I may have missed it, but Dave the Diver deserves a mention here.

Boss battles are very rare, and slow paced enough that I have not run into the dreaded “I understand the pattern but I lack the dexterity”. (I often have this problem with other games.)

chronicledmonocle,

I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.

The dualshock 4 & 5 have built in bluetooth if you have one of those avaliable.

Farming Simulator

I really like the Ys games, and I think Y’s Origin meets those requirements. The boss fights are difficult, but no crazy difficulty spikes, provided you’ve been killing things properly along the way. I only had to grind for a few min for one boss, and that’s back because I actively avoided the mobs and ended up underleveled.

Zelda games tend to also be really well designed, pretty much any will do.

Dark Souls (any) and Bloodborne.

The others don’t pass muster because they do have some insane difficulty spikes. These don’t, really. Smough & Ornstein is really the only spike I can think of in the entire DS series and BB actually felt pretty even through the whole game.

Grinding isn’t necessary and there is essentially zero fluff in all of them, tho.

If you liked Life is Strange, I strongly recommend Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Made by the same team.

Me and my friend got to the mines and i said “It’s just Gnomes, how bad can they be?”. Turns out my friend wasn’t exaggerating

This is why I sometimes enjoy Ubisoft trash. Especially Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint. Just the same old shit on a massive map, an okay story, fun gameplay. Easy. Simple. Nice for mindless bullshit.

For an RPG, try Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning.

mic_check_one_two,

Yeah, Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry are great “no difficulty curve” games. Just the same shit on a massive map.

This is probably not to place to ask about getting a Nintendo console. Most people here are hardcore pc. (which is fine, but definitely biased).

My personal recommendation is this:

Do you want to play new Nintendo games? Get a switch 2.

Want to older Nintendo games and multiplats? Get a steamdeck.

Get a steamdeck and wait for the emulator.

iAmTheTot,

I love my steamdeck but I would not exactly recommend it to someone asking for a family gaming console.

Carmakazi, do games w Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...

I haven’t powered on my switch in years, but when I used it, 99% of the time it was docked with a TV, so the battery life and screen didn’t matter to me. I would think that’s the best setup for family gaming anyway.

The cartridge/download code is a step down in ownership of your games, but that’s been a lost battle for years. Steam is widely seen as the standard for gaming, and you are only buying a conditional license when you buy a game on that platform, you don’t own those either. This change only really matters if you, personally, rip games from disks/cartridges.

Dragon Age, the first one.

Maestro,

Yes, Origins is by far my favourite of the series

Tattorack, do gaming w Did you even try?
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a lot of effort put into getting a console with little value. Maybe wait till after it’s hacked in… Oh… Like three years or something.

@frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world avatar

Yeah imma wait until Ryujinx 2 comes out lol

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Probably won’t ever get a Ryujinx 2. I’d keep an eye out on Torzu.

However, the system will have to be hacked and decrypted first, but as of right now no real vulnerability has been discovered.

Robust_Mirror,

I mean the easiest switch to hack is the release day switch. And this is a pretty common pattern across all consoles including playstation and xbox. Generally the earlier hardware+earlier firmware will give you the best chance.

Tattorack, (edited )
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, that’s why some over at GBATemp aren’t updating their switch and poking at it. But it’ll still take a while, and “while” is measured in years usually.

There’s a good chance that those with banned switches will be more motivated to find vulnerabilities in the system. Or give their banned switches to those that like finding vulnerabilities.

Also, just because some vulnerabilities are found, doesn’t mean that piracy is a guarantee; there was some drama with the 3DS, and then later with the Switch 1, with the people who found vulnerabilities and built hacks not wanting their work to be used for piracy. Piracy only started becoming a thing, then, when other parties replicated (or surpassed) the original hacks and made it available for piracy. This caused some of the hackers to to leave (I think one of them was RXTools. Luma3D far surpassed RXTools).

Robust_Mirror,

My point is, usually the launch model has the most value, often costing a premium even in the second hand market.

Vince, do gaming w Did you even try?

Haven’t checked since launch, is it still hard to find?

beben_egg,

Just picked one up from gamestop, and it was the only one available from any store within the last two weeks in a 50 mile radius.

Vince,

Sounds like I’ll still be waiting then, thanks.

FinalRemix,

The systems weren’t hard to find on day 1. The overpriced accessories were all sold out, though.
