Just make a new post for whatever overflows, then make a link in the OP to the new one like "click here for game recommendations" or whatever.

People were like "The switch will have no games" as if you need more then Smash Ultimate and Breath of the Wild??? and odyssey I gues.

And then they dropped Dread, SMT IV, Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter Rise all just like solid 10/10 games.

Replaying Paper Mario just makes me appreciate how much better it is than Thousand Year Door. Truly a masterclass game.

Jumpjet, melta, jumpjet. Repeat for ten minutes or until victory is assured.
Playing Freedom Planet for the first time. The gameplay is excellent, honestly I think it’s better than any of the Sonics I’ve played, the controls are very solid and so is the level design. I’m also a sucker for the more JRPG-styled music, and the bosses are wayyyy better than even Sonic Mania, that mantis was dope.

But holy poo poo this loving post-level 2 cutscene won’t ever end. It’s like someone took the old SNES Megaman cutscenes and made them take 20x as long. Just let me get back to playing, I don’t care about this overwrought anime nonsense you dropped me into!

Haven't played it in like 15 years and I'm loving it but I forgot how little the party members do in this. God drat is it super charming though.

I really wish I didn't sell TTYD cause drat that price went up. Come on Nintendo sell that back to us for $10 over the original retail price like you love to do.

Beat PICROSS S1. Bought Sega Picross. I may lose some QoL when I go back to two, but I like pixel art and the music is supposedly good. I know poo poo about Sega though aside from Streets of Rage.

i think there's a mode when you start the game to remove all the cutscenes. maybe you can switch it on at any time? normally i don't go in for that kind of thing but i did in this game because yeah the cutscenes are interminable and i was not engaged despite my best efforts

They don't have gyro, rumble, or Amiibo functionality and they don't have batteries so they need to be connected to the Switch to function. However, they have textured grips, programmable back buttons, turbo, and an excellent D-Pad. They're overall more comfortable to hold than the joycons, especially for long periods of time.

If you're looking for a solution for the joycons' terrible D-Pad they're great, mine haven't left my Switch since I got them. But be aware that they're not going to be able to completely replace joycons. If you're just looking for something with a better grip and don't care about the D-Pad then the Satisfye grip is probably more what you want.

The good thing about the switch is that if you ever need the joy con functionality you can just dig the joycons out of the cupboard and 'switch' em with the split pad pros

Games are supposed to use the Switch's built-in gyro in handheld mode and those that do work fine with the Split Pad Pro. It's a common mistake that games don't do this, but for example, Quake works correctly.

Hell of a feeling, isn't it? Unmatched in gaming, at least.

I mean, sure, sex is great and all, but have you built your own functional base in Subnautica? Hmmm?

I picked up Bloodstained awhile back and finally tried to start it up, and...I can't? After the 505 Games/Inti Creates movie and the CRIWARE/Unreal splash screens, white screen of death. I can still access the Home menu but the game itself is straight-up unplayable, at least while undocked. Anyone else have the same issue?

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

does anyone prefer the binboks over the hori?

Maybe try deleting the save data and starting fresh?
