I think the verdict is still out. A lot of people (me included) bought the Switch at launch because it’s a great peice of hardware. However it’s gathered dust ever since. I occasionally pull it out to play some MK8 but if it doesn’t start getting a better selection of games soon, then it’s not going to maintain it’s…

The Expanse is pretty good, Dark Matter is also pretty good, for different reasons. If you only have the time to watch one, go with The Expanse, of course, but you will be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t watch Dark Matter too.

We will never see those cost savings. We have already established $60 as the base-line for a AAA title.

As others have pointed out, you get in combat quite early on. Other than that though, this is the nature of RPG games. Its a slow boil. They are long games ~40-60 hours so it will generally take 10% of that (an educated estimate based on playing many, many, RPGs, not backed up by hard data) to get enough of the…

I feel you. As a MTG player that has played since (almost) the beginning, I regularly find myself just giving up on the game. I return a couple years later in hopes that things have gotten better, only to find out they have gotten worse.

Two things. One, by the time “everything is digital” it will be time to up the price of games anyway to account for inflation, so you will never see a reduction, you just might not see an increase for awhile. Two, I would pay $60 for a physical copy of a game that costs $1 digital. Digital is worth precisely…

Thats a bit hyperbolic for sure. Yes Day 1 patches are more common, and often have a lot of fixes, features, or content; but the games are generally 100% playable without them. In fact I often forget to install Day 1 patches until I’ve played quite a bit of the game, and don’t generally notice much of a difference.

I agree, though I would take that a step further and say the worst thing about any competitive game is the meta. I despise the term “meta” and once someone brings up that term in a conversation, I pretty much ignore everything they say after that.

I understand where you are coming from, but disagree.

I cannot agree more. I am really trying to like it, since there isnt much else for the Switch at the moment, but its bland and boring. I am exactly in the same relative place in the game as you, and I find that I get more enjoyment out of 10 mins with Blaster Master than 6 hours with BotW. I havent picked it up in…

If the company you are applying for is going to try and treat you like garbage so much that you already feel the need to hide information from them, you should probably reconsider working there.

They are hard plastic, in fact its part of the same molded plastic as the rest of the unit with no seam. It even scratches like plastic (I did a small scratch test to verify) its absolutely plastic with no rubber at all except for the landing area.

I waited to reply until I could verify with mine and others and they are absolutely, positively, 100% NOT RUBBER. They are made of the exact same material as the outer hard shell. There is a very very small rubber part at the bottom, almost a “landing pad” of sorts but the entire rail is solid, hard, plastic.

I was very disappointed by the games released on the WiiU. I bought it not long after launch, and sold it after I got my Switch, with all 3 games that I bought for it in the last 3+ years. It was a PoS.

Additionally, I went home last night, and docked/undocked about 10 times (slowly and carefully), and every single time it hit the sides of the dock.

I would completely agree with you if, and only if, this was not a glaringly obvious potential problem. Sure, maybe this only affects a small number, or maybe too many have a screen protector so the actual number isn’t known right now, or maybe it won’t happen to the majority until everyone has had it for 3-4 months,…

I actually have a Switch, and I watch it very closely when I dock it, and it comes _very_ close to touching (and sometimes does) no matter how careful I am. I don’t let anyone in my house dock/undock the switch until I get a screen protector because of this.

I dont “think” its true, as a fellow Switch owner, I know its true. I watch the Switch _very_ _very_ carefully when I dock it, and even then, even pretending I am playing a game of Operation, it hits the sides of the dock more often than not.

In the many years that I have seen short stock launches, I have seen turn around in as early as a few days to a week (if they have enough held back for replacements, and not a lot of replacements) and I have seen months. Months isn’t an exaggeration, its based on real world observation, but it is the far end of the…

Its simple physics. The friction of plastic rubbing on plastic.
