Augus posted:What’s the deal with the difficulty settings in the Pikmin 3 demo? I‘m playing on Hard and it doesn’t seem any different than the Wii U version of the game. That's because it's not, "normal" is actually a new easy mode, ultra-spicy is the actual hard mode.

It's so stupid that you can only do one 6-game set in Mario Tennis Aces. It's also stupid that you're forced to use a split-screen in multiplayer. The special shots are also stupid and unfair. I just wanted to play a simple game of tennis.

I know Mario Galaxy looks great because it has wonderful graphics at 60 fps but it's also because it doesn't have the irritating heatwave effect from Sunshine. Game is phenomenal and while I enjoyed Sunshine, I'm definitely glad I played that before Galaxy. Those stars and penguins are so drat adorable.Snake Maze posted:That's because it's not, "normal" is actually a new easy mode, ultra-spicy is the actual hard mode. drat I missed this and played on normal during the demo. Can you switch mid-game? Guessing I should pop that hard mode on. Social Animal fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Oct 26, 2020 |

LODGE NORTH posted:Specifically the Satisfye grip. Not just "a grip" but that specific one. I had the Skull & Co one which still looks the nicest to me, but the form it creates still leaves a lot to be desired. The Satisfye is asymmetrical, so it does...something...to make it way nicer to hold. Had a look at this and it seems great, but doesn't seem available in the UK.

I bought this: https://www.satisfye.com/collections/switchgrip-pro-bundle/products/zengrip-pro-elite Or something similar. Wanted a case that could handle the grip as well and it's pretty big. But they shipped to Finland so I don't see why they wouldn't ship to the UK.

If worse comes to worst, one of us can order it from the US and hopefully the mail still gets through - send it to you for at cost. That said, international shipping is ah. Pricey.

Pricey. Yeah it did become pretty expensive after shipping but it is so worth it. With one of those smaller dock shells I don't need to remove the grip to dock it and the dock fits in the case! The power supply though, is another matter.

Thanks to elderly bigots going into cardiac arrest whenever they think about Polish shops or mixed-race marriages, no-one will be shipping to the UK once the Brexit VAT changes roll in. Get your imports now if you want them. https://twitter.com/paullewismoney/status/1319187075678220288?s=21 https://twitter.com/quixoticgeek/status/1319212560751693825?s=21

And even if it doesn't specifically target UK-based exporters, the oncoming customs/border catastrofuck is going to mess up anything going in and out for months at best. Still though, if it means no strange foreign muck like oranges or rice on the shop shelves, at least Doris and Nigel will be happy for the remaining five to six years of their lives.

If I'm looking to play on the "standard" difficulty, I will reach for Normal, because that's what the standard difficulty has traditionally been called. Devs have been shying way from "Easy" as a difficulty because giant babbies refuse to use "easy" when they're having a rough time, because easy mode is for babies and I'm not a baby! So they struggle, and then bitch about it online and/or leave a game bad reviews. I object to the naming convention.

Scourgebringer came out today and it's pretty tight. It's from the same developers that made Neurovoider, and the pixel art is great. I've only played the demo so far, and the movement reminds me of Celeste, kinda? Lots of wall jumping and air dashing, etc. Really fast paced. I'll get it when it goes on sale and add it to my rogue-like collection.

If the easiest mode is still balls-hard but there are two even tougher ones should it be called "easy" just because it's the least hard?

The Bloop posted:Oh I see this is like the Medium, Large, Extra-Large thing Yes. Normal strongly implies it's the intended difficulty and if there isn't one just leave it as Easy Hard Hardest. Or Hard Harder Hardest, or whatever variation. Normal really just means this is the difficulty that the developers intended with none of the benefits of an easier mode or the detriments of a harder one. So with Pikmin 3 I would play Normal and even if it's easier I would presume that this was the true difficulty the developers wanted the game to be experienced at and well, for all we know, it is.

I knew a guy who would play literally everything on the hardest difficulty first time (dunno why, either to extend the life of it or a weird flex I guess) which seems like it would be a very hit or miss way to live, depending on how the devs chose to add difficulty to their game

It's their choice what "normal" is because they designed the game In this case the game was literally built around hard difficulty, because that was the only difficulty in the original release. I’m not a fan of the renamed difficulties just because unless you specifically look it up online you’ll probably assume normal is the Wii-U difficulty. They could also fix it by just putting a note in the description of hard difficulty that it’s the difficulty from the Wii-U release. I don’t really care about some abstract “what should difficulties in games be called” question but I do think there’s a specific bit of confusion here that could be avoided.

We have the demo, and in it hard mode matches the Wii-U release while normal mode is easier (enemies have less health, days are longer, etc) I guess it’s possible there’s changes past the demo that make the comparison less clear, but honestly I think assuming hard is the Wii-U difficulty is the simplest assumption.

I don't know why anyone would do traditional romhacking where you have to play around in the ROM's limited space when you can do this

Regardless of whether they're "trying to trick" anyone, it's easy to avoid problems like the person above who intended to play a harder version of the game he'd already played, but accidentally has been playing the same version, because they relabeled "normal" to "hard".
