@Sdelintwouters I have honestly dabbled in a bit of everything over my lifetime. Started with the MegaDrive, then the PS1, then my Gameboy iterations and the PC, then the PS2, then the 360, then the PS4 and then predominantly PC. With a little dabbling in between with some of the opposite consoles I didn't main in that generation - Xbox, PS3, Xbox One etc maybe some stuff I am forgetting. I also have a Series X basically gathering dust, I am just waiting for it to give me a reason to play it.

Nintendo has just always been my blindspot, as the sort of pillar Nintendo franchises hold no real interest to me.

My probably all time favourite game is probably BioShock. I haven't replayed any other game quite as many times or got a tattoo in tribute for any other game. Probably followed a close second by Mass Effect. In terms of sheer hours, I have sunk probably the most into either TF2 or across the Destiny franchises (through the original, 2 and the various expansions). However, as an adult, I find a FPS has to be really special for me now to really care about it.

I am much more into RPGs these days. I love having my own character who I build and shape.

I can relate to this. Most Nintendo franchises don't do much for me either, except for Smash Bros and the occasional 2D Mario platformer. Ever since the NES I mostly played games from other companies on my Nintendo systems. During the N64 - GC era, the drought of third party games was so extreme I had to buy myself a PS2 and XBOX to compensate. I also played a lot of PC games during that time, mostly RPGs like Baldur's Gate and Diablo, but also some FPSs like Half Life and Unreal Tournament.

I hope those days of third party drought on Nintendo systems is behind us because I'll always prefer to play on Nintendo hardware.

I definitely still prefer my PC for most things, but I have already gotten way more out of my Switch than I ever expected to. Like I really forgot about the simple pleasure of playing a game in bed. The small screen and the JoyCons aren't great for everything, I am not a fan of playing Rise in handheld at all, but for example I am currently going through Fire Emblem Three Houses and treating myself to an hour or so every night of that in bed before going to sleep, which has become a wonderful part of my daily ritual.

Hello all!

The first touches I had with gamers were playing always as Luigi with my sisters Nintendo. My first console was the original Playstation and the first game was Crash Bandicoot 2. After a long run with Playstation, couple of years ago my wife got me the Switch for birthday and. Though my taste in gaming is varied, from Civilization to Splatoon via Zelda, I tend to enjoy well-crafted stories in games the most.

That'll be all, have a nice day everyone!

Currently playing:
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 (Switch)
Ghost of Tshushima (PS4)

Hello,

I’ve been lurking for a while until I felt like posting something so I made an account. Now I enjoy posting my thoughts on this website.

I enjoy all sorts of games. Though I don’t have much time to play anymore. (Adulting)

Like the switch as I can pick it right up, and set it down quick if I have to.

People here seem nice. So I think I’ll stick around.

@Snatcher

Yeah… I mostly do it at work though when things are slow and I don’t have anything productive to do… It’s a way to pass time I suppose. I think there are a lot of lurkers out there.

Think of it as reading those columns in the paper where people express their opinions on whatever subject. Here you can choose a subject and get many different opinions. Think that makes sense lol

Hi, the name's Mikmoomamimocki. I've been reading on Nintendo Life for a while now but only recently made an account. These forums are cool because most people here are Nintendo nerds like I am.

Ah, now I found the "I'm new" Thread

I am Walter from Austria, so don't wonder if my english may not be the clearest here and there. I am always open for corrections to learn!

I switched from Sony to Nintendo in Februrary 2021, because the Switch does what Playstation could no longer for me: the love for play. Super Mario Odyssey becomes my absolute favourite game, it is so lovely and beautiful, a go-to game when I am in a bad mood for sure! Before the Switch I was Playstation only since PS1, and before that I grew up with the classics like N64 and Game Boy. I am open for many genres, only horror and that kind of stuff is not my piece of cake. Well, that's about me so far

FAVOURITE GAME: Super Mario Odyssey
FAVOURITE OST: Deus Ex: Human Revolution

@Helios26 Hello! I got a major sense of deja vu since I could've sworn I had seen you before but I think that was a Twitter account called 'Kelios' that I was confusing you with. Regardless, I hope you have a great time here!

Hey, I'm new here. I'm currently more Nintendo than Sony. I like Legend of Zelda games. I play Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I seem to like short sentences. Probably because I'm shy.

Q. I ask, "Is there anyone who doesn't think I'm weird?"
A. She shakes her head sadly "No, there isn't."
Why is Mass Destruction always talking about Bebe?
