I love the idea of open world games, but always found myself getting bogged in side quests and my interest petered out.

BOTW, on the other hand, has kept my attention as if I were at gunpoint. Totally rapt.

Odd question

It's not switch exclusive, but in a lot of pause menus for games I get a weird sound from my speakers on my 5.1 system. Sounds almost like the sound from an old record player when it encounters dust on the groove. Only happens in pause menus (likely when sounds are minimal) and happens in all systems I own.

The dock is plugged into an hdmi hub into a Samsung audio system (then via hdmi into the TV).

Any clues? Been happening for years.

that's just what hd stuff has trended towards, super small text/ui elements. i get it, but it's not very good for people with eyesight issues, or smaller hdtv's for that matter. it'd be nice if there were size options.

You're not wrong, but it's exacerbated by the stupid font they use; it's basically impossible to read from any distance if you don't have decent eyesight. Zelda's font isn't huge, but it's designed so it's actually legible.

Funnily enough it's easy to read in handheld mode; it's almost like they keep it the same physical size between modes and just scale up the rest of the screen :v:

Did anyone here get Has-Been Heroes? A lot of GameStop plantspeople on Reddit are saying it's actually pretty good, and that it just got shafted in a lot of reviews because a.) pre-tuning patch and b.) they suck/disnt spend enough time learning the game. I keep dwelling over it since Isaac has made me realize I think I love the poo poo out of roguelikes.

I got it since at the switch launch EB were doing a preorder deal for it for $19aud. I'm terrible at that type of game and haven't beaten the first boss yet but it's pretty fun.

Although ffs can they make the text bigger in docked mode? It's almost impossible for me to read.

I couldn't care less about chasing graphics numbers but if they make it so you need to use the phone app for voice chat that's just idiotic. Unless they reroute sound through the app too, I guess? It would be a massive misstep, no matter if you were talking to useless pubbies or friends.
