Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

How fun is it stealing everything in Octopath 😂 Dagger for 20k or a 55% chance of robbing it? No brainer!

Love it. Reminds me of Divinity. I stole absolutely everything that wasn't nailed down from the main town in that game.

@KratosMD @kyleforrester87 Sorry chaps for not responding sooner - been away a good portion of this week. I've decided to give Octopath a miss because what I've seen, it's probably not the RPG lite I need.

Confession to make, I have never played a Pokemon game and have no idea what they even entail. Afraid I was a bit too old when they big in the late 90's, early 00's and have since escaped me. The only thing I do know is the answer to the riddle, how do you get Pikachu on a bus (answer - pokemon... pokehimon.. get it?)

@Rudy_Manchego fair enough, yes I don't think this is the game to bring in people who don't like the genre but if you are already a fan or are neutral it's a good starting point. I am really enjoying it!

100% all map data in Ys VIII.

Got the post game dungeon (not the one that requires all Castaways) and went down. First had to the last memory sequence with its own superboss.

Then you get 5 dungeons effectively redesigned and stitched together. Only warp points and thus only poibts to be healed outside of your inventory is the start...and the end.

The superboss wasnt that bad...there was a section before with 3 lv90s and 2 lv99s that felt quite rough. The actual boss though....yeah. That was actually fun. I was lv89 and it was a genuinely fun and flashy fight.

I think it helped its defense stat wasnt sky high.

Just a few things left to do now. Finish Fishing for Shoebill, and the other superboss that is Lv80.

According to Ubisoft's financials, South Park The Stick of Truth is coming to Switch. Seemed the sequel did well enough

Hopefully they price it appropriately for such a late port.

Have yet to play TFBW, but Stick of Truth was a ton of fun.

Physical: Finished up the main story in Ys VIII today! It's a bit rough around the edges, but I really enjoyed it. Along side Tropical Freeze, it's probably my favorite 2018 release so far.

Digital: Playing Assault Gunners HD Edition, which is my first digital purchase in quite some time. It's pretty simple with brief missions, but it's a nice change of pace after a long Ys session. Not much else in the way of mecha games on the system currently anyways.

Since there are so many Switch games I'm interested in out right now (and only more are going to be coming out) I've decided to put my purchases in the hands of a lottery (I wrote down the games on little strips of paper, and will draw one at random when it's time to purchase my next game, though a game in the same genre as the last game I played will lead to a redraw to guarantee a bit of variety in my playtime).

Since I just completed YS VIII I held my first draw, and I got Octopath Traveller, but as another RPG I had to hold a redraw and got South Park: the Fractured but Whole, but as yet another RPG I had to draw again and finally landed on Gal Gun 2, a game I probably would have perpetually looked over if not for this system.

Now I just have to order it tomorrow when my paycheck comes in, and hope no one else in the family opens it up when it arrives, lol.

For reference, the pot was Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack, Batman: the Telltale game, Captain Toad, Gal Gun 2, Go! Vacation, Octopath Traveller, Resident Evil Revelations 1&2, Shining Resonance Refrain, South Park: tFBW, and Wolfenstein II.

@RR529 That is a different approach to select which game to buy next! I might try for my next game I play from my backlog.

@JohnnyShoulder, yeah. After reading over some reviews again, I decided I didn't really want Gal Gun, but I didn't abandon the system. I just drew again and pulled Captain Toad, which I ordered yesterday. I enjoyed the demo so I'm looking forward to it.

@RR529 What's the sense of having a lottery system if you are going to just keep redrawing until you get the game you want to play? Just seems odd that's all.

@Tasuki, well Gal Gun 2 was literally the only game I was somewhat hesitant to include in the first place, which is really the only reason I re-did it. Probably shouldn't have had it in there in the first place.

_{I know you're excited for Mega Man X, but you should know that advertising a personal streaming event is against the rules here I am afraid. Even though you are a member here who contributes I can't let you do that while at the same time telling others they can't. Thanks for understanding -Tasuki-}

Downloaded the Taiko demo off the Japanese eShop, and man what an absolute blast!

Given that the full game will apparently be getting an English patch shortly after release, it may be the first game I consider importing. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Played with motion controls and maxed out the bar on top on both songs on both the first two difficulties.

@RR529 Captain Toad seems the perfect game for Switch, especially in portable mode.

My weekend in Switch time:

• Cleared the post game dungeon in Ys VIII.
• Cleared 14 of the 15 DLC missions in Assault Gunners HD Edition.
• Tried out BotW Link in MK8D after the update.
• Played an unhealthy amount of the Taiko no Tatsujin demo (I think I'm addicted).

I'm just gonna leave this here with one word.

DAYTOOOONNAAAAAA

Here is Nintendo's big September release alongside their Online service:

I've just finished playing Bayonetta 2 after completing the first one a few weeks ago, and I loved both of them, although I found Bayonetta 2 to be an improvement on the first one in basically every way except the final boss. Bayonetta 1 was probably an 7 or 8 out of 10, but Bayonetta 2 is a 9 or maybe even 10/10 game for me, it was just phenomenal from beginning to end, and now Bayonetta 3 is another game I can't wait for next year on this system!

My weekend in Switch playtime:

• Finished the main story in Captain Toad (with all gems collected).
• Completed my Normal/Veteran run in Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon.
• Downloaded and played a suprising amount of Dawn of the Breakers (a F2P lite-action RPG).
• Completed 2 puzzles in Picross S (I totally thought I had finished this months ago, but it turns out I have nearly 2 pages of puzzles left to solve, lol).
