It was my week off this week but instead of catching up on backlog I ended up being too sick to play anything.figures.
Now I have 2 weeks sick leave so if I'm feeling up to it I want to finish Luigi Mansion 3 as I only have 3 more floors to go..I think.Loved every minute of it.
Also will hopefully put a lot more effort into Fire Emblem Three Houses.
I love Zelda games but to be honest I think I'll have more fun and enjoyment playing this than I do with Zelda Breath Of The Wild (which I still haven't finished despite buying at launch..)
I'm off for a week from now so lots of time to catch up on gaming...starting with Days Gone which is an absolute blast!Thought I was near the end but turns out I just reached the half way point! Also will be hunting ghosts with Luigi on Switch which I am loving..
Looking forward to this as I never had a Wii U. Shame about the censorship but as long as it doesant affect the gameplay then I'll still be buying this.
Since being given it for my birthday back in November I can't stop playing Days Gone.Ace game I really need to get back to Dragon Quest Builders 2 which I'm about 90 hours into. As for Switch, Luigi Mansion 3 and Asphalt 9 will be grabbing my attention this weekend.
Unfortunately I'm at the end of my week off now so I'm going to make the most of the gaming time I have left before the heavy run up to Christmas in which I doubt I'll have much time to game at all. It was my birthday yesterday and one of the games I received was Luigi's Mansion 3 which I will no doubt be playing over the weekend alongside Zanki Zero on Ps4 plus some more Three Houses.
I confess I bought the Special Edition box for the Ps4 version.Gorgeous box artwork and lots of little goodies inside that I'm really happy I put the extra money down. Been playing these games since Atelia Iris and I've loved every one,don't see why this should be any different. Great review,great score.
I finished Links Awakening a few days so I tried to get back into my 70 plus hour game file of Octopath Traveller but all I seem to be doing now is grinding..lots and lots...So I put that aside again and now I'm about to start Fire Emblem Three Houses. I will also grab the Luigi theme in Tetris and get some Asphalt 9 done. On the ps4 it will be Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Trails Of Cold Steel 2.
Great theme,will definitely be playing to get this one too..in fact sadly I think the only time I play this game is when there is a new theme to grab..
I never thought I would say this but Asphalt Legends 9 will be my most played game this weekend...in fact it's been played more than my other games just recently since I downloaded it and I don't even usually bother with free to play games but this is awesome!
I'm also nearing the end of Zelda Links Awakening as well as Assassins Creed Odyssey on Ps4..something I never thought would happen but after 200 hours of pure gaming bliss I can finally concentrate on smaller games..
@SterlingEyes Both games are pretty overwhelming to be honest.I felt the same way with Skyrim back on the Xbox 360.You start the main quest,get sidetracked by a sidemission,go off to do that and then get side tracked by ANOTHER side mission.I ended up playing 104 hours on it.The Witcher I think is similar but if you just stick to the main quests you should be ok.Although some side missions actually make a difference in the main one overall so it's worth seeking them out.
Assassins Creed Odyssey..nearly 200 hours and counting.I LOVE this game but seriously does it ever end?There are other games I want to play.lol Zelda Links Awakening..absolutely loving this game still.It helps I never played the original version but I got to say I prefer Zelda games like these than the open world type. May have time to play something else,possibly some Octopath Traveller which I haven't touched since Awakening.. Enjoy your weekend all.
I've never even heard of this but it looks pretty great!So many games to play already plus some on pre-order I really shouldn't but..I think I'll be buying this too.
Excellent review and pleased to see it got a really good score. I've had my eye on this for a while despite not playing the original game.Do you need to play the first game before this one or is it entirely standalone? Shame about the loading times but that seems to be the norm for a lot of Switch games unfortunately.
The amount of games releasing is absolutely ridiculous and overwhelming.It wouldn't be so bad if I didant want many of them!My backlog is already huge and that's not even including my PS4 backlog.
Games I will definitely be buying or putting on my birthday/Christmas list are..
LM3
Little Town Hero
A Hat On Time
Super Monkey Ball
I also have The Alliance Alive on pre-order plus preorders on Ps4 games Trails Of Cold Steel 3 and Atelia Ryza.
And all this is not to mention the fact I still have games from other months I've wanted such as Three Houses and Astral Chain..
Great review and good to see it got a decent score too as I loved the first game back in the day. I won't be needing to buy the Switch version however as I have this and Darksiders 3 still on my PS plus backlog.
This is good and bad news to me. Good,because I absolutely love their open world games. Bad,because their open world games are so huge I know I won't ever have the time to play them all. That said I am absolutely hyped for Gods And Monsters and I'm really surprised we haven't seen more of it.
On the Switch I'll still be playing Octopath Traveller...the game that never seems to end..or it does and I'm just not good enough to see it. Another game that I'm convinced really has no ending that I'm still playing after 150 hours is Assassins Creed Odyssey.Fantastic game and just started Chapter 8.Not sure how many chapters there are but there is still a fair bit of the map still to explore. Also I'm going to give that Dark Crystal series on Netflix a go later as I'm loving the look of the game that's supposed to be out soon.I loved the film back in the day and It looks like they got the look and feels of the original spot on.
I've never played the original but I have my copy on pre-order and I KNOW I'm going to love it a lot more than Breath Of The Wild and also finish it before that game..Can't Wait!
That amount of hours can't be real.Like others have said it's either more than one user,a hack,left it running but not playing or he has no life. I bought it on day one and have only put its over 55 hours into it.
After having a bad week being ill I have hardly got any gaming done at all but now after promising my moody boss I'll be back to work next week I need to seriously dig in to my gaming catalogue...starting with the Snes library..out of those twenty I have only played Zelda A Link To The Past which I'm sure is the best. I'll also continue my adventure in Octopath which and some Yakuza Zero or Assassins Creed Odyssey on Ps4.
Deadly Premonition 2 was the biggest surprise for me!Absolutely loved the first one back on the Xbox 360 so will definitely be picking up that. Others I'm excited for are: Trials Of Mana, Xenoblade Chronicles, Luigi's Mansion 3, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Little Town Hero and Zelda Links Awakening.. To think I only bought the Switch because of Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle...
To be honest reading this review I was expecting an even lower score than a 7! Personally I'd of given this game at least an 8.I absolutely loved it back in the day and I'm thrilled to be given the chance to replay it.But 'Insane story' as a bad thing?? And most skippable entry?seriously?
I'm also very interested in Bravely Default..especially after loving Octopath Traveller so much.Trouble is I know if I buy it they will announce the game for the Switch..
Links Awakening is an obvious one as I have that on preorder...never played the original so very excited! Untitled Goose Game,Final Fantasy VIII,Ori And The BlindForest are the others I'll be buying Day one..or the same month anyway.. And possibly that AI:The Somnium Files..a game that I hadn't heard of until yesterday..it looks ace! Unbelievable amount of games coming out..just wish I had time to play them.I'm still only half way through playing Assassins Creed Odyssey which I started in April.lol
I'm pretty jealous of all the people playing Astral Chain/Three Houses but I really don't have time to buy or start a new game until I've knocked at least one game off my backlog.
So my gameplan is :
Octopath Traveller,Zelda Breath Of The Wild and Collection Of Mana on the Switch and Assassins Creed Odyssey,Yakuza Zero,Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Man Of Medan on the Ps4
If i wasn't still playing Octopath Traveller and Zelda Breath Of The Wild since launch and if I hadn't of just bought The Mana Collection and also hadn't just preorderd Zelda Links Awakening then yes..I would of bought this Day One..along with Fire Emblem Three Houses..
This weekend will be all about The Mana Collection which arrived early and to be honest I totally forgot I had it on order! I'm determined to get that Tetris 99 Fire Emblem theme too so will be playing a lot of that. Also started Yakuza Zero on the Ps4 so will be seeing what all the fuss is about with the series. Oh yeah and Dragon Quest Builders 2..can't forget about that.
Like I mentioned on the sister site earlier I have always been interested in playing this series of games but due to time,backlog and not really knowing where to start (plus not ever having watched the anime) I never got round to it.Of course now I have seen the new one in action my interest has finally hit a high and I'm bound to try one soon. To be honest Fatal Bullet is the one that I like the look of the most and despite this game receiving a naff review I have seen enough gameplay on YouTube to know I'll most likely enjoy it.
