I just read that the Super Nintendo Switch won't have any voice comminication online, but rather you communicate in all games by summoning your Mii using the MK8 engine and communicate using a pre-set selection of dialog "I'm using tilt controls"

Alan_Shore posted:First, there's a lot of people who suck at Hollow Knight it seems I'm too impatient and scatterbrained for Souls games and Hollow Knight. I always get greedy with regards to damaging a boss or enemy and it's usually my downfall. That and the mere idea of "losing progress," however insignificant, really gets me down. I like the games, I really do. I've just been coddled by modern games' conveniences and babying.

A.I. Borgland Corp posted:Poppibuster mission was actually really easy and took like fifteen minutes. Also I discovered I can farm legendary cores off the praetor giant bird dragon thingie unique near the top of the world tree. I got like mine legendary cores doing this mission cause I kept fighting that thing over again to do the different specials I needed to do You've been able to farm legendary cores since the game launched, using driver combos and gold chips in weapons to boost drop rates you can get half a dozen or so cores per fight with level 60+ uniques. I forget who the best ones were for this though.

I'll never forget signing into GTA Online once and having screaming kids blasting out the speaker on the loading screen with no way to stop it. Private voice chat is good though.

I'd love to know the thinking that got Nintendo to not go with the idea of invite/friends-only private chat. Because it seems like it'd solve the 'kids being exposed to toxicity/pedos online' problem, and still allow them to talk with friends.

Switch sold 1.9 million units last quarter, PS4 sold 3.2 million. Does this say that the Switch's momentum is declining or that the PS4 is a legendary juggernaut?

I played the Torchlight games, and sending your pet to sell poo poo while you keep looting is a Hell of a convenience.

Guy Goodbody posted:Because they own some of the most valuable IPs on the planet. They could just stop making video games and they would still be raking it in from licensing Mario and Sonic and Mr. Zelda to comic books and Michael Bay movies or whatever. Sega is making games for Nintendo, but that doesn't mean Nintendo owns Sega's IPs, or did I miss a hostile takeover of Sega by Nintendo?

It means great games rule all: God of War sold 5M copies in it's first month and drove new PS4 sales. Nintendo's headline releases were Mario Tennis, DK:TF, and Labo, none of which topped 1.5M sales during the quarter. We'll check back once Pokemon/Smash drives the next wave of Switch sales before having "Momentum" conversation.

Just popping in to say that Go Vacation is a very chill game and worth it if you can get it on discount through like remaining BB GCU or something. The minigames are not that great, but it's more about the experience of relaxing in a semi-open world with your Sim-like avatar.

The amount of time and typing some of you spend getting worked up about paying for online is staggering. Also of course the average comments about labo is that it's a failure because it isn't marketed to 18-45 (clueless myopic) gamer dudes.

The best non-voice-chat method I've encountered was found in Triforce Heroes. Everyone should be allowed to communicate via adorable Link emojis. It's both effective and cute. Getting your point across has never been better.JazzFlight posted:Just popping in to say that Go Vacation is a very chill game and worth it if you can get it on discount through like remaining BB GCU or something.

Open world is good, pity about the mini-games. I hope Okami comes out physical. I'm all about single-player games being gotten physically whenever possible.

Jonny_Rocket posted:After reading into the details we know about the online service (that's published on their website), I feel like the $20 per year isn't that bad since you get the Save Data Cloud Backup feature and 20 NES games with online play added. It's going to be a blast playing against people online in games like Dr. Mario. It’s not just you. I’m about 12 hours in, and I’m getting close to giving up. I feel like I’m progressing at a fraction of the speed I should be. I have the mantis claw, but passed on messing with the mantis lords. I found the brooding mawkish and got totally destroyed a dozen or so times... so I’m thinking I should explore elsewhere. Maybe after a few wins, I’ll feel better about it

So far my experiences with voice chat in Fortnite squad games - which has it built-in - has only given me French kids who would not shut up. Or Belgian. Regardless, the point being that it can be a pointless feature unless you either have a common language or you know who you're talking with. While Splatoon 2 has been criticized for its approach to VC, I honestly feel that it was the best they could to make it work as part of the experience. I still prefer Discord to the Nintendo app though.
