Don't sneeze

@Octane Wooo is out already? This is nano technology right? No but nano technology is coming!!!

Mine is 128 GB Sandisk and i think that's more than enough for me. 😉

@JaxonH That 1TB card is a thing of beauty. Are you covered now? I remember you saying you had a couple of 400GB cards already.

@OorWullie
It really is, and I never thought we’d see the day until well past the end of the Switch generation.

For “physical whenever possible, digital only when there’s no physical”, yes. That 1TB should last all gen. For all the digital retail games... not so much. Only a quarter space remaining for that 1TB card. But it’s fine. Can split it between 3rd party and 1st party games on 2 separate cards again if I must.

Tell ya what, I started 2017 out with a 256gb, and I thought I was good. After all, a 512gb hard drive lasted 5 years on Wii U, and a 2TB PS4 has lasted all gen with much bigger games that are mandatory install (have a 6TB for my X1X, but a TON of 3rd party games).

So I’m good I thought to myself. That’ll last

Then this happened.

I give him a few months tops before he's on his second 1TB card.

I don't really see a need to upgrade from my 256GB card anytime soon. Of course, I said the same thing about my 128GB card, and here we are.

I made a 32gb card last me til December or so and I had that card since launch. Granted I rarely buy big downloads on the eshop. I didn't upgrade to my 128gb until December. When I finish a game i usually just archive it which saves space

Anyone try Saint's Row yet? The game is silly, but that's what makes it so fun to play. It's so out there. Lots of cursing but, I've learned to let that go in one ear and out the other. The humor is top notch though.

In the beginning of the game, something happens and you fall out of a plane, and you catch up with Shandi and launch your parachute, then a huge airliner comes straight at em while gliding, and he says "just remember how good you felt when I caught you" and throws her, shoots out the plane and shoots right through the middle of the plane taking out baddies along the way, comes out the back, catches up to her and catches her again lol, shes all mad and swearing at him

I definitely need to come back to it after Final Fantasy XII

Saints Row 3 was the one that went too far on the "silly" scale for me. I prefer Saints Row 2, which kept a straight face most of the time while peppering in hilarious mechanics and a wonderfully freeform approach to character customization. It was arguably the best GTA game on the Xbox 360/PS3 until GTA V.

@Ralizah

Fair enough, the fault is mine. I was under the assumption that since Idea Factory is the publisher a western release for Mary Skelter 2 was inevitable, before it was even officially announced. Especially since dungeon rpgs sell better here in the west than their usual offerings of visual novels and otome games.

@JaxonH I’m playing it and loving it (again!). Their take on horde mode is definitely a good laugh, try it out.

New Gameplay for MUA3

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is getting lots of love and attention. Great to see. And the game really does look excellent.

@subpopz
There’s always the “main” game, but with another dozen intermittently on the side. Final Fantasy X I played to completion, while spending 15 hours in Darksiders, a bit in Dragon’s Dogma, a bit in Mortal Kombat, Cuphead, etc etc. Now Final Fantasy XII is the main game, with a bit of Saint’s Row, a bit of Sniper Elite, a bit of all these other upcoming games.

There’s always the main game though.

@JaxonH
Eh, I think the "who cares?" question is part of the reason why the gaming industry is the way it is right now in respect to monetized DLC and microtransactions and all that.

Too many of us said "eh, who cares - it doesn't appeal to me so it doesn't matter" when it came to stuff like Oblivion horse armor and 15-dollar CoD maps, but lo and behold: Some of us may not care, but apparently plenty of people do and actually buy this crud to the tune of millions of dollars, making publishers bolder and bolder when it comes to DLC.

My bottom line remains: as a usual non-complainer, I actually sympathize with the Tetris 99 outcry. It was marketed to us as a totally free perk as part of NSO. And now suddenly it's not. At least not if you want to have the full game. All NSO subs HAD the full game mere hours ago, for free, as was advertised, but now we don't if we don't pony up some cash. That irks me. Stinks a bit of free-to-play mobile fodder that really isn't free if you want to actually experience the game. My prediction is that Tetris 99 will soon find itself with more premium modes than not, and those who aren't willing to pay and pay and pay will be left with just the online royale, and at that point the game will look identical to thousands of other free-to-play money pits.

Tetris 99 is still Tetris 99. The game as it was, will continue being a free perk for subscribers.

The only difference now is that it also acts as the general Tetris title every console gets. People who want that, can now buy it. Online sub or not.

Like, seriously, had they released the extract same game again as a stand alone $9.99 release (with all the dlc content, obviously) without the 99 in the name, would people be dramatic over that?

And of all the things to gripe over... I mean, it's ****ing Tetris ffs, who gives a ****?

They cancelled metroid prime 4 I was gone buy a switch to play it . No way

@Ninfan MP4 wasn't cancelled.

@Galarian_Lassie they scraped what they were making ( after a year working on it) and are starting new one so won't know when it's out of maybe with what I watched it it will ever b

@Ninfan I’m confused by your name. Your name makes me assume you are a fan of Nintendo, yet the only reason you were going to buy a Switch was to play Metroid Prime 4?
