Avowed. Finally was able to start this up last night. Only played an hour so not sure where I stand just yet. The combat takes some getting used to though. I had to change to 3rd person for a better view of the world.
Wwe 2k24 still. My son and I play a few matches every day. After seeing footage and rosters of 25, I don't feel the need buy 25 yet.
On Switch:
Mario Wonder. Mostly for Mario day I'm playing through before xcx. If I have time I'll probably play a smaller Mario title like 3d land or nsmb 2.
SK:Specter of Tormet i needed some comfort food gaming coming off DQ3 which I did not like, this is is getting me back on track.
One of my favorite days, I remember like it was yesterday. Waiting by the front door for target delivery to arrive. I was 29yrs old, I felt like I was 9.
On xbox- wwe 2k24 Alone in the Dark I'm nearly done with the 4th chapter and next chapter is the final. I think I'm going to power through and try to finish tonight/ tomorrow.
On switch- DQIII HD2D to be honest, I'm not enjoying this one anymore. I'm just trying to roll credits since I've invested so much time. I've turned down the difficulty to easy to avoid any severe grinding. I think I'm in the final 5 or so hours of this one too, and I can't wait to be able to move on.
Pre-ordered and ready to jump in. Xenoblade has become a top tier franchise for me this generation. I never got around to playing X yet even though I owned it on wii u. Very excited to dive into another monstrous monolith game.
@WolfyTn was underground the one where you can drive cars and climb buildings? I think I still have that on GameCube. Or was it American wasteland? I get confused between the two.
Like I said previously, it kinda sucks but it just means we're on to something new which is really exciting. I'm sure nintendo has something cooked up in it's place.
I mean..yea it kinda sucks. But if anything, this is super exciting. It means we're on the verge of something new and it's starting to feel real now. Bring on April 2.
Yea, I would've been happier with VC. It's wierd but I barely play NSO outside of some whacky release just to check it out, or just the classic mario + zelda titles. I dedicate my time to games that I buy, and not what I rent. I'm wierd like that.
@Li_Bae interesting. I've heard great things about that game as well. I think I just need to take a break from JRPGS. Especially traditional ones.. I am however looking forward to getting my hands on XCX as I've loved every xenoblade game.
If I'm being honest, the more I play this one the less I'm liking it. I'm at what I would call the midway point after looking at a guide. So about 16hrs in, mid 20s for levels.
The novelty and beauty sort of wore off for me. What hooked me right away was playing a beautiful looking old school jrpg. It just got a bit stale though. Should've seen it coming, it's whats expected from a 30 yr old famicom game. Still trying to decide if I want to finish it or move onto something else before XCX comes out.

@Tyranexx exactly it'll be a great time.

Re: Nintendo San Francisco Is Getting A "Grand Opening" In May
@Serpenterror for sure. Just thought maybe a different city in California made more sense.
Re: Nintendo San Francisco Is Getting A "Grand Opening" In May
@The_Blue_Mage that is so frustrating. Hope that type of mentality gets dealt with and punished accordingly eventually.
Re: Nintendo San Francisco Is Getting A "Grand Opening" In May
Isn't San Francisco a dump nowadays? Also waiting for the Midwest opening, wherever that may be.

Re: Looks Like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 On Switch Will Require A Mandatory Download
I'll probably just play on gamepass then.
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Officially Revealed For Nintendo Switch
Boom 💥. Can't wait. Might just play on xbox if it's on GP though.

Re: Konami Adds Incredibly Rare Slice Of GBA Ninja History To The Switch eShop
@sketchturner cybershadow was good. But insanely hard from what I remember. I'm more of a messenger guy myself.

Ooooie what a banger. I'll probably play on gamepass though, assuming it comes to GP

Clearly. No reason not to after merging handheld and console teams into one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd February)
Since I'm on a mini vacation I only brought my switch with. With that said, just DQIII HD2D
Re: Acclaimed Horror Title 'Mouthwashing' Is Making Its Way To Switch
I cant understand what this game is about!
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Briefly Vanishes From US Switch eShop, But It's Back Now
@Ralizah absolutely. I thought my dust in the wind comment was a dead giveaway 😜.
I'm sure it'll do just fine but man, at this point, I'm really in no rush to play it like I was a few years back.
Then again, if this is getting 9s and 10a across the board, I'm certain that'll change my tune hah.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Briefly Vanishes From US Switch eShop, But It's Back Now
@Ralizah I was merely joking tbh. This reminds me of how I felt about Bayonetta 3 though. The longer I waited the less excited I was for it.

Vaporware. Dust in the wind..

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th February)
Having finished Ninja Gaiden II Black a couple nights ago, I'm back to focusing on *Visions of Mana for Xbox, and WWE 2k24
On switch, still slowly working my way through DQIII HD2D
It's been a bit of slog so I might try to hammer this out as quickly as possible to move on.

Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2
Don't even matter to me. Just gimme the games and make them look/run pretty. I'm a big dumb animal.
Re: Rumour: Kirby: Planet Robobot Will Indeed Come To Switch, It's Claimed
@GoldenSunRM good to hear. I'm intrigued.
Re: Rumour: Kirby: Planet Robobot Will Indeed Come To Switch, It's Claimed
One of the few 3ds first party games I never picked up. I'll grab it if true.
Re: Nintendo Talks About Future Switch Support Ahead Of Switch 2 Launch
I mean, that's cool I guess. If getting my hands on switch 2 will be problematic due to stock, this will surely help.
Re: Nintendo President Reiterates Switch Online Will "Continue To Be Available" For Switch 2
Yea, I would've been happier with VC. It's wierd but I barely play NSO outside of some whacky release just to check it out, or just the classic mario + zelda titles. I dedicate my time to games that I buy, and not what I rent. I'm wierd like that.
