I am happy to report we are now a Switch-owning family.

 

Son and daughter marathoned through Pokemon Let's Go Evee Fri-Sat-Sun, beating the entire game (sans all the Master Trainers). Playing 2-player co-op made the game really, really easy but that was obviously meant for parent-child playthroughs, etc.

 

Overall, the Switch is a great system and we're liking it so far - have Mario Odyssey on the way, with Smash Ultimate pre ordered with the season pass.

 

Welcome to the Switcheroo! You're in for a treat with Mario Odyssey, play it together with them kids and you'll all have a blast.

 

They beat Let's Go already?!  That's some dedication. I snagged a decent Black Friday deal on it (Pikachu version, thanks for the voucher Amazon Germany). Fancied a comfy game to chill with, but mostly to balance out all the wild west murderin' over in Red Dead...

 

Switch FTW! Mario Odyssey is totally a blast and also nicely kid-friendly. Makes you remember that Nintendo masters of game design. JR: If you haven't already, get Nintendo Online. It's, like, 20 bucks for the year and you get 20+ OG Nintendo games w/ more added each month. Worth it purely for that - particularly when you think about your kids playing games that you probably played ~ the same age (but with wired controllers and 0 ability to save a game).  

Cracked/caved and got Red Dead. . . slightly worried that it'll turn into a soulless slog like GTAV, but the prologue has done a lot to dissuade that

Yep, already did that - I had a chance to fire up Gradius last night after they beat Let's Go and was a nice trip down memory lane. Some great games they have on offer there too; Nintendo is certainly back with Switch!

M2 recently announced they are bringing ESP Ra.De. - an absolute shmup grail by CAVE which never saw a single port in 20 years from the original arcade release - to their SHOT TRIGGERS series (which has mostly seen releases on PS4 with a couple on Xbox One). They have been experimenting with the Switch, so there's some rumblings that good things might happen there, but honestly I'll wager this one will be on PS4 first. Long thought to be lost in licensing hell, it's nothing short of a minor miracle it's getting a home console release. Can't wait.

100%'d Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I really enjoyed it. Probably the weakest in the series, but didn't get long in the tooth like Rise. 

I'm going to work on the DLC soon.

That's awesome - that kind of TATE screen orientation just begs for a Switch release (and hardware-wise, I think the Switch could handle it) - which reminds me... IKARUGA is on Switch...

I have one of these preordered for vertical mode shmups and whatnot. Ikaruga has a vertical mode option!

The whole Todd Howard-hate thing is ridiculous. Sure, he's the director of the games and is the face of Bethesda, but I'm pretty sure he's not the one who says, "alright, it's half-baked, let's make some money!"

it's a meme, essentially. he just has one of those faces. although, I'm not sure who the buck would ultimately stop with besides the game director.

I've been thinking that the reason FO76 isn't available on steam and is Bethesda.net exclusive is so that they wouldn't be subject to refunds. Although I'm not certain whether refunds are an option on their proprietary service or not.

But who am I to judge. I haven't tried it yet. But I might later, who knows.

So, in the last two weeks I've gone back to playing DQ11, Fallout 3, KOTOR 2, and RDR, also started playing Diablo 3 AND FALLOUT NEW VEGAS SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE TOO MANY JOBS

I started playing Fallout Shelter for the first time, cos I'm also a wasteman. I've created a pagan cult of rampant inbreeding.

God of War is $22 at the moment.

Shame the end product isn't as good as this ad. Stick with it, it's fun

Holy shit that's cool

Playing Hollow Knight for the first time.

Feels like a perfect combo of SOTN and Dark Souls.

Just bought this too just to see how good the graphics can be. Waited a couple of weeks for Black Friday and turned out there are no deals for the Pro...

I missed the whole generation of Playstation 4 and now starting to get back into games. Bought Bloodborne, Persona 5 and Nier Automata. Any other recommendation?

The Witcher 3

Yakuza 0

Doom

If you didn’t play The Last of Us on PS3 that’s one of the best things on PS4 too

Horizon Zero Dawn is my favorite. Here is a list of all my faves for the system: https://www.grouvee.com/user/onecaseman/shelves/182331-ps4-favorites/

I just bought a Switch with Zelda and Mario, and got Detroit: Become Human for $20.

I also beat the first Shadow of the Tomb Raider DLC.

STILL playing NMS. Version 1.75 update today. Two years ago I never imagined I'd even be touching this game again. Yet here I am, 150+ hours in.

I'd wait. I think it might become a free-to-play game in the coming months considering how negative the reviews are coming in.

Lots of really good game deals online this year, PS4 with Spider-Man for $199, etc. I picked up Kirby Star Allies for $35 new. Holiday game-a-thon.

Bought a 4k TV today, my vidja has never looked better. RDR2 never looked bad before, but damn is it beautiful in the HDR.

Enter the gungeon for switch is 50 percent off at eshop

And i really wanted to buy the physical copy but i have like that much nintendo dollars on my account give or take 50 cents so i think it was meant to be

Should i buy it?
