Mons Hubris posted:What are middle range games? Mid-range covers a wide category of games that don't fit into the extremes of AAA games (Destiny, Assassin's Creed) and indie titles (Stardew Valley, Golf Story). They don't have the feature set or production values of AAA games but they do cost more to make than the usual indie titles. On consoles like the PS4 and XB1, the market has become polarized towards these extremes. This is a problem for Square-Enix since a good deal of their catalog fits into the mid-range category which is being forced out of the market. With the Switch, they have a platform where players are receptive to mid-range titles. Middleware can allow them to hit multiple platforms with their games, including the Switch.

That final level sucks. Idk if that's rage talking, or if it really just doesn't hold a candle to Champion Road. Either way, there's no Gusty Garden Galaxy so gently caress it.

It's been in development for a while (it was shown off during the first Switch Nindies video), so there's that -- it didn't just materialize out of nowhere like crappy games tend to do. I did tell myself I'd buy this right away when it came out, but haven't bit yet. Looks kinda like Fantasy Life with cats. Apparently it came out on mobile in September and has good reviews there. That's all I've got. Here's 20 minutes of gameplay -- is anyone else seeing a bunch of jarring frame drops or is it just me? That's incredibly distracting. enojy fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Nov 9, 2017 |

I just pre-ordered Xeno 2 collecters edition along with the custom pro crontroller. I've been wanting to get one for a while and now seems the perfect time. Also in Odyssey: is there a way to set the music that plays on different worlds? I did the thing with the toad in mush kingdom where he makes you set the music and could have sworn there was a message that said how to it from anywhere but if there is I can't find it. And another thing: I can't seem to get the amiibo feature to work. I was able to scan the bowser amiibo and get his outfit but any other time I try to use it I just get the failure message. I must be missing some step.

If you're still stuck on it, you can actually skip the bullshit second half in the Pipe with Pokio and the death-rings. Waggle while gliding as you hit the updrafts and you can sail right over the platform with the forks and magma all the way past to the one with Bowser's Painting.

That looks very cute and Fantasy Life was so extremely my jam you don't even know! I loved that game! I will say, from the footage, I give that game barely a passing grade in terms of cat puns. I saw a few, but not nearly as many as I was expecting. Maybe I'm spoiled by Monster Hunter, though. Now there's a game with some quality cat puns.

VideoGames posted:This is a joke post, yes? It depends a lot on the game's art style but I think that overly sharp textures can make a scene look really fake and hard to look at, like a bad HDR photograph. Witcher 3 otherwise goes for a mostly realistic look but then sharpens everything so much in post-processing that it makes the game look like it's taking place inside a giant vacuum chamber where there's no air to diffuse the light at all. In something like Mario where it's more cartoony and there are supposed to be crisp, sharp lines everywhere, sharper textures do make things nicer.

The reviews for the Switch version of Doom don't look too bad. It has frame drops sure, but not the apocalyptic kind I was imagining. Doom back on maybe??

Nintendo doesn't want streaming services because it distracts from the GAMES and it's a device for GAMERS, they're being strategic duh - silly geese in this thread Hulu is loving garbage though

Real hurthling! posted:When did they give metroid prime 4 a release year? Twas but a jpeg at e3 mp4 has been in dev since at least 2014 going by a few quotes. new pokemon won't be next year tho. rumour is that new footage will be in the jan direct for mp4 with a new subtitle, you'll know for sure that this will happen if by christmas day we have themes on switch. industry and nintendo are now realizing its best to announce games a few months before release rather than years for best sales/hype. it tracks, you can thank skyrim for that. reminder, we only found out about samus returns remake for 3ds a few months ago. hell, around this time last year we were only aware of zelda coming out at some point in 2017, the greatest year nintendo has had in a long time.
