have been playing a lot of 'president' from the clubhouse games pack in btwn work/clients. always my favorite card game, very happy to have an actually deece version you can play super quick rounds of at a whim. to me that's worth the 40 bux right there, and then there are 50 other games??!? thx nintendo!
― lumen (esby), Thursday, 2 July 2020 03:13 (three years ago) link
do most of the Clubhouse games have online play?
― Nhex, Thursday, 2 July 2020 03:35 (three years ago) link
not 100% sure about that as I've just been playing against the computer... but judging from the games menus I think they probably all do yeah

Is paper mario good?

It probably doesn't matter. I am in the middle of the world's slowest playthrough of DQXI.

No no I am

Actually probably not since I’ve taken the whole week off and have no plans other than playing DQXI, but I bet I end up taking more hours to finish than everyone else
― sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Monday, 20 July 2020 16:41 (three years ago) link
I just finished up the horse race and a party member finally died in a desert battle. Sometimes, I'll spend a whole session on the forge.

I am still a few levels away from maxing out (at 20) the levels of my party in the DQXI demo - beat that, losers.
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 20 July 2020 18:27 (three years ago) link
is dqxi really light and stupid? i think i might be into it. howlongtobeat.com says main + extras = ~ 87½ Hours
i started playing witcher 3 in march. i'm still not done, and i'm not being a completionist. i'm at 178 hours, and there are hours and hours left of DLC left. i didn't even play fucking gwent.
i need a follow-up that's big and absorbing, but not filled with ~ evil ~ and horrible load times.
― rb (soda), Monday, 20 July 2020 18:43 (three years ago) link
ps i have never played dragon quest
if youre looking at the switch version there's a demo that includes the first several hours of the game and your progress carries over if you buy the real thing
― ciderpress, Monday, 20 July 2020 19:13 (three years ago) link
this looks potentially good!

for some reason they showed it on the Japanese direct but not the North American one. action-platform-farmer-rpg!

one of the major upsides of digital distribution is that getting games that would never show up in america hinges primarily on localization costs... maybe we get that in 2021?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 20 July 2020 21:29 (three years ago) link
oh shit it IS coming out here and oh MORE shit it's xseed! yeah, that looks like a purchase to me.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 20 July 2020 21:30 (three years ago) link
yeah, it's odd they didn't include it in the NA direct because it's getting released here first!
― The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Monday, 20 July 2020 21:51 (three years ago) link
that game's been in development for a while, i played a demo of it at pax last year. its nice

I’ve been wondering this myself. The battle system could be really clever if done right but I fear it’s just some dumb bullshit. I think a bad Paper Mario game would really bum me out.
― trapped out the barndo (crüt), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 01:22 (three years ago) link
However according to most Paper Mario fans it seems there hasn’t been a good entry since the GameCube one.
― Evan, Tuesday, 21 July 2020 01:47 (three years ago) link
That's what I've been hearing as well. Still if this gets enough positive notice I'll give it a try. Hearing more mixed reactions though
― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 July 2020 01:48 (three years ago) link
tbh i haven't played one since the N64
― trapped out the barndo (crüt), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 01:53 (three years ago) link
The GameCube entry was great, if you have a means to play it
― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 July 2020 01:55 (three years ago) link
the first two paper mario games are proper JRPGs with levels, itemization, party members, etc, then they decided to step down all the RPG elements and turn them into adventure games, with mixed results. this is the fourth one of the latter type and it sounds like it might be the best but it's still not gonna satisfy people who want the full-on RPG stuff
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 July 2020 02:02 (three years ago) link
Anyone pick up "Carrion?" Game looks pretty cool, and probably ideal for Switch (which isn't getting much use from me these days, tbh).
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 27 July 2020 16:48 (three years ago) link
my Switch is now a dedicated Tetris 99 device
― lukas, Monday, 27 July 2020 17:06 (three years ago) link
Carrion looks super dope. Will get around to buying it someday
― Nhex, Monday, 27 July 2020 18:32 (three years ago) link
carrion looks a bit like Shadow Complex, which I loved
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 27 July 2020 18:59 (three years ago) link
Yeah Carrion's on my "wait for a sale" list
― cwkiii, Saturday, 1 August 2020 15:20 (three years ago) link
just played a little carrion and it seems pretty fun. moving around feels good and the the sound design is gross. chewing up dudes is satisfying but hopefully it's only a couple hours long as idk if i want to do like 10 hours of it.
also loaded up panzer paladin, also fun with terrific visuals and music.

pikmin 3 deluxe coming in october

sounds good to me
― Nhex, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 18:13 (three years ago) link
i've never played any pikmin game, so i'm pretty excited
― The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 20:49 (three years ago) link
they are great fun
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 21:21 (three years ago) link
I never played this before, either, but ... $60 for an 8-year old Wii-U game? That until this announcement was apparently priced at $20 on the Wii-U shop? I can't pretend to understand Nintendo, but I think it's kinda sad that there are handful of brand new titles I want to get for my end of life PS4, two of them PS4 exclusives, but it's been months since there's been a first party title I wanted to get for my Switch and nothing concrete to look forward to, either, beyond the long teased promise of Metroid 4 and a BotW sequel.
Fun fact: while my kids never want to play Smash Bros., when we did they would often make me play as the Pikmin guy as a sort of handicap.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 21:25 (three years ago) link
the price of street fighter 2 turbo was $69.99 (or $79.99?) in mid-90s dollars
― The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:10 (three years ago) link
At least Nintendo has been consistent, then. Maybe Pikmin 3 is underpriced. Do I hear $80? $100?
Seriously, though, if a game like Red Dead Redemption 2, which was reportedly made for between $80 and $100 million, can be sold for $30 (even if on sale) two years after release, then Nintendo can do better than $60 for a spiffed-up port of an 8-year old game. For that matter, it's not like Nintendo titles get much in the way of sales or discounts, either. But hey, I'm not going to buy it, so no worries, Nintendo. You do you.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:20 (three years ago) link
earthbound was like $80 in 1995 yeah. part of why it flopped. the $60 standard didnt really get established until the late 90s
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:24 (three years ago) link
Anyway, it's really not a matter of what things cost 20 years ago, isn't a better comparison what competitors charge today?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:27 (three years ago) link
who are the competitors for pikmin?
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:29 (three years ago) link
not that i think everyone should drive a forklift of money to nintendo all time time but they don't really have true competitors which is why they can and do price like that
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:30 (three years ago) link
I mean, their competitors would be I guess other video game manufacturers? But others have pointed out that the big three offer such distinct experiences at this point that they are functionally different things, so yeah.Certainly Nintendo can charge whatever they want for the properties they own. They know their market. I just don't think it's a terribly good defense of high prices to say, boy, they would have been even higher a couple of decades ago!
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:34 (three years ago) link
i am the competitor of pikmin
― The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:37 (three years ago) link
which i will purchase, for $60
