I... haven't heard any buzz about these comics. And I am subscribed to the ARMS subreddit! I'd pay if all available ARMS comics were digitally available on Humble Bundle or something.
I watched a few episodes of the anime, and it looks good! This game might be the thing to get me into the series proper (just like One Piece Unlimited World R did for me). ...Also, was the headline typed with autocorrect? Haha.
@Nincompoop "could've launched it a month ago" + "it's better to delay and improve the game" = ??? I get what you're saying, but that looks a bit silly.
I got the game and a bunch of tables. The graphics didn't really matter to me, as I play in portrait mode all the time. An upgrade from 30 to 60 fps is much appreciated, though.
I have the first two games on 3DS, and I thought they were enjoyable. I've put an ungodly amount of hours in Brave Dungeon, though. On both 3DS and Switch. So uh... bring on this third entry. On Switch too, hopefully!
I'll try this. Although with Xenoblade just released, the more interesting looking Octopath on the horizon, and me finally getting into FFXIV... I think I have more than enough life-consuming RPGs in my life.
I preordered the special edition of XC2. I'll get the season pass once I think it offers enough. I won't fall for it again after BotW, Nintendo. Where is that darn story update, anyway?
Why does the opening paragraph suggest that US and Japan are the only locations in the world? Hah. Already got this game preordered, can't wait to play!
I've played this game on PC and I think it's pretty good. I still think Telltale makes the best games when the subject matter is humorous instead of dark (Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Borderlands are their three best games in my opinion). I do like how they take some very big risks in this game that you wouldn't usually see in a Batman story, like some major changes to established characters from Batman's supporting cast.
Eh, I'd much rather have one of the action games. I kind of wish they would go back to the beat 'm up genre of the original game on 3DS, mostly because the bosses in the newer games are absolutely atrocious.
Spits out drink 45 euro for Batman!? Like, just the first season!? That's over twice as much for the game on other consoles! You can get it for 7 euro on Humble Store right now!
I was waiting for this review. Reading about the performance issues and the B/A problem kinda makes me want to get the Steam version instead of this one. I wonder if the B/A thing is in the PC version if you use a Wii U Pro Controller?
While this game certainly is good, it takes some bizarre steps back from previous games' improvements. The menus are just bad, with the words on the buttons being hidden until you select them. The colours for painting the floors on your map being in a sub menu (so now requiring an extra tap on the screen) is just annoying and was an unnecessary change. After the wonderful NPCs of High Lagaard in EO2U and Tharsis in EO4 seeing how utterly bland and uninteresting the NPCs are in EO5 is just a crime. I haven't played EO3, but this game is at least the third(!) time that the bar was run by a 'sexy' lady. A generic merchant runs the store, a generic prince in the palace, a generic knight in the guild. Only Jenetta from the inn was a fun character. At least I found the aforementioned knight fishing on one of the earlier floors, so maybe once I progress the NPCs will improve. My complaining aside this is still a great RPG gameplay wise, but I thought I'd write down my issues just in case someone wants a second opinion in addition to this review.
That golden armour looks extremely good. If what the comments are saying is true, I'm also looking forward to another map (even though I haven't finished a single one from the base game yet :') )
Nintendo and Microsoft seem to be pretty good buddies with each other as of late. I welcome any game Microsoft can bring to the table (as long as it's good, of course!)
I find this strange, as earlier today I saw a snippet of an interview with someone at Capcom, who said that they "consider Switch as an important multi-platform outlet" and that they "have no comment on Switch exclusive games". Sounds like the MHW development team and Capcom are not on the same page, hah. Personally I do hope that Capcom brings more multiplats to Switch and doesn't make too many exclusives. Nobody is happy with third-party exclusives except people who still live in the console wars.
Seeing them go for all main quests is nice. I've already seen speedruns directly to Ganon more than enough. I'd love to see them break other parts of the game. Hopefully Odyssey will be in SGDQ!
All these free content updates are seriously appreciated, but I wonder why they're doing this from a business perspective. Hoping the frequent free updates get more people to buy the game outright?
Oof, I feel like Mario Odyssey being so recent in people's memories gives it an (unfair?) advantage. Or maybe I'm just silly and it will still be considered the best years from now. I love Odyssey, but nothing will beat the memories I have with Galaxy (and the soundtrack!)
By the way, if anyone's wondering what these games are: DW8E is kind of a sandbox version of DW8. You pick/create a character and scenario and fight battles to change the fate of the land. If you are looking for story, look elsewhere. SWSoS is a tie-in to SW4 where you follow the entire life of Yukimura Sanada, his family and all the people involved with them. WO3U is a crossover between DW, SW and also has a few characters from other Tecmo Koei franchises (Ninja Gaiden, DOA, even Soul Calibur) and has a crazy story about historical characters time travelling and defeating demon armies.
I haven't played Spirit of Sanada yet, so I'll get that if it releases here. I might also get DW8E (again) just for endless musou-ing on the go. I already own WO3U twice so I won't be getting that again. That game is huge enough without me having to play it three times!
Oof, that looks rough. I'll stick to ARMS and Pokken. I never really got the appeal of Touhou (characters look very interchangable) but I remember a 2D fighting game that I played with a friend on a school computer and that was good fun.
@Drac_Mazoku Funnily enough I got Fate/Extella and Dragonball XV2 without having experienced anything from their franchises (yes, I have not watched even Dragon Ball Z) but Unlimited World Red on the Wii U got me into One Piece!
Man, Inti Creates is killing it on Switch. I played the first game on Steam, and it is a surprisingly fun on-rails shooter. Not nearly as 'raunchy' as it could've been, too. You're not going to see anything in this game that is more shocking than in the usual anime.
Pretty much the only improvement I want in this sequel is a better translation. All dialogue in the original felt very stilted and was riddled with typos. Considering the improvement in dialogue between the original Gunvolt 3DS and the Striker Pack, I think I can trust Inti with this.
Guess I'll weigh in on this too. In my room, where I usually play Switch, I also have my PC to watch Netflix/Youtube/Crunchy on. I also have a smartphone and a tablet. Not to mention my Switch's connectivity up here is bad enough that I would spend most of my time waiting for videos to buffer.
...Of course that doesn't mean this shouldn't happen, though. Plenty of people seem really interested!

I don't care what the game is, I just want something with an actual good story and characters. More Majora, less BotW please.

Nothing this time around for me. I kind of want to play Doom, but I have a PC for that. I'm mostly just waiting for XC2 and Pokémon at this point.

Re: Deals: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For November And December
I have high hopes for XC2. XCX was a fine game on its own, but it fell flat in a lot of ways compared to XC1.
Re: Attack On Titan 2 Will Launch in March on Nintendo Switch
Man, Tecmo Koei is going all-in on the Switch, huh? Fire Emblem Warriors is one of their best musou games yet, in my opinion.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th October (Europe)
I'm not downloading anything this week... but I will be playing the living daylights out of Fire Emblem Warriors.
Re: Video: The Fire Emblem Warriors Launch Trailer Sets the Scene for Dramatic Battles
I want this game inside my Switch right now. The last few days until a game release are always the worst.
Re: Take a Look at Three Musou / Warriors Games Heading to Switch in Japan
