What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I have no clue how you guys got a Nintendo Switch. Basically the instant (like 10 minutes after) the announcement for it started, I pre ordered it on Amazon, yet I'm still very much in the invisible line.

im genuinely tempted to buy one just for zelda and then sell it straight away afterwards.

If anyone with a PSN account wants to sign up for the new Gran Turismo Beta here it is:

Damn it's already closed. I say already, maybe two days is a lot?

i couldn't be bothered pre-ordering and had no real intension of getting one so early. i was keen to get one but was more thinking i'll wait a year or a bit for some more games to come out and make the purchase more worthwhile. the day it came out i had the friday off and woke up ~12pm-ish .. started thinking "switch is out.. i wonder if i can walk in and buy a switch .. or if it'll be sold out." so i walked to my nearest gamestore and pretty much just impulse purchased the damn thing and walked out. *slaps forehead* !! 

 

beyond zelda there's not much on there. puyopuyo tetris is available on japanese shop with all japanese text in menus and no english (english version coming soon). snipperclips is fun multiplayer. fast rmx honestly just doesn't do a great deal of anything for me. shovelknight, blastermaster seems kind of pointless.

^ saem.

Didn't even consciously plan buying it, but was intrigued by botw. Walked into a electronics retailer just to check and there it was and instabuy.

 

Also how t f has anyone finished zelda main quest tbh. Been playing intensely for more than a week now and seen maybe a bit more than 1/3 of the map

still lots of enemies which are clearly too strong

but just got the

yuge horse maybe I can just run em over

ye there are so many things to do and side quests that to beat the game quickly i imagine you'd have to focus hard on ignoring a lot of that and focus a lot more on just the main quest stuff. there's a speed run on youtube of someone beating the game in an hour, first half hour being the initial plateaux area and then rest is (haven't watched second half) is seemingly then just going straight to the end of the game and beating it lol.

 

i recently got obsessed with boosting my max health and doing a bunch of shrines .. boosting the health for a specific quest in the game .. and done that / accomplished what i wanted yesterday :):):) so i'm pretty happy now. back to checking off side quests i guess.

Apparently there is a firmware update coming for Switch that enables cloud saves, some repaired units are already enabled:

Edit: this was debunked

Euclidean Lands is a beautiful 3D puzzler combining the visual aesthetics of Monument Valley with Escher type surface mechanics. It will hurt your brain.

Late to the party, but bought inside for around 8 euro's on psn, holy shit what a game, that ending..wow.

[Silent Member]

Just cancelled my preorder of Mass Effect Andromeda. I don't even know why I pre-ordered in the first place, it's for fanboys and dummies innit. oh... right.

I'll buy it in six months when they've sorted out the bugs and the price is down.

 

Maybe... It looks like a shitfest to be honest, but it's Mass Effect. Ugh. Dumb man child.

 

Instantly regretting cancelation. I seem to be having a mental breakdown. Thanks Andromeda!

buy and enjoy if you wanna.

never preorder !

[Raktorn]

Been playing some "GoldenEye 007" romhacks recently. Some of the levels are pretty unimpressive where they're just levels from the original game with a few redesigned textures or something, but others are total conversions of levels from the ground up that look amazing. The "Island" level is personally one of my favourites.

 

 

A small handful of the already existing levels from Multiplayer ported to be a single player mission aren't bad, though. I especially like the fact that someone ported the "Grid" multiplayer mission from "Perfect Dark" to become a solo mission.

I played about 5 hours of the andromeda demo and it was all a bit meh. The writing is pretty bad, I'll wait till it's cheaper

[sine nomine]

How taste can change is surprising to me. I'm like 20hrs into Bloodborne. I remember not liking it when it was my first ps4 game - so I got rid of it. 2 years later and I couldn't care for any other game atm. Wanting to get Demon Souls, Ds1 and Ds2 ...playing Ds3 but watching lets plays on youtube spiled it for me, though I'm looking forward to playing through to both dlc's

Never preorder.

 

Also yes, it looks like they completely missed their mark. How about that Zelda though. Not buying Mass Effect has made me want to buy a Switch

That is interesting. Demon's Souls did that to me, I played like 10-20 hours of it and hated how badly it kicked my ass. I changed my mind after I picked up Dark Souls a few months later, was all about it afterwards. Been wanting to play Demon's or DS1 again, but no PS3. Bloodborne is so good though, so damned good.

They fucked up!

[Hugh Mughnus]

=(

 

 

do you have a video or something I can check out? Why do we think it's gonna suck now.

 

That sucks if they screwed up man, I really loved the ME trilogy and was super looking forward to this.

[mcbpete]

Did the space soap opera have the wrong kind of space soap opera talk or something? Did they talk about the wrong kind of space pirates ?

[Squee]

Ok, so here's the thing... I bet it's an ok game. But with Mass Effect you expect greatness, right? Apparently, it's just kinda bland.

 

 

 

But hey, Thimbleweed Park comes out next week so we can always just play that instead

 

[mcbpete]

Jeez that framerate .... And on a PS4 Pro as well - Everytime they swing the camera around I get nauseous!
