One of my big early complaints was the map guy. I didn't know he 1) whistled (I play nearly all games on mute) or 2) sent his maps up to his wife to buy after some amount of time. Figuring those out helped. I'm really excited to get home (and get the kids to bed) then get started on Ys.

Figuring those out helped. neither of these would have helped me for greenpath sadly, because i never heard him, never saw the papers he left behind to lead to him, and when i was most desperate for a map i was balls deep in greenpath with no idea how to get the gently caress out with no map so i couldn't go out and just buy one from town it was Bad since then i've gotten better about finding him but i still think it's a subpar system Kaubocks fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jul 31, 2018 |

I wanted to pick up Titan Quest today, but the few places I have called don't seem to have it in stock. Is it only getting a digital release today and the physical comes later? Or should it be available in stores?

Kaubocks posted:anyway just felt like tossing this grenade in the thread. i'm gonna stick with it because there are enough things i like about the world itself and the npcs that i want to see more of it. we'll see if it holds my interest long enough to beat it No that's all pretty fair. Some areas are dull, though not many, and Deepnest is awful and is meant to be and if it bothers you that much they did a good job with it. I wish you luck with your map troubles, but if you progress enough you can just buy them all. It's nota great solution but it helps in the end.

I was cast adrift in a sea of microtransactions, loot boxes, and unlock able cosmetics. Beset on all sides by battle royales, battle passes, and battles against developers. I've seen the things we've all seen. fillable progress bars, day one DLC, endless loot treadmills, skinner boxes for boxes of skins... i thought gaming had passed me by... now I know there's a better way... The Nintendo way.

Detective No. 27 posted:Map maker leaves papers scattered around where he is. The Bloop posted:Also hums loudly. literally mentioned both of these in a follow up post my friends greenpath is like the second place you ever go to in the game. it was far too early in the game for me to correlate papers on the ground meaning he is nearby, so it's not something i was actively looking for. i never heard his jaunty tunes, but if i had i would have looked because by that point i had at least learned that usually meant an NPC is around. but early in greenpath you see a npc you've never seen before, but they run away. so naturally you are drawn to follow them. and i got so focused on following them that i eventually hit a rest stop halfway through greenpath that i realized i had no idea where i was, no idea how i got there, and had no idea where to go. nothing was memorable because everything is just green and you can go in what feels like any direction when you can't even open a blank map and see your compass. i think "no map" doesn't work as well in a metroid style game as it does in dark souls which is an inherently more linear experience (and 3d being easier to remember) 100YrsofAttitude posted:No that's all pretty fair. Some areas are dull, though not many, and Deepnest is awful and is meant to be and if it bothers you that much they did a good job with it. to be clear i think they did a good job in the general atmosphere of deepnest, but my main complaint about the sound of deepnest isn't really rooted in it being spooky but actually it's just too drat loud. particularly rooms of multiple giant worms. sounds like fuckin construction machinery is going on and it just kinda sucks to listen to and not in a good way. also you run into zote the mighty and i feel like the frequency on his grunts are 400% higher than they should be jesus CHRIST dude i'm COMING just shut the fuk UP

I wish Hollow Knight would click for me, but I’m over 5 hours in and while I think it’s an incredibly well-made game, I’m not as enamored with it as some here. Surprisingly, Golf Story has been the bigger time sink for me out of the two I bought recently Golf Story, on the other hand, is a game I absolutely adore. I can’t find much fault with it, except for the issue of not seeing slopes due to it being on a 2D plane

Since AAA Switch games are pricey, I decided to start up my Gamefly sub. Hope I get away with trying to do another free month trial. Gonna try Splatoon 2, and Octopath Traveler, but the availability on that one is low.

The trick to gamefly which you may already know is to just put a single game in the queue and suddenly even low availability games will ship quickly.

I like Rocket League’s PS4 chat system where I can enter quick D-Pad inputs to let someone know they’re doing well or bring up a full text box when I want to let them know I’m “suckin dick for keys.”

Still, I'm sure there's a ledger out there documenting what Nintendo considers labo expenses. I wonder if they hired on new employees for the project.

Still a little nervous to unwrap and play, in case it ends up being as poor of a port as it might be

Well, I've tried everything to fix my left joystick but the drift is just becoming too severe. It's okay in some games but anything that requires precision is unplayable. I can use it as a single controller for Mario Kart but I'm gonna shelve it and get a new pair. I really, REALLY want the pink/green but I have boycotted Amazon and they have the best price by far. Edit: You know what, as much as I use this perfect console I am surprised I didn't have an issue earlier. My 360 controller didn't last as long and I didn't carry that thing in my backpack.
