Master mode was the perfect chance for Nintendo to do some rebalancing with the food/armor systems to make it the fun kind of challenging. Instead they went with the shittiest option and made it awful.

Takoluka posted:What Araxxor is referring to is when a huge idiot had a tantrum over Akiba's Beat and the alteration of the words "KKK Witches" on a wall to "AKK Witches." The original devs weren't aware of what the KKK was, so they were on-board with the change. Huge idiot decided it was censorship and requested that his name be removed from the credits. Xseed company policy states that in doing this, his name would be removed from the credits of all future games from Xseed, regardless of his involvement. I am net neutral on his particular situation, because while Xseed is garbage for that, this guy was very upset that Senran Kagura games had the girls' ages removed, because "that's censorship." I posted on the same forum as this particular dipshit for many years and his sole concern about "censorship" began and ended at anything related to nudity and age of girls in anime games and under no circumstances could he be persuaded that a girl's age being raised to 18 rather than 13 was anything less than the destruction of the very concept of capital A Art Itself

I still plan on doing a MM run next time I play though.

I will not use fast travel in games where interesting stuff can actually happen on the road, like Zelda or Skyrim. The latter meant that I would even limit my looting of tombs and dungeons to the best value/weight poo poo, and a couple of times I think I even schlepped back to a house halfway through a dungeon to unload poo poo before running back for more. Coinciding with this I will also keep a little log of interesting poo poo/quests I need to do in a certain area and plan my movements around the map accordingly. I also try to eat and sleep at relatively realistic and regular intervals. I really enjoyed the plethora of food in Skyrim and treating my character to a hearty meal and ale once they'd finished a dungeon. Maybe this means my brain is broken? In games like DQXI then yeah I'm fast travelling everywhere.

I've got like two hours play time on Xenoblade 2. Should I play 1 before carrying on? Or is it not related games like Final Fantasy?

It is not related until like 60 hours into the game when it suddenly is but to be honest you don't *really* need to know, it stands on its own just fine.

Although it might actually spoil some stuff in Xenoblade 1 if you finish 2 first.

100YrsofAttitude posted:I know it’s two rather different games but a fight never bore me in Dark Souls where in BotW it didn’t long for me to want to avoid them. Could be that once the danger is gone you just have to mash the button. Could be the relative lack of enemy diversity and moves. I don’t know, it’s just wildly dull. It's probably that one is designed around difficult enemy encounters that force the player to learn and excel at the mechanics while the other prioritizes exploration much more to the point where the combat is half-baked with no real balance. Basically don't play BotW for the combat, you'll probably enjoy exploring more unless you're one of those players who love doing really crazy bizarre poo poo to defeat Lynels.

I actually prefer not fast traveling in Skyrim but don't mind doing it all the time in BOTW. I don't know why that is, but it is how it is. I've found a poo poo ton of extra, neat content in Skyrim just from walking around, and I actually enjoy switching up my playstyle to have to concern myself with how much I can carry, what's really worth picking up, planning my route accordingly. gently caress, I should get skyrim on Switch....

enojy posted:Wait. What the hell is "Super Gameboy"  It ruled. Back before backlights were a thing the original GB screen was.. rough to see if you weren't in good lighting. Playing GB games on a TV in 'crystal clear' quality was amazing, better yet it also enabled colour in some unique games and different palettes in others. To top it off it off some games gave you custom borders for the TV - http://www.vgmuseum.com/features/sgb/ It was a really really really good peripheral.

The Super Game Boy was also secretly a powerful, idiosyncratic peripheral. Christine Love did a series of blog posts on it and it's really fascinating. It had a lot of features, like applying different palettes to different sections of the screen, that could make Game Boy games a lot prettier but that basically nobody bothered using extensively. Because, well, nobody owned a Super Game Boy anyway. There was also a GameCube peripheral that could play Game Boy Advance games, which I remember equally fondly although I don't think it was nearly as odd.

There's literally an in game mechanic to power down. I prefer it when games don't become trivially easy when you engage with the game mechanics at all. I do understand why they made the design decisions they did though. Its a game for all ages and you don't want that to be too demanding. A hard mode would have been the perfect place to adjust those systems so that they are less broken since it wouldn't have affected the core gameplay for people who don't specifically seek out harder stuff.

An option for Master Mode where you could tweak the difficulty would have been nice. Been spoiled with Celeste and it's range of assist options.

Instead of changing base game values, they decided to change the monsters health, which was a decent solution, until no one shushed the guy who suggested it be regenerating.

Basically any game where added difficulty is just “every enemy is now a crazy bullet sponge” is doing difficulty scaling wrong.

I'm trying to use my Switch Pro controller on my PC, but it seems to just press random buttons constantly. Steam has a workaround, but that doesn't really help for non-Steam games (or things like using it as a discord push to talk). Some googling brought up people with the same issue but most of them were from 2018 and seemed specifically about Steam. Has anyone bumped into this and fixed it?

Man, those guys did some of the last LPs I ever watched. Are they still at it? Their Sonic 06 run was incredible and something I share with absolutely no one because it was too long to ever recommend to anyone. General Tso's remains ideas to me and me alone. On topic, I do wish they would port 4 Swords Heroes along with Crystal Chronicles. I also wish that Crystal Chronicles would come the gently caress out already, drat.
