Another shout out for skyrim here.

It's a brilliant port!

Damn yep as expected Enter the Gungeon is half price now due to its massive new update! £5.49, recommend it if you love a challenge

I love a challenge but I hate randomness. I could never get into The Binding of Isaac because progress was tied so closely to lucky items or dungeon layouts.

Yeah this is like that. Though the more you play, the more you unlock in terms of items that you have a chance to discover in game. So I have in turn found I can now get further because the items being dropped are much better than at the start of the game.

This update also sounds like drop rates are being increased along with higher chances of finding the better stuff.

I find it more fun to play than Isaac for these reasons really. Isaac never felt like I actually made any progress

Well... that's the eshop done for.. Loads of this crap under new releases. 20-30 games a week. Great job Nintendo. Can kids view this stuff??

I'm liking the look of Polygod, hope it plays as good as it looks on Switch.

Mario Kart update brings BoTW Link and master cycle. Out now.

LA Noire 9.99 at sainsburies though I'm not sure how that pans out after delivery costs or whatever? I'll skip personally but here's a link

Sold out already I think, darn I wanted it at that price.

It's a great game. Been playing for past few weeks.

Anyone else seen this? Heard about it on the Retronauts podcast and it looks like a pretty decent piece of kit if you're a fan of tate mode games -

I’d personally say this is as random as BoI, if not more so. I’ve only ever cleared the gungeon once. And have played about 100 hours so far

still great fun getting new synergies all the time. Especially when it’s room/boss clearer

you get good and bad runs though. Sometimes I don’t make it off the 2nd/3rd floor (there are five floors, and secret floors too)

Folks... going to Japan soon and although I STILL haven't finished Zelda (but literally at the last boss)… I would like to buy something else to play on the way....

Octopath and Mario Tennis are on my list.... recommendable?

Phate · 22 Jul 2018 at 15:55

I've dropped 28hrs (likely to be over 30 before I go to bed on Octopath since it released)

It's incredibly addictive and a truly excellent game. Do it.

After failing to play enter the Gungeon in handheld I went on a quest to find a grip controller. I saw all the ones on Amazon but couldn't find exactly what I wanted.

Eventually I found what I wanted https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/...intendo-switch-computers/x/19094861#/comments

I also ordered the case to go with it. I'm really looking forward to getting it and hope it stops the pain I get and makes it possible for me to play longer periods.

That looks good! The Orzly one I bought the other day has improved it for me but it's not perfect. Tacky material etc.

Considering those grips for the sticks themselves too for better control perhaps

**just noticed Metal Jesus Rocks on YouTube has done a video on the one you have linked here. Looks the part for sure

For a flight is definitely go for Octopath personally. Though I've yet to play it. Mario Tennis would not really be the game to get lost in on a flight. Can recommend Skyrim if you haven't already played it. I had an amazing time with it at airports and flights.

Man, Splatoon 2 has really grabbed me again after a long break. I played some Splatfest this weekend then went back to ranked play. So good. Love Zone Control my favourite mode by far.

I tried Fortnite for a bit after and while I did OK it didn't grab me. I find it all a bit boring?

Not sure why that was a question

Phate · 22 Jul 2018 at 19:50

Fortnite I find boring as well. Played around 10 games, removed it. Not my cup of tea

Noxia · 22 Jul 2018 at 19:52

Same with Fortnite, don't find it fun at all. I've never actually played a splatoon game.
