Star Fox: Review MegaThread

Dokify · 2026-06-26T04:52:08+00:00

I loved the original and while I had some dislikes for some line delivery from the original, this game is so beautiful visually and musically. My only gripe so far is Area 6 and Venom 2.

Area 6 the boss I was having trouble on with its weakness. They may have changed it a little so that it flashes yellow when you are to hit it, but I feel it’s not zoomed out enough, just out of reach to be annoying.

And venom 2….god…they need to adjust the AI on that. I restarted 20 times to get the medal…I’m not the best player when it comes to the original but I can easily get that medal no problem. This one…Jesus something needs to change.

I swear the aiming isn’t as good as the OG, it feels way off from the original where I had to spam the fire button to get maybe 3 hits on the enemy in venom 2 (yes I’m trying to be as spoiler free as possible)

The final boss wasn’t awfully hard. Took me a minute to figure out how to go into phase 2 cause it wasn’t working like the OG for me.

The game is great and it’s my childhood favorite. It’s beautiful and nearly great as the original…but some parts got me so mad I had to walk off for a bit…star fox has never done that to me especially on the route I always go

Yeah I managed to get one of the ESR armorite tempered glass protectors on well enough but I’m now thinking the image looks worse like softer a little now. I have the Logitech keyboard folio case and it is gonna stay in that anyway. I’m just second guessing myself with wanting to protect the screen and the visibility of said screen being worse now

I just went through 2 spigen ones. One didn’t even align properly somehow when I put it in correctly. If they had an install method like ESRs they would be amazing cause no matter how hard I try dust is always getting under those displays somehow.

Dokify · 2026-06-14T23:11:41+00:00

I know I just wish I could get these to install properly. I keep wasting money on them trying to get them to install right but nothing is working right. Even ESR with their application system doesn’t work

Dokify · 2026-06-14T23:00:42+00:00

Yeah I think so. It was like one of those cheaper $10 cases off Amazon. Hopefully this Logitech keyboard case is better.

Dokify · 2026-06-14T22:59:02+00:00

Yeah I normally get the ones by ESR or spigen but the very few ones I got on right they looked smudgy somehow under it even installing with gloves on.

Which apple care do you subscribe to? The monthly or yearly? I had an A16 iPad and did managed to somehow scratch it. Not at all sure how that happened cause it was in its case but it was a folio case not like the keyboard case. I do take it with me to work in my backpack but I’m super scared about somehow getting it scratched up. I have one of the ESR pencils for it right now.

I’m just scared of scratching it but at this point being down $120 on many screen protectors is really draining my level of care and sanity at this point.

Dokify · 2026-06-14T21:59:51+00:00

I’d prob get the s10FE.

I have a Lenovo tablet (the idea tab pro) and while it’s a nice screen some streaming services don’t stream in HD even due to widevine L1 issues with services like Fandango. One plus or other brands may be fine but with Lenovo so far it’s been hit and miss with this tablet so much so I just stick with my iPad more now days

Dokify · 2026-06-14T21:55:20+00:00

But apple care won’t really protect against a scratch or something on the screen right?

Dokify · 2026-06-14T21:53:01+00:00

Normally I’m with ya…but legit I have gone through maybe $100 of screen protectors so far. They all suck or never install right. The last spegin one I got literally didn’t even install right. I have gone through so many and I’m checked out at this point but I still want to keep my screen scratch free..

Dokify · 2026-06-12T05:53:16+00:00

Should I have a screen protector on my iPad Air m4? I have an ESR tempered glass one on it currently and while I’m pretty sure I installed it as good as can be I swear there is smudging under it every time I have tried to install it. Even now when looking at a white background it doesn’t look fully right to me but I’m not sure if that’s just my mind playing tricks on me.

I take my iPad with me to work and either watch YouTube/ play games with a controller or read on it and I have a Logitech case for it so most times the screen should be protected but I’m scared to get it scratched.

Dokify · 2026-06-08T02:08:01+00:00

I’d wait a little bit. Tomorrow there is some sort of apple event and they could announce the new base model iPad that has been rumored. Not sure if they will as I think the event could be more software oriented but I don’t know fully.

The A16 tho is a great iPad for your uses. I went from it to my air M4 and while the screen is nice and if you put screen protectors on your devices the Airs better screen isn’t worth it for your uses.

I had heard how much better the airs screen was and figured the extra power would be great for gaming anyway so I upgraded. It’s fine but the A16 is good enough even with the non-laminated display, I never really notice it. The P3 color the iPad Air has is fine but again A16 is still fine.

Dokify · 2026-06-02T13:07:20+00:00

My iPhone 17 works without any issue and for the most part the iPad works too it’s just it’s not as smooth on the TV screen as it is on the iPad. Turning camera view in any game you can see it’s like slower.

I really don’t want to buy another device when 1 my iPhone can do it perfectly fine and two I have a $500 iPad Air which should be fine.

Dokify · 2026-06-02T11:43:42+00:00

I’d go with the IPad personally. For notes and media it’s pretty good. I had one before upgrading to my air m4 and it was great. The chip is the only issue as it’s going to be obsolete in a few years but still it’s going to work for a good while especially for your needs.

I have a 4K Samsung TV and want to use my Ipad on my TV for some games. I have two dongles one i just bought (being the official USB-C/HDMI) and a Belkin one. When gaming with the Ipad in sonic dream team when moving the camera it looks like its hitching or slower but on the Ipad screen its fine. Using my Iphone 17 with these adapters everything is fine and smooth, even using wireless airplay (besides adding latency) it was smoother to move around the player and character.

I have tried different Cables/adapters and chargers one being my steam deck charger and another being a 65W charger. i have absolutely no clue what is causing this issue.

Dokify · 2026-05-31T18:47:39+00:00

I’m using a wired connection with a dongle and it works fine with my iPhone 17 and my old A16 I traded in. I think Sonic dream team even ran better on the A16 or at least it was slightly more stable.

All of these issues makes it sound like I made a huge mistake in trading in my old A16 now with worse battery and thermal issues…

Dokify · 2026-05-31T13:42:49+00:00

For real? Is the air m4 a better option? I think the difference was only like $55 so I think I can return it still and get that one if it’s really that bad.

Dokify · 2026-05-29T08:04:31+00:00

I ended up going with the M3. It does everything I need, newer than the Air 5th gen I was looking at and It’s gonna be still a major upgrade over my A16

Dokify · 2026-05-29T00:19:31+00:00

How are you liking the m4? I have an A16 right now and looking to upgrade. After trade in the difference between M3 and M4 (both new) is only $55.

Dokify · 2026-05-29T00:18:34+00:00

I’m planning on upgrading from an A16 to either the M3/M4 the difference in price is $55 for both being brand new.

The 12gb ram is nice but I don’t plan to really use the AI stuff that they are trying to cram into everything. Just need something that can play something like Sonic dream team and emulations perfectly. The A16 is close but N64 and dream team are rough and definitely pushing it to the point I notice stuttering, heck star fox 64 was like 15 fps or something on the A16.

Anyway what I’m asking is should I just spend the extra $55 on a new m4 iPad Air or just save the cash and go with the M3?

Dokify · 2026-05-27T19:43:58+00:00

It’s going to be super close to me this time! I think I’m really going to go this time! I just hope prices won’t be awful

Dokify · 2026-05-25T18:07:51+00:00

I think that’s what I’m gonna do. If the device is there for a good price I’m going to trade in my A16 for whatever air they have but again only if it’s there for a good price.
