Character looks a bit like Samus Aran in the thumbnail.

Winning is overrated, pulling off dorky moves with the friends is all the fun!

Yeah, I liked it. Lots of stuff I am interested in.

Your posts made Nintendo release Galaxy (and Galaxy 2) on Switch! They didn’t want this free publicity to go away 😀

Ah interesting.

Wow, that’s some dedication. Salute to you for actually getting those achievements.

That’s an interesting way to play Deux Ex, never tried the sniper walkthrough, will give a try if I went back to it.

I agree with most of it, except I think it’s fine for developers to make a hard (or very hard game) if that’s their vision. Not every games is for everyone. And if developers are fine with targeting just a niche, there is no issue with it.

That being said, I do have issue with players / gamers saying there should be no easy mode. Adding an easy mode doesn’t take away anything for anyone who isn’t playing easy mode. All it takes away is their ability to brag that they finished a game half the people can’t finish. There are ways for developers to handle even that. Give some special achievement or something for those who finish on non-easy mode, but that’s again up to developers, and I am fine if there isn’t one.

Yeah, I feel more at home with 8 too.

How will you compare it with MK: World?

Heh, have heard similar things from others, just not sure if that would work for me, but still, sounds like worth a try at least.

Thanks. I guess I should just give it a try some day.

Number going up can be fun for a while too…

I want to try this, but I am not a big fan of sandbox games without any set goals. Is there any kind of single player campaign in it?

Switch 2 is bigger than Switch 1. I am not very comfortable taking it outside home yet, still use my old Switch 1 for that. So, this could be one of the reason.

And yeah, it would be interesting to see how long it keeps this momentum.

First year is always for enthusiasts and is supply constrained, not demand constrained. This price was high but within expectations, even then, I know people who only play on Switch but haven’t upgraded due to this.

We will see the real effect from next year. If it keeps this momentum or significantly slows down.

Interesting. Not a big fan of rhythm games, but this looks cool.

Oh, I am terrible at them. I am just better than my kids 😀

Yeah, same here. I am still much better at more technical fighters, like Street Fighter, but get completely destroyed in Smash.

It’s more fun playing with tons of characters, specially for a casual game like this. That’s what I do too.

Heh, I just played Smash Ultimate after a long while too. Had a few matches with my kid. I started strong, beating him in first few matches, then he got better and I lost 70-80% of the matches. 😀

Interesting. Maybe I can take a look at some options.

Oh yeah, not saying it’s not a good game, just that I couldn’t get into it. My kid loves it, probably has hundred plus hours in it.

Why do you hate them?

Yeah, I love Switch, and the games Nintendo makes, but as a business, they are a pretty weird company.

I have tried to like Minecraft many times, just can’t get into it. Still, sometimes play with my kid, if he doesn’t have anything else to play.

Congratulations on 400!

I hope they release it again sometime.

I didn’t buy it during limited release, cause I didn’t want to support that, so will check if they make a proper release some day.

I am sure that many people use games to make statements, but not all devs think like that. Many of them just think “it would be cool to play/develop a game like this” without thinking about any kind of statement they will be making.

Like, if I had to drown to death and got to pick the water, this is top of my list.

lol, that’s an interesting scale to rate water on 😀

It was DK Space Port, not sure if that’s Giant Robot DK or DK Pass though.

I haven’t played too much of the MK: World, busy with DK: Bananza these days, but there is a really good DK track in the game. Have you played that yet? I still have about half the tracks that I haven’t played, so can’t say much about rest of them.

For me, Mario Kart is just to play with family, or sometimes play solo when I don’t want to play anything else, so don’t have much issues with it.

Shameless plug, but you should join [email protected] 😀

It’s actually on sale for 5.99 right now, but it also sometimes go down to 2.99…

Prey is still on my wishlist, should get around to playing it soon.

Not my links, came across them a little while ago. Haven’t gone through full lists, just skimmed them, but they look good.

Congratulations on the (non-platinum) Platinum!

(Platinum trophy is what you get on PlayStation when you have gotten all other trophies.)

I’ll be getting the collections on Switch, hopefully that port is also good.

I want to give old ones a try, but I am also afraid they would be too difficult for me now. Maybe if I can pickup older collection at good sale.

Porting studios should get recognition too. Kudos to M2!

I have never played a Castlevania game (or a Metal Gear game) so plan to buy collections for both and give them a try.

Good to hear that at least some of the games still hold up well.

I don’t think I have thought about it like this. I prefer digital, but it’s purely from ease of use point of view.

For me it’s where do I want to play this game? My preference is: Handheld console -> Home Console -> PC

As for PC, Gog used to be my goto platform a long time ago, but then reduced their Linux support and Steam started focusing on it, so I switched to Steam 100%, but I play very little on PC, so practically speaking this doesn’t make too much of a difference.

So, with current systems that I have, this becomes something like: Switch -> PlayStation -> Steam.

As for the discussion between owning and renting, I used to be a collector, but with time, don’t care about “owning” games too much, for 90% of the games I’ll play it once for 30-40 hours (or 90-100 hours if it’s a long RPG) and then probably never touch them again, at least not for next decade or so, so whatever let’s me enjoy that legally, at the cheapest rate, is fine for me.

I do have some opinions about Gamepass, but that is how it effects the ecosystem, so not sure if it’s relevant here or not.

Yeah, there were couple of fights where I died quite a bit too, don’t recall if it was this same location or not though.

It can be a fun series to revisit.
