If I remember correctly you could press a and b together to manually explode the mines. Had a few self inflicted deaths that way but you could use it to explode them in midair which is pretty sweet

Yes and it was a deeply unfair way to beat even your fairly experienced friends because it wasn't something most people knew how to do. So even if you told them how they wouldn't be used to having explosions thrown in their face. Very fun.

I don't think they've had any say over the Bond game rights for about a decade at this point. I dunno if any publisher has blanket rights to it anymore! I know IO Interactive are doing a Bond game...

If old-style FPS games are your flavor, the Switch has a pretty good assortment with the Dooms, Quake, Duke 3D, Prodeus, DUSK... New style, there's the new Dooms, the Wolfensteins, and that rough Apex Legends port, but yeah, there's some very visible absences. Microsoft has threatened a decade of CoD games for Switch and future Nintendo platforms if their Activision deal goes through, but it's not currently really clear what form that'd take exactly outside of "not a streaming cloud version".

It is scandalous that you have not consumed this particular piece of content even though it has to be continued to be quite popular since its inception. Especially considering it has become easier to gain access to this particular piece of content by paying the appropriate fee, even though the fee is recurring these days should you wish to consume it on a regular basis. The fee gains you access to a wider selection of content that you can consume (some of it in close proximity to the aforementioned consumable content), making a recurring payment a more attractive proposition.

Edit: Consume.

To be fair, Perfect Dark didn't require the expansion pack. You just needed it to play the single-player, the 2-player co-op or counter-op modes, and the 3-4 player combat modes :v:



it also didnt render all of those fullscreen without the pak, just did like a tiny square in the middle of the tv instead lol

I remember trying to play Perfect Dark 64 with the HD option enabled. I'd say you easily lost 5-10 fps with it on. Muddy SD was the way to go.

Yeah imo it's handy to at least have a basic understanding of popular things, if only so you get references.

Like for instance, I read Dune for the first time in college, and as I was reading it I kept going "Oh that's what people are referencing all the drat time?!"

Makes it easier to understand posts from nerds on Internet forums, in any case.

I’m not even worried about that. It’s more like “great. you want a merit badge or something?” By all means, don’t watch or enjoy something. Just don’t act like it’s some impressive feat or character trait, either.

I think Doom is one of those games that is so well designed on a fundamental level that everyone should at least give it a shot through episode 1, even if they're not shooter fans. Also IMO it holds up extra well on console since there's no vertical look, tho YMMV there.

Completed Ender Lillies last night. I liked it! Fantastic soundtrack and great visuals. Story was alright, liked the concept but felt like it could have been explored further. Exploration was enjoyable, combat was fine, I guess I enjoyed the atmosphere more than anything. Definitely similar to Hollow Knight, but not as good (or as good as Ori). If you like them, you'll probably like this.

It was a joke, about how the entire trilogy happened before I was born and according to some people, that renders them outside of my ability to experience them.

Of course I've seen the original trilogy.

I probably should have put a big ol "/s" at the end of that, but I thought that's what the :colbert: smilie was for.

Edit: Doom is good. Doom 2 is good. Doom 2016 is like a drug in FPS form, and Doom Eternal, I'm still trying to get my bearings on. So far, it is monstrously chaotic. Thumbs tentatively up.
