I just found out TWEWY won't let you use joycon and touch controls simultaneously. Wasn't that the whole point of the original?

From a mechanics standpoint, yeah. The rest of the draw of Twewy was the present day street fashion style that is now hilariously dated and the story.

Basically what im saying is dont spend 60 bucks on a phone port

I seem to remember people saying the story of bayonetta 2 making more sense and integrates with the gameplay more than the original but after 2 chapters in its just as nonsensical and bat shite insane

Its still stupid and disjointed, and if you didnt play the first one its even more confusing and disjointed because you need to reference its dumb story since theyre parallel/integrated

That sounds daunting but i have played bayonetta 4 or 5 times and i just mashed through every cutscene after playthrough 1. Something about lumen sages and a witch called Jeanne, very satisfying to trim a run through from about 13 hours to about 7 though

Same, buddy.

Cutscenes arent gameplay

So I have never played Dark Souls, but I have heard it is stupid hard. Is it fun as well?

Be warned, playtests indicate that other than portability this might be the worst version yet so if you own literally any video game console or PC manufactured since 2006 you may have better and significantly cheaper options to play this

I've never played Diablo 3 but I played an absolute shitload of 1 and 2 when I was younger - is 3 good offline? I'm interested but honestly extremely unlikely to play online.

If the genre appeals to you, Diablo 3 will be fine offline. You might not have access to seasons and all the post game content people play through over and over again for some reason, but the singleplayer is beefy as is especially if you can stomach playthroughs with different classes.

Also the console controls are very good unlike the genres awful PC controls.

It makes a lot of sense if you believe the collector also wants to play the game. Keep the collectors edition poo poo all wrapped up and get a separate copy of the game you can play and not worry about perserving.

Of course such an insane person probably buys two collectors editions anyway because they have to have a pristine one and one they can use

But....why??

Same reason splatoon hits you with a mandatory cutscene telling you the maps.

Barudak
May 7, 2007

It is every time you boot up the game and everytime you change modes after they swap maps.

It basically destroyed my will to play the game in a couple of days, and since it stalls you from singleplayer as well I lost interest in that too.

I had wondered if that cutscene was there to disguise a background download of the minor update and/or a loading screen.

It would make sense if it was, but it isnt since it can occur after loading. Its just a mandatory “slam A to resume having fun” cutscene.

I’m like that too with non-Smash fighting games but I really love DBFZ and want to get decent at it. Anyone have any good suggestions for beginners? I’m going through the tutorials and story mode.

Go to the fighting game thread. Before you go keep 2 things in mind

1) The only way to really get better is to play other humans
2) You will lose a lot. A ton. For a long time. If the very long time investment of mastering a game where all the failures are entirely your fault doesnt appeal just bail out now enjoy story mode and watch some tournaments

Guys I'm a little lost in Hyper LIght Drifter.

I did the East. I am in the west. I have 2 purple shard things. I need to get 3 to access a door near the boss on the North part (of West). I arrive at a door south of the teleporter in the West. It has... 2 shards on it. I have... 2 shards. Why the gently caress can I not open it?

I get being cryptic in games. (hell, I love Dark Souls stuff..) but this game just feels like it's wasting my time sometimes... which is a shame because I love everything else about it.

Not quite sure if this is the answer but shards dont carry across regions; east only work for east

Totes. Sorry I should have said that. I have like 4 in the East and DEFINITELY 2 in the West.

I’m not sure then. Since you did east I assume its not a 6 door masquerading as a 2 door. I remember west having some of the trickier routes hidden behind crystals, but not enough to help in specific, sprry

You have to bear East North and West before you can do South. North’s boss was probably the hardest for me but west’s layout felt trickier.

On the subject of streaming apps, I've got a hunch that Hulu paid for one year exclusivity in the US back before people saw the switch would be big and we'll likely start seeing other streaming apps on the platform starting next month. Especially since kid eyeballs are amongst the most valuable ones.

I can basically assure you this isnt the case and kid eyeballs are trash that almost nobody wants.

Never played Mark of the Ninja before, started it last night. Like the gameplay so far, don't really like the presentation. The Saturday morning cartoon cutscenes, the level of blood and gross gurgling sounds, the orientalism. The game almost loads too fast. You press a button and your on the next level or menu instantly with no transition, it's a little jarring.

Is there a way to just knock people out instead of kill them? I'd like to be able to play this in front of my kid

There is like one or two non lethal items but for the most part a non-lethal route is "dont touch the guards"

Child of Light is a fun RPG with some co-op* with beautiful painted backdrops and a fighting system wholesale lifted from the Grandia which is absolutely not a bad thing. The rhyming thing is gently caress awful but if you play RPG games for the plot you get what you deserve.

I read they had developers regularly working 100 hour weeks on Red Dead 2. Just, holy poo poo, dudes.

What's crunch time like at Nintendo, do they have the same problem or do Japanese labor laws mitigate this somewhat?

Red Dead 2 has real time horse testicle shrinkage and horse digestive system... was this necessary?

I'm not saying not to buy Red Dead 2, just saying the labor practices of the games industry are shocking and horrible (I'm sure it was similar in Assassin's Creed and Starlink as well)

Rockstar is going to sell 40 million plus copies so to upper level management awwwww hell yeah it was worth it
