A Destiny 2 Gambit style mode would be awesome, or just a brand new mode all together would be ideal. Smaller hub area. Return to two hosts. (Not fussed on the idea of 4 way Splatfest, at least keep it at 3) Wouldn't mind vehicles but I don't mind if they keep the core gameplay mostly the same, so long as there's new guns, maps and specials My brother came up with a good idea that sounds fun, a light punishment for losing Splatfests- where the losers would have to wear a shirt or something with the winners pick (e.g. #TeamShiver) on it for a week.
I bought Game Pass for a £1 last month purely for the crunchy roll perk (75 days, pretty good deal!) But I forgot to cancel so now I've accidentally bought another month of GP. So if I'm paying for a month- then in gonna milk it dry! Started with Sea of Stars. Ten hours in it's pretty good but it's starting to get a little samey. They did open the world up a lot recently which helps. StarField. I'm not feeling it so far. I like some of its RPG perks (I'm a chief whose addicted to jumping, my brother's a wanted man with number one fan who stalks him, it actually feels like a RPG unlike 99% of most games that say they are) but the space travel is pretty underwhelming, especially in a post No Man's Sky/Outer Wilds world. But then I'm only about 3 hours in so maybe it'll start clicking with me soon. Hi Fi Rush I played for about an hour but I think I'll give up on that. I shall be jumping into the Splatfest. I could hardly abandon Shiver after all those Splatfest she's won me. Zelda is on break for GP, though I'm already missing it. Armoured Core VI I've surprisingly not played a lot of. I enjoyed what I played but I don't think I've touched it in about 6 days or more. Kinda wish it was on Switch, the small missions would lend itself to that I think.
For my personal goty I think totk is almost the guaranteed winner. Granted I haven't played a lot of new games this year, pretty much just that, resi4 and SV6. I will get around to Armoured core and Baldurs gate at some point and I think they both have a shot but not a big one of dethroning Zelda for me.
I still haven't gotten to the first one despite it looking awesome (the demo helped affirm this feeling) Can I just jump straight into two? Looks the type of game where you can but I thought I'd double check
Nowhere near the end of the game. At roughly 65 hours I'm in and I'm now starting my first main quest (The one with the zora). I think this game is brilliant so far. I hope it lasts me well into next year, even if that means continually putting Engage and Xeno 3 dlc on hold.
I think making Metroid the poster child of the switch 2 launch would be a mistake, it's not a big enough brand to pull of something like that. A new 3D Mario/Mario Kart would be the obvious choices, especially after the movie. I imagine the launch year would have something Zelda related but I think it won't be Wind Waker. Instead I think it'll be a Links awakening style remake of either a Link to the Past or A Link between worlds- though I'd be much more excited for a new 2D entry. Personally I'd love to see a Pokémon Legends 2 but I'm doubtful to say the least.
What a game. As many have stated its hard to believe its been a year. I still got the expansion to get too, Zelda delayed that bit time but that's no problem, if anything it'll likely help with the wait for Xeno 4!
I've picked up my first Atelier game recently (Ryza 1). I didn't really know anything about them but I thought I'd give it a go on a whim. I was under the impression the game would be overly simple which in some ways it is- but the alchemy side of things appears a lot more in depth that I predicted which is cool. The characters are slowly growing on me and it's actually nice to play a game where the premise is just very ordinary (or low stakes maybe?) We'll see how it goes but so far I find it quite relaxing- perfect for this week as works been a pain in the back (literally 😭). My playthrough of TOTK continues. Still haven't done a story mission 😅 but I'm enjoying it. Not rush to finish this one. The new Gameboy Zelda's looked intriguing. Might give those a go but after Tears is done.
@Nf157 Also all those signs you have to help keep up ... People have a good laugh whenever they see me do these because I miss the obvious and again- overcomplicate things. I just keep adding and adding until it's forced the stay up 😎
During one of the shrines early one where I was still learning how all these new mechanics worked- I simple needed to place a fan on a square stone and activate it to cross the lava... I overcomplicated it majorly 😅 I made a ship that went very- very slow and was front heavy.... At around the half way mark it began to sink and I had to climb to the top of it and pray it would remain afloat until I reached the other side. I could practically hear the Pirates of the Carribbean music playing! I was nearing the other side but the lava had almost reached my feet. I had one shot to jump- I should be able to make it! I didn't 😂
I was hoping for Jokers amiibo to be restocked but Luigi, Cloud and Rosalina works for me! Combine those with the Noah, Mio, Zelda and Ganondorf ones coming out soon and the rest of this year looks expensive for me amiibo wise.
Interesting list. And seems as others gave their top 10's I guess that gives me an excuse to give mine 👍 10. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D 9. Super Mario World 8. Fire Emblem Awakening 7. Super Smash Bros Ultimate 6. Mario Kart Double Dash 5. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 4. Splatoon 2 3. Ruby/Sapphire 2. BOTW 1. Fire Red/Lead Green
SPLATFEST time (#TeamVanilla!) I've also put a smidge of of time into Zelda as always and hopefully a bit more over the weekend. Maybe some more Mario Kart if the new maps actually show up online 😅 And with that I'm all set 👍 Might go buy one of those Atelier games on sale. They keep popping up and they've got my curiosity so if there's one cheap enough I might go for that too.
This sounds like a great entry point into the series so I think I'll be giving this a go at some point, better to commit to a ten hour game that doesn't satisfy me than one that's dozens of hours.
I think what makes a side quest good is determined by how well it adds to the game's artistic goal. For example if a game is all about exploration, then if the sidequests get me to explore then they're a success. Likewise if a game is very script based and a sidequest offers more story that the main quest couldn't then thumbs up. I'd even argue fetch quests have their place (often misused though), if you think about grind heavy loot based games or a combat focused game, they offer an easy, quick quest that'll give you more of what you want (exp, loot, an excuse to try out a new combo etc.) My favourite side quests (that I can think about on the top of my head) would include Mordins loyalty quest in ME2, Tarrey Town in BOTW, and pretty much most quests from Fallout 3/New Vegas
My answer is a boring one: Tears of the Kingdom 😅 But I have played other games too! Sort of. I hadn't played resi4 before (an embarrassing black spot in my gaming life) so playing through the remake was a treat. It was so good I'll probably have another run with it at a later date. Street Fighter VI is great though I haven't had time to play any of its single player content, just been playing it online whenever my brother is around. Very good, haven't played a 2D fighter in a few years so I was looking forward to it. I've also bought Engage and Prime remaster. The former I STILL haven't gotten around to but I have every intention off and unfortunately I couldn't get into the latter despite loving the 2-d entries. I do think I'll give it another shot one day though. Still got to get the Xeno 3 DLC, Raincode and FFXVI but I think Zelda is a lock in for my GOTY.
I'm not even really out of the central area in Tears of the Kingdom yet so I'll continue chipping through that. What a friggen game! My weekend session of Fitness Boxing/Ringfit is already done (until tomorrow anyways) I'll probably get a game or two of Mario Kart 8/Street Fighter VI if some friends or my brother's up for it. I've also got a new tablet, the Samsung ultra, huge screen on it. I'm not one for gaming on tablets and phones but I wanna see what this bad boy can do so I'm gonna download a few and give them a whirl too. There's also the Pikmin 4 demo but I don't know... I was excited for it after playing 3 deluxe but what I loved about that game sounds like it's been downplayed in this one a bit, kind of more interested in trying out the older two at the moment. And finally I'm considering getting Rain Code and Fight forever, both look cool but the reviews appear mixed so I'm not sure. Maybe I'll just wait for a sale or something.
@Olliemar28 A good point. Mgs4 was actually my first metal gear and I thought it was amazing, I had no idea what was going on, and when Big Boss showed up my first thought was 'who the hell is big boss?', but I was entertained 😅
It would have been cool if they had vol 1 be the Solid Snake arc (Metal gear 1+2, MGS 1, 2 and 4) and have Vol 2 be the Big Boss arc (Mgs 3, Portable, Peace Walker, Ground Zero and 5) And then a vol 3 containing everything else (revengeance, Acid 1+2 etc, maybe Twin Snake and perhaps for a good laugh Survive 🤣) I don't know if I'd call this a complaint per say but just something I was thinking.
I don't really know what is want. Between TOTK, SFVI, Engage, Future Connected, FFXVI and Armoured Core I kind of hope nothing gets announced for me anytime soon 😅 It would be nice for an update on Silksong but if that gets delayed to next year I won't loose any sleep. In fact I think I'd rather it. Metaphor for Switch would be rad though, maybe some Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay to see how it looks on Nintendo's console.
@mcmicken I know the feeling. I just made a comment stating I've played 25 hours of it which is nothing compared to everybody else here 😅 But I don't mind, I took around 8-10 months to finish Xeno 3 and I actually enjoyed playing it that way, enjoying going through Zelda that way too.
25 hours in and I've barely left the central area. Needless to say this will likely be my go to game for some time. Pikmin, FFXVI, Engage, Future Connected and probably even Armoured Core will have to wait until I'm done! The only exceptions shall be Splatfests and the occasional match on Street Fighter.
Finally!
Got myself Wolf Link, Sheik, Toon Link(Smash Bros) and Toon Zelda!
Considering the one with the yellow plastic running next to Links leg for the laughs.
Edit: I may have gone overboard 😅.... Ganon, Guardian and indeed the weird yellow plastic link have also been added to my collection 😀
Gee! I wonder what we're all playing this weekend 😜
Of course it's Zelda! Hell screw my fitness boxing too. I'm all in!
The only other entertainment I could see myself delving into this weekend is the Demon Slayer Manga collection I just bought on sale, but I'll probably save that for quiet nights after work.
Finished Resident Evil 4 on Ps5 a little over a week ago and I figured I'd try to play either Engage or Prime remastered before Zelda drops. I tried Prime but to my surprise I struggled to get into it despite loving the 2D games. I think I'll give it another go one day but I've dropped it for now. Too be honest that's fine with me, Zelda is the game I really wanna play so I guess I'll just give gaming a quick break, minus the upcoming splatfest of course.
Just as my backlog was somewhat becoming tolerable..... But I ain't complaining! This looks awesome 😎 I'm just really, really hoping Silksong doesn't get shadow dropped now.....
@Picola-Wicola the Blood and Wine DLC really is great I agree. One of my favourites. Actually prefer it too the main game- I would have loved to just purchase it standalone for switch but I don't think that's possible.
@BlackMayge I know the feeling. I'm not into comic books too much (but I too wish to read the Last Ronin run- sounds awesome) but the last six months or so I've gotten into manga for the first time. Nothing quite like getting into something brand new and being able to discuss it with others. I'm slowly working through the Berserk saga and I make sure to tell everybody my updates 😅, I've actually overtaken a few of the people I know as I've gotten into it so much 😎
Just beat Minish cap, not my favourite Zelda I've played but it was worth a go for certain. I've continued using Fitness Boxing (North Star) for exercise, it's such a nice change from Ringfit. Really brought back my motivation! I noticed a game called Fitness circuit is coming out and it has a demo so I've downloaded that to give a whirl. Resi4 remake is going along well. I'm not rushing it- really taking my time. I find my Ps5 goes dormant for weeks if not months once I finish a game, not many out that I personally want to play so when one comes along I make sure it lasts. Still got a backlog as I'm sure everybody does, mine has Metroid Prime and Engage as the main ones I want to check off, might start one in a bit now that Minish cap is done.
@IOI YOLO! Go for it! Enjoy the abundance of Zelda! Failed to get the collectors edition and pro controller before they ran out myself but at least I got the amiibo and a poster with the game! Can't Friggen wait!
The OLED looks awesome but I imagine the switch 2 (or whatever the next console is) is a year or two away so I reckon I'll just wait for that.
The pro controller on the other hand I'd really like, but much like the Collectors edition for the game it appears I just couldn't get it in time, it's out of stock everywhere. Not having much luck getting the TOTK stuff, at least I got a special edition of the game on Amazon with a cool looking poster and the Link Amiibo also so suppose I can't complain too much
@Rainz You show that backlog whose boss! Beat em down! I remember back in 2019 I decided I wouldn't buy any new games until I cleared a massive chunk of my backlog.... And I did! So satisfying! I really want/need to do it again but there are simple too many 'Really must play at launch' games like TOTK, Street Fighter 6 and Silksong that my little dream will have to wait until next year maybe.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct Showcase?

Re: Talking Point: Zelda: TOTK Isn't A Shoo-In For GOTY 2023, And That's A Good Thing

Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo IP Should 'Switch 2' Launch With?
I think making Metroid the poster child of the switch 2 launch would be a mistake, it's not a big enough brand to pull of something like that.

Re: Talking Point: What Makes A Good Sidequest, Anyway?
I think what makes a side quest good is determined by how well it adds to the game's artistic goal.
For example if a game is all about exploration, then if the sidequests get me to explore then they're a success. Likewise if a game is very script based and a sidequest offers more story that the main quest couldn't then thumbs up.
I'd even argue fetch quests have their place (often misused though), if you think about grind heavy loot based games or a combat focused game, they offer an easy, quick quest that'll give you more of what you want (exp, loot, an excuse to try out a new combo etc.)
My favourite side quests (that I can think about on the top of my head) would include Mordins loyalty quest in ME2, Tarrey Town in BOTW, and pretty much most quests from Fallout 3/New Vegas

@BlackMayge I know the feeling. I'm not into comic books too much (but I too wish to read the Last Ronin run- sounds awesome) but the last six months or so I've gotten into manga for the first time. Nothing quite like getting into something brand new and being able to discuss it with others.
I'm slowly working through the Berserk saga and I make sure to tell everybody my updates 😅, I've actually overtaken a few of the people I know as I've gotten into it so much 😎
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 15th)
Just beat Minish cap, not my favourite Zelda I've played but it was worth a go for certain.
I've continued using Fitness Boxing (North Star) for exercise, it's such a nice change from Ringfit. Really brought back my motivation! I noticed a game called Fitness circuit is coming out and it has a demo so I've downloaded that to give a whirl.
Resi4 remake is going along well. I'm not rushing it- really taking my time. I find my Ps5 goes dormant for weeks if not months once I finish a game, not many out that I personally want to play so when one comes along I make sure it lasts.
Still got a backlog as I'm sure everybody does, mine has Metroid Prime and Engage as the main ones I want to check off, might start one in a bit now that Minish cap is done.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED?
@IOI YOLO! Go for it! Enjoy the abundance of Zelda!
Failed to get the collectors edition and pro controller before they ran out myself but at least I got the amiibo and a poster with the game! Can't Friggen wait!
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED?
The OLED looks awesome but I imagine the switch 2 (or whatever the next console is) is a year or two away so I reckon I'll just wait for that.
The pro controller on the other hand I'd really like, but much like the Collectors edition for the game it appears I just couldn't get it in time, it's out of stock everywhere. Not having much luck getting the TOTK stuff, at least I got a special edition of the game on Amazon with a cool looking poster and the Link Amiibo also so suppose I can't complain too much
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 25th)
@Axecon Xeno 3 took me nearly a year to finish! Worth it though.
I wonder if TOTK will follow suit ....
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 25th)
@Rainz You show that backlog whose boss! Beat em down!
I remember back in 2019 I decided I wouldn't buy any new games until I cleared a massive chunk of my backlog.... And I did! So satisfying!
I really want/need to do it again but there are simple too many 'Really must play at launch' games like TOTK, Street Fighter 6 and Silksong that my little dream will have to wait until next year maybe.
