JaneError posted:New Switch owner here; got my OLED Tuesday. After giving it a couple days to get a feel for it, I'm thinking I need a grip. Any opinions on the Skull & Co. NeoGrip? I’m fairly certain that the Satisfye grip is the consensus best grip out there. I have one for the standard Switch and it’s awesome, I would assume the OLED grip is just as good. You might be able to get it on sale if you wait a couple of weeks, hard to say if the new one will actually go on sale this year.

Spacebump posted:I liked both Mario Strikers games and can’t believe they stopped making them. Some of the secondary characters in Charged were a little unfair. I think Toad could simply flip over the goalie if you timed it right. If you played online it was very common to run into teams of 3 toads that only tried to flip over the goalie. It was fun if you could pull it off but it wasn’t that OP because it almost always required a clean breakaway to work

It’s clever but it’s also lovely, it means there’s content on the game you purchased that you can’t access without buying another copy. The two version model they use for Pokémon used to be fun when I was in elementary school but now it’s borderline obnoxious.

mycophobia posted:the games are still made for children, but you grew up. can't be too mad about it imo While this is true, there also wasn’t online trading with randos when I was a kid so it at least made sense to trade with friends in person. These days kids can buy one version of the game and still trade for every Pokémon even if they don’t have a friend with the game, it makes having version exclusive Pokémon kind of dumb.

Commander Keene posted:Yeah, but there's a difference between a day one patch that fixes a few bugs or adds a thing they couldn't finish before deadline and a game that's blatantly unfinished and needs the day one patch to function. Aren’t there people beating leaked copies of the game without this patch? It sounds like this falls under “adds a thing they couldn't finish before deadline”. There’s plenty to complain about with GameFreak but this isn’t one of the things that bothers me.

Oxyclean posted:It's also pretty lovely to customers with data caps, slow internet, or who lack the ability to get their system online for whatever reason. This is a complaint against modern games in general, it’s not something specific to this Pokemon game. It’s weird to get mad about it for this one release as opposed to every other game where this same thing happens.

Golf Story is fun but most recommendations for it came a few years ago. It’s been superseded by a lot of better indie games in that time, but it’s still a fun golf game if you like golf games.

John Wick of Dogs posted:The dumb thing about The Completionist is he almost without fail complains that after completing everything in the game no new mode or bonus was unlocked. That’s not really true, he’s usually content with some sort of unlock-able as a completion reward, be it artwork or a character skin or whatever. I don’t think he’s ever complained about not unlocking a new mode, he includes unlocking new modes and completing them in his criteria. I could be wrong though, that poor guy drives himself crazy doing his completion gimmick.

Bust Rodd posted:Yeah, it’s actually pretty hard to find a nice case that doesn’t come with completely useless little cartridge holders, and like I said choosing 6-10 of my games every time I leave the house on a trip is dumb when I can just have every game I’ve ever owned at my fingertips. In my experience it’s better to have a smaller number of games to choose from. If I only have 3 games to pick from I’m much more likely to actually pick one and play it, if I have 40 I’m much more likely to be paralyzed by indecision and never actually play anything. This happens to be the reason why I don’t like Game Pass all that much, there’s too much content for me to pick a game and play through it for more than 10 minutes before I am tempted to try something else.

Wildtortilla posted:This boss in the lava zone of Metroid Dread sure is a boss fight. I just about have the fight down except I can’t figure out how to reliably dodge it’s double arm attack. For that double arm attack, I had pretty good luck using the space jump to hang out at the top of the screen. You just need to identify where the arms are before the attack so you can be in a safe spot.

Wildtortilla posted:thats what I try to do but it seems I take damage from the monsters head. Something that’s not arms is damaging me in what seems to be the only safe spot to dodge the arms. I had the same problem with the head. Depending on where the head is, iirc you can float around the middle of the screen to avoid damage but there’s not much window for error

Bust Rodd posted:There is nothing “cool” about Golf, lmao For those keeping score at home, this means that golf is the coolest thing ever. If you do like golf games Golf Story is a lot of fun, but its time as the go to indie game on Switch ended years ago. I finished my first play through of Metroid Dread over the weekend, if not for the EMMI’s I think it would be my favorite Metroid game ever. The EMMI stuff was fun and intense at first, but eventually dealing with them felt almost like a chore. Still easily my favorite game of the year though, I think I’m about to dive into a Hard mode run.

If I remember correctly some of the challenges were bugged and didn’t give me credit for them back around the time the game launched, so I sort of gave up on them. But they must have been fixed (if they were ever actually broken, I could have imagined that), so I think it’s time to dive back in

Morpheus posted:I mean, fair, I don't like roguelikes either, but played the hell out of Hades. My gf, who never plays top-down action games, absolutely demolished the game. This question wasn’t posed to me but I’m going to answer it because I don’t care for rogue likes either. To me roguelikes feel like someone made an entire genre out of the feeling of forgetting to save your game and dying, forcing you to start over and losing two hours of progress. It’s just not a good feeling to me, although Hades isn’t prone to that problem because you actually do make progress even when your character dies.

I am a big fan of Switch games that allow you to use the SNES controller as a viable control method, which Pokemon Brilliant Diamond does. Therefor, Pokémon Diamond is a good game.
