I’ve been playing BG3. Im still in the beginning. I rolled a sorcerer. Some foppishly dressed guy poked my eye out, I was bitten by a fabulous vampire, I killed a drow by dropping them in a ravine, I made friends with mushroom people when I brought them another drow’s head, and I wish Lae’zel and Shadowheart would stop making barbed comments at each other and just go fuck.
When I don’t have time to get involved with BG3, I play a little game called “Noita” which is a little game with a little wizard and his magic wands, and the point of the game seeems to be “How far can you get before you set yourself on fire”
I’m currently on my 2nd playthrough looking for all the records. Lies of P is pretty darn good and it’s the only non-fromsoftware souls like I enjoyed, and I’ve played a lot. The bosses in particular are really great and most of them are memorable.
I’m a bit bummed at what you have to do to get the real ending, I feel like it’s kind of a betrayal of Pinocchio’s main theme, but I understand what they were going for.
I’m pretty hopeful for Lords of the Fallen but from the previews I’ve seen it’s a little… Clunky. I hope it plays better than it looks.
And frankly I’m amazed with how good it is. I never thought this would be “my type of game”, and it’s not like I’m “wanna play this for 8h a day” addicted, in fact I get my fill after an hour or 2, but it’s just great. Like really great, so far 9 out of 10 for me.
I don’t understand the obsession with super difficult games. I can get plenty good at them. But I don’t enjoy getting angry at videogames when I die 14 times fighting a boss.
I’d love to play Lies of P, but no difficulty level means I’m not playing it. I tried Elden Ring as well, and Bloodborne. These kind of games just aren’t for me.
The trick is learning not to be angry. It usually takes a while to beat a boss, but from then on it’s suddenly easy (especially on replays), and that feels really, really good.
Definitely not! I used to get pretty angry too, though weirdly Rocket League fixed that for me. It turned my anger at the loss into anger at the pressure of performing in a multiplayer game, which isn’t a factor in Elden Ring.
Me too. Would love to play all those, but my tries were just frustrating. And it’s not just difficult enemies. But that artificially inflated difficulty like all enemies reset when i fail.
There’s motivation to beat a tough enemy, and then there’s motivation to beat 30 enemies again for 30mins just because i made a tiny mistake.
Maybe it’s a generational thing. I grew up with very difficult games, i just grew out of it. Newer generations only had these honey-drenched easypeasygames the industry came up with. There really is a hard challenge to beat anymore. Then came fromsoft and reminded me of how nasty games were 😂
I felt the same way when Dark Souls (and subsequent sequels) came out. Sekiro was the first game I had ever refunded on Steam when I rage quit it after couldn’t get through the tutorial level. I’ve since tried it again and made it to Genichiro but couldn’t beat him as it doesn’t let you grind to level up. It’s truly a game where you have to “git gud” and I’m simply not that good at parrying.
Honestly the only reason I gave Bloodborne a try was because I saw someone else play who was a much worse gamer than I was, it was included on PS+, and I thought the world seemed really interesting. I absolutely do not think this genre is for everyone but when you can beat a boss, the rush is intense and addictive.
I really wanna try lies of p I just can’t afford it I’ll probably wait till Christmas sale although I did mange to buy mafia 2 definitive edition on gog sale so I’m not missing out when it comes to games
Contact Nintendo? I haven’t checked mine, and I have an OG Switch as well (I believe). It would surprise me if you get more traction here than contacting Nintendo.
This does have me wondering what the warranty terms are concerning updates like this.
I updated to 17.0.0 just fine. So either you have run out of battery or perhaps it bricked because it had very low power when you updated it. These are just guesses and certainly nowhere near helping with a solution.
Can you share more about the symptoms? You say “it does not get past the Nintendo logo.” Do you mean the “Switch” logo? What’s it do when it gets to the Nintendo logo? Hang on the logo forever? Does the screen go black after a second or three? If the latter, after the screen goes off, does the power button repeat the performance, or do you have to hold it down for a while (to shut it down), let go for a sec, and hold it down again to make it boot up again before it responds?
You can of course send it to Nintendo to get it fixed. That’s probably your best bet.
But if you can’t or don’t want to go that direction, you might be able to resurrect your system with homebrew/hacking. That’d require getting set up to hack your Switch, though. And might void your warranty.
First thing I’d try if you want to go that direction is to just run Hekate (a fancy homebrew bootloader for the Switch) and boot into Atmosphere via that. No need to set up EmuMMC just for that test, but there is some risk of getting banned from the eshop and online play if you make any changes to your Switch (like installing pirated games, for instance) and then connect to the internet.
It’s possible something went wrong with the efuses on your system and your Switch isn’t starting because it thinks you’ve hacked it and manually downgraded the OS even though you didn’t. I believe Hekate and Atmosphere would let you boot into your Switch’s OS in a way that would make your Switch ignore any efuse discrepancies. Might get you past the issue you’re having.
But again, there are some risks with this approach and if you’re wanting to get it fixed by Nintendo, I’d say probably your best bet is just to send it to Nintendo.
Yeah, Atmosphere might be a way forward if you wanted to go that direction. (Assuming a) the issue is an efuse issue and b) you have the right version of the Switch. You can check if you do by checking your serial number against the list here.)
Only other suggestion I’d have is to get in touch with Nintendo.
Do you use the official Nintendo dock and power supply? I know there were some issues a few years ago with third party accessories bricking consoles and firmware updates can cause that sort of thing to resurface
Yeah they burned me a few times in the past by acquiring games/studios and breaking their Linux compatibility immediately after getting them. I’ll hold this grudge for decades.
I’ve enjoyed a few of them with my young kids The Lego one was fun, Dodo Peak is another nice introduction puzzle game, and Beyond Blue is educational and beautiful.
There are quite a few more that I might check out at some point. I slightly regret not jumping on the free games bandwagon earlier since I missed some great ones, but I have enough of a games library across many platforms that I never need to buy another game for the rest of my life and I won’t beat them all, so whatever.
