I'm a big fan of the big band music in MK8 (might even call it the best video game soundtrack ever) but I should give this a listen to see where the series evolved from
@obijuankanoobie I have both of those as well, same thing happened to me. Guess i need to get back on it so i can be ready for the launch of the dlc haha
I'd love to still play this game but I lost motivation when i tried to reshell my switch lite a couple years ago and broke the screen ribbon connector. Managed to save my pokemon saves blindly but haven't tried recovering my island or starting a new one. Maybe a project to try starting this afternoon?
@Ralizah overclocking and forcing "docked" output with homebrew could allow for 1080p in handheld, especially since switch lite and oled chips are more powerful than og, just limited in software (because Nintendo)
My source, though, is old and unknown so i could be wrong
@Daniel36 I know you've heard from some people already, but this is a game that's pretty easy to drop in/out of and enjoy casually. (I play on PC, not switch though)
It's an absolutely beautiful game and mainly focuses on collecting resources to upgrade your spaceship and harvesting tool. One of my favorite parts is the starship combat, very simple but makes you feel really cool lol.
I can't speak on how the switch port fares, but I do think it's missing multiplayer and settlement construction due to the weak hardware
Why is it so hard for gaming companies to release their soundtracks on Spotify/Apple for streaming? I don't want to spend 60$ on every game's soundtrack and rip the cd...
Idc what team cherry says, the whole April 2nd thing is way too convincing. I'm thinking they broke a direct nda and they had to cover it up, but it will be there fs.
@Dev1024 To be honest, while Nintendo is known for gimmicky consoles, is there anything we actually need past an improved switch?
You're welcome to disagree, but it seems silly to have a major shakeup like that when they struck gold with the original switch. The fact that it sold 150m units probably that they aren't too interested in branching out anyway.
If they were to make a new gimmick, hypothetically, what would you like to see? Personally, I loved the 3ds/wii u dual screens and would be cool to have that back
Didn’t play my switch as much as my PC this year (‘only’ 200 hours on switch) but, while it didn’t show up on my review, Hollow Knight also clicked for me at the end of November and I have played SO MUCH of it. Just got what I think is the true ending and can’t recommend it enough.
But… my most played game is Overwatch with 49 hours. Oops!
Just finishing up Hollow Knight (I'm around 90% right now on my completion) and was looking at this to fill the hole in my time that will open up when I finish it, so I may very well end up buying this. If this isn't overpriced (like a lot of physical indies are, understandably) I'll probably go for it.
I think (Nintendo's "private idaho" aside) that consoles will continue to exist simply because they are cheaper, more convenient, and more secure than PCs. Even though exclusives are nearly a lost art (thankfully), these factors just make a console a much more reasonable purchase in a lot of situations.
Personally, I love my PC and Switch and will probably never own a 'real' console lol
Enjoying the new season so far (on PC, switch is not a super pleasant experience for this game lol). Visually, it looks super pleasing, though the high damage and speed of weapons means fights will end in a blink. As someone who constantly does this to no emote signs, i’m glad i saw the articles before actually doing it here.
Downloaded it when they announced the shutdown but I don’t think I like it enough to buy the complete version. But this is how you shut down a mobile game.
Pokemon Duel should have taken notes!!! (Not that I’m salty or anything)
Level 42 player While it is certainly a unique way to collect data for their AI (which I have no problem with this collection system, people know they are taking pictures for Niantic to ‘improve their services’), the rewards for scan quests are super bad. Like, 10 pokeballs or some potions. Not worth all the trouble of taking pictures for niantic. I have a scan quest in my inventory that I got in march of last year during a trip and kept it because it looks cool and don’t have to worry about getting any more scan quests lol
Looking forward to it. Then again, I should beat the remaster. Got stuck in some pirate area that is apparently one of the hardest parts in the game and kinda just gave up.
But let’s be real, there’s no chance this beats gta6 at the game awards, some people have been waiting far too long for that to happen
