Who is the audience for this. There are already 5467825 ways to buy doom

Limited Run fans. The company offers some fun collectibles but the downside is that they prey on FOMO and when you do order your product it costs like 2-3x the retail cost of the game naturally and you won't see it in your hands until 9 months after ordering.

This is Bethesda though, so it will be a 2gb cart with an additional 4-6gb download for Doom 3.

Limited Run already sold a standalone version of Doom 64, so they probably don’t want to piss off the collector nerds by including it in this package.

For anyone looking to fill the BotW shaped holes in their hearts I heartily recommend Immortals. Or I should say, my wife does because she's been playing it non-stop for the past 2 days. The art style definitely holds up to the port downgrades and it seems to run really solid 30fps for the most part which is drat impressive work by Ubisoft

I thought it was going to work, got to the point where I was running the game on both Switches but once I tried to join the local lobby I got the error that the game or DLC can only be played on one console. I was wanting to play with my 7 year old, but I’m not sure she would like it so I’m not spending another $60.

It's really different from the non tactics FF games but tbh it's the best one apart from maybe 5 or 6 depending on who you ask

I get the impression project triangle is the closest we are going to get on the switch but I haven't played the demo yet so I'm unclear if that's accurate or not

I finally beat Crash Bandicoot 1 on my Nintendo Switch!!! Very rewarding platforms but definitely frustrating at some points. (High Road, Slippery Climb, I’m looking at you two) Proud of myself though.

Tapping into the second game already feels much more forgiving. That could be that it’s only the beginning, but the unlocked movement and slide/pound feel like substantial additions and the levels feel much more differentiated. Hope it’s easier, but not *too* easy.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

This happened to me. Make sure the things are properly connected. I somehow managed to shake one loose from its internal connection socket and got super confused when the battery on my still connected looking joycon was suddenly empty

I didn't care much for the tone of the FFTA games. It was a weird line to walk between cutesy and dramatic and I don't think they toed it very well. FE did a good job of being rather dour with moments of comedic relief and AW is amazing at selling how cool and good war is, even though they try to portray it as awful in the DS games, especially the last one. The gameplay is real good though.

Never having played FFT I'd like to try out it's more proper medieval setting.

Again a very likpatous story

Geo Fixer posted:

I heavily disagree but I can understand why. FFTA's "Neverending Story" plot is definitely more approachable (and more whimsical fun) than FFT's heavy political intrigue. The Law system, while it has its issues (gently caress No Knockback, the worst poo poo), adds slightly more challenge than FFT which is pretty easy to steamroll when you know what you're doing, aside from one or two hitches (mostly Riovanes). FFTA is also a bit more forgiving since you can't have party members die aside from in the Jagd, which is like three maps that you have no real reason to fight in once the story is over. And building the world map yourself is pretty fun and it's neat that there are a bunch of configurations you can do to get some real nice treasure.

That said I think A2 is definitely better than the original FFTA, though I personally consider both of them inferior to FFT. Ramza is hands down my favorite Final Fantasy protagonist, and I love the political stuff in it that to me is more interesting than FFTA's "wooo fun adventures in Ivalice!" or A2's...uh...whatever the plot of A2 was, aside from "Luso can't go home until the journal is filled." It's been like ten years since I've played it so I've kinda forgotten what was going on. I also really, really, really hate FFTA/A2's "you can only get abilities from equipment" thing, I much prefer the JP system in the original FFT.

FFTA and A2 make the the job system way way worse by making your leveling up stat growths heavily dependent on the class you are when leveling up (compared to FFT where the vast majority if your stats come from the class you are currently in, which makes it very flexible and encourages trying out stuff). This means that leveling up in any of the slow jobs just makes your character terrible compared to the slow ones. For example, A human leveled up mostly as a Ninja is about a billion times more effective than a human mostly leveled up as a paladin. You can't turn a character from a physical job into a magic job without gimping them either.

The whole point of the FF5/FFT style job system is flexibility so I have no idea why they did it that way

Yeah, if you haven't tried that yet, remove the joycons and re-attach them and see if they're charging. Might be that they're not quite connected right and re-seating them will fix the problem.

No Dignity

I've tried that and they seem to be charging now, but it seems an insane design flaw that they'll also lose their entire charge from 45 minutes of active use and then sitting idle for a couple of days, very annoying when I'm all prepped to do my pre work Ring Fit session and I just can't.

Anyway thanks for the advice, I'm loving praying these things get a hardware revision for the Switch Pro

I've always been a big fan of Fire Emblem for the sole reason that you can play a turn inside a calendar month. All the 3D camera games I've played with spell and skill menus are just so ponderously slow, and if you're a little trigger happy and prone to making mistakes like me losing half an hour or more of progress to a single battle is just torture
