I just got my switch today, and holy gently caress this thing is amazing. I work 10 hour night shifts where I am basically just paid to exist in an area in the 1 in 10000 chance something goes wrong and having super smash makes it so much more tolerable. I picked up Smash, Diablo, West of Loathing, and This is The Police 2. Any other games that I should grab? I’m not really looking for like 60 dollar first party games at the moment, good cheap ones are ideal so I have a lot of options on longass nights.

Cool, I’ll get 5 once I get a microSD card since my switch is basically full. Not a lot of memory on this thing.

Yeah, I really wish my new job started before Black Friday so I could take advantage of the deals, but as it is I’ve been going nuts on the eshop anyway. I keep telling myself I’m going to buy more physical games when I’m getting new stuff so I can trade it in if I get a turd, but digital is so convienent.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:I would legit pay upwards of $100 American dollars to get a digital collection of the entire run of Nintendo Power. I never had a subscription as a kid and only grabbed random issues when I could afford it or if a friend had extra, a full physical collection is one of those dream things I'd buy if I had unlimited space, money, and time. I got free issues for years after I stopped renewing, it was the weirdest thing. It must have been some computer error or someone hosed up putting in an expiration date.

Pharohman777 posted:Diablo 3 is amazing on the switch. Being able to use the switches portability to do a few rifts or bounties while waiting anywhere makes up for not having anything diffrent content wise other than the bonus twilight princess ganondorf transmog set, triforce portrait frame, shadowy wings, and cucco pet. Yeah, I already owned it on PS4 but D3 on Switch has been one of my best buys on the system. It’s a great game for playing portably, since you can either sit down for a long binge or kill some time waiting for the bus and make progress either way.

Roguelike chat made me sad that Gaslamp Games is dead and there will never be a Dungeons of Dredmor port for the switch, that game would be amazing on the go. Is the FFXV pocket edition any good? I like the regular version a lot.

Empress Brosephine posted:BOTW is ok but I feel like it’s not as fun in a post RDR2 world because it all feels very...dead and nothing to do. Just my opinion though. I’m also a idiot who sold it and bought it again. Really? I’ve liked it so far because it doesn’t have nearly as much unfun bullshit as RDR2. There’s way less stuff that comes along and disrupts my groove.

Gripweed posted:They keep saying, "New Controller". The tout the abilities of the new controller. They show people playing Wii games and using Wii apps on the new controllers. If the Wii U was a whole new system and not a new controller for the Wii, I think they would've said that literally anywhere in the announcement Nintendo’s marketing department is made entirely by idiots. See, the 3DS, which I initially thought was just an upgraded DS that could do 3D on certain games and not a completely different line of consoles, or the New 3DS, which I think was named just so that trying to buy a used one would turn into a “who’s on first” routine.

As someone with the kind of hands that they designed the original XBox controller for, playing with split joycons is maddeningly difficult at best. Even both joycons in the grip is pushing it. Portable mode works pretty well for me though.

Nichael posted:The port prices are ridiculous. For example, Doom on Switch is great, but I only have it because I got it for $12 when Walmart incorrectly priced it. It fluctuates around $30 to $50. Bayonetta 1 & 2 is $40 to $50 too. The World Ends With You is the price it was on NDS in 2008 even when it's on sale. Yeah, I was thinking about rebuying Doom for one of my consoles. It’s 20 bucks on PS4. I’m sure it’d be great to play portable but not enough to make me drop the extra 40. 44 really, when you add sales tax to the extra 40. I was also thinking about getting Bayonetta 2 but it’s a bit steep for such an old game.

WiiU chat made me realize I do not know a single person IRL who owns a WiiU. I think a lot of that was because everyone had a Wii collecting dust after a couple months and most people I know who had one weren’t hyped for any nintendo home consoles after. Hell, most of the people I know who own Switches got them in the past few months.

It's a fine system, it has some really good games and even poo poo like N64 and NDS virtual console I mean, the fact there isa goon reaction is more than I see from most of my friends who play games. Everyone but the nintendo die hards kind of go “the Wii whatnow?” and even the people I know that own most nintendo things didn’t bother buying one. I haven’t seen anyone who hates it but basically no one noticed it existed.

Generic Monk posted:it was marketing. look at that e3 reveal vid a few pages back; they were leading so heavily with the 'play anywhere with the new controller' line. it really sounded like a peripheral like the balance board or something, not a whole new system. I remember how when the Wii came out it was almost impossible to find and everyone I knew my freshman year of college had one. Wii Sports was so popular for like a month and then no one touched their Wii again until Smash came out. Motion controls were not anywhere near developed enough to carry a console, and a lot of the stuff my friends and I were hyped about because of the gimmick like Red Steel were drat near unplayable.

TaurusOxford posted:You might be one of those people who would benefit from watching a LP of the game first, then playing it for yourself just so you can avoid the "WTF?" moments easier. My problem with them is mostly just that they bore me. I can’t really give more detail than that since it’s not like there’s something I can point to that doesn’t work for me. When I’m playing them, I really want to be doing something else.

I must have loaned out my copy of DS1 to like 5 or so people all who returned it to me with at best the first bell rung. One of my oldest friends keeps trying to sell me on Souls games and CKII, so at least it’s not just online?

THE loving MOON posted:Dark Souls is great even without the online component, although it does enhance the experience. I only ever summoned help once in my DS1 run for O&S, but I had some good pvp fights here and there along the way. That has very little to do with my point that it’s not just extremely online people evangelizing about how good DS is.

Argue posted:FWIW it has more in common with chess, or a puzzle game, than the usual isometric strategy games. The gimmick is that you know exactly what the enemy is doing the next round, and you have to spend your turn basically preventing those attacks from succeeding. Maybe some players will try to stay two steps ahead of the enemies but for the most part it's about cleverly positioning your units to mitigate damage from the monsters in single turns. Yeah, there is almost no RNG at all (there’s a small chance for buildings to ignore damage, but it’s small enough that it’s more a nice bonus when it happens) so you know exactly how your turn is going to go. It’s a lot of fun and very much a low-frustration game.

I was worried that my bank locked my card for suspected fraud at first because I’ve made so many eshop transactions that it probably looks like suspicious activity.

Your Computer posted:I think a lot of it just has to do with use. All of my old consoles and controllers (minus the N64 controllers that got the Mario Party treatment) are still in perfect shape, but I've always handled them pretty nicely. It's not like they fall apart on their own. The N64 stick will inevitably break down regardless of how you handle it, nintendo designed it in the dumbest way possible.
