Dark Souls is the series I have probably the most hours logged in; over 400 on the Steam version of Dark Souls 1 alone. I own Dark Souls II and III on *literally* every platform they've been released on. All told I've got probably over 2000 hours in the series. I adore the games, and I jumped on the Switch port of DS1 as soon as I heard about it. The games are hard, but almost always fair. However, they're subtle and often require you to approach things much more methodically than you might think at first glance. If you're a totally new player, there's absolutely nothing wrong with making a character with 40 points in each of STR/STAM/END/VIT and using a sword and shield. In fact, that's an excellent way to learn how the game expects you to play. (oh, buy a bow and use it to pull enemies one at a time) Then, once you learn the mechanics, you can do New Game Plus, or just a new character, and do insane challenge runs like beating the game at level 1 with no armor and never getting hit, or using a banana or DDR pad as a controller.

I just bought an atomic purple aftermarket housing for my Switch and JoyCons. How hosed am I if I attempt the swap? My experience consists of replacing my old Pokémon Ruby cartridge battery.

It's fiddly as hell, you never see it, and it makes the whole thing more fragile Uhhhh... That middle bit is present on the stock JoyCons, it's what secures the battery and the rumble. Just throwing it out would leave a lot of stuff just rattling around inside, assuming you could even get the outer shells to close properly without it.

RandomFerret posted:Honestly, the joy cons are packed so tightly you won't see it except for the rail, and that's something that you should consider keeping stock anyway rather than introduce a potential weakness From the videos I watched, the kits don't seem to come with a new rail, all the videos have you taking the stock rail off and moving it over. I'll have to go back and watch again to make sure you can get to the bottom layer of circuits without disassembling the middle layer. If you can, I'll probably just use the stock middle for stability's sake.

I wish I could be excited about the Link's Awakening remake, but I just can't. LA was the first game I ever owned myself (as opposed to my parents buying and letting me play), and it's one of my favorites to this day. But man, I really loathe the art style they're going with for the Switch remake. It looks like someone took that old Claymation Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie from the 60s and swapped "cheap plastic" for the clay. Link looks like a goddamn doll. I get that people are excited that "they remade the environments 1:1!", but it just doesn't work. The game would have been much better in a hand drawn/pixel art style, like Octopath (though skip the tilt shifting).

a.lo posted:I don't understand how people can hate the Link's Awakening look. It sort of reminds me of A Link Between Worlds look but given a better look. I never dreamed by LA being remade but now that we are here I can see why they chose that art style. I never thought Link's Awakening would get a sort of BOTW or TP "feel" because I don't think it would be right. I don't think Nintendo devs thought, "how can we make LA more like TP?" Oh no, I'd never want a look like Twilight Princess, despite the fact that Link's Awakening is tied with Majora's Mask for darkest game. I would have killed for a high quality sprite/pixel art style, kind of like the GBA games but with the Switch power behind them. I fully confess I generally prefer sprite based art over 3D models, unless the game is explicitly going for a "realistic" look the hardware can power it; for example, I much preferred the GBA Fire Emblem games over the 3DS ones because the 3DS hardware couldn't power "good" polygons, and we ended up with characters with weird chibi bodies and stubs for feet.

Zuzie posted:
I'd describe it as starting out quaint, almost whimsical, but it doesn't take long before you begin to realize something is off. The game builds a kind of quiet, almost horror as you discover that the entire game is the dream of a demigod, and that while your only chance at escape is to wake said demigod, you have no assurance that "escape" means getting home. You could very well simply cease to exist. Which is exactly what you discover will happen to every person you meet on the island. And they all know it too. They straight up state that they are all a dream of the Wind Fish, and that they definitely WILL disappear if he wakes, because they originated in his dream.

Bongo Bill posted:People complaining about the Link's Awakening remake art style is really taking me back to 2002. What a hot fuckin' take you have there bud  Bashing Wind Waker was dumb because while the art was a departure from past games, WW was a brand new title and could set its own style. Link's Awakening is a remake of an existing game, and it set the style for the handheld Zelda games until Minish Cap. Whether you like the new art style or not in a vacuum, you can't deny it is completely different from the original version both technically and in the tone they are shooting for. Its like a bright toybox, which actually could make for a really neat take on a Zelda game, just not this particular Zelda game, in my opinion.

Calaveron posted:No? It's consistent with the Gameboy style even. Look up the photographs Link gets throughout the game See, that's interesting. When I was a kid, I never really thought of the pics from the "photo booth" as being supposed to represent the game's "real" style, even though they were presented as photos. Like, for some reason I never imagined them as a snapshot of a cutscene, even though in hindsight that's what they were intended to be. I just can't reconcile the imagery my mind created as a kid, with the way Nintendo is redoing the graphics. I don't think people who like it are wrong to do so, and it's frustrating that when I say I don't like it myself, the reaction is to say I'm a loving moron etc.

This is what I was trying to say when I presented Octopath, because it was the most modern pixel-art-based game I could think of. Really, sprites as hyper-detailed as something out of Metal Slug is my ideal, not the style just the quality/level of detail.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:I'm sorry Nintendo failed to consult your childhood imagination before deciding on the new art style. But you have to understand that them using this style was far more likely than them creating a completely new art style for this faithful gameboy game remake. To your first point, if someone had told me they were remaking Link's Awakening, I would have assumed they would use something along the lines of the recent Fire Emblem games, just because they seem to be using that style a lot. I wouldn't have really liked it, but that's what I would have guessed. I wouldn't in a million years have guessed "The Legend of Zelda: Toybox Edition" To your second point: quote:but I haven't seen many arguments against it besides "I personally do not like it" or the more common "This whimsical model/toy art style does not fit the dark and foreboding atmosphere of this wacky gameboy game." Why does there need to be more? People are allowed to dislike something just because they dislike it, there doesn't need to be some deeper reason, and it doesn't need to be justified, despite how goons act. It's an opinion.

Any thoughts on what might cause one joycon to not charge while the other does? I took my Switch off its dock for the first time in a while because I was getting ready to do the shell swap, but I noticed that the left Joycon was reading with just a sliver of red in the battery status. The right Joycon is fully charged. The left one works fine when physically attached to the Switch, but it doesn't appear to be actually charging because if I remove it from the system, it disappears from the controller menu. When I then reattach it, after a few seconds it reappears on the controller screen, still reading barely charged. I tried unpairing all the controllers, but as soon as I put it on it reads low power again.

bushisms.txt posted:It's a known flaw. I put the joycon on and power down the system completely. Make sure the con is connected before powering down, the rails are really dumb and loose. Then start it back up and it should be more or less resynced to charge. I'd also recommend buying a separate joycon charger so you know when it's the system messed up and not the joycon actually low on power as the sleep function messes with the internal charging meter. Hmm... I attached the joycon to the console, waited until it actually appeared in the controller screen, then rebooted. Upon reboot, the joycon is no longer listed as attached in the controller screen, but after a few seconds it does light up and reappear. I wish there was a way to tell if the thing was actually charging, or just "being recognized" by the console. Light, have the bar animate or a lightning bolt icon or something.

Mega64 posted:Try updating your controllers, I had a bit of weirdness a couple days ago and that seemed to fix it. The battery is so low it won't allow the left joycon to update until it charges more  I guess it's a good thing I bought a 2nd pair of Joycons in case I broke one doing the case swap, although now I'll be screwed if I actually do break one doing the swap. I've verified that the new joycons work fine though. Although, I found something interesting: I bought the Switch with the Neon Red/Neon Blue joycons, right? And the ones that came with the Switch had the left joycon as Blue, and the right one as Red. But the new red/blue pair I bought on Amazon came with the left being Red and the right being Blue...

Welp, I guess it's hosed. Plugging the Switch into the wall shows that the console and the right Joycon are charging, but the left is not. What could cause the left one to be recognized, but not to charge though??

So, none of the solutions for my joycon issue worked, so I decided to use it as a trial run for doing the shell swap. Figured I couldn't hurt it if it was already broken. While I was in there, I cleaned the rail with alcohol, and I cleaned the contacts for the ribbon cables. I also, due to the process of doing the swap, had to disconnect the battery and reconnect it. Something in that process fixed the issue, as the Switch is now fully recognizing the Joycon, properly reading its power level, and charging it. So now I've got one atomic purple joycon

I just realized that I never posted pics of the finished Atomic Purple Switch.  Only downside is that one of the screws on the right Joycon got stripped, luckily after I was done with the build, so as long as I never need to replace the battery I'm good.

KingSlime posted:It's cool that you know what you like but you should probably know that souls games are more or less metroidvania/Zelda games and are nothing at all like what you're describing Souls games are definitely not like Metroidvania/Zelda games. For one thing, absolutely no usable item or weapon in the game is mandatory (I know this is 100% true for Dark Souls 1, and I'm pretty sure it's true for 2 and 3). You can get to every mandatory area and most optional ones as a level 1 naked rear end piece of zombie jerky. Whereas one of the defining tropes of Metroidvanias and, to a lesser extent, Zelda games, is that acquiring new weapons/items/power ups opens up new areas to explore. Edit: Frankston posted:It's a shame Dark Souls is so dead online but man it's good to be playing a Souls game again. I missed that overwhelming sense of dread and isolation.

bbcisdabomb posted:My right joy-con seems to have a much shorter range than the left one. It disconnects on a regular basis when I'm playing docked from my couch. Is that something Nintendo will fix under warranty? E: apparently this was the LEFT joycon, not the right. Please swap words below as needed. ___________________ Dunno if you are still wondering, but there's a manufacturing defect that Nintendo refers to as a design decision with the right Joycon. Basically the Bluetooth antenna is positioned in such a way that holding the controller interferes with its signal (aka the same poo poo that one model of iPhone had). Bad news is I'm pretty sure Nintendo won't fix it, because they don't acknowledge there's a problem. Good news is its a pretty easy fix yourself, basically just sticking a tiny piece of conductive foam in there. Looking up a YouTube video on something like "right Joycon signal fix" or whatever should point you in the right direction. Annath fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Feb 26, 2019 |
