Well the game shouldn't run better undocked, period. But pretty sure it did run better on the wii-u in many situations. There are tons of breakdowns online. Regardless, the difference is negligible and that is still sad.

Yes, hardware absolutely shouldn't run better when it's rendering at a lower resolution that's just loving silly :rolleyes:.

Fair enough, will have to see if I can rope one of my friends into playing it then. All I know is that in my test drive I felt constantly overwhelmed and kind of stressed out.

It's a shame it's local play only. I played it with a buddy and it was actually really fun but he's the only person I know irl that likes video games and lives in the same state as me.

When I was in high school and college all my friends played games to an extent. Now I know exactly three people in town who love games as much as I do but they all live with their SO's like I do and we have to schedule "game time" to hang out and play games and all my old friends live across the country and we still do play games when we get together but it's rare. Being an adult and into local-play style games sucks. I can play as many games as I want with my wife but only if I want to play Lego games ._.

Nier automata is my game of the year so far.

Can't wait to sink my teeth into persona 5. Currently in the 1st dungeon. third safe room, Out of SP. I do have 1 soma but i'm hesitant to use it. Persona 4 taught me to finish dungeons in 1 day,
Is it feasible for me to finish this dungeon without SP? Also the negotiating is fun but hard.

That's a good question and I was thinking of asking the same. Dirt of all games had it, just seemed a bit random to tack that on well after its released. It has been well received though from everything I've read

Also curious if they'll add it for Dirt 4

It's way less feasible to finish a dungeon in one day in P5, especially the first two. In fact there's a mechanic that means it's impossible, so never leave it until the last minute. It is still possible to find the treasure in one go but it's tough.

I now play co op games with my brother. All of my friends who like video games all play different genres. Though the friend who I went on a trip with has decided to pick up a fighting game, just so he can beat the people in the arcades (he got his rear end kicked in the arcades) We are now playing Blazblue a lot

Once you start your new dad's social link you can brew coffee and that makes regaining SP a lot easier. That's not until after the first dungeon though.

Couch co op is great when the opportunity presents itself, but there are so many factors involved, making a local a local only MP game in Tylool 2017 is moronic.

If you ever feel tight on cash at the start you can sell that free Soma for 50000 yen. Money shouldn't be a problem later and it's an amazing item but the possibility is there.

I'm playing Digimonstory Cybersleuth and I'm noticing that my digimon can't die in battle. He's at 1 health, and he keeps getting attacked, but he never dies. Is this normal?

The thing is, it seems like most people seem to think the combat in Nier: automata isn't that great but let's not forget, the original was even more boring and bland.

Just got the last of the main endings in Nier. All the complaints about the combat are true (which is to say it's the worst Platinum has done but that isn't saying much) but the game wins on consistency of style and theme. I have a list of the gag endings and am wondering which if any of them I want to pursue. Most of them are just "some enemy you need to beat is right in front of you but choose to walk away instead" which seems pretty boring.

Yeah I guess I never played Ninja Turtles or the Korra game. I guess besides there being ten thousand different ways to keep your health topped off at all times, there is almost no penalty for just mashing R2.

The weakest part of Nier's combat it's that there's tons of options and different abilities in the chips but there's no reason to use any of them because you can just mash dodge the whole time. Raising the difficulty doesn't help because it just makes you die quicker if you don't mash dodge.
And Very Hard is just a joke settings.

That is hilariously hosed up because they were made with the same constraints as their budget Korra game. I mean I know why they chose to price TMNT and Transformers higher but LMAO people got suckered for real.

Yakuza 0 is amazingly badassed in every way and you should get it instead of Persona 5.
