what would all do if Reggie started hyping PS4 releases, kind of like when the "can you hear me now?" guy switched phone companies?

surprised there hasn't been some chatter on here about the rumored xbox/nintendo collab
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/02/why-putting-xbox-games-on-switch-isnt-as-ridiculous-as-it-might-sound/
Here at Ars, we tend to be skeptical of the regularly recurring rumors that two major video game competitors are going to be merging or teaming up in some way. From the early 2000s whispers that Microsoft would buy a struggling Sega to suggestions that Apple should buy Nintendo, these rumors often reflect wishful thinking at least as much as actual insider knowledge.That said, we're still intrigued by recent rumors that Microsoft could be bringing certain Xbox One games—and a version of its Xbox Game Pass subscription service—to the Nintendo Switch and other consoles.As the current scuttlebutt has it, an Xbox app to be released for the Switch would let players with an Xbox Game Pass subscription play a selection of Xbox One games on Nintendo's hardware. High-end games would work on Nintendo's lower-end hardware thanks to streaming via Microsoft's recently announced Project xCloud. Meanwhile, Microsoft would also sell certain low-end first-party Xbox One games, like the Ori series, to the Switch directly, according to the rumors.These latest reports originate with a video from Direct Feed Games, who cites "several" unnamed sources creating "teasing and hinting [that] has reached a point to which I can no longer ignore it." The Direct Feed Games channel is mainly known for extremely basic gameplay videos, though, and it has a spotty history of accurate rumor reporting. Last March, the channel confidently but incorrectly stated that "Call of Duty will come to Switch in 2018," for instance.But Game Informer also cites its own sources as saying that Xbox Game Pass on Switch could be announced "this year." And the usually reliable Windows Central says that they've been "hearing for almost a year that Microsoft was aiming to put Xbox Game Pass on Nintendo Switch, and even PlayStation 4."

i'd believe it, Microsoft doesn't really seem to care about console exclusivity anymore as much as just selling their subscription service. they want to be gamer netflix

what's the best jrpg on switch? should i just wait for dq11?
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Sunday, 24 February 2019 20:11 (five years ago) link
consensus seems to be octopath traveler for the old school style actionDQXI looks amazing and you know what you're going to get
note that i haven't played either
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 24 February 2019 20:13 (five years ago) link
i think i read a bit too much about octopath traveler before i got a switch and bought into the backlash. i should probably just get it b/c i like old grindy jrpgs
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Sunday, 24 February 2019 20:41 (five years ago) link
do you want turn based or action jrpg?
― ciderpress, Sunday, 24 February 2019 21:32 (five years ago) link
DQXI is more old school than octopath gameplay wise, theres not really anything in it that couldn't have been in a 90s game other than the graphics. whereas octopath's combat system builds off of mechanics from more recent stuff like persona and bravely default, it feels a lot more modern to play even if the presentation is retro
― ciderpress, Sunday, 24 February 2019 21:43 (five years ago) link
i think they're both good not great games but if you want a standard turn based jrpg they're the options
― ciderpress, Sunday, 24 February 2019 21:49 (five years ago) link
theres also the actual best jrpg on the system, xenoblade 2, if youre open to something much weirder
― ciderpress, Sunday, 24 February 2019 22:01 (five years ago) link
i will eventually play octopath. unfortuanately i will never play xenoblade due to the battle sounds/speech. holy shit, not for me. it's too bad because i've enjoyed the small bits of the xeno series that i've played
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 24 February 2019 22:06 (five years ago) link
i prefer turn-based, but i'm open to weirder combat systems. a terrible aesthetic will ruin the game for me, though, which is why i'm hesitant to buy xenoblade 2. i suspect i will think DQXI is a great game. i love persona 5, played through a lot of it on a friend's ps4
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Sunday, 24 February 2019 23:05 (five years ago) link
dont think persona has much bearing on anything else here, its in a different school of jrpg
― ciderpress, Sunday, 24 February 2019 23:24 (five years ago) link
Shin Megami Tensei 5 should be coming later this year, I think it is the only game from the initial Switch reveal that hasn't been released yet?

oh and Valkyria Chronicles is currently on sale for €9.99/£7.99 in EU eshops, well worth playing if you haven't already

I don’t think there’s any particular reason to expect SMTV this year

My kids can officially kick my butt at SSBU all the time now. Need to practice more. Any tips? They are into the harsh tournament style 1:1 with no weapons or spirits.

well I guess you should grind it out against your kids and git gud~

which chars do you like to play? all the anime sword dudes are pretty easy because their normal attacks have bigger hitboxes
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 00:44 (five years ago) link
more seriously I'd say make sure you know how to shield, grab, throw, use your normal (A button) attacks and aerial attacks. When my sister and I were small playing Smash on N64 I'm pretty sure we only believed in special (B button) attacks for a long time.
― moose; squirrel (silby), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 00:47 (five years ago) link
like not use them well necessarily just get the inputs down.
― moose; squirrel (silby), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 00:48 (five years ago) link
I’m getting there. Back in the day, we would play 4-player free-for-alls with weapons so it never felt that bad to lose. Much worse in a 1:1 battle. I’ve been using Ganandorf and I can beat L9 CPUs like 25% of the time. My kids play faster characters and have gotten really evilly good at spiking and edge-guarding. I think that’s my next frontier, but that shit feels particularly cruel.

it's just part of the game, think of it like having someone stuck in the corner in a trad fighter

'scorbunny' sounds like a gross website or an english countryside depending on how you pronounce it. neither is acceptable.
