@squiddu-real I understand they did it in simple mode. What I am saying is they didn't have to program it in this way. They could have programmed it to be a third distinct mode that had the TV output but still the handheld features. It just means more lines of code. They didn't do that, and it's kinda lame
I absolutely hate the abstraction movement. I prefer literal representation or a simple button. C is the best way to go in this case. Pictographs were replaced with words for a reason.
@bnutz2k Best Trek game is without a doubt Bridge Commander. I think this is the second best.
I think if you wait for it to be cheap, we won't get another game.
The idea has already been floated to make an Enterprise sequel to this game. I think the game is about 100k copies sold which isn't enough to even ensure this game gets updates. Don't wait. Buy it.
I did make a forum post about the game and the discord is actually one of the better discords I've ever been in. The game hopefully will get better, I highly recommend it but preference it as the fact that it's a good gameplay loop but not the most skill based game ever
@Bass_X0 I mean... Ok. There's not much reason to play these games without it. Every single good VB game has another version of it without 3d that's technically a better game. Red Alert has Starfox, Tennis has Tennis, Wario has 4 Wario land games, and Teleroboxer has Punch out. The 3D is fun and worth playing but not for 200 bucks, unless you're buying the actual VB for collecting as well.
I was always a proponent of the VB but Nintendo really should just give us every game on a cartridge for 200 bucks. It's greed to make this a subscription and I regret acting on it. I just paid my credit card and cringe at 250 bucks spent getting a GameCube switch controller, the VB and a year of online. Wtf was I thinking?!
@Bass_X0 yeah that clocks. Greedy ***** aren't happy with nearly 250 bucks in profit. They have to try and milk it more. Great. I already had the best 4 VB games and the one I haven't played up now isn't worth even 15 minutes. I really screwed up by giving them money.
Poker night is very disappointing to me. The fast advance doesn't actually show you the cards so you have to either not know what happens when you fold or wait minutes to see it naturally resolve, which is pretty unforgivable The AI isn't very smart with the poker so the game isn't up to snuff.
I really was hoping this would allow me to play poker like in RDR2 without getting on my laptop, but instead I have a game that whole funny at times, isn't engaging even at 10 dollars.
This feels like the latest nostalgia push I have seen. I don't know if it will work or not. I did not think they were going to try to make this a thing again 40 years later.
I haven't been a Pokemon person in nearly 30 years. I played the first GBA one and realized it was for me.
I guess I realized that I don't want to catch them all of they just keep adding them. I might have stuck with it if they dropped the two game formula, but they didn't.
@kal_el_07241 Except that's not how the world works. They get you to accept something awful just a little bit, or in this context... Then it's literally everywhere and there's no way to do anything you used to love without supporting this dystopia.
I feel like living in a cabin off grid as a hermit is becoming more and more attractive.
I'm part of the .9% that is objectively correct about what's the best. However no one can be wrong about their favorite. Be proud of it. Love all the diversity.
You're not supposed to side with the humans. The humans were the bad guys. The movie shows they used a series of false flag operations to plot a war to justify their evil government. They abducted aliens to dissect them. They murdered religious minorities, and then destroyed their own city to drive the population to hatred.
Unless this game is built around this premise, then it's basically a game where you're glorifying the villain.
But I guess it's too fun to say I'm doing my part.
I unironically think Starship Troopers is the best movie made in the 90s not named Shawshank Redemption. It's the best satire of all time. I just wish people understood it.
But Helldivers illustrated that it's just become another resource for people to argue against freedom.
I don't know, I didn't really think it was that great of a demo. I am going to play the demo again and think about it. Is it going to be a game key card?
There's an absolute million of action RPGs out there and most of them try to be souls or Devil May Gaiden. I am not in the camp that a lot of the commenters are in that Zelda should be more like those.
I don't like those games. I don't like super easy games but I don't like very hard ones either. If they're hard because of intelligence being stressed, that's good. But if they hard because you need very good reflexes, visual acuity, and intense pattern recognition/ memorization then I don't want to play it. I'm getting older. My hands hurt. My eyes dry out, I am exhausted by how bad the world is and I want to have a good time and not a bad time.
I am glad you like those games, but you don't change a game like Zelda into those. You piss off the fan base. If you like those games, go play elden ring because that was made for you.
I mean, FF7 remake was a game I would have liked to play as a turn based game but they made it action RPG and I didn't like it. I played the demo and was mad because I wanted to take it easy but I had to run around even in the classic mode. That's a franchise I loved as a child that I don't want to play because my body isn't up for it. It's an accessibility issue for me. So everyone hoping Link goes more like that, I feel attacked.
I would kill for another Earthbound, you could play that on the SNES with just your left hand. That would be so nice for my poor right thumb!

I don't understand why you have to detach the joycon to use another controller. That's a weird flaw.

Re: Mario Kart World Hori Racing Wheels Releasing For Switch 2 This Month
I learned long ago not to buy these things. Rarely will you ever get enough out of them to justify the cost.
These things are only for extreme circumstances, like flight sim training for real life or drumming training.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Has "No Plans For Additional DLCs Or Expansions"
@JohnnyMind Oh man. Need to get on that, it is legitimately the best game on the system, not including older games originally released on the switch.

Too bad, but understandable. They're probably 1/3rd the way to the release of the next one by now.

The game needs work but it a great concept and good enough for a star trek fan to dump over hundred hours into.
I know because I have.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Virtual Boy And GBA Library With Three More Titles
