I managed to platinum Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition and i just now wrapped up and platinum’d Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. Both fantastic games.
Next up I’m going retro playing Metroid : Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion on the WiiU - never played those in the 2D series, in anticipation for Metroid Dread.
I already beat the game, my first Paper Mario, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Loved the art direction, and thought it was a very charming game.
Yeah I’m much in the same camp. I’m 32, married, no kids yet. Can be a busy life at times, but free time ever increasingly shrinks as life goes on.
I would say it depends on why I’m playing a game. Most Normal Modes I’m fine with, for instance I played Ghost of Tsushima on normal.
On longer campaigns, When given an option, whether that’s a JRPG or I wanna marathon through a series, I’ll put it on easy. Like right I’m playing through the Halo series,
Last year I played through the Gears of war series on easy until I got to Gears 5 then I reverted to normal,
I had already played through the previous games, I just wanted to replay the stories.
I enjoy the stories in games, and it does provide a sense of progression.
I very much relate to the bit in the article ‘if I’m still at the same point in the game the next night then that was a wasted night’ I feel the same way.
I very nearly stopped trophy hunting, I platinum’d Ghost of Tsushima because it was easy, but if it required me to play on hard, then play it again on ultra hard. I wouldn’t even bother. Still love the game, but it’s to the point that I disable trophy/achievements notifications.
I stopped play multiplayer games, I just don’t get the sense of progression like I do with a campaign, I don’t play fighters, requires too much time to master 1 character.
I’m not saying these games should not exist, nor am I saying that they’re bad.
I just don’t have time like I used to.
Typically on an RPG I’ll do as much as I can as I want, but once those credits roll, I’m likely done for good. Very very rarely will - after a couple of years- will I replay it.
I'll be frank, i'm not super excited for any of these except the Prinny collection which i don't think is an RPG (its just related to an RPG series). MAYBE pick up Bravely Default 2. but i got so many other more interesting choices coming down. Not to mention backlog of games that haven't been played yet.
but in so far as RPG's go, i'm more interested in Cyberpunk 2077 and WatchDogs Legion (if you count it as an RPG) then i am in any of these games.
I would be so in for all of this if it were true. I’m still hoping Metroid Prime trilogy is real too.
Driving me crazy how so many publishers have put up their back catalog on Switch in one form or another but Nintendo continues to be absolute misers about bringing their much beloved back catalog over.
Well, I already own all these. But very nice for others to give them a try. I still gotta get around to adding ZX collection. And I hope Capcom Considers a Battle Network collection.
I’ll definitely get SOTN or a Castlevania collection 2 if it comes to Switch. In the meantime i dropped $3 bucks to play this on my iPad Pro paired with my Xbox One controller.
This is to be frank, disappointing, if this is gonna be a subscription service, just give us the damn library already. You’d have to be subscribed to keep access anyways.
Most of these reveals get panned by viewers already, so the drip strategy to build hype is not working as intended.
And it’s not like these reveals become the conversation of the gaming community online at large outside of the specific Nintendo fan niche.
We all know that for these games is not that difficult at all for Nintendo to do. It’s just the same emulator.
Imagine if Disney did this with Disney+ and every 2 months just randomly drip fed whatever from their vast library. Could be a classic, or could be some obscure thing from the 70’s that maybe your mom vaguely remembers as a kid...

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 19th)
Just playing Horizon Forbidden West on PS5.
But i did just recently start up Pokémon Legends Arceus as on Switch.
Given the recent news on WiiU and 3DS, i really really wanna go back and play some of my 3DS backlog. LOVE that portable system.
Re: Poll: N64 And Sega Genesis Nintendo Switch Online Games Launch Today - Which Will You Play First?

Castlevania : Bloodlines on the Sega Genesis offering
Re: Poll: The Hype For Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Is High, Is It In Your Switch Plans?
I’m gonna wait and see. Visually it looks like a nice upgrade, but i am concerned about the level of censorship that’s been done to them.
Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?
6 hrs and under becomes a pretty short game, and I will not get a $60 or higher price game under that game length time.
$40 or less is fine. Ofcourse depending on the quality of the game.
I don’t expect/desire every game to be some +30 hr epic for $60 or more.
It does NOT mean that the <6 hr game is trash, not at all. Just a value proposition, it’s not worth $60
Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Whoever they pick, people will be pissed.

Re: Ubisoft Reveals Its Post-Launch DLC For Immortals Fenyx Rising
I just really hate the new title of this game. I have to say.
I’m going to wait till after it’s released to see what people think. Other Ubisoft games are occupying my time and attention right now.
Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?
Switch and PS5 mainly.
I also have a PC to cover Series X exclusives. but really in terms of gaming it's PS5 and Switch that's 90% of my gaming time.

Re: Feature: Potential Switch Port Round-Up - The Wii U Games That Haven't Come To Switch
I think at this point Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess is what's left that i think has a good chance of porting over.
Personally though i'd love to see Yarn Yoshi and Star Fox Zero to come over, but i am not holding my breath on that.

Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For February And March 2020
Mega Man ZX collection for me in February. otherwise, its the back catalog for me.
