Chill Bug


Policenaut posted:

I have some friends super into Nocturne speedrunning and yeah Nocturne Remaster is a pretty buggy mess from what I understand. Game breaking progression bugs, frame rate issues all over the place. That kinda stuff.

yeah iirc the initial launch for hd nocturne was really buggy, tho last i checked a lot of the issues got patched out?

Dead cells is a lot of fun but I can't beat 2 boss cells. Everything hits so hard and the healing goes away.

Saw a thing about using the ice bow if it rolls with piercing but green melee weapons tend to suck for me.

There's a yet another BC balance pass coming that's making it easier. Here's the new upcoming healing:
code:
BC0: Health fountains in every transition.
BC1: Health fountain every other transition, with one minor flask when the fountain is missing.
BC2: No more health fountain, one minor flask in every transition.
BC3: One minor flask after the first boss and before the second.
BC4: No more health in any transition, enemies teleport to your position.
BC5: No more health, enemies teleport, malaise added.

I've gotten bored of it on PC but I'm going to download it just to see performance. Also would be nice to have an fps option when gaming on the couch.

Personally I'm more worried about the draw distance vs. whatever crossplay they implement (if any). The original trailer was blurry af and that game has some lonnng sightlines.

It does have crossplay, Playstation/Xbox/Switch players are all in the same pool, PC players have their own pool, and if a party has a mix of console and PC players then they play on PC servers

Technically you can disable crossplay but it's not recommended because the no-crossplay player pools are tiny and queues take forever

If Respawn is using a variant of their Titanfall engine then that shouldn't be an issue, as it's based on Source rather than Unreal.

They were able to port the first one to the 360 at roughly the same res for the textures as Apex on an undocked Switch, but with one eighth the ram.

Hopefully Switch Pro will make this actually playable. I would accept 30fps in handheld if the resolution could be 1080p.

720p is a fine resolution for a handheld that's the size of the switch, it's double the ppi of a 27" 1440p monitor


well, obviously this apex port isn't hitting the native 720p but still

How is Mario Tennis singleplayer? Is it as chill and satisfying to play as the N64 version? Hesitant to get it at full price since all I really want to do is zone out and rally with Mario characters, if it does that well and whatever gimmicks or flashy specials aren't too intrusive, I'd go for it

Again a very likpatous story
Pikamee's recent playthrough of Mario Odyssey got me to dust off my own copy (metaphorically since it's digital) and it's been a lot of fun. I finally beat Dark Side, the first rabbit was giving me trouble back when I was playing regularly, but I didn't have much trouble with him this time and the other three are complete jokes. I unlocked Darker Side and messed around with it but I can't even get past the first part, I always get blindsided by some Goomba I didn't see.

There's so many cool outfits for Mario and I feel bad because I just wear the Mario 64 one all the time.

Reverse for me. I've gamed on phablets and the difference between 720P and 1080P was negligible to me on a small screen but the difference between 30fps and 60fps is huge. If I was viewing DSLR photos I noticed the resolution bump, but not gaming.

Apex is probably the best of its class, I just don't think battle royales are fun and all of them have predatory loot box mechanics attached.

Never played the single player in the N64 version. It is a kind of short campaign.

"Beat" Bowser's Fury and that was a blast. Definitely going back for the rest of the shines and if that's the model for the next Mario game (with maybe whatever the equivalent of fury mode is being just slightly less intrusive or like completely up to you to trigger) I'm into it.

I thought the way 3DW let you store a powerup to retrieve when you wanted was great but gently caress it, gimme five of everything at will was a masterstroke.

Either that or just silently upgrade the SOC without making a fuss like they did before with the red box Switches.

It was cool it felt like having an inventory like some metroidvania. Oh need to climb up this wall? Let me equip the cat suit. Trying to hit that distant island? I’ll pop my tanooki suit on.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
There’s plenty proof-of-concept Metroidvania levels in Mario Maker, proper 2D and 3D versions would own.

Or at least a ROM hack where you have Mario and his power ups in Super Metroid, that would own.
