@GOH: Oh my god I would stab someone.
-
I think GOH's right about the intentionally limited stock on Wii U. People on Reddit have been having the same problem as Atom. Luckily I haven't had that problem with my preorder, which has said "Arriving Friday" the whole time and just today changed from "Not yet shipped" to "Preparing to ship."
-
I know it's not unique, and I'm even okay with it being a little worse than the Switch, as long as it's not bad enough to harm my enjoyment of the game. After watching that first video I was unsure, but after looking at the second I feel a lot better about it.
-
This one's quite a bit longer and has a lot more of him running around in the forest, enough to show that it really is just specific places from specific angles that drop frames, and not even the whole forest. My concerns are sufficiently alleviated. Bonus, this one's in what appears to be either Dutch or German, which I can't even remotely read (unlike French which I know a little of) so it's even less spoilery!
-
Well for the most part the rest of it was fine, but when he went into the forest it dropped frames really bad. He didn't stick around though so I couldn't tell if it was the whole forest that would be like that or just the specific spot he was in. Now I don't know what to do...
-
The first hour of the game on Wii U, so spoilers obviously, though it's in French so that helps a little. I'm watching it to see how the performance is, and I'm only 11 minutes in but so far it is not promising. That said, the comments on the reddit thread where I found this video do say that it's bad at the beginning but then gets a lot better, so I'm still hopeful. If the whole thing is like this though I think I'm cancelling my preorder...
-
Finally finished Recore. Good game, I enjoyed it more than the 63% metacritic would suggest. My only real complaint is that you have to be nearly at max level to beat the last bit of the story, which requires more grinding than I would have liked. I would have preferred that the story be completable at a lower level and simply have more side stuff available for higher levels.
-
I don't remember any Wii U games that you couldn't play with just the tablet (other than multiplayer ones, obviously).
-
Yeah, but the literal flaming eye was incredibly stupid. Like, it was fine when it was just what Frodo was seeing when he wore the ring, but once it became clear that it was actually like that in Mordor, and not just a metaphoric representation, it was stupid.
-
First Switch game that doesn't support TV-play.
-
Even if it fails to build on what came before that wouldn't make it a bad game, just a mediocre one.
-
-
Get a Vita or PSTV and play Persona 4 Golden. That's the one that got me into the series, and I don't even like JRPGs.
-
Yeah, it's Persona 5.
-
The embargo on previews breaks today, and so I was hoping Digital Foundry would have a performance comparison between the Switch and Wii U versions, but nothing so far. Weirdly, Eurogamer doesn't have a preview up at all, even though all the other previews went live an hour ago. The previews are super promising though.
-
GOH, where are you seeing that you need a pro controller? Everything I'm seeing is saying the joycons are serviceable, though not quite as good as a regular controller.
-
Multiple sites are reporting that they're having problems with the left joy-con desyncing when it's not plugged into the tablet. So that's a thing. Hopefully it's a software problem that can be patched, but as a lot of people are pointing out even if it's a software problem there's no guarantee Nintendo designed the thing in a way that allows them to patch the firmware on the controllers.
-
Turns out I misunderstood the thing I saw. I thought the controllers were going for $20, but they're actually going for $35. That's no low enough for me to impulse buy it.
-
According to the articles I've seen you can order them to move to certain positions, and I'm unclear on whether or not you can order them to attack specific targets, but you definitely cannot order them to use specific powers.
-
Previews are out. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-02-22-four-hours-with-mass-effect-andromeda I'm still excited, but it does sound like they completely abandoned the more tactical combat of the previous games in favor of a run-and-gun shooter. You can't even control your squadmates' power use.
-
Yeah, I would just be getting it for couch gaming with M/KB games, games with actual gamepad support I would continue to use my 360 controller.
-
Steam Links and Steam controllers are super cheap at GAME and Amazon right now. I'm thinking of getting a Steam controller, how well do they work for M/KB-only games like Civilization or Shadowrun?
-
Why do I care whether the system's dead or not when I already own it?
-
What's even better is that there's already a game (Dragon Quest Heroes) that's bigger than the internal storage all by itself. You can install your own SD card, but Jesus...
-
Halo Wars 2 It was really good. There was some stuff about the plot that I didn't like, but ultimately that just comes down to framing for the missions, and the missions themselves were great.
