Got this game on launch. LOVED it! I couldn’t put it down, but then realized I finished on my 3rd sit-down session with it. I actually plan on replaying it with headphones on or docked with my sound system, because the sound is definitely an important part of immersion.
Also for those currently playing it or buying it soon, until they patch it be aware of a bug in a specific part of the game. You’ll know it when you reach it.
I bought the physical Switch version when GameStop had it used on sale for $21 a month ago; mostly for novelty. Got the original DS version and prefer that over the final mix, mainly because of controls.
This game has been out a year at this point l, yeah? I haven’t play it since 3 weeks after its release. No multiplayer still? Didn’t they say they were adding that?
I believe in diversity/equality and all, but as a POC that speaks Japanese, it’s not often that I find a POC that speaks Japanese... Soooo if the position is in NoJ... (I use POC because @KillerBOB uses emojis of color.)
I’m waiting to get my physical of SOR4. The only other Beat ‘em up I have on Switch is River City Girls, and even though almost everything lines up for it, the controls brought my score for that game waaaay down. I deleted RCG after beating it. Hoping SOR4 is better.
I guess someone needs to be excited about his future... It took Sega long enough to excite the US with PSO2, so I'm not holding my breath for anything exciting from them ever...
Oh my gosh. Elemental Knights R is on sale for .75 ¢ . I got it and I don’t see how they got people to pay the original $22 for it!
... also got Remilore on sale, and probably going to bust out some multiplayer Slayin 2, Smash, Diablo, maybe even Tales of Vesperia or Bleed 2; something to playing with the cousins while visiting family.
I really want to play Wonderful 101 - I’ve wanted to since Wii U - but I’ve heard too many bad things that I don’t think they deserve my full $40. So I’m going to try to hold my money. Phantasy Star Online 2 US finally releases This coming week, so that’ll take a lot of time up after the 26th.
I love buying certain games physical; but at this point @Rpg-lover , even if this game had an offline/story mode, unless they create an updated version of the physical edition for the west, the story mode data would be in storage anyway as opposed to on the cartridge. I see this physical game as just for collection purposes.
I'll probably try this game a few days and delete it anyway.
Loving this game! When I’m not playing the story-driven Tales of Vesperia, I’m either mindlessly rolling in Katamari, or playing this. I think I’m in the middle where the difficulty spikes.
@Nomad I stopped reading your comment after you said it’s unfair for me to call people stupid. Where did I call someone stupid? Because I don’t see it.
@CosmoXY yeah, I don’t get this Direct obsession. I’m sure everyone has a backlog to entertain them.
And if you don’t have a backlog, broaden your game genre preference. And if you don’t want to do that, read a friggin book, or cook a meal, or find another hobby. Cheezus Christ, it’s just a Direct! 🙄
As someone that played Slayin’ 1 for free, it was good for what it was, and it was definitely one of those games I could pick up if I didn’t have my Switch on me. This is definitely a significant improvement over the first, and I actually had my eyes peeled on the sequel at one point. With a ~$8 price point, I’d be happy to spend that Day 1. It’d be a nice break game in between Tales of Vesperia sessions.
Played 3D Land on 3DS. Loved it! Have no Mario game on Switch at all; I have no game featuring Mario except Smash Bros. Best Buy needs to cool tf down with these pre-emotive listings, and we need to hurry up and get this released on Switch.
I have too many backlogged games I need to go back and beat. Gigawrecker, at least one installment in the Megaman Zero / Z/X legacy collection, Astral Chain, Cadence of Hyrule. I need to beat at least 2 before I decide to get Trials of Mana or get Tales of Vespiria on its next sale. And need to beat at least 3 before Phantasy Star Online 2 US PC is released.
@playstation_king
Warframe was hella grindey without micro transactions.
Fortnite...meh
A friend of mine said he got bored with Apex legends fairly quickly.
But we all have different tastes. And we all have different expectations of different games.
My opinion of this is there will be several f2p games out soon for me: PSO2, Blue Protocol, Genshin Impact, etc. I might try it if others are a letdown.
@construx I thought that was intentional. Like how in AA games a character goes running off at the mouth and the game speed through several screens of text.
@ImagineerNik No, you can’t use the touch screen at all.
I’m loving this so far. I’m on the second case already, and can’t wait to play more after work today. I’m throwing Snack World on the wayside until I probably beat case 3.
I was going to wait a while to get this physically... then noticed it’s sold out on Amazon (third-party sellers only) , and all but one GameStop near me don’t have it. Walmart probably has it; a lot of the Targets had shipping only.
There are enough games being released for me to buy a game of a different genre than what I’m playing at any given time. Paying for add-on content for a game I own works for me when the game release and content release are significantly farther apart, and I’m itching to play that genre Later on. For example, Splatoon 2 was good, and I’ve had it for almost a year. I may get Octo Expansion soon once on sale again as I’ve stopped playing for several months am ready for Playing that again. I’m also partial to story and salmon run on there though.
just like @RobotReptile I bought the first fighter pass out of faith. I feel disappointed more than satisfied with that roster.
I also don’t know how I feel about buying this next fighter pass to have spent a grand total of $115 on Smash. I’m not broke by any means, but the next $30 can be used elsewhere. Let’s see what they have for the first 2 characters...
@OorWullie I was thinking it was Blazing Beaks or Warlocks 2 as well. I think I would’ve been content with it being Warlocks 2. But I guess we’ll just have to see how Space Pioneers is.
@TechaNinja I typically get emails between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm my time regarding discounts. Might be in settings on your Nintendo account online. I’m not sure.
@TechaNinja What typically happens is Nintendo will send me an email letting me know that a wishlist item is on sale, like how Steam does it. I haven’t paid attention to the time stamps for when these have happened, and haven gotten one for any Qubic games... mainly because I already had Geki Yaba and One Strike, and I got puzzle book first thing the morning of its free download.
I’ve bought too many games since Black Friday. Beat Double Cross Friday night, playing Galaxy Champions TV, tried Robonauts since it was free, attempted Dauntless and decided it was a no-go, bought Shovel Knight Treasure Trove before the price hike, bought Hover while it had a big price cut, got Terrorhythm and Cadence of Hyrule on sale. Played a bit of all of this Friday and Saturday so far. Mug get play some Diablo and Astral Chain Sunday.
He doesn’t look like when that kid was turned into a monkey in the original “Jumanji” anymore!! Good job. Just like many other people feel though, I felt it was a stunt they pulled...
I know I digging far in the old catalog, but I’m playing Victor Vran: Overkill on Switch. Will probably play some more River City Girls, and maybe play some more Astral Chain.

I did also find out they have a demo on Steam, so I’m definitely playing that before I decide on purchase.
