GreenNight posted:Do not play the 3DS ver of Xenoblade. It's the loving worst. It's so bad. You can't see a drat thing that is going on. It's beyond terrible. If you purchased it, go emulate the Wii ver on Dolphin. Yeah it blows. Technically it's impressive they did it in the first place, but the result is a muddy lovely mess. They didn't even bother to do the UI elements properly so they're stretched and blurred.

The thing I need to get used to in Mario XCom is being able to fire before you move. I've already had several instances where I painstakingly planned out a turn that wasn't quite right and then realized I could have fixed everything by firing, then moving.

Internet Kraken posted:I thought the entire reason you use pipes for travel was because of plumbing. An interesting question. By which I mean I'm going to  now.I assumed, surely, that the origin of Mario's plumbing career would be Mario Bros. Mario Bros NES manual "Mario and Luigi" "This underground adventure" Mario Bros Atari Manual "Mario, the carpenter, and his brother, Luigi" "The water pipes in their house" Mario Bros Cab Control Panel "Pests come pouring out of the waterpipes, Mario cleans up the place!" Super Mario Bros. NES manual "Mario, the hero of our story (maybe)" It appears that there is no direct manual reference to Mario's job here, although plumbing is clearly implied. Let's check Super Mario Bros 3 just to be sure. Super Mario Bros. 3 NES manual "A MESSAGE FROM MARIO" "so Luigi and I are going on another adventure" Nope. Nothing. Wait hold on, what's this on the same page? "Bowser is back!" Bowser: "Ha Ha Ha! These are my 7 children who are going to help me take over the Mushroom World!" Al!

I can't find out when it was originally made, but I presume it's like the SNES advantage which was basically made right as SF2 was being released overseas, which means it could've been just lack of proper awareness of where buttons should've been for the new type of game hitting it big. My best guess though is that they wanted to place the buttons in a way that mimic'd the actual SNES pad. The layout of YBXA lines up pretty well if you move the X button up and center the remaining buttons on the buttom. Would maybe make it easier to use for people who wouldn't understand a normal stick layout (YXL, BAR), but of course in the process doesn't really make sense for a fighting game. Funny thing is that SNES versions of SF2 were already pretty good about remapping controls, so in the end it probably wouldn't matter too much if the button layout for the sticks were weird.

What the gently caress was that all about  On a side note, MS had a funky layout for original Xbox (and maybe 360) sticks too. It laid out the face buttons on bottom left and upper left three buttons, so you could play them kinda like a Neo-Geo layout (worked ok cause the Japanese curved layout, rather than the straight six grid on old American sticks), then shoulder buttons for the opposite remaining four.

Lodin posted:Syberia and The Longest Journey are some of those point and clicks that came out once the genre was "dead". It's really good if you like the old school stuff from before Telltale made everything into interactive movies. The Longest Journey is one of my absolute favourite games, and it's well worth picking up on GoG.com when it drops to $3-$4AUD during a sale. Dreamfall and Dreamfall Chapters... yeah, they're not so great. Syberia's drat lovely, taking you through all these old places in Europe that are just well past their prime and slowly dying. In a clockwork train. The sequel's not so great, because a good portion of it is just through rugged forest instead of fascinating steampunk-y locations, but it does give the story a decent conclusion. I haven't played Syberia 3 though, so I can't say anything as to its quality. Benoit Sokal has also ported Syberia to just about every goddamn platform you can think of ever since it first came out. Even the DS, apparently. And while you could buy it for $60 on the Switch, you could also drop a single dollar on it at GoG.com as both Syberia 1&2 are on sale right now for 90% off.

I'm going to stick with the fact that he jumps in and out of pipes clearing out messes of monsters and who knows what else. Exactly what I would expect a cartoon plumber to do. Do you really expect a cartoon plummer to snake poo poo out of toilets?

japtor posted:I had the big rear end Capcom stick and I think it had the same layout, maybe it was like the MS situation and it was the official layout? I vaguely remember for SF2 (and other iterations) it had a preset for the funky layout, but I'm not 100% on that. I didn't know about the MS situation, but that sounds plausible yeah. Honestly, I couldn't even find much detailed information on the Score Master in the first place and so I couldn't even tell it was first party or not. As for the Capcom stick you said, I saw one picture of a capcom stick but it didn't have the buttons labeled so I couldn't tell if it was a weird layout or not, but if it did match the Score Master then that gives support for the idea of an "official layout".

Internet Kraken posted:Xenoblade talk: Chronicles is the last JRPG I genuinely enjoyed playing, mainly because the setting is so unique. Its really loving cool to spend the entire game scaling a giant. I thought I didn't like JRPG's anymore until I played Xenoblade Chronicles. It's also probably my favorite soundtrack of any game and the only one I purchased that didn't already come with a game. So hyped XC2 has the people from Xenoblade Chronicles doing the soundtrack, I'm buying the game on that fact alone.

Switch plus travel update: Status = Switch good I've travelled on a 6 hour flight and had my switch the entire time. It was awesome as hell. Zelda was the star of the flight, the only part that sucked was doing a shrine that required motion controls but you can just disconnect the right joy con and it works okay. Mario + Rabbids is so amazingly perfect for long flights, it kept me occupied for hours. Sonic Mania is really fun. Flights do not make blue balls any easier to do.  I have another 6 hour flight today and am planning on more Rabbids and also probably some shovel knight. My hotel room tv had a HDMI connection so bringing my dock was a great idea. Played splatoon2 on hotel Wi-Fi and finally got to profreshional in salmon run.  I unfortunately didn't attend any rooftop bbqs so my review of those will have to wait.

I wasn't feeling the Lin - Tatsu dynamic at first but when I realized they were forcing me to repeat the same joke through a menu like, what, six times, I realized it was hilarious and amazingMacaluso posted:I thought the Switch only had about a 3 hour battery life. Is that not the case? Depends on the game, as they stress it to varying amounts. I think Zelda is still the worst, at something like 2.5 hours. Lighter stuff will get twice that
