I think it’s going to be his shortest review yet and all of this is meta commentary on the delays and feature bloat, and then when it comes out it will mirror the game’s disappointing release.

Outer Wilds is fantastic. Just utterly fantastic. Last night I think I made a ton of discoveries. Got some new theories from it all! Still have a few big things to try and find as well! Still got two quantum lessons to learn - one I know where it is but do not have the knowledge of how to get there yet, the other I think might be on Ember Twin but have not found it yet. I must complete this game and learn all of its secrets!  My jetpacking was still pretty shoddy but I did manage a few nice saves. Even being swept up by Ash Twin a couple of times I managed to get back down to where I wanted to be.

I paid $3 for Tomb Raider and it's really good lol Kind of like how linear and focused and fast paced it is, starting to think I don't actually like open worlds that much

Even if they were working on one at some point, which seems likely, they obv haven’t been for a while the fallout has been glorious. subreddits are on fire. resetera have gone civil war on the insiders.

acksplode posted:Nintendo wouldn't release an upgraded Switch without first releasing a minor revision that everyone regrets buying once the full upgrade is announced soon afterward, so I basically took the news as confirmation that Switch Pro is gonna be here in a year or two. nope. they are going full 8-10 year life span with the switch, any upgraded switch will basically be the next console they do. there will never be a "pro" like rumoured. there will be a super switch that is bc with normal switch and it will tank like the wii u. i have foreseen this. nothing they can do tho lmao, not like they can call it something else and its not like they are going back to pure tv only either, but they need avoid wii u mistake thats for sure.

If they were going to make the Switch Pro at any point in the next two years, they would have to start literally TODAY because of how difficult chips are to produce and distribute these days.

i think i need some help with sekiro. i’m at a point where i have two options for boss fights and they’re both very hard: general tenzen or juzou the drunkard. tenzen seems more manageable at this time since he has a safer arena and no status attack, but picking off all of his guys without alerting him so i can hit him with a sneak attack takes a really long time. juzou’s fight is the same deal where there are like eight dudes hanging around that there’s no way i can handle while trying not to get killed by a boss. i imagine these aren’t the only boss encounters set up like this and they will only get harder, so what’s the move here? just pick ‘em all off every time and hope for the best? the hardest thing about this game is unlearning everything i learned from dark souls. i’ve been trying to fight these guys like souls bosses where i hang back, wait for them to whiff, then run in and punish, but obviously that doesn’t do poo poo for wearing down their posture. i need to train myself to stand my ground and keep guarding

Those guys are both technically optional- the drunkard area is a side area not required for story progress (the game really does not make this clear) and you don't have to engage the general to continue past him For the general, yeah, you want to go around killing all the other dudes before taking him on. Near the bridge there's a place to drop down that will reset everyone's aggro so you can run away and jump back up if things get out of hand. Or you can turn around and keep going in that direction and do that encounter later, the rest of the game is past that dropdown. There are other minibosses like that but none of them are required to be killed the moment you find them For the drunkard fight there are 2 ways to make it easier: -if you go around to the left you can find a hallway that lets you pull off his minions in batches until the field is clearer -there is a friendly samurai hiding on the right side of the lake. if it's only you, him, and the boss he's a good distraction And yes, blocking is an integral part of the game and not using it will make things much harder and more time-consuming

Nintendo is in the business of making $$ for Nintendo. They are not there to make people happy. The Switch is selling like crazy right now. Arguably better than at any other time in it's lifespan. There is no good business reason for Nintendo to stop that at this time. The Switch has a legit shot at outselling the PS2 and the DS. It's going to fly past 100 million sold this year or early next year. They aren't competing with anyone. Sony and MS are direct competitors so need to keep pushing the bleeding edge. Nintendo just needs to do the bare minimum to scrape by, so that is what they do. A couple good games a year and an old as poo poo tech handheld that you can connect to your TV. It really sucks for fans who have stuck by them for years.

Bust Rodd posted:“As a huge fan of Nintendo for my entire life, I’m pretty disappointed that they are behaving exactly the same as they have for my entire life” This isn't true, though. The Wii is the first instance of them mailing it in. But during the Wiis heyday, there were a lot of releases and some innovation. The Switch is by far the worst, though.

OLED screens are cool and good until you get burn-ins because they don't bother using a good quality one that lasts more than a year and a half.
