Really looking forward to playing The Witcher 3 this week. Everything about it looks perfect.

 

<3

 

It's fantastic - probably my 2nd place for GOTY. I struggle to come up with any complaints about, possibly the monster contracts getting repetitive at times, but that's it.

[Rubin Farr]

Odd - The unnamed Zelda game for Wii U is available for preorder, but Twilight Princess HD with the figure is not...

Found a pretty cool NES-inspired bluetooth controller for your retro gaming needs - works on iOS/Android, PC and Mac:

They keep selling out of preorders, they pop up but don't last long.

I'm at the end of Disgaea 5. I have been so addicted to this game, just grinding and building up my characters. I was planning to continue to do things in the post-game, but I realized something.... This will be only the second Disgaea game I've beaten, Disgaea 1 being the other. I own all 6 console games and have made it at least halfway through all of them except for 3, which I have never even opened... I think after I beat 5, I'm going to go back and finish all the others. I love this series and always buy the sequels, but it's ridiculous that I haven't finished them. I'm going to play them in reverse order, but 2 is the one I really want to finish first. I'm going to do 2, D2, 4, and 3, simply because I have made the most progress in 2 and probably should have beaten it long ago.

 

There are only about 4 or 5 games that I'm really planning to pick up this year, unless something amazing is announced, so I am resigning myself to finishing these Disgaea games and then playing whatever else I already own because I really have more than I'll ever be able to beat in my lifetime.

[Silent Member]

I love the design, but it doesn't look very ergonomic at all.

No - I literally found it today, but most of the Amazon reviews seem positive. Bit pricy for a BT controller, and I think you can use a PS3/4 controller with a Raspberry Pi and certainly with any Mac/PC emulator, so this is really a novelty item.

Yeah never really understood CE tat. They just seem to take up space on people's shelves and are quickly forgotten. The closest I have gotten recently to buying a CE was Fallout 4 for the pip-boy - until I found out it was pretty much just a holder for your phone. I'm enough of a dork to want to have a functioning pip boy with built-in screen, but not enough to splash out the cash for half of one.

The biggest problem for me is I'm a bit over buying physical - the Wii U is the only console I still buy physical for, since 32GB isn't enough space and I don't want to fuss with an external HDD.

 

The one big benefit of physical, is unlike digital that rarely goes on sale, if you wait a few months, most physical games can be bought for 40.00 USD or less.

 

But Dark Souls 3 is a day-one physical must-buy.

Plants vs Zombies 2: Modern Day update is out

[Stock]

Kinda hooked on Splatoon atm, did not expect to like the game that much. Made my way to rank B-, it's getting more and more tense

[QQQ]

Splatoon is one of the best games I've played in a long time. Would love to get back into it, its been a while. There are so many new levels and updates since I last played, I recon it must be like a while new game.
