@rushiosan i mean its a cash grab that is quite blatantly so, but these practices are largely normalized so we just consider these 'DLC' as though its normal to pay for the survival mode in a game

I am pretty sure this entry into the Rayman series sold insanely well for a non-Nintendo platformer game, and has had a crazy good run considering. Surely there was enough rationale for a follow up entry (Legends 2 or whatever), and it cannot be for fear of lack of sales that Ubisoft didn't deliver.

@Ironcore lol, a bit optimistic on that one my man

its not really the fault of the people that make this trash, this is the fault of Nintendo for induging a system and set=up that makes this spam trash possible. SHAME on Nintendo for going from scrupulous about what they allow on their platforms, to allowing every piece of garbage churned out.

@Anti-Matter if thats your choice fair enough man, but seems like you are missing out, idk.

@cchhaasseerr Imagine whinging and complaining about pain from 5 minutes from having to use a little joystick. Are you 90? do you need some help lifting up your switch lite? Maybe you are not cut out for activities like moving your thumb and stuff.Do you get knocked over by the wind when you go outside?
And if you had read my original message, i thanked everyone for telling me, and the reason i couldnt find it is because with Nightdive ports like Turok and Powerslave the option to do that is always under the term 'gyro' but with Quake they didnt do that so i was looking for the wrong thing. I already called myself stupid for not seeing it.

@Alex79uk haha, know exactly what you mean. good times

@JAPBOO the N64 version like the Ps1 version, is quite a different game from the PC release. My personal all time favourite port is the PS1 release.

@Alex79uk Its fair enough to call something like Doom Eternal 'ultra-violent' but i cannot take that seriously the claim that Doom games with the pixel blood 'ultra-violent'. It is more goofy then disturbing

@canaryfarmer OK, i'm dumb, i have it. Thanks alot!!!

@canaryfarmer @canaryfarmer what do you mean 'edit: nevermind then'. did you hear of a way to do it? How?

@peachflavored there literally is not... but if it is there, can you tell me which of the sub options you went in to, and then what is it marked as to turn off gyro?

@Vyacheslav333 tell me about it man. I hate it, but apparently now it is so standard that we are not even getting the option to turn it OFF. I have searched everywhere a million times on this Quake II remastered release for an option to turn it OFF, and there doesn't seem to be one. And no one else even seems to care. Driving me mad. Other than that, blindingly good port.

@somnambulance thanks for the info, ill def check it out

@CrankyBonesGaming yep, this is definitely an annoyance. preferring not to use the wheel, but the other option for weapon selection.

can someone please tell me if they are having the same issue as me: turning OFF gyro aiming. There does not seem to be a single option to do that. Anyone managed?

update: problem solved. thanks to everyone that told me where to find it! I truly feel dumb smh

I always just skip past Owlboy thinking it is just another generic metroidvania type title. I didnt know it is considered a good game.

11 tables - thats a lot of content and challenge. Gotta love Zen for creating such quality tables, although i personally still think the Aliens table is their best ever.

@LikelySatan so have you changed your mind yet that Quake 2 is better than Quake 1?

is any one else finding there is no option to turn gyro aiming off?

@Beaucine yeah, i agree, Doom 3 is a horrible game

@LikelySatan are you on drugs my man? Love Quake 1, but QUake 2 is a better game in everyway. More interesting techno-hell enemies, better weapons (pulse rifle is epic), an actual music soundtrack unlike Q1 which kind of runs more with ambient sounds than a metal soundtrack like Q2 got. Better level design and an actual endgame boss unlike the insane psuedo-boss we got in Quake 1. I cannot fathom how anyone things Q1 is a better game than Q2.

Quake II is one of the greatest games of all time. This is excellent news

@echoplex 'Viola' is also a popular Polish female name

@-wc- I am not saying Cuphead isn't hard 'because of SHMUPS' lol. i am asserting no causal relation between them. I am just saying Cuphead is not that hard and that your average SHMUP is way harder, for instance, yet people dont rage on the difficulty of say, Dragon Blaze. 1CC applies to your average SHMUP because it is based on the arcade system of so many lives before game over and needing to use a continue. Its been a while since i cleared cuphead, but i do not remember the game utilizing lives and continues in that way.

@FineLerv i really dont think Cuphead is insanely hard. i mean it is challenging, but it is not the monster some people make it out to be. Your average well made SHUMP/STG will be 20 times harder to clear (1cc) than Cuphead.

@Tryffel for sure. i mean the negative (it is basically a cake walk and far too easy) should knock more than one point off because that is a massive negative, and will make a lot of people just not bother.

we need to stop encouraging the production and purchase of low effort junk video game 'merchandise' lol. People throwing away money smh

@Sambuc what made you even think of Metroid Prime Hunters in the same context as this?

@tektite_captain yeah, i agree. i wonder if we are gonna be trying to save every piece of shovelware trash just because it exists

excuse my ignorance, but are these games getting a digital release as well?

Its amazing that with Metroid Nintendo will for some reason do a quick price drop and give an actual deal on a game.

i try not to hate on small/medium businesses because its tough as things are out there, but Limited Run Games are an absolutely horrible company.

@Roger_Brazil thanks!

so i have spent many hours with this game, and there are some things to say...

1: the difficulty calibration on this game is stupid I know it is kind of fashionable for STG devs to troll on their STG customers with difficulty settings like 'very easy', 'child' and then make those modes basically hard modes. its whatever, and just makes the STG scene have wildly inconsistent norms for what counts as 'hard' and 'easy'. Devil Engine only having 2 modes of 'Very Hard' and 'Very Easy' when very easy is basically hard mode and very hard basically unplayable beyond first couple of levels, is stupid. Having said that, Devil Engine is still a decent SHMUP worth playing

2: Level 1 should have been better designed. That slow move through the obstacle portion gets tedious as hell

3: I hear a lot about the composer and the drama thast has surrounded the game vis-a-vis rights, royalties and permissions. the music in this game is not that great. it is loopy and kind of out of place a lot of the time. It is not some generic low effort, but it is nothing to write home about either.

4: Honestly, everyone involved in this drama should just get over it. its like never letting go. i meana live and learn. there is probably some injustice in all of this for sure, but legally Chapman looks within his rights. It is what it is, and now Bailey is leaving the industry, but just through the sheer amount of noise this all created. The music score is not that great, there are STG's with way better. this wasn't worth sacrificing a career over.

@YoshiF2 i am betting on early/spring 2025

@Duncanballs yeah, but non of this is necessary. i mean you could have just killed them using the standard mechanics that existed in BotW - it is juts a 'creative' approach to fighting, but ultimately a gimmick where the novelty wears off.

Switch killing it with the STG/SHMUP scene. good to see

@Perryg92 for sure. these are the TR games i would least like to play smh

i knew this game was gonna turn into a gimmick headline filler for the next 2 years or so. i mean it was fun playing with ultrahand for a bit, but it pretty quickly becomes apparent that it is essentially a gimmick. Hours easily get buried messing around with this stuff (fuse feels kinds pointless most the time), but idk, obviously you have to use these new 'runes' to clear shrines and 'temples' (BotW cut and paste), but the novelty quickly wears off, unless your the type that likes to be 'creative' and build all these pointless things. BotW is a far superior game. Also, no one seems to be talking about how next level bad the voice acting is in TotK. BotW had its issues, but ugh.

@Bobb fair enough. i mean some rationale as to why the characters are doing whatever they are doing is necessary.

@Bobb you love reading their lore?

man, thats just some made up filler 'lore' whacked in to give the game the appearance of 'depth' and meaning. Its a fighter game, gameplay is king and all that matters. This mysterious story filler stuff that has grown ever since Dark Souls backfilled its worlds with 'lore' is getting kinda tedious.. I mean one of the characters is straight out of Bloodborne, and the black guy looks like a crossover between Solidus and Fatman for MGS2 and Vulcan Raven from MGS 1- so i mean they are obviously drawing upon a heavy 'lore' filled genre/franchise. sticking this 'lore' cliche into a beat em up just feels kind of meh

Resi 9, Dino Crisis 4, and Resi: Gun Survivor 1 Remake (all Switxh exclusives) incoming

@The_Pixel_King
it was on the game trials thing a while back. i tired it but couldnt get into at all. but people love it. maybe i should give another shot.

@NeonPizza i was born in 80's, playing games like Duke Nukem, and Quake not really on release, but a few years later in later 90's when i was a young teen. i think thats how it is for a lot of us.

man, feels kinda rough. Insider trading is the daily bread for US politicians lol. if this was the west i dont imagine such a harsh sentence. But insider trading is insider trading...

@Chaotic_Neutral if you got access to the jigglypuff, then i stand corrected

yeah, i feel wearing one of these is a guaranteed way to make sure no woman ever approaches you ever.
