yeah it’s dreadful but also it’s totally fine

Genesis Noir is also on xbox game pass (I know I know this is a Nintendo thread, just putting it out there for anyone w multiple options) and it's worth a spin. The graphics are unlike anything I've seen in a game, really stunning imo. Gameplay is I guess what is called 'gentle', but mixed with a lot of disorienting or trippy dream-like movement: camera zooms in or out, things get bigger or smaller, scenes or objects morph from one thing to another. I don't know if the story will amount to much but it's so nice to look at that I can give it a pass on that, probably.

Got Skyward Sword for xmas. Controls are dreadful. Have tried joycons in button mode, joycons doing wiimote motion style, procontroller. For most things, the pro controller is best but it is really hard to get the right slash/stab/spin move. Its more accurate with motion controls, but made my arms hurt. I'm thusly stuck on the Ghiraim bossfight and not sure I can get past it. :( Very frustrating.

the first ghiraim fight is one of the biggest roadblocks/knowledge checks in a mainline nintendo game. if i recall, you need to lead his hand away with a fake tell, then quickly do a different swing.

yeah, even being aware of that im struggling. Sometimes I can get heaps of hits in, sometimes I flail. I might walk out of the temple and go back to skyloft and get more heart jar juice. Unless I cant? :/

i got so bored with the slog at the beginning of skyward sword that i abandoned the game. i need to pick it up again but i've been sucked into fire emblem so it might be a while.

Skyward Sword is the only Zelda I've started but not finished. I think I was right near the end, too, when I gave up. Seem to recall abandoning the game when I couldn't get past an enemy blocking a narrow bridge?? I had already been hate-playing it for a while and that just did me in. My least favourite Zelda game by far. I hope you all can enjoy it more than I did.
I did really like the bits with the desert robots and the Koloktos boss fight but the 'silent realm' bits stressed me out and I really stopped enjoying the experience when the Imprisoned appeared for a second time... so I was pretty enraged when this most stupidest looking, unfun monster ever appeared a THIRD time, and not long enough after the second encounter for my fury to have subsided

i quite enjoyed tux and fanny. it's simple but has lots of fun tangents and minigames, as well as absurdist humor that reminded me of frog fractions.

Maybe Kirby is what I need to actually like the Switch?

at 40s they do a sped up bridge from "Your Gold Teeth"

Kirby is a bit like steely dan, sucking in chillys, gordos, etc. (session musicians) to steal their essence while remaining kirby (steely dan)
― Ssäm Sauce | Martha Stewart (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 13 January 2022 23:23 (two years ago) link
xp lol yes i noticed that, kirby must have the ability to absorb donald fagen in this game

i had to click through to youtube to figure out that that was a speedrun of the demo and not the full game, lol
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Monday, 24 January 2022 16:28 (two years ago) link
I never heard of that demo before but the world record of the full game is 6:49 min

i love how totally disconnected it is from anything to do with the game some weird realm
― lag∞n, Monday, 24 January 2022 17:25 (two years ago) link
Best way to sum it up is Link just becomes Neo in that scene where the bullets stop and he sees everything in code.

the part where the fish gets placed on the ground, and then they jump into some pit 3 layers down, i lost it

its a shamanistic style of play

a hero appears from a demo. they lay down bombs, turn around to face the direction they came from, and blow themselves backward through the secret zones in a maze forest. they lay down a fish and jump down into a pit

not a fan of the octopath style being used on every jrpg remake but live a live is genuinely a better octopath than octopath
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 22:27 (two years ago) link
yes finally xenoblade 3 im so happy
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 22:40 (two years ago) link
3d kirby and xenoblade 3 and more splatoon this is gonna be the best year for switch since the launch year even if zelda doesnt make it
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 22:44 (two years ago) link
I love the octopath style so give me all of themFront Mission remakes was a surprise, also SD Gundam wtf
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 22:45 (two years ago) link
the combat in xenoblade 1 left me cold - is it any different in the sequel?
― aegis philbin (crüt), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 22:54 (two years ago) link
they added some more layers to it but its still fundamentally the same mmo-esque system with autoattacks and cooldowns
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 23:10 (two years ago) link
i think i am fairly alone on this board in my love for xenoblade 2. it's a very messy game but entirely in ways i like
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 23:13 (two years ago) link
Cool about Portal (loved both but didn’t finish either). What’s earthbound?
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 23:14 (two years ago) link
seminal SNES jrpg, big influence on tons of stuff (moreso for its tone and writing style than its gameplay which is basically just dragon quest with some tweaks)

they correctly identified that they don't need to make a new mario kart when they can just double the number of tracks in the current one instead
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 23:24 (two years ago) link
xxxp no I love Xenoblade 2 as well, a mess yes but a glorious one. The battle systems in Xeno games tend to take a long time to ramp up though, they’ll be adding in layers of systems like 20+ hours in, it’s all part of the madness.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 23:35 (two years ago) link
i love the grotesque "mouth mode" kirby stuff
― aegis philbin (crüt), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 23:55 (two years ago) link
So basically nothing to look forward to except Cuphead content and (I guess?) Portal.
