Re: Random: Super Mario 3D All-Stars' Cartridge Is Rubbing People Up The Wrong Way

Facelord

Yeah, looks bad but eh. I was fortunate enough to pre-order a physical copy, but it won't be arriving on launch day, it seems. I'm tempted to get a digital copy as well, since Nintendo are Disney Vault-ing the collection which is utterly horrible. The idea of losing my cartridge and not having a way of repurchasing the game makes my stomach churn, can't believe how anti-consumer that is. Gross to reward them with two purchases, but ehhh.

Re: Square Enix Is Offering Up To 50% Off Final Fantasy, Trials Of Mana And More

@mariomaster96 FF12 is far better than FF10, in my book. Best FF title released after FF9, incredible game. One of the best narratives, too. Most FF games have "baby's first RPG" storylines, very simplistic, and FF12 is such a massive step up. Not a surprise, considering the guy behind FF Tactics, Tactics Ogre and Vagrant Story is behind it.

Re: id Software Will Share The Release Date Of DOOM Eternal For Switch "Pretty Soon"

Facelord

@robr Rage 2 is mainly from Avalanche Studios, and also a bad game. Doom Eternal is the best, man, and Panic Button is doing the Switch port. Panic Button isn't gonna go to Avalanche and say "hey, can we fix your game Rage 2? We've never used your engine before, but I'm sure we can do a better job than you!"

But yeah, Rage 2 sucks, Doom Eternal is the best arena shooter I've ever played. Only downsides are Doomguy kneeling to Novik and speaking.

Re: Random: Hacker Solves Switch Joy-Con Drift By Cannibalising A Valve Steam Controller

Facelord

@RupeeClock I have a Steam Controller, you can click in the touchpads like L3/R3. I was excited for the thing, gave it a go, could never adjust to the awful button placement. I would've preferred a D-pad in place of the left touchpad, and a smaller touchpad on the right with the buttons higher.

As it stands, I'm sticking with my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and a Corsair Lapdog for my PC gaming in the living room. Wish Valve had refined their Steam Controller with revisions, maybe made it modular or maybe customizable when ordered.

Re: Nintendo Bans Online Services For Prominent Hacker's Switch Console

Facelord

I think this is overreach, and people need to understand that if Nintendo starts going on a witch hunt, you could always be next. Banning the hacked console is fine, but banning a console that hasn't been modified in any way is a bit unreasonable.

I once had a harassment and mass-reporting campaign against me on Steam; long story short, an ex of mine was good friends with the admins of the biggest(at the time) weeaboo group on Steam, she had them rally their members to harass me, I'd say something like "f off" and they'd mass-reporting every single instance like that they could find.

It led to a few bans that made my account inaccessible for a year or two. Kinda kicked me out of PC gaming. It would've been a permanent ban, but I talked them out of it and thankfully the heat was off me by then. When I returned, I totally-spitefully reported all the instances of the N word and the fa-word on their public comments section and got that group taken down. Booyah.

Anyways, account bans are devastating and it makes me uncomfortable to see it happen like this. Not cool. "First they came for the hackers, but I didn't care because I wasn't one..."

Re: The Virtual Console Isn't Coming To Switch, Nintendo Confirms

Facelord

@retro_player_22 Well, OBVIOUSLY because it pushes players like me to piracy. You shouldn't be forced to jailbreak your system to play VC titles.

The Switch did well without the VC because people saw the potential in the system. It'll only be a passing fad like the Wii(sales were good from 2006-2009, subpar after) if they keep this idiocy up. Switch needs VC, and Nintendo doesn't benefit from apologists.

Re: The Virtual Console Isn't Coming To Switch, Nintendo Confirms

@gauthieryannick Those aren't portable consoles, and that's not forward-thinking. That's the OPPOSITE of forward-thinking. I swear, only Nintendo fans would defend the loss of a massive feature like Virtual Console. Sony fans are pissed about how Sony handled PlayStation Classics on the PS4. I bought an Xbone last year just because they supported older games, and now I regret buying my Switch at launch because they aren't bringing Virtual Console.

My Switch has collected dust for the past 3-4 months, now that they're not bringing VC to it I'm gonna gonna get a GPD system and emulate everything.

Without paying Nintendo.

They're missing out on sales. Absolutely idiotic on their part. I don't know what the hell they're thinking, except maybe they wanna sell GameCube games at full retail price? Seriously, so anti-consumer and stupid. I don't care about NES games, I only care about SNES and up. Grrrrr.

Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Forces Is 720p, 30fps On Nintendo Switch

Facelord

I'm okay with 30 FPS, but 720p? Bleh. If it runs spectacular in handheld mode, it's not that big a deal for me; if it's below 720p in handheld, double-bleh. I'd prefer the graphical fidelity see a minor downgrade and the resolution boost to 900p docked. Anything below 900p looks rough on my 1080p projector(120 inch image).
