Rexroom posted:Oh yeah, Rayman Legends Definitive Edition was released today, and while it's pretty faithful to the other versions, the load times are the longest compared to all the other versions - yes, even the Vita version. Digital Foundry suspects Ubisoft did some aggressive data compression on the game. I bought the physical edition of this today and the load times are pretty aggravating. It's still Rayman Legends wherever you want to play it, which is nice. But it's like 10-15 seconds every level and a good 8-10 to exit the level back to the level selection. Not a deal breaker, but come on guys I'm paying $32 for a pretty old game here, at least do it right. I also tend to just bunny hop everywhere in games and I keep accidentally going in levels I don't mean to, and that's a half minute of loading just to get back out.

njsykora posted:The idea that they made the game load times longer on a system with entirely solid state storage for the sake of just making the file size smaller when it wasn't exactly huge to begin with is amazing. Wonder if there was a Nintendo-imposed requirement to keep the game size below 3 GB. ExcessBLarg! fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Sep 12, 2017 |

If Nintendo is married to the idea that all joycons need to be have the option to be used as mini controllers, replace the analog stick with the DPAD instead of the buttons.

Dr. VooDoo posted:Bob's Game did finally get released. The long wandering RPG morphed into a generic knock off puzzle game which makes the entire saga even more No, see,the RPG "Bob's Game" was a story ABOUT the titular "bob's game," the best game in the world which the main character enter a tournament for. The game available on Steam is the latter, the in-story game divorced from the RPG that was to originally contain it.

Real hurthling! posted:What did they do? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzVQELfxUps It's not directly based on him but as a parody of obsessive Sonic fans in general like razorsaw is saying. It's not that hard to see where they're angling with it though, they have a bunch of other weird Sonic fan jokes through the entire series.

That’s really disappointing. I was considering double dipping but I’ll stick with it on Wii U. Hopefully they could add an option to download uncompressed assists for faster loading or something.

Bean posted:Okay but lying to avoid a lawsuit is a thing There's not really anything specifically based on that individual. The character's outift is a parody of Sonic's appearance, his being overweight is (unfortunately) a common negative stereotype of obsessive fans, and pretty much every Sonic specific-joke is a "controversy" the fandom has been vocal about with or without Chandler's input. You have to really stretch things to make it about them. It's really just a stock "fanboy" episode and Misery parody.

Hell, my 6s might end up being a record for me not switching. It does 100% of what I need and I already own it. Probably just gonna pay a little to replace the battery when that goes and get another 2 years out of it.

I'll get the X for the simple reason that it's time to update my phone anyway and it looks nice. Although lol at it being well over $1500 here. Considering the excellent exchange rate for USD we have at the moment I'm tempted to see if I can cross-import it somehow. Also I played Rabbids for an hour on the train last night to a dinner I was going to and I can confirm no attractive women asked to multiplay with me so I am now considering the console a failure.

I'll try again when I get back to Brisbane*. * in brisbane nobody uses the trains because they never run and go nowhere so I'm more likely to have some nice people come and permanently borrow my Switch.

Has it been posted yet that the tags for the Direct tomorrow have a bunch of leaked stuff in them? quote:There’s additional evidence to consider, with two other tags having also been attached to the video – although they too were quickly removed alongside Super Smash Bros.. Those two tags were for Mother, known in West as Earthbound, and F-Zero, each with related Nintendo Switch rumors. Those three tags (Mother, F-Zero, and Super Smash Bros.) are a rather odd combination of Nintendo I.P. for the video to include, especially given the pre-existing rumors that GameCube iterations of the latter franchises and the Japan-only GBA title, Mother 3, are en route to Switch.

So I've never watched a Nintendo direct but for the first time in forever I'm not working when this one comes out, how would someone watch this? Is it streamed somewhere live or do you wait for it to go up like a YouTube video or some such?

They could just upload the video. I guess it's to stop you from skipping ahead?

Live streamed on YouTube and Twitch and the archive will be on YouTube within a few minutes of it ending. There's usually small differences between regions with some games showing up on one stream before another and differences in release dates based on region. As for the tags, I'll believe Smash and Mother but I refuse to get my hopes up for F-Zero. I can't handle that disappointment again.

They seem to have the separate prerecorded videos/trailer set to upload as they're revealed on stream, or close enough to it. The livestream does a good job of getting everyone to watch a thing at once, watch trailers etc they might not otherwise, and encourages talking about 'em. It's simulcast on twitch as well, in case that's anyone's platform of choice.
