Stux posted:no i dont think thats accurate at all, especially in the example i was using of dark souls. you certainly dont have to pull your punches and gimp yourself for that game haha In Dark Souls if you get the strongest two handed sword there's no reason to use a less strong two handed sword. Edit: dark souls isn't an example of an open world game what the gently caress are you talking about. Tender Bender fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Mar 22, 2017 |

I still think battle mode is gonna suck because I've seen no evidence of a "stock - no time limit mode", just different point modes, and no block fort.

This game already has build in elemental weapons and crushing/piercing weak enemies. It HAS the tools to encourage "experimentation" and using different weapons. But it doesn't it punished you for using a good weapon.

It's not really punishing when you can get an infinite number of any weapon in the game

The Bloop posted:I loved the giant boomerang too. I assume there's more than one in the game. I've seen several: The Giant Boomerang itself, several versions of the Lizal Boomerangs with each one having one more blade than the last and the boomerang you get from the Toon Link amiibo I believe.

My joy cons work perfectly from behind my back in the master bathroom, with three walls, a closet full of coats, and twenty-five feet between them and the Switch. I think I'm good. I'm also good with weapon durability. I think I've hit all the relevant topics of the day.

Weapons are consumable. This is like saying the game punishes you for firing an arrow because you don't have the arrow anymore. You keep harping on experimentation, but that's only part of the reason for durability. Weapons being consumable is a fundamental part of the game. Breath of the Wild is constructed around constantly giving you small rewards, it has a very quick flow to it. Whether it's a Shrine, or a Korok, or getting a neat weapon from an enemy camp, you can play for five minutes and feel like you did something. The entire game is built around that and part of that would be removed if weapons were permanent because rather than weapons being a constant resource they would just be part of the useless loot overload that most open world games have.

What if the weapons had modifiers with durability, but the base weapons were unbreakable, or would last longer? One handed sharp sword (1.3x damage) would become a normal 1x sword gradually after, let's say 30 uses, maybe keep going until it becomes a dull sword that does 0.5 damage or something. The modifiers could of course be more inventive than just straight damage boosts.

Got an actual Switch question for the Switch Thread. What are people using as travel AC adapters? I don't mind buying another Nintendo one, but it's kinda bulky. I'd rather not pay $70 for an Apple power adapter though. Is there a middle ground?

Alfalfa The Roach posted:You can at least be sure that whatever you come up with won't have a gross aesthetic like Binding of Isaac does I'm glad I didn't find it as off-putting as I thought I would at first. Generally ignorable, and I do get a chuckle from some of the cutscenes. Infinitum posted:Gonna have to invest in one of those goose neck mounts eventually I think, but it feels so loving good in handheld mode with both joycons attached. I have a gooseneck mount, but I find myself using a small third-party stand in favor of it. Turns out that a small stand on my belly and an extra pillow under my head is preferable to a floating system -- I think the distances just work out better or something. But it has the added bonus of being able to prop the system up sideways when I want to lay on either side. Split JoyCon bed-play is the best. parallelodad posted:I still think battle mode is gonna suck because I've seen no evidence of a "stock - no time limit mode", just different point modes, and no block fort. This makes me sad. Not sad enough to not buy the game (I haven't played regular Mario Kart 8), but less excited about buying it. Especially considering how easy I'm convinced it would be to implement from a technical perspective. They're deliberately depriving me of my favorite game mode.

I was initially really bummed when i heard about the weapon durability in BOTW and ended up loving it for this exact reason. All (well very nearly all) enemies carry a replacement, lots of options to make do If you're trying to conserve them, extra damage if you throw it before it breaks. It just works™.

It gives you far more incentive to do silly things with your runes, too. Anything that encourages the player to crush bokoblins with big rocks is good imo.

Earth Table posted:I've been noticing that when my TV (nothing fancy or out of the ordinary; just a standard, not-smart 40something'' LG I got from Target) is on another input, sometimes the notifcation window will pop up saying that it's found a new connection to HDMI2, where my Switch is docked and on sleep mode. Obviously, It does this when the Switch is newly docked, but it will curiously do it even when it's been docked all day. Has anyone else run into this issue? My PS4 never does it despite being constantly plugged in and on sleep mode as well. From a few pages ago but yes, I've had this happen a few times. I have a HDMI hub/switcher (from back when I had 1 HDMI port on my TV) and it'll randomly change to the Switch, also happens reliably when I dock it if it's off. It's gotten so bad I've just plugged it directly into the TV.
