This, absolutely. I play it a lot, but it’s nice not being in that typical carrot-on-a-stick mindset of “I’m getting tired but I’ve gotta just push through another 20 minutes to get the next thing.” If I want to keep playing, I play, and if not, fine, I’m not getting the next thing until tomorrow anyway.

This is...wow. If it weren’t for the pop-in you could’ve told me this was real.

VERY good to know, thank you!

To sneak up on bugs, hold A. You’ll ready your net. Release to catch the bug.

You can use left and right on the d pad to cycle through items. The order is the order they are in your inventory (hold A to move items around to your liking). I tend to put the pole vault, net, and fishing pole together.

I definitely wouldn’t have bought it if not for the quarantining, but man am I glad I did. As much as I sometimes want the game to get on with it (I’ve decided against time traveling because I like that game time is my time), I also find the delayed reward kind of freeing.

This was one hell of a time for The Division 2's expansion to drop, but it was solid and Gear 2.0 has me back in it. I think the system really works, even if they need to tone down how much damage an elite heavy can take (and reduce the range of those flamethrowers my god!).

Surprised to not see Bloodborne on this list! Although to be fair, that is a game to be played any time because it is the best game.

I love Souls and Soulslikes (Bloodborne is hands down my favorite game of all time), but just could not get into the first Nioh. For some reason, I found it inaccessible and was never able to find my footing or really get the hang of combat. I’m not sure if this was a matter of mechanics or game/level/enemy design. I…

My take away from that is if he was that cavalier about her being an amazing distraction, that he went into hot and heavy then moved on, he’d been seen as a womanizing, emotion-toying pos. Whereas she was being oddly celebrated for it (not explicitly but implicitly, being on the cover of the magazine and all).

I can’t decide if we’re in the best or the worst timeline.

I’d say finish the game first and experience Loot 2.0 to see how you like that. As someone who got to WT5, that’s my plan at least. For context, I stopped playing shortly after world tier 5 came out, because they increased the gear score but also changed the loot pool for reasons beyond me. So even though I was in a…

I know you already mentioned that it looks like a scene from Ultraman, but after watching that trailer, holy shit how is that not simply just Ultraman? If it weren’t for the fact that Platinum is also publishing, I’d be convinced it was a licensed game.

This isn’t as black and white as you make it seem. It’s possible to be understanding that someone is the way they are because of addiction, to acknowledge that it is the addiction doing all of that, while also not excusing that behavior, wanting to avoid that behavior, or encouraging others to avoid that behavior.

I liked sailing around and doing the pirate stuff - I spent at least a few dozen hours doing that - but I hated the missions. I think I got to sequence 5 or 6? Said screw it and just did pirate stuff for 30 hours or so.

[edit: removed this comment because I looked at the wrong image and what I said didn’t make sense, which is a shame, because I liked my joke.]

I enjoy the game and am probably going to get a ton of hours out of it, but that said, I can’t really recommend it with a $50 level of earnest. $30 seems better, based on nothing but a feeling. I’m not sorry I bought it, but I don’t know how confident I am in saying that you won’t be. If that make sense.

I find the game pretty infectious. Combat was a bit weird for me at first, but then once I realized that I was using generally the same approach to enemies in this game that I do in Bloodborne (just from a different camera angle), things really fell into place. But the thing I really enjoy are the boss fights. Dungeon…

I went ahead and got it because it’s a grindy game with big bosses which appeals to me. I’m a little confused by a bunch of things but it seems alright so far. Maybe not for $50, but I’ve only just gotten through the intro chapter. It’s quest and progression structure is similar to monster hunter, without the long,…

Has anyone here played Snack World? I see it came to Switch and it seems interesting; I looked up some gameplay but I’m still not totally sure what it’s deal is. Best I could tell by looking around, people either love or hate it.
