A real hellraiser

I used to have more problems getting the 8bitdo stuff synced but it's stopped happening for a while. Probably because I will reboot the whole switch occasionally. It seems like over time something in the Switch stops responding well to the 8Bitdo controllers but a reboot clears it back up. Since then I just hold Start + Y until a light comes on and let go until it syncs after a few seconds.

Well I don't have to sync it every time, just getting it connected is what I mean. It just takes longer than anything else and then you have to fiddle around in menus to get it as controller one

there's a throwable item in dark souls that inflicts super poison on stuff it hits because it's literally nasty poop but you gotta be careful using it because it also causes a small buildup of poison in you because you're covering your hands with poop

That's mainly what I'm talking about. I'd spend a couple minutes each time fussing in menus until I did a Switch reboot. Then all that stuff goes away and it "just works"

People in this thread mainly, talking about dips into the single digits of frame rates and having bad/missing sound?

I read it as dipping by single digit frame amounts, like 60 to 55. Could be wrong though.

Here's some in game footage, check out the second half of the video:

Panning around definitely seems a bit..stuttery even for 30fps. If stuff like that and tinny sounding audio doesn't bug you, then this version is probably fine for you.

The port definitely gets the job done. I'm just annoyed that a 2011 game from the 360/PS3 era doesn't perform nearly as well as it should, given what we've seen with other ports (Bayo, Doom, Rocket League) or mainline games (SMO, BotW).

They could have done a better job, maybe with more money and time? Two things that are hard to come by as is, I'm sure.

Fwiw that was exactly my take as well. I'm seriously debating getting DS for Switch. I'm such a chicken poo poo and only made it like 10 hours into the game on 360 back in the day.

If you don't want to import from PlayAsia, the Japanese version has the same ROMs, (including the US River City Ransom) and Amazon preorders come with DLC for an extra variant dodgeball game.

I know right? It's a pretty genius way of mapping both arms + multiple actions for an action RPG that isn't all button-mashing. I wonder if it's inspired by some other game or if they did it first.

strange feelings re Daisy posted:

I've jumped into BOTW hardcore for the first time since I bought it and I'm near the end. I don't care about the weapons breaking , but Link moves slow as poo poo relative to the size of the environments and that bothers me. I'm used to playing games with absurd movement powers like Saints Row, Crackdown, Far Cry, Just Cause, etc. At the best of times Link feels like a toddler crawling through a swamp. Even the speedy buff isn't enough for me. I finally got enough stamina to spam jump when I'm climbing and it can still be agonizingly slow climbing the taller cliffs. The only movement that feels good to me is shield surfing and swimming up waterfalls with that special armor.
TLDR: GOTTA GO FAST

It is absolutely wild how often you can get up to some wild speeds while shield surfing. You don't even need to be on a very sharp incline, just fishtail and you'll keep going and going and going.

This also has Double Dragon 1-3 in it. I assume these are all the NES versions. Did they add online multiplayer to these or is it local only? Real tempted to import this.

I think the original Dark Souls is the overall worst out of the Dark Souls / BB games, in that it has some of the highest high points but also by far no contest the lowest low points, but it's still probably one of my top 20 or maybe even top 10 games, so it's not much of a downvote.

I think Dark Souls 1 is still the best Souls games. The others I feel like are missing something to make them as special. I’m sure Bloodborne is good but I don’t have a PS4.
