The only issue i've had with splatoon2 is it disconnects in queue sometimes and boots me back to the menu. haven't had any connection issues or lag during the actual games.

so is RBI Baseball really that awful, or just bad compared to other baseball games that don't exist on a handheld?

Pretty sure there are actual wizards working at Nintendo.

except for Mario Galaxy Nintendo's always followed their major successes with a curveball rather than a retread, I'd expect the same with Zelda.

BotW's music is really good. Hateno village is my favorite town theme in the entire zelda series and same with Vah Ruta for dungeon theme. people who dont like it because they wanted to listen to the zelda theme blaring in the overworld for 100 hours are insane.

Nolgthorn posted:I found it to be incredibly boring. To me adventure games are a lot of fun in part because of their edgy humour, Thimbleweed Park seems like it was written to appeal to a massive group of overly sensitive politically correct wussies. It gets a lot of the point and click adventure game tropes right, the presentation is solid, but you're better off playing something funny.

I think the "show, don't tell" approach of BotW's story is masterful, it feels weightier to me than something like Witcher 3 even though it has 1% of the narrative

Nintendo spent the past 2 decades backpedaling from the Mario 64 formula, it's good that they seem to be embracing it again with this game.

Mario 64 has aged really poorly visually like almost all n64 games but it still is like top 10 all time for fun movement. speedrunning is a big part of what's kept it relevant

I think Odyssey has a good soundtrack but only steam gardens, new donk, the water levels, and the two vocal songs are really memorable. I can't play the sand kingdom or luncheon kingdom music in my head right now despite spending hours in them. Edit: add Bowser's castle to that list too, that one is good.

I suspect the Zora sequence is in there because they wanted that to be the 'default' first dungeon for people who don't have a preference, as it makes a good first impression. It's really the only thing like that in the game.

Is there a reason why my Switch doesn't seem to be tracking play time for SMO? On my profile page it still says "first played 6 days ago" under SMO where it has the # of hours played for all my other games. Did one of those recent system updates change that feature?

Rime is cool but it wasnt very well optimized on PC so I assume the switch version isnt ideal. It's also fairly short even for a $30 game but what's there is very nice. Would recommend if you liked other 3d puzzle games like The Witness or Brothers, it pulls from the same bag of tricks. If you don't like those games then this isn't going to be the one to convince you.

If I get the one I want, is it as simple as swapping it with the one in the system before booting up the system the first time, or are there other steps I need to take first? there's a dedicated microSD slot for adding a storage card, you don't have to replace anything.

bef posted:I heard hat in time is extremely good, like builds on m64 the way Odyssey does good. Wish it would get a port to the switch tho Hat in Time is decent but I think it got a reputation boost just from being better than Yooka-Laylee which lowered the bar. I didn't think it was particularly similar to any of the Mario games though Sunshine would be the closest.

Sensual Simian posted:Playing XBC2 continuously reminds me that I am very willing to forgive relatively slight graphical limitations in lieu of a vast and entertaining environment/story/character cast. Most of the time there is so much to capture my attention that I hardly notice the poorly rendered grass and poo poo. I think this game has some great examples of how art direction is more important than the technical side of things - the graphics are clearly last-gen in quality and without the stylization tricks that propped up Zelda, and yet Fonsa Myma at night is prettier than anything I've seen in a current-gen RPG.

I really enjoyed XC2 and felt like it was more than the sum of its parts, though I know I'm a sucker for good environment design and music and those (plus the combat system) are where I think most people can agree it fires on all cylinders. A lot of the weird flaws with the game are things that could have been ironed out with a bit more dev time, I do wonder how much they rushed it to get it into the first year release schedule and/or how much it was impacted by Monolithsoft working on Zelda.

Xenoblade 2 has the general tone of a PG-rated adventure movie, there are a couple mildly lewd scenes and the dialogue does contain occasional curse words if you care about that but it's fairly wholesome overall

Harrow posted:Speaking of Odyssey, how much is left after you get the ending? I know there are literally hundreds more moons to get, but are a lot of them super-quick/buyable moons or are there a lot of new challenges, too? Boss refights or anything like that? (I also know there are extra-hard worlds like any Mario game, I just mean in the kingdoms I've already been to) the postgame ones skew a bit harder but there's still some quick/trivial ones too. there are boss rematch ones, yes.

If you just sleep the console midgame the clock keeps running for some reason. I always hit the home button before I sleep my switch by habit and that seems to stop the clock.

zenintrude posted:I know we're all talking about new stuff right now, but does anyone have an opinion on Thimbleweed Park? Thinking about grabbing it today for some nostalgic variety in my collection. The first half of the game is pitch perfect "lucasarts does twin peaks" and is worth playing the game for. There's a tonal shift in the second half where the game really loses its way from that main premise though.

The most obvious way to move on from BotW is to keep the open overworld design and physics/interactions engine but bring back some of the classic Zelda items and dungeons. There's no reason why they wouldn't be compatible and it'd be the best of both worlds. I think the weapon durability system is something that works in the context of this being the exploration and survival themed Zelda, and this is Nintendo so the next game will likely have an entirely different focus and/or gimmick.
