    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    It's what people were asking for though - a Netflix type subscription for retro games. The old Virtual Console way was pretty damn expensive - $10/game in some cases.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    They aren't saying Classic games aren't coming to the Switch. They already announced 20 NES games on the subscription service with SNES games coming. Not to mention all the older games from other publishers that have already been released on the eShop as Arcade Collections. The important part...

    MTG thread

    Mana flood/screw is one of the few things that keeps paper MTG from being Chess, and is low key one of the reasons the game has lasted for over 20 years at this point while every competitor that has tried to "fix" that part of the game has flamed out. Card games need some form of RNG to keep the...

    What looks odd about it to you? I can explain it some. Most of the deck revolves around Raff Capashen and only playing spells on your opponents turns.

    What did you just read?

    Night Angel/Brent Weeks is great, his follow up series Lightbringer is even better. It's still ongoing. Some other great series to check out: Broken Empire/Red Queen's War trilogies (same universe) and Book of the Ancestor trilogy by Mark Lawrence Powder Mage trilogy and Gods of Blood and...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    The entire online system is pretty barebones because DeNA has been building a completely new one since before the Switch was even was announced. I assume it will launch concurrently with the paid online subscription stuff in the Fall. Hopefully it includes the Virtual Console, Twitch, YouTube...

    I mean the Switch is on pace to surpass the Wii in sales at this point. Once Pokemon is released it's over.

    I'm pretty sure they still use Cartamundi here in the USA for printing. Their factory is here in Dallas somewhere.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I play a Beastlord on Phinigel, and have a mage box. At 70 with the best pet focus (Boots from Anguish) the BL pet's max hit is about 15 less than a Mage's water pet (~112 vs ~127), but Water pet's backstab pulls it way ahead. Beastlord DPS is pretty underwhelming still, although with Depths of...

    Monster Hunter: World

    SnS is one of the best weapons for afflicting status effects because it's builds per hit and not damage. I'd craft Paralyze tree also.

    Monster Hunter: World

    You can solo the whole game - the story quests that are the first part of the game are all meant to be soloed. A lot of people do that. I find the most fun doing the hunts in a party but not required.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I think Artillery is specifically tailored to explosive style ammo. So Gunlance alt fire, Crag Shot ammo, and Charge Axe impact phials. Hopefully Kiranico makes a MHW database but the MH4 one should have pretty accurate skill information for returning skills: Artillery - MH4U - Kiranico -...

    We got console MH releases and they failed, which is why they moved to PSP and 3DS.

    Monster Hunter: World

    It's easy to try them all. If this is your first MH game, I'd suggest Sword and Shield/Hammer/Great Sword.

    Can only Chysamere invite to squad? I'll be on a bit more this afternoon but heading to Houston for a MTG tournament so won't be back on until Sunday-ish. I got through the first couple quests last night. It's annoying not being able to join someone's Story quest when you are on the same step...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I've played a lot of Monster Hunter but definitely wouldn't say I'm a pro. The "pros" are the ones that do the entire online portion of the game solo. It's hard to lose a battle as 4 people, so long as you prioritize surviving instead of doing damage.

    Got some early draws which screwed us in the SCG Dallas Open, but we did get to take the best team in the room (Jim Davis/Todd Stevens/Jody Keith) out of contention in a match on camera in Round 5, so it was fun.

    JRPGs

    There were no jobs. Everyone just had the big license board - it was super confusing and easy to gimp a character. With Zodiac they cut the board up into 12 classes (hence the Zodiac name), with each character getting to choose two. Added the ability to speed up combat/overworld. The PS4/PC...

    The reviews from the hands-on event in NYC seem to be pretty positive, but again, it's aimed at kids. Also, you are paying for the software. The extra ~$10 is for the cardboard and plans. Nintendo has said they will provide the plans for free later so you'll be able to make them with whatever...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    You mean other games have backwards control schemes from Nintendo, since they had been using that scheme for a decade before any competitors. Also in Japan the PS4 still follows that scheme. For some reason Sony USA flipped it for the PS2? in the 90s and Microsoft copied it for the Xbox.

    Every game studio does this. They can do it because there are scores of people wanting to get in the industry. These programmers could get a similar paying job in almost any other industry that is less stressful, but they put up with it.

    Demon Souls publishing situation is fucked. I think 3 different companies handled it for different parts of the world. It's ultimately up to Sony though.

    It's in development, probably for a couple years at this point. Ultra Sun/Moon was done by a younger team within GameFreak. Real news is that Xbox beat the PS4 for the first, and last time, in 2017.

    The Retro studio of today isn't the same Retro that made the Prime games. Most of those guys are working at Armature Studios now. So Prime 4 had to be done by a new team.
