Played this on the ps4 when it was free with ps plus.I d/l it expecting it to be deleted after 5 mins but...this review..spot on!Simple but most addictive game i have played.
I'm probably in the minority but this series of games is the only one in which I absolutely love the gameplay but absolutely hate all the characters including Bayonetta herself.They are all so annoying.lol
Mario And Rabbids Kingdom Battle is the reason I bought a Switch in the first place and it didant dissapoint!I have yet to find a game I like better. Super Mario Odyssey and um..Piczle Lines seem to be my most played games..
I agree with a lot of these comments.The game is fun and looks great but it's too easy and like @DuskformLycanroc says,the AI buddies seem to play the game for you,I just felt like I was along for the ride. I was excited for this game and it was going to be a day one buy from me but after playing the demo..I may wait for a sale.
I already have Radiant Historia on the way which I'm hyped about after loving the demo! I also really want Owlboy,Fe and Bayonetta 1 and 2 but don't know when I'll get the time to play them all..
@Jumpman I know exactly what you mean and can understand that. But seriously I think more people have enjoyed it more than disliked the game and sure I enjoyed it to begin with but the fact it is so open with no clear objective and the fact you have to work things out for yourself?I dunno,I love open world games but for Zelda I was expecting a bit more hand holding lol.I have spent forty hours on it but the last time I played it was..last year.. Of course you may love it...but I'm right there with you on your Metal Gear Solid feelings too!
@Jumpman oh definitely not,I've played and complete A Link Between Worlds,Ocarina Of Time,Twighlight Princess and Phantom Hourglass..there are a few more I think but can't remember which. I do like Breath Of The Wild but I prefer the more focused gameplay of the others.
I'm finishing up Danganronpa Another Episode and playing the brilliant Shadow Of The Collossus on the Ps4. I've also just started playing Zelda Majoras Mask on the 3ds,it's my first time with the game but to be honest,I'm already enjoying it more than Breath Of The Wild..
@Anti-Matter I've never understood this whole auto play rubbish...seriously,what is the point?totally pointless!May as well just watch the game on you tube or something.
I never played the original so this is all new to me.I'm playing the demo and absolutely loving it!Great story,Artwork,fantastic battle system,likable characters and even decent voice acting. I hardly use my 3ds but have this game preorderd...I would say I'm looking forward to it but the way it's going the demo seems to be so big I'm wondering if they put the whole game in it...seven hours in!
I'm stuck at the end of I Am Setsuna on the Switch so looks like I will be doing bit of level grinding on that and I'm also hooked on the demo for Radiant Historia on the 3ds.
I had an email last week to let me know my 900 points are expiring next week...since joining I have claimed a free theme for the 3ds that's it.I shouldn't moan but...it sucks.
Damn I used to love Danger mouse back in the day and admit I got a bit excited seeing he has his own game appearing on the Switch...but uh..yeah that looks pretty bad..looks like a really terrible version of Subway Surfers.Shame.
So much time and dedication have obviously gone into creating these costumes,it's quite impressive. Mipha is by far my favourite followed closely by Skull kid..which reminds me,I have yet to try Majoras Mask which I have had sealed and unplayed for about a year.
Activity Log is the only one I'm interested in.The 3ds version is perfect and am surprised the Switch wasn't already released with one. Absolutely no interest in Facebook or Twitter and Netflix I have access to on my kindle and Ps4.
May look cheap but I bought this on the Ps4 and its a blast!Finished it ages ago but had so much fun with it.If you like the Hitman Go or Lara Croft Go games it is kind of like that but with lots of blood,Gore and girly screams
I'm so looking forward to this one!Was going to buy it on the PS4 but it belongs on a Nintendo Switch (like every other game) so the Switch it is....please don't be rubbish..
I held off on buying the game on ps4 too...but then was given to me for my birthday a few weeks ago lol. It's such an amazing and fun game,absolutely loving it!
Ahh I used to love the Game and Watches..my very first was Fire where you had to bounce the little guys jumping out a burning building into the ambulance lol,I also had that Octopus,Donkey Kong Junior,Zelda,Mario brothers a few others but my favourite was my brothers...Snoopy Tennis...which I stupidly let my mate have a go on the way home from school..who went on to drop it on the pavement and broke it.Wow I seriously wish I kept all mine now instead of selling them for a pathetic price.
@Shiryu it's nice to know I'm not the only one without a smart phone!I have an old Nokia phone that I bought for a tenner 5 years ago and despite me dropping it more times than I can count it still works perfectly.You can talk and text on it but that's about it and I'm fine with that.I have had smart phones in the past but honestly it was just one hassle after another full of apps I don't even use. It's good Nintendo are trying for the mobile market so long as they don't try too hard.Gaming for me will always be with consoles.
Having just bought a load of games on the psn deals and been given a few for my birthday yesterday I hardly need any new ones but that I Am Setsuna is tempting me...but should I buy it on Ps4 for the trophies or Switch for portability?
Ps @ThomasBW84 Your effort on that list is very much appreciated!
A week off next week with my birthday on Wednesday so I'm going to be trying to finish off and platinum Lego Undercover on Ps4 and Invisible Hours Psvr because hopefully I'll get more games...(probably socks though) I'll also be playing the obvious Mario Odyssey on Switch plus spending more time on Horizon Zero Dawn The Frozen Wilds
Whoever comes up with these release dates for games?The planning is terrible. Like nearly everyone who has a switch I bought Mario day one but am very interested in this one and although my backlog is ridiculous I may pick this up in the next few days to support them.
Being a postie myself I was lucky enough to take my copy of Mario off my co-worker at work and get to play it as soon as I got home. Yeah great game but I'm not gonna abandon my other games so also been playing Witcher 3 and Lego City Undercover too.
I played the demo and really enjoyed it.If it wasn't for the fact my backlog is big enough already and there are even better games coming out I would of already bought it..
I'm right near the end of the game although I still have a few challenges left and two secret areas to find.Such an amazing game,it was worth buying the Switch for without a doubt!
@SouthpawGrammar To be honest I never even knew co-op could be done solo either!Seems like I have more content left than previously thought
Shame it can't be played with an online player too though.
@Toads-Friend Hey thanks for the birthday wishes but my birthday isant until late November and unfortunately I'll be 44 not 30 but I think you meant to reply to @Anti-Matter ?lol
Like others have said,digital being more expensive than retail is ridiculous and is just not on.But I'm not going to whine about it.. I'm torn on whether I want the physical or digital..I usually go physical as the carts are nice to have but I'm a lazy git and really can't be bothered to keep changing the Carts.
I'm not usually one to buy season passes but being as I bought my Switch for this amazing game,I picked the pass up at the same time. @dystome Very good question,as I have only found two secret areas so far and as much I love the game,it's getting tedious looking for the rest.
Like a lot of people here I really don't see the problem of Nintendo having "mature" rated games.The bigger Nintendo's gaming audience is the better surely? I can see @Anti-Matter worries and concerns as I have always thought of Nintendo as a family friendly company that makes games just for fun..that's partly the reason when ever I buy a Nintendo Console,it's to sit alongside my Ps4,Ps3 or Xbox 360 as a change of pace. Opening the doors to Mature content may change Nintendo of its family friendly stamp but only if it starts getting hundreds of adult games released for it like the other consoles..which to be honest I can't see happening. And even so...what difference does it make?You don't like the games,don't buy them.
I've only won one splatfest since owning the game..and only been in one splatfest too I would of chosen Vampire myself too but been busy playing other games.I really need to get back into this game.I'm still only level 8.
Oh I love the WAYP on Push Square so I guess now I can just repeat myself on this site too I'll definitely be playing Mario And Rabbids Kingdom Battle as I am right at the end.Also Golf Story and Pickzel Lines dx will get a look in as I am addicted to both. Some Psvr over on Ps4 and I recently d/l Lego City Undercover on that system too so will be having fun on that one
Hmmm don't think buying a special or collectors edition of a game franchise I have never played before is wise..especially at a ridiculous price like that.
I have waaay too many games to play as it is so as much as I'd like too,I'll have to hold off buying anything this week...damn,just clicked and bought Yono by accident..ah well
Strange how these kind of games on the ps4 im not too interested in unless they turn up on PS Plus IGC but since buying my Switch id buy over half if i had the time and money!
Best.Game.Ever!..at least until I found something I enjoyed more. Seriously though,I'd love a newer version of this.I'd even pay the usual over the top price that Switch games seem to have these days.
I only saw the trailer for this recently and it definitely caught my interest.Like @shani said 6 out of 10 doesant really scare me off too much but then I saw @silentium comment mentioning the price and thought "What the!?ya having a laugh!"So...a no buy from me.
