Switch! (Part 1)

I want to play it and I have great expectation, but I started it yesterday and the frame rate issues are really bad. I hope they put out a patch soon.

apparently not entirely fixed even with overclocking on hacked units

one guy is saying underclocking can lock it at 30fps

So anyone who likes Zelda but has already decided they won’t be buying this LA remake because they already played the original and are fine with that should still look up the ending to this one. It’s neat.

How do people have this game already? Also, does it add anything new to the original besides that dungeon creation thing?

I think just a new secret boss. I don’t actually have it since I’m the person described in my post.

look at you people

caring mildly about a game you’ve already played to death because it’s on the Switch

why not get hyped for Overwatch next month like me?

Overwatch, is bad

It’s the WoW of team objective shooters

And I know WoW

and yet here we are, playing a 15 year old game

I’m going to buy that dumb game again and no one can stop me

Excuse me? Oh no, now I care

it’s you getting prefab pieces from playing through the game and sticking them together and the way to share them is with Zelda franchise amiibos

Womp!

60 dolalrs everybody

I mean it’s a remarkable piece of work. The game looks absolutely gorgeous, but at the same time incredibly faithful to the original game.

It’s absolutely worth 60 dollars, it just isn’t a thing I can justify to myself. To a person who can afford it and has never played one of the best Zelda games of all time? Yeah that’s a different story.

Yeah, the conversation about what things are worth always gets interesting/weird around things like this.

imho to figure out how much the remake is worth you need to count how many non-respawning rupees the game has and then apply the appropriate exchange rate to that number

you should get your name set to THIEF if you pirate the game

Wow the Grid Autosport port is amazingly well done.

1080p docked and 720p hanheld with three graphics modes:

  • 30fps quality mode, which looks incredible for the Switch. (Anecdotally, I think it sapped my original-model Switch’s battery from 80–29% in about an hour.)
  • 60fps peformance mode, which eliminates depth of field effects and simplifies lighting and shadows (as far as I can tell), but still looks very sharp.
  • 30fps battery saver mode, which seems graphically identical to performance mode but at a lower framerate.

If you can connect a Gamecube Controller to your Switch, the game will recognize the analogue triggers.

I still need to fiddle around with driving assists to find my sweet spot.

I’ve been playing a lot of Forza Motorsport 7 recently, but after just two races in Grid, I can already see that Grid’s career mode is way more engaging than Forza’s. Grid gives me qualifying laps, sponsors, sponsorship objectives, a teammate racing in a separate car, and a manager who gives me status updates during the race. It even tells me what day of the week the race is on. Races feel like events, and I feel like I’m striving toward something. In Forza I’m just racking up points in a mishmash of races, and it doesn’t really matter how I well I race—eventually I’ll collect enough points to move on.

(These are the things I do like better in Forza: detailed cockpits, working mirrors, glorious rain.)

things have no inherent value other than the one you attach to them

find your line, walk it proudly, blow raspberries at anyone mocking it

this right here is worth at least a hundred bucks
