BOTW was developed primarily as a Wii U title. The Switch version is essentially a flawed port.

They should have just milked what was left of the wii-u for another year and released a better version of switch. Maybe one that wasn't rushed out the gate and released with their other flagship, you know, Mario lol. And more than one game that isn't $50 games that should be pack ins Nerds would have bought BOTW and played it again on the switch anyways But hey what do I know.

No I do not care what the ~backstory~ of the alien and the engineer is, thank you very much Prometheus. Same poo poo with every minor character with even just five seconds of screen time in Star Wars getting a convoluted wiki page. Sorry for minor derail. Lots of other games fall prey to this poo poo, just can't think of any outside of Zelda right now.

I cared about the engineers. Because I like learning the backstory for mysterious poo poo like that. Prometheus was not very good, though. Like I've gone down the wiki hole of the 40K Warhams but I'll never play the game because Eh. But the stories are interesting.

The tabletop 40k is sperg central. Some of the PC games are good though. Some of the novels are legit good too, but it's from a couple good authors. Most are not that great.

I'd be really down with an actual 3DS followup, since that's secretly Nintendo's best console. The Switch is very obviously a home console first, what with the poor battery life, awkward size and the fact that you have to control it with 2 strap on things that make it even wider.

Yeah the battery life is poo poo and gonna get worse when newer "higher performance" games come out. The ergonomics are absolute poo poo. The pro controller is nice but lol @ $70. Replacement joycon controllers (ones that come with it) are I think $90.

Prometheus had some cool ideas, and some cool scenery, but they ran with the mediocre ideas instead of the good ones. Like the engineer being eaten by that dumb cgi alien. There was a lot left on the cutting room floor that probably would've filled in a lot of the plot holes, too. Also, scientists on a strange planet find strange snake like creature and immediately attempt to touch it (after taking their helmets off, of course). The Rat posted:The tabletop 40k is sperg central. Some of the PC games are good though. Yeah, I've scene a couple that look cool. I was interested in the new FPS they have coming out, but it's all about the Tyranids from what I can gather, and I'd rather blow away the chaos marines instead. I'll probably look back into it at some point. Also, that Zelda game is a perfect example of everything Nintendo does wrong. It's 2017 and that is the best looking game they've ever released, but it looks like something from 2012 or so. They're always technologically behind the curve, and they keep trying to be innovative instead of improving on what works.

But the world is pretty massive and Nintendo was never known for good performance since N64. Framerate isn't graphics, it's gameplay. How smoothly the camera moves, the lag between you pressing a button and the character doing the action - that's all framerate. When you enter a new area and the camera suddenly moves at half the speed you're used to it's pretty noticeable, at least to me. I just don't get it. Even some PS4/XBone exclusives can't manage to maintain 30 FPS. I thought developing for a single set of hardware was supposed to solve that issue?

I imagine a lot of it is developers trying to do too much, and instead of tweaking it correctly, the publishers push the poo poo out the door going "it meets the bare minimum, gently caress off"

Amiibos are such a loving lame cash grab. Some of them are like $25+ maybe that's the used price idk. Like in Zelda you can only get Epona with an amiibo. I mean I can't fault them for it, i'm sure it's making them a ton of money. The NES Classic is only popular and gained hype because they've sold out and seemingly impossible to find. I don't know why people still insist on playing hard as poo poo NES ROMs in 2017. It was cool in the 90s when I was in 8th grade. All the Switch's are going for pretty low around me locally, they're becoming more readily available. gently caress those scalpers.

You really missed out on some good ol age of sigmar drama then and all around rage. When they released the new version of fantasy, they didn't add any points to models and said bring what ever you want to the table. Some groups literally could bring infinite number of models if you had them. It took a community lash back, which GW has been trying to kill off their community websites for years, so actually put in a point mode and then add in some not crazy rules. Oh speaking of crazy rules, this bretonian unit here gets +2 whatever if you pretend to drink from a chalice and say for the lady before every roll.

That rule should be amended so that the player must actually drink from a chalice and it must be at least 15% alcohol by volume.

Never played tabletop but the over the top grimdark edge of warhammer is ideal for video games; when they get it right (Dawn of war, vermintide, total war). Prometheus; immediately regretted my decision when the opening scene was giant diaper man creating life on earth or whatever. I'm not one to nitpick movies but this one was so stupid I couldn't help myself. A healing pod that only works on men? Running away from a rolling spaceship like a cartoon? So on and so forth. Luckily the Covenant trailer looks real good. Kenny powers gonna gently caress some aliens up.
