Easy 9. It has a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it it's surprisingly quite addictive, especially when playing online with others.
Some Kirby Air Riders some more Pokèmon Legends ZA Roboquest VR on PC. I also feel like playing some Yooka Replayee on PC along with Atelier Ryza Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout DX and Sonic Rumble on PC.
Bonanza is an interesting game to me. Upon boot up I was really enjoying it but once I was almost at the half way point I could feel my interest starting to dwindle and this is the first time this has happened to me when playing a Donkey Kong game. Glad it won this though, it tried something different and it definitely makes a change instead of all this bang bang shootey shootey rubbish that's been flooding the market lately.
I will be playing the events. I played last night and I found it surprisingly really challenging which I liked a lot. I don't think Kirby Air Ride was quite as challenging as this. Once I've gotten some more practice in I plan to jump into the online ASAP.
I played the Final Fantasy VII Remake games on my Rog Ally X so I have no need for them here tbh. If you haven't played them before I think they're an easy recommendation if you were big into the original Final Fantasy VII like I was. Just waiting on that all important final Part 3 now.
@Lizuka The way the Reviewer is describing it as irritating and overcomplicated is stupid though. Definitely sounds like someone who barely played it at all. It has a bit of a learning curve so you have to give it a chance.
With Kirby Air Ride on the Gamecube I wasn't sure what to make of it at first but like I said on another Article the more I played the more it clicked with me. It seems the boys at Metro played it for 5 minutes and never played it again.
Glad to hear you liked it. My copy is on the way but in the meantime I'm just going to play Kirby Air Ride on my Gamecube. There is a learning curve because I remember being awful at it at first but the more I played the more it started to click with me.
@Megaz23 Same. Apparently after a quick Google it was a global outage. I've heard of Cloudfare but I had no idea just how many websites actually use it, until now. You don't realise how many websites use Cloudfare until Cloudfare stops.
Oh thank goodness. Everytime I tried to access the site I kept getting a Cloudfare error. It went on for several hours so I was starting to wonder what was going on.
I'm happy with the base game. To me €20 for about 30 minutes worth of content is nuts when you can buy a decent indie game for that Price. Until they put it on Sale I simply refuse to buy it but this being said I hope those that did buy it are enjoying it and got their moneys worth.
No I haven't had an issue using wired connections at all. I only tend to use it when playing Splatoon though, other games like Mario Kart work just fine on Wi-Fi. I use Wi-Fi 6 so that could be a factor though admittedly I don't notice any difference between this and Wi-Fi 5 I used to be on as I never had any issues with that either.
I've had this game on my Wishlist since I first heard about it in the Summer and after seeing that they've made these QOL adjustments I'm going to buy it now.
Kirby Air Ride on my Gamecube Robot Unicorn Attack 2 on my Tablet (yeah I'm actually still glued to this old Mobile game) Sonic Rumble Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Star Crossed World. Finally some more Pokèmon Legends ZA followed by TemTem Swarm and Borderlands 4.
Whenever I see Koroks I'm always reminded of the many hundreds of hours I wasted finding them for their seeds only to get a golden piece of TV BLEEPING NOISE that did absolutely nothing at all 🤣
I actually changed my opinion on ZA but the complaints are completely justified. If you just ignore glaring issues developers won't improve their games.
Some of the comments here are just bizarre especially from the top commenter.
I purchased the full game and the demo automatically downloaded with it so I may as well try it out. Admittedly I would prefer to wait until launch as I like to be surprised but I'm pretty impatient for the 20th to come now.
This is the only Animal Crossing game I didn't bother with. I remember seeing loads of unsold copies of it in Gamestop which was a clear indicator as to how bad it was.
After the disappointment of Silksong I started playing Hades 2 and what a difference. Hades 2 I'm just enjoying it, having fun despite it being difficult where with Silksong it was nonstop frustration for a variety of reasons which I've already mentioned.
I missed out on Bravely Default on the 3DS so naturally I bought it as a launch title for Switch 2 and I'm so glad I did. I missed out on a real gem however my only nitpick with it is that it can be rather grindy at times.
I'm loving these characters. I remember when I played Transformed and saw Nights and was really excited to unlock him but when I learnt he was just a vehicle I was so disappointed. Glad they rectified that here.
I miss this guy things just haven't been the same since he left. Also no I'm not surprised in the slightest, this is Microsoft we're talking about here they have a lot to say with little to no action. Remember Scalebound? yeah I remember.
@liljmoore I suppose so yes but I still refuse to support it. Either put the full game on the card or don't. In this case if it's a game I'm really looking forward to I'll just buy the digital version instead. Game Key Cards are just a waste of money and Resources.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Launch Streams Announced, Watch "Top Streamers" Play
I will not be watching anyone play until after I've played it myself. I don't like spoilers so I will be avoiding this.
Thanks but no thanks.

Re: Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble DLC Is Getting Delisted A Year After Release
Forgot this game even existed tbh. I just play Banana Mania on Steam as I prefer that.
Re: ICYMI: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Estimated Switch 2 And Switch File Size Revealed
I'll be playing it at launch immediately. I have it ordered from Smyths Toys so the sooner December 4th comes the better.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd November)

Streamers don't really interest me that much anymore tbh but thank you for the suggestion. Maybe it's my age idk (I'm 47)

Re: Sorry Xillia 2, 'Tales Of Berseria' Is The Next Remaster From Bandai Namco
Good game for sure but I feel this is one Tales game that doesn't need a Remaster at all.

Re: UK Charts: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Slips Out Of The Top Ten
Sad to see Black Ops 7 at the top but not surprised at the same time. People have a lot to say about it but they still buy it anyway.

Re: Nintendo Had No "Intention To Hinder Or Invalidate" Third-Party Docks For Switch 2
I use only the official dock that came with the Switch 2. I always find using third party products to be a bit of a gamble.

They give the Rat a new form when nobody asked for it yet they still won't do anything with Eevee. Are they deaf or something?
Re: Japanese Charts: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Slashes Through The Competition
Hyrule Warriors is really good, it plays very smoothly too so I'm pleased to see it doing well.

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Reveals "Peculiar" New Forms In Extended 10-Minute Trailer
Not interested in this game at all. Why sell a piece of plastic with nothing on it? may as well just be digital only.

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
@liljmoore You're essentially buying a piece of plastic with nothing on it rather than the full game.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
@Folkloner I wasn't planning on buying it anyway but apparently that's off topic.
