mixed depending on the game. OoT is the one with the most noticeable issues like broken fog effects and glitched textures. it has like 5 frames of input lag which is pretty drat bad in a game that runs at 20 fps

the other games in the expansion seem mostly fine imo

has OOT ever run at a steady 30 in an official capacity?

It's starting to feel like N64 online emulation issues are more just people with poo poo connections.

this would cease to be an issue if they used rollback netcode for n64 online, though. pretty wild to me that they would launch this service without it

I think I'd have to mod my Switch for that? Is it on NSO? I know Earthbound is

Earthbound is not on NSO for some reason, and neither is Super Mario RPG. Earthbound is always my suggestions when it comes to classic JRPGs, but I guess it's a moot point in this thread unless they add it down the road

Yeah. Some plot is good. But with Gen 6 onward they decided you couldn't walk a few steps without being stopped by some annoying kid who has to give you twenty minutes of more story or force you into some tutorial for some minigame you'll never do again. Sword/Shield toned it down a bit but it's still not great. The Let's Go remake was really refreshing in this regard. Blue shows up to tell you about badges right after you beat Brock and he's like "you know what, never mind, you know what you're doing."

people loving hate those remakes but to be honest they're the most fun I've had with Pokemon since...the original Diamond? and the best looking 3D games by a landslide imo

I saw there was some GitHub leak related to GeForce Now that had "Chrono Cross Remaster" on there so god I hope that's true. And if SE decided to put it on Switch I don't see why they couldn't bundle in another port of the recent CT re-release alongside it. An easy win right there

on a less negative note i'm looking to buy an adapter for my ps4 fightstick for switch. i used to have a brook one that worked but felt janky but i lost it very quickly.

there's these two from brook, pretty much what i had before. i think the only difference is one also supports xbox controllers which i don't need.

theres also this thing from mayflash which looks like it would work as well. anyone have any thoughts. or prayers.

I have a Mayflash one that I use to connect that 8bitdo Switch fightstick to my PS4, and it works great. can't speak to that specific adaptor tho

IGN Review posted:

I just couldn't shake the feeling that this was Persona without the heart – without the unforgettable companion characters, the potent personal story, the incredible soundtrack, and the jaw-dropping twists and turns.

persona usually has interesting theming, but the "jaw dropping twists and turns" (ie the textual plot) of 4 and 5 are complete dogshit

Saying something is not as good as another thing by just saying it’s worse without explaining why isn’t a good critique

the IGN review goes into a couple specific things from persona they would like to see (these two examples are about grinding and plot pace)

quote:

I think about the Showtime attacks and unstable shadows added in the Royal version of Persona 5 as examples of how Atlus has tackled this problem successfully in the past.

quote:

It takes upwards of 20 hours to find any personal motivation beyond survival and figuring out what's going on, and the companion characters are also very under-developed.

I feel the criticisms are fair for the most part, but the "persona without the heart" subhead is going to get people mad

Someone in the AC thread said you can pay Leif 100k to get rid of all of your weeds. I didn't play for about 6 months and it honestly wasn't too bad to clean up manually, but if you're still rich from turnips or something it's nice there's a shortcut.

I enjoyed X and Y a lot and thought it had a good balance of features without making the game drudge on.

Probably the most fun I have had with a Pokemon gen since Red/Blue.

I too enjoyed X & Y, but mostly because I'm a sucker for fashion in games

Gen 4 is widely regarded as the worst gen. This is exactly what it deserves.

I feel like sword/shield are the most hated, no? or is that the most recent=bad pokemon curse

I've felt like most Pokemon games were a step down since BW2, which had a really fantastic postgame. Wish the Pokemon World Tournament feature would come back to one of the future games since that was always my favorite concept---a huge assortment of different battles starring a trove of past gym leaders across gens.

Legends seems like a big swing at least, which I prefer over the fairly mediocre stuff they've been putting out lately

I really hope it's good! would love a cool mold breaking game from GF following all of the backlash around the last gen

I think there's a point where you get strong enough to just go through it, but the grind is pretty real at the beginning. The fights aren't hard, in that there's not much to actually do, but you can get under-leveled if you don't fight a lot.

yeah the curve in the first few towns, before you get any other characters, is the hardest part of the game by a pretty wide margin

despite this, it is the best RPG of all time

You're right Undertale was poo poo.

I sort of kid. I know it's popular, and I don't want to be the guy making fun of it for that. The battles were definitely not my thing, I do not like bullet-hell (one of the things putting me off of Cuphead incidentally) and the writing felt too... on-the-nose? So many lines felt like eye-winkingly "Aren't I scamp?" that it put me off pretty hard. It felt like it was trying to hard to be cute and quirky, not natural.

I only beat it once to be fair, but it certainly didn't hold me long enough to want to try again. I keep telling myself I should, maybe there's something I missed, but who has time.

Same thing happened with me and Infinite Jest. I read it and was generally unimpressed. It was fine, but I didn't get what all the noise was about. I certainly won't be re-reading it though due to length alone. Which is a pity. I don' t like feeling like I'm not getting something.

I think if the tone of the writing didn't vibe with you, you aren't going to get much out of the extra stuff in the second playthrough (though that stuff is truly great if you have a fondness for the main cast)

the best thing about the writing in Undertale is how earnest it is, so if that hits you as artificial it definitely isn't for you

If I liked Persona 4&5 but never quite finished them and I like turn based rpgs like old school final fantasy would I enjoy Shin Megami V? And how is it undocked? I have an OLED I basically play undocked 80% of the time.

if combat is what draws you to jrpgs, smtv is for you. you won't get the life sim aspect or quantity of writing you get in the Persona games, though.

considering that botw is preceded by skyward sword and twilight princess, it seems like the zelda team were having a hell of a time making that classic style game anyway. it is crazy to me that that game exists and is as incredible and interesting as it is

makes sense that a lot of zelda diehards dislike it, because it is very much not the "classic formula polished to a mirror shine" that Nintendo is known for

BotW's seen pretty harsh reevaluations in the years since release, so it'll be interesting to see if taking so long to make a glorified expansion pack comes back to bite them

Because gamers are dumb. And the dumbest amongst them become critics.

it isn't a critic's job to review a game based on what might eventually be coming to it

are we really calling the entirety of the games press into question over mario sports game takes
