Doom, 2016 GOTY, coming to the Switch, the perfect system?

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Doom 2016 is like one of the best FPS games of the modern era and if you've never played it before then you should definitely give it a go. I dunno how well the Switch version will perform but the gameplay, that aesthetic, the SOUNDTRACK are all top notch. drat game made my PS4 basic sound like it was about to explode from fan death though.

It's interesting that they low balled demand that severely, and I wonder how severely that will impact overall sales.

I can remember a few games that had insane momentum even after constant sell outs. Demon's Souls immediately comes to mind. If there really is a huge stock shortage on XV2 I'm excited to see it maybe take off further.

Seriously broken record etc but the new Doom is one of the absolute best shooters ever. Everything about it is loving awesome. If you haven't played it yet then you're in for a treat when it drops on the Switch.

I generally dislike twitch FPS's but seriously this. The game oozes personality and so very clearly a labor of love that it's impossible not to appreciate it on an artistic level, even if it's not something you'd generally enjoy. There is something pleasing in seeing something so very well made when even some of the best AAA games these days have to come with caveats.

Also does anyone know if the lady looking for monuments to the king's Quest can be done in the demo? I managed to do the other quest I found by beating up an old man in a bar.

From a page back but yeah, you can clear that one. You need both characters for it.

Allure the historian into following you, then head east to the cave that's blocked off by an NPC and duel him to get in. There's a bunch of good treasure in the cave and stronger enemies then anywhere else in the demo. The monument you want is to the south once you're inside.

Just going by the trailers and the gameplay stuff it seems like they're focusing on all the wrong parts of what made Xenoblade really good in the first place. Was there some sort of team turnover or something?

My buddy watched me play via SharePlay and apparently I was laughing the whole time.

It's the perfect amount of self aware and consistently fun for hours on end. Being able to play it on the toilet at work will reduce nationwide stress by 30%.

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 was extremely anime
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looks to be extremely anime
Also XB1 had some bad trailers too so I'm still willing to give it the benefit of the doubt
But it looks like Pyra was being transported in that one monolith thing the Xenogears guy loves to insert into all of his games

Bethesda are really, really bad at marketing.

IIRC their argument was basically "if it looks like a generic shooter (Halo) cover it'll get the attention of people who play shooters."

Which, sure, isn't entirely wrong, but I'm pretty sure a guy in hell choking a demon with one hand and holding a shotgun with the other is going to get their attention too.

Also what if Doom has gyro aiming? That'd be pretty nice for a twitchy shooter on a console

They also seemed to think that people would want it for the (outsourced?) multiplayer and seemingly wanted people to think it was a lot slower paced.

Mario looks great.

octopath looks like they have no idea how they're gonna pull it off and the crowdsourced focus testing demo seems kinda strange at such an advanced stage of development.

arcade classics is salt in the wound.

Doom/Wolf are totally dependent on performance reviews

XB2 looks like a game i'm not gonna feel bad waiting 4 years to play

Don't remember much else. the 3ds support continues to be strong and good

As someone who has never pre-ordered anything that may be difficult to get later: When should I expect to be able to put in a pre-order for the Mario/Switch bundle? Was planning on getting one in the next month anyway and it's not like I save any money getting a used one.

if this is an unknown then i'll just keep tabs on the thread.

Regularly check nowinstock.net for when they put up the listing for the bundle, and then set up email and text alerts.

I am surprised they have the Splatoon 2 Bundle with the green/pink joycon in stock at Walmart right now
