Skummy Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 My ex keeps sending me squee-ish updates on how much fun she's having with the new Xenoblade, and how adorable Nopon are, and I'm putting off impulse purchasing it because I don't want to be spending much money right now, and don't have the time to pour anything like that many hours into a game at the moment, but damn it I'm tempted.

apsham Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 You okay with things talk like this? Many, many of them all talk same and voiced same as well! Maybe that reason to put off Xenoblade as Nopon all speak so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skummy Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I poured over 100 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii, with Rikki as a permanent member of my party (and wearing shitty low levelled armour for half the game because my then-girlfriend thought it was cute and wouldn't let me change it) - I can handle the Nopon.

Ruki Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Finished Mario last night. Such a good game! The last boss fight kicked my ass though But the amount of stuff in the game is crazy...and there's even more in post game. But I think it's time to move onto Zelda! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDOL Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Picked up Has Been Heroes, RBI Baseball and a set of racing wheels for the joy cons with a buy 2 used Get One Free coupon from GameStop. looking at the reviews for RBI Baseball, and literally everything RGT 85 complains about I see as a positive. No commentary - Great! I get so sick of hearing the same sound bytes over and over and usually wish there was an option to turn it off. No Instant Replay - I click through them 90% of the time anyway. i played one game and ended up getting destroyed by the AI, but overall I thought the streamlined presentation was a breath of fresh air. looking to pick up Mario Odyssey or Zelda next payday.

Colly Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 So because I'm a massive Luddite I went to try and get an Official Nintendo Magazine to leaf through their buyers guides etc for my daughters 2DS, only to discover that it went out of print in 2014. Has anyone got any website tips for decent reviews etc, and essential games to pick up? She's up to her eyes in pokeymans at the moment so no panic, but I miss magazines...

apsham Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 So the Mario Odyssey speed running community has a record called "Nipple%" that tracks New Game to the point where you can get Mario into his underwear. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metacritic and GameFAQs might be your best bet if you want something recent. If she's liking Pokemon, you may want to look into Yo-kai Watch, it's been likened to Pokemon, the main difference is you try and catch ghosts/spirits that are responsible for unusual/unexplained activities, may sound a bit dark but it's one of those bright and colourful anime type of shows, I think it airs on Cartoon Network.

Ruki Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Loving Zelda so far. The only thing i hate is the awful placement of the jump button to begin with (And after fixing it, the Sprint button). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ellis Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Dark Souls Remastered is an odd one. Granted, I'd say that's the one where the series really started to connect on a broader level but surely Demons Souls is the one that would need the remaster since not as many people have played it, it wasn't cross platform like Dark Souls and they're in the process of turning the servers off. Still, improved frame rate would be good (up yours, Blighttown) and I guess there's a novelty to playing a game like that on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
