blockfight

@JokerCK It's included on Gamepass so it's gonna get a big user base from the start from there alone. Plus the free trial has converted plenty from being on the fence to buying it. Like myself. Only €20 too. Great price.

I've only replayed a handful of games ever. Probably less than 5.

Knockout City is the best game I've played in ages. Highly recommend. Haven't played 64 player Bomberman in months. Must jump back in and try it again. I feel it's gonna be much tougher to get Bomber One now with all the extra players playing.

Ah well, missed it. To be honest I'm kinda done with the game. Seems like the dlc is just more of the same.

I've heard the Switch Pro sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel. It also has a fear of stamps.

Gamestop Ireland have had the same pre order promotion up for a few weeks now. I've mine booked. Can't wait for them to deliver it 3 weeks after the game launches.

@presenttense correction, we will all TRY to buy one. No doubt there will be stock issues and scalpers again.

@BaronMunchausen the game is on GamePass for Xbox users and since its crossplay those people at least will always pad out the player base. But this game is reviewing so well and most people are loving it I can see it lasting a long time. €20 is very cheap too for a new game of this quality.

@JR150 this game should be free? The entitlement of some people.

@GrailUK hurry up, there's only a few days left of free play.

Great game. Highly recommend. Hopefully people can look past their EA bias and just see if they enjoy it.

@dew12333 @Paraka And i didnt need one when I purchased the full game.

@ukaskew Exactly this.

Ironically, at $10 this is robbery.

@ATaco yep reddit for sure. And twitter is arguably worse. I think I've only ever blocked one or 2 people ever on any forum and that was because they were just being an idiot rather than me just disagreeing with them.

@johnvboy this is how the Internet works now. You block out the noise you disagree with and surround yourself with noise you do agree with to make you feel like you are always right. It's a shame.

If people don't like it, don't buy it. You might say the practice is crappy, but that's Nintendo's choice. They don't have to give you this feature for free. They own it, if they want to try and make money this way, good for them. As a consumer if you don't like it, don't give them your money.

Getting this for sure. Just not sure what platform.

Gonna try out Knockout City. Seems to be a mix of Splatoon meets Outcasters. And I like both of those games. Plus it's free so why not try it!

Played the base game, loved it, but got stuck on a chapter near the end and never went back to it. Must close this one out. Highly recommend if you loved the world and characters of BOTW.

Looks cool. Hopefully down the line they release some retro liveries. Would love a 1998 or 1999 Jordan car to drive around in.

1: BOTW,
2: AC Odyssey
3: Tekken 3
4: Metal Gear Solid
5: Rocket League

Started playing Red Dead 2 recently and that is looking like it might take 2nd place.

Play this game regularly with my mates on our Games Nights. Great fun!

Got mine on launch day. Still fire it up every so often. One of the coolest things I own for sure.

Pre-ordered from Gamestop. Can't wait for it to arrive in 6 months time.

Mmm, not good. I like Ubisoft games as is. Not looking forward to this change.

"Super Switch" reveal. BOTW2. Crash for Smash. And maybe a new IP to look forward to.

If it gives people more opportunities to play a game that might not have been available to them, I'm all for cloud gaming. More choice is better.

In terms of technology I can see them investing more money in streaming. They aren't going to release a console that will compete in terms of power with the other consoles. They've already experimented with streaming, I can see that being more common in the future as they try to bridge that gap in some form or another.

I haven't seen a funny SNL skit in years. This was terrible.

Choice is better. But we are inching towards a more digital only future. I've no issue with it but I can understand why some would. Its not a deal breaker for me though like it is for some. I planned on getting this release, probably in cartridge form. But I'll download now instead.

Haven't played Switch much lately unless playing multiplayer with mates. Mario Kart, Broforce, Splatoon and Rocket League is usually the playlist.

If they release a new game now they'll just re release it on the next home console. Gimme dlc for 8 and then next gen gimme a whole new game.

Coming to all platforms and has crossplay. This is the way.

I have no idea what most of this article means.

Gamestop Ireland is offering a free Mario Golf water bottle. Actually looks really nice. Pre-ordered it because I was planning on getting it anyways and I got a voucher as a gift from a friend.

Edit: that's the one @1UP_MARIO

Have yet to buy anything on Switch yet this year. And my first purchase will likely be Mario Golf which is a bit away yet,

Someone gave me a GS voucher recently as a present. Better use it quick before they go under and it's worth nothing.

@OorWullie probably not. FIFA organisation is clearly against the whole thing and EA probably wouldnt risk upsetting FIFA by going for gaming rights. Probably would have been more likely that Konami swooped in and got the rights. Would be a big challenger to the FIFA games since it would have all the big name stars except for a small few few (Mbappe, Neymar etc)

Nice concept. Doesn't look too entertaining though.

Xbox is doing their best to bring the service to every other screen that people already have anyways. They don't need to bring it to Switch.

Dammit. Now I gotta go buyin stuff again.

Need to finish the main story. Got stuck in Chapter 6 final battle and dropped off it. Loved what I played of it.

Meh, I think I'll pass.

Why is Pharrell William's old band explaining this to us?

Despite not owning a playstation since the PS1, the position of those buttons has been beaten into me. Only controller I sometimes struggle with is Nintendo since I've only owned one since the Switch. I've been an Xbox boy since the original and lately also playing on Stadia which thankfully has the same button layout as Xbox.

@dres the cool thing to do right now is bad mouth stadia. Mostly this is by fanboys/fangirls who pledge their undying devotion to only one platform and every other platform is trash as a result. I have a Switch, I play games on Stadia, I've owned Xbox and PlayStation consoles in the past. I just enjoy gaming. Others should do the same and leave the hate behind. But this is the Internet so that'll never happen.

@CodyMKW you need to pay for that option on Switch too.

@Zorox88 it's free though. You don't need to buy it again. Just download it.

@ilh by the looks of it it's not in the cloud. You download the game.
