Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th March)

I beat Final Fantasy: Rebirth and Oxenfree II: Lost Signals last week.

So I'm going to be starting some new games. One is an indie game called the Book Walker, and the other is Sackboy's Big Adventure.

I also think I will start playing the second game in Another Code: Recollection. I beat the first a few days after launch but never got around to the second.

I finished Lords of the Fallen (2023, Steam). It was a really underrated game IMO.

I gave up on Mario and Luigi: Brothership (Switch). I like the game it just goes on too long. I'm going to pick it up again later.

I'm pretty far into Final Fantasy XVI (Steam). Probably my favorite Final Fantasy game since 12 (Playstation 2).

I'm playing:

Final Fantasy XVI (Steam)
Valheim (Steam)
Mario and Luigi: Brothership (Switch)
UFO 50 (Steam)

Really liking M+L: Brothership, but I can already tell it's going to overstay its welcome. That map is huge, and the dialog really doesn't hold a candle to the old M+L games.

I do really like the ship mechanic though, and the fighting is really well done (even if it does take forever to load in, then use a bunch of brother moves, etc.). I feel like they could have streamlined the animations like they do in later Final Fantasy games after the first showing of a move.

I've been playing FANTASIAN (yes, it's spelled with all caps for some reason) on Apple Arcade. It's really fun, and it's coming to switch later this year.

I've also jumped into a bit of Lords of the Fallen (2023) on Steam. It's a lot like Dark Souls but I find it a bit easier to deal with. I liked Dark Souls, but the older I get the less patience I have for those sorts of games.

I did try and download CrossCode on steam, but for some reason the servers won't let me download that particular game. So I bought it on Switch and am refunding it on Steam.

I tend to get any physical Indies on Switch and keep my digital collection on Steam, so this is slightly frustrating.

I ended up getting Tears of the Kingdom for a really good deal. I liked BoTW but wasn't as crazy as everyone else so I held off on it.

I shouldn't have, I love Tears. I really like the new abilities better than the ones in BoTW. It seems almost like minecraft lite sometimes like when I can build a bridge or something.

I also think the story is way better. I'm still not crazy about the combat though. Still, I'm really enjoying it and going to focus on that this weekend.

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Everything Coming In The Final Free Update

DoctorSushi

It's a good free update. I like how they are adding features from New Leaf in here like the island (even if it does seem stripped down) and ordinances.

I do wish they had simple minigames to play with visitors. Any one remember the minigames on old DS mario games? Those kind of multiplayer games to play with villagers and other players visiting would be so much fun.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Price?

DoctorSushi

Honesty it's really expensive and a testament to how out of touch Nintendo is when it comes to their online offerings.

I can't speak for everyone, but what I would like is a more stable online service, with voice chat, text chat, and some sort of social media lite interface to share screenshots with friends. It doesn't have to even be that fancy.

To play retro games, I want the virtual console to pick and choose what I want to play. And it's just ridiculous that games don't transfer over from previous virtual consoles. I have very old games on my 360 account that still work great on my Series S.

I don't think most people want to subscribe to retro games they've definitely already bought before.
