three people on wifi trying to use the built in online feature to watch someone play a 1-player n64 game online are loving fail and deserve to have all the sound replaced by chittering demon noises. its obviously not possible to reproduce sound over connections with latency without making a bunch of crazy rear end stuttering noises and nintendo knows this. if you want to do some weird thing like watch your friend play a game online then get a loving elgato and set up obs and stream to twitch. dumb rear end!!!!!!!

Majora's Mask was also more demanding and ran worse than OoT so I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot worse on NSO. However by then maybe they'll have ironed everything out?

it’s a lot more than a frame of latency, closer to 5 frames (in a 20fps game)

To be clear it is still Nintendo problem to an extent. They can make things like this work even over poor connection. And they do sometimes! Mario Party Superstars plays perfectly even if half the people have really bad connections.

The Switch is a cool console and sometimes Nintendo is pretty lame

it's like persona except without all the homophobia and teacher-student relationships

the diretor of smt3 also d irected persona 3,4,5 and catherine, three of which have some form of homo/transphobia in it

TwoHeadedDeer posted:

persona usually has interesting theming, but the "jaw dropping twists and turns" (ie the textual plot) of 4 and 5 are complete dogshit

Andrast posted:

are smt nerds just mad that people know what persona is, unlike smt


because persona is by the best possible comparison point for smt5

TwoHeadedDeer posted:

the IGN review goes into a couple specific things from persona they would like to see (these two examples are about grinding and plot pace)



I feel the criticisms are fair for the most part, but the "persona without the heart" subhead is going to get people mad

Andrast posted:

It's a bad comparison because barely anyone played Nocturne so people don't know what what the gently caress you are talking about if you talk about it


which is a shame since nocturne owns

Andrast posted:

do you think those reviewers are writing thos reviews for people who are already familiar with smt?

all of those people are already buying the game, reviews or no

Mega64 posted:

If they were they'd probably try to add some Persona features into SMTV, which from I gather isn't really happening.

Anyway, everything seems cut and dry to me. It's funny that reviewers who only know Persona are annoyed that SMT5 doesn't have Persona stuff because they're probably ignorant that Persona was a spinoff of SMT and SMT is its own thing. I can see why SMT fans find that good as a laugh, but I mean, Persona is also the easiest comparison to make with SMT since they're sibling franchises and more people have probably played a Persona game than a SMT game. Thus I don't understand why it's so terrible to compare Persona with SMT, as long as the reviewer actually knows what the hell they're talking about and thus can explain the differences and different appeals for SMT compared to Persona.

lol at people pretending smt and persona aren't very similar

Hilariously, I don't have a single way to cook available to me right now in AC, I just never bothered to buy a stove or anything. I have two microwaves, but apparently that's not good enough.

time to rank them, everybody

Thankfully the Switch isnt powerful enough for FF14. It would be a poor choice to play it on. I could see myself wanting that too. Final Fantasy 11 on the other hand. That would be dangerous for me, I love that game way more than FF14.

I played the new Mario Party game last night.

For some context, I'm trying to get ~*~my wife~*~ into video games so I thought this could be a good game for that. I've never played it but I know people who have and they recommended it as an obvious choice for a lighthearted party kind of thing. We set it up so it was her and me against two CPU players set on Easy just to mess around. Started playing on Yoshi's island or whatever the level is called.

We were having a great time right up until the very end of the game. In the board game, there's a mechanic that can randomly swap all stars and coins between any two random players. Not either stars or coins, but "Player A gives all of their stars and all of their coins to Player B in exchange for all of Player B's stars and coins. Two turns before the end of the game, where my wife and I had both earned a good amount of stars and coins as I was helping her out with mini games and figuring stuff out, and we were kind of clobering the CPU characters, this happened to my wife. A CPU character landed on a special event spot where that character has to roll to determine two random characters to swap a random collection of their resources. The dice was rolled and boom. The situation was Character C landed on that spot and rolled dice such that that my wife's character had to trade all of her stars and coins (like, 3 stars and 90 coins) with CPU character D, who had played the whole game poorly and had literally 0 stars and like 3 coins... two turns before the game ended, leaving my wife's character coinless and starless, and the "Easy" CPU character sitting with tons of resources.

Can anybody explain to me how this mechanic doesn't invalidate literally the entire game?

At that stage of the game, you're literally trading your entire game's progress with somebody else. It's not even internally consistent. What is the point of even having a board game format that tracks stars and coins and whatever else at all if there's a mechanic that just randomly swaps literally every resource owned by one character with another character with literally nothing either character can do to influence it? So you spend the entire game playing well and racking up points and there's only one or two turns left in the game? Guess what? gently caress you! This other character landed on a spot so now everything you have done for the entire game goes to that other character who sucked at everything and has nothing, and there's nothing you can do about it, and you have no time to make up any of it. Have a great day!

So I'm honestly asking, why does the board game part of Mario Party exist at all if it's just chaos and nothing matters and anybody's points can go to anybody else at any time because gently caress you? I realize I'm getting more annoyed than I should but I was excited to be able to play video games with my wife, and I think this poo poo has put her off them for a good while, and I don't blame her. Why would anybody play any game with a "progress" system if out of nowhere, without warning beforehand, it can just be completely invalidated at any time with no ability to influence it?

So, yeah. Sorry for blowing up, but based on this event alone I'm saying the game sucks, is bullshit, and shouldn't be played by anybody.
