Wait, didn't capturing give you better rewards? Yes, killing and carving nets a bit more but you have a better chance on more rare drops while capturing. If I remember correctly this was already a thing since Tri (my first MH game), or started with 4.
@fafonio Oh I do! I'm sure that Galaxy is a great game, but if the movement is so slow, clunky and limited compared to every other 3D Mario game, the very core essence of a Mario 3D platformer game, then it breaks the game for me. I jumped into Galaxy right after Sunshine and the difference in movement and responsiveness is night and day.
Maybe the voice acting is a bit nitpicking, but to me the va is also important in these Mario games as you have to listen to it after every move you make. Just like the older Luigi's Mansion games, the va in these recent games just pale in comparison. I'm not keen on hearing an off-tune, unenthusiastic 'wahooo' after every triplejump (which happens a LOT!).
Already sold mine. After completing Sunshine, Galaxy's movement is just so clunky and slow (and they removed some of the best platforming moves!). It's voice acting for Mario is also very subpar, like nails running across a board with every jump or move. Couldn't play through that.
Do you actually need to play part 1 & 2 first or is it more like Valkyria Chronicles? That its more a shared world and history but you don't really need to play in chronological order to understand the story/reasons.
I hope they don't pull the same ***** they did with the Metroid Prime trilogy on the Wiiu with the controllers. I'm not keen on being forced to play in dock mode for Mario Galaxy.
I like the game a lot, but I just can't get used to Luigi's voice in this one. In the first Luigi's Mansion you can actually hear him screech when he's scared. In this one its always like an monotone "aaaaaah" while his facial expression is terrified. It's like the 90's child actor screams from the Goosbumps or Are you afraid of the dark shows.
@Kalmaro Only the characters are split up. The base game is the same for both versions. They claim that they did this to make it more affordable. It still a bit confusing though
@Tiefseemiez It does. The board game is amazing and blends WW2 with the occult rather well. The story campaign of an American battalion suddenly finding themselves between occult Nazi's and the deep ones was really fun to play.
Can they do the switch dashboard too? Would love it to behave just like the 3ds, instead of having to click on a button all the way to the left before I can see all of my games.
@crashnnburn It's what we call the deadzone of the joystick. In other words, the zone where a joystick can move all it wants but not register input. Being the twitch shooter that it is, the deadzone on DOOM is way too big, especially for precision shooting demons from afar (god, that challenge with the heavy machine gun and movement impairing took many tries). So far, I could not find any way to change the deadzone, and changing the sensitivity does not fix that for me.
Edit: additional information. The deadzone is used to prevent accidental movement when the joystick jitters.
@mrjakku Already done that mate. Got new ones back but the problem persists. Contacted them again and they insisted that they replaced the joy cons, written in a not so friendly email. But the customer support here in the Netherlands never are that friendly though.
@Over5799 You mean they made it sound like the entire rumble thing is broken on purpose? My Joy-cons make this really, REALLY loud and high pitched "WEEEEEEEEEEH" sound with certain games, it really doesn't sound healthy. As if everything is loose inside the Joy-con.
Gods, not HD rumble. My Switch makes obnoxiously loud noises when using HD rumble. Even in the Octopath Traveler demo when someone opens a door it sounds like cat slowly getting run over.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Well, at E3 Reggie said: "We know that our fans, our players, want access to all of our digital content, we know that. What we're working through is, 'okay, what's going to be the best way to make that happen, to make that available?' Certainly, we recognize there's an appetite for all of our great legacy content.".
If you think you can play New Super Mario Bros. U with just your gamepad and a wii controller, you are going to have a incredible horrible time.
For some goddamreason, what they thought was the best reason ever, you cant play with your gamepad controller and a wii controller to play with two people. You can play singleplayer with the gamepad, but the multiplayer is a big nono.
Big waste of my 20 euro's and I really hope they'll refund my purchase. Because at no point on the productpage does it state that you can't use your gamepad for a 2 player coop game.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE There are actually a lot of people enjoying this game, like me, who are not butt hurt whiny entitled kids. Never have to wait long for a party
But forcing players to use the WII remote (which I find horrific to use, I loved the GC controls) on a WiiU is terrible. Especially when you give the option to use the WiiUpad screen but you can't play on it.
Your are right, but it isn't little pieces with Fire Emblem Fates. Whole slabs of content just got ripped out as if it's nothing. That's the problem here and it shouldn't be accepted as something normal. We did that with flavorless running and gunning games and in game purchases and look where that ended.
Everybody here is whining about entitlement while the real reason is game studios no longer have the freedom to make games how they want them to be. I don't care what content is being cut, the fact that it's being cut to make a small bullying group happy is disgusting.
What happened to the artistic freedom games have according to the artistic freedom law? A lot of eastern bound studios don't want to release their games in the west because of this. Maybe we should censor paintings and statues too now. Cause I don't like how I can see the top part of Mona Lisa's cleavage and I find that VERY offensive.
I hate what the game industry has become. And I won't spend my hard earned money on games (and I spend a lot of money on games) that have been butchered to the same degree as Fire Emblem Fates has been.
@Megumi Nintendo is very protective of it's IPs and with good reason. The nature of the project doesn't matter, it will always be taken down if it gets too much attention.
Disgusting censorship. Was actually psyched for this one and Fire Emblem Fates. Not going to buy games that are altered for some pathetic self entitled group. Thought videogames where protected under the art law but I guess we just give in to bullies now. The videogame culture is dying.
@JaxonH So in other words, hardmode Birthright is still easier than hardmode Conquest. I don't like this at all. I'm a big fan of difficult strategy games but I'm not fan of the art style of Conquest. So now I'm kind of forced to play a game which art style is not to my taste so that I can play a difficulty that is to my taste (outside of the standard difficulty settings).
I'm actually happy they released SNES games for the N3DS. I've never owned a SNES and now I payed 12 euro's for Super Mario World and Earthbound, two games I've always wanted to play, and I couldn't be any happier.
