And if Persona 5 had come out on its original Valentine’s Day release date....man...

Absolutely. Pretty early on I found a tower I hadn’t activated yet and went to activate it, turns out it was an area being guarded by flying Guardians that could target you and 1shot you with beams. Still managed to maneuver my way around, spending about an hour, and had a blast

Climbing is a fucking game changer. I’ve played a decent amount of open world games and a ton of MMOs and I’ve NEVER felt the urge to explore like I have in Zelda, and I think it’s precisely because of climbing and paragliding. The world in WoW has similar scale but mountains and hills are a pain to navigate without…

Ahhh haven’t really noticed the song playing. It’s different from the one Link just hums to himself?

Goddamn I’m excited to get it when it comes out on PC...

The first Nier is probably my favorite game ever, so I’m glad to see that not only is Automata getting rave reviews, it seems that outside of the combat being better a lot of the strengths of Automata are also the strengths of the first game. It’s not like Yoko Taro made Nier more mainstream to make it better, it…

It does but the actual amount seems to be random. Like I have two different mushroom skewers and the inventory screen shows them as healing 2 different amounts of hearts

You know....after playing for a bit, I could actually see myself doing this. I would NEVER do it in most games (people talking about doing it in the Witcher are crazy), but the minimap here isn’t THAT helpful outside of having the waypoint arrows...And, most of the other info you need is pretty readily apparent from…

When cooking, is the amount of hearts you get random? Made a mushroom skewer with 1 mushroom and it would heal 4 hearts, but made another one with 2 mushrooms and got the same item out of it but it’d only heal 2 hearts

Same. I think it might be on the list of stuff people aren’t allowed to talk about before the embargo lifts and they post their actual reviews, and I’m sure not many people have actually put in enough time to play the whole story, but all the previews haven’t really mentioned the narrative or how tight it is. The fact…

I have a Switch preordered and don’t have a PS4 but I’d say the PS4 is a safer bet as of right now. There’s just no denying the number of exclusives out for it.

Nope, Nintendo France just clarified that today it doesn’t support Bluetooth headphones. Bummer

While I disagree with parts of your post, I do agree with the general sentiment. Kind of drives me crazy, because when people bring up the lack of a browser or video apps, people respond with “So? You have a million other devices that can do all that! And who even uses that stuff on a console?”

A French press outlet got to talk to the main Switch guys (the ones going around doing all the interviews) and they said yes but not sure if there may have been some translation issues. No one else has said anything about it so I’m a bit skeptical

Considering that they basically removed all features that make use of the GamePad, I don’t think that’s the case here. If they kept in all those features than I could see that argument being made but in interviews they said that the GamePad features actually distracted people from the game so they removed them

Also, do the joycons still connect wirelessly when used in handheld?

But… because I am impossible to please, I look at the Switch and I’m wondering: where’s the fun in this operating system?

The fine is stupid, but what exactly is supposed to be done here? Like...does the couple refuse to believe the police did anything because they didn’t arrest anyone? Outside of the (again) dumb fine, I’m not sure what the complaint is. Are the police supposed to canvas the neighborhood again but this time do a REALLY…

Just read this interview from the devs this morning. Man is Yoko Taro hilarious, like that one time he put out a video asking Atlus not to make their new RPG because it would overshadow Nier
