@hashkey ha, reminds me of all those early 90s news reports of outraged mothers having to buy Super Nintendo hardware to play new games - and then complaining they had to keep the NES around.
I realised as soon as I got it in my hands that it’ll be the last Zelda for a long while….I completed by first phenomenon around the 15th May and second coincidentally on the 15th June… so I aim to keep that pace and complete the game around late August. Still in disbelief at how much content. I 100%’d BotW so I might as well do the same with TotK on the first play thru.
I've passed about 8 of these and had no clue how to interact with it. I've largely bypassed most things Zonai as there's so much else to do... even 65 hours in.
Perhaps I'm alone, but I feel the battery / Zonai device aspect of the game hasn't been explained very clearly.
bit annoyed that I set up alerts for the pre order of the special edition - got into the UK site queuing on the day, picked up the game and the amiibo, but the pro controller wasn't listed. Then the next day, it came and went... can't seem to get that anywhere now.
I frequent hotukdeals daily and loads of outlets (Argos, Smyths, GAME) have Last of Us 2 for £7.99.
I played the first remastered on PS4 and snapped this up back when £15 sounded like a steal… so a no brainer. Doesn’t mean I’ve got round to playing it, however!
PCS are usually always character reveals… even tho they already showed Yoshis in the movie. I was hoping during the Banzai Bill scene going overhead the castle we would’ve scene either Yoshi or an egg on the roof…
Hmm. I pre ordered knowing that with Amazon’s “Pre-order price guarantee” I’ll get it for the lowest price listed between now and release. If it doesn’t fall below £20… I’ll cancel on May 11th.
What I loved about the old animated series… is it pushed the idea that what was inside the question box was truly random. However, in the games, this isn’t the case.
Any reason why these aren’t listed on the UK store? I’m not the biggest amiibo guy, but I like to get most of the cool looking Smash ones and until this article realised I didn’t pre order Sephiroth… but it’s not even showing on the store. Sold out in GAME on pre order.
Wow, is this the first time the “secondary” Pokémon title (ie, Blue, Silver, Sapphire, Shield) has charted higher than the “primary” title (ie, Red, Gold, Ruby, Sword)?
@Anti-Matter oooh, that’s insightful! What, do tell, are these other games do you have interest on? Perhaps you sharing the titles here may help propel their sales to 3.45 million units! 😀
The game finally clicked with me last month when, after originally receiving the game on release, I endeavoured to give it another fair try. Was able to continue my existing game (an impossibility with other titles) and I’ve put in over 60 hours in the past 3 weeks!
Completing the Pokédex is such an addictive and fun operation. More of this please, Gamefreak. You knocked it out the park.
@TheMelodiusRose I played Colours on the Switch and was hoping it lived up to the hype and nostalgia it was receiving… I didn’t play beyond the first level. Sonic is too fast for his own good, lead to a lot of jank.
I had Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube and I 100% it, but those Rogue levels were really infuriating due to controls, camera angles and enemy placement.
Sonic just can’t do 3D. The fans need to accept it, Sega needs to accept it. The Adventure games have aged like milk and beyond those, there is nothing worth noting.

@BabyYoda71 yes, I also have Wikipedia access. But an April general Direct? That’s just plain crazy talk.
Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023
@Bret that’s why I didn’t mention it.
Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023
@TheBigBlue mighty defensive comment there. Imagine them dropping a mini direct partner showcase at E3 in 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2021.

Re: Random: Rockstar Reportedly Turned Down A GTA Movie Starring Eminem

Unless you really did mean that you’d buy the game if it isn’t great…?
