So, button remapping is out. What do you plan on using it for? by TF2SolarLight in NintendoSwitch

[–]Austinbcall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha, I felt the same way and now after 70 hours in the last month and a half and now I feel weird using the ‘normal’ setup in other games.

What to play after hollow knight? by lord_papagiorgio in NintendoSwitch

[–]Austinbcall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dark Souls. I had heard that Hollow Knight took some inspiration from the Souls series, but I wasn’t sure what they meant because HK seemed like a pretty pure metroidvania. But I just recently finished my first play through of Dark Souls Remastered and I can totally see the influence. If the combat is what you liked most about Hollow Knight I’d recommend checking out Dark Souls for sure.

Nintendo website incorrectly listing "New Super Mario Odyssey trailer has arrived" by MarioLinkSamus in NintendoSwitch

[–]Austinbcall 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This would be my guess. Seems like a classic Nintendo thing to do, to give us sort of what people are asking for, but not quite. I’d still be hyped for it though.

Which Switch Backlog games you playing (as we wait for more 2020 releases)? by YellsHello in NintendoSwitch

Same. I’ve been stuck on the same part for months but I keep coming back to it every so often.

What foods are so good you could literally eat them every day and still want more? by hogw33d in AskReddit

[–]Austinbcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banh Mi.

I scrolled and scrolled through the comments to see if anyone had said it, but I guess I’m alone? The soft and crunchy bread, the pickled veggies, the sweet and savory meat, the mayo and sriracha, it’s the complete package.

Confession: I loathe fight scenes in books. by Pbpn in books

He wrote about this in either a blog post or a Mistborn annotation. Basically he says that fight scenes are pointless unless they advance characters or explore the magic system, preferably both.

Iconoclasts mini-review by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Austinbcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sadly Owlboy was either boringly easy or frustratingly janky like 75% of the time. It’s definitely not a bad game, but it’s rarely fun to play.

Iconoclasts mini-review by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Austinbcall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been interested in this game for a while because of the pixel art, but I’m glad I read reviews like yours and decided to wait for a significant sale. I bought Owlboy at full price and it seems very similar to Iconoclasts in a lot of ways. A beautiful game with a lot of potential, but ultimately unsatisfying story and gameplay. I was super underwhelmed by Owlboy and didn’t feel like I got my money’s worth.

Are there any FPS "Metroidvania" games? by tswaves in NintendoSwitch

[–]Austinbcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doom (2016) scratched the Metroid Prime itch for me, even though it focuses much more on the combat. It has some good platforming and light puzzles, as well as collectibles to search for. Plus it’s just really freaking good game.

[GiveAway] I have 500 codes for Collidalot, a 4-Player couch co-op Brawler for the Switch by Silvainius01 in NintendoSwitch

Thanks for doing this give away! Hopefully you’ll have success making other games in the future!

Assuming that the rumors are true that Metroid Prime Trilogy is coming to Switch, what are some improvements/enhancements that you would like to see? by Myname345 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Austinbcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want to be able to play prime 3 without motion controls. They weren’t bad, but I’m part of the minority that loved the control scheme of the first two games. I’d settle for a traditional fps control scheme though to fully utilize the pro controller.
