That coupled with the no money purchase of Sephiroth, means I'm down major on my gold coins and need to see about buying some more eShop credit and more games with this supposed stimulus. Edit: he liked playing as the impostor, which is immediately kinda sus. Every time he got that role, I asked if he had been ejected out the airlock yet 🤣 I still think SRK people need to play Among Us. I think it'd be hilarious. Edit: I forgot for a moment that this was Megashock...shame on me! Edited December 22, 2020 by Sonichuman DarkSakul and RegH81 2 Quote Link to comment

That's actually a good idea, but knowing how most of us are interacting on the board here; it'd probably be either very easy or very hard to spot certain members as Impostors 🤣 Wellman, RSG3 and RegH81 2 1 Quote Link to comment
hanzohattori12 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Bought Bloodstained ROTN during the sale with a gift card I had and I’m sad to say that it’s disappointing how bad the frame rate is. Vigil runs better than ROTN. Blasphemous runs better than both. If the Switch version runs this bad after all the patches, God only knows how the Vita (the original version I backed) would’ve turned out. DoctaMario 1 Quote Link to comment
iStu X Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I have good taste Octopath will probably over take both Hyrule Warriors and DQXI. I’m at 62 hours. Hyrule Warriors was 86 and I think DQXI was 120 Edited December 23, 2020 by iStu X Wellman 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s been a hell of a year. We survived Tom Nook trying to take over the world like The Brain and no ones heads exploded when they played Hyrule Warriors AoC since it's just a very okay title. cya next year. Q1 gunna be redonk.

Darc_Requiem Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Man, I didn't played my Switch half as much this year as last year. I know Fire Emblem Three Houses is the cause. It was my number one played game 2 years in a row. RSG3, iStu X and Wellman 3 Quote Link to comment

MillionX Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 ah, it's as I figured of course...my most played was Dead Cells, Diablo 3 and Streets of Rage 4, Fight-N-Rage and Hades.... total hours this year, at least they know of was 277. (*plenty of other times I'm offline, and it probably doesn't log that, I imagine.) Monthly activity actually went down as the year went on... this was a side effect of the pandemic, actually. Most of the time I played Switch from day 1... it was always some place *other* than home...that was part of the appeal for me. This is on top of the workload shooting up by some crazy percentage, meaning I was instantly ready to just pass out after logging off for the day....no energy left even for the simple luxury of playing a damn game.

DoctaMario Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 To no one's surprise whatsoever 😂 Actually I am kind of surprised I put in that many hours on MK11 that it made the top 5. Darc_Requiem, Sonichuman, TheInfernoman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

iStu X Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) How easy is it to clean a pro controller? Mine’s left analog is fucked up and has been drifting left and down on me. I’ve thought about just tossing it since I have two back ups. But if it’s a somewhat easy fix I wouldn’t mind doing so. also, unrelated, a few days ago I almost had a god damn heart attack. I was trying to boot up Octopath Traveler and it crashed on me during the start up 3 times. I’m almost 100 hours in. I would have been god damn furious. Thankfully it finally worked and I haven’t had the issue since. But damn Edited December 26, 2020 by iStu X Quote Link to comment

Buy silicone lubricant and spray it into the analog stick assembly. I have fixed drift on several types of controllers that way. Works better if you take apart the controller first, but if for some reason you can't, SOMETIMES you can get away with just spraying it into the analog stick from above and moving it around to make sure it gets inside.

Darc_Requiem Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I knew the Switch curb stomping everything in Japan, I mean last weeks top 30 had 29 Switch titles. What I didn't realize was the US sales so crazy. Yes I know the Switch has been been the best selling system each month for over a year but still. The software sales are nuts. Granted it's only Amazon but 8 of the top 10 selling games were for the Switch. Breath of Wild, Smash, and Ring Fit were in the list. All of those game aren't recent releases. The big kickers were the Super Mario Collection and Age of Calamity. Not because they sold well but they released at the end of the years and still sold well enough to crack the top ten.

Darc_Requiem Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Yeah it's the highest selling Musou title. I expected AoC to do well because of the Breath of the Wild tie in, but this well. Apparently Nintendo and Koei/Tecmo were caught of guard by well it's selling too. Quote Link to comment
Wellman Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 As terrible as I am sure this year probably was for them all, Nintendo lucked up with New Horizons, Mario 3D Collection (can't bring myself to call it a legit Mario All Stars) and Hyrule Warriors doing so well to cover their limited releases this year.
