loudog999 posted:Split Pad users, what games do you find yourself taking them off and going back to joy-cons? Like I said, I barely use my old ones but I’ll be damned if I take the Mega Man one off unless I really have to. I’m guessing most with motion control. Personally I would need motion in Resident Evil 4, Quake, Dusk, maybe the Dooms. Anything else I’m missing? Splatoon I guess but I haven’t played that forever. I last used Joycons for Skyward Sword and Great Ace Attorney, but mostly because it was easier to have them attached to charge since I'd use them when in docked mode. They're great for Monster Hunter. They've saved me so many hand cramps.

Detective No. 27 posted:Maybe they're covering their asses or something, but docking feels no different from docking when I had my previous Switch with the pro pads. I even just now checked to see if maybe it doesn't sit flush but the Switch sits on the dock the same either way. It's always charged fine, hasn't lost connection during a docked session or acted weird.

I cannot believe people play handheld mode with joycons for any appreciable amount of time. It's so uncomfortable.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I'm getting back into Animal Crossing in a huge way, and one of the things that I appreciate about it is just how insanely customizable it all is. I remember when I started playing, I was sitting at a table in my house, with custom album art put up as posters, listening to a few of my KK songs on my stereo, while I designed my Nook phone case to resemble a ghost trap from Ghostbusters. Shiiiiiit that's a really awesome cafe! I should boot the game back up up and finish out my music studio idea (and cringe at the amount of weeds).

Having tried both, I liked the Split Pad Pro a lot more than the Satisfye grip, though that's probably a matter of personal preference I also have large, unwieldy sasquatch hands so that could be part of it

Someone in the AC thread said you can pay Leif 100k to get rid of all of your weeds. I didn't play for about 6 months and it honestly wasn't too bad to clean up manually, but if you're still rich from turnips or something it's nice there's a shortcut.

Pro tip: You can use gyro in Quake with the Hori splitpad, because we setup the gyro correctly (you are supposed to use the one inside the Switch itself while in handheld mode).

Quantum of Phallus posted:RPS was good for a while when it was the old UK PCZone/Gamer staff but it absolutely sucks now https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/latest?page=1787 Optimus Crime Alec Meer 14 years ago I'm preaching to the converted I'm sure, but whatever you do, do not buy, play or even pirate the Transformers game. It's no worse on PC than any other platform, but it is quite astonishingly dreadful. Part of the reason for this I lay not at the feet of the developers (Travellers Tales, best-known for the diminishingly excellent Lego Star Wars series, but in fact with a history of horrific licensed titles behind them) but at the nature of the game. Medal Of Honor: Airborne Demo Jim Rossignol 14 years ago You can download it from here, at the princely size of 1.3gb. Word on the street (well, in the pub at least) is that this is a pretty good iteration of the soldier series, at least offering some competition for the mighty Call of Duty games. Airborne contains lots of hot parachuting action, violence against Nazis, and broad levels to allow you some shooting freedom in an otherwise linear action game. Huff huff, or whatever it is American soldiers say. Jumping out of a plane: Manly. Space Oddities Kieron Gillen 14 years ago Spent last week reviewing UFO: Extraterrestrials for Eurogamer. Ended up being very mildly warm towards it, which was more than I was expecting. Because it's taking from such a well-conceived source - UFO: Enemy Unknown or X-COM: UFO Defence, depending on whether you're in Europe or the US*, it ends up often being highly entertaining because it's such a determined plagiarist. And God knows, everyone would like a decent successor to the Gollops' masterpiece. I suppose that's one of the most interesting things about it. While true, it's not really fair to paint them as just plagarists. They're more akin to a covers band for a group who've long split. While other people have taken some stuff from X-COM - the UFO: Afterlight/Aftershock/Aftermath series - this is something that's deliberately much more faithful. Even then, it's not good enough. There's a determined mod community around the game who are increasingly altering closer and closer and closer to what they're actually looking for. In most mod communities, there's a clear division between the developers and people who like the game enough to want to mod it... but here, perversely, the fanbase for the game aren't actually the fanbase for the game. They're actually the fanbase of an entirely different game... exactly the same as the developers. They're like the Rabbis in Pi, searching for the name of God by re-arranging the alphabet of whatever. Of course, it's interesting to wonder whether "A New X-Com" is even achievable.

loudog999 posted:But where are the Mega Man designs hidden on them? From our own, Turok2 and Strife, plus any titles released from now as it's now part of our pipeline. Turok1 and Doom64 predate our understanding of how it worked, and Turok2 got updated because of our crossplay updates (though I may go back and fix it in Turok1 if I ever get bored). I'm yet to find or hear of any of game that gets this right (though I haven't looked, outside of the obvious ones like Doom 2016).

It's said that the remapping of the IR based controls of Prime 2/3 to stick/gyro is likely much more complicated than anyone thought and everyone just claiming it was for sure coming out any day was an idiot rumormonger with no real sources. The latest rumor is that an enhanced version of Prime 1 is in the pipeline for release sometime before 4 comes out, similar to how Skyward Sword HD came out last year to help fill the gap while waiting for BOTW2.

It's very good. I hope they add more playable characters and maps/games. They've been pretty generous with their free updates with other games but idk I can't get a feel for what their plan with Superstars is going forward.

You can play the Metroid Prime trilogy 100% fine today with a controller or kb&m on emulator (in fact it rules). It's hardly an insurmountable obstacle. Also yeah new Mario Party rules, multi was flawless for me except for some slow players.

poo poo POST MALONE posted:I cannot believe people play handheld mode with joycons for any appreciable amount of time. It's so uncomfortable. I find it very comfortable. Playing joycons akimbo means my hands can be wherever and they can fit in my hands however feels comfortable. Often that means a relaxed cupped hand that just happens to have fingers where they need to be for buttons, as comfortable as just having an empty hand. With controllers/handhelds I instinctively grip them tighter even if I don't need to for the weight, and with my large hands that gets painful after a while unless it's a properly large controller. The great thing about multiple controller options is that everyone can pick what works for them. Edit: I just noticed you specified handheld mode. I do play using my handheld screen a lot but with the joycons detached. With them attached it's heavy enough that I have the grip issues I mentioned.
