    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Neither does the Switch. The only thing that has been said to require a second device is voice chat. Both Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for example have both matchmaking, lobby, and party systems within the game.

    Hearthstone

    I got 4 unique legendaries in 98 packs. It's just RNG.

    What did you just read?

    Sins of Empire by Brian McClellan (a Sanderson protege) - his second series in his Powder Mage universe. Heavily recommend it, but I'd read the first trilogy first - it's got a very unique Magic system just like Sanderson settings. Amazon.com: Sins of Empire (Gods of Blood and Powder) eBook...

    Hearthstone

    There's a control version with just the Quest and Deathwing basically to end the game. 12/12 and 2 imps every turn. Otherwise it's just a control warlock deck.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Switch has basically sold every console that Nintendo has delivered to stores up to this point. It's supply-constrained, so there isn't really any conclusions you can make from it either way. By this time for the Wii U (6 weeks), it's sales had already started to nosedive because it had no...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I just don't see whose going to buy the Scorpio outside of hardcore Xbox fans. They lost a lot of exclusives this year and the ones they have remaining won't even be truly exclusive going forward - it will all be coming out on PC.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    New patch just released - supposedly big framerate improvement in a certain Forest.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Pretty happy with the hardware itself. The build quality (besides the Dock) is much higher than the 3DS line. The 720p screen looks great - although I personally wish they went with glass over plastic (I know why they didn't, glass doesn't scratch but it will shatter). I've had no scratching...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Where's the Turian female romance scene?

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    There's a way you can get bugged Blood Moons (I've heard people seeing them like 5 times in 30 minutes), but in general they should only happen every few hours. I mostly avoided open world combat and only saw maybe 8 Blood Moons in my entire play through. As for the dungeons/bosses, I agree a...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Not saying they don't deserve the criticism. Just that no one should have had expectations this would be as good as ME2, or even ME3.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    It's the Blood Moons that cause the scaling. The more overworld creatures you kill, the more Blood Moons you get - every time a Blood Moon happens it respawns the overworld (monsters, plants, ore, etc), and the monsters spawn as a higher level version. For instance, Bokoblins go from orange ->...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Rock Paper Shotgun review: Ouch. Gotta remember that this isn't the same Bioware that made the first 3 Mass Effect games. Most of those guys don't even work for Bioware anymore. It's a completely new sub-studio that EA made.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The voice acting and facial animations are worse than Horizon, and the models look like plastic. TFWTired | hosted on webmshare

    Hylian set has no bonus. It's just good AC and is easy to upgrade.

    I mean, if you post that review on Reddit and 10k+ people all try to view it at once that can look like a DDOS.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I don't have an issue with his review, but it's kind of obvious he released it a couple days before his weekly video just so he could make a video about it. That's just Sterling's shtick.

    DOTA 2

    Seems like the same 15 heroes in every region getting picked. Centaur, Slardar, Earth/Ember Spirit, Warlock, Rubick, Jugg, Lone Druid, KOTL, Slark, Sven, Invoker. Ogre Magi seems the highest pick rate though.

    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    Parsons tore up his knee again. Giving Barnes the max after Parsons opted out of his Mavs deal is looking better and better.

    It's just rotating a controller in like 3 shrines out of 120, don't have to stand up at all, or really move for that matter.

    Pretty integral part of VR, don't see them dying out any time soon.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Pretty sure all Zelda games have been 30 FPS or lower (OOT was 20fps), felt normal for a Zelda game.

    Nah they still make most their revenue off hardware. They have no reason to stop making it.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    4 years/$17 mil is kind of a steal for him though. He was projected to get almost double that.

    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    Do you know who won a championship while staying on the same team his whole career and had no All-Star team mates the year they won it? Oh and he also only had team mates with 6 All-Star appearances combined his whole career. Also he scored 30k points. #GhostFaceDrillah

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'm pretty sure the kickstand was just something they threw in the design at the end instead of just a normal cover for the SD slot. The tabletop mode doesn't really jive with the rest of the design (having the dock/power cord at the bottom). It's pretty obvious they started with it sliding in...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Basically, my PS4 will just randomly eject any physical media in it - it's bad enough I don't even bother buying anything but digital. Sometimes in the middle of the night the PS4 will wake up and just start trying to eject a disc that's not even there, all the while doing that annoying beeping...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I mean it's the same as Xbox fans denying RROD was widespread, or the PS4 disc ejection issue (which I've still never been able to fix on mine). People who have invested money into the console are going to defend it within reason.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    It's pretty much all cosmetic though. The only real exclusive that's "better" than in game equivalent is Epona - you can get horses similar to her but she always has Gentle temperament.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Nintendo has had the same 4-button layout since the SNES though, nearly 27 years now. It does take a few minutes of getting used to when switching between Nintendo and Sony systems in the same day though.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    My main complaint with the game is too much combat with humans. It's really lame compared to dino fighting.

    The Xbox 1 Wireless controller uses batteries though doesn't it? The Switch Pro controller has a 40 hour battery life.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Horizon I liked combat more and graphics are better obviously, Zelda is a better open world. Horizons doesn't have the physics engine and it's still too Ubisoft-ish (AssCreed/Far Cry), but not bad enough to be turned off of it. Definitely looking forward to more games in the Horizon...

    I don't think you are meant to kill it. You can just sneak around and pick up all the arrows you need. I didn't kill it until later when I had 10+ hearts.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    This sounds really corny, but it feels more like an adventure than a game. Like when Skyrim came out, except you literally do and climb anything you can think of. The physics system is amazeballs, it seems like there is 10 solutions to every problem/fight.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I've been playing all day and i've only uncovered about 5% of the map, and I passed by so many things I want to go check out still but am trying to push the main quest along a bit.

    I've been to Kakariko Village, but it was raining so heavily it was hard to tell. The few times I've noticed it, it's just not hurting my enjoyment of the game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Haven't noticed any frame drops while playing docked to be honest, outside of the heavily forested area in the first area when rotating the camera. I've downloaded both patches before I started to play mind you so they could have fixed it some.
