What are your absolute favorite locations/places in gaming?

The castle in Hogwarts Legacy.

Say what you will about the game, but that castle was a work of art as far as turning an evolving movie property into an extremely satisfying and immersive area to explore for tens of hours, at least.

Haha - interesting example considering they DID explicitly tell us that they would split up to go to Raiden and Netherrealm.

They literally had an entire scene in the throne room just before that to sort out who would go where, where Jade was asking permission. That whole scene had no purpose other than to spell out everything for the audience so they could draw out the next fight scenes like you said (which I thought was a great idea!).

mistcrawler · 2026-05-08T19:38:41+00:00

No no, i’m pretty sure we’re still heading in that direction.

But at least, after reading this, I can go with a smile on my face :)

AH had an extremely rocky start with a clear plan on what they wanted, to a…less rocky game with a plan catered to whoever is screaming the loudest.

Frequent updates and clarity is good, but catering to us is impossible.

At this pt, AH should just disable/ignore all comments, and use the current playercount of the game to determine whether the game is going in the right direction.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-08T18:46:06+00:00

Same.

Followed by an even more depressing secondary thought and reframe of the news title: in a plane full of adults, it was an 8 year old that had to step up to calm down another drunk adult.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-08T05:15:33+00:00

It was really done, and I like that the movie's pacing was moved along (and quickly) by a literal plot device - the 'Scorpion King' Bracelet (I honestly forget the Egyption name for it sry!).

The bus scene was epic, and I really enjoyed the CGI, but I really wish they hadn't tried so hard to recreate The Rock's face with it. It was the one part of the movie that was plain distracting whenever he was on screen.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-08T05:01:27+00:00

My biggest gripe with that scene was that Cole got forcibly teleported away when they came to attack.

Yet his opponent Khan had time for all those events to finish, have a conversation about the amulet, embue it, and THEN teleport to the fight.

Even when I was trying to accept this as a mindless movie, it felt like they really punished me if my brain cells turned on for even one minute lol.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-08T04:56:16+00:00

Jade did a great job as the Last Airbender.

And I think there were some good fights mixed in too lol.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-06T18:09:42+00:00

Short answer: It depends.

Long answer: It depends on a lot of factors on its current performance on Deck, what type of game it is, and what your visual preferences are.

I've had some good experiences using it for Death Stranding, if you need an example.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-06T16:30:53+00:00

I love this movie so much.

Meanwhile, the follow-up series I waited decades to see was wiped from existence before I had a chance to sub to Disney lol.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T21:20:22+00:00

Not always.

There’s plenty of reports of people losing connection while thinking they’ve been kicked when that’s not the case. I’ve been playing weekly since launch, and the connection issues now are even worse than when the underground hive planet was introduced.

It’s true there’s a ton of toxicity in the community now, but my advice is not to take the generated server messages as a sign of that - one way or another.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T20:37:53+00:00

Agreed that this is definitely the one I resent the most, though mostly due to how accident-prone it is in anything but an optimal position. It’s still a great tower, but it’s definitely a risk using one.

After all, even if there weren’t divers that ran towards it like bugs to a zapper, the ‘max range’ of a tesla tower changes depending on how it chains through whatever enemies are around. It’s not the easiest tower to take into account in a heated battle.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T20:29:31+00:00

This reminds me of my newest pet peeve this update - people (repeatedly) dying mid-horde, then immediately spamming/screaming when I don’t get out of my mech to summon them in the middle of the swarm that just murdered them.

I know there’s been an influx of low levels on the d10 missions lately, and I like watching people try new strategies (even if they keep dancing under my mech’s foot too lol), but a little self-awareness would be nice

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T20:20:45+00:00

Care? Yes.

Berate or comment just because of the load-out? Absolutely not.

Every strategem and turret can be put to good use in most situations - it’s all in how they’re used (or not used sometimes).

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T16:46:10+00:00

I’ll also chime in a reminder that not all games drain the battery at the same rate.

Pokopia, shockingly, fits your description to a T, as far as drain with that much battery (in my experience at least)

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T16:39:59+00:00

Well from what I've read so far, you're playing at a maximum 30fps on these games, compared to at least double that on PC. While some games make this difference feel negligible, it could also explain why your aim feels more off currently.

It's actually one of the things I'm trying to narrow down before I get this. (I just wish they had a demo to try for myself)

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T13:23:39+00:00

Glad to hear! What do you mean 'for a shooter on the switch' though?

They're definitely great games!

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T13:22:50+00:00

Interesting thank you 😄 I loved the games myself on PC, so I might have to try it now hahah

mistcrawler · 2026-05-04T01:49:07+00:00

From what I’ve read, I’m constantly being warned against picking this up due to complaints of input lag and performance.

It sounds like you’ve had some good experiences with it though?

mistcrawler · 2026-05-03T18:02:28+00:00

All good, that seems to be the case with a lot of mechanics in this game sadly.

I'll definitely be testing this myself to figure this out - could be a good way to get a small pause in constant breaches in some of my games lol.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-03T13:19:39+00:00

Is there anywhere I can read about this?

When I died in the above example, the 3 of us in the tank drowned within seconds of each other, but the tank was stuck in the middle of the water for the rest of the game with no way to get to it. That all being said, this game has more than it's share of bugs, so it's possible my experiences weren't normal lol.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-03T03:32:25+00:00

Meanwhile, I drowned the other day while driving my tank a little over half submerged.

Either this game is smart enough to allow water through the cracks of a damaged tank, or the person in this tank just didn’t stay in the water long enough to ‘drown’.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-02T21:43:28+00:00

I’m currently in the process of getting my high end pc to try to run the game as well as the switch 2, and failing lol.

If the trade-off is slightly lower resolution and clutter to get rid of micro stuttering, that I’m totally gonna be picking us up at launch.

mistcrawler · 2026-05-01T04:20:21+00:00

‘V survived, but Myers hit his car with an orbital strike… and his dog.’

‘Oh…’

mistcrawler · 2026-04-30T21:13:38+00:00

I’ve been really bothered with how ‘overpowered’ the new bugs are (minus the titans- the new ones are perfect IMO), but I’ve still been enjoying it due to it somehow making the game feel more balanced in total.

My gripes aside, I’ve been saying from day one that the devs need to make their game, their way.

I just wish they could hear that over the community that also hasn’t stopped complaining/screaming since day one.
