Dizz posted:Disgaea 5 chat because nobody asked. I can't wait to have time to play this. It totally scratched the "I need FFT" itch on my PS4 and I'm willing to shell out the price again to have it portable. I keep hoping for more tactical games. Outside of the obvious Mario Rabbids game, I'm also looking forward to Tiny Metal and WarGroove. WarGroove looks a little thin on the surface but I'll probably give it a shot.

I went physical with Spla2n even though I subscribe to the "MP games digitally" philosophy solely because of the 20% E3 discount. If I could have gotten that digitally I probably would have.

ghostwritingduck posted:Any word on how big of a boost Snake Pass got with its 40 percent off? I was hoping for some news about the nice profit boost to encourage other indie developers to try some discounts. I don't know how much of a boost it got but I think the sale price is pretty much what I think the game is worth, pricewise, so I'm glad I got in at that price point. Definitely a fun game though. If they released more stages I'd be all about DLC.

I love my Switch but every time I go into the Jungle or under a waterfall in BOTW and see the framerate tank I just kind of  to myself.Wonder how much of this is "it's just not a heavy lifting system" and how much of it is "crappy first gen programming" or a mix of the two.

That's my thinking too. I don't think anyone expects it to run 60fps with PC-style ultra settings but I am excited to see when they actually get a great understanding of the hardware and optimize the everloving poo poo out of things.

My go-to watermark for improvement is how great Uncharted series looked over time on the PS3. If they can incrementally get those kinds of improvements on the Switch I'll be happy as hell.

Nothing unplayable for sure. My intention wasn't to imply as such, just that there are visible framerate drops in certain high asset areas. It's usually more of an "ugh" than a "wow this is unplayable" feeling. The game has more than enough going for it in a four hour play session to make up for maybe twenty or thirty seconds of cumulative framerate drop. My Switch has spent maybe five minutes undocked in all the time I've owned it though, and most of that was me squinting trying to make out the screen because of glare/sunlight. Clearly my rooftop party should have provided more shade.

Beastie posted:All I know is that Psyonix said that RL will run 60fps both docked and handheld and that is pretty loving rad to me. That's my feeling too. I think for the games I want on the Switch it'll run perfectly fine. I play very few AAA titles so I'm likely going to consolidate down from PS4 and Switch to just Switch in the next while. The more "whimsical" style of games that it attracts appeal to me far more than most AAA multi-platform titles.

Ugh I have to be honest, I think based on this splatfest I don't see myself playing Splatoon enough to make it worth the $75CDN that Nintendo wants. Good that I realized this before it shipped I guess. I really want to love this game but I'm never going to put in the time to get good and it'll be like Splatoon 1 all over again where it sits unused.

I have a 5hr flight coming up next weekend and I'll probably bring my Switch. I don't really want to carry two chargers so I'm hoping that if my MBP's USB-C charger can charge a beefy laptop it will do well with the Switch. Should be good, right? I'll just need to Amazon a stand if that's the case.

That's what I figured. It's at the office so I can't test right now but I didn't know if I should immediately rule it out and pick up something switch-specific. Es bueno!

Bought Sonic and I've been playing for five minutes here and there. As someone who never played the original and generally didn't play a lot of 8/16 bit stuff, this game is confusing. I'm still not sure what some of the game mechanics are which I'm sure are second nature to everyone who played it before. Like sometimes I mash some buttons and Tails lifts Sonic up and then sometimes I can break walls and then sometimes I just spin against a dead end or I hit an enemy and I toss my rings but then other times I hit an enemy and I kill them. I feel like I just need to watch some kind of "sonic for idiots" youtube guide because I'm feeling kind of like a grampa who can't work a smartphone right now. e: Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a great game and based on what I saw I think that once I figure out what the gently caress is happening on screen and equate it to things I can make my fingers do then I'll have a great time with it. Definitely feel it'll be worth my $27.something.

How many games do we currently have that care 3+ players which can use joycon limited controls? I've been thinking about picking up a second pair of cons for when friends come over. I'm guessing MK8D, maybe bomberman? Guessing the Mario Party will, whenever it comes out.Tender Bender posted:I don't really like how busy sonic levels are. The combination of many paths and stuff to do but you're supposed to blow by it instead of exploring it all just isn't my thing. I don't mind the busy level design but that combined with not really understanding the mechanics means that  STUFF IS HAPPENING ON SCREEN and I am barely able to follow  irlZaphod posted:Actually being able to get Tails to lift you is basically new to Sonic Mania (well, apparently the developer of the game who made the unofficial Sonic remakes way back had the Tails lifting in those too). I only knew abut it because I read someone in the Sonic Mania thread mention it. I think you press Up and hold the jump button or something. In the original Sonic 2 when they introduce Tails, you couldn't control him yourself, but he basically mimicked your actions. Thanks for this. I gathered some of this stuff and I think it's just a matter of becoming comfortable with it. Compared to games like SMB it just seems to toss you in the deep end right away. Well, at least a deeper end than I was expecting

creationist believer posted:(I've only played Party pack 3) also, a few game types just work much better in person. For example, in JBPP3, there's a game where everyone receives the same instruction on their phone except one person who receives the instruction "try to blend in with everyone else". And the instructions are like "hold up the number of fingers for how many steaks you've eaten this week" or "raise your hand if you played a high school sport" or "point at the person most likely to fall in love with a mermaid". It was funny with old friends in the same room each time when the vegetarian held up 3 fingers, no one raised their hand including the lone jock, and everyone pointed at the guy whose favorite movie is Little Mermaid except his wife. As the host, can I choose .. game modes (?) that would be more conducive to remote players or streams? That would be great honestly. Have a mode that's optimized for local and a mode that's optimized for remote. I don't always have four other people willing to drop by at a moment's notice :[

I still have to do the loving robo-camel. Honestly I feel like I should do a few dozen more shrines to get my heart bar up a little but ehhh. Maybe I can do Ganon with what I have. This will probably be the first story-based game that I've finished since Fallout3.

XCom Mario is pretty great. I have a deep, visceral dislike of the Rabids and the weird random humour they're trying to inject. My Rabids annoyance curve really peaked to dangerous levels in the first five minutes of the game and after that it's just flatlined with a few blips here and there. Which was really my only worry when buying this game since everything else about it seemed 100% up my alley. If they had used literally any other franchise other than the idiot Rabids this would be a perfect game.
