Borderlands is $58 on Amazon. Not my type of game but thought I would share it for others.
Also Diablo 3 on Xbox is $25 if you have been living in a cave and don't own it yet.
Enjoy! :)
CamelCamelCamel.
Anyone else find FPS on the switch impossible, particularly in handheld mode…?
Definitely need a pro controller for FPS but i'd just avoid FPS on the switch if possible
FPS games control far better on the Switch than other consoles due to most Switch ports including an option for gyro aiming. Nothing can beat a mouse, but gyro aiming is, by far, the best alternative. I'd rather play an FPS with a steering wheel than with an analogue stick, it's awful.
Does borderlands offer gyro aiming?
Edit: yes
I'm so put off the idea of having to use those tiny joysticks for fast paced FPS, that I haven't even bothered trying! I know people will say use the pro controller, but at that point I'm at home and might as well play on a real console or PC.
Embrace the gyro controls. Once you learn to adapt you use the sticks for large movements and then motion for smaller adjustments which is, I assume, what your issue is with the Switch FPS controls specifically
Yeah I've used gyro controls on PUBG mobile and Zelda BOTE, and both work alright (I find pubg better out of the two). So might give it a shot if it goes on sale again.
Nah, I love it, and play exclusively in handheld mode. I've clocked Doom, Wolf 2, Doom Classic 1-3, Duke 3D a bunch, Ion Fury, Bulletstorm, and probably several others with no issue and am working my way through the Pre-Sequel for the first time now fine. But then, I love portables, and the only thing that got me to finally play Borderlands 2 was the Vita port, which was missing two triggers and two clickable sticks, but I got by fine there too.
Tips?
It literally comes down to adaption and utilising the tools they give you which, in the case of the switch, is gyro aiming. Once you adapt it will become second nature
That went from funny to cringey after the first 30 seconds
Have this on switch and I love it especially playing multiplayer with my brother. There's so much content for the price even if you have to download most of it. I Play it docked with pro controller and no issues. For those playing handheld have you tried the gyro controls, apparently it makes it easier.
Thank you for sharing on the controller. Out of curiosity, how big was the download when you first started playing? Thank you!
For those on the fence about motion and gyro controls, here is a well worded and researched opinion piece on motion controls in gaming in general
Hilarious!
Don't see how the idea is hilarious. If you haven't tried motion controls (or tried them for a few minutes and then got frustrated and turned them off because it's different) you're intentionally handicapping your gameplay and relying on pre-programmed assistance
I was talking about the way they presented it, and it's contents….very funny. Not judging the fact that gyro is good or anything…
I'm sure we all know, but remember that only Borderlands 1 is on the cart, 2 and TPS are download codes.
Is 2 and TPS counted as separate games or dlc?
So here's what you get in the box,
1 is on the cart, and all it's updates and whatever else, I haven't played it yet so idk what's on the cart.
Then there's one single code. That code gets you "The Handsome Collection" same as on PS4/Xbone. Buuuut when you actually go to download it, 2 and TPS are separate downloads.
TPS is around 12GB I think, and 2 was 20 something but I haven't downloaded it.
The eShop itself sells 1 on it's own for I think 50, and the Handsome Collection for I think 70, pricing could be a bit off I'm going off memory, but you will obviously get 1% of the 50 and 5% of the 70 (or whatever they work out to be) back in gold coins too.
