Board 8 > should i buy games on SWITCH or STEAM. also does anyone want an OLD game

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hollow Knight / Cuphead / Celeste / Katana Zero are what i'm looking at

also, completely unrelated and this might be a long shot but does anyone want any of these old games (physical copy). i'm willing to send ONE (1) to ONE (1) person because i have ONE (1) mailer left. in the event there are somehow multiple responses, it is not first come first serve. i'll just pick one person. please only say you'll take the game if you're actually planning to play it. not like these are actually worth anything lmao

US/Canada only

Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2)
Dead or Alive 5 (PS3)
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend (PS3)
God Eater 2: Rage Burst (PS4)
Mass Effect Andromeda (PS4)
Pokken Tournament (Wii U)

Always been interested in Pokken.

Oh and I am a Steam guy. So I say steam unless you game on the go.
---

Always Switch.

Even if you don't game on the go much, having the ability to play anywhere in your house while sitting/laying in any position is far more valuable than it might seem. One of those things you don't know you need until you have it.

I'm interested in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend!
---

I vote steam but meant switch
---

Steam and play with XBOne controller
---

do the switch versions let you play with dpad instead of analog?

I'm pretty sure almost any game that lets you play with the D-pad on PC will let you play with it on Switch. I have my issues with the Switch D-pads though. I think there was a topic recently about controllers for Switch with good D-pads.
---

Most of those games are really d-pad intensive and I don't personally like any of the Switch's d-pads that I've tried. Go Steam IMO unless portability is a huge thing for you and play with whatever controller you want.
---

Since I don't care about portability, I prefer my games on Steam
I am much more comfortable with Mouse+Keyboard and I am a sucker for achievements
---

Speaking of the d-pad, this topic reminded me to buy an 8bitdo adapter that lets you use PS3, PS4 and the newest Xbone controllers on Switch and PC. So that kind of solves that problem.
---

mouse/keyboard only for certain genres tbh.

steam achievements are worthless to me and it's a relief

love me some trophies though

Ayyy those are the two platforms I have

Anyways Switch for local multiplayer, and Steam for singleplayer and online is how I do it
---

pretty sure there are naked mods for some/all of those on pc so...
---

I vote Switch.

And I would like Pokken plz. Ive always wanted to try it but didnt want to pay full price for it.

In September, Hori is releasing a Joycon that is pretty much a Pro Controller split in half.
