OCH Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I did in the end, thanks. Didn't really want to get them a third game. But I couldn't take the risk of not getting one before Christmas. I got the God of War Ragnarok bundle. Too advanced for my nieces. But my brother will love it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 So today, I turn on my Switch. The first time since I last played Metroid Dread (I wanna say last October?) and I thought, I'll undock it and play it in bed for a change. Except the Joycons weren't working. Not even registering at all. Eventually, I pressed the little reset button on the side and the right/orange side was acknowledged. Nothing from the left/blue side though. Even searching for it, yielded a '?' on the menu? It's not a deal breaker or anything. As I'll just play it docked anyway. But it is strange that one side has just ceased to function???

one-armed dwarf Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I had the same issue with Bayonetta 3, except my Switch was dormant since 2018. Controller quality has gone down the shitter this generation regardless though, never remember having anywhere near as many non functional controllers in previous gens.

OCH Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The strangest part was that the orange side - when it did register - said it had a full battery. Which why the FAQ presumed the blue side couldn't be detected. Surely if they are connected to the screen, inside the dock that is always plugged in. They would remain fully charged?🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I wanted to play a little of both (PokéMon Violet and RE8), before Callisto Protocol arrives. Except now, I've fallen down a bit of a pokémanz sinkhole and sidelined RE8 (which sidelined Tactics Orge and Sekiro, beforehand). Today I got a pre-dispatch alert from ShopTo for Callisto Protocol. Suddenly I have too many games to play🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Coming up to the end of year and some publications are doing their goty thing. Here's one of the more interesting ones. Interesting as in I'm not really familiar with a lot of the stuff on the list and it's got a bit focus on smaller budget and narrative-centric games, so it might make for good reading/gaming over the xmas period https://www.pastemagazine.com/games/best-games-of-2022/ I bought Pentiment the other day, but that is definitely a game that's not for after work gaming. It's all about Bavarian monks and calligraphy and shit, going to give it its due when I take time off. Signalis another one I want to check out (kinda a horror I think, has a thread about it on here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 I've been playing that Hardspace Shipbreaker game. It's so addictive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 That game also ended up on Edge's GOTY list. Quote 10. Bayonetta 39. Windjammers 28. Gran Turismo 77. Poinpy6. Hardspace: Shipbreaker5. Roadwarden4. Neon White3. PentimentAnd joint first:Elden Ring and Immortality I have it, got it in early access, but it was interesting enough that I wanted to wait until it was complete. Haven't got around to it yet Roadwarden I got a while back as well, it's a kind of text based adventure thing with a CYOA vibe and monochrome visuals. Not got far into it to say much about it tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 I don't know about it being GOTY material. It is very good though, if you can gamepass it or whatever, give it a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Since you all did your PS and XBOX wrap ups, Steam did one as well. https://s.team/y22/fvfkdbk?l=english I have no idea if it'll embed. It's pretty detailed though, go and have a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I'm Torn Goldeneye (N64) is out on Switch (and X-Box) this week. On the one hand, it would be nice to play it again after roughly 20+ years. Although my FPS-related headaches would likely return. Then again, to do so on Switch would mean setting up the online thing again. Which I don't really want to do? I am certainly very rusty, but I don't recall 100% completion taking that long. I definitely wouldn't play the multiplayer online, either. As it wouldn't, and will never be, the same as four players in the same room. I just don't know🤷♂️ Oh and as an aside, from what I've read. The Switch release has online multiplayer and the X-Box one doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCH Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I've been gaming lately Had a catch-up with my brother recently, who was grinning from ear to ear about the new game he's got. He tells me it is FF7R. He notices my stoic response doesn't mirror his own. 'Thought so. I knew you wouldn't like it. Given you don't like real time fighting in RPG's and your whole "creative integrity" thing against reimaging stories. Oh well. Something like this was never aimed at you anyway. So What have you been playing lately?' 'Shining Force 2 on Switch. Needed something good to get me back into gaming.' 'Nice. A 16-bit 90's SRPG on that shiny, modern TV of yours😄' (For all those that side with my brother's take here. He does also cite Batman V Superman as one of the greatest comic book movies ever made. Even I don't get that one?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regemond Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Just gonna leave this here as one of the most ridiculous opinion pieces I've ever seen in my life. https://metro.co.uk/2023/02/18/microsoft-should-sell-its-xbox-business-to-sony-playstation-18304725/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Why would metro even publish that? Clicks I suppose, but how can you even come to the conclusion that a larger monopoly is the solution? Even if MS were to sell the Xbox arm it would be to literally anyone else than Sony.

shinymcshine Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 TBH I guess they don't get that many weekend reader submissions anymore, so they'll likely publish anything submitted (so long as it doesn't cross obvious boundaries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
