Uh I guess the seven enemies and two bosses I played were okay

I don't need an 80 hour epic but an rpg I beat before lunch time is really pathetic. People enjoyed this piece of poo poo? There was one town in the entire game. And it had like three houses and two npcs. I guess it was slightly WaCKy which is all you need to be a viral hit these days.

Seriously if somebody made this in RPG Maker I'd call it a piece of poo poo. This being an actual retail release is loving amazing.

lol

I haven't got any of the doom games on switch except 64 but it would be extremely funny if 1 and 2 had it but 2016 and Eternal didnt tbh

Yeah these are just Binboks, they�re decent. I�ve been using them for like 2 months with no issues. I know a few other people itt are using them too

They're OK, I use them. The rumble is pretty bad, and I initially had to do some futzing around with the firmware bc the + and - buttons weren't working right, but they have a nice feel in my hands and they work pretty well for me now. (and I like the glowing joysticks)

Yes to the first question, I don't know to the second one cause I don't have them yet, but I know a bunch of people have said they do wake it up. They also have turbo and a third programmable rear button on each side

I refuse to buy anything on Amazon with those fake randomly generated corporation names. Pretty much guaranteed the company doesn't give a poo poo about their reputation when two months later they can just rename themselves to BLORKCON and RASNORT.

The other versions are better but if you need it portable it's fine. Obvious issues with it not being 60fps but I completed it without too many complaints

Persona 5 strikers isn't that long. It's totally more a 75 hour game than a 150 hour game. Practically casual

Finally conceding to the stick drift that has made both my left joycon and my Pro Controller more or less unusable for anything where I can't just play without touching it like Picross and ordered an 8bitdo Pro 2. Also some contact cleaner spray to see if that fixes either of the old ones, which maybe I should have tried a while ago, but whatever.

It's a good length, it just isn't "monopolizing your time for a solid month" like persona 5 is lol

HDMI splitters (not the passive ones) are useful in that they tend to strip HDCP,.which has some good use cases. But products that do so violates HDMI licensing, so it's unsurprising they tend to get sold by fly-by-night outfits.

Otherwise, this is kind of the nature of Shenzhen gray-market electronics. They're not really based on brand or reputation, but recognizing a product as a specific clone model and looking up reports about them. Personally I tend to prefer to purchase branded products but occasionally there's things that just aren't made elsewhere at all. Fat joycons is apparently one of those things.

Twelve by Pies: May 4, 2012; Again a very likpatous story

I think I ended up around 60-some hours for P5 Strikers but I also did all the requests and secret bosses and such, if you just want to play the story and ignore the side stuff then yeah 40 or 50 hours sounds about right.

It goes on sale for 50% off every few months. As a rule of thumb never buy a Switch game at full price (unless its Nintendo, then it will never go on sale)

Switch tax

Most Switch games go on sale except Nintendo ones where you might get it for 30% off once a year

Tampa Bae: Aug 23, 2021; Please, this is all I have

My sister borrowed Dragon Quest XI to "See if she liked it" (she did) and I probably won't see it until around Christmas so I picked up Final Fantasy X/X-2 on sale from Gamestop (And used a $10 coupon so I only paid $10 total for it)

What are things I need to know before I dive in here, things I need to remember for later, just general things that will make my life easier?
