Really? There's somewhere else I can go? I thought I had to go down there and ring the second bell. I can't see where else I'd go from the first bonfire (firelink?)

Dark Souls is infamous for making it easy for the player to go in the wrong direction, especially since "everyone says it's super hard!" so people ignore their instinct that something is amiss. There are some other areas you can explore around the Undead Burg and Undead Parish.

Going straight from Firelink Shrine to the Skeleton Fun Zone is a rite of passage by this point.

My son and I just finished Broforce. I played it solo , “finished” it, and somehow never even got to the alien invasion parts.  Is there anything even remotely similar? He also loved Streets of Rogue.

After updating them, now just one of them doesn't connect. It works fine if I plug it in via USB to the switch dock though.

I’m about 15 hours into Dragon Quest XI and have been using auto battle most of the time. At this point it feels like I’m just watching the game instead of playing. Do you all use this or switch back and forth in certain situations?

Fly Ricky posted:My son and I just finished Broforce. I played it solo , “finished” it, and somehow never even got to the alien invasion parts. I mean if you want a beat 'em up get Streets of Rage 4 (and reading this again I just remembered that's not what Streets of Rogue is at all like). Still get Streets of Rage 4.

Personally I find a fun way to approach that is to control the hero manually and have everyone else set to auto.

It’s a form of relaxation and brings me joy to see the numbers go up after putting in “effort”.

Do you all use this or switch back and forth in certain situations? Skip more battles to underlevel a little bit, so every fight gets more challenging and meaningful. I auto battled less and less as the game went on, mostly to preserve MP. re: 8bitdo pairing, my Pro+ confused me for months until I noticed that I was booting the controller on the wrong mode all the time. A particular button combination boots into Windows mode, another for Switch, and so on, and if you just press start it will automatically attempt to boot into the last used setting. Hell my PC will pair to it in either mode, and the inputs change accordingly from Nintendo to Xbox style. beer gas canister fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Dec 1, 2021 |

Nuclear Thrones only problem and it really isn't one, is that it has no perma-upgrades, that's just us getting spoiled off of that feature in other games. It's a true-blue arcade shooter. You go in and you better be getting better. I wouldn't have minded a life-system to see the full game, since I've never actually been able to beat it, but it's still fun as all heck. A bit too hectic for a phone game, but it can pull it off.

I like nuke thrones take on the roguelite formula with fewer persistent upgrades (aside from characters, iirc) and wish more games would do that. unlocking the good poo poo in ETG just sounds exhausting when I think about replaying.

I've only beaten Nuclear Throne twice, and I always get vaporized on the next part. It's tough going back to Throne sometimes after being spoiled by Hades, but it's a choice between story, or five minutes of  NT has it's own depth to it with shortcuts and secrets. It's gonna be a while before I unlock Skeleton. I'm not good with Melting.

I did a Everything Hurts Melting run, and then a Venuz run where I one-shotted the Throne, and then I stopped because it was going to be all downhill from there

All the secret levels in Nuclear throne blew me away. I looked it up once to see why I sometimes end up in a sewer level with four turtles and a rat and a whole world opened up.
