they fulfill the basic purpose of “two controllers come off of your handheld” kind of sort of well, like if you slide the top thing onto them and don’t grip too tight they’re basically alright for games that don’t have too many buttons
if you’re trying to play every single player game with a single joycon for some reason then yeah that sounds awful
No I’m talking about using both at once, with their tiny mushy buttons and flicky resistanceless sticks cradled in my sweaty palms. It’s a little better when you stick them on the wannabe-dualshock piece of plastic it comes with but jesus christ
by putting three or four headshots into them, then using the knife while they’re downed? trying to do it with firearms simply isn’t cost-effective, at least from what I’ve heard.
if you shoot their leg they will fall down after a shot or two and be temporarily incapacitated. you can then knife at their legs and chop a leg off for not a lot of knife cost. in this state they can slowly crawl around and still grab you but are much more manageable to run past.
a good strategy is to run from them where you can but in areas you know you’ll have to backtrack through that might have a lot of zombie congestion, try to kite them around and de-leg a few of them as your supplies permit so that traversal is safer. sometimes it’s worth killing them too, like if I have to cross a small area many times and it just has one or two zombies I might kill them just to make it simpler.
After recently finishing Final Fantasy XII on Switch, I’ve returned to Dragon Quest Builders. I restarted chapter 2 because it’s been over a year since I last played, and I didn’t care for what I previously built. This game is so pleasant. I’m having a good time building an apartment tower right now.
I’m still learning the intermediate track in Virtua Racer for Switch. So far my ranking is in the high 2000s.
I’m not big on playing games with my phone, but the touch controls in Real Racing 3 recently clicked, and now I’m obsessed with playing this game. But I still psychically filter out it’s efforts to extract money from me.
With a similar attitude to free-to-play structure, but with far less enthusiasm for the gameplay, I’ve been very slowly picking at Dr. Mario World. I think it’s boring.
I have a new laptop on the way for work stuff. But it has an Nvidia MX150 GPU, and I’m interested to see if it’ll run the free Forza Motorsport Apex. Maybe further down the line I’ll pick up a controller for it and try some other games. I wonder if it’ll run Control on low settings (I know nothing about PC gaming).
Resident Evil 2 (PS4): Every consumable in this game triggers the “too good to use/but what if I need it later?” reaction. It’s gotten to the point where I’ll sooner eat the death and reload my last save than use a knife to escape a grapple or a spray to heal myself.
While I play Breath of the Wild the thing that drives me nuts about the joycons is how stupid easy it is to accidentally hit the L3/R3 equivalents. It can really fuck you over!
I like the controller pretty well as a a handheld but it took me a few weeks to warm up to the overall feel at all.
The Messenger DLC is good. Distance makes me much warmer on the parts I like about The Messenger and forget how it becomes an unnecssary Metroidvania and doesn’t really do anything with the two art-styles. It also nearly destroyed my wrist and I am beginning to think that is an xbone controller problem more than a I am old problem.
