Re: Poll: What Features Would You Want In A Switch 'Pro'?

betterthanvegas

I'm pretty simple. I just want it to be 1080p/60fps docked or undocked and better draw distances to populate the game worlds more. That's it. If I had to put in a request though, and hear me out first, 3d. That's right. Bring back the no glasses 3d. I loved that about the 3ds and wished it was a staple to all Nintendo games.

Re: More Than 200 Old Pokémon Are Being Added To Sword And Shield's National Dex

In all honesty the plan here by the Pokemon Company is bloody brilliant. Personally I feel this is how DLC should go for most games. Any extra content is just that, extra. You don't need any of it to finish the full game (see Asura's Wrath) and it keeps you invested in the game after you bought it and beaten it. And with there being nearly 1000 pokemon, having some be missing to make you want them more, is marketing genius. Probably totally by accident but, I digress. This was good all round. And for people complaining about the price, each expansion area which functions just like the Wild Area, has new story elements, and brings more pokemon with them, is $15. That's more than acceptable for just new maps in a game (see Call of Duty.) All in all I love what they did here and just like they pointed out in the direct, rather than make a "new" third entry for the game they just put out some DLC. Way less of a hassle for everyone.

Re: Hands On: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Could Give The Game The Second Chance It Deserves

I have no reason to buy this. I still have my Wii U version and I have it patched to include the original content. And in all honesty, its better because the story fleshes out the idea more than what we got. I've played through both options and the Japanese version did better for character development. The theme is stay true to yourself and don't change just to seem more appealing. The US version sucked at that. It does bother me that it was censored but I am more upset our content sucked. It wasn't adjust to sell more it was altered to not "upset" people and that's censorship.

Re: Rumour: Nvidia's New Tegra X1+ Chip Could Make Switch Performance "Up To 25% Faster"

betterthanvegas

The 25% doesn't seem all that impressive...until you realize that its per chip, and the new SUPER SWITCH with have SIXTEEN CHIPS! Coupled with a SECOND SCREEN and powered by your latent psychic energy, the SUPER SWITCH will blow you away, cause now it has THREE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN POINT THIRTY-FOUR SURROUND SOUND! Granting you the ability to be so immersed in your games that you summon the characters as avatars into the REAL WORLD! All while jumping 173 Double-Decker buses in your ULTRA TRUCK, powered by your SUPER SWITCH! WHICH IS POWERED BY YOU!!!!!

Re: Nintendo's Bill Trinen Wants To Dispel The Myth That Smash Bros. Became Popular By "Accident"

betterthanvegas

@MeloMan There is an interview with Iwata where he admits that a lot of the competitive moves in Melee are programming gaps. They wanted to make sure Melee launched in time so they (Iwata and Sakurai) ignored them because they thought no one would use them because of how precise you had to be. To them, the games are party games, not competitive fighters. It's why it's my least favorite Smash. Because for all intents and purposes, it's buggy. It's still a fun game.

Re: Domains For Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu And Pokémon Let's Go Eevee Appeared!

betterthanvegas

@johnvboy Exactly. For the most part leaks are "leaked" to drive hype and control fan response, as well as measure it. Its done by most companies. Look at the Black Ops 4 leaks. They just turned out to be mostly true and softened the backlash of features getting cut while driving hype for its Battle Royale mode. Its marketing 99% of the time. South Park does an episode on a similar premise; that being that all government conspiracies are a government conspiracy. I just hope that if the rumors are true the story and gameplay branches physically. Like one game goes to Kanto and the other goes to Johto. That would make me want to buy both.

Re: Hackers Have Found A Way To Exploit The Switch, And It's Apparently 'Unpatchable'

betterthanvegas

I hack my systems for 3 reasons;
1) to backup and restore save files. why this isn't a feature in 2018 for gaming hardware baffles me to no end
2) custom themes. nothing against the 3ds but only japan gets the really good themes and i can make ones that are really personal to me. I have Gundam, Samus, Pidgeot, and Digimon themes. all with custom sounds and proper background music.
3) I'll be completely honest here, cheating. In single player games only. The only time it is acceptable to cheat in an online game is when you make it fun for everyone. Those people are few and far between. I miss old school cheats like big head mode or moon gravity. Stuff that can make a game zany. Achievements are utterly useless and I'd like the result of doing something in the game to reward me in a satisfying manner, not "Here's 5 points." And, since I'm being honest, infinite gold or upgrade points can be fun once in a while too.

Anyway, that's why I homebrew. I don't agree with pirating. Although, I wish I could paypal developers some money directly so I could download an old game iso and not feel guilty. Cause certain games aren't going to get a rerelease ever and cost WAY too much to buy again physically.

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Switch Learned A Lot From Wii U’s Struggles During Its Own First Year

betterthanvegas

What about the fact that the Wii U had like 17, 18 third party games on launch day? Some of which were great upgrades (Batman, Ninja Gaiden 3) and others were new games (CoD Black Ops 2, Darksiders 2).

The problem with some of these were the price. Why would I pay $60 for Mass Effect 3 when I could get the whole trilogy for the same price? I think this is a huge problem Nintendo faced and still faces now. Not only that, the developers themselves seemed to sabotage their support this way. Oh, our game didn't sell well on the new system so we shouldn't support it anymore. Maybe if the price difference wasn't double or more sales would have improved on the new system. I'm looking at you Deus Ex.

I just don't want the "New Nintendo System So Let's Gouge The Price" excuse to ruin sales and chances for more games to get ported.

Re: Takara Tomy Is Building A New Zoids Game For Switch

betterthanvegas

Zoids is one of my favorite sleeper franchises from my childhood. I remember waking up 6 in the morning to watch the episodes each day. I have all the games that came stateside. Most are RPGs while Battle Legends is a 3D arena game. Hope this comes stateside. Or I can learn Japanese.

Re: Editorial: Losing It All - When a Wii U's External Hard Drive Dies

betterthanvegas

I use home brew to back up ALL my save data on all my systems. I've lost several memory cards and games before so now I'm paranoid about it. Just this year I lost my Pokemon Omega Ruby save data after getting Mew. Had a backup thanks to Ninjhax. Reloaded it and everything's fine again. One of the 3 things I use homebrew for. The others being customization options (have really cool Digimon and Gundam custom themes for my 3ds) and the other is cheat codes for when I've beaten a game, so if I ever want to play it again I can just enjoy it.

Re: Fans Create Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Patch Which Uncensors Western Censorship

betterthanvegas

I'm just here to marvel at modders' ingenuity and skills. Next thing I know are things go crazy. And, as someone who does know a little bit about Idols and such, Chapter 2 here seems kind of out of place. Someone made a really good point about Disney stars who would shoot for something like playboy and how crazy that would seem here. Look at Lindsay Lohan. Granted she had gone completely bonkers by that time.
