@PhatToad I wouldn't call the game very deep. It's just a massive amount of content for it's price. The mission structure (especially the smaller mission) are very repetitive, but I don't mind the grind. I find the the gameplay loop really satisfying. I don't even fast travel that much either. I like to take my time as this game helps me unwind.
Been playing AC: Odyssey since the end of September. 165 hours now. Main game finished. Starting on chapter 3 of the Legacy of the First Blade DLC. I love this game!
Tempted to pick up The Touryst, but it's gonna have to wait a couple of weeks. I'm still on my AC: Odyssey binge. 130 Hours in currently and I still haven't touched the DLC packs yet. I love this game!
I played a cracked version of it on PC and and I wasn't thrilled about it. I played it for about an hour and found it very bland.
Yes, I am honest about downloading cracked games. I do so when there is no demo available. If I do like the game I stop playing and buy it. Haven't finished a cracked game since Fallout 3 (2008), and bought it anyway.
Nostalgia sure, but my guess is that disappointment is the driving factor. Disappointment that Nintendo isn't releasing N64 games on the Switch. Fans have been asking for this for years. The Virtual Console is as good as dead and the classic game offering on NSO less then satisfactory, with no plans of Nintendo doing anything about it.
AC: Odyssey. 80 Hours in. About 75% of main story done. Likewise for the side quests and the visited regions. It's a grind, but a good grind. Now I actively look for trouble in order to get mercenaries on my tail. So much fun to ambush them.
@Whalehome I'm up to 40 hours now and I did a major side quest that took me almost 2 hours complete. Also killed a Kosmos cultist, a mythical beast and a couple of mercs that were on my tail. Awesome It took me 200 hours to finish Origins with all DLC. I'm gonna easily reach 300 hours with Odyssey + DLC.
@Yorumi
Well, I got the SF30 Pro+. Ergonomically it's a super comfy controller! More so than the Switch Pro controller. But the d-pad is just as "bad" as on the SF30. I created a return for this controller and I ordered the M30
Edit: YES! This d-pad is perfect! Now I wish we could have the SF30 Pro+ ergonomic feel with the M30 d-pad...
@Yorumi Thanks for your answer. I've ordered the SN30 Pro+ on Amazon yesterday. First thing I'll do is to test the d-pad. If it feels the same as on the SN30, then I'll send it back and order the M30 instead.
AC: Odyssey + DLC. So...that's gonna take a while. AC: Origins + DLC took me almost 200 hours to finish. These games are so relaxing.
On the side I'll be playing some Mario Maker 2. Every time you start this game there is new content. I love how prolific and creative the community is with new levels.
Is there an option to scold EA for killing good studios and franchises with their atrocious business model? No, I'm not interested in ANYTHING EA has to offer, ever again!
Share prices rise! Yeah...Until Nintendo announces that it has sold a couple of thousand units less than the predicted XX MILLION and investors freak out again.
@SenseiDje Agreed. We need the "Nintendo seal of quality" back. Every game that gets this seal deserves a normal place in the eShop and the ones that don't, get a section of their own. I don't think calling that section "Shovelware" would be politically correct, but it is what it is.
I think it's a bit weird that publishers ask fans to ask consumers if they want a remake. Even when a lot of people do, I doubt that all of them express their wish. So are publishers going to base their decision on the a very focal minority?
@antdickens
Who says I'm not interested? I more than half of the games on this list. Most of them bought during sales too. I just don't like these kinds or articles. Is it you who decides which post is useful or not? I'm not breaking any site/forum rules here, so I can give my opinion whether you like it or not.
Or until the next sale... or the one after that, and the next one etc etc. Seriously, these articles...
If you are in a hurry to play one of these games, then by all means, jump on it, but then again, you probably already have. I bet that most of us have back lists until next year at the least. Waiting for a next sale even nets you the chance that prices have gone down even further. So enough with these panicky reminders for sales. These kinds articles are just fillers for a slow news weeks.
It's the reason why I bought the Gamecube. The year 2003 was an exceptionally rough one for me and this game pulled me through it. There are so many awesome games on this console but Wind Waker is my absolute favorite.

Re: Nintendo Wants To Focus On New "Experiences" For Switch, But Is Open To More Remakes
A remake of Wave Race, with the tracks of 64 and Blue Storm combined and new ones released through DLC... yes please!
Also, ports of Zelda WW and TP HD and Super Mario 3D World.

For now. I suggest you start spamming Sega on Twitter.
Re: Video: Here's What Alien: Isolation Looks Like On Nintendo Switch
I've played the PC version. This game isn't very taxing on the GPU, but I must admit that it looks really good on Switch.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey. 32 Hours in and about 25% through the main quest. So much to do and see in this game. It truly is amazing.

Does anyone have this controller? I wonder how the d-pad feels. I had the SF30 but I sold it. The d-pad felt too stiff and clicky.
