I watched about an hour of the game being played by some guys on YouTube for their scary game marathon for October, and it is definitely a game to recommend. It plays like a point and click adventure, but one that is logical and the puzzles are designed for you to figure them out fairly easily, or at least they are for the first hour. Absolutely nails the atmosphere.
They finally have the hardware available in stores reliably in my area. At this point they will be relying on their software to sell their console, and that is looking pretty dang positive.

@sillygostly Bethesda got a lot of complaints of the cover for the other versions of the game from long time fans. Xbox One and PS4 fans WISH they got this cover standard.
@ANeonChicken I grew up in Canada and honestly the only time I saw it there was when my grandparents would bring several bottles of the soda with them when they would visit. It was a rather rural part of Canada, but still. I always figured it was just a US thing, honestly.
@ANeonChicken My grandfather lives in Cleveland and always had bottles of the soda in his fridge when I was a kid. I currently live in Pennsylvania and I've never seen it around here. It's possible it's just an Ohio thing.
I bought the game and have played it some, but I don't expect to finish it. I mostly bought the game to support the Devs and hopefully encourage them to release SteamWorld Heist 2
Right now we are seeing some semi-rushed results from teams that aren't that used to the Switch hardware. NBA 2k18 was on a hard deadline, and they chose to release it at the same time (in digital form) instead of pushing it back. We are seeing a lot of releases try and capitalize on the excitement the device is inspiring, even if the developers in question didn't really expect the level of interest from consumers.
I think next year will see games being released from third parties in more stable forms than we are seeing right now.
I expect release dates for Skyrim and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, MAYBE surprise announcement for Fallout 4 and Stardew Valley being available right after. Smash Bros might be announced, but I wouldn't bet on it.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE welcome to gaming 2017. I can't tell you how many times I would check the games store on the Xbox One and just ve presented with a dozen new ports from last generation.
I loved these games, (well, the first one, anyways) but I'm not entirely sure how much I want to get this. I will see what is available for shooters by then.
It kinda feels like Monster Hunter XX for the Switch is intended to milk the Japanese audience one last bit while their make Monster Hunter World. That's probably why they didn't intend it to come to the West.

Re: Reggie on Backing Up Your Saves with the Switch
@shadow-wolf He is comparing the Switch to tje Xbox One and PS4. Those consoles automatically backup your saves to the cloud constantly.
Id be happy with manual save backup to the cloud, or a once a week automation.
Re: Taiwanese Horror Title Detention Aims To Scare You Witless On Switch
@BionicDodo nah, strange internet connection issues. Maybe the game is haunted.

Re: Review: This Is The Police (Switch)
Darn, the fact that the events are pre-determined severely reduces the appeal for this game.
Re: Reggie on GameCube Controller Support on the Switch
Chances are, it was being worked on for a future update and wasn't intended to be working on this console update.
Re: Feature: Five Things We Expect from the Animal Crossing Mobile Direct
@thesilverbrick I dunno, I found that their Fire Emblem mobile game is a great way to solve insomnia.
Re: Rumour: LEGO Dimensions Has Apparently Been Killed Off
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Mario Party. Seriously?

Re: RiME Takes Up More Space On Switch Than On Xbox One And PlayStation 4
They likely uncompressed some of the music or textures to allow better performance.
Re: Massive Nintendo Switch System Update - Version 4.0.0 - Adds Video Capture and More
@DanElectrode Unfortunately, a little stability will be lost in this patch, but it will return in a future patch.
Re: Reminder: Don't Forget This Week's Early Switch eShop Releases
I was seriously considering Rogue Trooper Redux until Doom was announced. Now... I dunno.
Re: The Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Ultra Challenge Pack DLC is Now Live
I enjoyed the game so far, but I feel like I'm losing interest in it. The enemies in the third world feel really cheap and I doubt ill continue on.
Re: Rainway Streaming App Continues to Push the Switch Version, Teasing Cuphead Footage
This would be neat... If I didn't already have too many games to play on my Switch now with a ton more on the way.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - The Triumphant(?) Return
Stardew Valley. Of course, my son will ask me to put in Snake Pass like he always does.
Re: Forever Entertainment is 'Amazed' at Progress of Hollow on Nintendo Switch
@LiberatedAnimal Entirely different game engines, and Doom has a lot more enemies onscreen at once, and much larger environments.
Re: Here Are the Key Lessons that Nintendo Learned from the Wii U
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm 6 foot 3 inches and the joycons feel great to me. Don't know what you're complaining about.
Re: Suda51 Has Considered Remaking GameCube Cult Classic Killer7
@Cathousemaster Just the ending?
Re: Rogue Trooper Redux to Arrive on Switch Alongside Other Console Versions
I feel kinda bad for them since Doom was announced.
Re: Random: Drinks Company Hints At Undiscovered Super Mario Easter Egg
@Shadowflash Yeah, not something I would go out of my way to try.

Re: Random: Drinks Company Hints At Undiscovered Super Mario Easter Egg
@Shadowflash They're par with some store brands of soda.

Re: Random: Drinks Company Hints At Undiscovered Super Mario Easter Egg
It's a regional brand. I've seen it in Ohio a lot.
Re: Poll: The Switch eShop is Hot, But Is It Time for an Overhaul of Its User Interface?
@Rika_Yoshitake It's basically a web browser window. Those options would not slow it down at all.
Re: Nintendo's Share Value Jumps Following Report of Switch Manufacturing Being Doubled
@marck13 you went back to a post from about 4 months ago to say that?

Re: SteamWorld Dig 2 Has Had the Biggest Launch in the IP's History
@SLIGEACH_EIRE you know that the real money is in releasing games on the Atari Jaguar.

Re: Bethesda Says DOOM And Wolfenstein 2 Are "The Start" Of A Nintendo Relationship
I'm looking forward to what else could be coming from then. I'll happily buy Fallout 4 again to play it on the go too.
Re: Doom Will Bring Hell to Switch This Holiday Season
I've wanted this... For so long...
Re: Get Ready for a Nintendo Direct on 13th September
I expect release dates for Skyrim and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, MAYBE surprise announcement for Fallout 4 and Stardew Valley being available right after. Smash Bros might be announced, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Re: Target Names the Nintendo Switch as a 'Top Toy' for 2017
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Hey, I don't play with toys. My office filled with Transformers and myself take offense at that notion.
Re: Target Names the Nintendo Switch as a 'Top Toy' for 2017
I can see the retailers now, "scrabbling" to get the Switch available for sale. Not sure how playing a board game will help, however.
Isnt it "scrambling"?
Re: Crime Classic L.A. Noire Is Sleuthing Its Way To Switch This Year
Wow, so it wasn't just a rumor.

Re: Game Boy Color Title 'µCity' Brings Sim City To Your Pocket
If I had this on my Game boy color, I would have wasted hours upon hours on it.
Re: Build Your Switch eShop Hype With This Nindies Summer Sizzle Reel
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Then good thing you aren't forced to buy all games that come out for it.
Re: Stardew Valley is "Coming Along Very Well" for Nintendo Switch
Gimmie gimmmie!!
Re: Rocket League Is Getting Free Nintendo-Themed Battle-Cars At Launch
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Seriously. Their art teams knows whats up.
Re: Stardew Valley Studio Waiting Until It's "Absolutely Certain" Before Announcing Switch Release Date
@SLIGEACH_EIRE depends on the expertise of the developer.
Re: Guide: A Simple Fix for a Game Breaking Bug in Troll and I on Switch
Fast RMX does something similar. When the bug appears, it freezes when you select your vehicle.
Re: Curve Digital Confirms Two Games for the Switch eShop
Both of these look very nice.
Re: Poll: 99 Games and Counting - Are You Pleased With the Switch eShop Library?
It's got holes, but I am pretty impressed in the general quality.
