You didn’t just look at an image of (9, not 10 games….) and just assume that’s the entire compliment did you?

Mr_Dr_Oink, (edited )

No! Its a joke. N64 has been on switch for 4 years. In that time they have released about 10 games anyone would actually play. The rest are pretty much trash. Tell me you have even opened “operation winback”

If they spent as much time porting games to NSO as they do to crushing emulators then i would feel like the money im spending for NSO was more worth it.

Where is duke nukem 64? Where is conkers bad fur day? Where is rampage world tour, clay fighter 63 1/3, diddy kong racing, star wars shadows of the empire or rogue squadron, donkey kong 64, mystical ninja, doom 64?

There was a huge pool to pull from. It just seems a bit lacking for 4 years when i can get an emulator and a rom pack and play with custom mapped controls at higher fps on any device i own.

They could make that happen. And i would pay for it.

Kvoth,

I don’t disagree with your overall point about Nintendo crushing emulators, but I count at least 20 solid games on that list

Mr_Dr_Oink,

You’re not wrong. There’s a good amount of great games on that list.

The problem is that these are straight ports, bugs, and all.

The worst part is the janky controls.

On goldeneye, perfect dark and jetforce gemini you have to remap the controls on the switch settings and select a different control configuration in game to make them playable and even then the sticks are way too sensitive with no calibration options.

They release goldeneye on xbox 360 and fixed alot if not all of these issues and upscaled and widescreened everything, and it was a much better experience.

Some games play well, mario and banjoe kazooie are good. Not had any problems with waverace.

Lylat wars is a bit messy.

Pokemon stadium is fine, but less fun without the game boy attachment to transfer pokemon to use in battle.

Paper mario is great.

But this is just the 64. Then theres the snes, nes gameboy, advance and genesis. Each with a plethora of games I’ve never heard of, despite these being the consoles i had as a child.

I just think this wasn’t what they sold to us when it was announced, and it shouldn’t take 3 months to release a new title that no one has ever heard of.

myrrh,

…is there a good version of pilotwings64 available anywhere other than native hardware?..

Snoopey,

Does BAR have infinite zoom and the strategic view? I love that stuff so much from supreme commander, my favourite RTS ever

Yes. Blade of grass to orbit.

It’s unfortunate how rare good sportsmanship is in online multiplayer games.

Ranked is for being a try hard and coordinating with a decent amount of game knowledge. People are gonna get heated and toxic, you’re playing with humans.

Just play unranked with comms off when you just wanna chill??

The issue comes from the fact that any games with a ranked mode also have a perpetually fucked casual mode. They stopped doing anything with ‘skill based matchmaking’ and just lump you in with whoever is available. So you’ve got ranked players who are toxic as hell who go into casual to test things or just be dicks in the exact same lobby as people who are just wanting to vibe and play the game after a long day of work.

I’ve completely given up on any games that have any ranked modes in them at all because this shit always fucking happens. Casual gaming is being consistently abandoned by game developers for competetive modes. Locking out anyone who just wants to relax and play a game. Like I used this example elsewhere, but I have others. This just comes to mind to me because it bugs me. Yugioh Master Duel. You will NEVER find a casual game there. Everything is meta’d to hell. Why? Because ranked players use casual to test their stuff. Casual players then have to start acting like ranked players in order to even play. So if someone comes in and wants to play a casual game, you are going to get instantly cheesed by broken ranked decks.

It just happens constantly across everything. Ranked mode is introduced and it pushes all the casual players out and leaves hostile competetive bullshit.

tabularasa,

This sums up Rocket League pretty well.

Halosheep,

I thought that most people claim not to like skill based matchmaking in casual because the players who are like top 10% but not top 1% have to always try harder even in casual mode.

In Halo they’ve given up on moderating unranked. Unranked is where ranked people to to “practice” now, you can see their shitty clans running around and 360 no scoping all of us just trying to chill. Inevitably every game is crazy one sided, they high five and move on, and we get swamped 50-13

Then… Don’t play ranked?

Ranked is specifically for the competitive crowd. If you’re just playing for fun, stick to the casual/quickplay mode. 🤦‍♂️

If you’re getting this shit in casual mode, just point out to the dude whining about his team that they should go play ranked instead of expecting people to give a single fuck about winning in casual.

I’m still salty that Smash Bros Ultimate removed the for glory/fun distinction that they had in WiiU/3DS, and moved everything outside of lobbies to ranked.

Some games are just shitty like that 😔

Reasons I love PVE more than PVP. There are still try hards, but fewer and PVE games generally have a different vibe.

Part of why I like Helldivers is that there’s some element of shenanigans baked in.

That and the community is usually pretty solid. It is exceedingly rare for me to end up diving with someone who is a douchebag or not a team player. Everyone just wants to help everyone else and spread managed democracy. I tend to get on the mic and roleplay it up to help out for extra energy lol I’m the dude pulling Starship Trooper quotes out of his ass

Souyo,

I hate to say it but sometimes I get a lvl 150 on my team (I’m 120) or I join 150 person they take it so seriously like it’s their day job. They get killed by something once by you it’s “I better not die again or I will kick you”. You ran in front of my line of fire, what?! Other than that great times all around!

RedditRefugee69,

Sounds like fun but rootkit anti cheat is too much for me.

SkyezOpen,

I love how they just buffed the hell out of everything a few months ago so almost every weapon and strategem is viable for everything.
