme and music might make hanging in for the last few players in Tetris99 less tense. It does not  . Managed to last until I was the 13th player left before getting bodied with trash though.

Nintendo has done a greatest hits release of their games for the last few generations, but I’d be willing to bet it won’t be until next year at the earliest, to dampen the release of PS5 and Scarlet.

The Switch Lite makes sense as being much like the 2DS; goons with disposable income and/or no life aren't necessarily the target market. Since the Switch is designed to work perfectly well without a TV or detached controllers, a lot of expensive features can be stripped for a model that's as affordable as possible.

That would be sick We might see the Nintendo Selects thing come back where a handful of titles get price cuts, but that would be next year at the earliest. In the short term, last year Nintendo had sales for black Friday, Christmas, and New year's, and put first party titles to $40 each time.

punk rebel ecks posted:How good is River City Girls? i played through it once with the default characters in local co-op mode. all the story scenes are kind of embarrassing and seem like they were written by/for people who attend anime conventions. that said, the gameplay is good - - particularly the combo system, and especially when you're trying to figure out how to coreograph a kill combo with your co-op partner. took us about 5 hours to clear, and beating the game once unlocks 2 more characters. I think it was 30 bucks, and that's fair if you have someone to play with. if I were planning on playing it solo I don't think it would be as good

I got the witcher 3 but immediately rode my horse into a lake and I didn't understand the story. this is why i played it on pc with invincibility and the power to warp anywhere and skipped all the dialog. the Nintendo switch, this is gods perfect console honk lmao

It would be fascinating to me to see how goons actually move through the real world. Like this guy actually runs in a giant U-turn every time he turns around? He's never ever before just actually turned around?
