lord save me

@XandertheWise Super Mario Bros Wonder

Then you are
2. You are selecting to NOT update and it keeps prompting you about a pending update

Because there has only been one system update since May

Looks like the SAG strikes is about to now include voice actors for video games. That could affect Metroid Prime 4 depending how much has been completed.

@FragRed what voice acting? there hasnt been any voice acting in Metroid Prime since Metroid Prime 1 and 2.

Every single one of those games besides persona and 13 sentinels has been the exact same price within the last 3 months and judging by the sales trends will be again soon. Soo... not exactly urgent.

That said, if it were me I would snatch all the games less then 5 bucks. Especially since I own and paid more for most of those. 😆 Some of those 70%+ sales for already affordable games are insane good deals

I'm also tempted by the 13 sentinels sale; I'm trying to decide if it's worth waiting for another 6 or 12 months to see if it goes on an even better sale.

@FragRed i not sure if Metroid Prime 4 will feature voice acting at all, the game could be a contemplative isoleted experience

how many levels Super Mario Bros Wonder could have?

@Giancarlothomaz I mean, 3D world had almost 120 levels, super mario maker 2 story mode had 120 (plus a couple dozen official Nintendo levels outside of story mode). Nintendo seems to have a trend of at least 120. New Super Mario Brothers U Deluxe technically has like 164 plus a ton of mini game challenge levels. 🤔

Looking at some of the discussions online surrounding GOTY now that Starfield is out for those with the higher tier editions, and it seems like the general discourse is that the award is between Zelda TotK and Baldur's Gate 3.

The sentiment that I'm seeing is that Starfield, while an absolutely great game, isn't quite the "game of the generation" moment that it was hyped up to be.

@IceClimbers That doesn’t surprise me. I definitely feel this year it’s going to be Balder’s Gate 3 that will win GOTY. Starfield was always going to be impossible to live up to the whole game of the generation hype.

Everybody 1-2-Switch is definitely one of my GOTY 2023 candidate. 😁

Well I just finished Daemon X Machina for the first time. Considering all the praise BG3 is getting, I think it's high time to fire up my copy of Divinity Original Sin II. It's the closest you'd get to BG3 on Switch. It's BG3 minus some production value (3D cutscenes).

@Magician how’s Daemon X Machina? I bought it cheap ages ago and I’ve still not got round to it.

@jump It was...alright. The gameplay is Armored Core-esq. Unfortunately, the mission types and environments are repeated too often. And the story is incoherent.

We are fighting Immortals because they're a threat to humanity. But they're fighting "us", The Outers, because they're trying to save and progress humanity with femto. Except femto is poisonous to humans who aren't The Outers. But The Outers aren't human, they're AI. So that's why the Immortals continue to fight "us".

And The Outers are nothing but mercs who fight alongside and/or against each other depending on contractual obligation.

Wait...what?!?

As though the game's director saw an ouroboros discussion one day and said, "alright, lets do that".

@Magician ah, it sounds like one of those games which only hardcore anime fans can understand what’s going on. I just want to be a big robot and do big robot things!

@Magician WOW this sound like a Kingdom Heart esque plot, let make our games have the most convoluted plot ever

septembre Nintendo Direct in wednesday? did a tease you now or wait for wednesday
