blockfight

This weekend I'll be playing on my new favourite handheld: PS Portal 😄.
Death Stranding is on my playlist there along with a few rounds of Shotgun King.

On Switch, still working my way through Mario Galaxy. Love it

Played Planet of Lana on Gamepass earlier in the year. Great game, real Limbo and Inside vibes. Highly recommend.

Will play someday. But not for awhile. The backlog has increased lately.

@DennisReynolds Agreed. Insomniac are a top tier developer.

@Zuljaras Spiderman 2 is no doubt a great game but I think most outlets this year will be torn between TOTK and Baldur's Gate 3. I haven't played BG3 yet but hope to before end of year. Can see Spidey 2 winning some awards but not GOTY awards.

The Swicth version of EA FC is very poor. And going by the subreddit for the game in general, people aren't happy with this years version. Buggy as hell and poor AI. Thankfully I went physical and can trade in to get some money back.
First time I bought a "FIFA" game in about 5 years, not impressed.

Bought the Zelda OLED Switch a few months back. Sold my Day One OG Switch to a friend, was still in great condition. This Switch will do me for a good few years.

Own all 3 platforms but decided to get it on Switch. Portability was the deciding factor.

FC 24. Man am I rusty at this game. Lots of practice required before I take on people online.

I use to buy football games every year. This will be my first in 5 years. Looking forward to giving it a go.

This might be the first fifa game I pick up since the first one they released on Switch. I own Series S and PS5 but having this portable would lean me towards getting it on Switch. Not bothered about 30 v 60 fps.

FPS doesn't bother me. MGS1 is in my top 5 favourite games of all time but I never played the sequels. Will definitely pick this collection up on Switch.

My local store in Ireland is offering 3 Pin Set. No pictures of what it looks like but it's something.

Great game. Terrible price. Already played it so not bothered about picking it up again, even if it was €10.

It needs more than one game. I think we'll see at least 3D Mario, Metroid 4 and maybe a new IP all within the first 3 months of launch, Mario being a day-one title. Then all the 3rd party support to back it up.

Prefer the First4Figures ones. Need to add to my collection.

My guess is yes, eventually, but not by much.

Personally I don't like the look of it. Not for me. And definitely not at that price.

@Dragonite89 who hurt you?!

@Ooyah Thats how they got their name: Hyrule-E-In.

@epicgamner Both games are amazing. I would still give TOTK the nod for GOTY but man Hi Fi Rush is definitely a close 2nd. Loved it the whole way through.

@solarwolf07 because a lot of people enjoy playing those kinda games. Including myself. Let people play what they want to play. Hate this kinda judgement of peoples gaming choices.

Looks nice but I wish we had F1 23 on Switch. Would be nice to have it portable. At least I can get my F1 fix on Xcloud.

If it runs well I'll invest.

Day one purchase if it gets promising reviews for Switch. I have access to some FIFA games on Gamepass but would much prefer to have them on Switch.

@Sisilly_G I decided 50 hours or so was long enough to play the game without it so I looked up where to get it. Turns out I had been right beside that area just a few hours before (as in I could have walked to it in about 20 seconds) and didn't go over to see what was there. Very easy to miss things in this game.

I'm over 60 hours in and barely build anything. But that might change now as I have only recently unlocked the last ability Link gets which will help with that.

@Everythingnotsaved same. I'm only about 50 hours in and want to discover as much as I can on my own first. I might open this book in a year or two.....maybe.

MGS1 is definitely in my top 5 favourite games ever. Never got around to playing the others in the series so I'll be picking this up for sure.

50 hours in. Getting distracted by anything and everything. It's brilliant. Still on the fence about if I think it's better than BOTW or not. They're both amazing in different ways.

After listening to the Kinda Funny Gamescast podcast this week, this game is on my radar. They all loved it and liked the twists on game mechanics (using foam to build upwards to create defences or better attacking positions) and the cool mode where you have to take out the "VIP" of the opposing team.
I already own splatoon but this looks very good also. Will keep an eye out for reviews.

40 hours into TOTK. And I feel I've nothing done. Long way to go yet.

NBA for €7.50 is decent but that download size, yikes!

@Cikajovazmaj they dropped the price of the first game so quick people assumed the same would happen with this one and held off on buying it. Thats the main reason I didnt buy it. Loved the first game and will definitely get this one at some point.

@smithyo Same. Tried it awhile back on Gamepass I think. Just couldn't get into it. Not for me.

@Octane Are we not allowed have dairy now? It's hard to keep track of what I need to be outraged at these days.

@invictus4000 Yes, but I'm more than happy driving around on a plank of wood with a load of fans stuck to it rather than anything that's actually practical. I'm not getting too hung up on designing something cool and the game doesn't care if I do or not.

These guys really like their Zelda games.

Given that I rarely buy games on day one anymore this doesn't really affect me. Games get released buggy more often than not so I'd rather wait awhile and pay less for a better version of the game.

I've no nostalgia for the older games since I never played them, so not interested in them amiibo. I bought the 4 Champions from BOTW amiibo but once I seen the First 4 Figures statues I knew thats the way I was gonna go for Zelda statues. More expensive but look so much cooler.

I will be playing this game for years. And years. And years. No panic. Just going to enjoy it.

TotK is all I'll need for the rest of the year.

Switch is by a long way my favourite console I've ever owned. And I've been gaming since the late 80's. Even if a new Nintendo console got released tomorrow I can see myself using the Switch for a long time to come yet.

Think I'll just stick to Mario Kart.

I've the collectors edition ordered and collected my Zelda Console on Friday. I'm all in on this game.

"It was a spicey Alex time".

HAHAHAHAHA

@LastFootnote Age of Calamity is brilliant. Completely different game but has an enjoyable story and fun set-pieces. If you're looking for more story set in that universe you'll love it.

@MikeJones this is me with all games right now. I'm afraid to start anything on any platform because I know I'll abandon it on May 12th. Sticking to mostly online multiplayer stuff lately.

@Baler depends on what the player base is like in Splatoon 2. I haven't played it since I got 3 but gameplay wise they are very similar experiences.

Will probably avoid. I've already seen too much. Roll on next month.
