Nintendo Switch #4: More than 1 year later

[robertmac43]

Looking at maybe getting either Xenoblade game and I have some questions...are the stories related in any way?

I have asked that question on here before and all the feedback has said you can start with either. The original is coming out in remaster form tomorrow though, so I think it makes sense to start there.

There are story elements from the first game in the second but it's not until the very end of the game.

Just waiting for Xenoblade to come in the mail today. Never played the original even though its sitting on my shelf lol.

Xenoblade 2 is riddled with anime jank and endless tutorials. Buyer beware if that stuff isn't up your alley!

Anyone plan on picking up the Bioshock collection, Borderlands collection, or XCom 2 today?

 

[Jovavic]

I've played about 15 hours of the first one on the Wii and I don't remember the reason why I stopped lol. Is the second one good aside from the tutorials and anime oddness? Neither of those matter much to me

I'll say something about Xenobade 2... looked great on the tv. My eyes BLEED when I play it handheld. Sucks since I play 90% handheld.

 

[Pilky01]

The word Xenoblade makes my eyes glaze over.

Anyone plan on picking up the Bioshock collection, Borderlands collection, or XCom 2 today?

Im tempted by Bioshock Infinite. I only played it a small bit on PS3.

 

[robertmac43]

I may pick up XCOM at some point as well as Xenoblade. I'm in no rush so Ill wait until my backlog is a little more complete.

The second one is good, third one is very, very solid

I'm waiting on reviews to see how they play in handheld mode, as I only have the Lite. Something tells me the menus might be tough to read, and any stuttering would likely kill it for me.

Anyone looking for a sports game should try Super Mega Baseball 3. I must have played a couple hundred 3-inning games on the demo before FINALLY opening my wallet today. The pitching and batting interfaces are perfectly polished. So much fun.

Man, I would give just about anything for even a little snippet of BotW2 news right about now.....

I fully recognize that their work is assuredly being delayed by Covid, so my pre-Covid hunch of December 2020 for a release date ain't happening, but I'd take anything at this point about it.

I played through it late myself, but what a gem that game was.

There was a pretty cool thread here on HF about it when it came out. Can’t seem to find it though.

Overall the entire series is so worth it. The collection is a great deal; Bioshiock 1 and 2 both hold their own even in 2020.

I play through Bioshock pretty much on a yearly basis, any time I am in a gaming rut I return to Rapture, one of my all time favorites

Picked up Lines Infinite for $0.19. Pretty good puzzle game. Sat down and played for a few hours straight, which usually never happens.

I had something like this on my phone years ago. Simple but very fun.

I'd like to get a wireless controller and am looking for suggestions. I have a wired Hori pro controller, but don't like the D-pad, the lack of rumble, and the lack of ability to turn on the Switch with the controller. I don't really care for the joycons either as they make my hands cramp.

Any suggestions? What I'm looking for is:

1. Wireless
2. Rumble
3. A price lower than $60 (US)
4. Rechargeable battery
5. Ability to turn on the Switch with the controller
6. A non-ugly design

If it doesn't have Amiibo scanning abilities, I don't mind. Same with gyro.

All signs point to me having to get the Nintendo Wireless Pro controller, but I don't want to spend that much cash.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The pro controller is pretty damn good and other than the price pretty much fits everything you're looking for.

Just picked it up after reading this. Scratching my puzzle itch for sure.

Divinity Sin is on sale, anyone know if handles well on the Switch? It's a game I have been eyeing for a while.

I only put in a few hours but the performance was totally fine. I've heard the biggest battles (lots of enemies, lots of explosions/fire, etc.) can slow down the game a bit, but overall it runs well enough to enjoy as per all the major reviews I read. Like I said, I had no issues, but I didn't get far enough to see some of the bigger battles.

Yea I picked one up recently (within the past month) and I am kicking myself for not getting it sooner. I had bought one of the cheaper ones prior.

It's probably the nicest controller I have ever used (though I am not a gamer, I do have 30+ years of gaming).

Did anyone end up picking up 51 Clubhouse Games? Kind of intrigued on getting it in a way. Looks pretty neat to mess around with at times.
