Because I an use the sale of the PS4 to fund the switch and games so I don't have to pay out of pocket for another console.

any good games coming out soon, like before Bayonetta?

Dunno if it’ll make it out before Bayo but Hollow Knight is supposed to be hitting the Switch early ‘18 (it was supposed to already be out but the developers bit off more than they could chew).

Sometimes the weather in BotW is a PITA tho, like when you’re trying to get blue flame to the labs and you just have to sit there for like 15 minutes waiting for the rain to stop.

Pretty sure there’s a loading screen tip about lightning in BotW that explicitly tells you everything you need to know.

BotW was/is fun and good.

Looking forward to 1-2 months from now when the SMO honeymoon is over and people start making GBS threads on that game as well. These are literally some of the best games ever made.

Yeah this poo poo is weird. A month ago everyone itt was like “omg botw owns so much” and now all the sudden everyone’s nitpicking the gently caress out of it.

There can be valid criticisms on good games. You can also nitpick a good game that you really enjoy.

Protocol7 posted:

Is it really so weird to find things you don't like about things you do like overall? Like, I love my car, but there are some things I don't like about it that I nitpick too. :iiaca:

Yeah I get that, it’s fine to criticize the parts of games you don’t like even if overall you think it’s amazing. I meant more so that it just feels weird that the tenor of the conversation about the game has shifted from all-out praise to dogpiling on the minor flaws.

Percentage is more or less useless too. Download speed and especially time left are glaring omissions. e: and download size too

Yeah the pro controller is paradoxically overpriced yet worth every penny. I finally got one earlier this week and it's made playing BotW much, much better. Particularly because something about the geometry of my TV-Switch-sofa arrangement is such that if I don't sit in just the right spot my Joycons lag or just flat out don't register at all on a lot of inputs.

BotW is gonna ruin my life if I don’t start exercising some willpower. :argh: Forgot to eat dinner last night and got literally zero sleep because every time I was like “ok after this I’m going to bed” I’d spy another shrine or a shooting star or the Lord of the Mountain would make an appearance or any of the other slew of ways this game hooks you.

Actually it's not my second time doing it. I skipped like 70% of the shrines the first time and wanted to play the DLC but my save is on a friends Wii U so I started over smartass. I've played like 15 hours of it in a month I'm not exactly barreling through it. I'm jut burned out on playing it for an hour here and there and accomplishing practically nothing 1/4 of the time.

lol ok so they're a smartass for taking your OP at face value

Not complicated, I just came into it out of arrows and had to go back so I could knock them off, and before I figured out I could do that, I was trying to figure out how to get to the tops of them, which was a huge pain in the rear end. That comboed with the constant lightning and the inability to climb was just a huge unfun pain.
Yeah I agree, video games are less fun when you're bad at them.

Hopefully some children and adults will realize that the substantial asking price is better spent on more involved toys like knex or legos or whatever, instead of a toy that will offer a small amount of admittedly high-level enjoyment (much like the wii until it flew into a box, never to be seen again).

Why not keep both? The Switch is amazing but it’s in no way a PS4 replacement, they serve wildly different purposes.

Boggles my mind that some of y’all never (or very infrequently) use the dock. Maybe it doesn’t matter much for some games but like BotW is way way better played on a large TV with the Pro controller.
