I know they’re just opinions but it seems a bit odd seeing some score it no better than 8 while others are rewarding it with perfect 10s acclaiming it as a masterpiece..sounds like this one will be debated for some time.

Astral Chain 2 would be sweet! I do believe it’s now a Nintendo owned IP so I imagine it would be a Nintendo announcement if it ever comes to fruition. I think it’s cool they hired the Nintendo Marketing sales executive…clearly both companies have a similar culture and philosophy to making games. Always wanted Nintendo to just buy Platinum but really there’s no need they work well as partners as is. Anyway, this is making me wanna go play Astral Chain now 😂

@BlackMayge

Your feelings deceive you! Sunbreak is definitely still getting played…there’s just so many great gaming options in general , plus a lot of Xenoblade, Live A Live and Splatoon hype at the moment. I’m still grinding my way through Sunbreak…it’s a great expansion so far and I’m only on MR4!

Just tried out the trial, never play The Show series before, I actually quite enjoyed my time with the trial on Switch. Not too many options for baseball games but if your looking for a true sim this is likely your best option

@BlackMayge

Monster Hunter series is definitely a unique gaming experience. You’re absolutely right, the game has many systems and gameplay mechanics to learn. Once it all clicks, it really opens up the game. The one recommendation I’d say is to not discount the multiplayer aspect. You can argue the game is at its peak when being enjoyed in multiplayer. Once your comfortable enough with the game definitely give it a try. It has a great community of gamers, you can really learn some things from other hunters. Good hunting to ya! Oh ya btw…Bayonetta is one of the finest action series you’ll ever play.

Initially I was a bit skeptical with it being a pricey for some DLC, just started digging into the game and it really does improve on the base game in just about every way. The difficulty really has been upped, old monsters have new bags of tricks…they really are trying to kill you this time around. Looking forward to getting deeper into this expansion, Capcom has done a great job supporting the franchise.

You are not Alone! Shout out to @AmplifyMJ!

@sketchturner

Hot damn! 6th play through?? Thats something! I can’t say I’ve ever replayed a game 6 times over, must be a true banger. I’ve always wanted to get into the game but it just hasn’t worked out just yet!

This game. Been in my backlog for sometime. I started it, ultimate got lost and haven’t gone back. This might be a good reason to start this game fresh. The atmosphere , music and gameplay are great I just never really dove into…err..burrowed into the game. Might as well before Silksong releases…it is still releasing isn’t it??

@AmplifyMJ
13 years! I still remember the moment I heard the news! I was in shock!…he passed in the exact same way he vowed to avoid, as another victim of fame. Sad irony! I’ll bump some MJ today 💯!

@JasmineDragon
That reply cracked me up! I’m sure u weren’t the only one wondering how they were managing to play THAT many titles over THAT many consoles every single weekend. @nhSnork…was beginning to believe your ambitious gaming was simply your career!

Oh on a final note..if Nintendo doesn’t drop a Direct next week can we chill out on the hate and disappointment?? Nintendo hasnt announced or promised anything at this point. Stop being caught up in the false expectations of others! Enjoy your lives, a Direct will happen when it happens! Treat it as a pleasant surprise.

I’ll continue my playthrough of Subnautica, really enjoying the game experience. I recently found a bunch of DS/3DS games I thought were lost. There’s a ton of titles like Zelda Spirit Tracks, Contra 4, even found the entire 999 series so looking fwd to get getting reacquainted with my 3DS.

I caved and purchased TMNT and finally got AI The Somnium Files 1 on the cheap from the Big Ol Super Sale. Now..just waiting for Obra Din to go on sale…will Rebel Galaxy Outlaw ever go on sale?

As per usual this weekend will include some excellent dining, time with friends, top grade strains on deck are Pink Death, Gods Green Crack and LA Kush Cake!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

I have not been gaming much at all of late but it’s been kinda nice taking a bit of a break. If I get any gaming in it’ll likely be “diving” back into Subnautica…other than that really no plans for gaming. I’m sure my weekend will be spent enjoying some good food, might catch up on some Comics…my strains on deck this weekend are some classic Super Silver Haze, LA Kush Cake, Death Bubba and some seriously potent Nitro Cookies!

Have a great weekend!

Never played this franchise but I always respected its longevity. Might finally give it a try, now where to start?

What a great game! It’s addicting and the game just has this vibrant and fun energy to it. I’ll check out this DLC, nice to see the added support soon after launch. Switch is an Indie beast!

Good to hear I just picked it up on sale for like $5, it’s in the backlog of course but looking forward to trying this game out

@MeloMan

I’ve never tried the Bow out yet, kinda love the plethora of gameplay options Monster Hunter series provides! I’ll def have to try a bow or one of the bowgun options …I like the Glaives ability to be both long range and up close and personal, I’ll have to try some of the distance based weapons out. Some of these new monsters look like a handful

Insect Glaive all day! Most versatile weapon around for balancing mobility and damage. It is underrated. I’ve used other weapons but always come back to the Insect Glaive. Looking forward to Sunbreak and some new weapon trees to hunt for!

@Enriesto

If your curious about jumping into the MH series I’d say MH Rise is the most accessible entry yet. I highly recommend you give the game a try, it’s a massive series with a vast amount of gameplay options for everyone. There is definitely a learning curve but it’s a rewarding game, nothing beats hunting with friends, one of gaming finest multiplayer experiences. Once it sinks it’s teeth in you …you’re a Monster Hunter for life!

I’m guessing Outer Wilds gets a firm release, same with Fall Guys. It won’t ever happen but I’d love an announcement of some Hades DLC.

@FishyS

I have the same relationship with Hollow Knight, it’s an amazing game…excellent music, really creepy, dark but super cool atmosphere….but I have no idea where am at or exactly what I’m even suppose to doing. I always promise I’ll go back to it and finally commit to playing it thru but naw…I need a GPS update lol. I’ll get to it eventually tho…might lightly use a guide tho! In much the same manner I’m pretty hyped for song Silksong…not 100% sure why but I’ll just roll with it

So I downloaded the update and it’s got bugs in it…I now hit zombies and they start dying in slow motion…or even started floating in the air and will stay there. I can still loot then or use the corpses for camouflage but this update is a buggy mess! Also seems like zombies are far more resistant. They now require 2-3 headshots? I dunno , glad they are still supporting the game but this update needs more time in the oven

Looking forward to this! Capcom has been great in supporting MH Rise, this should bring some much added value ..even though this expansion ain’t cheap! My main has been the Insect Glaive…looking forward to new weapon trees! Great game!!

Cool game, I should play it more often. I haven’t beaten it but have had some deep runs. I’ve yet to play this game in multiplayer where I think it would shine. Looking forward to the update!

As soon it’s this goes back on sale in the eshop i will get it. Big fan of the 999 series on DS/3DS. Great to hear it’s getting a sequel

Recently finished Or and the Blind Forrest , great game. Havent been gaming much of late , I’ll likely start something from the backlog. Disco Elysium or perhaps finally start Subnautica? Been kinda nice taking a bit of a break from gaming tbh.
Have a nice weekend!

@Mynameishello

Was that a journal entry?

@ogo79

She’s clearly playing tic tac toe by herself 😂

999 series is sincere. Amazing games, they are definitely in the must play territory. As soon as AI Somnium Files goes on sale I’ll be getting it. Would love a new entry in the 999 series…they should create escape rooms based off the nonary game!

@JustMonika
Mass Effect x Fallout:New Vegas is quite the mashup! Thanks for the comparison, much better idea of what to expect of The Outer Worlds now

@Nancyboy
Welcome to the club! Looks like the team has assembled…us yet to play Skyrim folk need to stick together!…all 5 of us! Now all we need is a Tree house as our base of operations lol

@BlueGBAMicro
The game sounds better the more I hear of it. Sounds like it runs pretty well on the Switch! It’s moved up some notches on my Backlog list.

@MischiefMaker
Perhaps I’ll break the Oath and finally give the game a go. With BOTW 2 delayed it might be a good time to try Skyrim. The game seems almost too massive to complete but maybe playing in snippets is the way to go. I guess the game looked a bit robotic being over 10 years old, but sounds like it’s still worth while experience

@BlueGBAMicro, @JustMonika

I’ve had Outer Worlds for a long while now, have yet to make it to the title screen. Damn near forgot I even had it, I believe I was turned off by the initial bugs at launch , I’ve heard the game has been patched and improved. There’s is quite a bit of DLC support for this title, you guys might encourage me to finally unwrap the game and give it a go. I’ve got no idea what the game entails

@OorWullie, @stuntzombie, @kurtasbestos

I’m joining this newly formed club!…never played Skyrim either. I’m not really even considering it during this current sale. The game is a decade old, I’m sure it’s still a good game but maybe it’s time has passed me by. Perhaps with a larger discount I could be enticed. I did finally pick up QUAKE tho, I’m still without Doom1,2 and 64 tho so maybe I’ll feed the backlog.

Just 1 left…

How in the world did they leave RUINER off this list? RUINER is probably the biggest omission I could think of, not to mention one of the most underrated twin sticks around. Between story line, graphics and gameplay RUINER is absolutely worthy of this list. Without it , I’ll just go ahead and consider this list as….RUINED.

Ironically I just read a hands on write up randomly on CNN. The reviewer there was absolutely gushing over this game. He was talking about how much he’s already addicted to the game , literally made this game sound like a Must Buy lol. I played the demo as well , mixed bag is exactly what that experience was. Cool to see Nintendo still promoting motion controls and the joy con features but this is giving off Wii Music vibes already. Easy pass for moi

@Lizuka

God looking out! I’ll just check it on Gamepass. Much appreciated!

I’ve got this game on my wish list, soon as it goes on sale again I’ll grab it. Once I heard it was from the same maker of the 999 series I was all in! Glad to hear this game is being well received

Damn…so much hate towards E3! Sure there was a lot of corporate talk and filler over the last few years but it was still a celebration of the industry and the tech that accompanies it. Nintendo caught into this years ago hence the creation of Nintendo Directs however E3 was fun just for all the hype and “who win E3” fanboy battles. It was good in terms of offering “hands on” experiences to gamers. I’m not sure things like the Wii or DS/3DS could have been properly conveyed without a hands on showing such as E3. It’s not the end of the world but hopefully in the future there is a dedicated time of year for the gaming industry to create momentum and connect with its gamers.

@OorWullie

I can highly recommend Katana Zero! It’s definitely got that Devolver Flavour, it’s got an engaging story and the gameplay mechanics are great. It’s on sale often but it’s absolutely worth the purchase. There is a rather sizeable free update we’ve all been eagerly awaiting so there’s so added value incoming. I put it off for some time , same as you and had Zero regrets once I finally purchased it.

For whatever reason I’m expecting DLC for Hades to be announced , perhaps as a surprise announcement at E3? Seems like that game still has some legs left! This is more than likely just wishful thinking tho!

@Neoicelord

Impossible to know…you just have to play the game to know. It’s an incredibly deep game in regards to gameplay, farming materials ,crafting, weapon mastery and hunting monsters! Try the free trial to get a true feel, it’s an amazing series and game but it’s not for everyone

Looks like this is the Switch’s Monster Hunter version of “IceBorne”. I’m looking forward to it, seems to be a fairly large expansion, I’ve put in over 100 hrs to the base game and I still have a ton of quests to compete still. Capcom has done a really good job with adding value and content…to bad the physical version will just include a download code for Sunbreak tho!

The definition of an ever green title. I have to give Nintendo credit, they really found a way to maximize an 8 yr old IP. Sadly this all but confirms no MK9 until the Switch predecessor is launched but this will easily rejuvenate this blockbuster hit. Even noticed MK8 is sitting #1 in weekly games Switch game sales …which is crazy in 2022, they marketed and placed the DLC with perfect timing for those Mar10 sales. What’s old is new again. Is this, Majoras Mask and F-Zero enough added value to convince those of us on the fence to bite on that online Expansion pak 🤔?!

@DarkCoolEdge

K thanks for clearing that up! That’s about what I was expecting. I’m going in blind to Disco Elysium but based off your short time with it…it sounds like a gem!

@DarkCoolEdge

K good to know! So would u say it plays more like a visual novel with all the reading ? As I thought there was voiced dialogue in the updated version. Don’t mind too much reading but I also don’t want to “read” a video game lol

@DarkCoolEdge

Oh man I need to really start Disco Elysium…it’s buried deep within the backlog. I believe there were 2 very recent updates that greatly improve the overall experience. Looking forward to this one, I believe the physical release is incoming soon?

A “victims of multiple purchases of MK8 across multiple platforms” support group is desperately needed…you and I will sit on the board for sure lol! Yes Im getting the blasted booster course packs as well…now I’m eyeing the online expansion pak as it seems like an improved value with the booster courses being added for “free”. Im just going to mail Nintendo my wallet with all my financial info at this point!

Fam had an absolute blast playing MK8 online with Uncles, aunts and cousins last night ….5 yrs later they’re asking me …”why didn’t we get this game earlier?!” So to make up for lost time I had to pay the price twice! SMH!

@Aozz101x

Glad to see quite a few ppl playing Luigis Mansion 3, ive been eager to jump back in that game , it’s criminally under appreciated and not sure many have taken the time to complete it. I just purchased the multiplayer pack so good excuse to jump back in!

Happy Gaming to u!

Recently got fleeced by Nintendo and caved and finally bought MK8 for Switch 😆. The fleecing occurred because I bought both a digital and physical version of the game. I already owned it on Wii U so they’ve now got me 3 times! Fam had a blast with it last night tho!

I’m continuing my play through of DYING LIGHT and recently started Deaths Door which so far has been a really cool and challenging game!

Went on a hunt with my son for 1st time in MONSTER HUNTER RISE and we had a great time smacking around some Monsters.

Might check out the newly released Disney film Turning Red if time allows. Ordered some smoked bbq for the weekend …it’s outrageously delicious and will indulge in some current strains on deck …L.A Kush Cake, Freshly Baked and some Plum Dosi 😉 Finally will probably grab some more Comics, the new PUNISHER series is off to an interesting start!

HaPpY GaMiNG!!

This collection looks dope…Konami will milk this one all day! That and the new Turtles game from Dotemu should make Turtles fans happy. Wonder if they’ll be any online modes ?

@gojiguy

I believe most stores have adjusted the physical copy pricing as well….they await your hard earned $!
