I kinda liked it the first playthrough, I absolutely loved it the second. This game has pretty amazing replay value. This game isn't just to be praised for story or gameplay. There's more to it than that. The music for example exceeded my expectations. The game also let's the player make significant choices. I call the story okay... rather it's the characters that make undertale so compelling. That's how I view Undertale.

You can easily get this for less than $5 if you buy a steam key on sale. So why buy it on switch? Even a computer from 1980 can run this game, probably
You would expect big game studios to have informed reasoning behind their marketing, but this developer clearly doesn't even bother reading game related news regularly...
@Damo Please understand that most of us do believe that Fortnite is coming to the switch (likely), but this article provided us with zero new information, the title claims otherwise. If I want speculation regarding Fortnite I will visit the forums!
I did a Zelda Breath of the Wild speed run once... It's still running since I couldn't defeat all 4 ganon blights and then Ganon xD I did get to Hyrule Castle in a reasonable 3 hours though...
Really? I didn't expect this, I would've waited for the switch version!
Well the switch version is probably going to be overpriced anyway. I played it on Android. I always have my phone with me and now I can play puzzles whenever I'm bored.
@NapalmPsalm That's true, I just don't get a Ghibli vibe from the trailer. I'm playing Ni No Kuni 2 at the moment and even though it looks exactly like a Ghibli movie it doesn't recreate the feeling. I guess maybe that has something to do with nostalgia.
@Joeynator3000 Not sure if that is adressed to me, there are only 3 or 4 movies I haven't seen.
Night in the Woods, Owlboy and Fe all look like games suited for me, next month looks really good, my birthday is february 12th, timing couldn't be much better!
I considered it was a reversed Ocarina of Time as well. After the timeline was torn apart it steadily collided again and Breath of the Wild is the new start of a single timeline.
I also consider the theory that Breath of the Wild is a fresh start entirely, and previous Zelda stories are legends long lost. They say it's left to the imagination and they don't seem too fond of the whole timeline concept in general so I don't think it's too far-fetched
I tried the Monster Hunter World beta and it plays excellent. But I don't agree that the PS4 is the right system for a HD Monster Hunter. In my opinion that would certainly be Switch. I want to play locally with friends and the Switch is easy to take with me even with the dock, I travel a lot and I don't always play behind the same monitor. A Switch Monster Hunter wouldn't look as stunning as World on PS4 but my experience would be better thanks to more play options, I think. Also I agree World is a bit mainstream compared to previous titles... why so serious? For example I miss the adventurous intro music and I hardly notice my palico during quests. (Generations was like constant meowing)
Capcom may claim the title of my favourite game developer if this and Monster Hunter World turn out to be great games. I don't think MHW will dissapoint it might even become my favourite game of 2018, I see Capcom going in the right direction. I pray they deliver.
@shaneoh Did you just say the Lord of the Rings movies are better than the books? The books have so much more to offer. The movies spend a lot of time on the battles, though the movies are quite long the books do a way better job of immersing you into middle earth. Characters, story, excitement not a single thing lacks in the books. Your statement is almost enough reason for me to choose team book
Tiara completely takes over Peach and rules the Mushroom Kingdom, her plan is to take over the world. Cappy kills Mario and sides with his sister. He helps her take over enemy bases by infiltrating them with captured guards until every building has a giant cap on it. It all began with Mario 100% completing Odyssey...
Well, I'm not double dipping. I love Ace Attorney but I don't need to play these kind of games more than once. I remember each case and its plot twists so there wouldn't be much of a surprise element.
Besides I think the original DS games look charming.
I love the idea of a 2D brawler with iconic cartoon characters from all networks, if it contained all my favourite characters it would potentially be my favourite game ever. Sadly it's an impossible crossover thanks to licenses and stuff.
@ShadJV Let me weirdly describe how I feel about payed add-ons:
In reality, DLC isn't like ordering dessert, nowadays you order a hamburger and they leave out the pickles and cheddar cheese, it still tastes good but they could've included it. You can't really argue that it's incomplete or that they left it out on purpose. But they are money driven for a fact, perhaps that's why the hamburger wasn't as wholly as it could be. Also instead of upgrading my hamburger I prefer them making me another (sequel) Free extra cheddar cheese that is something I can really appreciate.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE The Wii U gamepad was an excellent controller. But every controller needs getting used to. If you actually played a Switch game for a decent while you'll notice that eventually you get the hang of it even with huge hands, and I can say that after playing over 250+ hours. In regard of size it's arguably better than holding a 3DS. I have a pro controller but only use it for big games like Breath of the Wild and Splatoon, but even those games play just fine with joy-cons. Don't be so quick to judge and don't be so easily influenced by what you come across on the internet, join the future!
I don't think a game with so many unresolved issues like bugs and saving time should get a 9/10. I'll wait with my purchase. I don't need to play this game right away, I'm likely occupied with other games until next year.
Already bought 3 Pokémon main games for my 3DS, I would've loved to go back to Sun & Moon if this were DLC, like an Ultra upgrade
I simply don't have the motivation to train another team from the ground up. The story may be very different but ultimately it's still another version of Sun & Moon. (see what I did there?)
