Golf convo reminds me. Was the love for that Neo Geo golf game sincere or ironic? Is it a challenging golf game? Like, at least as much as Mario Golf N64?

Pokken is a weird game. Its inputs are like tekken but the flow is very different. You cant even call it 'simplified tekken' really

Hey fellow kids I just bought this grip and it's a massive game changer:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07C5S15TG?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

My left joycon is pretty loose so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and fix the issue while getting a more ergonomic setup on handheld mode. I don't have the biggest hands and they still cramp up something fierce, the switch just isn't built for ergonomics at all.

Anyways not only does this grip secure the loose joycon, it adds two meaty nubs at the back and the whole thing feels fantastic. My hands naturally spread out to take advantage of the extra real estate and the device finally feels "right." I'm so ready for Monster Hunter now

Highly recommended for other nerds who are getting annoyed as hell at cramped hand syndrome

For the Jackbox games, Fibbage is a favorite among my coworkers, to the point where they really don't even want to play the other games in the pack.

I can't really recommend any specific Jackbox over the others, as they all have some really good games plus some kinda meh ones. 3 is probably my favorite all around, but it doesn't have Fibbage.

I don't know if the people going nuts over it in the thread were sincere or not, but it's pretty decent. It's an arcade game designed to eat quarters, so it can be a bit difficult. Like if you go over par too much, it eats all your credits.

I am having issues playing fortnite on switch, since a couple of weeks ago as soon as my player loads, the screen goes black and I get a message saying an error has occurred. I have restarted my switch multiple times, everything is up to date, I deleted and redownloaded fortnite. It's still happening and its very annoying.

Do you have an SD card in? People have had wonky issues with corrupt cards. The way to test is uninstall fortnite, pull the SD card, free up enough space on the console to install fortnite, reinstall and try it. If it works you probably have a borked SD card

There’s probably some weird bug with your Epic account. You may have to contact them since you can’t log out of your Epic account even if you delete and redownload the game.:v:

Yeah the shoryuken motion is terrible and pointless. Street Fighter also has a bunch of other unintuitive things like charges and 720-rotations. Tekken is so much more straightforward (while still managing to be the deeper game because SFV is badly designed)

Is Pokken like Tekken but with Pokemon? Would I like Pokken if I liked Tekken? Or is it just a name

Pokken has a demo so check it out. I’m not a big Tekken fan but like SoulCalibur and Pokken.

Heyho Hollow Knight question (yeah!).

I got to the broken vessel, fought it, lost, and searched a bench closeby. With the help of this thread, found it. Went back to fight the vessel. Died again, and changed some charms. equipped the charm that emmits that foul stench that hurts enemies. Startet the third fight, the fight went okay, but after some time, I hosed up a bit and got into a downward spiral. Managed to get a lot of hits it, IIRC stunning him twice. While the fight went on, I dashed into one of the helpers he spawns, and died.

So wen‘t back to the fight because I had a good feeling about it and had most of his attacks down....and he is....dead? I can beat him dream nail to access a further thing, and I can walk past his corpse to get an upgrade. Did I actually beat him post mortem with my stink or is this what‘s supposed to happen?

He must have died right as you did. Maybe your odor did the job?

Mario Tennis is alright, but the story mode just makes me sad. The GBC game was so so good. Why don't we get sports RPGs anymore? Also X Street games, those were also a hoot.

All the major sports franchises have had RPG modes for years, just most of them aren't on Switch (or are being translated into English for Switch like those Konami Pro Yakyuu Spirits games)

I just cant get in to Tekken at all. The last time I played T7 a friend of mine was using King. Once I realized that not only does King have a bunch of different grabs but that you need to know a different grab break for all of them I noped out forever lol. Havent played since.


It's two, the number of grabs is two, and the grab breaks are A+B or B+C.

As someone who was casual good at both games in college (read: spent time in practice mode memorizing moves and combos and could beat my friends, but wouldn't make it past the first few rounds in any real tournament) I definitely agree that Tekken's system is more intuitive, but at the same time each Tekken character has like 5 times the amount of moves as an SF character, so each game is really coming at the control scheme from a different place. Street Fighter has those difficult inputs because they're meant to be skill-checks built into a fast-paced battle -- pull off all your moves correctly under pressure to win a match. Tekken doesn't demand that you nail a complicated motion all the time, but it asks you to keep track of a larger amount of moves and button combinations to respond to different things. It's fine to appreciate one system more than another, but it's a misnomer to call the SF system "pointless", it's just different than what Tekken is trying to accomplish.

In the last 2 years I think they've added major actual story stuff, open world areas and from hearing other people talk about it a smarter progression system. It's still full of poo poo you're expected to know but are never told about but as someone who's gotten into it fairly recently I think it's great.

FIFA 18 for Switch has a fun (but decidedly un-flashy) player career mode. NBA 2K18 has a full-fledged story mode with a story and cutscenes, but it’s mostly stupid as poo poo and the entire thing is dragged down by the constant push for microtransactions.

Now look here you son of a bitch, before trying to correct me, maybe consider that I've played TWO whole Tekken games, and I'm 80% 70% sure that in both of them there were only two grab commands per character!! With variations in animation depending on what side of the body you grabbed them from!!

Warframe is CRAZY good.
Not just by F2P standards. There are loads of full-priced games that are much worse.

DE also has the best F2P model out there next to GW2.
