@Heavyarms55 lmao sorry nobody here can take a joke bud. I thought it was pretty funny. The PushSquare writers ARE getting really haughty lately, a lot of smelling-Sony's-farts going on over there. I just leave them to it, at least their "journalism" has its own separate site to pollute.

I'm only at the fourth gym, but honestly I think there's a lot to like in SnS. People keep focusing on the problems rather than the good stuff it has in it. That sort of perspective's just bound to make you miserable :/

@Xylnox I read that all in Happy's voice fml

@LetsGoSwitch Speak for yourself lmao

Well I guess that's what you're doing

Carry on

@GamingFan4Lyf Nintendo successfully taught horses not to run into trees, now if only they could teach them not to run headfirst into guardian beams that would be swell

It's interesting to hear a non-esports professional talk about gameplay like that. What a nerd!

@sixrings Triple buffering would cause input delay on any device, by design. The delay is so small that most people wouldn't notice, and I'm almost confident you've played a game with triple buffering without noticing the delay, either.

@beazlen1 I hope Ring Fit does well. In my opinion it's a great step forward (no pun intended) for fitness games. Gimme a whole series with a good RPG storyline and I'd be the fittest dude in town.

@LordGeovanni If anything, people who avoid buying games based on what they read in reviews are the "sheep." Free thinkers would have to play it to judge it for themselves, no?

@glaemay I feel the same way. Then again I've kinda felt the same way about "acclaimed" open world games like Assassin's Creed and The Witcher as well. I feel like just because the game has a ton of points of interest vomited up into a large space doesn't make the space compelling. Witcher for example has innumerable little question marks on its world map, but they're all gonna be either "kill the bandits" or "kill the monsters."

I think Breath of the Wild is the king of open world games because it's the only one where exploration is fun because of THE WORLD itself and not the objectives in it. Don't get me wrong, the shrines are a big part of motivating me to explore, but mostly I just wanted to get to the top of every mountain lol.

@SquareOneMJ

Let's Go is a good jumping-in point, it's basically "Pokemon Lite." And that's not a bad thing! It's still a fun adventure, and if your child has never played the original Red / Blue / Yellow then they'll find it pretty fresh.

However, if I was a kid and asked for a "random Pokemon game" and I knew the newest ones had just come out, everyone knows I'm asking for the newest one. Sword and Shield aren't gonna be as easy to get into as Let's Go, but they're current and exciting.

Good luck!

@Joeynator3000 Thumper took me like 20 hours to finish, lol

@Ooyah Imagine a mini GameCube. Oml my heart.

Dogs and cats actually both have reasonably good eyesight (cats' vision is more acute and more colorful than dogs).

@BarefootBowser At least in America, where politicians seem to currently be able to get away with anything, people get a little euphoric when they see actual justice being done for once lol

I can't believe there aren't more permanent stores throughout the world. They could put one in my local shopping mall and it'd do great. London seems like a no-brainer given the city size and level of Poké-passion.

"Let's hope it's better than Okamiden"

Wow, way to backhand the dev team that poured their hearts into that game and actually created a passable 3D action title on the freaking DS, lol

I mean, I can play this version on my work break. That makes this the best version xD

If you're turned off by cutesy anime bunny girls you cannot be my friend

@Lizuka Your first sentence made me laugh out loud. I imagined you wearing a pink skirt and stomping and pouting. I wanted the golden goose Daddy! Lol

@m8e3point1415 Too bad too, I think it's one of my favorite purchases in recent times. I would have paid $20-40 more for it to still be able to dock with my existing hardware though

@Heavyarms55 Only slightly ;D

LOVE my Switch Lite as a mainly handheld gamer. So sweet, small and comfy. I hope it can hold up to some serious, SERIOUS usage!

@Heavyarms55 I honestly couldn't go back to the original Switch after playing a few hours of Link's Awakening on my Lite. Felt like my wrists were going to fall off lol

@Jokerwolf I think a recent study found that most people are furries, the genes are just dormant until a specific life event wakes them up. To think that your neighbors, your best friends, even your elected officials could be unwitting carriers.

Always looking for more excuses to play this gem. Cannot to this day believe it's the work of one person.

@StableInvadeel How was it misinterpreted? The original statement didn't say "there are 18 gyms in the region, 8 of which are playable." They just said there's 18 gyms. Correct me if I'm wrong, but no Pokemon region has had an operating gym in the in-game lore that you couldn't actually challenge.

I hope the "minor league" gyms still have themes and puzzles to them and aren't just generic dojos. :/

@HumanDog Well yeah, professional streamers might not like it. They're kinda the vast minority of gamers though. I think the majority of people will love being able to play with their friends no matter what device they're using.

@gamer89 That's like saying you can get a 12 pack of soda for $3.50 so you don't understand why people ever buy individual cans for $1.00.

Bulk purchases are usually better value per item, lol.

I can't stand people who literally JUST come to this site to complain about the articles. As though there weren't a billion other places on the internet they could be right now.

Cute story.

@Nookingtons All the nerd types I know are almost obsessively clean, lol

@WiltonRoots Agreed. They hyped the NX up for so long and then just stopped talking about it all of a sudden like 2.5 years ago

It's expensive because it's not mass produced using cheap chinese labor like other plushes guys.

@Edu23XWiiU Yeah they should have not released the game for five years and paid their employees with all the imaginary money they were making. Sorry for the snark, but game dev takes money. When you run out of money, the game has to come out whether it's good and done or not. At least Hello Games bothered to finish it afterwards, unlike many AAA studios who could have actually afforded to postpone the release.

@Edu23XWiiU In its current state, No Man's Sky is pretty awesome. Can't say how it was at launch.

@Kalmaro If furret gets an evolution I will finally be using my everstone

@Audiobrainiac Well, when you pull a slot machine, you don't really have a "chance" of winning. Slots pay out after a set number of rolls. If you're not on the magic roll, you have exactly 0% chance of a payout. So giving the odds for each roll would shut down casinos xD

@Ryu_Niiyama On the other hand, I can see where @EasyDaRon is coming from. The Zelda games (mostly) let you rename Link to whatever you want, but at least he has a canon default name to fall back on if that gets you more immersed.

@nessisonett so you're against censorship except when it's something you'd rather be censored.

Or in other words, you're pro-censorship.

@Heavyarms55 I brought my OG vita to work for over three years and it still works fine

@YANDMAN @AlphaElite

Actually, the Switch Lite is slightly less deep and less tall than the New 2DS XL, which already fits comfortably in my work slacks. It's just longer, which doesn't really affect much.

Not everyone wears skinny jeans to work lol

@Heavyarms55 It's definitely worth it for guys like me who almost exclusively play their switch in handheld mode and want a way to take the system to work in a pocket rather than a case

@FarkyValentine Basically all my favorite games exist because of Kickstarter. Elite Dangerous, Parkitect, etc. It's a fine platform when used responsibly.

Maybe for the sequel they can tackle the Trump administration? xD

@Wildvine53 I guess people think it's lazy, not understanding that animations and models are reused ALL THE TIME in game development (i.e., Nathan Drake's animations have been reused for Joel in TLOU, etc.)

@KIRO Stardew Valley is an extremely slow burning game, so it doesn't seem like there's much to hook you at first. But it's the kind of game that unravels more and more features over a stupidly long time (like 100 hours+ not even joking).

@DEADCELL There's like a hundred places the story doesn't send you and you'll miss if you aren't exploring

@LUIGITORNADO never understood the hate for autoplay levels. They take a ton of skill to craft and are fun to look at. Plus, they have their own official tag in MM2, so they're basically canon to the game now

@Anti-Matter Pretty adorbs

@hakjie11 As long as I can make $22/hr delivering food (GrubHub, southwest AZ) I can see why people wouldn't want half that for a backbreaking factory job.
