Is $400 for a nintendo switch, zelda breath of the wild, mario + rabbids, and mario kart 8 deluxe a good deal?


Because KCB just bought that after I was looking for deals and I think we got a good deal and I guess I'm mostly just posting to say I'm excited to have a switch and some fun games :D

$400 for the console and three games sounds too good to be true. Are the games prelicked?

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
Seeing PUBG, a broken ugly early access game with sluggish movement that barely works, being talked about in people's potential Game of the Year list is almost like... depressing. Imagine that ugly busted pile of rear end next to Mario Odyssey

Now if PUBG had the movement that Mario has then I'd maybe be singing a different tune!

I mean they're both games that are going for very very very different things and mostly speak to completely different types of gamers.

I was amazed to discover how resource-intensive PUBG was because to me it looks like a 2010-era eurojank game.

PUBG is a really stupid name and the game is getting farther and farther away from the period of time where it would've been acceptable to change it to something not so stupid

It's too bad Minecraft suffered that same problem with its graphics and never ended up going through with the graphical overhaul.

the only place I hear about it being a "consideration" for goty is Neogaf so that tells you all you need to know. If having the most users for something mattered then League of Legends would win GOTY every year but we all secretly know it's terrible

I played through Doki Doki Lit Club, enjoyed it, although if you leave the game sitting there at the final scene you get all these weird loving preachy things about "college is overstated" and "u should always try hard and succeed" and "people shouldnt be mean about opinions" like ok dude I get it you're using this end screen as a platform for your tweets, can I go now

That being said now I wish Nier Automata had been a VN with multiple choices as well if only so I wouldn't have to go through as many fights.

Nah, NeoGAF is back, sadly. That forum is seriously garbage though and you would think after all of the drama that it would just stay dead.

Automata actually made me yearn for Nier’s bizarre genre shifts that for the most part weren’t great but did a good job keeping you on your toes. There wasn’t even a proper text adventure with in-text choices and failstates this time

Yeah, while Automata is technically a much better game, I think I still like Nier more just because of how bonkers it was and also because the story was way better.

A part of me feels it was toned down just a smidge when it comes to total wacky off the wall design when they noticed it was actually picking up major hype. I love Automata and as a game it’s pretty much better than Nier but Nier had much more unbridled vision going on for it. The characters were also a lot stronger in the first one.
