This weekend I'm playing DQ11 on the Switch and Indiana Jones on Series X. I've put STALKER 2 on hold for now. Its a great game but its really testing my patience at times and I'm not really in the mood for that. On PS5 I'm currently not playing anything but I am considering Rebirth, Infinite Wealth or Silent Hill 2. I might pick up one of them before the sale ends.
As for next year, there's currently 31 games I'm looking forward too. If 1/3 of them actually releases I'll be more than happy with 2025.
@Friendly Records are made to be broken. I'm all for it. It feels especially good for Nintendo because Wii U flopped and the Switch is truly awesome. But to be honest, I would be excited for a record break no matter what console did it.
I dont need no info. Im buying one no matter what. I have yet to buy a nintendo system I have regretted. Their 1st party games are just too strong and good.
TotK on top. Barely touched anything else. I kind of like it like that. My goal next year is to play fewer games on all three consoles (not less play time).
No matter how many handhelds on the market I will always keep a Switch. Nintendos catalog is too strong to ignore and I'm not the type to "steal" or "hack" games to make them work elsewhere than where they originally belong or have been released.
Looking at this list made me realize I havent bought one game which came out this year for the Switch. Only game I bought it DQ11. Im considering Mario Party Jamboree for the holidays though but yeah, this year has been pretty dry for me on the Nintendo front.
@OorWullie I was about to comment you have barely started until I read your next paragraph. Lol. Enjoy! I recently started my second playthrough snd I am thrilled for all that is ahead.
Switch: DQ11, just made it to Gallopolis. Absolutely love this game. Xbox: I finished Fractured But Whole. I plan to unlock some more achievements before retiring it. I also decided to jump back into Control again after finishing the Alan Wake 2 DLC had me itching for more Remedy madness. PS5: Hunting down the final costumes in my personal GOTY Stellar Blade.
Switch: Really enjoying DQ11. A true GOAT type of game. I can't really explain it but it feels right to play now that Christmas is coming up. Maybe its the music. Xbox: I just finished the first Hellblade game for the second time. It still holds up great, despite the weak combat. The story is just too good to be ignored. I'm also close to finishing Fractured But Whole. PS5: I'm on my fifth playthrough of Stellar Blade on my quest to pick up the last costumes from the latest patch.
Switch: I picked up DQ11 on sale this week. I've played it before on Gamepass but considering how great that game is I just had to do another run. Also, sidequesting TotK.
Series X: Jumping between Hellblade and Fractured But Whole.
I was supposed to start Flight Sim 24 and Stalker 2 but with launch issues and bugs I have put them both on hold.
PS5: Stellar Blade, hunting down the NieR costumes before starting my 5th NG+. Yes, it's that good!
Xbox: Jumping between Hellblade 1 and South Park The Fractured But Whole while I'm waiting for Flight Sim 24 and Stalker 2 next week. Switch: Sidequesting TotK. PS5: Nothing as I just platted Dragon Age Veilguard. That game has gotten way too harsh responses online. It's a good game and I especially loved the companion quests and rewarding exploration. I'd rate it an 8. Act 3 is a 10 though, great ending!
PS5: I have been playing Dragon Age Veilguard daily since release. I have already clocked in 40+ hours and have enjoyed every second of it. Xbox: Resubscribed to Gamepass to play Cod 6. Finished the campaign which was a blast. I might play MW2 and 3 now even though I have heard their campaigns are weaker. Switch: I have made a new habit lately of sidequesting in TotK when the TV is busy. Such a brilliant game!
Only reason I havent preordered it is because I kind of want a Switch 2 first. Depending on when that system release Ill pick up this game accordingly.
On Gamepass I just finished CoD 6 campaign. That was a good one. Moving on to zombie mode now. On PS5 Im playing Dragon Age Veilguard, or Manfred Dating Sim as I like to call it. I've gotten pretty far and this game is a GOTY contender in my book. Absolutely love to be back in that world.
Had some problems logging on but once I got there I had some fun playing but to me it got old real quick. Better timewaster than random Yt vids I guess so theres that.
Omg I cant believe it. I managed to exit the app when I recieved the certification code on my email and now my account is stuck in limbo :'( I already contacted support. I hope they can fix this.
I hope the Switch 2 somehow will be able to play Xenoblade X. That game is too good to be left behind on the Wii U. As far as their next game, I hope its a sequel to Xenoblade X. Xenoblade 3 had one of, if not the best ending in a game I have ever played and I would hate for it to be tampered with. A sequel to Xenoblade 3 would be like Toy Story 4.
I'm on a lovely repeat binge while I'm waiting for the new Dragon Age.
Switch: Sidequests/adventures in TotK. Series X: BG3, started a second playthrough as a Bard this time. PS5: Alan Wake 2, The final draft (ng+).
Recently finished: Shattered Space DLC. Enjoyed everything it had to offer. There are some things I wished would have been there but nothing to complain about. If you liked the base game I'm sure you will like Shattered Space as well.
I also played the Metaphor demo and it seems great!
One of my favourite gaming studios of all time. Their games have brought me tremendous joy over the years. Always looking forward to what they do next.
@cosmograph It's definetly a good game based on the demo so far. Combat is a bit more complex than Persona 5 (only game I can compare it to) but still easy to learn. Story is very intriguing I think. All characters are fine but I feel I need to get to know them better. I havent enqountered the bonding system yet so I can't comment on that. Design, graphics, music, ui, etc. Is top tier. If you have played Persona games, enjoy them and aren't burned out then I'm sure you will enjoy this game as well.
This weekend I'm playing the Metaphor demo. I loved Persona 5 so I'm definetly interested. Other than that I might do some sidequesting in Zelda TotK. Recently finished: I honestly finished this game and got the plat a long time ago but the other day I unlocked the last outfits in Stellar Blade. It's my GOTY for sure with its excellent combat, boss fights and soundtrack. Oh, and the game has been completely bug free since launch day. A high quality game indeed that I highly recommend if you like action games.
@Anti-Matter Theres a lot of dudes you can use in the Xenoblade games. All can be shirtless and most have six packs. Warning though, theres also a bunch of waifus in those games but you can just not use them/close your eyes during cut scenes/put a bunch of clothes on them.
@HammerGalladeBro Personally I'm very happy with my Xbox. But what will be interesting is if those numbers go up after TGS and the Xbox showcase they had there.

Bluelink45. To answer your question for "perfect game series" on the Switch. My answer is the four Xenoblade games. Cheers.
Re: NieR:Automata Surpasses Another Sales Milestone, Plans For 2025 Teased
A Remake of Drakengard 1-3 where the games are actually fun would be most welcome. The story is incredible but the gameplay is so so terrible.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th September)
@cosmograph the medieval fantasy setting is pretty awesome imo. All the monsters you meet and fight makes a lot more sense. Lol.

Other than that I might do some sidequesting in Zelda TotK.
