Where does the Witcher 3 fall on the difficulty curve? I’m bouncing off dark souls at the boss at the end of anor Londo. I guess I have less of an appetite for “gettin gud” then I did back in college. I don’t mind dying or a decent challenge but dark souls is just kinda pissing me off and the more story centric vibe of Witcher sounds like just what the doctors ordered

I bounced hard on Witcher's difficulty like 3 times. Then the 4th time, determined to get into the damned thing I chucked it on story mode until the game "clicked". Now I am on top difficulty and not struggling much at all. If you're good at games, normal (story and sword) is probably fine! I'm bad at games.

It has multiple difficulty levels ranging from 'don't care about anything but the story' to 'gently caress you'. It's pretty easy on normal once you get a few skills.

Cartoon Man posted:Been playing the Mario Kart Home Circuit today that Santa brought my daughter. As an AR videogame is amazing what they’ve accomplished, but it’s janky and kinda hard to beat the AI. As a toy, it’s fun as hell and highly recommended. You’re gonna want a decent sized living room to set it up in. My daughter loves it so far. She’s using it to drive all her other toys and figures around... I don't have anyone else to play it with during the pandemic, but I kind of want to buy a kart just to bother my cat.

Also put me in the 'witcher 3 gameplay mechanics felt like total poo poo on normal, put it on story and finished the game on hard' camp Weird game in terms of how it feels to play for sure Does the switch version of Overwatch have any kind of active playerbase? I saw a 'physical' copy dirt cheap and was thinking of picking it up because I really do like it but also the other console versions are dead as poo poo and I don't want to buy something to find out nobody is actually playing it

Despite the mixed responses I got in this thread, I decided to pick up Octopath Traveler. After 30 minutes, though, it still hasn't started downloading. I assume this is a result of high traffic today, but has anyone else experienced this?

Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this, but: my partner got a Switch for Christmas and is having trouble downloading a gifted game through the eShop. She's created an account and redeemed the game code (so the 'Redownload' button shows up), but whenever she starts the download nothing happens. The button changes to say 'download started' but nothing appears on the home screen and on going back into the eShop just shows the download button again. I'm kind of confused as to what's going wrong

The download probably won't start if you're playing another game. Is that it?

is there any trick to finding secrets in Doom 1? I feel like I can spot one or two but the others feel impossible to pick out. Just shoot or press A on everything?

There is often something subtle like a slightly different texture on a wall but yeah for such a non stop game it's secrets are pretty well hidden

Some have hints in the texture work but sometimes the answer is: walk through this invisible trigger 2 rooms over and run back before the wall closes back again or something equally absurd. Not to mention iirc theres at least one properly bugged secret that took like 20 years for people heavily obsessed with the game to figure out how to obtain legitimately. Personally I love hunting for secrets in games but at a certain point with a doom level I will just look it up online.

A lot of the secrets rely completely on sound cues, so it helps if you're playing with headphones and can tell what direction sounds are coming from.

i wish they’d just loving port geometry wars to switch already. just played debris infinity for a bit and it ain’t cutting it. it just doesn’t feel anywhere as chaotic. also, it feels slower. anything else out there that’s a good switch substitute for geometry wars?

Achmed Jones posted:i've popped 4 or 5 balloons in animal crossing since the christmas event went live and still haven't got a single one of the recipes. little jones really wanted to build a christmas tree, so this is disappointing This happened with me with the fall recipes! I was looking forward to making a mushroom basement, but didn't get a single mushroom (or maple leaf) recipe despite playing for a few hours every day.  It really bummed me out, like "Oh okay, guess I can't take part in one of the main features of changing seasons!"fit em all up in there posted:How’s Paradise Killer ? I believe someone already answered this, but I love it. I'm only about halfway through it, but as soon as I heard "Vaporwave murder mystery", I couldn't buy it fast enough. I do like that it's quite open-ended. I believe the culprit is always the same (although I could be wrong!), but you can accuse whoever and the game won't give you a "Game over" screen like DanganRonpa or Phoenix Wright might. Similarly, you can explore and find clues in the order and level-of-thoroughness that you choose. Stylistically, it's got a little bit of The Silver Case (Suda51's visual novel) mixed in with some DanganRonpa (characters are flat portraits in a 3D world, etc.). It also features one of my favorite video game songs in 2020...just listen to those synths. @.@ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwdpF3H_3h0
