Re: PSA: Switch 2 Update Adds Handheld Mode Boost, Here's How To Use It

@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

@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.

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

@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?!

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.

Re: EA Sports FC Revealed To Use AI For Some Commentator Voiceover

@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.

Re: Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! Brings A "New Retro FPS" Experience To Switch 2 This March

Satire that becomes it's own propaganda. Sigh.

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.

Re: Talking Point: Age Of Imprisonment Could Inspire Next Zelda Game, Say Devs, But What Does That Mean?

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!
