Why are you even in this thread
Because I have a Switch and will play it again (I do actually intend to finish Let's Go Eevee since I just bought that), but since I got a PS5 it hasn't seen much action. I'd like to play Metroid Dread at some point. I have also played a significant amount of Super Mario Party and Mario Kart but not on my account (the 0 hours of playing it this year is undoubtedly me accidentally starting it on my account and then realizing nothing is unlocked there).

I've replaced joy con sticks fine, but does anyone have experience replacing the rubber part of the stick on the Pro controller? My rabbit nibbled on it and it's annoying to use now. Does the rubber just come off? I don't really wanna try pulling it without knowing I can put a new one on easily.

Show me yours and I'll show you mine. :colbert:

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 ...

How is PGA2k21 on Switch? The PS5 version requires an always active internet connection to play, and when I tried it because it was free with PS+, the servers kept going down during play, disabling all game modes, and causing the game to get stuck in forever loading screens.

Aren't they saying it came out on something else other than the Switch, so they played it instead?

Come on guys. It has like one game

I am loving catching up on my PS4 library with mostly consistent performance upgrades across the board though, Nioh 2 ps5 is so loving good probably the most intense rewarding action game I've ever played.

I'm using a crappy 300 dollar tcl and am constantly shocked at how good my games look even on my wal Mart rear end tv, might have to treat myself to an OLED tv this xmas

Nintendo would have gotten more playtime if they would simply have done the right thing and bribed Atlus enough to bring P5R, P4G and P3P to the switch, and hell maybe PS2 Devil Summoner and Digital Devil Saga. The company is run by id*ots.

I consider returnal the first true PS5 / next gen game and it's incredibly good for people who enjoy rogue lites. There's quite a bit of metroid and mega man DNA in there too, so I think it'd be pretty popular with the switch crowd.

As for Atlus RPGs yah no idea why they haven't drowned the eShop with lazy ports, they were pretty active with the Nintendo DS /3DS. I would pay full price for most of their catalog those bastards know I would

Plus didn't smtv end up breaking sales records for the franchise and nocturne sold pretty well? Wtf Atlus smh my head

the switch version also requires an internet connection but i've never personally experienced any server trouble. the biggest problem is that the swing timing mechanic is busted on switch. i suspect this is due to the fact that the game was developed in unity, which as i understand it ties input polling to framerate, and the switch version seems to mostly run at about 25 fps, so it's not picking up your stick movement with enough precision to accurately track your swing speed. pretty much every swing ends up in one of three spots on the swing timing meter and none of them is ever in the sweet spot. i also own the game on ps4, where it runs at a solid 60fps and this problem doesn't exist. i really like the game otherwise and i still have fun with the switch version by just turning swing timing off and cranking swing difficulty to max, so it doesn't matter how fast i push the stick but i have to be very very precise with my angle. it's definitely a major point against the switch version though and i wouldn't recommend it unless you really really want to play handheld

That is an egregiously bad feature to have made it through development. What a disaster.

it sure is. i got the switch version first and something seemed off from minute 1 with the swing timing but i thought it was just the way it was, that it was supposed to be nearly impossible to hit a perfect shot and you were meant to compensate with your aim. i played it that way for quite a while before the ps4 version went on sale and i discovered how the game is actually supposed to play

To be fair, it does sound much more like actual golf. Your shot has a low probability of being good, and a high probability of going where-the-gently caress-ever

probably because the switch is counting the time the game is active and the save file doesn't count a lot of things. also if you reload or maybe even go back to a checkpoint the time wouldn't get counted. cheers

Everything I've seen about that game makes it look like it's really up my alley, and it will be the reason I eventually get a ps5. The main character really gives me Samus vibes, in the sense that she's a spacelady sprinting around blasting everything

It's so good, tough space woman having to survive a hostile nightmare alien environment is extremely Metroid, as is the running around collecting resources as you prep for that biome's boss

You feel so agile too, when you have your full tool set, it plays exactly how my dream Mega Man X4/Zero game but made with 2021 graphical fidelity standards and 3d would play. Movement wise anyways, the structure is more of a rogue lite
