UnfortunateSexFart posted:Looks like I'm gonna have to buy a 10 foot HDMI cable on top of all the other accessories because I just had pro controller sync issues too. Nothing else has any trouble maintaining a connection while next to routers etc. If mine were acting up at a I'd either bother support for a different pair of cons or solder a wire like that one guy did. I love this thing but the connection issues being off on for some people really needs to be addressed.

Zelda should have probably stayed 720p docked but then people would have had melt downs about it being "too low res". Or least give people the option.

No business is going to follow up a disaster by making millions upon millions of their next thing expecting that this time they blindly got it right, that's just bad practice. Sony sold an insane amount of PS3s so they could be more confident of selling through 5-10million units of the PS4 or however many they made. edit: plus they could be double plus confident after seeing how bad Microsoft shot themselves in the foot.

Not if you sneak up, bomb them, and then steal their poo poo bwahahaha Or climb up the walls around them and smash them from behind before sneaking up on their buddy on the bridge and one shoting him into the water. Then it's a net gain

To be fair it's stupid easy to do that. Actually I did let me test how much I hosed them up, cause I think my 2nd pair of joycons is on the switch not the initial ones I oopsied. Nah all 4 cons are good. Idk I guess I knew I hosed up and took my time undoing it.

Mahoning posted:For large swaths of this game, BotW feels nothing like a Zelda game. Then you'll come across a goofy character with a goofy storyline, or enter a new area and hear some familiar music, or you'll be looking around on the map and see a mountain or a lake named after a character from an old Zelda game (or just flat out named after an old Zelda game) and you feel that overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and HOLY poo poo THIS A ZELDA GAME. Idk Having a giant map to just poke around in, finding neat stuff, and not being on a guided track like TP & I assume SS was feels a gently caress of a lot Zelda. We got too used to mediocre installments.

nerd_of_prey posted:Was wondering if anyone knows whether you can play Mario kart 8 with a single joycon? I ask because i am trying to justify purchasing the neon joycon pack on the basis that i will need more joycons for 4 player Mario kart. But really I am just jealous of the neon switch and want my own delightfully garish console! They showed in the MK8D trailer doing table top mode with 2 people with a joycon each so yes.

Also I am weak and will probably spring for another dock. I have 2 TVs and use them both all the time. I"m currently doing what I was doing with my Wii U with having a spare HDMI cable and power at each TV so it was just a matter of moving the unit/dock. It's getting like why am I doing this just spend the money so you don't have to keep juggling all this crap around you can just grab the machine and pro and PLAY.

General Morden posted:i was having this discussion with an acquaintance of mine at work and he made the point that the switch came out pretty bare bones in terms of functions/capabilities that other consoles already have built-in (i.e. legit online services and poo poo like media playback) and he wondered how nintendo got away with it. he stated that if microsoft or sony tried something similar, they would have been owned hard. so i thought about it some more and thought about how the switch was so successful (it sold better than the Wii), considering the state that it was released in. We're all too busy playing Zelda to give a poo poo about these things for now.

Gaspy Conana posted:I'm wondering what they're going to do with the Joy-Con issue from a marketing perspective. It's pretty obviously a problem with the design of the left Joy-Con and not a random defect, so it's on them, but I'm sure they want to avoid some big statement that could result in "SWITCH RECALL, NINTENDO CONSOLE DEFECTIVE" articles that could reach mom or grandma before Christmas rolls around. Seems like they're hoping everyone just calls support and that silently takes care of it. Actually let me double test that. Yeah even behind my back I have to get about 3m away before it cuts out. 6m it's still fine and at that point I have to get behind a wall. So the people who are failing at like 1m totally a defective con compared to mine.

Phantasium posted:I don't know why that's getting traction but I played the majority of the beginning of Zelda with airplane mode on and still saw plenty of framerate drops so I don't think that has anything to do with it. There's two different things happening. One Zelda renders all the drat grass and in the starting area in particular this can just overload the game. There's a separate issue where the system gets hung up dealing with wifi when it shouldn't. Once you get out of the starting area the framerate improves a lot.

Also for those keeping score I called Nintendo and told the lady I got a busted con and since I had a 2nd one that was working a lot better it's gotta be the controller, so I bypassed all their troubleshooting that way. It was the one that came with the system too. I still had the packaging from the ones I bought. The system menu shows the serial number for the cons when they are connected and that number didn't match either bag I had.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:actually this segues into a question: how many people just had a really poo poo time with the gyro controls in botw The gyro works fine but for some damned reason Zelda "clicks" gyro movement to a minimum amount. You can see this best when zoomed in with the state,that any movement jumps like it's on a grid not moving pixel by pixel. At normal camera it feels right. Splatoon on the Wii u didn't do this far as I can tell. Zelda resetting gyro on stick use explains some things. Splatoon let's you put both inputs in at the same time, even to the point of conflicting ones will keep you still. LethalGeek fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Mar 15, 2017 |

I can't believe I wasted a couple minutes going through the last couple of pages instead of tackling these dozen guys guarding a tower in Zelda. Maybe cause I grew up at some point I don't get the impulse to go read about things I don't care about/hate. That seems like a sad thing to do with one's self.

Wii U was great if you like Nintendo stuff, but that better do it for you cause games from everyone else generally didn't happen. Probably a lot to do with why Nintendo is going hard after Indie stuff now and hopefully keeping the trash out this time.
