We Can Do It!

Well, unfortunately I'm about 90% of the way through Monster Boy and ... at this point I'm soft locked and can't progress through the game because an NPC won't advance the current plot. Apparently there are other places where this can happen as well. I had multiple other times playing the game where I had to Close Software because I was completely hard locked. There are a also lot of other weird minor bugs going on with the game all the time, but none of them are really a huge issue besides those ones.

So not that almost anyone was paying attention to the game in the first place, but I'd recommend staying away from this one until they put out some patches for it. Really a shame too because the game, when it's actually functioning correctly, is really good.

Thanks for the warning, I'll have to look up the softlocks. I hit the softlock in the original Twilight Princess and it put me off the game until the HD version.

Oh hey, good news (found on the drat Steam forums for whatever reason):

quote:

Hi! Sorry to hear that you've encountered these glitches but a patch is underway. The progress glitch was related to a very hideous bug connected to a door in the falls area of the game. It can result in a bad quest state in a certain moment in the game. Luckily you got the three relics before and could move on. The patch will fix all of that so it doesn't happen again and it releases this week. It also fixes the black screen that you encountered in Lupia village and some other things.

So hopefully that fixes my issue too even though it's a different part of the same area.

Does anyone know just how much mobile data playing season mode on Diablo is going to suck up? My internet is out with no estimated repair time and I was really wanting to level up my season character a bit before bed so I thought about tethering to my phone. I can only do that online, correct?

You can play seasons characters completely offline. You only have to be online to create them; once that's done you can disconnect. You just won't submit to any leaderboards while you're offline.

oof. i almost want to take a phone video of this, but I bought in on the Rain World double dip (fool that I am) and wow these controls are delayed. around half a second between input and response, it was definitely not like this on pc!

needs some time in the patch cooker.

(e) wait that may have just been portable mode, let me check docked rq

a little less, but still there. maybe a quarter of a second? feels utterly terrible, in any event, no way I'd be able to play this. I wonder what the refund policy is (suspect "get hosed")

If you call Nintendo and explain, they usually do a "one time" refund.

It's kind of a mix, generally severely overgrown and post-apoc urban but it's about a slugcat in a place that is very not made for slugcats so yknow, no tranquil forests or anything lol. The trailer definitely emphasised more action than honestly happens in the minute-to-minute gameplay, actually trying to fight the predators is mostly a very dangerous idea and should generally be avoided, but it does happen and it is intense. The Monk character they showed in it does have a quieter, even more solitary playthrough though if that's what you're after

Well I've put it on my list. It looks interesting enough and I do like the premise even if the world isn't quite my thing. Thanks for the suggestion!

So I decided after all these deals popped up that goons were kinda bragging about and how they had found a gem for next to nothing, how many had I actually found myself?

So I tallied the games I had paid $0-$5 for and there have been 64. That's approximately half my library. The sales on this console are real and also divine.

Note: folders when?

Are there any good Metroidvanias for the Switch that are easier, combat wise than Hollow Knight? Something more Castlevania: PoR than Dark Souls.

I like exploration, backtracking and stuff, but I hate the Hollow Knight combat and wish the developers added an easy mode for uncoordinated idiots like me.

Steamworld dig 2 is your best bet. Guacamelee 2 also just came out for switch and is good

Anyone taken the plunge yet to see if there's a good game to go with the fantastic graphics of GRIS? In my experience the more loving detail goes into the animation and art direction the clunkier it feels to run and jump around (Little Nightmares, The Missing, Forgotton Anne all look great and range from decent to good games, but the act of actual movement in them doesn't feel fun at all). It looks like a 2D version of Journey so I'm really hoping it's worth it.

Seeing as few people recommended it I'll give that and Yoku's island express a shot. Guacamelee 2 is a pass however, as I played the first one and ran into a very similar brick wall regarding the combat.

Whenever I try to play my digital purchases offline(like on the train) I get a pop up saying that its “checking if the software can be played” and then it won’t let me play the game because I have no connection. This is every game I have digitally: Dead Cells, Dark Souls, Diablo, etc

Am I missing something? Can I not play Switch digital games without a connection?

It should only check that if you are not in your primary switch that your account is associated with. If you put your account in a second switch, you need to make your original switch no longer your primary. This can be done by you on their website somewhere (you can only do this once a year yourself)

I play mine without a connection all the time. As far as I know that message only happens if the game hasn't been released yet but you've preloaded it.

Oh, that might be it. Before I had my own Switch, I was using my roommates and I initially made my account on that. I guess his Switch is still considered my account's primary?

How does online couch co-op work, with regards to online subscriptions? If my wife and I want to play Minecraft, both on the Switch, with our friends online, can we do that if only one of us has a subscription, or do we both need one?

I'm thinking that I'm going to get the family plan for a year anyway, for both my wife and I, and then just gift the other slots to other people.

It varies. Most pick up and play games couch coop is fine in online and only uses your one user account, some games with more important user profiles require you to use both accounts which both need online
