I've only been using these free demos to get week free online access to try out new games I have since I don't plan on buying that online mess anytime in the near future. xD So thanks!
Despite the back and forth people have been giving this, I've been having a good time so far with the game. ^_^ It looks like they have addressed the issues that have been nagging folk, too, so I hope they can adjust the grind accordingly.
Definitely snagging BoxBoy + Boxgirl! I'll probably grab Picross S3 eventually when I get S2...
For some reason Homo Machina and maybe Vandals both have my interest, too, and should be easy enough buys due to their low prices. O: Ha.
Damn, didn't expect a few things to grab my attention this week, considering I have Lone Wolf to finish atm, and I'm getting though Mortal Kombat... x.o Ouch, haha.
I wish it was just an insert inside the sleeve instead of on the actual box art...then I wouldn't care how big it was because I could always just remove that off after purchase.
Yesss.... this has been one of my more anticipated Switch releases for a loooong while now. It was revealed very early on and then just fell off the face of the Earth.
Can't wait though, by looks of the last randomly spread tf out trailers.
So they had stuff planned for Captain Toad, etc, but not this? Love this game, but it's one of the first party releases with the most blatant potential for DLC to stretch out its legs... not to mention a character or two in-game get your hopes up. >.<
@Retupmocnin It helps cut down on resources in-between new ones, so I'm okay with it, but honestly I'd rather these out of nowhere than last gen ports sold at full retail. At least it's a neat lil surprise(as long as they keep it fairly priced); stuff like MK8 Deluxe, as well as it sold, don't interest me.
@Ryu_Niiyama That's what caught my attention as well. It's good to hear they are looking directly for feedback, so I'll give the demo a go when I get the chance. It's been one of the games on my wish list since the announcement.
@ThatNyteDaez Out of the guys list, I gotta agree with you on Volkner. I've never really been too drawn to blonde guys, but he does have a cute design I'll admit and he seems like he could be chill around someone who can kick him into gear. N is also a good choice, mainly because I love his character.
As far as the ladies go, neither of my main interests(Olivia and Winona) are on there, so Erika def gets my vote. She's adorbs.
@JasmineDragon @CTMike I don't see anything wrong with the sneakers, tbh. They're kinda cute. It's not like they're advertised as shoes to do construction work in or somethin'.
I personally think those would fly better than any of the clothes by a country mile. o.x Those are what I 'couldn't see an adult wearing' just because...
I'm making good progress in Phantasy Star atm and I may have a shot at getting to Gunman Clive HD since we got more snow apparently coming so idk how that's gonna affect my time... x_o
@TheFanatic Happy bday; hope you get enjoyment out of the cash you got for it. ^^
@Prof_Yoshtonics Ys VIII was good stuff! As I put in another post, it got me randomly into the series and I got through Ys I and II Chronicles recently on PSP.
@JaxonH Idk what it is, but Monster Hunter has never fully clicked with me, but I'll keep an eye out for DD once I break into the others you say it's a mashup of(not to say I couldn't get it sooner).
I'm a big rpg fan though, yeah. It's why I'm awaiting Camelot to continue Golden Sun and why Octopath was an insta-buy. I may borrow a copy of Tales of V though... friend and I have both been talking since its announcement, but I'm tryna stay away from them atm. ππ
Any more recent puzzle games you recommend(if you're into those) though? Love them, but I think the last ones to really grab me were Puyo Puyo Tetris and Picross S(I still have yet to get S2), though I pick up the odd lil one like The Bridge. I think I have some others sitting on my wish list.
Yet another success story; music to my ears really. ^^ I've been on the fence.
@JaxonH Gotta raise my hand in the 'go out of their comfort zones' dept. I've always liked indies, quirky/niche titles, and sports games(hope Wwe 2k20 is a comeback!), but I kinda jumped off the plane of home consoles after GameCube and stayed mostly portable until Switch(got a Wii U near launch, but eek... I guess it did get me into Darksiders ). It's nature of being a true hybrid just works, and 3rd parties actually jumping on board again naturally has made me dip my toes into those and other series I've overlooked.
I got Doom(which led me to grab Wolfenstein 2; Doom Eternal is a lock), Ys Viii(I even just finished Ys I and II Chronicles on a friend's PSP...hell, said friend borrowed my copy of Ys Viii and he ended up getting his own), LA Noire(c'mon Rockstar), Diablo 3 Ultimate(friend got me into this; Walmart BF price screwup helped, too ππ), etc. Not including the fact that I still plan to grab Skyrim and Dark Souls at some point, and Mortal Kombat 11(welcome back) is damn sure on radar, to name a few others.
@Triforce79 It's not like test driving a car where you -have- to get a feel for yourself with it to know what it's like; It's a waste of $20 and here' are some personal reasons why:
I hardly game online
The infrastructure still mostly sucks from what I've seen(just couldn't complain as much before because it was free...but to pay for that? No thanks); heck, just look at all the Smash complaints.
They killed Club Nintendo for the trash that is My Nintendo, so can't even trust the 'special offers'...these whack, expensive controllers aren't a good first impression. π€
AND A BIG ONE...
Idc about NES games on their own(that we keep getting over and over and over again, with nothing else until it's too late); not to mention this half-assed trickle is a big frickin' joke.
They had -more- than enough time to have something suitable as a replacement. Ya know...at least build on the previous library we had. This was their chance to surprise us after taking away the VC, and they do the opposite.
I'm -never- buying the online subscription in its current state(haven't even given the trial a shot), so they're going to have to do better than a pair of expensive controllers w/little purpose...
@Giygas_95 Hey, I respect the willpower because I have to have that atm, too, so I don't have too many games going on at once, since I just finished the main bits of Mario Party and have been on Diablo.
I only put Smash in to get my gold coins, but haven't launched the game yet.
@Thorthegreat12 I think that's what Carson was referring to; the fact that it is a game being made with the Switch in mind from the start(so, in a sense, it is kinda being made from the ground up?).
On topic, I think this may get me to boot up Doom again in the near future. It's amazing to see these games on the go.
Like others have said, the right sale may catch my attention. Shame it doesn't seem up to expectations though... :l Was really looking forward to this since the initial announcement of RCT coming.
@iluvwaynesworld Ikr? I could kick myself for not renewing when I had a weird feeling right before they cut off being able to, since they seem to be honoring it until yours is set to run out. I'm set til March still, so tryna live with it while I can. )-: It was extra incentive to check out other stuff in Best Buy, too, so it's kinda weird.
@Nemodius Eh, I don't see the resemblance, and hey, they could then just get rid of all the actual Link variants(toon, etc).
Just by using his Venus psynergy moveset, for one, would've definitely made him a different character to play.
It's a BIG shame he obviously isn't making the cut now when we have a million frickin Fire Emblem sword people and the like, but I guess it is what it is... at least they fleshed out his Move Psynergy for the assist a bit more it seemed.
This game is looking pretty meh now, but it's whatevs. π€¦πΎββοΈ
Chris Pratt is cute as heck, so this random article grabbed my attention by default. ππ
It's kinda interesting to know he's popular with the Korean audience though.
...and I've been meaning to give this game a proper try since I downloaded it. I'll get around to it soon enough. Might try to before Let's GO snags me for a bit.
