Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch OLED, Worth The Upgrade? Team NL Has A Chat

PocketQ3

@SpaceboyScreams Also it really is a shame that they've basically just been coasting on their success. People just wanted the Virtual Console and for their games to not run at sub-720p (like 380p-ish for games like XC2) in handheld and sub-1080p docked. At least that's all I wanted. (and enough power for certain games I love to get ports)

I've been waiting years to gets ports of so many must-have games that still have no sign of making it to the system so no. And with below-720p resolutions in a lot of games with no anti-aliasing options to smooth that out even, and the same battery life, what is even the point of getting an OLED screen... Nooooope. I love Nintendo's software but I'm playing 'em on PC now instead with awesome ReShade effects like a BotW-style toon shader in Smash Ultimate. Looks awesome and runs amazing! I'm over Nintendo hardware. (And my PC is low-budget even)

Bring on the Steam Deck, instead!

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting A Switch OLED Or Valve Steam Deck?

PocketQ3

Already have my OG Switch for Nintendo games

Jumping ship on 3rd-party ports for Switch to play them on a Steam Deck instead, and they're already purchased

And as Yuzu gets better and better I'll probably put my whole Nintendo library on the thing someday so...yeah. Steam Deck. Get to mod everything and even code games in desktop mode. The thing is awesome!

Re: Soapbox: One Year On, Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is History

PocketQ3

I wish they'd add a lot more minigames and interactive things to do... I still like it but outside of cosmetic customizations it's a pretty shallow experience. I'm hoping for a nice expansion DLC or something at some point for it. It has SO much potential it's crazy.

I still enjoy it for what it is.

Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?

PocketQ3

I stopped running super-high-powered consoles and PCs once I realized they were turning my gaming room into a sauna.

The Switch, a Ryzen 3400G PC, my tablet, and classic emulators and romhacking/modding is way more than enough to keep me entertained.

Really just want a spec boost for the Switch soon.

Re: Talking Point: Could Monster Hunter Rise Hint At New Switch Hardware On The Horizon?

PocketQ3

I hope they actually go through with it, rather than just letting the Switch fizzle out like the Wii did. Come on, Nintendo! You know we all want to play BotW 2 and all our Switch games in the best way possible! Don't want history to repeat itself here. Wii was underpowered and non-HD. Switch is finally HD but now other consoles are 4k. It's giving me deja vu.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care about 4k. I want a portable Switch with a no-bezel 1080p screen, and smooth 1080p docked gameplay. With the power to get ports of games like FFXV and an internal HDD/SDD to actually have enough storage for things. Maybe then we could even get a FFXIV port which I'd personally like.

Re: Review: Paper Mario: The Origami King - A Puzzling Battle System Can't Kill This Funny Adventure

PocketQ3

It's worth playing just for the writing alone. THAT'S what made the old games so special and fun, not the watered down RPG mechanics.

The lack of experience points doesn't mean there's no progression. It's just done more in the style of Zelda with heart containers and items. I think most of you thinking of passing on this because it doesn't seem like TTYD should give this game a chance.

This is coming from a guy that cringed hard at the paper craft graphics and lack of experience points too for the first few hours of this game, because PM64 and TTYD were my childhood and I still adore them. Once you get that first party member the game takes a huge turn and becomes just as magical as the first two games.

Give it a chance!

I loved the old Paper Mario games back then because they gave life to the world of Mario in ways the platformers just never did. This game reminded me of that.

Re: Review: The Last Remnant Remastered - An RPG With Fine Ideas Scuppered By A Lack Of Clarity

PocketQ3

5/10 is pretty harsh. The original release's main issue was the horrible texture pop-in and optimization, and this game that you say "Square Enix decided to remaster few asked for" deserved this second chance. Then you complain about the voice acting, and yet it's fine and it even syncs properly with their lips unlike Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (god that was awful). This was a douche review. This game is better than that, even if it didn't suit your tastes.

And gamers don't mind looking up mechanics and info on games like this. This is why GameFAQs exists.

Re: Rumour: Multiple Witcher 3 Listings For Nintendo Switch Appear Online

PocketQ3

This is why I love the Switch so much. With CRPG/WRPGs announced for it like Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pillars of Eternity, and hopefully this, along with all the colorful Nintendo games and JRPGs, we get tons of variety in a library of games we can play anywhere. Love it.

Edit: Oh and if this is a real port, I'd like to see the real FFXV ported too, please, Square...

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Revealed For Nintendo Switch, New Starters Shown

PocketQ3

I haven't been this hyped for a Switch exclusive since BOTW!!! I thought Fire Emblem would do it for me but I really don't like the school aspect of it... I'll enjoy it, but I doubt it'll be my favorite. Wish they'd go back to the old art style, too.

But anyway, POKEMON LOOKS AMAAAAZZIIIINNNGG!!! HYYYYPE!!!

Traditional Pokemon mechanics are PERFECT. Naysayers be damned.
