I actually enjoyed the movie Waterworld 😅 Certainly a lot more than the Twilight movie...

I’ll be continuing Borderlands- I’m only a few missions in so I hope I grow to like it more since it’s been meh for me.
I will also try out Clubhouse 51! I haven’t put in as much game time on Switch lately so I plan on trying a few games.
Happy gaming all!

@ObsidianEleven Thanks! I’m genuinely baffled why they would do one game like that but not the other.

I was interested in picking this up but opening up Borderlands and seeing 2 download codes for essentially the Handsome Collection turned me off. Does the Bioshock collection include download codes or does it download from the cart? I like the option of trading in a game when I’m done with it.

Good month of downloads! I haven’t downloaded any yet but I’m interested in a few.

I love this game on Xbox! I guess I understand how you would rate frame rate issues more heavily in a “simpler” game vs something more demanding. Hopefully they get a patch to fix that when they roll out dlc.
While there aren’t many levels per say they do change for each play through and I still get a minimum 25-30 min per level ( usually closer to 40) when I explore the entire map. I do play this as part of Gamepass but I plan to buy the dlc because I enjoy this game enough to want to play it. I also plan on playing through different difficulty tiers also since this game is addictive! I can’t say I completely agree with 6/10 (Unless you are seriously unable to play the game because of performance issues) but I guess to each their own.

@Paraka I’m not sure about that. Space isn’t an issue since I have a large memory card and I’d rather play a game at it’s improved state so I just download before getting started.

@Brodieman I’ve gotten a bit addicted to Minecraft Dungeons 😅 Fun game!

I finished playing Beat Cop this week which was surprisingly fun- I would recommend it to anyone who might find it interesting. I think it’s more of a time management game but it has a lot of humor and I thought the choices made were impactful.

I ended up picking up a digital copy of Clubhouse 51 but I haven’t gotten to play it yet. I’ll be trying that out this weekend.

My copy of Outer Worlds hasn’t arrived yet but that’s probably for the best so I can put some time into Borderlands 🙂

Also been having more fun than I expected playing Minecraft Dungeons on Gamepass!

I’ve never played Borderlands before- I found it was coming to Switch before I bought them for Xbox. I’m disappointed in the download codes for 2 of the games but the game plays and looks very good. I started with the first but I’m not far enough in the game to make any decisions about the humor.

@PlayedNSlayed I suppose it could be true that what I assumed was an update could be part of the first game. Anyone would be able to download that first game if you sold/ traded it in since it’s built into the cartridge.
I’ve had similar experience of that playing a used copy of Spyro- since the games were built into the cartridge/ not a download code I could download and play them all even when someone else had done so before.
I’ve never seen a download code that could be used more than once so I’d assume that using the download code for the other two games would make a resale of those impossible.
It is really disappointing how they’ve released the games this way. Pretty much makes a physical copy pointless imo.

@Paraka Not quite true- the first game is on cartridge with the other 2 being download tickets. I did see a sizable update day one though.

Seeing how Borderlands was packaged put me off from buying Bioshock at this point. I buy physical games so I can sell them when I’m done/ don’t like it. Making the other games redeemed by code makes it near impossible to sell these once done.

I have this preordered already so I’m excited to dive into this one!

I like the art style of this game. Maybe I’ll check it out.

This game looks interesting. I’ll be adding this to the wishlist but so just have too much on my plate to buy it now.

I picked up Borderlands and want to start that up but I should finish up Beat Cop first 😅.

I was a little peeved to find that the Borderlands collection includes only the first game on cart and includes download codes for the next 2 games. Maybe I missed this point before? Sucks for people who like to sell their games after. I thought it would be like Spyro where the other games are downloaded automatically ( no code needed). I had planned on buying Bioshock physical but I’m assuming this is the same case so I’ll be holding off for now.
Happy gaming everyone!

I’ll be playing Splatfest! Like many others I hadn’t played for awhile and became embarrassingly rusty- Shaking it off though lol!
Started playing Beat Cop so if I get the chance I’ll continue playing that as well.
I’ve also got Ori and the Will of the Wisps going on Xbox... reminds me a lot of the first one.

@status-204 Thanks! I might give this a try then.

To anyone who’s played this- is this along the lines of No Man’s Sky? Ultimately I found that game to be too large for my liking. If this was a condensed, more story driven experience I’d be on board.

@Ventilator Awesome! I was hoping it would since other Team 17 games are on Gamepass!

@TheFox I agree with you in that there’s little incentive to preorder Nintendo games. The games hang out at full price for a long while (generally). I haven’t had issues trying to find a physical game when I wanted it either. Nintendo used to offer bonus gold points on digital preorders but I haven’t seen that in the US eshop for a while now. Now I just wait to buy games until a review drops.

I hope Nintendo offers a demo before release. That’s what sold me on Yoshi when I hadn’t enjoyed past Yoshi games. I tried Paper Mario on Wii but didn’t really care for it honestly. This new one sure looks neat but I would like to try it.

I’ve been playing the Super Mega Baseball 3 demo just to make sure I want to purchase it 🙂 It’s the only thing I’ve been playing on Switch the past few days and I think I’m going to bite. I should continue through my backlog though so maybe I’ll start something else... Hmm Beat Cop or Hotline Miami Collection?

It’s like they want my money! I’m preordering this for sure

Despite the grumbles about this isn’t this a big deal? I don’t remember a lot of golf games (except Mario’s) being on Nintendo in general so for this big title to finally be making it’s way is good news.

@RudyC3 There’s a game called Golf with Your Friends coming to Switch I believe next week that may fit more of what you’re looking for. I’ve been looking forward to it. Also the incredibly unrealistic What the Golf? Coming next week too.

I gave up on Hob for the moment so now I have to pick a new game to play. The other night I started up Piczle Lines DX again 😅 since I’m still working through the last puzzle pack. It’s just easy to keep coming back to it since it’s not demanding.

Also keep up Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox... simply fantastic.

Happy gaming everyone!

@Wazeddie22 That’s how I thought of the beta too. I really wanted to enjoy this but I didn’t. For me getting into a match was a chore and then once in a match the controls were clunky and not as responsive as I expect for an online multiplayer. Hopefully they get this all ironed out so I may try it later.

I’ve started Hob on Switch but I’m finding I don’t care for it as much as I thought. Shame because I thought I had a good handle on it with the demo but I find that I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing most of the time. I’m going to try to give it another play session before I give up on it.

Playing Moving Out on Gamepass.. I thought it would be the next game my wife and I play ( we just got all Overcooked 2 achievements) but she doesn’t care for it as much. I think it’s hilarious but it can definitely be challenging. I was worried because the demo was easy but it’s proving to be harder than that- especially considering the optional objectives .

Will also continue my adventure in Rise of the Tomb Raider- Game is so fantastic! I think I’m getting close to the end of it but I’m going to buy the season pass and keep that glorious wheel spinning.

Happy gaming everyone and stay safe!

I suppose even if there’s no direct in June maybe there’ll be something a little later on? Honestly just any info on something coming soon even if it’s delayed is better than nothing. I’ve got Borderlands preordered, The Outer Worlds, and 51 Games but after that it’s void. I’ll be continuing my backlog and those games I end up buying but if Xbox and PlayStation can be open about their plans I see no reason Nintendo won’t ( except I guess the over 2 year wait for Metroid 4 we’ve already had- maybe trying to avoid more of that..)

@RPGamer You must splurge for the add free Hulu- it’s the only place I see Nintendo adds!

I’ve preordered this already! I liked the demo but I worry about the difficulty- hopefully it ramps up a bit since the demo levels were a bit tame. I hope this has online multiplayer also or that they can add it down the line because that was a major improvement in the second Overcooked. Overall I’m looking forward to it’s arrival this week!

I know I said I was going to start Hob last week but I ended up doing other things instead ( Rise of the Tomb Raider 😁). I intend to start Hob up though. Happy gaming all and stay safe!

Sounds like fun! I’ll pick this up on Xbox eventually

@Savino Right?! A 1 hour test seems ridiculous- is that normal? I guess there’s 3 sessions at least...

@Akropolon you’ve got awhile before you start it then! 😅 There’s not many games that I buy DLC for but I did end up buying the 2 level packs since I enjoyed it so much.

@Akropolon 2 weeks should let me beat the game if I can quit playing Rise of the Tomb Raider lol. I think I’m actually very close to finishing the game since the base camp was discovered. I just like finding all the collectibles and I find that I’m missing a lot of them.

Still working on my backlog and I’ve held off buying more games ( so far!). I was thinking about Call of Juarez since it’s on sale but I’m really trying to hold off buying new games.

I just finished South Park Stick Of Truth- overall fantastic game. There were a couple sections that made me squirm but it was a blast and the combat is surprisingly good. I hope they make a new South Park game as I’ve really enjoyed SoT and FbW.

I was thinking about starting up Hob or Hotline Miami Collection next!

@Akropolon I have yet to finish Wolfenstein The New Order on Xbox.. I’m probably going to have to buy it since it’s leaving gamepass soon and it’s a great game. I played Youngblood and New Colossus on Switch- but I’m curious how they stack up on Xbox. I find it takes me less time to complete games on my Switch.

@MarioBrickLayer Awesome game! I never played the original but the new Remake was a lot of fun! Enjoy!

I tried this on gamepass and played for about an hour before I was too frustrated to continue. The controls are just weird and you have to be so precise on top of it- just makes it frustrating. Also some of the physics elements were too touchy which was also frustrating- think a round item on a forklift while trying to go on an incline. It was easier to drag the item at a snail’s pace than struggle with the forklift they provided.The idea was good and the game looked okay for what it is but ultimately it needs some tweaking to make the controls more playable. I would be upset if I paid money for this in its current state.

I would agree with the review con- dlcs didn’t push the envelope enough or special things not being utilized enough. That being said there are some truly great things happening in the dlc. The horde levels are great. The new mechanisms for cooking/chopping/washing are fun and add to the experience. Overall this game is a must purchase for me. It’s great to play multiplayer ( with similar skilled/ competitive player's ). It’s still fun to play solo though once you get the hang of it. Ultimately the question is whether or not the dlc is great enough to justify the added cost- since the base game is $25 on eshop. I personally think it is. While each dlc world adds roughly 12 levels they are great and you will play them over and over.

@Arckadius my wife and I have also gotten 3 stars on the levels ( there’s some secret levels I don’t know how to open though) - then we got hit with the try for the 4th star... We just looked at each other and laughed.

@jarvismp I agree with the other person who commented to you. It takes some practice and you’ll want to have your inactive person chopping or washing while your active person is doing something. I mostly played multiplayer with my wife but there were several levels we couldn’t get through together so I ended up doing them myself. It’s worth noting that when you are playing multiplayer the Point threshold for stars is also higher.

I’ll be continuing my backlog adventure with South Park Stick of Truth. I’m thinking Hob after that but who knows..
I was hoping Stretchers would be on sale in US eshop but it’s not😓 I’ve had my eye on that one for awhile.
Also played the Super Mega Baseball 2 demo and am actually excited for the new one releasing ( hopefully still this month!). I’m thinking of picking that one up on release- I love when games support cross play!
Playing Rise if the Tomb Raider and as always Overcooked 2 on Xbox . Those last few achievements on Overcooked are elusive!

@Anti-Matter @RPGamer

I would love a new PokePark game for Switch! So much fun!

@Nic-Noc20th-C I’ve just started Stick of Truth- awesome so far. I’d start with that one personally so you can appreciate the improvements of the second game but I don’t think it’s necessary!

I’ve always periodically cleaned controllers with alcohol wipes. I get my phone more often.

I don’t know what these are... Anyways I’ll be passing this week

That’s a good deal considering all the dlc prices-$25 base game, $20 season pass, $6 beach levels, and $4 Extra chef pack. The problem is that this should have been available initially as a deluxe edition. Maybe if they included the original? Great game that I myself have spent well over 65 hours playing so I think the value is good.
