Elusive_89

Following the recent update to Mario Kart, if they decide to keep it how it is it will be very interesting to see how the sonic kart racer turns out

Managed to grab myself a Switch 2 at the beginning of the week (perfect start to a week off work haha) and have been playing a lot of games for an hour or so just to see how they perform.

Finally decided on a replay of BotW mixed with Mario Kart World and my constant Tetris 99 obsession!

@ToDaisy Same here!

Aiming to finish Phoenix Wight Ace Attorney, currently on the last case. It's been a lot of fun revisiting, played it originally on DS at release but picked up the trilogy collection on switch a couple of years ago as I never played the sequels on DS.

So possibly a whole weekend spent in court, with the occasional Tetris 99 game.

@Rooty If I knew how to cover my text for spoilers I would haha - I'll just say that what you said about the save point definitely rings a bell, I'm pretty sure the party was on a ship as well, through space?

I think I was about 15/16 when this came out, I remember not understanding the battle system AT ALL but loving the art style.
I got stuck against a boss about half way through and never finished it.

Hopefully the port is solid and I'll pick it up on sale.

@HeadPirate Spot on.

@jump Careful now

As someone who played the original at release I can't say I noticed the doors, I was too misty eyed at 6:30am squeezing 10 minutes in before work to care haha. Man I'm so happy to be playing this again, literally haven't touched it since '03 - Year 9 of secondary school, yikes...

Dude!!!! So happy!! Literally all I wanted haha

MH Sunbreak is my constant, so il no doubt do a few hunts over the weekend, recently switched to the Hammer after not really clicking with it in World.

My switch died about a year ago and I've finally managed to replace it! So I'm dipping and diving between a lot of games I haven't played for so long. Lost all my save files so started again on everything, MH Rise is the big one, trying to get ready for Sunbreak but still in low rank. Playing the demo for Triangle Strategy as I've been excited for that since the first demo, will pick it up soon.

I do go back, but it's rare that il finish it a second/third time. I think when I get the urge to replay a game, I'm also wishing I could go back to that time when I first played it, not to get all "woe is me" but life isn't particularly great at the moment, so yeah, I feel the need for a comfort game and boot up Skyrim, remembering that I stayed up till midnight and headed to Asda to buy it at launch, remembering being in a party on the 360 with my friend who I've since lost touch with, staying up till 5am getting lost in its awesomeness and chatting away.

There's a few games I do this with, games are like albums, I remember what was happening in my life at the time of playing and long for those experiences again as well as the game/album.

Working most of the weekend sadly, but will squeeze in some gaming where I can. Recently made the stupid decision to buy Skyrim (again) on switch - £50, more money than sense. But the ability to have that game portable was too much! So il be playing that when I can.

Downloaded bomberman but haven't played it yet so hopefully dip my toe if I get chance.

@Nintendo_Pone I hate when that happens, I feel your pain haha.

I feel like the only person who doesn't like this game, lol. I respect it from a distance, have tried a couple of times for it to click, sadly it never has.

Hope it's worth the wait for the fans, a delay for quality purposes is always welcome.

@Lady_rosalina You're right, sorry.

Fingers crossed we get a few Zelda remasters and (less likely) a metroid prime trilogy remaster.
I may be misremembering but didn't Nintendo say they expect to sell insert massive number here of games this year? So possibly BotW 2 this Christmas?

Who knows, I'm optimistic anyway, actually looking forward to E3 this year, haven't felt like that since 2013 ish.

@nessisonett Don't talk about my mom's yo.

Bring back Overboard.

@Muddy_4_Ever I am by no means a veteran of the series (World was my first) but I am around 10 hours in Rise and pretty much every hunt has lasted about 5 minutes, 10 at the most. Which I find extremely disappointing.
So far this game has lacked any challenge, I'm waiting for my "Diablo moment" of hitting a wall for days trying to beat a monster. Hopefully it comes.

But yeah, no hour long epic hunts (yet)

@Nickjt is your friend connected to the internet? Correct me if I’m wrong but these events require a game update.

@giveahoot Sure, like I said in my first comment I guess I’m just not that guy to leave reviews.

@Yorumi Fair enough, I guess in a sense they’re asking for a bit of backlash then.

@Yorumi P.S. I wasn’t implying you was playing armchair dev

@Yorumi I’m hesitant to comment on Nintendo’s decision making, I’m not a fan of playing armchair developer. I have zero idea what it would take to implement that feature, so yeah my frustration would be aimed at the reviewers for not sharing that information.

@giveahoot Fair enough, I should have stated I haven’t actually read any reviews (I’ve played the series since the GC so I wanted to go in blind). It is sad that reviewers have left that information out, maybe that’s where people’s anger/frustrations should be aimed?

I don’t know if it’s an age thing, but even if I was genuinely disappointed in a game, the last thing that enters my head is “oh il go and write a review”.

Leave it to the professionals, read the reviews. If you did that (and the reviewer did their job and made sure to point this information out) then your argument is invalid.

Will definitely pick this up in the future, my backlog can’t handle any more!!
I swear if I don’t clock at least 3 games in this isolation I’ll be gutted haha

I have this game and really feel I missed out due to buying it late (just before Christmas).

I’m having fun, just not as much as I thought I would (didn’t play the first one) a lot of this will of course be due to being 30 and having no friends with a switch to play with haha. But those splatfests sure sound fun!

Will be interested in a third game for sure.

@Spoony_Tech What he said.

Fine by me, my wallet needs a rest.

Hmm, is that a Shenmue jacket I spy?

I’ll be gutted if Astral Chain and DQ go on sale, literally just bought them XD

Didn’t LA Noire do a similar thing on 360? You had to install one of the disks to the HD for better graphics - or am I making this up? Getting old... Lol.

Excited for this though, I enjoy the gameplay of fallout games, but prefer this kind of setting. No day 1 purchase for me, that’s the Mrs birthday!

Never played these games, bring it on!

I remember disliking the demo on the 360 before it launched. Eventually gave it a try and did end up falling in love with it, still prefer 3 though.

Very scary times. I bury my head into AC when I get chance.

Doesn’t bother me, I’ve never been one to mess about with the internal clocks. If I miss an event I miss an event.

Digital preorder sadly, ah well, I hope you lucky people enjoy it!
