Very next try at what? Should I be re-rolling my character until I get a good one?
Upgrading a rare item to a legendary item. From what I can tell, that's the best way to target a specific legendary (in my case, a specific Two-handed Flail) and I finally got what I'm looking for :dance:


Now I can lawmower Sweep Attack all I want without running out of Wrath in 0.2 seconds and the build is actually fun again.

Hope everyone’s having a good Thanksgiving!

Ended up buying doom. Haven’t played a Doom game since Highschool. Hopefully it will be fun. Have 2 hours to wait for it to download though. Anything I should know going in?

Also I have 17 bucks to burn on the eshop. Any recommendations with the sales going on?

It's an in-store thing. When I got it just had the normal 59.98 tag. It just rung up as 17 at the register. It's probably the result of them putting all the other versions on sale and mistakenly lumping the Switch version in with all the rest. It's certainly not advertised.

I wish Diablo didn't eat the battery quite as fast because I'd love to be able to play for just a little bit longer each session but man, it's perfect for the Switch and I've somehow already spent like 40 hours in it

Same! I’ve leveled two characters to 70 (necromancer and crusader). I’m on the fence if I wanna upgrade my legendary gems, level more characters, or buy Skyrim.

There's no better way to target a specific legendary in Diablo other than upgrading a rare item of the same weapon type right? Which requires a ton of Death's Breath? That you can't even get in Greater Rifts?


:negative:

You can gamble blood shards too. For armour and belts it's 25 shards. Weapons and jewelry are better upgrading as they cost more shards, but even so I got my first Travellers Pledge after upgrading tonnes of rare amulets. And you get lots of blood shards in Grifts.

Unless there's a surprise final character has been shown off. It's also 3 characters in one so if you want to be technical and count the B. Dee/Dedede/Meta Knight updates there's now 9 new characters to try out in this update ontop of a new difficulty level in the boss arena and a entirely new game mode with new bosses in general in it.

Lack of Mario Odyssey dlc has to mean a Mario Odyssey 2, right?

It’s possible but Nintendo has recently indicated that they’re going to focus on DLC for titles already released and I can’t think of one that would make more sense than that other than Mario Kart.

FYI there’s a bunch of games on sale in the eshop that nintendo didn’t list in the sale page for some reason. At a glance, Rayman Legends, I am Setsuna, Voez, Final Fantasy theatrhythm. I don’t think the main sale page had Titan Quest, Monopoly, or Lego City Undercover either but could be wrong. Anyhoo, worth looking at the actual eshop’s list of discounts if you have an eclectic wishlist and don’t mind wading through the eternally discounted shovelware.

All save data is always on the system memory so you don’t have to worry about transferring that.

That’ll work, yup. I think you can possibly just drag all the data from the old to new on a computer and that’ll work too. Just format the new card in the Switch first.

I preordered the physical version from GameStop.

I love that the Switch is seemingly getting ports or remakes of all the games I found interesting and missed out on from not having their original console.

I've never been happier I waited for something than Dark Souls for switch. I think if I'd grabbed it for PS4 I'd have played it for an hour and been like "oh yeah I've played this game 5 times already" but man it's nice being able to just grab it for 10 minutes anywhere and the port is actually super good. Can't believe the portable version I'm playing right now runs better than the original version I played too.

If I were a game dev I'd fear the release of my game if it were anywhere near a Smash Bros. release. Releasing anything near it seems dumb.

the truth
Dec 16, 2007

Civilization 6 on the Switch is a lot of fun. I was always just a casual player but I owned Civ 3 and 4 on the computer. Turn times are very snappy in the first 100-200+ rounds, but definitely start to slow down after 300-350. It still feels a lot faster than the old games, though. Very happy with my purchase, even if I have accidentally stayed up until almost 2am two nights this week.

I have no clue what difficulty I am playing on or how to change it, but I just got maybe my first ever science victory. Never even got close before, so I was surprised when the other countries declared war on me in the last 10 turns. Yesterday one AI country got a religious victory REALLY early.

Publishers are dumb, look at the games killing their sales by releasing against Red Dead Redemption 2 just now.

Sony had some success releasing stuff in January (a low competition month) so now a bunch of stuff is competing there too and leaving a bunch of the year empty as usual.

It's amazing how companies don't learn this.

poo poo, one of the big reasons why the Switch in general hit it off during launch was due to it launching in loving March of all times.

We're getting a second Switch for upstairs today lmao

We were gonna get one for my fiancee's niece, but decided in the end that we should just keep it here since she comes over a lot. There's like a super high likelihood that her mom would pawn it :ohdear:

So, on that note: what happens if you try to sign in on two devices at once? Does it kick one of your instances? Trying to figure out how many games I'll have to buy two copies of lol. I already disabled cloud saves on my main Switch so that people can sign in as me upstairs and play my eshop games without interfering with my precious save data.

e: It looks like both instances can play at once as long as it's different games? Nintendo's documentation is vague for my weird edge case :argh:

I'm wavering between a 128GB and 200GB sd card with these deals. On the one hand the 200GB is only £10 extra but on the other hand when am I ever gonna be playing more than like three 'big' games on Switch at any time? Even major Switch games aren't generally THAT big.
