Re: GAME Apparently Ending Physical Trade-Ins From Next Month (UK)

jimbob298

I used to love going into Game even just to look around. I remember the day the GBA released, me and a mate went down to the Game in Enfield town to buy one and a couple of games each.

Now, as people have said above, it's just merch, toys and other junk with very few physical games all at full RRP. Last time I was at Lakeside, I went in for old time's sake and it was just sad. It's a pretty big shop that used to be filled with physical games and other gaming products, now what little stuff they have is very spaced out.

Re: Your 'Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2023' Stats Are Available Now

jimbob298

@BIG3 No but I do change my region to buy games cheaper from other eShops, maybe that's it. Didn't do that until last year which may explain why I got the stats in 2021. Still don't understand why that might cause me to have no stats, I always change my region back to UK after purchasing so 99% of my play time would be on that.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Football Games

jimbob298

The user ratings of most of these games is quite low considering this is a 'Best Football Games' list! Doesn't say much for Super Soccer Blast and its extremely minor update that was sold as a whole new (ball)game that it couldn't even get on here! I bought the original when it came out and while it was a little fun at first, I got bored of it very quickly.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Football Games

@JayJ I think it should be there too, it's almost certainly because they haven't reviewed it. I've only played the demo but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I see it's now on sale so I may have to pick it up.

Re: Nintendo Updates Pikmin 4 To Version 1.0.1, Here's What's Included

jimbob298

@epicgamner Similar to me, I knew the Pikmin games existed and that was about it. When I heard they were realtime strategy, I became even less interested. Then the Pikmin 3 Deluxe demo came out so I though 'what the hell, I'll give it a try'. I absolutely loved it and immediately bought the full game and played it until it was 100% complete. I'm looking forward to my pre-order of Pikmin 4 from Currys being delivered on Friday morning!

Re: Nintendo Survey Asks Players What Kind Of Game They Want Pikmin 4 To Be

@Anti-Matter Your should try the free demo of Pikmin 3 (which I think is still available). I had never played a Pikmin game (nor any other realtime strategy game) before Pikmin 3 came out. The demo was great at easing you into the game and I enjoyed it so much I immediately bought the full game and played it until it was 100% complete.

Re: Thunderful Games Teasing New SteamWorld Announcement

jimbob298

Dig was pretty good but Dig 2 was great, Heist I absolutely loved (I even chose a Heist sequel in their Twitter poll a while back asking what we'd like to see next). I was never interested in Quest as those types of games have always looked really boring to me but I picked it up in a sale and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Something new in the Steamworld universe would be great but I'd really love a sequel to Heist.

Re: Review: Quake - The Definitive Version Of An Iconic, Flawless FPS

jimbob298

@FishyS Same thing happens to me. I used to love playing FPS games then one day about 20 years ago I started feeling sick during a session on Kingpin Life of Crime, and since then I've not been able to play them. I tried again a few years later when Portal came out, trying short play sessions but that only worked for a bit.

Re: Super Soccer Blast: America vs Europe Kicks Off This Week

jimbob298

That's the trailer for the first game (same name minus the 'America vs Europe' subtitle) that came out last June which I bought. It was ok if a little dull. Having checked out the actual trailer of the new one, it looks pretty much the same so as @gcunit says, it's probably just a cash grab in time for the Euros.

Re: Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Launches On Switch Today

jimbob298

Keeping an eye on the live blog while I'm working, Monster Hunter: Yawn, Fitness Boxing: Yawn, Disgaea: Yawn, etc.

ORI: OMG!

Even though I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, I haven't bought Will Of The Wisps on Xbox One (mainly because the storage is full) and didn't expect to ever play it because Microsoft said it wouldn't be released on Switch. So I surprised myself at how excited I was to see the name pop up on the live bog.
