On Xbox it’s Hi-Fi Rush which is fantastic so far! Tons of personality and looks like it came out of the OG Xbox era in the best possible way. Hopefully I’ll get it beat and done before my copy of the Dead Space Remake comes in.
PS5 is a combination of Infamous: Second Son and Ghostwire: Tokyo. Really do like the combat in Ghostwire and Infamous is just comfort food for me.
On Switch… I haven’t really been playing it all that much. It’ll certainly see some action once Theaterhythm comes out.
Ever since Gungrave Gore got the full auto update I’ve been playing way more that and replaying some older levels on hard to grind for some upgrades. I wouldn’t call it… great, but it’s pretty fun and looks cool enough!
As for Switch stuff I have the biggest hankering to try to get into Kingdoms of Amular. Keep falling off that one and I really want to give that game a proper chance.
It’s a great game and easily is among my top 10 for this year. I haven’t had a game that made me anxious to know what was going to happen next in a long while.
Might open the Pandora’s box known as Pokémon Violet but I’ll probably wait for an update or two or three…
But stuff I’ll definitely get around to is High on Life on the Series X, a pretty okay shooter with some chuckles here and there. I’ve also been diving into some Tinykin, which is probably one of the most chill platformers out there.
Still working my way through Evil West, which has way more meat on its bones than I thought. If I’m not slaying vampires and such then it’s onto Callisto Protocol.
Haven’t really played a whole lot of the Switch, but I’m sure when stuff like Dragon Quest Treasures and Jitsu Squad comes out that’ll change.
There always has to be some Smash related drama every year. It’s almost like they need to fulfill a quota or something. I don’t care at all for the tournament scene but to throw all of that effort out the window seriously sucks.
Their bubble is gonna burst someday if they don’t get a handle on quality control. It’ll be a matter of time before the mediocrity finally catches up to them.
The game, regardless if you’re having fun with it or not, needs to be torn to shreds. The Pokémon Company and everyone who let this pass certification should be ashamed of themselves. More than ever they need to know crap like this is unacceptable.
I’ll definitely snag this once I get through some other games but it’s certainly gonna be anywhere but the Switch. Cloud gaming has absolutely been a sore spot on the Switch’s lifespan.
This whole drama has opened up quite a bit of discussion of what VAs have to go through, so her call to boycott at least sparked conversation. It’s interesting to see VAs come out with their thoughts on the whole matter.
Already got it preloaded onto the Switch. It’ll have to wait after Sparks of Hope, but I’m glad this version received the proper attention it deserves.
I would love to see a non-borked port of Silent Hill 2. It doesn’t need a remake, just more readily accessible cause it really is one of the best horror games out there.
So… uh… Kamiya responded in a very “Kamiya” way. “Sad and deplorable about the attitude of untruth. That’s what all I can tell now. By the way, BEWARE OF MY RULES.”
I haven’t a clue how to link on a phone, but it’s there on Nibel’s Twitter if you want a gander.
I’m hankering to really give No Man’s Sky a go, but I might just end up doing some side quests in NieR Automata. Other than that Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion was released not long ago and it’s way freakier than I remember.
My top pick that never grows old for me is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon’s “Dialga’s Fight to the Finish”. One of my all time favorite boss themes and just favorite tune in general!
At this point the game could really use a sequel. The dearth of modes and whatnot really kills it for me. If the next go around has every character plus DLC with more meat on its bones then it’ll hopefully have a better chance.
For all of its faults, Resi 6 is probably the most “fun” Resident Evil game for me. It’s cheesy action shlock and is honestly WAY more playable than Resi 5.
Other contenders for me is the OG Nier, mediocre gameplay but has an AMAZING story, characters, and music. Deadly Premonition if only because of the mere existence of its main lead York.
Wrapped up Beacon Pines not long ago and what a lovely game that was. Really recommend it if you’re in the mood for a charming mystery game. Also got done with Xenoblade 3 and I might give Xeno 2 another shot. But for now it’s either Soulstice on the Xbox or I might start up a play through of Trails from Zero on the Switch.
I kinda fell off from his content after the KH3 vid and everyone just parroting his opinions left and right. On topic this announcement comes off a tad egotistical and doesn’t really aspire much confidence.
I’m 90 hours into Xenoblade 3 and doing some cleaning up with the last few Hero Quests before moving on to what looks like to be the final few hours. With Soulstice and Deathloop right around the corner I’m gonna focus squarely on Xenoblade before diving into them.
It was alright and not the absolute garage fire some folks tend to say. Having Theaterhythm come back was an absolute joy to see, along with Rain Code, Kirby, Fatal Frame, and I always wanted to give Rune Factory 3 a shot. And honestly? I don’t think the putting the spotlight on some farming games is that big of a deal.
Remember, you or I may not like farming but someone else does.

At this point everyone who wanted a Switch probably already has one.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 14th)
Some No More Heroes 3 on the Series X. Liking it a bit more the second go-around, and it was already my second favorite out of the series.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 7th)
Finally landed myself a PS5 so it’s gonna be some R&C Rift Apart.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 17th)
I’ve been dabbling into Halo Infinite’s campaign and it’s pretty good fun so far. Not much other than that.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 10th)
Some Jitsu Squad on the Series X and I might head back into Bayonetta 3 after the recent announcement of Bayonetta Origins peaking my curiosity.

Re: Feature: 30 Changes We'd Like To See In The Next Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Update
Just fix the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 26th)
Going to get some progress done on Evil West with some Risk of Rain 2 on the side. Been awfully tempted to hop back on Pokémon Legends too.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Surpass 10 Million Sales In First Three Days, Setting New Nintendo Record
So they have all the reason not to improve or change their work flow. Yaaaaaay…

Re: Random: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Body-Horror Glitches Are Going Viral
… boy howdy I am glad I waited for reviews for this one. This is embarrassing, and this is coming for someone who wants to root for Game Freak.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 19th)
Hopefully I’ll be wrapping up Sonic Frontiers this weekend before Evil West drops. And I need to get THAT game done before The Collisto Protocol!
Re: Cooking Mama IP Holder Sues Planet Entertainment For Sale Of Cooking Mama: Cookstar
Cooking Mama is about to become Courthouse Mama real quick.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 12th)
A mixture between Gunfire Reborn and Sonic Frontiers.

Re: Review: A Plague Tale: Requiem - Cloud Version - Plagued By More Than The Typical Cloud Caveats
I’ll definitely snag this once I get through some other games but it’s certainly gonna be anywhere but the Switch. Cloud gaming has absolutely been a sore spot on the Switch’s lifespan.
Re: A New Bayonetta 3 Report Features A Differing Account Of PlatinumGames VA Pay Offer
All of this is a complete and utter mess. At this point, I hope Hale pulls it off as Bayo and Taylor finds theater a more financially viable career.
Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
I’ll get the game and will be avoiding the internet like the plague when it comes out.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
C’mon baby let’s get 900 comments!
This whole drama has opened up quite a bit of discussion of what VAs have to go through, so her call to boycott at least sparked conversation. It’s interesting to see VAs come out with their thoughts on the whole matter.

I would love to see a non-borked port of Silent Hill 2. It doesn’t need a remake, just more readily accessible cause it really is one of the best horror games out there.
Re: Talking Point: Which Animation Studios Should Tackle Nintendo's Other Franchises?
I can’t really explain myself, but I can see Trigger pull off a really good Star Fox.

Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
Unfortunately if she did brake NDA then that’s gonna lead to a whole host of issues… Hopefully there’s more work lined for her in the future.

Re: Japanese Charts: Splatoon 3 Cleans Up As NieR:Automata On Switch Places Second
NieR rightfully deserves its sales. Playing through it right now and I’m falling back in love with it.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Music Track From A Nintendo Game?
My top pick that never grows old for me is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon’s “Dialga’s Fight to the Finish”. One of my all time favorite boss themes and just favorite tune in general!
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 15.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
S T A B L E.
At this point in the Switch’s life I don’t think we’re getting any themes and whatnot.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 8th)
Serious Sam Siberian Madness just came out on console and it’s really fun, so I’ll probably get some progress done on that.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl's New DLC Fighter Is Now Available

Re: Overwatch 2's New Phone Number Requirement Is Rejecting Pre-Paid Plans
Any game that asks for your PHONE GOD DANG NUMBER is an automatic pass.

Re: Japanese Charts: Splatoon 3 Closes In On 3 Million Copies Sold
Kinda cool seeing Xbox finally, albeit slowly, getting some foothold in Japan.
Re: Community: Found A Great Switch Game We Didn't Review? We Want To Know
There’s barely much of anything on Wallly and the Fantastic Predators. It’s a cute little rouge-like I think is one of the better choices out there.

Yeah, the Switch Pro/2/who-the-heck-knows needed to happen since yesterday. The poor thing just can’t keep up with games at this rate.
Re: NPD Results Show PlayStation 5 Outsold Switch In August (North America)
Boy I sure would love to be part of those PS5 sales if I could FIND ONE. Maybe next year…maybe.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 17th)

Re: Quake-Powered FPS Wrath: Aeon Of Ruin Launches On Nintendo Switch In 2023
Bout time! This game kinda dropped off the face of the earth for a while there.
Re: Persona 5 Royal Switch Special Edition Will Take Your Heart, Pre-Orders Open
I’m definitely snagging the Switch version after all of the bellyaching and whatnot.
Re: Nintendo Infographic Shows Every Title Featured In September's Direct
Zelda, Bayonetta, Theaterhythm, Rain Code, maybe Sifu if an Xbox port doesn’t pop up, Sparks of Hope, Ib, Rune Factory 3… geez that’s a lot!
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The Latest Nintendo Direct?
It was alright and not the absolute garage fire some folks tend to say. Having Theaterhythm come back was an absolute joy to see, along with Rain Code, Kirby, Fatal Frame, and I always wanted to give Rune Factory 3 a shot. And honestly? I don’t think the putting the spotlight on some farming games is that big of a deal.
Remember, you or I may not like farming but someone else does.
