Bilbo, do games w Switch 2 leaks claim console runs “like a PS5”, FF7R to be launch title & more - Dexerto

Only thing I care about is that they keep the split controller design. It’s the only controller I can easily use while walking on a treadmill. Holding a controller with two hands while walking is awkward. The split controller allows me to swing my arms normally.

Gotta admit, if they pull something like that off and FF7R runs that smoothly on it, chances are high I’m going to get one if the weight isn’t too hefty. If it’s less than what a Steam Deck weighs (a Steam Deck is slightly too heavy for my weak fingers to manage), I’m sold.

That would be the famously torso-sized PS5, right?

I’m good, but thanks.

Too little too late. Especially for a game that went from 6 million active users to to 30k in a month.

ReadyUser31,

BG3 came out and RPG fans across the world realised what an RPG was actually meant to be. D4 is so, so shallow, it honestly did not hold my interest through the first season.

The base game content is barely interesting enough to play through, let alone playing through again from scratch with only the four quests they added to spice it up again. Drab.

Waker, do games w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game

Honestly, having know this I wouldn’t have bought D4 in the first place.

It was expensive as fuck for a game that I played a week at most, and got boring. Not saying the game isn’t great on some aspects. The story and graphics are amazing but… other than that it’s not that interesting late game.

Spending 60€+ on a game that has battle passes and an ingame shop on top of it, for them to add one expansion a year after, yearly? Wtf

It’s true what they say. Blizzard has gotten greed af.

This has probably been the last game I will ever buy from them. There are already Diablo 4 private servers, I think I’ll just wait until those catch up with those expansions…

(reposting from the D4 community since this community is larger and likely will have more discussion here)

pulaskiwasright,

To me, the late game is boring because it’s not as tactical as previous Diablo games. The view is so zoomed in and the enemies are so fast, numerous, and squishy that you basically just have to chew though the closest enemies. It’s not tactical or challenging. It’s either too easy or too hard and your skill doesn’t matter at all. I beat it once and don’t feel the urge to play it again.

Waker, (edited )

I never thought about the camera but that could be one of the things that bothers me, now that I think about it…

I thought that with season 1 I’d be more hyped to play it, but it seemed so shite I couldn’t bring myself to playing it… And now, knowing that there’ll be expansions yearly, I don’t think I’ll ever bother lol.

pulaskiwasright,

That was my experience too. I tried to play seasonal content and quit after level 5.

GBU_28,

Why’d you buy it so quick? It’s not a ride the wave game where you need full lobbies, it’s an arpg that should be durable and accessable for years to come.

Waker,

You’re right. I didn’t even buy it pre order because I hate doing that and never will. So, after the game was launched, I watched some streams, the game seemed fun and no really big complaints anywhere. A couple of friends also bought the game, and told me it was fun.

And, to be honest, they weren’t wrong. The game WAS fun… Until you end the story and it’s just boring.

I played on both betas too and did enjoy the gameplay and such. Couldn’t wait for more of the story…

So that’s how I ended up buying it 1week or so after release.

Blizzard has gotten greed af

The Blizzard of old doesn’t exist anymore, it’s just a shell.

Waker,

Yep… I just loved Diablo too much but I guess this was the last time…

I am curious how this acquisition from Microsoft will go though. I don’t think it can get worse so maybe it’ll get slightly better.

I doubt consolidating games companies under a bigger monopoly will be a net positive in the long run.

I played the demo and had a decently fun time with it. I probably would have bought it if it was like $50-$60. Of course it releases at $80 for the base version and no price drop since. Then comes the talk of the grindiness, now this. Just a bad deal all around.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

It was good at release, but it’s been mediocre at best, garbage at worst, since.

Astroturfed,

The $80 pricetage made me not even consider it. Especially when you know they’re going to milk as much cash out of you as they can for expansions/DLC or anything else.

GrayBackgroundMusic, do games w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game

I don’t want annual expansions. I want good ones, no matter how long they take. Stop rushing shit. I miss “soon ™” Blizzard.

ryathal,

Those people left the company. Frostgiant studios is made of most the leads from blizzard that made starcraft and warcraft.

Astroturfed,

All the blizzard leadership cut out and have started a few new studios with games in the works. Don’t expect anything but highly monetized low effort money printer sequel game from Blizzard anymore. Stop buying their shit.

This is the first Diablo game that I’ve uninstalled within a year of getting it. The fact that it’s only been a couple months and it got worse not better makes this worse. It’s a seriously flawed game, and expansions won’t help it.

@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

I had to replace my original sticks this year because they finally started to drift after five years or so.

I now have some Hall Effect sticks in each side, and I haven’t had any problems in the last six months with them. I really hope they go this route for the switch 2. It makes a lot of sense for them to, as well. They wouldn’t have to deal with fixing as many, and consumers would get a better product. Could be a rare win for both parties when I’m sure there’s some bean counters going “but if the controllers break more often we can sell more controllers!”

Hopefully a class-action wipes off all profits gained from that way of thinking.

Viking_Hippie,

Unfortunately not. Planned obsolescence fuckery is the norm now, not the exception.

At least one class-action going ahead so far.

Viking_Hippie,

Yeah, but that’s in Canada. Unlike the US, they don’t let companies get away with LITERALLY everything yet. Good on them for staying sane on top of the asylum though…

morphballganon,

What is Hall Effect?

sleep_deprived,

It’s a way to detect which way the stick is pointing using magnets. It’s way more accurate and incredibly reliable.

9point6,

Also because the moving parts don’t actually make contact with the sensors, the wear issues that affect joycons basically don’t exist

Engywuck, (edited )

HI! My son just received a Nintendo Switch for Xmas. Would you mint telling me more about those Hall Effect stick i.e., brand/model? It’d be interesting to know hot to get them “just in case”. Thanks a lot in advance!

@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

Hello! I just remembered your message.

Here’s an article about the ones I bought (though I bought them through another site besides Amazon because I’m not an Amazon fan.

Anyway, the process is pretty easy, though there are some smallish cables to be careful about.

polygon.com/…/nintendo-switch-joy-con-drift-gulik…

Engywuck,

Hey, thanks a lot. I’m not an Amazon fan as well, so I’d buy them elsewhere when/if needed.

Fucking finally. Still have to see if they actually go through with it.

kiranraine,

Seriously…idk why they are so…obtuse to fixing shiz sometimes. Granted we are talking about the same company that won’t embrace fan work the same as Sega so they’re kinda backwards imo. Esp since that stuff usually isn’t making money or is free promo for the real shiz Ala streaming and reviews. They’re not very smart imo on a lot of things and seem to punish fans for having fun with shiz too much…

Nintendo is absolutely one of those companies that has been breathing its own farts for too long.

A part of me is worried that they will patent this, and then just sit on the tech forever, and kill hall-effect joysticks for good.

kiranraine,

I mean I doubt it. Hall effects have been on the market for ages(notably the dreamcast as a few other comments reminded me). They can’t possibly stop hall effects and mods that allow them at this point XD

WarmSoda,

The title of this post and article literally say they patented it.

vonbaronhans,

You can patent a specific implementation of a technology, but not usually the principles behind that tech. Nintendo had patented this, too, but that likely has little to no effect on other hall effect joystick manufacturers.

whileloop, do games w New Nintendo patent suggests Switch 2 may solve joycon drift
@whileloop@lemmy.world avatar

Two things I notice

would eliminate stick drift almost entirely

I thought Hall effect sensors didn’t drift at all?

Second, I’m wondering what exactly Nintendo is patenting here, since Hall effect sensors are nothing new.

Paradox,
@Paradox@lemdro.id avatar

They don’t get sensor drift, but if the mechanical centering of the stick is sub par, you can get mechanical drift. The N64 is a good example. Flawless sensors, shitty mechanical construction

gamer, do games w New Nintendo patent suggests Switch 2 may solve joycon drift

I’ll believe it when I see it. Nintendo are cheap bastards, and if they fix the drift issue then they’ll likely cause it to fail prematurely somewhere else. Maybe the rubber will be cheaper so that it wears down and has to be replaced anyways? Or the plastic will be thinner so it cracks sooner, etc.

echo64,

Also if they wanted to fix it for their next console, then they could have fixed it for this console. Hall effect isn’t some new technology, the dreamcast controller had it.

generalpotato,

I’m betting on sticky buttons or triggers.

Nintendo deserves class action here tbh.

Sniper,

there was a class action lawsuit about this… all it resulted in was nintendo having to provide free repairs to joycons… that eventually will start drifting again
