Silver Falcon posted:I ran into quite a few Shinespark puzzles in Dread that look truly fiendish. I haven't looked up how to actually do them... but I can already tell they might just be beyond me. I got 100% item completion in Fusion and Zero Mission, but I don't think I have the time, brain power, or patience to do that in Dread. I love the game, but yeesh some of these Shinespark things just look nasty. I think Dread's shinespark puzzles are some of the most doable in any Metroid, and most have a couple solutions/approaches you can take. Give them a shot!

punk rebel ecks posted:Should I replay Three Houses to go on Egelhart’s side? Edelgard rules and is my favourite path, as it's fairly different from most other Fire Emblem games/routes. Of note, (small route mechanic spoilers) the Edelgard route actually splits into two: the main Black Eagles path and the Very Wrong Path for Dummies. The true Black Eagles path has some requirements to take note of, basically make sure you rank her support ASAP (the actual requirements are just rank C before a certain point but whatever max that poo poo), make sure to agree to go with her in a scripted event in February, and make sure to say yes at a certain decision (the choice is extremely obvious). Tried to keep it spoiler light.

Something else? speaking as a person that hasn't played the series since the GBA days, fire emblem three houses is very good. i'd go for DQXI if you haven't got that yet, i loved it despite generally disliking JRPGs and animes.

Smirking_Serpent posted:Edelgard is dope because she takes action and is way more proactive than your typical protagonist. She’s the villain on other routes, but the main character makes her chill out on her path. It’s shorter than the other routes but the most different. The front half of the game is still the same so you might want to wait before a replay. People say that she isn’t a villain. One person said “she is a monster like Robbisphere”.

I saved all the Shinespark puzzles in Dread for one final loop and had to use a guide for a couple of them because, like, it never would have occurred to me to Shinespark in ball mode for example, but in terms of actually doing them only one of them took me more than 10 tries max. Learning to stall out of Screw Attack for the mid-air spark was the hardest part, but I did every Shinespark in the game in about half an hour, really not bad

i ha'n't gotten there in dread yet but in the gba metroid games you can also tap up to stop spinning and then shinespark in your direction of choice.

I use the shoulder buttons, mid-air aiming stops spins too. Forget if this interacts with Shinesparking though. I remembered all the tricks from Super/Fusion/Zero so only one Shinespark puzzle in Dread really gave me trouble, and that was more an execution of timing and making the right approach more than anything.

My problem with the Dread Shinespark puzzles is the in-game explanation for how it worked was completely opaque, and since I hadn’t played any of the others, I had to look up a few YouTube videos to understand any of the mechanics other than basic go-forward and then up.

it's not that hard to execute, just a lot to string together at first. the hardest part is getting the charge at the beginning before you run into the door.

Just beat no more heroes 1. That was a ton of fun. Just got part 2 on the eshop. Should I consider getting Travis Strikes Back as well later? Also my copy of bayonetta 2 I got for Christmas is the European version so I can’t use the download code for bayonetta one. Putting it here for any eu goons who want it, just let me know who claimed it! Bayonetta 1 eu code: E003BPPX6SY7MVL4

In case you don't get it, it start in room 4. You run right from 4 to 5, and you have a millisecond to stop and drop down to charge up. Turn around, jump, go left with your speed charge, hit down exactly when you hit the 45° ramp, and now on a timer you shoot the door open, go right, go into a ball, jump, go left. Enter room 4, crash through wall, enter room 3, at exactly the moment you crash through the bricks but before leaving room 3 (about 1/8 of a second) you press down to charge up, timer resumes, continue progress left, enter room 2, stand up, jump without discharging, return to ball, jump, go left, enter room 1. So imagine the precision of the hardest rhythm game but between notes there's loading screens so there's no rhythm to follow. gently caress that loving puzzle.

So as someone who has played Terraria on and off for years, and almost always find joy in starting up a new large world and playing around, even Solo, I must ask: Is Terraria fun to play on the Switch, as someone who is coming from the PC version? Keep in mind a couple of things when responding:
So, because of the upcoming content, and soon-ending sale, I might snag it. But is it worth it for portability?

I would be more into shinespark puzzles if the game actually came with a detailed tutorial on all the intricacies of shinesparks because I would never even guess that you could somehow roll into a ball to do it, much less how to activate it from there. Whenever I've done even horizontal shinesparks in super metroid I don't really get exactly what the rule is for that I just jump then wiggle on the dpad and hope the right thing happens.

The controls are definitely the worst part. You can click in L3 to swap between the smart cursor that auto-targets blocks in the direction you push the right stick and the manual cursor which you can move to a fixed position and it stays there. It takes some getting used to, but once you learn to juggle the modes effectively it’s very playable. I would still rather play it with a mouse and keyboard if given the option, but it’s as competent as you could hope when translated to controller.

I finished up Picross S2 and was ready for S3, but was hesitant about the color since I'm crazy colorblind. But I saw S4 had a high-contrast mode. And it's great! Here's a regular puzzle, the same puzzle in high contrast, and the completed puzzle back in regular mode. https://twitter.com/MattSolo734/status/1475658332685815811?t=zG7xwRQcB96r_AD9GobS6Q&s=19

I just started Picross S3 and there are two small weird things that bug me. First, it now asks "Would you like to play this puzzle" or whatever every time you select a puzzle. I don't know why they added that extra confirmation screen but it's annoying. Second, I liked the blue color for marked squares better than the new black color. I wish they allowed you to change it.

I'm not colorblind and I prefer high contrast mode. Makes things easier to parse at a glance, and makes the resulting picture more of a surprise when it's revealed.

bushisms.txt posted:Played the dread demo and got hooked, so I'm playing super for the first time. Please spoil both of these for me, what do they mean? There's the "noob bridge" is a short section of the game that forces you to learn "oh, a dash button exists", which is what most people seem to be talking about. "Speed booster trap" might be referring to one of a few segments of the game that look like you might be able to make it, but actually require the speed booster. The second one, vaguely, requires you to use a power up you get later to do environmental damage that is foreshadowed, but perhaps a bit too subtly. IIRC, the game does explicitly show you it if you let it sit at the title screen long enough for demo footage to start playing. For a more explicit explanation: you have to use power bombs to destroy a glass tube that lets you into the water area of the game.
