Nerdrock posted:new mario going to be amazing. you need to keep finding shoes to equip that break down after stomping on a few goombas. also your gloves degrade and will no longer smash blocks without being replaced every handful of minutes. You jest, but wait until one of the many different worlds Mario travels to is Hyrule.

I don't have a Switch or Zelda yet but if the game doesn't tell me "Shrine Get!" every time I complete one then I'm not sure how it can be GOTY.

VideoGames posted:If it helps, BOTW is technically my first Zelda and without any previous experience baggage I think it's fantastic. The art style is really nice and original. I wish there was more music, but the controls and abilities are awesome. I'm completely lost and wandering around bumping into people, but it's a very different sort of experience compared to "I need a mini map". My dude, you posted this like nearly two weeks ago and no one called you out on it. But how in the heck did you get a Wii U, discover all sorts of great Nintendo games both new and old, and yet nearly entirely miss the Zelda series?

Takoluka posted:Rocket League only had 1 map at launch. Turns out people will gladly play in the same box over and over again for hours if it's actually fun to do so! Pretty much the only map I ever played in TFC was Dustbowl but I would do that for hours at a time, for months and years. Maybe a little Murderball now and then or occasionally something else, but if TFC had been Dustbowl only I would've been quite happy with it.

Spacebump posted:With Wednesday's upcoming restock, I hope I'm able to get a Switch this week. I originally wanted the Neon version but realized I can just buy those color joycons later if they only have gray. Is there anything beyond Zelda that is must buy for Switch atm? I've been keeping tabs on this thread, but this is the first I've heard about a specific date restock. Is this like for all retailers or just Gamestop/Best Buy or something?

Is it pretty certain gamestop is getting some more in stock for tomorrow? I ask because we can get some discounted gift cards but I'm not that much of a gambler. Edit: that is, in non bundle form. Winifred Madgers fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Mar 21, 2017 |

Dang it. Due to circumstances we couldn't afford a preorder, so now that we have the means, we're stuck in the grind. I'll probably still make the rounds tomorrow morning just for kicks.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:GameStop by me said they were going to have some trickling in almost daily. They had 4 today (with 9 people already in line an hour before they opened). I don't think I'll be able to make the wait to actually get one without taking time off work and I don't want one THAT bad. Yeah. We live out in the sticks, so I can't even do that except at the local Walmart, which is the only place likely to have any within about 40 miles. We're going on an expedition tomorrow to the nearest "Big City" if you can call it that, and timing it for earlyish in the morning so we can hit a few stores for possible Switch action before getting to our actual destinations. Local Walmart did tell my wife today they have 17 coming in soon, but couldn't tell her when they were coming beyond "maybe 3 to 7 days," so if we don't come across any tomorrow I guess I'll leave for work 10-15 minutes early every day this week.

zenintrude posted:People salty about not doing the thing they need to do pretty much every time a new Nintendo console releases if they have any interest in it No salt here, I wanted to preorder and would have, but finances weren't in order then so this is the earliest opportunity I've had. One of my daughters' friends got one at launch though and she brought it over with Zelda; that made the wait a little tougher. I tried not to watch too closely but after a while in one of the divine beasts I was studying it enough to be giving her little hints and dang it I want that game right now.

LeafyOrb posted:So in GameStop sucks news I can't believe that horse poo poo that happened this morning. Basically they advertised pretty much everywhere that they would have them in store this morning, this was not the case. It's seems like almost no one got any and when you go and ask they say no, but you can order a hideously expensive bundle as of today. From what I've read this was the norm for today and not an isolated incident. I struck out today in my travels as well. Gamestop 1 said they sold out immediately this morning upon opening, although they offered me the bundle; Gamestop 2 said they're expecting theirs tomorrow, which doesn't help me because I live an hour away from town and today was my day off anyway. This was like an hour after opening and she said they already had 30ish calls asking about it. Still holding out hope for local Walmart in the next few days according to what they told my wife. It's at least worth leaving 10-15 minutes early for work for a few days to try.

Mediocrity Goggles posted:Most likely talking a bit out of my rear end as I didn't quite get deep enough into the game for the gear to have mattered. I concede that maybe it was just a "got too complex for me" sort of deal, kinda like Team Fortress 2 getting progressively off the rails from the original gameplay as the years went on. Partly, if you are anything like me at least, going by the TF2 example, it's harder to learn new things as you get older, even if only because you have less time and desire to put in the effort. I think to this day if I knew there were any sort of community left for TFC I might jump in for a few rounds of Dustbowl and maybe even do alright, but for TF2 enough changed that I was just like  because I had sunk a LOT of hours into TFC and I liked it the way it was.

s.i.r.e. posted:People are talking how it looks in a graphical sense, not it's aesthetic. The game is aesthetically beautiful and looks when you're up close to stuff but everything in the distance is pretty muddy, 900p at 30fps sucks and there's noticeable pop-in. It's limitations of the hardware and they pushed the Switch as far as it can go, but pulling out the Sheikah tablet to zoom into anything in the distance looks like god drat poo poo. I'm just behind the curve then by sticking only with Nintendo consoles; plus I was indeed confusing the aesthetics with graphics. Good to hear about things Nintendo will maybe bring in 10 years though, lol. I guess I have noticed some of that but it was more like a "huh, that's weird" and it never bothers me. Sometimes it'd be nice to start gliding toward a tower and have a little more time to alter my trajectory after I see 3 electric Wizzrobes pop in though.

Here's my hot take for the Switch thread: Puyo Puyo Tetris is unplayable garbage... on the joycons. I love Tetris, but the joystick and an L button the size of a grain of rice threw me so far off I had to give up after a couple rounds. Give me a way to use an N64 D-pad, then we'll talk.

Sam Faust posted:Why are are you using the joystick? L button, why are you pressing the L button? What does it even do??? How would you move the pieces other than the joystick? I'm talking about the individual joycons, not connected to the Switch or each other. The L button toggles the hold piece. *mutters under breath* what a scrub....

Empress Brosephine posted:maybe I have faulty joycons? Last night it would literlaly start auto rotating or drop pieces automatically and then half way through my A + B buttons stopped working; my No, I have perfectly good joycons but the controls aren't tuned very well, so a little bit up on the joystick makes you hard drop a piece, which I would trigger a lot by accident. Also the SL button to hold a piece is so small and inset that I couldn't get it to press without bumping the joystick. Very disappointed in the joycons for that purpose, and I won't buy Tetris yet until I can figure something out. I don't know how they'll work for Mario Kart either; I may need to invest in those joycon grips I've seen people link a few times.

I just got the mental image of 8-player online original Mario Kart and now I am sad this will not happen ever. But I'm the kind of guy who has had literal dreams of Super Mario Kart 2 with SNES mode 7 graphics, but with slopes and some of the other 3D era enhancements, and live in eternal anguish that it too will never be.

Bloodplay it again posted:When pressing left or right on the d-pad, the controller sometimes inputs up. I never noticed it during Zelda but it happens fairly frequently in PPT and causes whoever is using the controller to accidentally insta-drop a piece at least once per game. Couldn't get into either the Wii or Wii U Xenoblade games after sinking about 8 hours into each of them, ARMS/Splatoon/rabbids don't interest me at all, and I played Hyrule Warriors enough that I could never play another musou game and be ok with it. Leaves pretty much only Mario and whatever e3 surprises we have to look forward to, in my case. Al Borland Corp. posted:Yeah I think all pro controllers are like that more or less. I think it is an issue with PPT itself, although I can't speak to the Pro controller D-pad because I don't have one. But I had the same issue playing on individual joycons in the PPT demo and that's why I decided not to buy the game.

Dr. VooDoo posted:Well AssCreed already has "Climb anything you see!" as a selling point and the new Mordor has the jump and aim with bow to slow down time but it would be really awesome to see open world games to follow the design of BotW where the map is designed to peak curiosity so you're constantly exploring. It's amazing how much I find myself just getting lost in BotW on random whims cause I see an interesting hill of all things where in other games I'll pass by entire forests without even considering going into one unless there's some symbol in it or some hunt quest for that area I fully understood this aspect of BotW when I began one play session fully intending to go directly south to investigate something I'd seen the night before, and after two hours of "oh that looks neat" ending up farther north from my starting point than I had planned on going south, in a big spiral, totally unplanned, never making it to my original destination. Not because I couldn't figure out how to get there, but just because there was so much else I found to do.
