It runs well, there’s a game stopping bug early on if you’re running at 60fps, I can’t remember the exact details but it’s like one bit of traversal where you need to cap at 30 and then it should be fine from there on.

Good call, I looked it up and it looks like I need to lock it to 30 for the cutscene after the first boss fight. I’ve been meaning to play bloodstained but have been putting it off, how twitchy is it? I may try to stream it to my portal but, judging by how it handles hollow knight, if you move the dpad from left to right really fast without releasing it the dpad stops working.

I wish Dead Cells didn't use 3D models because the load times are annoying. I'm still playing it constantly BUT STILL.

PM1 has more charm, better music, better level design, better peach segments. The only thing TTYD has over it is that you start with timed hits and some of the partners are cooler than their PM1 equivalents

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

The only things TTYD did better was more badges, a good endgame challenge, and 60 fps

I don't really like at least half of Paper Mario 1's level design. Music's okay, I guess, not really an all-timer for me but I do have the OST through Nintendo Power (redeemed years of subscription points before I lost them and Paper Mario and Banjo Kazooie soundtracks seemed like my best options at the time.)

The thing that made the in-game art unforgettable is that it was too early to be fully goku-ized thank god

the anime cutscenes for Chrono Trigger didn't look bad because they were "full Goku-ized" they looked bad because they were made my toei during the Dragon Ball GT era and used the same style a GT

I think TTYD has more charm and fun twists, pretty much every chapter does something weird and different. PM1 is more straightforward. They're both good games.

Faster than the others



I'm playing Mario Odyssey for the first time, 6 years late to the party. Having disliked SM64 even as a kid, I skipped all of the later 3D Marios up until now, but I'm really enjoying Odyssey. I can plow through a kingdom or two a day, though I'm playing mostly on my days off so I'm not really going as fast as that math would make it seem :classiclol:.

Maybe this has been posted before but if not a new gameplay trailer for the Batman trilogy has come out

https://youtu.be/NLZA6ayFYKs

I am hoping that the performance is decent, in that case I’m picking this up immediately on release. If also Outer Wilds performs okayishly then December will be a real nice month for gaming.

Outer Wilds is awesome, and I highly recommend it.

That said, I'm not sure about playing it handheld. Not because of the controls, it's intended for a controller, but because you spend a lot of time reading text which is already kind of small.

I still can't believe they're putting Arkham Knight on the Switch, when it was barely able to run at 30 on the PlayStation 4.

Sure, but it never came out for Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, which is where the Switch sits, power-wise.

JUST PICK ONE. ANY ONE.
New Professor Layton trailer dropped. I do not love the new look of Luke nor that the game is set after Unwound Future, which I thought was a nice bow on the Layton series. Should've stuck with Katrielle.

More importantly, the trailer says the game is scheduled for release in 2025 on the Nintendo Switch. To me, it's likely that the original Switch will still get support like the Wii and DS did after a new console releases, though it's also possible that no new Switch is coming or that the game is being made for the Switch 2 as well.

That’s just what the counter maxes out at. There are 830 unique moons but you only need about 500 to get to the final challenge

It's never this cut and dry to compare between consoles, especially given that the Switch has 4GB of unified RAM, vs the 360's 512MB and PS3's 256MB of VRAM.

The Wii U was about as powerful as a 360 (with 4x as much RAM), and the Switch is more powerful than the WiiU.

Except it's been downclocked for thermals and battery life. Also the ram that's used is pretty slow, as overclocking launch switches show a marked improvement in fps, frame times, how often dynamic scaling kicks in, etc.

What I'm getting at is that a Switch may not be particularly fast, but it's not an Xbox 360 from 2005 and I don't think that comparison is super useful.

I'm sure Arkham Knight is going to be low-res, though!

Except there's a number of games you can point to that have been ports of the 360/ps3 gen that show only mild (5-20% increase in fps, 720 to 1080 with the same fps), or no graphical improvement whatsoever.

Oh gently caress gently caress gently caress. I was at work and the video didn't embed on the Awful App (still hasn't even on my computer!) so I had to click that to see what it was and gently caress THIS GAME IS GOING TO CONSUME MY LIFE.

Farmer was one job I thought was curiously absent from the first game and they went and added that! Man I can't wait to play it!
