what is this fucking HOMO font

first lines of dialogue ingame and i seriously cannot distinguish between the 't' and 'l' and 'f'

i can't believe this bullshit is the game's font. everyone has to look at this, to talk to anyone, you read this font. god damnit. i am petty enough to not play the game over bullshit like this. fucking japanese nonsense

>>59858
the dialogue bubbles are also gigantic and the text is tiny. i just can't believe this crap

>>59858
l know l showldn't be lowghlng, bwl colllng o lonl homo ls hllorlws.

>>59860
homo fonts are just shit some nerd makes up, they have not been field tested and served a purpose for decades like existing fonts. some faggot really just decided they like how it looks and barely anyone is knowledgable enough about fonts to udnerstand why a particular font is bad. so these fag fonts get added in to EVERYTHING and no one does anything about it

this shit is a readability nightmare


not related to fonts, but this fucking game forces an specific viewpoint during battles, such that you are basically looking at a diagonal grid… but you must select and do stuff. using the left stick doesnt give you precise control and its wobbly. using the dpad… clicking left… move the cursor northeast, right moves southeast… fucking gay

poor fucking console peasants having to tolerate this bullshit. i cant imagine spending money on this and loading it up and having to tolerate this shit

i am proudly deleting this bullshit

>>59850
Anyways i figured its worth getting games because ill be on general relief/citybuxx anyways

Yuzu waited until the TotK release date to upload an emulator that properly runs it. I don't get it, don't think nintendo would've caused them any trouble and it was obviously already made because they uploaded it immediately, so they had to use the pirated rom to make it work. Kinda weird

Anybody who is playing Zelda should absolutely change the audio language to something other than English. The Japanese VAs were all pretty good in BotW and are (so far) also good in TotK.
However, the English VA will make you want to play it muted, if that guy who complained about it in the other thread is any indication.

>botw
>totk

god i hate these acronyms
how the fuck do i even pronounce that

i wish people would just say Zelda 24 or New Zelda

>>59904
bio-TV or bioh-TV
teeoh-teekay or tot-kay

>>59904
>how the fuck do i even pronounce that
I have never said their names out loud but in my inner monologue I just read the acronyms as the entire name

>>59908
I played for a couple of hours yesterday and they really had a good idea with the merge system, you can just spend hours playing besieged in the overworld, figuring out silly ways to kill moblins, I didn't make anything interesting, just a catapult that broken down on the first throw

How does nintendo manage to scam so many people into paying $70 for a video game?

>>59912
Not only they pay for it, they're happy to do it and get angry at people who pirate or just criticize them, it's like when people defend a sports team or political party.
I like their games, not gonna lie, but never gave them a penny and never will if they keep pulling shit like this, which they've been doing since the 90s, and it works for them, so I doubt they'll stop.

>>59917
you are doing a weird comparison to steam, a digital-only games market, but neither of those are good. just pirate shit

>>59912
>>59919
yeah we got it you are very cool

>>59917
To btfo these third worlders coping even harder, just buy the game when its on sale and then when you want sell used (used and new on sale are same price for physical switch games)

>>59921
>(used and new on sale are same price for physical switch games)
why?

Was anyone else here somewhat disappointed with the artstyle direction of Luigis Mansion 3? I was really bummed out that they didn't go for the more dark/horror-like artstyle and atmosphere of Luigis Mansion 1. Everything from the floor themes to the ghost designs just felt like a more watered down version of the 2nd game but with fancier graphics. Not to say that gameplay sucked, but the artstyle factors just kind of ruined the experience for me.

>>59921
fuck off back to /v/

>>59920
>your product is too expensive
>but at least my <physical> expensive product cannot be taken away from me!
you had to introduce an arbitrary metric (physical vs digital) to convince people your expensive product is good… despite the fact nintendo offers digital purchases and also removes/delists stuff from their eshop

cope harder

>>59927
you're deluded

>>59924
No

Tears of the Kingdom is based. Haven't been this immersed in a game since Red Dead Redemption 2.

any news about switch emulation?

Yesterday I found out Yuzu works MUCH better in Linux, so if any of you is having trouble in windows you might want to check that out

Is there little interest in cracking that thing, or are they doing such a good job patching up exploits?

>>60075
Don't you have like to physically tinker with the system now for that to work though. Compared to the PSP or the NDS where just about anyone could install a custom firmware or buy a flashcart…

>>60073
Why would you? Emulation is at a point we were playing the latest Zelda ten days BEFORE console release day, on computers that weren't even powerful (I'm playing the game on a Ryzen 5 with an amd rx570). If you say you want a portable system, there are portable PCs that are way better and also capable of emulating it, on top of thousands of computer games, and the controller is crap, seriously it feels like shit. Honestly the only argument for acquiring a Switch is some ethics bullshit about pirating and supporting Nintendo, and honestly I couldn't care less

How do i get refund from eshop gift cards? Redeemed them on e shop already

>>60075
So i did some research and although switch oled is cheaper id much rather wait for emulation to get better and use a really good tablet to minimize my stuff

>>59953
I am bored with the game, and frustrating with aspects of it. I still can't stop playing it.

Feels like digital crack, but without the benefit of getting high

>>60446
I'm also bored, finished the last shrine yesterday, will probably finish it over the the weekend and be done with it, I don't really care about getting all the sages wills or korok seeds.
What part is frustrating to you? The building thing? I'm kinda frustrated with the fact that most vehicles you build rarely work as intended and that wings disappear after like one minute, I had hoped you could make a little plane and fly for a while but no, I guess you can't

>>59953
I clocked about 120 hours into it over the span of a month or so before completing it, it was pretty fun despite all the asset reuse. My 3 main complaints were

- I wish they would come up with a better rewards system, doing quests or puzzles which usually just reward you with some shitty consumables instead of unique tools sucks.
- Shrines felt way easier than BoTW, ultrahand + recall trivialize so many of them and apparently other stuff like rockets shields make them easier. The combat shrines which strip your equipment are better than the shitty combat shrines in BoTW which are mostly just repeats at least but now there are the blessing shrines which are way too common.
- Still no real dungeons, the lightning temple was the closest to an actual dungeon and even that was short. Water temple was ass, wind temple was eh, and fire temple I just cheesed because I was getting sick of building shit and didn't feel like navigating the rails.

It and BoTW are still my favorite open world games though, the movement and the physics systems are really fun.

I've been wanting to jailbreak my switch because switch games are so expensive and they're just not worth paying for. It feels kind of foolish to pay for software when there's ways around it. But it seems jailbreaking the lite (the one I own) requires hardware and seems pretty technical for someone like myself who is retarded.

Do you think it's worth buying an unpatched switch at this point for modding? They don't seem extremely expensive at least.
By the way, that another code remake looks interesting. It makes me wonder if there's any hope for a Kyle Hyde collection, or even a third Kyle Hyde game?

>>60847
I never played another code but the Kyle Hyde games were my favorite DS games, I hope they make something new
There is a "third" Kyle Hyde game, made by the same devs, it's called Chase: Cold Case Investigations, but sadly it's pretty short and doesn't have the wandering around mechanics the others had

I thought about getting a Switch to possibly homebrew for a while. Still haven't decided. Although getting a vulnerable 2017 Switch would work best, I could just as well just buy the newest OLED model since I can afford it and just buy whatever games. But then I can't run my own software in case I feel like doing that.

>>60847
I don't really understand buying a console then complaining about pirating games being difficult and requiring extra skills and hardwear modification.

This is the path you chose.
Ether deal with piracy on hard mode or deal with emulators on a decent PC.

>>60860
I guess because a switch is 300USD and a decent pc is easily over 1000
Also switch emulation is far from perfect

>>60864
pcs are not that expensive

>>60867
u can get it for under that on Black Friday. Dont even have to build it.

Plus you need a decent PC for a few hundred bux anyway just for daily life.

>>60867
>ps4
why are comparing the price of a switch… to the price of a pc built to emulate a different console

>>60870
emulation performance has improved a lot, you can use an old ass i5 for most games on switch. $1000 is so beyond overkill

>>60871
but even so if you want to go overkill and build a pc that can emulate everything… you must compare that super pc to the cost of all consoles it can emulate, the cost of those games, etc. at the very least if you just want to play switch and ps4 for example:

ebay shows
$250 minimum for used ps4
$200 minimum for used switch
$10 for each used ps4 game
$15-20 for each used switch game

that's already like $500. you also need a monitor, the controllers for each system. and if you want to play another console… yeah that is another few hundred. and you have barely bought any games. it does get cheaper for older consoles and hardware, to some extent when they aren't collectible. but the emulation also becomes easier and more affordable the older the system you are playing

dont want to sidetrack nintendo switch discussion too much so i will leave it at that

>>60867
No it isn't.
I payed ~800 for mine and it still consistently blows current gen consoles out of the water and will continue to do so for many years to come.
A $500 dollar gaming PC could play Switch games with ease.
For fuck sake there are cell phones that can play PS3 games.
Your information is outdated.

Meanwhile dude plays switch games easier then xbox 360 games on a mini PC that cost less then $400

>>60874
>>60877
I don't think you even know how to compare specs

>>60879
answer the question (not him)

>>60880
>>60877
>>60874
so the nintendo switch renders 720p at 30 or 60fps, depending on the game

if your cpu is sufficient, you get 30/60 fps
if your cpu is super powerful, you still get 720p at 30/60fps
if your cpu is not powerful enough, you get lower fps

any games that are NOT playable or have really bad fps are a result of the emulator, basically all cpus will suck at these games

rendering the game at a higher resolution primarily uses your gpu, and you don't need much. if you want a card that will let you play modern games as well, try a 3060 for $220 on ebay, or the 2060 super is basically the same thing for $170. youc an go down all the way to 1660 super for like $100

here are some cpus that should work fine. people often upgrade from these to way more powerful cpus, and find they aren't getting any better performance. if the game runs like ass you'll need to do performance mods or try a different emulator. some games run much better in cemu vs yuzu for example

i5-9400f
r5 5600x or r7 3700x or 3600
any of these are fine. the amd cpus are like $90-120 but you can look at passmark and find similar scoring cpus for less and pick them up used on ebay

you need a minimum 16gb ram which is chump change nowadays

a good ssd to run the game from

a mobo compatible with whatever cpu socket you want. amd seems to be more value so probably am4 for what i listed

$170 - 2060 super
$120 - r5 5600x
$50 - am4 motherboard
$20 - 16gb ddr4 ram
$20 - 1TB hdd
$40 - 1TB ssd
$60 - atx tower case

that's under $500

swapping to 1660 super and r7 3700x would bring it down to $400. if you already have hard drives or ssd or an old pc case, you could have this for well under $300


i'm sure there are guides out there to build cheaper stuff for emulating switch. people make youtube videos on systems costing less than $100 playign stuff like starfield and cyberpunk at console quality framerate and graphics settings.

>>60855
True, Cold Case was created by CING employees, but the main writer from Hotel Dusk and Last Window – Rika Suzuki – Was uninvolved.
She is involved, however, with writing a new adventure game coming next year called 'Dark Auction: Hitler's Estate'.
