I got it day one on PC and absolutely loved it. Definitely getting it on switch too, as soon as I knock a couple titles off my pile of shame. Radical Fish deserves all the love for this game, amazing work!

And people think two pc screens are impressive!

WAIT. Do you mean to tell me gamers want a full gaming experience for one upfront price instead of lazy, greedy, whale-milking mobile shovelware? What is this sorcery?

Dragon Age and Mass Effect, come oooooon EA!

Finally! I bought the game on day one on pc, poured almost 30 hours into it, but never got around to finishing. It's an absolute gem and it deserves way more attention than it has.

I am never getting Dragon Age on switch, am I.

@Heavyarms55 Unfortunately, no. But they're both easily available on pc and not too demanding, they ran perfectly fine even on my toaster! And my toaster can barely run Skyrim!

@Heavyarms55 The entirety of Cold Steel is one arc that takes place over few years. The first two games were one sorta-contained story and the third game picks up a couple years later. The main character is same, the kids are new, but there's a crapton of already established characters. I'd recommend playing the demo, because it gives you the entire prologue without revealing pretty much anything about how the story will progress. Just to see how you feel about the multitude of returning characters and callbacks to previous events! It's what I did myself. I personally chose to play 1 and 2 after all, but it's because the prologue got me excited X"D But you do you. Most fans will tell you to play the whole arc. Or better yet, the previous two arcs, but that's just ridiculous. I'm gonna go with "depends how you feel".

Trails! Trails! Trails! Maybe XC can keep me occupied til its release, but I'm at chapter 15 already so chances are slim OTL

I may have already burned 20+ hours on Xenoblade since it arrived on Friday. In my backyard, so no one is whining about my health, either!

Time to see what all the Xenoblade fuss is about! /o/ I'm very excited at this point, if the full game plays as good as the screenshots look.

I don't play the game, I'm not even remotely interested, but you have to be either a very sad, or a very bored person to put so much emotion into something you claim you consider so beneath you.

And I just don't let anyone else touch my Switch. It's MINE, peasants, and the germs on it are also MINE! HISSES FURIOUSLY Social distancing! Friends and family must be sacrificed!

I. Need this. NAAAAAAAOWWWW.

My friend said "play this series" so it's exactly what I'm doing! I'm playing the first two via steam (midway through 1 right now), and I'm very excited I'll be able to play the last two on the switch. Especially since saves apparently do not carry over between 2 and 3, only between the pairs.

I tried out the demo but didn't finish it. I really enjoyed the combat, it was really fun! But the writing doesn't sit right with me for some reason, and it's not really a good sign for my time with the full version. So, I'll pass. Hope everyone who's excited gets exactly the game they're hoping it to be!

Fingers crossed for CrossCode, Eastward and Pillars of Eternity II! The last one especially because the physical version appeared all over the Polish online stores and the ads are driving me mad.

Ah yes, the most magnificent of gaming dogs has finally made a crossover leap.

If you want us to use customer support, Nintendo, then how about providing equal quality of it EVERYWHERE? North America can get their joycons fixed for free, yes. My choice is either get them repaired locally for the price of a brand new pair, DIY it, or send them cross the border to Czech Republic, where the nearest repair center of Nintendo's is. You're not even in my damn country!

I love the wording in EA's statement tho: those players DECIDED to settle it with RPS. But of course they did.

Meanwhile, I couldn't install my legally obtained copy of Sims just last week. Origin's reasoning: my antivirus is to blame. Thank you, Nod, for protecting me from harmful software <3

@sanderev Welp, there goes that possible outcome Those damn games, always just an illusion of choice!

"Don't lie to people. Don't post information you know is false, misleading or inaccurate." "Projects can't mislead people or misrepresent facts".
These are direct quotes pulled from Kickstarter's rules.

I won't go as far as to imply there was malicious intent, but regardless of how they put it, Platinum LIED to their backers. They said they were crowdfunding a game (and a Switch port) that already existed and was pretty much ready to ship, and are now claiming "this will fund shiny merch!".
Every reward tier guarantees a copy of the game, yes - but notice the lowest tier is $37, and you were able to pledge anything below that, starting from $10, for no reward. THAT is essentially free money Platinum got, and they got it for lying. For every backer that's okay with it, there is a backer that will feel scammed - and I wouldn't blame them. They paid to get this project off the ground and make the game happen - NOT to fund merchandise they will then have to pay more for to actually own! Just imagine the likes of EA or Koei Tecmo noticing this and thinking it's an acceptable practice!

I'm very interested in how this plays out. I wonder if this is grounds for Kickstarter to pull the funding.

Hellooooooo, Johnny Gat <3 Missed you, man!

I'm Polish and confused, was it not available for everyone before?

Really? Really?! Right in the title? Oh Google, you have so much to learn about clickbaiting on your own video platform.

I liked the base game quite a lot, buuut not enough to buy the expansion. I've put 85 hours into Sword, half of which was mindless grinding for dex entries, and after that I'm burned out. All the power to people who are buying and I hope you guys will have an amazing time! For me, it was simply not interesting enough to want to keep on playing.

With Pokemon, people were actually upset. Okay.
With Astral Chain people also were actually upset. Okay.
Whether or not either was justified isn't important right now, people expressed how a game made them FEEL.

This person did it for no other reason than the fact he could do it, and I hope his gaming devices spontaneously catch on fire while all of his neighbour have loud rabbit intercourse.

"What Atlus deems unacceptable" is developer slang for "we can take down EVERYTHING. F you!"

Joe is a gift to humanity. And to the game because he does one HELL of a marketing job.

@JR150 Gray is for Ashen Wolves, of course!

@OorWullie Pleasepleaseplease tell me you're also from a completely different country than the four you've mentioned!

Atlus: So what do you want
People: /flood the internet
Atlus: But what do you WANT
People: /flood the survey
Atlus: But what DO you want

I've put 230 hours into all four routes of FE3H. I'm still planning at least two more runs because (a) the story DLC and (b) must unlock ALL the supports. I'd still play the hell out of this demake.

Okami 2. Okami 2. Okami 2. Okami 2.
...come on, please.

Literally everyone: My last gen game is too demanding for Switch

CDPR: /happy Polish porting noises

@Ryall I know all that, and believe me, I would've been 100% okay with this! Before Switch I only owned a PC (a toaster, more like) and there has always been a multitude of games I wanted to play but couldn't. It's far from my first time in this position.

The one, ONE thing that baffles me right now is P5S isn't a pure spinoff. It's a sequel, and it's apparently close enough in continuity to P5 that we need an anime to fully understand the game we ARE getting. And the anime isn't even legally available in my country, so there's that X"D Of course there's VPN, and there are illegal ways, but that is a lot of steps Atlus recommends I do before I can enjoy the game. Like a day 1 patch, only I have to code it myself and then install manually by putting files in the correct folders. I just don't think it's worth it, and I can't be the only person who came to that conclusion (for whatever reason). Just... I don't know. I have two degrees in marketing but I have no idea who this game is supposed to be for. It's a spinoff, but also a connected sequel, in a wildly different genre, and both games are on mutually exclusive platforms. And also an anime. WHO is this FOR? Old fanbase? New? The five Persona fans who own both consoles and ALSO don't mind a genre jump? That is a very specific target, if it's what they have in mind.

"You don't need to play P5" is not the same thing as "you can catch up with other media". The first statement implies I need no preparations, the second - that I'm required to spoil P5 to myself in some way if I want to enjoy Scramble. It's one or the other, Atlus!
I'm okay with P5 not coming to Switch, but I'm sick and tired of Atlus pretending they're not baiting us. NOT EVERYONE has the time and money to support two consoles. Stop acting like owning a PS4 is some sort of entry fee to the "real gamer" world.

After expertly cheesing through the final battle of Divinity: Original Sin 2 with charming arrows, I dove into Ni No Kuni. I'm in love. Do not send help.

I hardly have a collection, nor do I have a particularly good story, but there is a story nonetheless? I grew up with a mother who was in charge of all spending decisions in the family, and who firmly believed that video games were "not for girls". There were many "not for girls" things on the list, but video games stung particularly, because I distinctly remember staring at all the colourful cartriges displayed in a local bazaar, and they all said "1000 games in 1", that sounded amazing! Yeah, I didn't know better. Games weren't nearly as popular in my country as they were in the US at the time, and in my neighbourhood we would mostly own demo discs from magazines. Someone who had a full, legitimate copy of The Sims was a valuable friend to have. Oh and piracy was rampant, everyone did that, my dad personally taught me how to. I secretly played the likes of GTA:SA and Medal of Honor with my cousin when the adults weren't looking; On my own PC I was only allowed Disney tie-ins, management sims like Zoo Tycoon and Sim City, or colourful platformers like Rayman or Croc. No Mario for me! Nintendo barely had a presence in my country, I'd heard of Gameboy but I didn't know anyone who owned one. Generally I never had any console, any handheld, until 2018 when I bought a Switch for art commission money.
I wasn't much of a gamer until Dragon Age Origins happened (years after its premiere) and changed my life. But, I still lived with my parents, and after getting yelled at for "wasting my time" on a 2 hours long episode of Life is Strange, and a stern talking to after I was caught shooting an alien in Mass Effect, I figured I needed to stay more on the downlow.
Right now my physical collection consists of five beautiful, giant, 100+ hours Switch games I love with all my heart, and one Pokemon Sword that Stockholm'd me for 85 hours until I completed the dex. I try to only buy games physical when I know they're going to be important to me, and so far I'm content. Meanwhile, my mom went from "it's not for you" to "I worry you spend too much time on it", a sentiment she'd also expressed about reading, acting and art throughout my life, and now I can play the Switch right in her face when I visit on weekends, without a single comment. So yay, happy endings!

I got it day 1 on GOG and I highly recommend! It's pretty different than Gwent as we know it from The Witcher 3, but I think it works in its favour. And the exploration maps are drawn beautifully.

I'm pretty much living in two cities, 60km apart. It's not far, but the Switch is SO much more convenient to take on those trips than a laptop, a mouse, and also a big bulky cable, and also my back hurts, god help me. Graphics are not an issue to me, nor is the switch tax judging from my library. So I guess I'd say I'm not doing anything that feels like a sacrifice? I love this little thing. And a Switch port that works in decent fps and doesn't cut content is always a win in my book.
