I switched to amateur, the guns aren't powerful enough here. The shotgun doesn't blow the bad guys back like Re4. Feels like bullet sponges. Then they put you in open areas and besiege you with enemies with no cover and very little ammo. Game is on a downward slide from Re4 to 5 to 6.

GG!!!! Feel better. Sounds like a shoulder issue, you really need to get it looked at.

RE6 is a messy game and it takes a lot of learning to understand the combat system which the game does not teach you at all. You should be using a lot of dodge rolling around and using that auto shoot attack to set up stuns. Yes the menus are a mess but there are options to control the aiming, it could be hard to find. If you had Vader mode the game would be better but I don't have it on switch.

Nintendo financials for Q1, most profit ever for a Q1 console owner, beating the record Sony set two days ago for its Q1 profits lol. Animal crossing sold over 10 million units, in Q1 alone... a random quarter, not even its launch. It's at 22 million sold. 22 MILLION, in like 5 months.WTF. It's going to be the best selling Nintendo game of all time at this rate.

Those are some damn impressive numbers for Nintendo there indeed. Nice to see Pikmin 3 making its way to the Switch. I haven’t played any of the games myself but would like to rectify that situation with the Switch version of this game.

Pikmin is great.  Enjoy.  Although I still hold the original dearest.

Yeah Pikmin 3 was great. Highly recommend it.  And apparently, Nintendo has pulled it from the Wii eShop... You know, just in case someone wanted to buy a Wii U and get it cheaper.

Coincidentally I just started Pikmin 3. The textures are just as bad as I remember them, but worse still, the resolution is so awful it barely looks worse played on the GamePad.

Cool. Really looking forward to it now. Yeah I saw that Nintendo pulled it from the Wii U eShop. Seems like just a very poor thing to do, especially from a PR perspective. I mean it’s not like you could play it on the Switch and it’s not like there’s 100+ million Wii U’s out there so I can’t really see how leaving it up would have negatively impacted sales for the Switch version.

So I've been playing Paper Mario Origami King.  It's fantastic.  It's definitely one of the better entries in the series.  I thought I enjoyed the Wii U version, but this one is better.  I wasn't sure about it at first with the new battle system, but once some of the gameplay opened up and it got wacky, it has been a blast.  It is very, very light on role playing elements, so don't think of the game as a RPG. Your strength goes up a bit when your hp increases and that's about it.  The dialogue is the best.

whenever I try a dodge move Leon ends up rolling about on the floor. Is there a dodge which leaves you still manoeuvrable? The games okay now I'm past that awful cemetery and outside the cathedral. I finally got past the point I played on 360. Now in HK, which was cool but jesus they expect you to spot. Ladder in a back alley with so much visual noise and detail I was just running into dead ends. Just saw the Chris Leon epic meet up. They should have just arm wrestled like Predator.

the ground textures suck. Are you playing it on a 4ktv now? Speaking of which the picture quality on re6 remastered on switch is so sharp and detailed it can look amazing. I wish they had lowered the resolution a little as there is slowdown here and there. It's not a huge issue outside of the cemetery but would have been better if they tooled the visuals for a smoother frame rate. I can see why they chose to keep the picture quality, it's remarkable and I didn't think switch could do that. Motion controls are cool too. Although I don't like the way you switch weapons, is there no way to assign particular weapons to the dpad rather than scrolling through?

Sounds realistic.  Certainly what would happen if I'd attempt a dodge move.

Just went all in on a 256gb micro sd for Switch as these downloads had me clearing out the fridge. Prices are so low now you can easily get a 128gb for nothing. I didn't want to be swapping cards and it's awesome not to have to switch cards out all the time. Will probably get Re4 and re5 maybe okami.

I wish I could remember off the top of my head. That game had such odd controls and proper ways to do actions, just poorly explained in every way.

Okay, so question for the group. Alan Wake? It's a 10-year-old game, but is it worth checking out? Specifically the Steam version if that even matters.

It seems the new DLC for Control officially links the two games together. I'm not in a huge hurry to play it mind you, but I love the hell out of that game so I will get it at some point. I would just like to know if I should check out Alan Wake and play through the game, or if I might as well just watch YouTube summaries of it.

Alan Wake is good. And ridiculously cheap always.
