Since Splatoon 2 and Mario XCOM weren't REALLY 2 player I got RBI Baseball. I think it owns. I like arcade baseball and was never a fan of 2K/The Show because they were too hard to casually play. And next week is Rayman Legends and the next week is Pokken. We went from no games to ALL THE GAMES pretty drat quick. Love that Switch.

Sucks that Double Dragon 4 looks like a dud. I was hoping with Arc System Works doing it they'd fix it up like they did with Contra

There hasn't been a single Double Dragon game in recorded history that wasn't mediocre/bad. I don't know why you'd expect the modern reboot to be anything but terrible.

Plague Knight is the most fun I've had with a platformer in ages. His movement options are weird but super fun when you get the hang of them, and the bomb mixing is a neat mechanic. And then when you get the pandemonium cloak you get to go crazy with all sorts of dumb mixes. I found him way more interesting to play as than Shovel or Spectre Knight.

Plague Knight's controls did not click for me, and I kept falling down bottomless pits in the Lich Yard, so I gave up. I really liked Specter Knight though.

Spectre Knight is cool but man, his wall cling makes the PS1 Spider-Man game look polished. I know you can hold Down to disable it but they should have mapped cling (or not-cling) to a shoulder button to improve the experience.

Infinitum posted:Starlink might scratch your No Man's Sky itch? This game looks very cool but gently caress you if you think I'm buying all those tchotchkes Ubisoft. The game had better be playable without them or I am pirating their NFC poo poo like Dr Tim Whatley pirates amiibos. I agree a switch port for no man's sky would be sweet. The latest update makes it a good game finally, and I'd take reduced visuals to ply it on the go.

Mario XCOM is so loving good you guys, it's ridiculous. Like if you said to me last year a Rabbids X Mario game was going to be good, I would have laughed in your face. If you like XCOM at all you should def buy it. Just unlocked Rabbid Mario and he's a beast with a shotgun

Any word on whether Sonic Mania is good? I honestly can't get into Mario v Rabbids enough to play it for long stretches (although I like it fine as a one-level-at-a-time type thing) and am looking into similar travel time-wasters

Sonic Mania is good enough that I, someone who never owned a Sonic game and found them impossible and terrible for so many years, am actually enjoying it and getting through the levels/worlds. I mean, I still think the characters control like they're drunk, but I appreciate it more than I ever imagined it and am happy with the money spent.

I just picked it up since I have a bunch of Amazon funbux sitting around and I'm going to try it in a little bit here. I'm putting my skepticism aside, seeing as how some of the Sonic Generations 2D levels were actually fun and I liked the original Sonic games well enough when I was little enough not to know good games from poo poo. I'm ready for an okay Sonic game.

Imagine the characters as bowling balls. Heavy and hard to get moving initially, and strong momentum once it gets going. The moment-to-moment challenges in levels usually are a task in the player operating around building this momentum or navigating around with it. It's very much a game about controls and pushing you to operate in different ways with them. That and the occasional  speed section where you whiz by everything and it looks cool

Oh definitely; it's trying any of the bits where speed isn't an option and finesse is required that make me want to throw a joycon through the wall. Also some of the enemies are just a pain to interact with. Speed sections are indeed

baram. posted:has anyone sent in their pro controller and gotten a it fixed? What, the D-pad thing? That's a design flaw, there's no fixing it (through Nintendo anyway.) Maybe the internet has come up with something by now? I tried adding varying thicknesses of electrical tape to partially block the contacts near the cross section and it basically wasn't worth it -- one layer hardly did anything, while two layers made the D-pad feel extremely good but also rendered it extremely hard to activate. Options are train your thumb to press gently, deal with wrong inputs, or ditch it.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Those "people with accents" voicing the original Xenoblade Chronicles are actually some pretty big names in British television and theater, because Nintendo US said "gently caress no" to localizing it (along with The Last Story and Pandora's Tower), so Nintendo EU did all three themselves just because they could. Hence none of the usual US VA's. Those people are also doing the voice work for FFXIV. Alphinaud's VA is Shulk. Sadly, none of the lalafells (or roegadeyns) have Riki's voice. Riki sneaky The game was just so drat good. Gaur Plain and Zanza are probably my favorite tracks. Ursine Catastrophe posted:I got Xenoblade for the 3DS thinking I was going to play the gently caress out of it and then never actually sat down to get into it, this is tempting me to though Hell I need to finish Brave Default. I unlocked Vampire, setup my chemist JP(?) grind squad and hammered out half a dozen class masteries for people... and then got distracted by other games. I barely ever started EO4 as well. I might've hit level 10 in that before I realized I was about to spend 50+ hours on another EO game and put it down. Golden Goat posted:Tatsu and Lin were bad.

Double Dragon II was cool at the time because of coop. I was never a huge fan though since I didn't get into beat em ups until Streets of Rage 1 and 2 which are much much better.

Tales of Woe posted:so is RBI Baseball really that awful, or just bad compared to other baseball games that don't exist on a handheld? It's MLB exercising their right to make a first party baseball title, because otherwise only the PS4 will have a yearly licensed baseball game. Unless you buy RBI, 'The Show™ 2017' is the only game in town.

Honestly I don't think most of the XCX cast was bad, just mediocre. Most of them probably could of been fine characters if the game fleshed them out more. But you know, its hard to do that when you have over 20 loving characters and the game is forcing you to use 2 of them in every story mission. Also in the worst decision you could possibly make for an RPG with a huge cast of party members, inactive members do not gain exp. So the result is you'll use Lin and Elma along with a handful of other members while ignoring everyone else. Unless you're willing to grind a ton there's no way to keep everyone up to speed.

Fun Times! posted:How the gently caress am I supposed to kill 14 rabbids in 3 turns for this world 1 challenge? Nobody told me this game would be hard. Respec your dudes so that they have the most dashes and (with Mario) the jumps. Use Rabbid Luigi too. Maybe even Rabbid Mario since he can suck everyone in and you can do a big burst shot at once. I don't remember the layout of that. But that mix, especially the double dashes and the stare attacks you can defeat them pretty easily. That being said, I also didn't come back and do the challenges until after I started world 3, so most things died in 1 hit, especially to dash attacks

Man I can't field for poo poo in RBI Baseball. Every single becomes a triple because either I can't see where my guy is running during a popup or I'm not controlling the person I think I will when it's hit and the other guy just fuckin' stands there staring. What a frustrating experience. Also why the hell doesn't it remember team selections, screw the Cubs and tribe I wanna play SF/Dodgers forever
