Infinitum posted:Does anyone have any opinions on Void Bastards?  This looks like exactly the kind of game that I would love, but its a genre that could easily be hosed up and its just slightly too expensive for me to buy it on a whim (humble bundle my rear end). I have some research to do, hopefully youtube will be able to convince me one way or another. I will report back with my findings.

enojy posted:Picked up Fire Emblem. This game really exposes the Switch hardware for how out of date it is, doesn't it? I guess the insane aliasing and choppy framerate just stick out as uncharacteristic for first party Nintendo's typical standards. At least the writing is quite strong so far, even if the characters err on the side of trope. I wouldn't call the hardware "outdated", its just more of a compromise. I only have a Switch Lite and I've been quite impressed with it. Considering the size/battery life/price I think they did an really good job with performance. I guess I could see it differently if I used it as a home console next to a Ps4 or something, but it feels exceptionally powerful for a handheld.

Super No Vacancy posted:if your hardware can only run smooth on select first party games and even experienced third party devs working in cooperation with nintendo on zelda and fire emblem titles cant ‘know what theyre doing’ enough to make it run smooth its actually perfectly fair to say the hardware is just weak and fail Stardew Valley runs at perfect 60fps at all times

precision posted:There is no way Void Bastards is as good as it looks, right I watched a ton of videos and it pushed me over the edge so I ended up buying it. Void Bastards is totally worth it! I'm spoiled and used to paying $20 for Triple-Indy games, but this was worth the $40. If the idea of "randomly generated System Shock" gets you excited Void Bastards will be worth every penny. It was actually the atmosphere and the soundtrack that was the straw the broke the camels back. It feels like the Subnautica universe.

100YrsofAttitude posted:I kinda hate the joycon's fragility. Mine are fine for now. I was able to fix one incidence of drift on my left handed one a year or so back, but ever since then I do everything in my power to not use the joy-sticks, opting to only play games that use the d-pad handheld, which is super limiting and frankly, goes against the point of the system. So I play a lot of table-top but it's annoying at times. I'm ok using the right-handed joy-stick a bit more sense it never gets used. Is this joycon drift issue really so common? I assumed it was just a matter of Switch being a kids console, so lots of 12 year old were going to town on those joycons and ruining them. Considering I only have a Switch Lite I don't want it to get messed up

Woot, Torchlight 2 went on sale today 30% off. I'm glad I held off getting it  I guess the nintendo eshop isn't all that bad, you just have to wait for the deals. Nintendos in-console shop is absolutely awful, but once I found https://www.dekudeals.com/ I was able to look at the price history of most games and understand how it all works. Games are only reasonably priced about half of the time, so that they can have a juicy "70% off!" sticker on them the other half of the time.

BisterdDave posted:I remember playing the demo on PC awhile back and thinking it was a fun Diablo-clone. How is the Switch port? It runs pretty flawlessly on my Switch Lite. I guess thats to be expected its kind of old. It is basically just Diablo. On the small Switch Lite screen your character is very tiny, but you can zoom in if you want so thats not a problem. I love the music, its sounds like they stole the soundtrack directly from Diablo II. I suppose Diablo III is likely superior but $16 is a much easier to ask of me than $80

There was no regular Switches at all. I'm glad to have it, I have the feeling if there is some kind of trade war with China they will become even harder to find.

punk rebel ecks posted:They're the only company that "gets" DLC. As in most of it should be free but the really ambitious stuff such as Torna. I was very close to buying Dragonball Fighter Z until I noticed the DLC on offer. It took me quite a lot of research to figure out the "Ultimate" edition only comes with DLC package 1, and I would be paying for the game twice over if I wanted to unlocked the rest of the characters. They do not make it obvious what you get just from the in-shop advertisements. I mean come on! I'll throw $20 at you to play this game, but not when it is clearly a trick to make me spend $40 on required DLC.

Mercury Crusader posted:SquareEnix is also kind of wishy-washy about releasing their stuff on Nintendo platforms for the most part. They had their NES and SNES games on the Japanese region Wii U and 3DS Virtual Consoles, for instance, but for whatever reason the only games they made available on either of those services in North America was GBA Final Fantasy Tactics and N64 Ogre Battle 64. Square is still bitter about N64 being a cartridge system rather than CD and they are making Nintendo pay

Ogmius815 posted:There's a reason why Nintendo is essentially positioning the Switch Lite as their new handheld, even at the cost of cannibalizing the end of the 3ds's life cycle. I doubt Nintendo is going to release a dedicated handheld independent of the Switch anytime soon either, and is likely to stick with their hybrid portable console strategy for a while. The Switch Lite is 100% their new handheld. The thing is the size of a GBA and it fits in my pocket, why would I need anything smaller? I honestly wasn't even interested in Switch until the lite came out. The normal one is just slightly too large. Its a brilliant strategy really, to merge the console and handheld. Computer power and graphics have really started to taper off over the last few years. The leap to PS5 is much less impressive than PS4, and lots of modern games have a style that isn't graphics intensive.
