*** Nintendo Switch ***

Grabbed Steamworld Heist for £4 i think it was. Reviews look very good.

Going to have to buy this as well aren't I .

I'll add it to the 6 or so other Switch games I've bought in the last 2 weeks that I'll take forever to play.

Resi 4 - what a game hurgghhnnn!!! Definitely in my top 5. Played it through again recently and it’s still great, the controls now feel awful though as they have been refined many times since... once you get over that.... magic!

I've only ever played the Wii version with motion controls. For £13 I thought it would be nice to replay it on a portable.

It’s the ‘look left and look right’ whilst not aiming (I.e. walking around) that’s a bit awkward, especially after playing the RE:2 remake, as you can’t circle the camera around your character. It’s a lot more ‘tank like’ than modern games.

I think it must have one the best difficulty scalings of any game I’ve played. I consider myself a RE4 pro and still found myself pretty darn low on ammo on my last play through - I’m sure it must react to you. On the section where you are in a lift and enemies are jumping on it, I had to do it with taking out multiple enemies with each shot. No ammo was dropping. Took a few attempts!

How on earth did you manage that?

Well, I didn't. Went to the beach and took my switch in its case with all my cartridges. Mum decided to wash my backpack due to the sand being everywhere. She didn't spot the Switch's case, so that got washed as well.

 

[kurosagi01]

Well..I guess you fully embraced the Nintendo market appeal by taking it to the Beach,did you play it while you was out on the Beach?
Hope you have warranty anyway if rice bag doesn't work, the switch itself probably has better chance of surviving than the joycons.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Doubt you've got much of a chance, but it'd maybe be a better idea to open the Switch up, clean it up and leave it for a couple days.

 

[Plainsong]

Ouch.

 

[Cryfreeman]

Another new Switch incoming with greatly improved battery life, just popped up on my news feed. Glad I held off getting another switch

 

[Plainsong]

Yeah saw that. Not enough for me to upgrade unless there are other enhancements. Battery life is not something I've had much to complain about so far.

Also Luigi's Mansion 3 get a release date - October 31st. Perfect

It does have dynamic difficulty scaling, which all games should have.

Yes I did! Well, I'll look whether travel insurance will cover it otherwise I've got contents insurance with accidental cover for items out of home... I'll give it another day in the rice and then look at my options... Really gutted..

Had to be, didn’t it

 

[GSXRMovistar]

Typical, was going to get my lad a Switch for his birthday next month and now there's going to be a new one the following month. Suppose the one upside is there may be some price drops on the horizon.

 

[Spikey]

Grabbed myself a 200GB sandisk SD card from amazon prime deals for £20, couldn't resist at that price!

 

[jrwagh333]

Was hoping for a deleux edition of Luigis mansion with the original on it and maybe a remake of Sale Moon. Oh well, still excited for number 3

I need to stop buying third party games on sale on the switch. They all end up being on game pass a few weeks later.

 

[Nitefly]

OK so I’ve played Owlboy a little bit more and, yeh, really not convinced. Tbh I find it utter garbage compared to Hollow Knight / Celeste. Annoying controls, boring characters, slow story, saying it has a “world” is extraordinarily generous (it’s just scrolling ‘up’ through some sparse environments), not challenging in any way at all, ‘dungeons’ and the mechanics in them are very simple. Zzzzzzzzzzzz. And how many times can Geddy wave his arms around. **** off!

@Plainsong - I’ve got to the ‘cave with bugs in it’. Does it get any better.....?

Every platform needs a Gamepass type service going forward. It's the one good think MS have done this Gen imo, its amazing value.
