Hmm, what have we here?
Here’s a problem/fix I had with the controls that I’ve never experienced:

When trying to run in PLG, I couldn’t run to the right without pressing my stick against the stops pretty hard, I was really worried I’d have to send it out.

In the settings, my controller diagnostic whatever even reported it being fine and covering the whole circle. I decided to update and recalibrate the controller anyways and it fixed the problem.

Hmm when was it at that price?

Meanwhile Mario Rabbids gold edition is currently £25, I'm thinking it's worth ordering it and having it delivered to my family home even though I won't be there to collect it until Christmas

Someone tell me to do this please

How's everyone doing with the motion controls?

I keep seeing it as a complaint in the review videos with accompanying video of throwing some bad misses, but I always find myself wondering if they're just doing it wrong because in motion control games I tend to not experience those problems at all.

They're probably doing it wrong more often than not. Or to be more fair they are doing what comes naturally to them VS what the game is looking for. These controllers are way too accurate now to chalk it up to them like we had 10 years ago.

See, the thing a lot of you guys are calling "tedium" I call "gameplay" :v: Yes, I unironically enjoy RPGs with random battles.

But it's okay, I knew this game wasn't gonna be for me and that's fine.

Hmm fair enough. I got thoroughly sick of random battles in RPGs a long time ago. I vastly prefer things the way Dragon Quest or Chrono Trigger does it, where you can see the enemy ahead of time and choose whether to engage. I also find grinding strangely relaxing in RPGs, but I don't like being forced to.

Anyway, Let's Go is extremely my jam. I can't play anymore until my husband gets home because I promised I'd play it with him, but it's haaaaard, man. I played enough to lock in the girl Eevee.


Tender Bender posted:

I don't actually understand why Eevee is the second flagship? Is Eevee really popular on its own besides the evolving? It's just kind of a dog.

Eevee is cute, and it's also really popular. The main reason, though, is probably because Eevee was your rival's Pokemon in Yellow.

If you haven't used Google Express yet, you can pick up a switch for $250~ using coupon code YAHOO50. Or Costco bundle of Switch+SMO+3rd party controller for $360 I think.

This is basically why I feel like CT's system isn't any better than random encounters, but goons think it's so much better which is why I mentioned it as an example :v: You also forgot the ones where the enemy will jump out of a bush or w/e and you can't avoid them!

I was playing sleep-deprived last night at like 2 am so grain of salt etc. but I had a good amount of really wide misses. I may have misunderstood the tutorial but I assumed that all I need to do to "reset" the controller is to point it at the tv when I hit the Get Ready! button but this didn't really help much and I had to adjust my aim which was really annoying.

I've been holding the joycon flat, hitting the button, then moving it straight up and straight down in a 90 degree motion. I've missed 2 out of maybe 20 throws.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

As we know, the fun of the original Red/Blue was entirely the result of a slapdash translation, game-padding random battles, frustrating RNG, psychic pokemon being the absolute fuckin' best, and a 4-shade color scheme
