@Zuljaras Yep. Easy decision. Not just the best Switch game, but the best game of 2023. According to my roundup, all I did was play TotK in May and June.
574 hours on Grindstone. Almost exactly the same in 2022 (my total is 1300). I love the daily leaderboards and I can play it whilst watching TV. 318 hours on TotK. I literally played nothing else in May and June. Binding of isaac. I played it on vita, then PS4, then starting again, still clocked 74 hours on the Switch.
@mereel The MK9 port on the Vita is how it should be done. It doesn't look great, but it runs at a rock solid 60fps, and has tons of bespoke vita features.
I did love my PSP Go. 16gb in 2009 was pretty good. The idea of all my games in my pocket was enticing, so I bought one. Didn't regret it for a second.
Somewhere between Turok 2 and Turok 3 alcohol became a serious problem for me and I didn't really game again until 2009, when I got (and stayed) sober. I love playing games from my "lost years". Looking forward to this one.
@The_Pixel_King My story with TotK is pretty much the same. I'm playing GoW on my PS5 now. With Elden Ring still to play, and Baldurs gate around the corner it feels like a golden age for gaming at the moment.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Metroid
@gaga64 it reminds me of the old pulp scifi novels I read as a kid.
Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?
@Bret I sold my N64 and the games. I regretted it. I stopped selling my old consoles after that.

Those Rayman games were amongst the best platformers I ever played. So tight and precise. If that's on your resume, you get a second interview.

Re: Zelda's Voice Actor Would "Love" To Reprise Her Role In The Live-Action Movie
@Yoshif3 I am imaging you saying your comment in her voice. That's how anguished we all are by the though of her voicing a whole movie.
Re: Zelda's Voice Actor Would "Love" To Reprise Her Role In The Live-Action Movie
Please don't I beg of you. Imagine I'm saying it in her voice. That's how sad it makes me.
Re: Best Metal Gear Games On Nintendo Systems
@Vexx234 I'm not getting the latest MGS game collection, but if Portable Ops and Peacewalker got decently treated (60fps), I would buy day one.
Re: Apex Legends Adds Cross-Progression In New Seasonal Update
This game was closest I got to playing one of these games, just because I had so much playing Titanfll. Alas, still not for me.

I thought I would like the first one. I should have. I think I'm bored of racing games. I even got bored of Forza.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?

Re: Extremely Limited Edition Cult Of The Lamb Switch Controllers Revealed, Pre-Orders Now Live
Not a chance at that price. The game was disappointing anyway. The combat wasn't up to par. I did enjoy the culty stuff, though.

Maybe they are now "agile" enough to go and go and bleep themselves in the bleep.

Re: Review: Vampire Survivors - Kiss Healthy Sleep Goodbye With This Must-Play Roguelike
I haven't closed Zelda since it came out. All signs point to this being the first "other game" to boot up since TotK dropped.
