@Tasuki Thee update is cool but they need to address much of the stuff. I do not care much for the Warlock BUT the native support on the Steam Deck is amazing! I had trouble with the battle net version on the deck.

I wish they could make the loot filter feature to make items on the ground that are hidden to not be pick-able

This weekend I will play Reanimal. I have played and beaten Little Nightmares 1 and 2 (still have to play 3). It looks really good on the PS5.

After the amazing reveal of Belmont's Curse I will play Dracula's Curse! I also hope that we can see Hector in Belmont's Curse as he should be alive in that time period!

And I will be playing Diablo 2 Reign of the Warlock on the Steam Deck. It plays like a dream NOW that it is natively supported on the Deck! No character slot limit so I can finally start the Holy Grail challenge for myself!

Have a wonderful (AND filled with Love!) gaming weekend everyone!!!

@TYRANACLES Symphony of the Night is the one that is near perfection. Yes it is unbalanced, but after all it was 1997.

I LOVE almost all Castlevania games with some exclusions like Judgement (the Wii fighting one), Grimoire of Souls (iOS one), Kid Dracula (too parodical for me).

My favorite ones are the metroidvania style CV games BUT last year I beat MOST the classic games and now I love them too!

Ritual of thee Night was not that great. At first it looked and played amazing but after the first half it felt so rushed in terms of castle areas. I wish they cooked it some more. Looking forward to Bloodstained The Scarlet Engagement

On the topic of Curse of Darkness, I also completed (for the first time) it last year + Lament of Innocence. I loved it as well!

I hope we can see Hector in Belmont's Curse as he should be alive there!

@AussieMcBucket I do not thing that better resumes even exist!

@Yalloo Haha, If I had the money I would buy a Castle for my Castlevania collection and start collecting sculptures in 1:1 scale

I am sorry but I have to put my CV collection here as well! I am so proud of it

This will go nicely with my current Castlevania collection!

Finally! A new Castlevania game!

Cool update but I did not see the character slot limit removed on consoles. There is no reason to have it as it is unnecessary.

I ordered it on PS5 for obvious reasons

After the fantastic Season 2 of Fallout I got the urge to start Fallout New Vegas. This time on the Steam Deck! It plays like a dream!

I am near the end of Assassin's Creed Origins so I am continuing that. Just want to fully upgrade Bayek!

And finally got my hands on NeoGeo Collection Vol.9 JUST for Magician Lord! I LOVE that game!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

"(and no, we've no idea if they're Game-Key Cards or not)"

Is this even a question anymore? OFC they are key-cards! It is MS we are talking about! They HATE for us to own things!

IF I had Labo it would be in the trash where it belongs

That was freaking amazing ... it hit right in the feels in a horrifically good way!

Amazing details!
I am thinking about doing that to my Switch dock but with polymer clay like I did with my Nintendo 64.

But I do not know what is the most influential Switch game to me

@charliecarrot Oh I am, playing it for a second time from the modern ones I have beaten only Odyssey and Origins.

Valhalla did not click with me, maybe I will try it again. And Shadows I will not touch since they do not want to give us a proper physical edition on any platform.

@Chlocean Unfortunately, I can't play Village in VR as I have problem with DirectX 12 games It is too choppy and I do not know how to make it work, it is a mod after all. RE2R, RE3R and RE7 play beautifully in VR

I am juggling between Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and Assassin's Creed Origins, but this weekend I will play Origins, amazing game!

On the side I will play Machinarium which is a cute hand drawn point and click adventure game

AND I will be playing some Resident Evil 7 on the Meta Quest 3!

Happy gaming everyone!

Just give me a physical edition and it is day 1!

I LOVE Darkwing Duck!

After beating Assassins Creed Unity I am now on Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Still in Havana so pretty early in the game

I finished making the controls for Clive Barker's Undying for the Steam Deck. That is one of the best games ever created! Amazing atmosphere!

And why not some Ninja Turtles

Happy gaming everyone!!!

The worst part is that those worthless imbeciles hold the licence of the Might & Magic franchise.

And the latest titles took only a "Great deal of Error"

Hell yeah! It was my first time beating the original RE1 I LOVE that version! I played it without the DS exclusive stuff like the FPS mode etc. (Classic Mode)

To be honest I am really sad we did not get Resident Evil 2 and 3 Nemesis get the SAME treatment on the DS

Continuing with Assassin's Creed Unity as I am committed to finish the story. I am really enjoying the game. Currently on Sequence 7. Maybe next I will play Black Flag

On the side I will play some Guilty Gear and Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. And for nostalgia with really awkward controls WarCraft 2. There is something weird and satisfying in playing RTS games on consoles like WarCraft 2 and StarCraft 64!

Have awesome gaming weekend everyone!

@MamaSymphonia Zelda is magic for sure. But Mario is like more of a matter in mood and nostalgia

@MamaSymphonia The weird thing is that Mario, Kirby and DK are not my thing. And the new Metroid is cool but still not enough.

The kid friendly Nintendo lineup is just not my thing.

While, I admit, that Cyberpunk 2077 almost made me pull the trigger I was like 90% in I will wait a little longer and maybe some bangers will come to the Switch 2 in physical form

That is nice and all but I am yet to see a game that will make me buy the Switch 2.

The launch and post-launch lineup is extremely disappointing, especially compared to the Switch 1.

And the game-key card situation is not helping at all.

Amazing games! Especially Darkwing Duck! I have the original NES cartridge on route to me

I hope at least they help the people who are being laid off to find new jobs.

When my whole department was being laid off in my last job they hired a job seeking company to help us find a new job. It was about 2 weeks later that I found my current job. It has been almost 9 years now! Maybe back then they cared.

@axelhander I am sorry but I can't take this seriously.

Stating that editing by hand and talent is the same in terms of skill as editing with AI prompts ...

AI =/= skill

Truly dark times comes to the entertainment industry with this kind of thinking.

At least I hope that this will make more people appreciate human made things.

AI should be used to automate tasks that have NOTHING to do with the creative things. Now that is a useful tool.

@Bass_X0 It is not smart to compare something creative with something that everyone (almost) can do. I though we are talking about creative things and generative AI. Not things we ALL can do. This is like saying we do not need to learn math as we have calculators ...

@axelhander No, it is not in the editing ... that is like saying autotuned singers are on the same levels as natural born talents
Take away my tablet and I can still draw something with a simple pen, chalk or any material. Take away the AI tool from someone and if they can't draw they are just worthless.

@PharoneTheGnome By that logic a pen is a tool, as is the digital pen I have on my iPad. Those are used to create digital art and traditional art.

Are you telling me that AI is to be held in the same regard when creating paintings? The person that writes the prompts is on the same skill level as the people who use the other 2 tools?

My only issue is people calling themselves artists when they just write prompts

Or writers when they write couple of prompts and the AI spits many walls of text.

I think the majority of people forget what creativity actually IS.

After finishing Castlevania Lords of Shadow I am moving to Casltevania LoS Mirror of Fate HD. I really love this game!

This holiday I went to Paris and because of that I have this desire to play Assassin's Creed Unity

And last I will try out Ninja Gaiden Ragebound

Happy gaming everyone!!!

@gojiguy Yes we are in the minority

And yes, gaming is a luxury. Especially console gaming because on PC you have many discounts and "Jack Sparrow" releases

I am also struggling to make myself wanting to buy a Switch 2. The only game right now that is worth it to ME is Cyberpunk 2077 as it is the whole package physically.

Still it is not enough for now. I hope that 2026 get some amazing games physically on the Switch 2!

@Aneira You are not the only one

Even after all the hate towards them I have a TON of LRG releases and I will continue to buy from the as along as they provide me with games I want.

I would love those games on the Switch but only if they are all on the cartridge. I already have them on the Steam Deck so I do not need another digital version

I am on the fence on getting this. I LOVE the original Shovel Knight but this one does not look that appealing to me

I love seeing Leon on the cover but the EU one is just so unique.

We need more covers like that the other ones are too generic.

@Res462 And I accidentally stole a horse and had to pay a fine because of the controls

Still the environments and the attention to detail are really impressive.

@wazlon I love both Lords of Shadow and Mirror of Fate (the in-between game of LoS and LoS2).

Lords of Shadow 2 is the one that is fun BUT it has LOTS of flaws.

The first one is amazing. And the Patrick Steward as a narrator is icing on the cake

To start the year I am playing Castlevania Lords of Shadow on the Steam Deck (because the Xbox is just trash for taking screenshots).

I am on Chapter 2 in Red Dead Redemption 2 and it is a good game but the controls are just terrible.

And I am continuing with Quake on the Switch as I am on Act/Chapter 3 of the main game

Happy gaming everyone!!!

Happy New Year!

I hope it is a good one!

AI should be used only for repetitive tasks that have nothing to do with creativity.

@DennyCrane Exactly!

“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”

@DennyCrane Older games have so much appeal to me. Maybe it is nostalgia but the industry is going in the wrong direction.

Just before the big vacation I will treat myself with Quake, Soul Reaver 1 and Octopath Traveler 0.

Have a nice gaming weekend and we will probably "see" each other in 2026. Happy holidays people!!!

I think they should pass a law or something that forces publishers to disclose the build version that is printed on the physical media so the buyer is aware before any purchase.

And if there is a re-print it will help tracking the physical media with the better build. It is terrible to shop blindly in search of re-prints.

Publishers get off too easy these days.
