@Rainbowfire Bayonetta Origins is such an amazing experience! I went back and finished it about a week or so ago. I'm sure it didn't sell well, and I don't hear many people talk about it, which is a shame. It's in my top 5 best games I've played this year so far, and this year has been great for gaming. I hope you enjoy it 😁.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 3rd)

Yesterday was my birthday, so I decided to treat myself to a Splatoon 3 Switch OLED console to add to my collection. It's easily my favorite of all the special edition OLED systems. So over the weekend I'll be downloading 1tb worth of games/updates to it. I just did this last month with TOTK Switch OLED 😳.

Other then that, I'm still playing through Breath of the Wild before I start TOTK.

Series X- GTA 4 & Ghostwire Tokyo

PS5- Dead Island 2, Sakuna of Rice and Ruin

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 6th)

Switch- Bayonetta Origins, Resident Evil 6 (Mercenaries), Atelier Ryza

PS5- Dead Island 2 (co-op), Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Overcooked All You Can Eat, Blue Reflection

Xbox Series X- F.e.a.r., Gears 2, Coffee Talk

I'll also probably stare at my Zelda TOTK Switch OLED and then put it back in the box.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Happy Gaming!

Re: Official Nintendo Switch SD Card Line Expands With 1TB Zelda Card And Cute Yoshi Design

I understand the convenience of going all digital, especially for a hybrid system. But I will always prefer physical media for preservation and I like to collect games.

Better deals and using less SD storage also makes choosing cartridges over digital an even easier decision.

I agree. I bought my 1TB micro SD cards for $300 each a few years back. It's nice to see how far the price has dropped since then. Same with SSD's for PS5 at least, not so much for Series X/S yet...

Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Nintendo Controller? Every Nintendo Pad Ranked

DTfearTheBEARD

As far as standard controllers go, the Switch Pro controller is the best Nintendo has made so far.
HD rumble, great battery life, big face buttons, nice design.

Besides the drift issues, I really like the joy-cons and prefer to use split joy-con while gaming in bed docked to the TV. Especially for rpg's, visual novels, and shooters with gyro aiming.

The Gamecube controller (WaveBird) will always hold a special place in my heart. It's perfect for games designed for it (Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart Double Dash, Smash Bros Melee, ect.

I'm also a big fan of the Wii U gamepad and pick it over the Wii U Pro controller any day. But the Wii U Pro controller has the best battery I've seen on a controller. I had to charge them mabey twice a year.

When It comes to Xbox, the Elite Series 2 is definitely my favorite controller.

Playstation now has my favorite controller of all time with the Dualsense Edge.

Re: Nintendo Download: 20th April (North America)

I didn't pre-order any games this week. But I couldn't resist the temptation to pre-order the Zelda OLED system from Best Buy last night. Another Switch system is the last thing I should be buying, but I can't help it. This should (hopefully) be my last Nintendo console until a next gen Nintendo system comes out...

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Atelier Ryza 3?

DTfearTheBEARD

I want to pick up a copy sooner than later. But I haven't played the first 2 games yet. I prefer physical but I do see Atelier Ryza 1 on sale in the Eshop for $30. Should I get that or can I find a physical copy for around that price? I see physical copies of Atelier Ryza 2 on Amazon but not the first game.

Since Resident Evil 4 Remake released it's taken up most of my gaming time and will continue to do so.

I finally picked up copies of Bayonetta Origins & Metroid Prime Remastered yesterday. I started Bayonetta last night and so far so good.

With Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, & Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse I still need to finish.

Re: Soapbox: I Scoffed At Switch Lite, Then I Backpacked Through South East Asia

DTfearTheBEARD

When the Switch Lite was announced, I was one of those people who thought a Switch that couldn't Switch. What's the point? But I ended up buying one a few months after release (yellow) and it became my main since I play mostly portable. Then I bought the grey, turquoise, & Pokémon Sword & Shield lite consoles. Years later my Switch oled is my main portable go to because of the big beautiful screen and better battery life. But I sometimes use a lite to do some grinding in an rpg. Other then that they mostly go unused...

This weekend will be all about Dead Space Remake for PS5. Some single-player Goldeneye 007 on Series X. And Persona 3 Portable on Switch.

I started Dead Space last night, and wow, what a visual upgrade compared to the 360 version! The 3D audio sounds amazing also! Hopefully, it sells well, and we see a remake of Dead Space 2 eventually. And a brand new Dead Space game one day as well.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden?

DTfearTheBEARD

Last night, I gave in and downloaded the double pack of P3 & P4 for Switch after playing some of P3 on my Series X thru Game Pass. I haven't played P4 yet, but Persona 3 looks great in portable mode on my Switch OLED. These games are perfect for portable play, and I might be able to finish them vs. being tethered to a TV.

Hopefully, a physical version will be available soon. But at least the digital copy only costs $20, which isn't bad.

So far, I'd give Persona 3 an 8/10
Persona 5 Royal 9/10

Re: Bayonetta 3 Version 1.2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

DTfearTheBEARD

@Friendly I assumed Bayonetta 1 was going to have a low print run for physical copies. So I made sure to pick up a copy asap! Idk where you live, but here in the US Bayonetta, 1 copies are sold out 😕. Right now, the cheapest way to get a physical version of Bayonetta 1 is thru the 10th anniversary bundle for PS4 & Xbox One. Hopefully, you are able to find a Switch version for retail.

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Says He Prefers To Buy Video Games Digitally

DTfearTheBEARD

I'm physical all the way because I prefer to own the games I purchase and will be able to play them anytime without a problem when the digital stores shut down (PS3 & PS Vita/Wii U/3DS). Plus, I love looking at my big ol collection of physical games on my shelf 🥰.

I understand the convenience of digital, and I'm not against it because I have subscriptions to Game Pass & PS Plus Premium. I know digital is the future, but I'm not looking forward to it being the only option along with streaming. It's sad to think that the next generation of consoles will probably be all digital 😕.
