    Still no word on Hollow Knight's Switch port either. I've held off buying it on PC this long though.

    I'm actually not interested in the Dark Souls remaster if they are porting it to DS3 engine and changing the combat. I prefer DS1's combat system. Hopefully the Switch version is just stable 30 fps (including Blighttown) with no combat changes. I heard that FROM is remastering the Switch...

    Zodiac Age fixes all of the issues with the original US release. Bumps it up to 2nd best FF of all time for me. If you haven't played it on PS4 yet, grab it on PC.

    Why did you say Wii U Pro Controller, that's a completely different thing from the Switch Pro Controller. Don't buy a Wii U one expecting it to work on the Switch.

    Dark Souls

    That would be up to Sony I think. FROM isn't pushing this Dark Souls remaster either, it's Bamco, who own the rights. I'm not even sure how involved FROM is with remastering the game - Bandai is capable of remastering a game on their own. Pretty sure Miyazaki has said wouldn't be a part of...

    Dark Souls

    Does PC and XB1 crossplay in Dark Souls games? If so I'm sure Switch will be included in that pool.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    The orbs spinning around just correlate with the arte level in the bottom right - it's just the easiest way they could show you your team mates arte level since it's not visible to you during battle otherwise. There is a 4th level but that doesn't matter for the combos. The arte/skill combos...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Switch doesn't have VC yet though, so those games don't exist there to give you. This is the first system Nintendo has done without backwards comparability in a long time - which in the end will be a good thing I think. Having hardware BC in all their old systems is what was holding them back...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    We used a monk/SK to position a pet near Emp then cothed them out and sic'd pet on Emp. There's a room you can do it in on the first floor where you can see Emp Room through the ceiling. This gets around the adds respawning because they just respawn upstairs. You'll need more than one key - at...

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    Some of the later bosses, including the last boss plus post-game bosses, require doing a chain attack with 3-5+ orbs. Which means lots of switching blades, and having good setups. They require it because they have crazy enrage abilities once they get lower life so you need to chain attack kill...

    This is all just setting up the Tron ban from Modern. Or maybe Blood Moon. After R/G tron dominated next PT. I wish they would just ban all of 9th edition. Tron, Blood Moon, Bridge all gone.

    New Animal Crossing and a Smash 4 port are a lock. Bamco is still working on something Smash related these last few months and it wasn't DLC. Sakurai/Sora Ltd probably taking a break until the next new Smash. He really needs the break. Or maybe he's been working on a new Kid Icarus game. Really...

    We didn't know most of the Switch 2017 lineup until the January direct either. They should be announcing a big Direct any day now, the rumor is it's scheduled for January 11.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    Food gives same affinity favorite or not. It's actually better to use pouch items that isn't a favorite of any blade equipped so you can spam it without anyone saying unskippable dialogue. Do some googling but there are pouch items are give 18-21 affinity each. What is blocking you exactly?

    Next game Monolithsoft is working on is a new IP supposedly, but now they have an easy sequel to XC2 or XBX lined up - or both.

    They hit the last chapter out of the park. Great ending. Think it passed Persona 5 for most enjoyable JRPGs I played this year. 1. XB2 2. Persona 5 3. FF12 Zodiac Age 4. Nier

    Tora is a better tank in the end, and his 3rd blade is the best damage. But it takes ALOT of grinding Tiger! Tiger! The boss theme is so great.

    I'm playing Standard for my team at the SCG Open in Dallas on January 20, after being mostly focused on Modern since qualifying in October for the next RPTQ. Hope the new set shakes things up but I assume I'll be playing Sultai Energy with very few changes. Our only hope is there are just some...

    This happens on Christmas every year for one or all the networks it seems. Had the same issue with PS4 2 years ago. Tip: If you are getting a console for someone as a Xmas gift, patch that shit ahead of time.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    You don't need to kill every encounter you come across, that's tedious. Just run past them. Especially if you are doing sidequests and resting in the inn, you'll be overleveled anyways.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Switch with another ~220k sold in Japan this week. Will easily put it at 3 million sold by the end of the year - so only 9 months to get nearly to Wii U's lifetime sales in Japan, and half of PS4's.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    I found the place where it spawns earlier when exploring. The quest icon shows where it is on the map you just have to figure out the route to get to it. Main ones I've had issues with are the sidequests that want salvaged materials which I've mostly neglected.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    It automatically lowers the resolution of the game (from 1080p to anywhere below 600p) to keep the frame rate high, then adjusts the resolution back up when less things are going on. It makes textures look rough when its happening, but during combat/action when it's mostly used it's hard to...

    Those numbers have been disputed (but not the order) by NPD officials, so we'll see next week for sure when they get released. Wouldn't be that surprising though. Both PS4 and Xbox had huge discounts. Even if it comes in 3rd, selling 800k-1mil in November would be a good result. PS4 has been a...

    They are pretty much the same in the first 9 months, although that included Thanksgiving and Christmas for PS4. The last 3 weeks + 1-2 weeks of January are usually big sales periods for consoles/video games, so we'll see. By March of 2018 Nintendo expects to have sold 16.7 million consoles - and...

    Switch battery life can last longer (or less) than 3 hours depending on the game. I've got one of those Anker power packs for trips - if you get a good one the Switch actually gains charge while plugged into one.

    I believe Sanderson said that Stormlight Archive will be broken up into two 5-book series. Maybe there will be some time pass on Roshar in between those. He is supposed to be working on the a new Mistborn trilogy in between those 5-book series.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    That Ape NM is always in the first open world area of every Xenoblade game. Always with a set path so pretty easy to avoid if you pay attention. They made it harder to tell what monster will aggro you in this game compared to past, but in general herbivore type animals won't attack you. Mostly...

    Buy the Blade Shackle accessories for the Chapter 3 fight. Also focus on just one of the two enemies - once you get one to 50% it becomes easy.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    The undocked version is really unoptimized, expect some patches for it. For instance, it still uses the docked lightning, 3D grass, and full quality ambient occlusion. They could drop all that for the portable mode and get huge gains, no one would notice it missing on a 720p screen. Seems like...

    JRPGs

    Atlus makes no sense. SMT has mostly been Nintendo exclusive and Persona has been Sony exclusive. The only reason I can see at this point is they think the fanbases for both are concentrated in those ecosystems and there is little crossover.

    JRPGs

    Nintendo owns Monolithsoft wholly. There's no payment to keep it exclusive. It's no different than Uncharted 4, HZD, or Halo. Exclusives help sell systems, and it's really the only major strength that Nintendo has over Microsoft and Sony besides portability.
