Gg, dod you try out the mouse mode on Cyberpunk?
Very briefly.
Without a joycon shell or silicon grip it's just not comfortable to use.
Also I didn't realise but the framerate seems to be a limiter on how fast you can move the mouse pointer or gyro. The game is 100% smooth when using analogue sticks for aiming and turning.
But with the gyro set too high and with the mouse mode, super fast wrist movements are too fast for the framerate to keep up.
I guess there's a reason Prime 4 was displayed in 120hz mode.
But you can tune the sensitivity in Cyberpunk to get the perfect feeling, just dialing the sensitivity to what feels good.
TBH I feel like gyro is just as good and easier to use anyway. Most of the time you don't even need to ADS.
It's quite funny the aiming tutorial saying you should ADS to hot these targets and after 19 years of pointer aiming I can just casually take out all the targets without needing ADS.
One problem I'm having in game is sniper rifles, because I would shoot someone and there was no effect.
I didn't realise but each rifle has a different shooting distance. So even if you have someone in your sights, if the reticle isn't red he's out of your range.
No perceptible difference. But I did used to play it with Mclassic.
However, wow the load times are so fast, the percentage bar just leaps up in a couple of seconds. Makes it less annoying when you die.
Also tried Observer, really good walking Simulator science fi game by Bloober team. It still looks atrocious docked.
The only way I could play this before was handheld.
This weekend was like last, tons of Tears of the Kingdom and a good bit of Mario Kart World.
I've mostly been playing Phantasy Star (SMS). I believe I'm somewhere around the last quarter of the game now.
This weekend I finished The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remake and played some Mario Kart World, Capcom Fighting Game Collection 2, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Remastered, and Star Wars Battlefront II
Been playing Simcity 3000, Vampire Survivors and Spongebob Squarepants game.
Sonic sales figures leak. Some of these look downright pathetic, especially the Yakuza (Like a Dragon) ones.
According to the document, Persona 5 Royal has sold over 7 million units. Sonic Frontiers has sold some 4.5 million copies, and recent Yakuza titles Infinite Wealth and Like A Dragon have shifted 1.66 million and 2.86 million.
I was always too grumpy about it to get the expansion pack stuff.
But now I have access to it, there's quite a bit I managed to download.
Got the Zelda Switch 2 editions, the N64 and GC games service.
And the Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing expansions.
Funny that TOTK doesnt look any better played on the Switch 2 screen? The resolution seems low? I have a funny feeling it's still running in 720p Switch 1 mode.
BOTW looks native 1080p played off screen now.
Mario Odyssey patched and played offscreen looks clearly sharper.
But TOTK looks excellent on the tv now. It's always had this white washed out look so it's not got searing colour or anything, but it's a lot sharper and smoother now.
I tried the MATURE N64 games, hilariously hidden on the main Switch online page. You have to find it on the eshop.
It's got Turok 1 and 2, Shadow Man and Perfect Dark.
I can't play either turok or Perfect Dark anymore the controls break my brain. N64 games used to use the left stick to move and rotate and the c buttons, now the right stick are for strafing, and for looking up and down... with a C button.
But Goldeneye seemed fine when I tweaked a few things.
No DK64 on switch online?
The 2D text is hilariously pixellated though.
Pretty cool how so many, even ass old Nintendo N64 games are still playable and fun. I never bought MK64 because of the rubber banding but I enjoyed the track I just played, looking forward to exploring more.
BTW on Mario Kart World on Mario circuit, you can enter all the green pipes in free roaming, for hidden stuff.
Also in free roaming you can press Y to pull up the map and click on other characters to warp there and switch to them.
The area north between Peach circuit.and Moo moo meadows is my favourite during the day. Rolling green grass, hay bales and wandering cows.
You couldn't use green pipes before? You can also press plus on the title screen and jump right into free roam. That's something I never noticed until this past week. :s
To be fair, that one Like a Dragon game that sold under a million was released as digital only in the west. I'm not sure if a physical copy got released in Japan. At any rate, Sega played it off like it wasn't an important game, but more as something to satisfy fans who wanted more of Kiryu and not the new main character. It did get reviewed well though so I don't think it was a mailed in game.
But the whole series is going the path of Assassins Creed with yearly installments. I know it's a sound business strategy, but I think it always leads to diminishing returns.
I remember when 100K sales were considered a huge success. Investment groups, bloated budgets and unrealistic sales expectations are dooming this industry. *Waves cane angerly*
