Re: The Wii U First Launched Eight Years Ago Today

Benjoo

One of my biggest regrets not getting a Wii u during it's time. My bro bought one hoping I'd get one too but I wasn't interested in gaming at the time. Now he doesn't game anymore and I partially believe it's because I did get one. I love my switch, but some of the features like virtual console. The HD Zeldas and the other games that haven't made it to switch really sound appealing to me. I've bought all of the deluxe games apart from Pikmin 3 and love them all except Bayonetta 1 and 2 (I put 20 hours into both and they just didn't click for me, sorry bayo fans!)

Re: Still On The Fence About Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair? Now's The Time To Strike

@Noble_Haltmann hi, sorry I haven't replied. I've been very busy. I'll get back to you when I can. It was after visiting their website (Playtonic) I realised I had to give this game a shot. After reading the people creating it, leading back to banjo kazooie I knew I had to get it. I actually like Yooka Laylee more than banjo kazooie. Be warned, I know others who have played it, not enjoying it. But at that price you can't go wrong. I strongly recommend this game to all platformer fans, but check out the demo if you have your doubts. Beautiful game 👍

Yooka Laylee and the impossible lair for me. Absolutely obsessed with it now. Feels like a true rare game. Only downfall is the load times but I'm playing this game for the long run. It's the Rare magic I've longed for. Well done Playtonic! Also bought the Toddler and kids puzzle game for the kids. My 5 and 6 year old daughter loves it. A bit pricey and not really much content for the price. It's promised more themes which i hope they do.

Trying to trigger the last few Nabbits on New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe to get my 5 star save file. Then I'll be moving onto a few of the challenges. Amazing game for me.
My next games are Yooka Laylee and the Impoosible Lair and Toads treasure tracker! Have a nice and safe weekend all!

After trying to get into astral chain, bayonetta 2, fire emblem 3h several times and failing to keep me interested. I have come to the conclusion that those types of games are not for me (anybody else feel like that?). Traded those in for Zelda LA and Mario u deluxe as they seem to be more my type. So I'll be playing those abd yooka Layla this weekend! Have a great weekend all

Re: Review: Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - The Weirdest Entry In The Series Is Still Worth A Look On Switch

Benjoo

First time I played ff8 I got sick of t rexes in the garden and decided to take one out at a low level. I don't know how I did it but I was mega chuffed. Also maxing out all of the gfs and 100% ( minus the cards). This was the day prior the net for me. This plus silent hill 1 were my favourite ps1 games. Problem is now though i don't think I could play through it again. Will probs wait for a sale. 7 and 9 had a sale a month after release or so

Re: Poll: Astral Chain Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?

@Bunkerneath

Just had 30 mins gameplay. It's good, finding the buttons and instructions quite overwhelming on screen. Loving it though. Just need more practice. I have bayonetta too. Which I'm gonna dive into after this game.

Edit: I was playing handheld also. I'll try on tv later tonight.

Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Becomes The Largest Fire Emblem Launch In US History

Benjoo

@JamesJose7 Fire emblem 3h is my first FE game. Took some getting used to in terms of understanding what the game was about. Still in part 1 and about 10 hours in and went the golden deer route (normal/classic). A mage died early in my squad leaving me with a member down for now. Was devastated when she died. I quickly learned that a wrong move can have dire consequences. I think it's a amazing how a game can get you attached to the fictional characters and how your initial judgement couldn't be further from the truth!
