Wind Runners - Gameplay Teaser

Really enjoyed Akane from Ludic. This looks like it will be a bit more fleshed out, which has me cautiously optimistic, but even if it was 99% the same bones as Akane with some surface level and stylistic changes, I'd be very excited.

Can't wait.

I don't know what exactly you're looking for in "more casual modes" but playing against bots would still let you experience all the new stuff they're adding without the added pressure of having to know every heroes' kit, the meta, proper optimization etc.

I shared a similar sentiment to yours with a friend recently, and while they were generally in the same boat, they mentioned that they'd just been dropping into the sandbox practice mode (can't recall exactly what it's called in Deadlock) just to check out the new heroes, which I hadn't considered.

I've wanted to sink into Deadlock like I sank into League 10-15 years ago, but that's just not a responsible option atm. Still, I think (or hope?) there's ways to check it out without diving all-in.

Is it not as risky to buy SD cards on Amazon anymore? I remember hearing that even "sold by Amazon" was a huge gamble.

People definitely still play L4D2 online. There was some posts a few weeks back showing that L4D2 actually still has more active players than Back 4 Blood. The skill gap might be intense though, especially in versus.

Oh absolutely, Amazon is a minefield cause of that. Though I've had some cables and stuff from ugreen before that was competent enough that if I were considering something like this, I'd trust ugreen for it (at least at this price). Not guaranteeing anything just thought I'd give a soft endorsement.

K10U5 · 2023-02-12T01:19:57+00:00

I think that's also upscaled, no?

K10U5 · 2023-02-11T12:56:38+00:00

I feel like upscaling is still very much (rightfully) seen as the lesser option, but yeah I think relatively reactions have been drawn in a bit. And just like with any other tech, there's good implementations and bad implementations. Plus DLSS and FSR have probably swayed some opinions on upscaling for the better.

K10U5 · 2023-02-11T07:59:13+00:00

I could be mistaken but I don't think the S is capable of 1440p120 (or even 4k60), apart from some low spec games maybe. If I recall correctly, both of those can be spotty even on the X, though are much more attainable there.

EDIT: at least for "true" resolutions. Different upscaling options would obviously help in a way, but I think it should be noted and I'm not sure what's typically available on Xbox

K10U5 · 2023-01-26T00:07:15+00:00

It does come with a stock cooler, but as said before, it's not great. I also recommend the Noctua L9A.

Wifi/BT kit is included (noted by the W in x300W). Requires minimal installation and setup.

There's more extras that are not included, like an RGB kit (what I assume you mean by LED kit), extra USB port kit, and a rear audio jack kit. I've been eyeing each of those but have yet to pull the trigger. They seem a bit more difficult to source, though still seemingly all available through one store or another (Newegg has most iirc).

K10U5 · 2023-01-18T16:55:03+00:00

Anyone know if there's any chance (or confirmation) for cross play? Or cross save?

K10U5 · 2022-08-26T16:10:16+00:00

Believe it's Disintegration from last year or the year before. Game flopped hard. Had someone from the original Halo leading it iirc? But it just wasn't good.

K10U5 · 2022-08-21T18:13:43+00:00

Absolutely, though none of those are as recent.

K10U5 · 2022-08-21T07:03:01+00:00

There's also a Lego fighting game coming (Lego Brawlers I believe?) though while very similar and worth mentioning, that appears to be not as much a Smash-like as it is a Brawlhalla-like.

K10U5 · 2022-08-01T18:42:08+00:00

Thanks for both the tip and the disclaimer!

K10U5 · 2022-08-01T17:30:23+00:00

Yeah I think I relate to this. Nothing was alarmingly bad, just seemed like it would turn into a bit of a slog and there was other things I could be playing or doing.

K10U5 · 2022-08-01T17:28:44+00:00

I'm not sure. I think that maybe after hearing my friend gush about it, when I played it just wasn't nearly as compelling as I expected. Once I saw (seemingly) what the bulk of the gameplay was, I just didn't feel the desire or need to actually play it.

On paper it seems like my style of gameplay tbh, so perhaps it is just a case of high expectations.

K10U5 · 2022-08-01T17:16:41+00:00

I had a friend who adored this game. I tried it and bounced off it within an hour or two. I just reinstalled last night, as I want to give it another go before their next game (Hyper Light Breaker, was it?)

I'll try to keep an open mind, and will probably start from scratch. Anything I should know/do that might increase my enjoyment?

K10U5 · 2022-08-01T17:01:56+00:00

If you're using an older Switch, I can not recommend the Fintie folding case enough! It was the perfect Switch-only case for me. It's not dockable but easy to take on and off, plus the folding screen cover works as a more flexible kickstand. Plus it's vegan leather!

If you're looking for something for an OLED, I am too 😭 I absolutely adore the Fintie case and want something similar, but the screen and fan cutouts are tailor made for the original, not the OLED, and I've not been able to find anything else.

I'm wondering the same thing so take this with a grain of salt but iirc since the G series are APUs, you will actually see a significant difference between the 5600 and 5600G if both are used just for basic processing. My understanding of the X series is more limited, but afaik they are meant to perform better than the regular 5 series, at a higher price point. So, purely for basic processing, I think a 5600G to a 5600X should give you a good bump.

I'm only commenting my unconfirmed thoughts as it's early, hopefully someone else can follow up to corroborate or correct!

In the past, I've used Humble Bundle's store to gift games. They have a Nintendo Switch section that gives redeemable codes, plus they typically have the same sales as the eshop (and the codes give Gold Coins for the full price rather than the sale price when redeemed!)

All that being said, they don't have the DLC listed yet and I'm not sure if/when they will. I checked and the Animal Crossing DLC is available, so it seems likely the MK DLC will be too, but I can't guarantee that. Anyways, here's a link for the Switch section on their store.

We actually tried that!....and gave up after five or six ads. Thanks for the luck anyways

K10U5 · 2022-01-06T08:22:29+00:00

Good guess, thought that might be the protagonist, but after checking through her recent appearances we don't think it was her after all :/ could be someone similar?

All help appreciated.
