The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

My opinion for NMS on Switch depends on the price. It's a nice little abnegation game that on Steam still has the $60 price point (currently on sale for 30). I simply can't recommend it to people for that much.

Unlike at launch it's an actual game now, but a shallow one. Great if it's your jam, but IMO it needs a "let's give it a try" price of 20-30 dollars with opportunities for sales.

Into the Breach is getting an update. New pilots, missions, new just about everything. Also a physical copy will be out in October.

Does NMS have a first person camera or are you stuck with the clunky looking third person thing from the video?

Five new mech squads. Not five new mechs, five new squads. And fourty new weapons.

I'd have paid full price all over again for this as a dlc, and it's free.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Into the Breach is basically a puzzle game disguised as a tactics game, but it's a really loving good puzzle game and already has a lot of various things to shake the gameplay up, even before the free update adds a ton more stuff next month. Definitely worth a look if you're interested.

That's cool, haven't got it on Switch because I already had it on PC due to a Humble Bundle, but this might motiviate me to get it since I don't think I'd get the update. Good job marketing

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 ...

yeah, this question threw me for a loop, as I only use third-person for screenshots, sometimes

it took me a couple seconds before I remembered that yes, third-person is an option :v:

It was over four years ago!

I guess it's not out of line with how many games get additional content now. But I always thought they missed an opportunity to release even more content for FTL.

Speaking of FTL, wasn't the Advanced Edition out much later after the initial release?

I still hate that it's not on Android.

Funny enough, it was first person only for all sections at launch. IIRC 3rd person came with the big MP update.

I know it's not that simple and all but I still wish, even if they don't flat-out make a Switch version of FTL, they'd at least figure out how to make it work with a controller so I could play it on my modded Switch.

Have they cracked the oled yet? Limitless virtual console would be dope. Then again, those standalone retro handhelds are getting better and better every year and you can get some really baller ones for like $140 these days

Some even have touch screen support for superior DS emulation compared to on a switch

I think it's still limited to the launch-era Switches with the Nvidia vulnerability thing. I bought my initial Switch at launch and later bought an OLED, so I hacked my launch Switch and put Android on it so I could stream games on it. Steam Link works well enough for my purposes, it'll work nicely until I eventually get a Steam Deck hopefully later this year, and then I dunno what I'll do with my launch Switch, maybe give it to my sister or something.

Doom 2016 and Monster Hunter Rise play beautifully on the Switch, and so far, this looks like it's received the same level of attention to optimization.

The last time he said his game was :swoon: he was full of poo poo, and now he's doing it on a console with a maybe a third of the power. I'll wait for the DF analysis.

Ah makes sense! drat I was trying to be financially responsible and sold my launch unit to pay for my revised model but I definitely regret not holding on to it! I hadn't even thought about streaming games. Honestly that sounds awesome

I'm hoping to get a steam deck whenever you can just buy one that isn't $999.99 on ebay! My friend got an early pre-order in and he' still waiting
