Dcharlie tweeted that he's got 232 games for the Switch now. Can't even do a LOL-

I think I'm missing a game or two, but I'm at about 196 games for this thing.

I would laff, but I'm the same way with the Vita. I'm up to 165 on it.

how is diablo if you don't care for multiplayer? It has the only WRPG fantasy setting that looks somewhat interesting to me thanks to the edge factor which reminds me of Blood Omen 1, so once every year or two I shortly think about maybe checking it out...

Its perfectly fine. I played D3 on Xbox singleplayer. Did a hardcore playthrough as well.

agrajag · « **Reply #3726 on:** August 16, 2018, 10:47:09 PM »

How do the controls work in Diablo 3? I remember playing the original Diablo on PC and you had to click on the enemies with a mouse pointer to attack them. I did not like that.

demi · « **Reply #3727 on:** August 16, 2018, 10:51:23 PM »

Its a hack and slash game on controller. Works very well

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #3728 on:** August 16, 2018, 10:51:40 PM »

It's fine as a single player game. I've played it that way primarily for years now.

...this better not be what they meant by "upcoming Diablo projects" tho

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #3729 on:** August 16, 2018, 11:17:39 PM »

Its ok but dont expect any challenge if you want to do a single playthrough, even on hardcore

paprikastaude · « **Reply #3730 on:** August 18, 2018, 01:15:47 PM »

What's with SEGA never getting 3rd party games for Megadrive rereleases. Hard Corps and Castlevania Bloodlines still have never been rereleased iirc.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #3731 on:** August 18, 2018, 01:18:31 PM »

Here’s hoping that it isn’t the usual Genesis shit

Positive Touch · « **Reply #3732 on:** August 18, 2018, 06:01:30 PM »

Sega collected some roms from 87-93 and said "good job; history preserved!" i mean ffs the only Sega cd game they released was ported by fans, and we're waiting on an hd release now that fans had to beg for for YEARS. it's fucking pitiful how little work these companies do to celebrate the work that made them.

Nintex · « **Reply #3733 on:** August 18, 2018, 07:35:53 PM »

Well, back in the day when Juji Naka became the rockstar of SEGA and Yu Suzuki was banned to the basement he burned everything that he didn't create.
Prior to that he had already destroyed the entire SEGA America archive for stealing the Nights engine for their Sonic game.

And when they finally chased Naka out of the company after Sonic 2006 he went ahead and burned everything he had created too.

Don't hire Juji Naka kids.

bork · « **Reply #3734 on:** August 18, 2018, 09:49:19 PM »

It's gonna be more of the same old, same old Genesis games (and hopefully some arcade games), but M2 is doing these ports which means they'll be worth checking out.

Tasty · « **Reply #3735 on:** August 18, 2018, 09:53:18 PM »

Checked out the MHGU demo. Beat the easy quest for now.

Feels like riding a bike. Been so long since I played the series (skipped Gen, so last game was 4U, but last time I played on a console was 2013 with 3U.)

I’ll probably pick up the full game. Wish Switch had World though.

kingv · « **Reply #3736 on:** August 19, 2018, 12:55:09 AM »

Muggy is way more limited than world, right?

Not so sure I could go and get used to that after starting on world.

Tasty · « **Reply #3737 on:** August 19, 2018, 01:49:58 AM »

It's zone based but that's always been fine.

...that's not exactly how it went. Yeah, Yuji Naka is a dick but Sega has no problem being incompetent without him.

Honestly, all Sega has to do for me is port Panzer Dragoon Saga. Yeah yeah, Burning Rangers, Return Of Death Adder and a thousand etc.'s but that is the most egregious one. Source code lost? Get the roms somewhere and work on it. But we all know that's never happening.

Yeah, Naka threw that on the ground and smashed it with his Ferrari, sorry.

A psbone slim used with up-to-date MH is cheaper than the next 3 old switch ports you buy.

So you can buy a used PS4 and Monster Hunter Word for $150?

paprikastaude · « **Reply #3741 on:** August 19, 2018, 12:20:48 PM »

I got a Slim for 250 one month after release, new ones last year were often 200 on Amazon. So I'd be surprised if there was no one who sells his old psbone for the price of 3x Diablo Switch.

Fifstar · « **Reply #3742 on:** August 19, 2018, 02:00:56 PM »

That MHGU demo ensured that I won't buy that game. Nothing is explained at all, graphics also suck. 30 fps and basically no lighting...

Maiden Voyage · « **Reply #3743 on:** August 19, 2018, 02:05:34 PM »

The opposite for me. First time I've touched a MH game and wanted to keep playing.

Yeah, I loaded that demo up once and it made sure I'm never playing a MH game again.

Starts off with a way too long animu FMV without any context
Makes you pick from some skill trees with zero context or explanation
Throws you into a level withoit any explanation of how the controls work or what you're supposed to do (besides killing monsters, obviously)
Controls/physics feel compeltely sluggish, feels like there is a lot of latency between pushing a button and your character reacting
Some random cat creatures are with you making annoying noises (once again, no explanation)
Terrible clipping, you can pretty much run through the tails of whatever dinosaurs you are fighting
The game is constantly loading

Nah, not for me.

Tasty · « **Reply #3746 on:** August 19, 2018, 05:09:46 PM »

I didn't see an animu FMV

agrajag · « **Reply #3747 on:** August 19, 2018, 05:33:30 PM »

The fucking fmv with the airships what else would you call that

Tasty · « **Reply #3748 on:** August 19, 2018, 05:46:57 PM »

Maybe I was high or I accidentally skipped it.

It starts with a sequnce aboard an air ship and another airship full of cat people crashes into it and then the ship gets attacked with some projectiles and it cuts off

Tasty · « **Reply #3750 on:** August 19, 2018, 05:55:10 PM »

Yeah, I have no clue what you're talking about.

For me it just skipped to the main menu.

Isn't that Monster Hunter World? lol

agrajag · « **Reply #3753 on:** August 19, 2018, 06:49:25 PM »

I swear the god that when I booted the demo that's what started playing. Maybe it was a trailer for MH World?

paprikastaude · « **Reply #3754 on:** August 19, 2018, 06:57:11 PM »

just type it into google holy fuck

Yeah I've never seen that video before.

I didn't see it either.

Bebpo · « **Reply #3758 on:** August 19, 2018, 10:07:23 PM »

Do your typical non-MHW games have a lot of tutorials to teach you how to play?

Thinking about picking up XX on Switch for flights, but I only know how to play the casual MHW, not normal MH.

Tasty · « **Reply #3759 on:** August 19, 2018, 10:09:28 PM »

4U had a ton of tutorials.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #3760 on:** August 20, 2018, 07:28:25 AM »

I put like 60 hours into MHW on PS4, shame Switch is getting old shit like this, MHW2 or bust

archie4208 · « **Reply #3761 on:** August 20, 2018, 07:37:03 AM »

I'm getting GU since it has a lot more content than World and I'll be able to play MH in bed.

Tasty · « **Reply #3762 on:** August 20, 2018, 11:26:51 AM »

Yeah I mean I don't understand Arts at all but the demo's scratching an itch at least.

agrajag · « **Reply #3763 on:** August 20, 2018, 11:56:45 AM »

Monster Boy looks like a great game

kingv · « **Reply #3764 on:** August 20, 2018, 12:22:13 PM »

I might check out this monhun demo. I pretty much liked world, but need to figure out how big of a departure it is from the zone games.

HardcoreRetro · « **Reply #3765 on:** August 20, 2018, 01:58:15 PM »

The Monster Hunter demos are probably the worst introduction to the game possible. They're basically for people that are already into the series.

The games themselves usually take a few hours to get you up to the first real monster bossfight. Most of the early quests are just there to teach you the mechanics.

Tasty · « **Reply #3766 on:** August 20, 2018, 02:49:25 PM »

Yeah don't play the demo if you don't like MH.

If you're neutral, give it a try with the expectation that it will teach you 0% of the mechanics and is basically three standalone boss fights.

Tasty · « **Reply #3767 on:** August 20, 2018, 02:54:58 PM »

IGN: Venerable Japanese RPG series Grandia is coming to Switch this winter. According to a statement by publisher GungHo, Grandia and Grandia II HD Remaster are both heading to Nintendo’s hybrid handheld.

Switch is saved

Corporal · « **Reply #3770 on:** August 20, 2018, 04:29:07 PM »

I for one am looking forward to that. Playing Grandia 2 on my Laptop, even with a 360 controller, wasn't fun.

...and yeah, Monhan demo is Monhan. You either know what you're getting into, or you get roflstomped like the newb you are. Still extremely unenthusiastic about buying a humongously late, overpriced, lazily uprezzed 3DS game, ages after MHW has released. Sigh. But I bought Go Vacation and a whole host of other sloppy portjobs, so...

Tasty · « **Reply #3771 on:** August 20, 2018, 04:36:19 PM »

The only thing that kills me about MHGU is the non-rescaled UI elements.

Like some on, even the Smash Ultimate N64 stages are getting more love than that.

kingv · « **Reply #3772 on:** August 20, 2018, 05:25:50 PM »

I still kind of expect a version of world to be ported over.

I’m sure it’s possible to make some kind of struggle mud texture version work on switch.

In addition to the Switch release, Grandia HD Remaster will also be coming to Steam, joining Grandia II – which is already for sale on the service. A demo of Grandia II HD Remaster will be playable at PAX West 2018.

Bebpo · « **Reply #3775 on:** August 20, 2018, 06:11:51 PM »

1 is waaaaaaaay better than 2 outside being dated.

1 has Ghibli epic adventure, great art, good combat, really good music
2 has great combat, great graphics and shitty story
3 has geat combat, great graphics and even shittier story
Xtreme has the best combat/gameplay, ok graphics, and no story

I prefer 1 > Extreme > 2 > 3

Beezy · « **Reply #3776 on:** August 20, 2018, 06:12:16 PM »

Chill, 3 was amazing... gameplay-wise. I do hope we get another Grandia game someday though.

Never played Xtreme and I only played 1 on an emulator for like 3 hours.

Bebpo, 2 had great music also.

Bebpo · « **Reply #3777 on:** August 20, 2018, 06:15:11 PM »

Haha, I like 2&3. I actually think they're all great. But the stories/characters were kinda junk in 2/3/Xtreme. 1 actually has a legit good story/cast. It's a bit like Xenogears/Trails of the Sky.

It's pretty dated though like XG and other PS1 rpgs. I'd kill for an actual remake of Grandia 1.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #3778 on:** August 20, 2018, 06:33:56 PM »

Grandia II was lit on Dreamcast. I remember being disappointed I leveled the evil version of the chick so much and then lost access to her or something like that

tiesto · « **Reply #3779 on:** August 20, 2018, 06:44:35 PM »

Wish that we'd get a re-translation of Grandia courtesy of Gaijinworks.

And I hope eventually we'll get remasters of Xtreme, III, and hell throw in Parallel Trippers while we're at it.
