@Duncanballs Yep Metro clearly decided to hate the game before they even played it. The line where they say they kept reminding themselves of how bad the previous game was before playing this one says it all lol

lol that Metro review

Pre-ordered and ready to go!

PS—Is a ‘learning curve’ really a con? This has been a part of video games since Space Invaders, Pac Man, etc. Dog forbid that one has to practice to get better at the game… Meh…Strange comment…
For me, challenge and learning curves just pull me deeper into the game, especially when it comes to racing / battling games like this. Sorry guy, but it’s a pro!

Was Test Ridin’ both weekends, and loved everything I played. Preordered and excited to play the full game this weekend!

I can’t imagine a situation where this movie turns out to be good, unless they can resurrect Jim Henson… Animated may have been a better choice?

Bug fixes won’t solve the problem of this game’s extremely disappointing performance on Switch 2. I was ready to pick this game up on launch, but the demo quickly squashed those hopes. Will get it eventually, but on PS5… 🫤

Trying to get a friend to play this weekend, looking forward to testing out the paddock functionality. Air Riders is a weird, chaotic game, but I had a whole lot of fun with it, especially City Trial. Every time I thought I was going to put it down for the day, my brain said, “Just one more run!”

This reads like advertising lol

Game looks phenomenal, Evil Empire is a very talented studio! But I gotta go there… Why bother with a physical for Switch 2 four months later when it’s just a game key card? The whole key card fiasco is putting a real damper on this generation…

@Willo567 Woah, you have blown our minds with your insight about how matter works

Fierce difficulty would definitely call me back in. Love the game, but found it a bit underwhelming in the challenge department. So good news!

(where’s that Switch 2 edition with mouse control though…?)

Looking forward to the movie. Enjoyed the first one WAY more than I thought I would! That said, do we meed a Direct? Just upload a trailer and be done with it!

Engine is solid gold, game plays like a dream, despite it going VERY FAST with vehicle combat CHAOS!

I have to work right now; I would rather be playing Kirby Air Riders…

Got a little Air Ride in this morning (woke up too late), and boy is it chaotic! It’s like racing meets Smash Bros. (that announcer!). Can’t wait to play more tonight!

Played through all the ‘Lessons’ so far, and the game feels great. Will be there ready to rock tomorrow morning!

Ocarina of Time Remaster would be awesome, I’d buy that in a heartbeat. Link to the Past is PERFECTION and should be left alone.

Chrono Trigger would look beautiful in the HD-2D treatment. The gameplay is pretty simplistic by today’s standards, though, and I think would benefit from some modernization. I’d love to see it with a FF7Remake-style action/turn-based hybrid combat system.

Received both Samus figures today (though packages unopened still), and they look fantastic! Nice details, and poses look great. Wish the they were a bit larger overall, but still happy. These prices though…

Death Stranding 2: On the Fireworks

Hey @PJOReilly, thanks for the great review free of spoilers. Probably a stupid question, but would you recommend finishing Tears of the Kingdom before playing this? I’m like halfway-ish (took a break for Bananza). Does Inprisonment give anything major away in Tears or require finishing Tears to fully understand, or is it just complimentary and helps to flesh out the backstory? Thanks!

Really uninspired design, super lame.

Missed opportunity for Tofu X Babymetal merch

@Divide_and_Wander There’s an Age of Calamity demo available on the eShop! I would say it’s enough to see if it’s your kind of game.

@Anti-Matter Gotta support Hades II, Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, and Yooka Replaylee then—the only third-party games that are actually on-cart!

Gotta finish Bananza. Really fun game, but had to take a break for a bit, felt like I was going through the motions. Looking forward to jumping in after a break. And then… Will I keep my pre-order of Age of Inprisonment… hmmm…

Looking forward to this one, looks like an old school gem. Glad they chose more modern graphics, though. I appreciate old school gameplay, but PS1-style graphics can be hard to go back to…

I have it preordered, but I may cancel. Not because I don’t want to play it, but because I have bought too many games in the last few months (September was nuts).

I’ve never played a musou game before, except for the Calamity demo on Switch 2, which I enjoyed. Age of Imprisonment looks gorgeous, and like it could be some good, relatively mindless fun for winding down on weekday evenings…

This can only be good news. Bamco and From trying to not f*** this up. Take the time to get it right, people.
And put the full game on the cart!

Fingers crosser they drop in price on Amazon and/or Gamestop. I caved and bought Yunobo at launch for $30, and then ended up getting the remaining TotK Amiibo for only $16 each after they sat on shelves for months. No way these things sell well at $50 each…

Not my favorite Fallout game, but I’d buy a true physical copy of this for Switch 2 real fast.

Yessssssssssssss can’t wait. This game looks extremely amazing and built with the utmost care and a boat-load of childlike wonder.
Bring. It. On!

I absolutely cannot wait for this game! Looks beyond fantastic! Great direct too!

My only gripe is the cost of those Amiibos; $200 for four is going to put them way out of peoples price range, including parents and kids…

Gat dams this game looks so amazing! 🤩

Somehow never played these games; excited to try it out for the first time this Halloween! 👻

I played MOST of the amazing SNES RPGs growing up, with this being the key one that I missed… HD-2D, when?!

Still rockin’ Warios Woods on NSO with my gal. One of the best ‘falling block’ puzzle games ever made!

Now that this game is out, I hope they work on a Switch 2 patch for Arceus.

The premise of Mario & Wario is so totally ridiculous; can’t wait to try it!

Beard Simulator 2: Switch 2 Edition

Loved the demo, but totally forgot this was coming out so soon. I think I’ll be alright..

I sure don’t like game-key cards.

This game is a masterpiece, hope it does indeed come to Switch 2 ⭐️

Demo was very short, and also incredibly easy. The art style is interesting, but I didn’t really enjoy the game.

I’ve really enjoyed Mario Kart World overall, but the open world did not deliver for me, and I am ready for more content already. Sonic Racing Game™️ does not interest me.

Wow this looks really cool! Love the art style, and battles look dynamic and interesting. Excited to see more…

The quality of those videos is pretty impressive, which is… not good for actual artists and people who are employed in the industry. And those were just cartoons, affecting the entertainment industry. When generative AI can make fully realistic video, indiscernible from reality—it’s pretty close this already, right?—we are done. Heading towards a very dark future here…

I kept reading this article as “lightning”… 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thinking to myself, “The lightning materia was the most important factor??” I need more coffee…

Glad to hear it’s doing well, it’s a great game. Really enjoying it so far (on PS5 though).

@jsty3105 🤷🏻‍♂️

The in-game darkness is going to be an issue playing in handheld, for sure. That’s really where that OLED screen will be sorely missed. Glad to hear the games playing well though!

Still Silksong. Got the Hades II physical, so that can wait. Then on my PS5… Cronos >>> Silent Hill f >>> Hell is Us >>> (finish) Death Stranding 2…
It’s a good time to be a gamer!

Nice to see a woman stepping into the role!
