A lot of people seems to love that you can have each hand wherever you want when playing (even though not using the joycons in any gimmicky way), so I guess the separate batteries feel worth it for them. Unless you can get the joycons powered wirelessly somehow =PQuote:

So wait, are you too saying charisma has no affect on interest in a person? Or that everyone likes TFA yet 2 other people on one page already said they don't like it? And I sorry I don't have any Nintendo Switch gouging stories as yourself.Quote:

I mean, for those who don't have a next gen console yet, would you choose the Switch over X-Bone or PS4?Quote:

The switch for me is a portable, I will get it once it has a decent price for a portable. I don't care that the joy cons come out, I will always use it like a big PSP or in the dock with the pro controller.
Zelda? I have made my way to a certain laboratory and the backstory told seems reminiscent to Yoda, Obi Wan, etc..,
^no spoilers please ;)
In Switch news, it's £65 for a controller.
My interest is literally at fucking zero right now.
^I didn't know you lived in the UK.
We should hang out, and not play video games.Quote:

It's like a big goiter or cancerous tumor smack in the middle of the back of the controller. What were they thinking with that? My ideal controller would be the XB1 design, but with 6 face buttons instead of 4. Do away with the bumpers and make them actual face buttons.
The PS DS4 controller is ok I guess, but I'm not crazy about the more perpendicular wings in comparison to the DS3 design. It makes my hands feel more cramped over time, latgely due to the close proximity of the directional sticks.

Right on time when Nintendo starts selling Switch bundles. ;)Quote:

He also stated thay Nintendo prefers you use first party accessories so that you refrain from breaking your Switch.
Around here, you say "West Midlands", and all it sounds like is a general region on planet Earth. Sorry, was I supposed to know it was a county? :?Quote:

I barely have any free time to keep playing new shit and the cost adds up. It's annoying.Quote:

My videogame burnout aren't that frequent, considering I can binge pretty hard on them sometimes with a lot of free time on my hand too. But hard as I can binge on games, I barely play any new games compared to how much I replay games I really enjoy. Like right now, it feels like I've been eating, sleeping and breathing Dark Souls games for past month. And I've already replayed and put in countless hours into this series.
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is coming to the Nintendo Switch.

What do you do for a living that allows you enought free time to binge on games? And why don't you spend your free time doing something more constructive? For Christ's sake, Canada has some of the most pristine wilderness on the planet, why are you not taking advantage of it?Quote:

Stop deflecting and answer my question. I'm about as miserable as some one who barely plays video games should be. So, why don't you answer my question about your work status? Or are you an on the dole loving dipshit as most sensible people would believe you to be. Come on, prove me wrong, what do you do for a living? I'm a small business owner myself, or don't you have the balls you half-tard Canadian fuk-wit?Quote:

And some people just don't like going out. I bet somebody could complain that spending time in the wilderness is just as unproductive when you could be doing something else like building stuff or the like. The argument can go for just about anything done for leisure.
How many times do I have to tell you im not Canadian and do absolutly nothing for a living before it gets through that thick skull of yours?Quote:

I will, you dole sucking nitwit.Quote:

Sul, you're not exactly head scratcher proof either. But anyway, I had some time to kill and just watched that hcg zelda final though vid I linked last page. And some interesting things were brought up. Like he thought the game was hard and that he almost gave up after an entire day of not making any progress.
It's touching that you care so much about how he spends his free time, but the insults kill the mood. Keep it civilized or you'll have plenty of free time from the boards to engage in something more constructive.Quote:

Fitness? This is a video game forum.
I like to believe everyone here weighs like 300lbs. I know that isn't true but what fun are stereotypes if you don't abide by them.
so... anyone play bomberman r yet? is it as good as mega bomberman?
I know nobody here plays online games or communicates with other gamers, but does anyone have the slightest idea of how Nintendo is handling online environment (interface, communications, user friendliness, menu speeds, party voice/text chat, being able to even send simple pm msgs and all that sort) this time around? And I honestly don't care for paying for this service, I prefer it, so long as my money is paying for higher quality standards.
west-midlands is a region in england (part of uk). don't people get geography on schools anymore?Quote:

It's a tiny county dude. Take it down a notch. It's not like you know every county in the U.S. either.Quote:
