Will be busy studying but if I have free time I will likely play a little choas head Noah, Megaman battle network collection and maybe super Mario party jamboree.

Got to say, I love the hot fuzz reference on this article 😂. I also love the fact that a few people on here are playing Nier automata. Such a masterpiece. To the person here playing Nier replicant, yeah it might not come to switch but it should definitely come to switch 2.

Hmm… not much going on for me after beating alan wake 1 remaster on switch and drakengard 3 on ps3. I will probably play some Megaman battle network collection(specifically battle network 4 red sun, since I never played that version, only blue moon)

Maybe I will start chaos head Noah on switch since my copy has just been sitting there 😂. But I can’t devote to much time to it now since I am studying for a big test for the beginning of December.

Still mostly the same stuff from last week. Playing Alan wake remastered and doing the dlc stuff. Been an interesting game. I do like it. My friend didn’t even start it like we promised ugh.

Just Unlocked the bowser board in Mario party jamboree. Can’t wait to play that.

Drakengard 3 on my ps3. Got to the last part in the game. Hated the freaking rhythm genre they put into the game that has no business being there. Hardest part in the game. Impossible for me to do it. I need save states to do something like that. I just looked up the ending online which wasn’t much. Never had to do that in a game ever. Just goes to show how hard that part is. Still have the last part of the dlc to do so I will do that. Very disappointed by this game overall. Only thing good about it is story and characters

@AJWolfTill I was saying in a general sense. They don’t bash all the time, mainly botw is like the one of the very few games they praise a lot when it released. But after all that I saw from ign, they still have a bit of an “attitude” towards Nintendo. You can say whatever you want. It’s your opinion. But from what I’ve seen from them, I still stand by what I said.

It’s ign. They are usually like this to Nintendo and it’s games. Not all the time but they used to be during the Wii U days and before them. I stopped taking them seriously years ago even though they used to be my favorite news site for games way back then.

Feel like it’s been a while since I’ve been on here lol. I just beat Voice of Cards Forsaken Maiden a few days ago and the secret boss too. The game is definitely harder then the first game but it was good. Very emotional too.

Also just beat Alan wake remastered after that. Good story. Kept me hooked. The gameplay is a little janky like resident evil 6 or revelation 2 but it was good enough. I still have to play the dlc story stuff on it to see what else happens.

Will try to play some drakengard 3 on other consoles besides switch lol.

Didn’t finish it on my Wii U(still only in the beginning of it) since it was annoying to set the game up all the time lol. Will most likely be buying it day 1 but a couple of things might hold me back from buying it day 1. Like is it going to have switch 2 enhancements when it comes out or whatever and will it have Japanese voices in addition to the English ones(which I think it will most likely given the past titles on switch).

I haven’t tried all the side modes and haven’t played all the boards yet but I think this is an ok Mario party. Not the best but not the worst. Definitely better then the super Mario party but not as good as superstars, the last one. Some of the new mini games, including the motion ones are not good. However there are some really fun ones on there. I am mixed on this. Maybe it will get better but I am not liking how they combined both of the last Mario parties together. Some mini games are not playable when using a pro controller which sucks. Not a lot of mini games as I thought. Glad they brought back some mini games from past games though

Finally beat the stupid super boss in Octopath traveler 2. Man what a hard fight. Had to cheese it a little to beat it. There is that update patch/dlc that gives you more super bosses to fight on the start screen but they are way harder for some reason 😅. I decided not to do it for now. Beating the super boss was enough.

I have moved on to playing voice of cards forsaken maiden. Played the first game a while ago and loved it a lot. Love that they mirror the Nier games and that you can get the music from them too which makes the game even more awesome.

Started Alan wake too but my friend who I am supposed to be playing it with is procrastinating so I am doing the beginning on my own. He will have to catch up later lol.

Also just got super Mario party Jamboree. So far it’s a bit mixed with me. I like some things of it and I hate some about it. I will still keep playing it though. Hopefully it gets better

On vacation so not doing a lot of gaming now but I did finish the main story and epilogue for octopath 2. Finally it is done. Lol. One problem remains though which is the super boss from the first game. I don’t have it in me to go through that again lol. Have to look up a video on how to do that. Lol.

Hopefully will start Alan wake remastered soon on switch with my friend.

I usually don’t comment on this but I am glad Nintendo won’t allow anyone to buy them. Not Microsoft, not Saudi Arabia or anyone else. I still don’t understand that snk deal since the Japanese government really takes a close look at outsiders buying up companies in japan. I think there is something else going on besides what was listed above in this comment section but that’s just my speculation. I am an investor of Nintendo myself. I got a lot of my money on them specifically so I always watch for news about stock very closely. I get why Saudi Arabia is doing this of course but I will say that the issues in Saudi Arabia like human rights is a big deal. They still won’t really acknowledge any wrong on their part(or rather feel guilty from the things they were accused of it seems) Not that I expected them too. 😂. This just what I know from people I have talked to and read about.

Mostly just finishing off the final chapters of octopath 2. Got 3 more to go. Then comes the very difficult post game stuff. Ugh.

I just bought voice of cards the forsaken maiden since it was on sale. Loved the first game, so hopefully the this one is just as good or even better but I won’t be playing it as much yet.

Going to buy Alan wake remaster(since it’s on sale) which will be my Halloween game lol. My friend and I are going to play it together since we promised we would. I heard the switch version was terrible but the patches seemed to have fixed most problems now.

For non Nintendo systems, maybe drakengard 3 again. Lol

@UltimateOtaku91 that’s true. I don’t disagree that the majority seems to like the botw open world concept but for totk, the fatigue of a big open world seems like it started to set in. Totk sales slowed down a lot after a few months of launch. It’s launch of course was amazing but it slowed down to a point that even I thought was odd for probably the most anticipated sequel. Also lots of people after playing botw noted that the dungeons in it were pretty terrible and wanted traditional dungeons at least in totk. Totk did get that though which was good. So some people definitely want the traditional too in Zelda games. We are kinda of seeing it in eow which is cool but I don’t like that you can go through puzzles(like totk). Just my opinion.

Like what you are saying, I do think that traditional and open world Zelda games can both be developed. My friends and I think they could still do open world 3D Zelda, 3D traditional Zelda, and 2d Zelda in the future. As hard as that seems. Also going off by aonuma’s comments it seems botw style gameplay and everything like that is done with totk. Looks like they are going to evolve it further with the next big title. Whenever that comes out lol

@UltimateOtaku91 speak for yourself. I rather have traditional ones then a big open world. Totk shows the fatigue that a big open world that’s technically the same from the first game only bigger and a long game at that can turn some people off after a while. traditional to me is better although that’s my opinion but I am definitely getting tired of open world Zelda. Eow seems ok but it’s clearly totk in 2d from what I have got.

Pretty good showing. On this list, the games I am getting are fantasian and probably dragon quest 3. Maybe sonic generations much later down the line if I have time lol.

Definitely want fantasian ever since I saw it but didn’t want to touch Apple Arcade lol. I hope it’s good on switch.

I know Zelda is out but I am not getting it until closer to holidays like December. I am not that thrilled to play this one but I hope I can still enjoy it I guess.

Otherwise I am still playing the same games as the past few weeks. Octopath traveler 2 is the main switch game I am playing. Pretty much the only game I am playing now. I am at everyone’s final chapters for the main game. Can’t wait to see how it ends for each character. Got to also grind for that dang true final super boss. Ugh

As for non switch games, still playing drakengard 3. If I get around to it.

@Bobb same here. Lol. Doesn’t help that this jrpg is a long one if it is the exact same from the Apple Arcade version. Ughh. I hope it’s good. Heard some good things about this one

Pretty much the same for me this week as usual. 😂. Octopath traveler 2 is my main game. Finishing up people’s chapter 2’s and some chapter 3’s. On Hikari’s chapter 3 now.

Did play and finished the reynatis demo just a little while ago. It sadly isn’t that great although I kinda of expected that. 😂. Don’t know if I will get it. Probably later down the line as the combat has potential. But the demo ran awful towards the end. Even crashed.

For non switch, I probably will go do some drakengard 3.

The performance issues are not only on switch though. They are on pc as well for sure. Not sure if it crashed as much as switch but it’s not good on pc at all. I think the same with ps4 and ps5 but I haven’t checked it out much.

It is a shame this game is in this state. I feel like it definitely could have been a great game if most of these areas are fixed like the writing, graphics and performance. Maybe change the gameplay a little too. But this is furyu afterall. They don’t really release a lot of killer titles. Very little has stand out as a matter of fact for them. I don’t ever usually buy from them after playing a few of their games because they were all mediocre and suffered from a myriad of problems. I want furyu to do better but I don’t think it’s going to happen.

@anoyonmus it’s not a straight port though. It’s a remaster. I don’t know how much it’s upgraded from the original though but if the graphics and performance got a upgrade then it’s probably the reason why it’s struggling on switch. Probably.

Same stuff for me this weekend. 😂. I finished the card en ciel demo a little while ago and I like it. I don’t know if I will buy it day 1 since there is no physical US release but it might happen later. Got other games to get down first anyways.

Working on everyone’s chapter 2’s in octopath traveler 2. There is a lot. 😂. Good thing I finished all characters chapter 1’s.

For non Nintendo systems, just trying to finish drakengard 3.

I do agree with sakurai on this. Glad he mentioned it. I don’t really see game developers mentioning this. This might be my problem because I play a lot of jrpg which are usually long and there’s the botw totk stuff that’s too time consuming to me. Especially since they are essentially the same game to me in some ways. Didn’t even attempt to do a lot on totk. Lol. But I digress. My way to handle this is if I have a long game to tackle, then I want to make sure I have a short game or 2 to play along with it. Preferably different gameplay from the long game. That way I keep things fresh even while doing a long game and avoid burnout.

Finally beaten baten kaitos origins. Have mixed feelings about it. I didn’t hate it at all but I felt that it wasn’t really necessary to make a prequel to the first game. What really ticked me off is that the game has a crazy bug where one of the side quests, the biggest side quest becomes undoable 🤦‍♂️. Well whatever, the game was long and hard actually. Had some crazy difficulty spikes. Story was a little darker then the first one. Well the series is finished unless there is going to be a new one which I don’t think there will be unfortunately.

Getting through everyone’s first chapters in octopath traveler 2. Game will be a long one 😂.

Downloaded the card en ciel demo yesterday. It’s interesting so far. Gameplay isn’t perfect and it’s slow but I am enjoying it I think. 😂.

For non switch/Nintendo games, I am only playing a little of drakengard 3. Hopefully I will finish it soon. 😂

Chugging away at baten kaitos origins still. Got most of the story done and most of the side quests done(the very annoying ones remain 🤦‍♂️). Game has some crazy difficulty spikes and it’s much longer then I thought it was.

Don’t think I will be able to get in to octopath 2 this week or next lol.

On my ps3, still working on beating drakengard 3. Doing it’s dlc now. It has a major problem for me though.

Would love to play fdc emio but I got to play the other games in the series first.

Hmm… still the same as last week again for me. Mainly playing baten kaitos origins. Longer game then I thought even though side quests are a part of that reason. Getting my butt kicked on certain bosses. Difficulty spikes are a bit crazy in this game. Just finally made it to the second half of the game/disc 2.

Might finally go back to octopath traveler 2 to start it from the the demo. Just don’t have the energy to do it since it’s a long game.

On non switch games, I will try to complete the last ending of drakengard 3 and it’s dlc. I almost there.

Hmm… for me it’s pretty much the same as last week. Baten kaitos origins is like the main game I am playing now. Almost halfway done with it. Will be a longer game then I thought for me 😂.

I am also almost done with drakengard 3 main story as far as non switch games go. Still got the dlc stuff to do on it though.

I just got octopath traveler 2 a few days ago. Don’t feel like really diving into it yet. 😂. It’s a big game. It’s a lot to get into since it’s been a while since I played the demo.

Not much changed for me from last week. Playing baten kaitos origins. Pretty much the main game I am doing now. Maybe a little Megaman battle network legacy collection.

For non switch games. I am still hammering away drakengard 3 little by little. Got ending/route C done just a little while ago.
Don’t even know if I will even touch bravely default 1 this week or next week. 😂

Hmm… it’s tricky for me but the games I am most excited for is emio(need to play other games in the series first), super Mario party jamboree(though I did not care for the first super Mario party on switch at all), and Metroid prime 4. Zelda I am undecided on because while it’s a new game, I am not that excited about playing as Zelda for most of the game and more then that that gameplay is like totk in 2d form. Loos like you can break puzzles in this game like totk too. It seems like it took too many things from totk which I am not a fan of much. Just my opinion. Mario and Luigi looks great and a nice surprise but I haven’t played that series in a long time and fell off it. Might get it next year. Maybe. Already have donkey Kong for Wii. No need to play the same again. Not interested in that Pokémon game but we will see. Well I got some 3rd party games to keep me occupied for this year too so I am already set.

For switch: Beat paper Mario ttyd around a couple of weeks ago. Just beat the optional/superbosses in it a few days ago. Man, the pit of trials is annoying 😂. The new superbosses are quite challenging. Just beat Golden Sun the lost age a few days ago too and beat all superbosses the day after. Don’t know how I was able to beat the hardest superboss in it with my level 😳. Glad I did. Don’t know if I will ever do the third and final golden sun game after hearing about it but I am not seeking it out nor do I have any intention to now. Now I am starting the second Baten Kaitos game which is a prequel to the first one. Beat the first one on switch a while ago. Combat is taking some time to get used to compared to the first game oddly enough but it seems good. Playing a little bit of Megaman battle network collection here and there. Doing part 4 red sun mainly. It’s not a backlog game though or anything.

For non switch: I am playing drakengard 3 now. Maybe I will do bravely default 1 on 3ds but I am not crazy about that game. 😂.

For me, same as last week. Playing paper Mario ttyd of which I just completed most of the seventh chapter. Going to the finale of it now. Playing a bit of golden sun the lost age as well. About half way done with the game I think. I am at a really long and annoying dungeon 😂. As far as other systems, Have been playing a bit of drakengard 3 recently. Huge Nier fan.

On this list I would love Nier replicant, the old resident evil games and Xenoblade X. Although its been said that putting Xenoblade X on switch would be very difficult with the Wii U game pad part and mainly Nintendo needs to fund this. I have a feeling it could be for switch 2. Probably next year even. But I don’t see it coming to switch 1 at all but I could be wrong. I hope we at least get Nier replicant for switch 2 then if we don’t get it for switch 1. We should definitely have that game after Nier automata

Finally finished 13 sentinels. One heck of game. My friend finished it just before me even though we were trying to finish it at the same time but whatever 😂. It was a good deep game. I still some small issues with it though but it was definitely worth playing.

For games I am working on now, I am playing paper Mario ttyd on switch of course and I just finished chapter 6. Love this game so much. It’s my favorite paper Mario of course. Loved the remastered music in it and chapter 4 is my favorite of the game.

Playing golden sun the lost age too. I just got the boat. So the game is going to open up to me a bit more which means a bunch more to do. 😂.

I was playing bravely default 1 on 3ds but I am not enjoying it as much. Only go back to do a little at a time and that’s it. Don’t know if I have the strength to play through the game. 😂

@JohnnyMind ok I understand. I figured it’s during the whole week and not a weekend. It’s the same for me too when I list games I am playing on here sometimes. Thanks for clarifying. I usually only buy physical unless there is no physical version of a game I want in which case I go digital. So I have a mix of digital and physical even though I prefer physical. You have a good schedule for your games. I wanted to hear people’s thoughts and methods on how they tackle their backlogs.

My weekend is the same as before. Playing 13 sentinels, paper Mario and the thousand year door and golden sun the lost age. Haven’t made much progress on golden sun because I just got to a big annoying area of the game 😂 but I got to the 4th chapter of paper Mario now. As for 13 sentinels, my friend is a little ahead of me in it. We are doing some battling in it before going back into the story. I am like 1/3 done with the story part and like 1/4 done with the battling part.

@JohnnyMind been meaning to ask you how you manage to play that many games? Just asking for a friend and I guess myself. Lol. Also are all those games physical? Just asking for the same friend.

Glad Nintendo doesn’t get involved with summer games fest. Geoff is just full of himself. After the game awards last year, I wonder if Geoff is on Nintendo’s s**t list if he wasn’t already. Lol. Seriously though, I bet he wouldn’t be kissing Nintendo’s butt nearly as much if the switch and Nintendo themselves were doing bad like the Wii U days.

On the second chapter of paper Mario and the thousand year door. Beginning it anyway. Love the game so far. Never finished the original.

Also playing 13 sentinels with my friend while he plays it on ps5. I am playing it on switch. We are both loving it. Very deep and complicated but it’s a good thing in this case. I am doing the characters/visual novel part until I can’t anymore or get bored with it and then go do some battles.

Golden sun 2 the lost age. Played and beat the first one a few years ago finally 😂. Was happy to see these games be on switch online. I am still only a few hours in. I am not happy being the other cast after playing with the original cast from the first game but I know that they come later in the second game. Just want to reach that point. 😂

I just beat star ocean 2 on switch. Great game. Don’t feel like playing as the other character Rena since it’s essentially the same story 😂. Did the extra stuff too like the secret dungeon and the super bosses. My friend and I are playing 13 sentinels together. Doing bits of it at a time. While we are far away from each other. Also going to start playing golden sun 2 on the Switch online service, beat the first one on the Wii U a while ago and entered in that really long crazy password to transfer my progress from the first game to the second 😂. When paper Mario comes out for switch I will play that too. Playing Megaman battle network collection as a fun thing. It’s not backlog since I beat all of them on gba. Just playing it for extra content that was cut out. Playing Megaman battle network 4 red sun now since I only played the blue moon version on gba.

@Vyacheslav333 oh yeah lol! I forgot about that. It is weird. So glad the sequel had dual audio. But I heard the first game had an option for Japanese voices on the smart phone/mobile port in the English store. Hmm…

@Vyacheslav333 true. I forgot about that. But I am weird in that I still play the kingdom hearts games even though I can’t get the dual option in them. Kingdom hearts and resident evil are the only games I can tolerate in English even though a few resident evil games have the dual audio option. I am weird in that regard although I like Japanese voices the best. Back to your point, I should have said that lots of square games had dual audio. Still weird for them to not do it but considering what square is going through with games right now, I guess it’s not that surprising lol

I have been on the fence about this one. I haven’t really played any saga games. At least to completion. But after reading this review and the fact there is no Japanese voice option which is bizarre coming from square, made it definite that I am not going to get this game. But I got too much to play for now anyway. Trying to get my backlog down. Lol

Hmm. To me, If a game crashes at all without doing something to intentionally break the game then it deserves a lower score. I review games too so I know I would dock it’s score just for that. Hearing about the game now, I won’t be getting it. Not just for the reviews even though they contributed to it but the crashes itself ruins the game for me a lot. Also have a backlog so I probably wouldn’t get it anytime soon anyway lol. No one seems to remember but this game was originally billed for the switch successor and the developers didn’t think the switch could handle it. Maybe now we know why even though this game doesn’t look too demanding at all. 🤷‍♂️

Basically the same as last week for me. I did finish paper Mario 64 on switch last week. Beat it for like the nth time. Lol. Star ocean 2 the second story r is my main priority as usual. Megaman battle network collection as I am playing Megaman battle network 4 red sun right now. Played and completed the other blue moon version on my gba. Trying to find 13 sentinels so me and my friend can play together. Of course all of these games are on switch

Playing star ocean 2 the second story r and possibly doing some Megaman battle network collection and paper Mario 64 on switch. But star ocean is priority since it’s a backlog and i haven’t beaten it whereas I beaten nearly every Megaman battle network game on gba and beaten paper Mario 64 several times 😂

Zelda totk is my most played on switch but not my favorite game of the year that I have played. That honor goes to Nier automata on switch. One of the best games I played ever in my opinion. Persona 5 Royal too. Live a live was amazing as well and it was like my biggest surprise game in the way that I didn’t expect the game to be that good. Yes I know it came out in 2022 like the other 2 games but I have a big backlog to go through. 😂

@Duck_Farmer you can play it but you still won’t understand certain things in the end of the game like certain characters near the end. You get more out of Xenoblade 3 if you played 1 and 2. There aren’t that standalone in my opinion. They are all connected. The dlc for 3 really brings everything together too.

Good luck on Metroid’s prime’s final boss. I struggled with it too. Barely beat him.

Just got done Zelda tears of the kingdom yesterday. Better then botw definitely but not a big fan of the story. Game was way too long then it needed to be in my opinion. This weekend I am playing persona 5 Royal(trying to start the fifth palace), star ocean 2 second story demo, maybe some Megaman battle network collection(playing part 1 now since it’s the only one I never touched in the past). Still waiting for my baten kaitos physical game copy to come. So slow 🤦‍♀️ 😂

For people doubting it. I am pretty sure docked mode is where you see higher spec improvements. Handheld mode will likely not look as good for obvious reasons. Also it probably only looks like that on the surface for the Ps5 looks but in reality it’s probably ps4 pro level or somewhere around the ball park which is what I am hearing which is still pretty good. Docked mode can have the capability to unlock more from a switch 2 if done right. It kind of already does in a switch 1 but it’s very limited of course.

Ugh. I don’t hate botw or totk but I don’t want to see that game over and over again. I want to see some new 2D Zeldas and 3D traditional ones like ocarina. I think there is room for all to exist. Give botw style ones a few years to show up every now and again since they take a long time to make. I know people might not agree with me here but I am just tired of exploring all the time and getting no story, reward or battling enemies sometimes. Climbing is annoying. Bothered the hell out of me in botw. Totk I am not sure how much climbing is involved but there seems to be a lot of the same as botw. Still pretty much in the beginning of it anyways. Oh well

Completely agree with what one person said on here about totk and their fear of possibly being repetitive. Botw was repetitive after a long while. Just got tired of exploring and climbing empty mountains and getting nothing rewarding or nothing in return for it. Also it’s lack of story didn’t keep me interested in it much at all but that’s just me. I liked botw still but it’s hard to ignore the issues I had with it after I realized I had like 200 hours in it. 😂. I just don’t want to play the same game over again when it’s very long like botw. I am not saying totk is the same yet but hiding from the trailers I don’t know if it has enough to be different for me. I hope so since I preordered this game a long time ago. I hope there is a much better story and it’s not just exploring and that’s it. At least the dungeons look way better this time around even if there long. I hated the divine beasts in botw. It was so repetitive. Each one looked and played the same to me. This is all just my opinion for anyone that wants to bash me here. 😂
