Nep-Nep posted:I agree that the 8-bitdo Pro 2 is good, additionally has gyro and can be used with other platforms. One note is it can't wake the console. For me the only downside I've run into with it is I find the trigger buttons to be way too sensitive for my liking. It's not an issue with actual gameplay but if I put the controller down at an angle sometimes I just slightly brush the trigger and it counts as input.

I thought i was doing pretty good when I wrapped up the rewards of the Bubbul gem quest only to discover i still had 98 caves to find. It's crazy how much there is to do in this game. My plan right now is to get the rest of the shrines. I'm jumping from the Depths and Overworld to match locations for ones I'm missing. That's like 100% fool-proof right?. I imagine there is some shrines linked to main quest stuff, but I'll get to that eventually. Or should I do them now... I would really rather clear the Shrines first.

I just wrote this whole thing about a game I wanted to recommend but my phone froze up and dumped it. Short short version: it’s called Afterimage. It’s a really pretty metroidvania type with nice music. It took me a little bit to get the rhythm for it as I am not great at MV style games but I did pretty okay at it for the hour and a half or so I played this afternoon. It was $25 at best buy (free since I did the buy 2 get one free). I still have a lot to figure out but it explains the very basics for the most part in the beginning. Worth looking at. The reviews are lower on the switch version than other versions which seems to be a result of some bugs that had not been worked out at launch, which appear to be patched now. It had a bug that apparently kept you from being able to finish the game. It seems it’s about 30 hours of gameplay (which probably assumes you’re good at metroidvanias).

gey muckle mowser posted:my launch pro controller is on its last legs and I'm gonna have to replace it soon. Is the official pro controller still the best option? Do they still have that d-pad issue that I had to fix with scotch tape? You want the 8bitdo Ultimate. Has gyro, a good d-pad, and can wake the console. Most importantly, it has hall effect sticks, so it won't drift.

I'll just hold up my joycons near the monitor while I play youtube videos at 0.25 playback to simulate it and keep my Switch safe. Best of both worlds.

My appreciation for the video is not that you can play "triple AIDS" games. It's the same appreciation as the guy who put literal logic gates in TOTK or someone putting doom on a TI84. The technical skill behind it is just amazing. Also if you actually watch the video, you'll gain an appreciation for how well engineered the Switch chip is for a 6 year old SOC.

I don't think dumb half an A press things you can technically do to vibrate through walls if you're an obsessed speed runner really counts as the game being buggy when normal people will never encounter that poo poo

BotW and TotK have bugs for sure, which is understandable, but to compare them to a Bethesda game is, well...lol rofl lmao. Which is to say, good loving luck having a bug-free experience as an open world game, but god drat Bethesda/Obsidian games are in their own league of bugginess.

Unless there's been a breakthrough since then I thought BOTW speedruns were actually fairly tame in that regard, it's mostly abusing how OP food buffs are and how not threatening the actual Ganon fight is. Physics-ing yourself into Hyrule Castle with a Stasis catapult is technically the intended game mechanics.

drat the new pikmin really do be showing off nice game design of letting you go at your own pace at the start and giving you the tools and walking you through it and then tugging you out for a slow, poddling tutorial and characterization segment after taking everything away why give me the plants and shut the gently caress up
