The games very much are pick up and play. A wee bit of entertainment when you have 5 mins spare. I've enjoyed the give away but the real prize will always be the comments sections on here.
Qubic's Games are very much pick up and play. I've often picked them up cheap and played for an hour. I've never felt cheated. Even with this deal I just bought Rekt last week and again dont feel I've missed out not waiting. Still a couple on there to pick up for free so looking forward to that.
Woman I work with has been getting amazon parcels for over a year now. Her address different name. It's a small village so she had asked around. No joy. Contacted Amazon they had no record of the delivery. They told her to keep the items a shower curtain and something else. Nothing that breaks the bank. Shes now up to 8-9 parcels everytime Amazon say just keep them. There was a set of kitchen scales run to 80 quid. Surely somebody is asking where their stuff is?
Just about finished Links Awakening. Barely scratched the surface of Astral Chain or Yokka Laylee and the impossible lair. However Outer Worlds has arrived. Wish the switch version was out now so I could squeeze another hour out of it in bed. But alas it's not to be.
Why did Breakpoint not sell well? Cause it was the same just with a different name Ubisoft. You can have your open world games but hey hows about an offline campaign? Its radical and a lit of folk wont know what I'm talking about. But hey give it a go.
I played this yonks ago when there was a free weekend on xbox. I smashed about 30 hours from the friday night till monday morning. Bought a couple the dlc packs as a way to support the developer as I wasnt going to buy the game and figured they deserved some money.
Year later bought the game. Never managed to get the dlc to sync to my game. Spent a bit of time trouble shooting and sent some emails. No work arounds worked so just gave up.
I hit about 15% completion which was about 20-25 hours. Doing career, daily challenges and multiplayer had a good time. But ultimately time to move on.
Played for about 6 hours (8% completion) now hitting a wall where I have to start grinding for coins to upgrade stuff. The coin reward has dropped off as the upgrade cost has went up. Theres plenty to do with challenge modes and online racing. The refuel issue isn't really one doing career as your reputation goes up it refuels all your Cars. Again depending on how you are playing the game gives out tokens. I'm up to about 400(these are the tokens you can buy with real money or by completing daily challenges) tokens, these too can be used to refuel your car. The cars also automatically refuel at the end of the day or rather when you load the game up next day.
Had fun with it, but I'm not likely to play much more.
Why are they releasing this? Why isn't there an adaptor for that plastic piece of crap I paid silly money for so I can use that pad?
Nintendo isn't your friend. They like making money. It's not that complicated.
I'll be interested to see if the SNES pad is better than the joy cons and pro controller as I wasnt convinced with either when I had a few games of Mario kart and super tennis. Seemed off with Metroid as well. Just not as responsive as I'd have liked.
@maruse I played it on xbox on release and really liked it. It's a mid-tier budget game it's not AAA polished but I was happy paying full price and I might end up picking it up on switch as well to play through again. Plenty of story and the abilities were cool in my opinion.
Just finished My Friend Pedro. But turns out quite a few things on my wishlist are on the game pass on Xbox so looks like that's where I'll be playing Graveyard Keeper this weekend.
@Majora101 the camera was awful in Donkey Kong 64. Which was released when? You making that arguement puts you on par with the folk who have written playtonic off after one game. Yooka Laylee had its flaws. However it was a small team. Of course the game wasnt going to fill that Banjo shaped hole in most folks lives. It's a big hole to fill.
I'll be looking at picking this up as it's looking pretty good.
At least at 4.99 they aren't ripping the arse out the price point. Could be a laugh with a group of folk especially if you have the friend who identifies as an elite gamer, watching them crack could well be worth the money.
@KayFiOS I wasnt bothered either way when it was announced. The problem. Or rather the main problem is the original was a scripted comedy and the reboot was an ad lib free for all. Some of it works most doesn't. I do also have to say I really don't enjoy Melissa McCarthy.
Ghostbusters was really good. Best bit was it being a ps3 console exclusive outside the US so Microsoft made their US copies region free.
I'd bought Steamworld Heist before I even thought to check to see if I had money on my account. Also grabbed Bastion. Never got round to it so I've got it now and it'll be getting played...some time.
@huyi you are allowed to play games more than once.
I was late onto Saints Row 3 think I got it as a game for gold on Xbox. Didn't like the 1st one never played the 2nd and don't like GTA. But my mate convinced me to give it a go as it was free and coop. Did not disappoint. Unfortunately I can't persuade him to buy a switch to play through it again.

Re: Sniper Elite Spin-Off Zombie Army Trilogy Fires Onto Switch Next Year
Loved V2 and 3. Really didn't like Zombie Army Trilogy. It kinda felt like the opposite of what the Sniper Elite games were about.

Re: Metacritic Reveals The 50 Best-Reviewed Games Of The Decade, Nintendo Takes Top Two Places
Portal 2 is probably my favourite game overall on the list. Loved it. The co-op was immensely satisfying.
Not a fan of GTA or RDR.
Couple of that's over rated comments. Reviews much like your comment are down to personal choice.
Plenty on the list I havent played but will get to. Others i wont, looking at you Smash Bros.
Re: Former Mario Kart Devs Launch The Spell-Slinging Tag-Team Racer Gensou SkyDrift This December

Re: The Outer Worlds Is Launching On Switch "Some Time" Before The End Of March 2020

It's also the thing I like about having multiple consoles

Re: The Original Rocket League DLC Packs Are Being Added To The Base Version For Free
@KitsuneNight "Cause really, that's all I wanted to know. what would Psyonix do."
The more pressing question is what would Brian Boitano do?

So be nice to use the dlc cars now....
If I buy it on switch that is.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 5th)
Started Sundred the other day after getting it on sale. Then my wife picked up Ghostbusters as a surprise. So it's a toss up between those.

@Peshokinha yeah you missed the point, should've had in brackets (mocking voice) at the start of that post. Hope that clears my post up for you.

Re: Review: Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered - Blowing Things Up Never Gets Old
@Giygas_95 loved the unicorn gun on Armageddon. But Guerrilla is one of my favourite games of all time. Even loved the mp which usually isn't for me.

Of course I can.

Re: Feature: The Best Shmups On Nintendo Switch
@Bunkerneath the construction kit was superb.
Re: Feature: The Best Shmups On Nintendo Switch
Had Steredenn on Xbox so bought it on release on switch. But just doesn't seem as tight control wise. Do love Skyforce though.

Cracking game.
