![]() In comparison, the 3DS depth feature actually simulates a sense of depth, even for someone like me who is stereo-blind. Truly, this is the force feedback of its generation a completely serviceable addition that otherwise doesn't warrant any revolutionary statement. I mean, it's fine? The vibration does feel more nuanced than its competitors, but not at all in a "realistic" sense, whatever that means. I feel like people praised this mechanism a bit too much. To stick with controls for a moment, one of the selling features for the Switch was HD rumble, which is supposed to accurately simulate what's happening on screen. ![]() I hate it, a lot, and can see this ridiculous design affecting how much I'll play down the line. What an unbelievable regression in user experience this is, coming from standardized controllers. ![]() On top of that, the game I'm playing doesn't even let you play with the full grip, instead making you choose one joy-con or forcing you into portable mode. I've grown used to this mismatched mess, but it's a far cry from both Playstation and Xbox, which have figured out that less complicated works best. God, why does Nintendo feel the need to rework an already solved problem? I hate every iteration of the control setup, from the individual little joy-con nubs, to the pointless grip that doesn't charge the controllers. That video of the rooftop party really set up some unrealistic expectations, because even a slight breeze would defeat this tiny, plastic stick. The SD card sits exposed behind the flimsy kickstand, which I haven't managed to get my screen to stay upright once. Inserting a game makes my heart skip, every time. The placement for cartridges, both game and storage, feel like they're going to break the surrounding shell at any point. The first thing I noticed is the console's dozen awkward designs. Resellers are a plague, I'll mention it every time.Īnyway, what is the Switch like for someone who stopped buying consoles around the Playstation 3 (PS3) era? I thought I'd give some of my belated first impressions here. "Buy it or shut up" is not the great business acumen you think it is, especially not when you're already charging a premium. You'd be surprised how many messages from sellers come back with fewer than three words. The woman selling the console being a rare friendly person during the entire transaction made the purchase that much easier. It's taken five years, but I'm finally a current gamer again. Well, the €300 price tag was more than I could afford, but my brain also yelled at me that I'd never find an equally good deal. Not one week later, another aptly priced lot presented itself. Usually, an acquisition like that keeps me busy enough to close any secondhand market apps I have, but this time I lingered. ![]() That batch was all kinds of fucked up, but it was affordable and that's where I'm at with my collection maintenance. Considering I own a thousand console games and lived in a condemned house, that statement says a lot. Then, two-ish weeks ago, I finally replaced my broken Playstation 1 with the filthiest, nastiest lot I've ever had in my hands. For some reason though, people are selling their unwanted child for either way too much or in a ridiculous, incomplete state. You'd think it would be easy to find someone doing away with a console no one wants. I've been looking for a Wii U for months now. It's not news that I go through game collection sprees periodically. ![]()
