@Strictlystyles I remember getting a US account for my vita, to get cheaper games than Australia. I guess that's not the case anymore. I just pre-ordered it for $75 which is around 50 USD.
@Grandiajet I've found peace in "I've paid for this game, it sucks, that money is lost, i dont need to play it" mentality. I totally relate to the sheer bloody-mindedness of forcing myself to play a game I bought. As I ease into middle age, bloody-mindedness is bad for my blood pressure.
I still want to get it, despite having it on xbox. I've never played Persona on a TV before, just three of them on the vita. Handheld just feels "right".
What are the actual odds of a joycon drifting? I've got an og switch l, and a lite. I've never had a problem, and I've played around 1000 hours on each one.
Whilst I am going to play it on my xbox, the Switch feels right. Maybe because all my previous Persona experience has been on PsP, and Vita. P3 and P4 golden are both beloved highlights of the previous decades gaming.
P4 golden was soooo good on the vita. I was looking forward to handheld Persona once again. Then I heard it was coming to gamepass, and I'm paid up almost 2 years. To top it off, my wife is away for a couple months, so I don't have to battle for the TV. I love my series S.
I've got it my phone. It runs at 120fps, and looks stunning. Not sure about the Switch version, which costs four times as much. I don't know much about Trackmania, but this a skill based racer. No upgrading your car, just you versus the clock, and the world. The last time I worked this hard for 1/10th of a second was Sega Rally, as my brother and i tried to best one another.
For me it was the first game that lived up to the promise of the box art. As a kid, games were always a let down compared to the box art. Goldeneye wasn't the first game I loved, it was first game that lived up to my expectations.

Re: Where To Pre-Order The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom On Switch
@Moose_4 That's on par with Australia's cheapest price. £60 is crazy. That's AUD 104. USD 70 is around the same.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden?
P3, and P5, both suffer, in my mind, because they aren't P4. I just love every aspect of the darn game, so much.

Re: Nintendo Isn't Happy About Switch Game Images On Steam
Nintendo are like George Lucas. Billions in the bank, a legacy firmly etched into modern culture, yet still a grumpy old pr*ck.

Re: Random: Rockstar Reportedly Turned Down A GTA Movie Starring Eminem
"..big enough to have its iconic trilogy ported to Switch" by a bunch of one armed chimps, yet still go on to sell really well.
Re: Random: Rockstar Reportedly Turned Down A GTA Movie Starring Eminem
@Ventilator Oh yeah, i forgot about that one. GTA3 on the other hand was a seminal game that I've never forgotten. Who needs a movie.

Re: Video: The Future Of Gaming Is Joy-Con Drift-Free
@SonOfDracula Maybe 1000hrs is a stretch on my OG switch, but on my lite it's probably more. The lite is the goat handheld.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Persona 5 Royal
I don't know if this can capture my heart the same way P4 Golden did. I look forward to finding out.

Re: Remedy To Host Fan Event In Celebration Of Control's Third Anniversary
It's the only game I've ever played where I read every single collectible. I'm enjoying the story, and the gameplay is bloody great at 60fps.

Re: Rumour: New Metal Gear Solid Remasters Reportedly Incoming
@Krysus I keep it around, because I regret every console that I've sold.
Re: Rumour: New Metal Gear Solid Remasters Reportedly Incoming
@hel105 Don't forget Peacewalker. I was always dark that the Vita didn't get the HD version.
Re: Review: Cursed To Golf - A Spooky Roguelike That's More Than Up To Par
@HolyGeez03 I came here to say the same thing. Though I did enjoy the soundtrack to that one.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Wave Race 64 For The Switch Online Expansion Pack
@KevinLo9 It was pretty awesome. The way the water pushed back against your jetski was unlike any game I had played.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Wave Race 64 For The Switch Online Expansion Pack
Damn I loved this game. I loved the N64 like no other console, before or after. Gaming, before the weight of the world crushed the spirit from me.

Re: Portal 2 Beta Levels Discovered In Datamine Of The Switch Version
@nukatha No need. I already own it. One my kids (not sure which one) broke my sweet ass laptop. Rather than replace it, I got a switch and an xbox.
Re: Portal 2 Beta Levels Discovered In Datamine Of The Switch Version
It's out? I should read articles properly. And it's $27.99AUD! That's well priced.
Re: Portal 2 Beta Levels Discovered In Datamine Of The Switch Version
I never played this game. I don't have a PC or a PS3. I'm really looking forward to this on the Switch.
Re: Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Features Over 90 Titles, Including Jaguar And Lynx Games
I never had an Atari. I will be interested to see what games stand up, without any rose tinted glasses.
Re: Movie Review: GoldenEra - A Celebratory Examination Of GoldenEye 007's Creation And Impact
For me it was the first game that lived up to the promise of the box art. As a kid, games were always a let down compared to the box art. Goldeneye wasn't the first game I loved, it was first game that lived up to my expectations.

@Quarth The good news is that they haven't acted upon any of these surveys, so your vote would've been meaningless anyway.
Re: EA's Live Service Battle Royale Game Has Now Generated $2 Billion In Earnings

Re: Best Star Fox Games Of All Time
I picked up Zero for $5. I haven't played it yet, because I already had a switch at that point. I will get around to it one day.
