@Morpheel I think even the developers realized how anemic the main quest was. The DLC modes are almost all better than the main game, and many of them are just as, if not more, elaborate. They're also usually quite a bit more challenging.
I'm coming to accept the idea that I actually sort of like the DLC content for the game. It's fun, challenging, and lacks the aggravating backtracking of the main campaign.
Pirate's Curse is still far better, though, even if you take all the DLC into account. It's a lengthy(-ish), satisfying story with fun characters, amusing dialogue, and a decent level of difficulty.
Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2); Corpse Factory (PC)
Does anyone else never use the D pad. Like, ever. I've played and completed hollow knight, hyperlight drifter, donkey kong tropical freeze, smash bros, new super mario bros u deluxe etc using the joystick. I'm getting the idea I'm in the minority? I could be wrong though!
In a rush of self-congratulation for not having many upcoming games on my (immediate) purchase list I've just ordered Steins Gate Elite and Okami, so that's all that good work undone
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@Tangerine I use the D Pad for Street Fighter, NES Online, Puyo Puyo Tetris, etc
That makes sense. It's been so long since I used NES online, but I don't think I used the D pad even then. I wouldn't even know if my 2 pro controllers had defects, as many others report with their d pads!
A hat in time stealth release would be great That and castle crashers is on my list so either or I'd be happy releasing today.
I actually find myself preferring the Switch D-pad in many side scrollers. I guess I probably just got used to it, but I feel like it's so much better for precision jumping/movement
@PikPi I believe it probably is more precise. I should make a concerted effort to try using it more. I think solely using the control stick has just became ingrained for me.
I'm 14 hours into Persona Q2 now. I'm liking it lots (I completed the first game)
So far I've seen no new shadow's which is a shame. They are reused assets from the first game. The FOEs are all new at least.
Obviously the lack of English voice acting is another big difference and a shame.
But other than that I think the changes made improve on the original formula. Auto healing when returning to the main hub being a biggie, but there are many more.
@AlternateButtons No idea. They're focusing on "indie games" today, though, and Gears for Breakfast has been silent for months. This seems like the ideal opportunity to announce some sort of news about it.
@Tangerine I've used many D-Pads in my life and the Joy-Con D-Pads are one of my favorites because it is extremely precise with menu navigation (great for RPGs) and platformers. Games like Sonic Mania and Hollow Knight really show that off well.
Top-down games like Blaster Master Zero suffer from it since it doesn't feel good, but in that case I would have used the analog stick anyway, traditional D-Pad or no.
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
Wow... coincidentally I was just told not to use the control stick by Cadance in Cadance of Hyrule! I've only just downloaded/played it for 10 mins. Definitely one to use the D pad in! First game I've felt it necessary actually. The rhythm element makes it a no brainer. Side note: this game is tough! I've never played crypt of the necrodancer. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually... fingers crossed!
