I've played every Xenoblade game since the first one and I wasn't disappointed in 3 in the slightest. On the contrary I like it the best of an of them.

Oh yeah I didn't mean with regards to overall reception or that it's a common opinion, just emphasizing that it's so standalone and accessible that the closest I've seen in the ballpark of continuity issues is people complaining about the exact opposite thing oldstench was worried about

Yeah this part broke for me. I hit the ball into the hive, the MC goes "I should check if the bees have calmed down", but it's impossible to get to the hive because there are still bees blocking the path.

Nice. Nice.

I'm gonna just request a refund as well. Thanks.

I never could get the side entrance to work either. I think our games broke in the same spot.

Use Nintendo's chat support, and say you had a game breaking bug and cannot progress. Be polite. They'll tell you it's against policy but they'll see what they can do, and then they'll give you the refund.

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they saved a lot of the past game fanservice for the story DLC, to the point where I'll be disappointed if at least part of it isn't exploring the photograph from the ending.

Since everyone else seems to be refunding Sports Story, I'm gonna try to finish it before the walkthroughs come out, because those are trickling out slow as gently caress and there are some seriously confusing parts of this game that really make no sense and I'm a masochist. I'm in a fishing village right now after riding the train and I keep encountering the same soft lock after trying to beat a BMX side quest and it's actually kinda hard. I've reset the game 4 times now and I'm giving up for the night.

I'm a bit further into Sports Story. Doing some weird Tennis Academy stuff which is apparently one of the buggier parts of the game. I keep saving after pretty much everything just in case. At one point you can go into the basement and find an item. When you do, someone in the room who is not there has a conversation with you. A ha, a bug! So I reloaded and waited until I actually got sent there. Now the conversation happened and made sense.

I just did some tennis challenge where I completed it but didn't get a SUCCESS pop up so I quit out.

Very disappointed with this game.

I don't mind it not guiding me to do things. It's usually not hard to figure out what to do. I do mind the bugs and occasional crashes, though.

What a mess.

Subnautica is one of the few games I think would be worth it to play in VR. What a fantastic and immersive experiance. I love the ships AI.

Funny you mention that. I tried out an Oculus Rift properly for the first time last night and was left thoroughly impressed by it. Now I couldn't play it for more than 5-10 minutes at a time, it weighed on my neck, and my eyes didn't feel great, but I can't deny it was just astonishing.

Going back to Subnautica after that the same thought crossed my mind, but considering what I had experienced I don't think I could do long sessions with it.

Got my kids a Meta Quest for Xmas and yeah, it's pretty impressive. If there were any software devs that knew what the gently caress to do with it, it would be truly groundbreaking.

The most popular games on the console seem to have been developed in a week or less. It's confusing but that's Meta for you.

Rookie question here: I have a Switch with the stock controller that came with it. If I buy Mario Kart, can I split the joycons up and have two people play at the same time? Or do I need to go buy another Switch controller?

Yes you can do that with Mario kart. Relatively few other games, but some can do it.

Yes that works, make sure to use the joycon attachments so the shoulder buttons are easier to use.

A ton of Nintendo games do allow that, mostly any multiplayer party game where you only need a stick and a few buttons. Mario Party, Mario Bros U, Captain Toad, Fast RMX, all the virtual console games, etc

Yes, but you have to use a button combo for start and select since the joycon is one button short.

I think it's a requirement that if you have same screen multiplayer then each player only needs a single joycon. Even n64 lets you use a single joycon, which is going to be interesting when goldeneye drops and you actually need all the buttons on the n64 controller

It'll be the first game to require two separate joycons per person to accurately emulate using a second controller for the right stick :haw:

It’s really good! It doesn’t introduce crazy new VR mechanics, but it understands what it means to be able to interact with an environment in a 3D space. You can zoom really far in, or move around and understand the spatial relationships of stuff in the level differently. It also just really nails the sense of scale using VR and sells that you’re a small mouse in a large place. I could gush about it for a long time, but it was the first game I walked away from after playing that really sold me on the current gen of VR sets. It gave me this really cool feeling like I’d played something familiar but in an entirely new format—that same kind of wonder I had when I played Super Mario World coming from the NES games, etc.
