For all the negativity Tears of the Kingdom is getting, it's still the by far the winner in the poll. The more popular a game is, the more it attracts criticism.
Probably because some people don't like what this popularity means for the popular series as a whole - will we ever see a return to norm after BotW's and TotK's sales success? Or will the series just turn into a repetitive trek through bland open worlds with nowhere near as much character, and with nary a dungeon in sight, bogged down with frustrating and player-hostile gameplay mechanics?

Less popular games don't get as talked about, since comparatively fewer people care about them, though their flaws should still be mentioned - Bravely Default 2, for example, got rid of quite a few mechanical improvements Bravely Second added, and even some mechanics from the original BD (such as a proper quest list, being able to adjust wild encounter rate and whether EXP, JP or money is awarded, being able to save equipment and job loadouts for later, alternate costumes, etc.). If we do get another Bravely game, I do hope this all comes back.

The rest isn't very exciting either so.. :/
I'd disagree there; Pikmin 4 and Spider-Man 2 are exciting, as Pikmin 3 was great fun, as was both Spider-Man and Miles Morales. I can't wait to see what these two games are like, not to mention the new Layton game (which actually features Hershel, thankfully).

    Imo Bluetooth is always a option of last resort for me

    Except for phones because it tends to be pretty reliable there

    I got a bad habit of taking out usb transmitter and loosing it because they can't you know print names on the damn things
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But any desktop OS, I've never had anything but frustration trying to get Bluetooth devices to work reliably and stable. It might pair and connect once, and then next time I go to use it I have to delete and re-pair it again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    5.3 has been so good I think 6 is really going to make it stable

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Even my Xbox One controller I have it paired to my desktop over Bluetooth, it USUALLY works but sometimes it refuses to connect and I have to delete and re-pair it. Maddening
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gigabytes built in mobo bt/wifi pairs pretty decent

    That's what I'm using :(
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ran a driver update in device manager?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not recently but I think it's less a driver issue and more just Windows having a garbage Bluetooth stack
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Could be I was having issues when I first upgraded it and didn't realiser gigabyte has specific driver revisions which is stupid
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
