Oh my, the snark monster is loose this morning! Lol

My love for Dragon Quest is even greater than my love for Zelda.

What good is a Switch (either 1 or 2) case
if there's no room for a charger?

I've never understood the desire to watch unbox-ing videos. If i can afford the item, I'll do my own unbox-ing. If I can't, like right now with the Switch 2, why torture myself for someone else's humble brag? I just don't get it.

Not for all of us. I cannot yet justify the cost of the new system and all the peripherals. Definitely not worth the sale of a kidney.

@johnedwin
Have you played it on the Switch or going by what others have said? It's playing fine on mine.

@sanderev
Everything you said is subjective not factual.

The game runs fine on my Switch. Load times are very good. The look of the game is fine imo. I'd heard horror tales of it giving people motion sickness, which I am very prone to. I've had no problems at all. But, again, it's all subjective.

It's fun if you like this sort of game, which I do. How is it worse than the 3DS game?

@Gorlock

I cannot play any first person games at all. I used to try watching my kids play Mario Kart and would get so nauseous I'd have to leave the room.

I watched a video by (I think) a Miss Bubbles who said the Switch version was horrible for triggering motion sickness, went on and on about it. I understand that it's going to be different for each individual, but her review had me worried as I can't afford to buy pricey games and not be able to play them.

I downloaded the game y'day. I played a couple hours last nite and am thankfully having no problems. I am careful about not having the camera set too fast and not swinging it around as that can trigger it.

Thanks for your input.

@RubyCarbuncle
I appreciate that you brought it up as I knew nothing about it and the possible risks, so thanks.

@RubyCarbuncle
I didn't understand anything you wrote. Can you please explain?

EDIT: never mind. I googled it and it sounds scary.

@MiltonHolmes
I've seen some reviewers saying the fuzziness is causing motion sickness in players prone to that, which I am. I'd even noticed it a bit just watching Switch players on YouTube. Before I'd heard about it.

Have you noticed anything like that? If so, I'll probably get it on Steam.

The original was my fave game on 3DS. As another player who doesn't care about multi player, I'm fine with this. I think I'll probably get it on Steam since I won't be getting a Switch 2 anytime soon.

@SteveDaSteve
Another cynic after my own heart, lol.

@cedarhyped
Yeah I get that. I just cannot look at the art style. Maybe it's because I'm a portrait artist. I really find the characters offensively fugly. But we all don't have to like the same things: different strokes and all that.

Not me. I have always detested the art style of Miis. Cringe worthy and just fugly. I know it's going to be an unpopular opinion, but that's how I feel. Nintendo tried to shove them down our throats, but they make me choke.

@NTELLIGENTMAN It's about time you stopped.

Yeah, I get it. A couple days ago a guy from NYSEG was checking something in my apartment. He went to leave then spied my Switch and asked who played it. You'd have been proud of me as I just told him I played it. Oh, he goes. What sort of games do you play, he asked innocently. I told him well y'know: the usual...Zelda, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, stuff like that.

He then got this amazed look on his face and said, incredulously: you play Zelda games?

I hustled him out the door before I could no longer control the urge to do bodily harm. I can't believe there are still prehistoric modes of thinking about gamers.

@rjejr
Try as I might, I can't argue with any of your logic. And compared to the last 2 weeks, that outcome looks pretty dope.

@rjejr OMG! Don't give him any more ideas! He'll let Musk redesign the console so it looks like a POS Cybertruck.

@rjejr

Interesting. That's not a game I'd immediately pair with you. Hopefully it comes to Switch 2. Especially with your not having spend money.

@rjejr
I fear you are over-thinking it, friend. Lol, that's my job. Hope you and yours are well.

@OorWullie Yeah, I'm absolutely lusting over that one!

@Nancyboy
Thank you!

Can this be played docked with the pro controller? How??

@nessisonett I'm a Yank and I take umbrage to the word heck, also. No one over the age of 8 uses it. Anyone over that age uses WTF.

@prw_88
There were a million who did not survive Trump's first four years.

@Ooyah
Yeah, I saw that and thought I'd deleted my post. Screwed that up too, it seems, lol. Thanks.

Maybe I missed it, but how short is the game?

It's sad that a statement like this even has to be made. I weep for the future.

I'm having trouble with the reality that we 're not the country I thought we were. It hurts. There's the pain we're all going to suffer from stupid decisions, ie tariffs, that could have been avoided. The inmates are truly going to be running the asylum.

You're right: we can only do what we can do. I'm a news junkie, but for a few days, am avoiding it. I have taken some of the frustration out on my apartment and done a deep clean, lol. Thank you for your sensible words. And, again, you are right: we're not alone.

Nintendo is 3 and 0 with me right now as far as things I don't care about: the museum, the alarm clock and now this. I'm sure it's great for those who DO care, but for many of us it's just Ninty being their infuriatingly coy selves.

I'm to the point where I'm sick of all the parsing of every word they put out. I'm sick of all the leaks, rumors and speculation. When Switch 2 releases, it releases. Til then, I'm burned out and don't care.

I'm super depressed since Tuesday here in the States this week, so I'm trying to chill playing SDV update. It helps a bit.

I've tried getting into Stardew a few times but it just never clicked with me. I'n trying again with this update and am enjoying it more. My main problem seems to be the number of characters and how to find them. And the thought of gift giving is a bit intimidating.

But I'm taking it slower than I usually do and trying to just enjoy the journey.

I got it digitally at launch and have really enjoyed the game. I can see replaying it trying different solutions to the puzzles.

@TotalHenshin
I don't think many/most parents are ignorant of gaming news. My kids always had the latest and greatest gaming stuff because I'm a gamer. It was my love for gaming that got them involved. We're the ones who have supported gaming.

Why do people think happens when gamers become parents?

Anyone know what time the update releases?

Fours years later and we still haven't gotten TP and/or WW. But we got a $100 alarm clock. And the music app, which I downloaded but will probably use sparingly. I so envy Felix who seems genuinely excited for anything and everything that Nintendo puts out.

I'm a wee bit tired of Nintendo's coy-ness. Why the mention of Switch 2 then months of silence? Except to announce there will be no announcement. It's their choice, of course, but I don't care any more. Too many you tubers have made it their main money maker with the speculation videos. If someone at Ninty farts there will be hours of videos explaining what they think it means based on the tonal qualities and duration.

It's gonna happen when it happens. Nothing I nor anyone else do will alter that. But, and this is just for me, Nintendo has gone from quirky to smug to meh with their grand announcements.

For the price it should make you breakfast after waking you up. At least coffee.

@Blimpy
This American recognises you. But, I love my Penguins hockey and sincerely thank you for Crosby and Tanger amongst others.

Plus, your national anthem is prettier and more sing-able than ours.

@GravyThief
Its what I've always loved about DQ games:

"Hi! Welcome to my home!"

"Thanks, now get out of my way so I can rummage thru your wardrobe to steal your clothes and break all your crockery and steal your meager savings. Bye now."

@poudigne
Old enough to not have to rely on insults with a stranger when I don't agree with them.

@Not_Soos
You seem like a person with a good heart. But I'm afraid you are naive.

@poudigne
Untwist your knickers. I've probably been gaming longer than you've been alive. And I don't play Pokemon.

You want everyone to join your crusade, even those of us who don't have the problem. It doesn't work like that. When I have a problem, I address it. If I don't, then why should I lie for the likes of you?

@NintendoWife
As I've mentioned in other threads, I only play docked. So it's obviously not a 'docked' problem for me.

@poudigne
So those of us who don't have a problem should lie about it.

Brilliant idea. Top notch.

@poudigne
People shouldn't vote 'borderline unplayable' if it isn't for them. That's disingenuous.

I'm playing digital on a docked Switch. Honestly, it's been fine.

@GrailUK
Yeah, I find him quite irritating. He should stick to his drinking games and stop with repeating the same old same old.

Screaming into the mic doesn't make what he has to say new info.

I don't know. My eyes are sensitive to clipping. It gives me a raging headache. I got headaches playing PS1 games. Can't play games or watch videos where the camera swings around wildly.

I'm playing the digital version of LoZ: EoW and it's a lot of fun. Great game. I honestly haven't had any instances of frame rate troubles. I can understand people's eyes reacting differently, but unplayable? Nope.

@johnedwin
I've read it's 18-24 hours with side quests.

The game has been downloaded and tormenting me for days. But, being an elder stateswoman, I can play all I want. Main down side is the days I could stay up til midnite and play are long gone. Well, age and the hydrocodone I'm on for a wonky knee.

But it's gonna be a fun tmorrow!

There are already a number of videos on YouTube bemoaning the fact there are Hobbits of color and screaming "DEI" and "Woke!", saying how they are destroying Tolkien's legacy.

It's enough to make one lose any hope for the future.
