Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit

I'm bummed out from missing that Disgaea 5 deal. I wonder if other places like Walmart will do a price match with the ad or if they'll refuse because of it being a special Black Friday deal.

I just bought my wife a £300 Mario Kart machine for Christmas, how irritating and lovely are the joycons to use sideways for multiplayer? The right one in particular looks like a real piece of poo poo with the analog stick all the way over in the centre.

Do I just go buy some cheap wheels to stick them in and become a motion controls guy?

I’m an Xbox Duke apologist and I think either Joycon is alright.

They are real bad. The shoulder buttons are easier to hit with the straps on, though they feel like mushy garbage.

Same. The Duke was a national treasure and I fear I'll never see that kind of genius craftsmanship ever again, and even I can tolerate the sideways joycons.

Lego Worlds is Minecraft, Lego City Undercover is GTA.

Also, one is a halfbaked tech demo that never should have been published while the other is the second best Lego game only surpassed by Dimension. Too bad that'll never come to Switch since it died an early death.

They're actually pretty good. I've played plenty of mp Mario Kart, Odyssey, PPT, and Snipperclips with them. With and without the strap. (Without the strap definitely gets a little crampy after a while tho)

For Mario Kart if you're doing under 200cc just use the auto accelerator feature, since you'll be holding the button the whole time anyway. It makes using the single joycon much better.

And Lego Worlds feels like something the devs slapped together on their time off and Warner Brothers demanded they flesh it out. It did not turn out well.

I'm glad I'm not a big PC games person (Basically only play Overwatch on PC) so I don't mind the graphics on Rocket League. I was worried I might not get all the controls but the basics tutorial was really helpful.

And when I get paid next I'll get DOOM, like RL I never played it so I'm glad I'm experiencing both on the perfect console.

It's a little awkward but not terrible. If you're going to be doing a lot of docked two-player, though, you should probably just shell out for a pro controller, and the other player can use the joycons in the grip.

Alternatively, you could pick up another set of joycons plus a charging grip (separate joycons don't come with a grip, and I don't think you can buy the regular grip standalone), which will be pricier but has the added advantage of letting you do 4-player if you have people over, and won't give you or your wife an excuse to complain about an "advantage" with the pro controller (don't laugh, we all remember giving the lovely third-party N64 controller to our friends to use).

I found a 3D printed grip style I like, so I made a few of those. Not for everybody, of course, but it let me try out a few grip styles.

Nothing on the console is going to get enough play to justify a second set of joycons or a pro controller, thanks though.

Think I'll just see how it goes and make a call from there, thanks thread.

Yeah, I owned it on Vita and 3DS, and it wasn't enough! Switch was definitely a go.

Also, the 3DS version has lag. That really wasn't a powerful system.

Hey everyone, I have been considering getting a Switch for a bit now, probably taking the dive soon. I was wondering about all of the available accessories though, if you can help me out. I will probably use this 80+% in docked/console mode, and I am particularly wondering about controllers needed for 2 player co-op.

At least initially I am looking at: Splatoon2, Mario Kart, and Fire Emblem Warriors.

Splatoon 2's great, but keep in mind there's no local multi-player unless you've got 2 switches. So yeah, keep that in mind.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.
I wonder how streamlined XC2 is and whether Monolith has learned from their past mistakes or not. I'm currently playing XCX and while it's an amazing game it does its best to annoy the gently caress out of you every step of the way, much like most Monolith releases including XC1.

Now one thing I really hope someone told them is: verticality is cool and all but it's also ok not to force players to look around for loving miles and miles to find the only, minuscule path to climb up. Every time I see rock walls in their games I completely lose my poo poo. Every loving time.

I feel like I'm missing something with Xenoblade. I tried the last 3DS one and I just couldn't get into it. The battle system seemed to suffer by being real-time / MMO style.

I feel like that just leads to needing AI cause you can't control multiple chars simultaneously very well.

A good chunk of the previews for XC2 say they fixed a lot with what was wrong with X and is closer to XC1 in nature.
