Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

@Octane we're talking about the Switch version mate, obviously the Wii U version you played is subpar!

I just beat Torna. To be honest I liked it a more than the original game. The small changes make battles better, the main characters are actually likable (rex and nia were way generic) and it really has an actual satisfying ending with the final battles being my favourite in the series.

Too bad they never patched the performance issues in handheld mode though.

So I got Hyperlight in the current discounts but I may go back and finish Doom first. I see also Enter the Gungeon for 5.69 pounds. Has anyone tried it?

@belmont I loved Rex & Nia 😂 I love these guys too, though. How many hours?

Hyper Light Drifter is awesome. I'm pretty good at it too, beat NG+ and casually trying to do a no death run on normal. My best attempt is 3 deaths (I think? 5 or less, anyway!). PS4 version. Really awesome game.

Not tried ETG, my friend says it's awesome.

Edit: I realised I said awesome a lot. My vocabulary ain't awesome.

@kyleforrester87 I have clocked ~28 hours and I completed everything except two sidequests that unlock post game. I worked a bit on affinity charts but I have not totally completed them. I used the faq on gamefaqs for some sidequests. The only think I didn't like is that after all the sidequests seeing the community tab over and over again is tyring.

Lora and Addam are way better than Rex and Nia IMHO. Better writing, better voice acting and they don't seem jrpg generic.

I started Hyper Light Drifter. Seems very interesting. Runs great on Switch portable but sometimes the weapon pointer is not clearly visible. In your opinion is the storytelling good even without the written dialogue in HLD?

@belmont the story telling is really quite vague, and the overall plot doesn't make a great deal of sense frankly. But it's open to interpretation and there are some solid theories if you are not very good at picking up on some of the finer details (which I am not).

It doesn't really matter to me though, you get the general idea easily enough and the environments and soundtrack create great sense of wonder.

As for the gun pointer i know what you mean, but once you get the hang of it you don't really spend time lining up shots, you just shoot and move in pretty quick succession. You basically die in 1 or 2 hits against anything in NG+ so you gotta be quick! It feels great when you're comfortable with the controls and destroy a big mob without taking damage.

Try the dash challenge in the main town, too. My best is around 1000, there was a trophy for 800+ on PS4. Drove me a bit mad 😂

@kyleforrester87 Thanks for the heads'up. This game has "in game achievements" in an option in the main menu. I didn't see it that much beacuse I was afraid of spoilers but there was something like die 1000 times, don't die at all, beat NG+ etc. This may be common, I have other switch games that have this in game achievement system (saturday morning, r-type etc.)

@belmont let me know how you get on, it has a reputation for being a hard game but it really isn't that bad. A few tough spikes here and there, mostly 2 or 3 tricky bosses.

Hyper Light Drifter is great! One of the best games I played in 2016. Love the soundtrack as well, same guy who did the soundtrack for Fez.

@Octane Agreed, amazing soundtrack (and game).

@Octane @Rudy_Manchego I agree more than both of you combined.

Disasterpeace's music was pretty much the only thing I liked about the horror film It Follows.

@kyleforrester87 Nope because when me and @Octane agree, we activate our magic rings of awesomenesss and become Captain Agree more than you, super hero who likes things so much it saves the planets ecology.

Lol after those comments I am eager to continue HLD on switch instead of Doom. I will leave more comments once I get a bit further in.

@Rudy_Manchego that's BS and you know it.

@Ralizah I knew he'd done some (or a) movie soundtrack. Didn't know it was that one though. I'll take a look.

@kyleforrester87 Clearly you are jelly because your ring is not magic. Just slightly worn.

@Rudy_Manchego my ring is absolutely spotless, thank you very much.

@KratosMD Have you tried manually resyncing them?

Also try manually restarting the system.

So I’m gonna be getting a copy of the new Smash Bros. I payed for a friends PS Plus and I’m having him get me the new Smash in return. I’m not sure when as he’s getting his finances in order (I was actually helping him that the other day, because he’s terrible with money.), but I’m gonna be getting a copy sometime.

My mate in work has lent me his Switch Pro controller, cos he reckons I'll need it for Kong due to the lack of a D pad on the Joy Cons.

Not sure I'm totally ok about using someone else's controller, I'll have to only use it wearing gloves lol.
