I mean, I don’t get burnout. It’s mostly just that most switch games have either disappointed me or just don’t interest me after a while. On occasion I get stuff like Great Ace Attorney or other games I really want to beat, but it rarely happens on this console.
Pretty much this exactly, applies to me. The last three months especially have been quite empty as a Switch player that I've even surprised myself with how little I've used it lately.
@TheJGG On my end, this year was the year I finally got a lot of use out of my switch, as tons of games I’m interested in are releasing, and aren’t that disappointing in comparison. Monster hunter rise, monster hunter stories 2, Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, and Warioware. Not to mention that there’s still a few other games coming this year like metroid dread and smt V.
Nintendo’s first party offerings just haven’t been that great to me this gen, aside from things like BotW. Games like New Horizons or Kirby Star allies ended up deeply disappointing me, making me wish I could just sell them or something.
"It is fate. Many have tried, yet none have ever managed to escape it's flow."
@TheJGG I would say I'm more or less, I mean I would say i have played on my switch less this year, But we should be getting a slew of games to soon supply us with the gaming water we like oh so much.
Edit: is it just me or I'm I getting a lot of DBZ adds on this site LMAO.
@TheJGG First of all, my apologies on my delayed response. It's been...crazy. No other decent description for it. There are a couple of evenings this week where I didn't even game. Seems like you've been pretty occupied as well, so I don't feel too bad about it lol.
I know what it's like to have a thing, person, or concept dominate your thoughts (more on that shortly), and music certainly fits that category! Can't say I've heard of The Avalanches, but surprisingly I think I have heard of CHVRCHES. Don't believe I've listened to any of their music though, so I hope to check out both groups soon. I've jotted down the tracks you mentioned, they seem like an excellent place to start!
I finished Ys VIII before my short out-of-state departure last weekend, and...wow. It's one of the best action RPGs that I've played in recent memory. only outranked by Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition in my book (I consider BotW and other Zelda games strictly action/adventure). Fun combat, exploration, decent character development, a story that starts out decent, sags a little about 1/3rd of the way through, only to increase in quality after that low point to an amazing climax....And the music, so many awesome, varied tracks. I've linked a few personal favorites below:
To summarize: I had a blast with the game. I spent 70+ hours on it, longer than I expected to in all honesty, but for the most part those hours were all fun. I'm now extremely interested in playing through the rest of the series, or at least the most recent iteration of each game; there have been several remakes over the years. Thankfully, I've come across this wonderful site in my internet wanderings to help out.
It's been almost two years now since I've been on a plane. No complaints really, though there are aspects of air travel I do occasionally miss. I forgot to mention last time, I do use my phone as a music player as well (thanks Spotify Premium) and am glad that it still has a headphone jack. I have a nice set of bluetooth headphones I use at work, but at the end of the day they aren't the most portable lol. While I enjoy reading, I don't get around to audiobooks much; they're not the best to listen to with my work, and I don't have a long enough commute to really make the investment worth it.
Confession time: I don't believe I've read your Xenoblade work since the update I posted last time. I'll try to cram in a chapter or two this weekend. This weekend and some of next weekend is pseudo-busy, but I should have pockets to breathe here and there. Starting next month though...hello insanity! I'll likely take a forum break then and not have much site activity in general, but I will formally announce my departure in this thread when the time comes. I'm very interested in how you characterized Alvis and look forward to when I make it to that bit. Honestly, looking back there were a couple of subtle hints in the game about Alvis. The point of writing, at least in this case, is to unwind and have fun, which I think you're doing pretty well.
I heard about the PS5 showcase and some of what showed up, though I didn't watch it. Out of what you listed, the games I'd be most interested in would be Horizon Forbidden West (though I'd likely benefit from playing the first game lol), Marvel’s Spider-Man, and the remaster of Uncharted 4; I've always had a passing interest in the latter series and nearly had an opportunity to play the first game at one point, but the series's choice of platform is a bit of a barrier right now. We don't know what Nintendo is up to after January with Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which means we're about due for a Direct!
I think the historical accuracy and general gameplay is what would draw me towards Ghosts of Tsushima. Love what footage I've seen of it. Speaking of the BotW DLC...I intend to dive into it over the next few days now that I have Ys VIII and the short but fairly decent Drill Dozer out of the way. I've also started Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, a fun little Dragon Quest spinoff that so far deserves the praise I've heard about it.
Oof...yes. While I get having a little bit of extra space for some leeway for an installation, 70-80 GB seems a little much. Though I do confess that I don't know what resources each game will take up. I've started grudgingly embracing digital on occasion, though you still won't hear me singing praises about it. Much better than streaming and games as a service though.
@Snatcher I have a Life is Strange True Color ad. Do I get bonus points for seeing a Sonic Colors ad on the Sonic article (if you're wondering, I'm a general Sonic fan, I've liked all eras).
Edit: It went to Dragon Ball Z after I replied, lol.
@Sunsy
I just wonder about Finding Nemo Gamecube version, have you ever accomplish the mission 6 at Mine field ?
That was really freaking hard, I stopped playing the game since following Bruce was almost impossible to do.
And for Rocket Power on Gamecube, I wonder if anybody can finish that stupid impossible challenge to grab 10 rockets in 5 minutes. The controlling was really mess to do aerial skateboard, It made me really pissed off and stop continuing the game also. Grabbing the rocket inside dark tunnel was almost impossible to do and wasting the time since the challenge force you to do precise timing to get them.
@MarioLover92 Thanks! It was kinda short, but pretty good overall. Plenty of food (too much one evening lol ) and good company!
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and have some interest in Star Wars, though I wouldn't call myself a diehard fan. I've seen bits and pieces of the older movies, though I did watch the entire sequel trilogy in theaters. I enjoyed them, though I do agree that a couple of decisions (including Carrie Fisher in the last movie via posthumous footage) were headscratchers. I do intend to watch them all in chronological order....at some point.
That was the best part about countering: how epic it makes Samus/the player feel. It seemed so fluid and intuitive after adapting.
@tekoii Thanks! She's excited but stressed out between planning for that and still being a full time college student. I love volunteering at the haunted house; I get to meet wome pretty cool people, am basically there to get a kick out of scaring guests (some reactions are priceless) all while staying in character, and we get provided with free food as well. Some of the hours earlier on get a little long since there isn't much traffic, but it tends to pick up closer to Halloween.
I'm taking breaks when I can, next weekend is an extended one due to time off that I definitely need...then hello insanity!
@Anti-Matter It's been a long time since I've played both games, I rented Rocket Power Beach Bandits and have Finding Nemo. Actually, I ended up beating Finding Nemo twice, once when I rented it, once when I got it. I haven't played it in a very long time so I can't remember what I did to beat it.
BTW, I'm a Smurfs fan, so you know how much I'm looking forward to Smurfs Mission Vileaf. Going to end up getting it on PC first because GOG has it DRM-free. Later on I'll get it on Switch too.
@Snatcher Awesome! While I enjoyed each game I played, you and I are similar when it comes to Sonic in general.

@Sunsy
You finished Finding Nemo Gamecube twice ?? 😲
How did you pass that ridiculous hard mission 6 by following Bruce ?
Speaking about Microids, looks like Microids as publisher become the next Ubisoft in term of providing cartoonish games like Ubisoft have ever done during Wii and NDS era.
We got My Universe (Imagine series), The Smurfs, Marsupilami, Asterisk, Tootuff Mega Party, etc. Not to mention Microids' plan to revive some Taito games for upcoming release.
At this point, I really granted for the games by OG Games, Microids and Team 17 for providing kids games on modern consoles.
What is your favorite games from Team 17 and OG Games ?
@Anti-Matter That I can't remember, it's been so long since I've beaten it and played it. I still have the game.
Yes, I remember Smurfs games were made by Ubisoft. I have Smurfs 2 on Wii U and DS (I was surprised when I found it on Wii U, didn't know it existed), and Smurfs Dance Party (basically Just Dance, with Smurfs).
Haven't played any games by OG Games, but I do like Superfrog from Team 17, an old PC game they made. Sadly it's no longer on sale on GOG, but because it's DRM-free I have the game backed up to a USB stick and can install and play it anytime without an Internet requirement.
@Snatcher Indeed, it's nice seeing someone else who likes Sonic. Especially with the hate this series gets online (personally, I'm rather tired of it tbh).

@Snatcher Hope so too. It does get tiring hearing the same opinions on games repeated whenever I look up something Sonic related on YouTube or something. It's like everyone has the same opinion, I could watch one Sonic video on particular games, and it feels like I've seen them all.
Reminds me of the "can I copy your homework" meme, lol.

Guys, I just want to say something. Thank you for being so good for each other. And thanks for being there as a support, if you ever did so. At this moment I am alone, but I feel the need to be in a nice community. I am happy to be here, and I love to see people helping each other. I love games like Mario Party and Animal Crossing becouse they give the possibility to play games with each other even if you havent got any friends in real life (also to play Monopoly and such games...). Thanks for being there. Happy to find a place where you can stick around.
yeah were all pretty good with each other here.

@ogo79 I think it is important. @Snatcher got my eyes on getting one of these hairy animals into my house in a few weeks... dogs are fun. but some (african) woman say that dogs dont belong in the house... well, its better then being in a small asylum space. @Anti-Matter Did hear about the Smurfs, but didn't know that a marsupilami game was coming up. So many games are coming that might be worth playing. Super Monkey Ball, maby the Nickelodeon one, Metroid 5... , Star Wars Hunters...
