Yeah, it's really dumb you can't use the pro controller, or even use the joycons with the grip to do the same kind of aiming as handheld mode, ala Breath of the Wild.

@TheFlyingGerbil I quit RDR 2 as soon as the epilogue ended, but by that point I'd been ready for the game to end for about 20 hours, so... As far as Let's Go, play it in handheld mode, it's SO much easier to catch Pokemon that way. When you're playing with the joycon it's possible to aim but it's much less reliable/precise. Also, you don't need to worry too much about your party, just keep Pokemon with you so you have most of the types covered as far as doing bonus damage and you'll be fine.

The first Zelda game I ever beat without a guide was Twilight Princess, and that was just because I was playing it so soon after release that guides hadn't been posted for it yet. I was so proud of myself though.

How Long to Beat says 19 hours average for main story only, 35 for main+side content, and 65 for completionist. So sounds like it's shorter than 0.

What's wrong with Google?

Hmm, guess I won't be getting this one then, because that was the problem I had with the other Metros, so if this one's even worse...

@FLD You are my nemesis. I can never beat you no matter how well I do. 8 goddamned points!

Hitman 2 I just finished the tutorial (which is the same tutorial from Hitman 1, but I replayed it to refresh myself) and am 100% totally stoked to get into the game itself. Shoutout to @Mr. GOH! for getting it for me!

That Link's Awakening remake looks gorgeous, but I won't lie, I'm a little disappointed it's not ALttP.

I turned mine off (there's a setting for it) because it's the stupidest thing ever. Sometimes I want to play games when other people are sleeping, and even when they're not I don't want other people in the house to have to hear my game audio. Even stupider is how some games will only output certain audio to the controller speaker. For instance there's no way to hear the audiologs in Killzone Shadowfall except through the controller's speaker, which means if you're playing with headphones you just don't get to hear them at all.

I leave mine at 100%, but I've also made a custom cooling profile in my BIOS so the fan hits 100% speed at lower temperatures, which has helped keep it cooler.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey Well, I was quite enjoying it until the end, which is ridiculously anticlimactic and just made the whole game feel like it fell flat. The end was so much not an ending that I didn't even realize it was the end until the achievement popped. Like, seriously, I felt like I was getting kind of close to the end, and that this was just a little lull before the final climax. Your game should not end on what feels like a lull... *Edit - I mean Jesus, it was just bad...

Guess that answers my question about whether the game would be playable on PC with a controller or whether I'd be at too much of a disadvantage. ?

Huh, yeah, I'd never really thought about it, but it is weird that more games don't do that.

I loved that game. One of the few that I dove straight back in for a NG+ immediately after finishing the first run.

Oh, hmm... PS4 would be where I'd rather play anyway since I have a Pro but do not have an X. I may have to try it.

I'm kind of interested in that, but I like to play with a controller, and I don't have a multiplayer sub on either console, and I'm nervous about how well I'd be able to do with a controller on PC, so...

The Fanatical Ancestor Bundle is $1.99 so now I own

@Mal Yeah, I debated just getting a bluetooth adapter instead of the Xbox wireless one for my PC and then using my DS4 instead of my Xbone controller, but ultimately decided against it because not all games support it natively outside of Steam, and I didn't want to have to fiddle with third-party software and I'm super anal about stuff like my button prompts lining up with the controller I'm using. Also my DS4's battery life isn't near as good as my Xbone controller. But welcome to the wireless PC controller club! It's so nice!

Yeah, I'm on a 4k screen. *Edit - Though I guess with Steam refunds I could always buy it, try it, and refund it if it doesn't run well enough.

I really want Ace Combat 7, but no PC demo makes me hesitant since that's a game that really needs to run well...

It looks like if Invader Zim put on a Pope hat.

I finally got sick of having to run a controller cable around the outside of the room from my gaming PC to where the TV is.

Bastion was my least favorite of the Supermassive games, and I really liked Bastion, so that should tell you how good the other two are.
