Darc_Requiem Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The Witcher 3 was a 54GB into a 32GB cartridge. A 40GB into 32GB isn't asking for much effort. The reduction in texture quality would do the work for them. Now if they were trying to squeeze into a 16GB cartridge...yeah that wasn't going to happen. Quote Link to comment

DoctaMario Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 downloaded onto my Switch. I'm hyped to get to try it out but like every other preorder I've copped, the game and everything is there ready to go, but it's locked for the rest of the week. I don't understand the logic of having it sitting there on my card and not being able to play it at all. Are they trying to conserve bandwidth by having stuff download before release like that?

RegH81 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Twice tonight while playing on my Switch, I have gotten the message that my system is too hot and is entering sleep mode to cool down.

DoctaMario Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I was playing Tetris 99 last night with the joycons detached and suddenly for about 3-5 seconds it was like the Bluetooth cut out.

Sonichuman Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Anytime I use the joycons they are usually attached to the system or in the grip. I think I've only ever used them as a separate controller once or twice during the life of my system. I'm fine with them in the grip but only resort to separate controller if its a dire situation. I usually have all my controllers on me at all times so it rarely ever happens. And like Darc said...the Pro Controller is where its at. I haven't tried playing NMH like the wiimote and nunchuk setup yet though. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

I know how. Fairy magic and shit had to be involved! So, my quest to obtain a 40th anniversary collector's edition for Fire Emblem is done for now. I ended up buying a $10 eShop card off Amazon and buying the game with it with some to spare. I also had my daughter-in-law ask what I wanted for Christmas, and my wife sent a picture of the box art for DQ11. Probably will buy another $100 worth of eShop credit in a couple of days once my invoicing money comes in on Tuesday and pick up Age of Calamity and maybe Rune Factory 4. I'll also start setting pre-orders up for the first three months of the year after the holiday as well. I already have Bravely Default II pre-ordered from Amazon, but I want to pick up the new Mario 3D World and Persona 5 Strikers for sure. Monster Hunter Rise I'm not really sure about yet, but if it's anything like World; I'll probably get it too. Also, my wife is getting a ridiculous EOY bonus. Something like $4k+ pre-tax, so I'm strongly eyeing getting the Famicom/Super Famicom Classics along with a new microSD card instead of a phone or updated computer parts. Edit: went ahead and decided to treat myself to $198 worth of eShop credit, and now Amazon has shit the bed and will probably have my order in pending overnight.

MillionX Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) sheeeitttt, I finally got it yesterday, so I'm just getting started on Age of Calamity.....physical, of course; I was at Best Buy (*they actually let you go inside the store! It's a damn shame that this is a pleasant surprise; I figured that was the case since most other places let you go inside the building now, but when the pandemic was "fresh", you had to stay outside while one of the workers brings out specific items you came there to buy.....fuck that....I enjoy the simple luxury of browsing.) It seems like I will always enjoy this type of game; we need more games like this out there. *sidenote---the tv/movies section has been reduced to almost nothing. (*if I saw season 5 of The Originals, I finally would've bought it) 😞 I didn't even see any tv stuff at all, actually... just a couple of 4-sided standing things with movies.

YourFavGrandpa Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Woke up this morning, and saw that my eShop order went through that I had placed last night. Immediately bought Age of Calamity, and have $137 left. Planning on not using that until after the holidays are over, which will give me time to sort through the remaining games I want (and potentially ask for a lot more from the missus after the bonus hits).

Painting communities with a broad brush just because of the actions of a few doesn't help anyone though, that's the problem with points of view like that in the article imo. Instead of saying "x smasher is a degen and needs to up their life game" it's "the smash community as a whole needs to change" when it's a small handful of idiots doing dirt. I agree that the smash community is, well, different, but they say this stuff about every community due to the actions of a few, they've even done it about the FGC as a whole. People IN the FGC who know that it isn't everybody doing dumb shit STILL go on the whole "the FGC is fill of degens and needs to improve" which, again, is reductive and doesn't help anyone.

RegH81 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Was doing some shopping today and saw that Space Invaders Forever was on sale at Walmart. The game's street date is the 11th. After a quick search I see it has 3 of the 11 games on the Japan only Space Invaders Invincible Collection. Bit of a bummer but the three games Forever has (Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders, Space Invaders Extreme and Space Invaders Gigamax 4SE) look really good. $30 isn't too shabby either. No idea why Invincible Collection isn't coming stateside but importing is still possible via pre-orders on Strictly Limited: https://store.strictlylimitedgames.com/collections/space-invaders/products/space-invaders-invincible-collection-nsw-preorder Only thing that stings is that $70+ price tag. Not something I can do for just a standard edition right now so, I'm gonna be going with Space Invaders Forever. Quote Link to comment
