I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person

Stop. Don’t buy anything yet.

What do you mean “one portable”? Do you mean a non-OLED Switch? Do you mean a Switch Lite? Do you mean a pair of Joy-Cons? Do you mean a single Joy-Con?

My family has 3 Switches. I bought a launch system, my wife bought another of that type, gave it to our kid, then bought an OLED for herself.

So, you don’t need more Switches than the number of people (unless you’re planning to host Animal Crossing treasure islands, which, you’re probably not).

We had a Switch Lite, but it was redundant since we each had a regular/OLED, so we sold it.

Why not just start with one and go from there? Get the OLED if you’re planning to primarily play handheld, or if faster loading times are super important to you.

And the one on the right is Link, a male.

You’ve got it! The joke!

I felt the first Mass Effect was cozier than the sequels, though I never finished the sequels.

“Catch creatures to use to fight” is a broad enough theme that it should be fair use, and has other precedent. For example, it was done in Bomberman Generation. Why didn’t Nintendo sue Konami?

2 is the only one I completed. I enjoyed it.

The graphical shortcomings might have something to do with there being 100 players in the match at once.

This chapter/season added jetpacks, which are very fun.

And still no Half-Life 3

Heard of that one a few times

Spear of Destiny or Rise of the Triad would have been better picks

It’s the same game though

If you’re open to silly casual games, Untitled Goose Game

Also, I heard Cult of the Lamb was getting a co-op update

If you want to talk about “how do I get up there” in a 3d environment, Doom did it before TR.

What did CoD 4 introduce that Halo 3 hadn’t already done 2 months prior?

Low effort? OP doesn’t say anything about what they dislike.

Putting Sonic in a game with competitive running is a joke from the get-go. He can run at the speed of sound. Ridiculous.

Because the person who made the meme took the screenshots from google instead of their own game.

Wow… hella lazy.

Gyorg was tough as a kid, but… bosses should be tough. Some of OoT’s bosses were TOO easy (King Dodongo and Morpha in particular).

I felt like II had very few modern segments and was worth it

the combats a bit clunky

Compared to what?

morphballganon, 3 miesiące temu

You can’t think of a game with non-clunky combat, and you still mark Skyrim down for it?

morphballganon, 3 miesiące temu

Asking you to clarify your argument is not me making my own. That’s a straw man fallacy.

Also Skyrim’s combat is much better than Stardew Valley’s…

morphballganon, 3 miesiące temu

Stardew has no dual wielding… only one type of attack per weapon. There are bombs, sure.

Compared to Skyrim though?

There are still good AAA games. The trick is to wait for reviews with gameplay videos and only buy the good ones.

I used to play Unblock Me. Made it maybe 1000 levels in various difficulties before stopping.

Also… and I never see anyone else mention this… DOOM does not take place on Mars.

DOOM episode 1: Knee-Deep in the Dead takes place on Phobos. Episode 2: The Shores of Hell takes place on Deimos. Episode 3: Inferno takes place in Hell.

Doom 2: Hell on Earth takes place, as you might think, on Earth.

The whole plot of the first game is that humans are experimenting with teleporters between Phobos and Deimos, when Deimos mysteriously vanishes. To investigate, the player character is sent to Phobos, with the mission to make it through the teleporter to Deimos to see where it is. But upon arriving on Phobos, something is horribly wrong…

I guess you forgot about the Wii remote turning being too slow for fighting the hive queen

morphballganon, 4 miesiące temu

Nope, you’re not the only one. The Wii port of Prime wasn’t as well-tested as the original.

Halo is more “figuring out how to defeat this room of enemies IS the puzzle” whereas Metroid’s puzzles are platforming and figuring out how to apply this new item to the areas you’ve already visited, and there just happen to also be enemies to fight.

I maxed it out and it was still slower than the GCN stick let you turn. Beating the bee boss thus relied on luck where it shouldn’t.

Oh of course, anything else was unplayable

morphballganon, 5 miesięcy temu

Agreed but what does that have to do with a work created by a team of hundreds of people?

Oohhh Sirius would be the best choice I think, so it can go on after James’s death and you can confront Peter at the end

So, you’re just going to ignore the hundreds of game makers who worked on the game and don’t share her views?

Where does the money flow, bud?

A lot of people. Artists, programmers, voice actors, designers etc. So what if some fraction goes to a bigot? I’m not allowing her to live rent-free in my head and control my purchases like you are.

My replies aren’t for the troll’s benefit, but to give context to undecided lurkers.

morphballganon, 4 miesiące temu

Being a lurker and being a troll are mutually exclusive. When you start being a troll, you are no longer a lurker.

Sounds more like an “easy mode” thing. Have certain enemies immune to certain guns on the harder difficulties. Want to just use the shotgun? Play easy mode. Want to be more strategic? Play a harder difficulty.

Did they ever fix the stick sensitivity issue?

Cartridges actually have much faster load times than discs. Notice how the Switch has reverted back to cartridges? They’re faster.

As for the controller… It is pretty odd. Though, at the time, we didn’t have the same standard for controller design we have now. So it makes sense that Nintendo would try something bold. Then after they had committed to the design, the world decided the PS1 controller made much more sense, and that became the benchmark for future controller designs.

How about first we charge the real people doing real war crimes, e.g., Netanyahu and Putin? Then we can talk about whether mashing buttons is comparable.

Yeah, I was considering listing Bush Jr, but then it would have felt weird leaving the others out, and I didn’t feel like listing them all.

Per use.

I strongly prefer 0 seconds.
