Kilometers Davis posted:Should I/When should I grab the expansion pass? When the game clicks for you, if it ever does. A lot of the smaller content like the various clothing items are best to get early when they're still useful, though the real meat of the DLC is later on in the "story". I honestly don't know if it's worth $20, a lot of it is hit-or-miss and it'll really depend what you like about the game. For the record, it probably took me an hour or so of gameplay before the game really clicked for me. I think the game really starts getting good after you finish the tutorial and choose a direction to travel. The world is massive, and the best part is going places you "shouldn't" go to yet, or just going a random direction and following whatever seems interesting. That's really where the game excels.

I was at least expecting more discounts for VC games on Switch if I owned them already on 3DS/Wii U but I didn’t expect they’d just kill VC all together.

Kilometers Davis posted:I chose Breath of the Wild. I played it a bit before while my girlfriend did her playthrough but this is the first time playing it on my own. I’ve got some thoughts after my first hour. I ended up putting down BoTW for three reasons though I plan to come back to it. 1. I hate the way you need to pull things out of your inventory constantly which pauses the game, which takes you out of the flow of action. It really hurts the feeling (and the tension) when you can just pause at any time and restore all your health, and it sucks to have to deal with the janky inventory management as a side effect of the (cool and interesting) weapon breaking systems. 2. I did the thing that I do to myself with open world games which is I put off the stuff that seems fun in order to do 'chores' in the game like climbing towers to set myself up for the fun later. This is a bad habit with me and tends to result in that boring/aimless feeling. "Of course, idiot, you keep riding past the interesting stuff thinking you'll come back later." 3. I bought my Switch & BoTW the day Hollow Knight came out.

Well I preordered Octopath off Amazon as I get a 25% discount, and it comes out on my day off! ..... So of course it has a delivery date of the 17th. What.

My son is of the opinion that it isn't a final boss unless it has a second form.

KingSlime posted:I don't get the dungeon bit myself other than "it's repetitive" but apparently the game is just 8 separate stories and that's it. People usually expect these mini stories to culminate into a huge save the world climax which is apparently not there yeah, if only the devs had made it clear that- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2lwxuOk2FY&t=29s as I was saying, it would be nice if the devs were clear about there- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0nm7gXX0Vs&t=3s listen I'm just saying that they could have been more direct about the game having- https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/octopath-traveler-switch posted:Choose your fate.

Sure but every rpg that does multiple stories always has some sort of cap-off final chapter. You've played other similar rpgs yes? Including those from which Octo is clearly inspired/has its roots in?

KingSlime posted:Including those from which Octo is clearly inspired/has its roots in? Octopath Traveler's 8 character gimmick is directly lifted from SaGa, and the games that use that gimmick have them treated in similar fashion (excluding games like RomSaGa 2, Frontier 2). Multiple protagonists with their own quest lines that run independently from one another, and the games had varying levels of intersection (i.e. SaGa Frontier and SaGa Scarlet Grace having dedicated stories per character, Romancing SaGa 1 with a single major over-arcing plot intertwined with individual character stories).

switch journey continues - i completed mario, not usually a collectiblehead but looking forward to finding the secret challenge rooms etc, only fully started looking in corners about halfway through. good as hell. also i started hollow knight like every other mother fucker in this thread. i was never really fully able to get into sidescrollers or soulslike stuff, so it was kind of a surprise when i looked up and it was 3 hours later and my hands were clammy. good as hell. also beautiful. and like £10! gently caress would like to play zelda at some point if i find it for a dece price on ebay Generic Monk fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Jul 12, 2018 |

Oxyclean posted:Seems pretty low. It's only announced for Playstation and it's going to work with PSVR. No clue if Sony has made an exclusivity agreement, but I wouldn't be surprised with no other platforms announced. Which is a bummer because when I think of "Tetris" the last thing i probably thing of (platform-wise) is "Sony." I'd say timed-exclusive, I'd think the Tetris Company is particularly sensitive to bad deals after what happened with Nintendo in the 90s. I would be surprised if they could get it running on the Switch though

KingSlime posted:Yeah Super Metroid is lacking a certain polish that later SNES games consistently achieved. Nothing major but enough for some people to consider it "janky" If Nintendo keeps the pattern, super Metroid should be the next one they remake! (in like 10 years).

God, I loved that game and I'd love a remaster *wink* and sequel *wink* on this Nintendo Switch *wink wink* e: Last time I tried to play it on Dolphin though, the fog/cloud effects made everything grind to a screaming halt. Is that fixed or better?
