I bet if Nintendo set their eshop prices to the 20% off prices that Amazon and Best Buy Gamers club has, they would make more money per sale than they would per physical copies after you account for manufacture, shipping and wholesale prices for retailers to make profit. I wish I purchased Maro Kart digitally, but $12 is a little steep of a "convenience" charge.

The Lobster posted:Edit: So I'm going to pick up Doom and Wolfenstein even though I don't like that genre of games just because I want to send the message that we want more of that type of game. Am I crazy? I pick up games i am luke warm on sometimes if I know its sales will lead to future games. Thats why I bought DQ Builders on the PS4 (as well as Heroes), but then I ended up liking it a lot even though I wasn't into Minecraft. Doom is decent, though I played it on the hardest setting I could on the first play through and got frustrated with it, and instead of lowering difficulty, ended up putting it down half way through and haven't touched it since. Its a good game, I just need to lower the drat difficulty since I am rust on FPS. That said, seeing the improvement on playing it on a PS4 Pro in boost mode over the stock PS4... I am interested to see how it runs on the Switch. I wonder what they have to limit (I assume low draw distances as well as 30fps and reduced quality assets).

Real hurthling! posted:it makes zelda look like dog poo poo. it looks like loving goty Won't be able to really tell until it comes out, but taking GOTY from Zelda will be hard. The open world and environmental interaction in Zelda is hard to top (a big reason why Horizon isn't GOTY over Zelda, IMO). Then again, I am heavily biased towards Zelda games over Mario games. I am excited for Odyssey though, it looks great. Mario 64 level excitement all over again. Infinitum posted:

Happy Noodle Boy posted:The game is sex for soundtrack and audio design. The intro syncing the shotgun to music as you start the first level tells you you’re going to have an amazing time I forgot Optimus Prime was Doom canon.... Also, I played it a lot late at night with my surround sound turned down (not sure why I never used my gaming headset). When I pick it back up I should crank that audio. As tempted as I am to play it on Switch, will just stick with PS4. I didn't get Wolfenstein 2 yet, so will do that on Switch if it performs decently. Still a little worried about these two running decently. Heck, I am worried Skyrim will be PS3/360 quality.

I played about 10 minutes of it on my PS4. I can't remember exactly what, but something about it made me think it wasn't running all that smooth. Then again, it may have been on my Pro with boost mode on and maybe that was causing weird issues, I dunno. Haven't had time to play it with my other games I am currently playing.

Wildtortilla posted:Me. I'm the last person who doesn't own a ps4. I'm thinking about upgrading my PC, buying a switch, or buying a ps4. Really it's just down to Pc or switch now. I can't justify a PS4 because I'll only play Bloodborn. I probably game most on PS4, but I would say that if your current PC can at least run current games on low-medium at 900p or better... then you are probably close to a PS4 in power anyway, so may as well just go for Switch first. Then save up to upgrade your PC in a year or so. Then save up for a PS4 and just grab up exclusives for cheap.

Never had an issue staying paired, but ya, its annoying you can't wake it up and it does take a bit to first connect after turning the controller on. So I just walk my lazy rear end up to the docked Switch and hit the power button if I am going to use the NES30Pro FireMrshlBill fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Sep 15, 2017 |

Seeing it has dedicated home and screenshot buttons, along with the over-under orientation of the R/ZR and L/ZL buttons, and those analog sticks look much better than the NES30pro's. I'm hoping it can wake the Switch from sleep... I have a SF30 on my Retron5, and another waiting to be used with my SNES Classic Edition. So I guess my NES30Pro will get used with my laptop for OpenEMU instead of my Dualshock3

Rolo posted:How long does Nintendo produce special bundles? I want the Splatoon bundle but I'm probably not gonna get one until at least Mario comes out. I'm sure whatever stock left on shelves is it for that game. So grab the bundle now if you want it. Walmart had it online still a couple days ago. Mario comes out in 1.5 months, so thats plenty of time to get tired of Splatoon and even dive into another game.

Rolo posted:I don't really even want splatoon, just the joycons that come with the bundle. Maybe I'll just hold out that they eventually sell them separately. Ya, I'd just wait then. I am sure someone will sell skins if nothing else. They are releasing more cool looking joy cons anyway. The ones that come in the Mario bundle look cool. If I didn't have a Switch already, I would get that bundle (well, I did preorder it as a family-buy Xmas gift for my niece). Having a second set of joycons will probably be on your list down the road anyway and you can see if they have other colors you like, including the Splatoon ones hopefully.

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:Do the other console ports of Doom have the usual console FPS problem where turning around takes forever even with the stick sensitivity maxed out? If they address that and also add gyro aiming I could see it being downright playable. Doom's aiming and movement is fast as poo poo even without sensitivity maxed out on the PS4, especially compared to the typical console FPS. It controls like Quake but with AAA graphics. About as good as you can get without going mouse/keyboard. You will not be disappointed when it comes to that.

They should enable a theme maker where you can use screenshots and some sample audio to make a theme for the home screen. Games should come with downloadable theme audio, like the Mario Odyssey theme song. I love the Hyrule Warriors theme I have on my 3DS. I sometimes just let it sit there and rock out before I start a game.

I don't mind, its not spoiling some plot twists or anything, just showing off worlds in a Mario game. But I get wanting to be surprised on the different worlds and some moves he does I guess. Warning, spoilers with previous Mario games, Warning The only plot twist is: this is a prequel to Sunshine, and Peach really does marry Bowser and is really "mama" to Jr, and the ending of Sunshine and shadow Mario was just a drunken illusion that Mario manufactured in his head to deal with the fact the Peach left him for Bowser FireMrshlBill fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Sep 20, 2017 |

Al Borland Corp. posted:Here's what Doom looks like undocked. That looks like 30FPS (which means nothing, I know, especially since it is a recording of a screen) and they say they think it is 30FPS in the video. When I switched from a launch PS4 to a Pro in the middle of playing Doom, I noticed a difference with Boost Mode activated. Framerate stayed lock even when I cranked the field of view all the way up. So I have 0 expectations the Switch can run 60 without severely lowering the FOV and losing a bunch of assets. Optimized for a stable 30FPS both docked and handheld is what I expect, but they may prove me wrong (I hope they do). StabMasterArson posted:DOOM on thumbsticks is adorable Doom is the best FPS experience I have had playing on a controller, extremely responsive. Its not like you are sniping in the game much, so thumbsticks are fine for single player and not as many people play the multiplayer anyway so you don't really need an edge over anyone. For aiming and quick turns, I do prefer a mouse. However, for maneuvering, a left thumbstick >>>> WASD any day of the week. Even on Nightmare setting, maneuvering in this game is much more important than fine aiming given the weapon selection and run&gun style. If this was a game that people were planning on doing Quake style deathmatch on, then ya, KB+mouse all day. But just the campaign against the AI? please...
