I am 36 and don’t have time to be punished by games. I never beat Dark Souls - I couldn’t beat a boss late in the game and gave up. If I could‘be turned the difficulty down to get through that section I probably would’ve played the whole way through. It’s a shame because I was enjoying it until that point.
I didn’t enjoy Bayonetta on ‘Normal’ because it felt like the game was playing itself and I was just mashing buttons occasionally.
I’ve just finished God of War on easy, spiderman on Normal and now playing HZD on easy.
Just pick the level that makes the game fun for you.
I’m too busy with life, social commitments and running my own business to struggle over one section of a game for hours upon end.
@mcdreamer I’ll def be tempted by PS5 but I’ll see how much I end up playing PS4. I’ve enjoyed switch because I don’t often have time to sit down and play a proper console.
If I decide to get PS5 I’ll just sell the 4 to help pay for it.
Also depends how much the 5 costs. I prob won’t get it til it drops a bit if it’s over £400
After 80 hours of AC having unlocked terraforming etc I’ve been less engaged with it as I don’t really know what to do with my island. Might have to re-visit the backlog or pick up something new
About 50 hours into Animal Crossing in under 2 weeks - this is definitely going to be my most played game on switch before too long.
I feel like I’ve made a bit of a mess of my island planting trees in the wrong place and not properly planning where to put things so I might try to move things around this weekend.
I held off on Animal Crossing as I’ve never played one before and was worried I’d find it boring.
Today is my fourth day and I’ve built the museum, the shop, upgraded my house to the bigger version, built a bridge, created 3 news houses for new residents, furnished those houses, and spent last night dreaming of cartoon racoons.
I love my switch and have tons of great games for it but there’s been nothing that’s got me excited for a while. Second half of 2019 and this year so far there’s been nothing I really wanted to buy.
Finished wind waker and I’ve got twilight princess on standby but I need a palate cleanser so think I’m going to split my time between super monkey ball 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider
I’m up to the (I think) final dungeon in Ashen but it’s really hard so I’m having a break.
I’ve finally got the Dolphin emulator running on my iMac so I’m currently working my way through Zelda Windwaker which is absolutely stunning in glorious HD!
I’ve just started playing Arkham City on my iMac - it’s really really good so far. Never had a computer capable of gaming before so I’ll probably be off Nintendo for a bit as there’s loads to catch up on
I’ll carry on picking up a few quests in Witcher 3 tomorrow afternoon. I’m enjoying the game but only playing in short bursts here and there. I get bored quite quickly.
I might trade in a couple of games for the new Pokemon next week if I go past a game shop
I’ve been dragged away from Ori and the Blind Forest (which I absolutely love) by The Witcher 3.
I was worried I wouldn’t like Witcher as I found Skyrim overwhelming and gave up on it after a couple of hours but so far so good. It is quite blurry on the TV though.

TLOU2 - will prob pick up Mario 3D all stars when it comes out if I can get a physical copy
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 29th)
Playing Minish Cap at the moment.
I’ve started this game so many times but never got very far.
Just about finished the first dungeon so that’s better than my previous efforts.
Re: New Nintendo Infographic Shows Exciting Indies Coming To Switch In 2020 And Beyond
Excited for Silksong.
Grindstone is a really good puzzle game but also available on Apple Arcade and it’s probably best played on iPad/phone
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 8th)
PS4 - get your act together Nintendo...
Re: Soapbox: There's No Shame In Playing On Easy, Even If You're A Pro
Saying all that I loved Super Meat Boy, Celeste, and Hollow Knight - all of which were savagely difficult

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 1st)
DKC on SNES online. Probably my favourite game of all time
Re: Poll: No, Really, What Was Nintendo's Worst Year?
2020 is the switches worst year for sure (so far)
They could drop the new Zelda and all would be forgiven
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 18th)
God Of War on PS4 - sorry Nintendo

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 11th)
Finally caved and bought a PS4. Ive been playing and loving God Of War & Spider-Man. Last of Us 2 arrived today.
I’ll prob pick up paper Mario when it comes out depending on reviews
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 4th)
Rise of the Tomb Raider on imac - it’s making me want a PS4 for more top quality single player adventure games.
Nintendo has dropped the ball for the last 2 years.
I was playing my switch non stop for the first year or so but there’s a real lack of games that appeal to me at the moment.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 27th)
Bioshock and bloodstained. Prob not a great deal of either
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 20th)
Bioshock remastered and Bloodstained. I’m mostly playing Bloodstained but only an hour in and can’t seem to make it to a new save point before dying
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 13th)
I bought Bioshock remastered and Bloodstained in the sale. Can’t pick which to play so I keep flirting between them
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 6th)
Struggling to get into any games at the mo. I dip in and out of ACNH but after 190 hours the charm is wearing off a bit.
I bought the escapists but instantly didn’t like it. Also picked up cosmic star heroine so might give that a go later
Re: Feature: Blue Fire Mixes Zelda, Dark Souls And Platforming - Exclusive Gameplay Footage And Character Reveal
This looks like it could be amazing. Keenly awaiting release/reviews
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 9th)
@dewokkel it looks great but feels overpriced so trying to wait for a sale
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 9th)
Finally got a 5 star rating on animal crossing, fully upgraded my house and got the gold watering can and axe. I’ll probably play it less now.
Still trying to resist streets of rage 4
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 2nd)
Must not buy streets of rage 4....
Animal crossing and I’ve also been enjoying the Blasphemous demo so might pick that up whilst it’s on sale
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 25th)
After 80 hours of AC having unlocked terraforming etc I’ve been less engaged with it as I don’t really know what to do with my island. Might have to re-visit the backlog or pick up something new
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd April (Europe)
Hmm might pick up Blasphemous at that price
Re: Capcom Is Hosting A Huge Spring Sale, Super Savings On 32 eShop Titles (North America)
Glad I didn’t but ace attorney the other day!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 18th)
More animal crossing for me. I’ve put nearly 80 hours in now. My islands a mess but having never played an AC before I’m learning everything as I go.

Guess it’s not boring
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 28th)
Probably having a video game break and painting miniatures for Zombicide board game.
Might even have a go at playing the game too
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct Mini?
I love my switch and have tons of great games for it but there’s been nothing that’s got me excited for a while. Second half of 2019 and this year so far there’s been nothing I really wanted to buy.
Quite liked the look of Good Job though....
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 7th)
Finally bought Slay The Spire after holding off this long - it’s very addictive.
I bought it because Dark Souks is draining my life force and needed something I could dive in and out of.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 29th)
Dark Souls which has finally clicked with me. So hard though.
When I finish that Twilight Princess HD is next on my list
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 22nd)
Finally bought Dark Souls. I’m right at the beginning and finding it crazy hard to get my attack timing right. Hopefully it’ll click soon.
Will prob dive back into The Witcher soon seeing as the update has improved the blurriness that was putting me off.
Re: 2K Kicks Off Nintendo Switch Sale With NBA, WWE And More Heavily Discounted (North America)
WWE2K on switch is unplayable. It’s the worst gaming experience I’ve ever had in 30+ years of gaming.
It does have some fairly amusing glitches though so there’s that I guess...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 25th)
Finished wind waker and I’ve got twilight princess on standby but I need a palate cleanser so think I’m going to split my time between super monkey ball 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 18th)
I’m towards the back end of wind Waker at the moment but still got to search for all the tri force pieces so that’ll keep me busy for a while longer.
Then I need to get back to Ashen and finish that last dungeon!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2020
Skyward sword is probably top of my list now I’ve got windwaker and twilight princess in HD
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 11th)
@beazlen1 hush now sweetheart.
I actually own the game so no problem emulating it for a better experience and have bought all of the Zelda games multiple times.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 11th)
I’m up to the (I think) final dungeon in Ashen but it’s really hard so I’m having a break.
I’ve finally got the Dolphin emulator running on my iMac so I’m currently working my way through Zelda Windwaker which is absolutely stunning in glorious HD!
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The First Nintendo Direct Of 2020
I'm mainly hoping for Zelda HD ports from the Wii U.
Anything Zelda or 3D Mario would be good really.
I'm also very intriuged to learn more about a Switch Pro if it exists.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - December 2019
I’ve been playing Ashen and absolutely loving it.
Making me think I might enjoy Dark Souls after all
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 7th)
Pokemon and Arkham City on mac
Re: Metacritic Reveals The 50 Best-Reviewed Games Of The Decade, Nintendo Takes Top Two Places
I’ve just started playing Arkham City on my iMac - it’s really really good so far. Never had a computer capable of gaming before so I’ll probably be off Nintendo for a bit as there’s loads to catch up on
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 23rd)

I might trade in a couple of games for the new Pokemon next week if I go past a game shop
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 16th)
I’ve had hardly any gaming time lately but I’ll be dropping into Witcher 3 to do a few quests as and when I have time tomorrow.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 9th)
Busy week has meant no gaming for me.
Tomorrow I plan to make some progress in the Witcher 3 and probably some picross
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 2nd)
Witcher 3 and some picross type game on iPad
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 26th)
@aVagabond only got a switch so didn’t have another option.
I can live with a bit of blur but I do keep contemplating a PS4 - maybe Black Friday will persuade me
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 26th)
I’ve been dragged away from Ori and the Blind Forest (which I absolutely love) by The Witcher 3.
I was worried I wouldn’t like Witcher as I found Skyrim overwhelming and gave up on it after a couple of hours but so far so good. It is quite blurry on the TV though.
Re: Feature: The Hall Of Shame – Games Or Series We Never Got Around To Playing
So many franchises I’ve never played. Didn’t game between the ps2 and the switch.
Big one that jumps to mind is Castlevania
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 19th)
@dugan yeah it’s WAY harder than I was expecting. Celeste difficulty at times
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 19th)
Half way through Ori and the blind forest which is amazing but really damn hard.
Going to pick up Witcher 3 next week which I’ve never played before.
Also maybe Yuko-Laylee
