Just took me ages to do an investigation as I'd missed something really obvious. Was stuck on 85% for bloody ages.

Fair one, it certainly won’t hurt. I just honestly haven’t played a single game where the handheld performance differs a lot from the docked, but I know they exist.

I find Rocket League tough in handheld as I just don’t think it was made for such a small screen. Stuff like that should probably get a mention, but I can see how a reviewer would omit a mention of handheld performance as you often can’t see much of a difference.

Can't wait to see what others think of this. Probably the most fun Ive had in a platinum game since Metal Gear Rising. Just when you think you've probably seen it all from a gameplay perspective, it goes and mixes things up again. The combat is sublime. Some of the combos are fantastic. Pretty intuitive to control both yourself and your legion.

Glad you're having fun with it @Addy__. Can't wait for my copy to drop on Friday.

Do I get this, knowing that I’ll enjoy it more than fire emblem or do I force myself to finish fire emblem.

I wrote off FE, and a couple of friends are struggling to finish it as well. If youre close then see it through, but if you're 10 hours into it like I was then it's probably not worth forcing yourself through it.

@ZuluHero

I’m upset that I don’t like it that much. I was so looking forward to it.

But every chance I have to play my Switch I don’t feel bothered.

Do you think this will actually be playable on a commute? The exploration sections should be fine, but I am not sure the joycons will be up to the action sections?

(I find playing Bayonetta handheld is a nightmare, not because of the screen size or anything, but because of the amount of fast and extreme controller input needed...)

Deleted user 29 August 2019 17:22:16

@RelaxedMikki

It's fine in handheld mode. Probably done around 6 hours all in portable.

It’s not. Turns out it’s arriving tomorrow.

Fuck.

Edit: Now they’re saying Saturday. WTF? I know the whole tracking system went kaboosh this afternoon so it looks like something got fucked.

Mails are saying different from tracking.

I cancelled my Amazon order yesterday as it was saying it would arrive on September 10th, so look out for that. Shopto was £2 more, but was dispatched yesterday.

Standard Amazon when it comes to pre-orders. Waits until the day of release to tell you they don't actually have copies to fulfil your order.

The controls for the not-Zandatsu attack in this are driving me mental because compared to Metal Gear they swapped the sticks and removed the ability to walk in favour of being able to turn. No option to make it like Revengeance either!

Anyone who's done file 2, can you explain what the fuck was happening in the fight the legions bit? Obviously the cutscene and super saiyan hair happened, but in the fight afterward it repeatedly felt like things were happening without my doing anything.

I'm guessing this is going to be a mechanic later or something? It was really annoying because twice in a row I had to use a battery because despite hammering the shit out of the dodge button, my character was instead throwing the legion around like a bowling ball and trying to attack things instead of doing what I was actually pressing.
