How’s Ion Fury? It’s on sale and it looks like a fun Boomer Shooter, but also I feel like I remember something deep in my mind that the people who made it were terrible chuds.

it’s good, better on PC but imo it’s good on Switch. the game itself is incredibly juvenile and stupid (first level has a giant washington 4-skins billboard) and apparently has a homophobic joke (o’gays instead of o’lays) hidden somewhere in a secret. someone found this which caused the devs to remove it and then put it back in when a load of people complained, and made them double down on a lot of it and say even more nasty poo poo. really weird.

Yeah, the 'o'gay' thing was :rolleyes:, but it was the devs response to all of that that really poo poo the bed.

Go gyro aim or go home. I can't stand twin-stick shooter controls. I loathe them.

Gyro aiming is great and should be in every game. Sony is full of cowards scarred by sixaxis mockery for not putting the option in every game they make

It's crazy to me that Nintendo is leading the way in shooters right now, that used to be an Xbox thing. MS holding back the industry for some boomers who don't wanna get left behind.

I'm sorry your brain is broken.

I don't play many shooters to begin with, but I've only done them with either a keyboard and mouse, or with gyro aiming, and I can't loving stand twinstick controls for shooters. It feels like wading through molasses.

PM64 is the best Mario RPG, Superstar Saga is second so hopefully Nintendo adds GBA to the switch so more people can play it

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
Gyro aiming is good in first person shooters but Metroid Prime isn't a first person shooter and doesn't need it.

I just started playing Halo Infinite, and I'd absolutely love for that to be somehow ported to the Switch. If you're at all, or have ever been, interested in Halo, I recommend it.

Gyro is good in third person shooters too. Lack of gyro was my main problem going from BOTW to Horizon, aiming just felt so clunky in comparison

Yeah the reason only one game uses gyro aiming isn't because it's extremely wonky and unreliable and doesn't work. No. It's because of a conspiracy by boomers.

The best way to practice gyro aiming for free would be to check out Warframe or Fortnite (yes, really, shut up). Those games, plus playing RE4 on Steam with my Steam controller (yes, really, shut up), made me a gyro aiming fan. Next to M+KB, it's the best option.

Now, let me tell you all about trackball aiming :getin:

Gyro is better than sticks because it allows you to be both fast and precise. There’s a reason basically every fps has to add really strong autoaim to the dual analogue controls, but gyro based games like splatoon don’t.

Duke 3D is one of those games that is really uncomfortable to revisit 25 years later, but I acknowledge it has good comedy in parts and certainly was one of the seminal works in FPS.

However it's frustrating to see that some boomer shooters are doubling down on Duke's troublesome aspects, and they're not really redeeming otherwise.

I'm a big fan of Shovel Knight. They are very different games though. Dead Cells is a roguelight focused on combat whereas Shovel Knight is a linear oldschool platformer. Both have dozens of hours of content though!

Shovel Knight is the better of the two, but it's a platformer. It's quality product.

Dead Cells is good, but it doesn't have as much lasting power in my opinion since the difficulty gets to be too much.
