I initially wanted to go with edelgard, but when I started playing I decided ded I liked blue lions better! I still will go Black Eagles for 2nd playthrough though.
Okay. I may be not objective here - I have As and my son is autistic (we both are on a spectrum) . But this sounds harsh. We don't know the extent of him mistreating people. He feels remorse. He is trying to right his wrongs. Also, I think it breaks his copyrights if his voice is in game but he is not credited.
@Jojabean44 atelier games come in trilogies often. And this game will likely be the first one in its own trilogy. At the very least it will not be tied to any of the previous atelier games. This is the perfect opportunity to jump onto the atelier train!
Voted all the time. While I had the problem I had both joycons drift several times a day, and I play about 1-2h a day. I tried disassembling sticks and it helped for 2 days. I eventually replaced sticks with ones from Amazon, albeit I am not that happy with quality
@thesilverbrick I tried that, and I tried cleaning my joycons with isopropanol (do not handle unless you know what isopropanol is ), but it got better for few days only. So i am hoping this new batch will be improved.
@graysoncharles You know, many of them were saying something along those lines "I am not believing it until there's an official statement". So they will now say that there is an official statement
@BacklogBlues this time, however, it's about possible sequels to the game, not something unrelated or making a port. It makes sense to make more new games if new IP is successful. So here I understand they just want to say that they did not plan is as a single entry only
@retro_player_22 while i understand your point of view, and generally I do agree that it'd be better if they waited with the announcement of dlcs, I do think the problem is bigger and more complex. Costs of development rose much more than costs of games and dlcs are often the way to make it even. And the fact that there will be dlcs and season pass was kinda certain.
@retro_player_22 the game is not outbuet, but I'm quite sure it's already finished and in manufacturing process. That leaves the devs (especially art directors) to plan future content
As much as every compilation like this is bound to be very subjective, I am really glade Atelier Lulua made it onto the list! That is, indeed, one of the best Atelier games, which are really different from other RPGs.
I played I am setsuna, and while the story and anesthetics were really nice, I just couldn't get into this game. So while this looks interesting I'm gonna wait for some reviews
@JayJ because this remaster was now being released on all platforms.
As for me ac3 was my fav in the series so I picked it up yesterday morning. And I am really happy with it after 2h of playing. Framer ates are not that bad. And I am just enjoying the game rather comparing it to versions on other platforms.
@ShinyUmbreon from what I remember they said they were going to stop adding games EVENTUALLY. Since the number of games is limited. I do t remember ninty saying they were going to stop soon
@Morrow Anime follows only part of the first game story, then it kinda branches a little bit. The most important part of the story of the first game is not covered in the anime
@StevenG Bezel or not, My phone's screen size is 5.2'', while Switch has 1'' more. So there's that, and the fact that I can more easily plug it into hotel TVs. That would make having Netflix on Switch worthwile. Of course, that's only my opinion
@Multi Indeed, not essential. However, since so many other platforms do have it, why not Switch too?
@Multi None of other devices I have on me at all times have a screen with a size close to the Switch. And the argument that we have other devices does not stand if it was released on so many other major consoles so far, including PS Vita - a handheld.
BotW had some long loading times indeed, although it never was so long that it would annoy me. Still, I wonder how this boost mode can be operated and if it can be used eg during some short, but resource-heavy event in game or is it heavily restricted to loading screens
I played on rented Oculus a year ago for oven an hour and had no problems with sickness, until I tried racing game (project cars, I think it was). Now, botw looks amazing in labo vr, how even I can't stomach it for more than 3 minutes. Not sure if I can work it out or not. So I really do like this experience, although I expected to be able to use it more
Big no from me. Being o a spectrum and having odd makes me feel I need to have those trophies. I spend considerable time fighting this and now that I have switch I feel much better knowing that there are no trophies to fight for. Makes me able to enjoy games so much more
@rjejr Alright, I stand corrected, in the instances I could find, there was 1 month period between announcement and release. I am honestly surprised. Also, on 3DS wikipedia page it say:
"Rumors of a larger model of the Nintendo 3DS being in production appeared during June 2012, when Japanese publication Nikkei wrote an article stating that the system was initially scheduled to be unveiled at E3 2012. However, Nintendo responded that these rumors were false and that the article was "entire speculation", but refrained from further commenting on the subject.[59] Finally, on June 21, 2012, the system was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation"
And this does sound much like Nikkei rumours we hear right now
There's no chance it'd be released by the end of june, way too early. With original there was 6 months time span before announcement and release. Having this period too short would make many customers unprepared financially
@KingdomHeartsFan I'd say that this depends on the level your brain perceives something as "real", and thus being isolated from outside stimuli and following head motion seem necessary. Additionally you can employ stereoscopic vision. Using VR headsets generally fulfills those conditions, even if your avatar is the camera and not games MC. Staring at the screen, however, makes you more aware that you are just playing a game, and thus TVs or screens do not make you nauseous, opposite to VR goggles - the effect comes from your brain seeing movement, while not perceiving it through inner ear. That is also a sign that the VR technology tricks your brain more than conventional gaming, where seeing the screen lets your brain know that you are actually not moving.
@Bunkerneath These are barely semantics and depend on point of view. There are non-first person games on ps vr, and also, if you consider that the first person character does not need to be the same character as the one being controlled by gamepad, than you do fit in the definition - the camera movement reflects the movement of your head, thus camera is your VR-avatar, which follows Link, and Link is not your POV character.
I want to try BotW with goggles on, before I try adding headstrap myself. However, I find it quite likely I am going to replay the game in VR, unless it turns out to be very unplayable. This is the main reason i got this headset in the first place
This reminds me that Persona 5 has still not been officialy annoucned for Switch D: . That's one of the two non-switch games I am waiting for (second being NieR: Automata). Sony's store had some sweet deals on it already, but I need to be able to play it on the go, if I am ever to play this game.
@Susurrus Indeed, too many times it happened that I was quickly going out, unplugging my switch and shoving it in a hardcase. Only to find a very hot console after half an hour, because it turned on without me noticing.

Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Want Achievements On Switch?
In addition of the issues I mentioned earlier there are few questions that need to be answered:
Are Nintendo games and consoles selling worse due to lack of achievements?
How much would implementation cost and how much more income (if any) would it bring?
Would having achievements make people buy and play games more?
Are we ready for inevitable of downpour of games existing solely for achievements, such as "I am mayo"?
Also, kotaku once had an article that I find hard to disagree with
