I have a friend who's put literal thousands of hours into Civ V and he can't stand Civ VI. Dunno if he's an outlier or not.

it's weird because I remember when Civ V came out everyone called it the worst Civ game of all time, pure trash that ruined the series and that Civ IV was the good one. Now after Civ VI came out, everyone is calling it the worst Civ game of all time, pure trash that ruined the series and that Civ V is the good one

So I finally picked one of these up, seems dumb with the update around the corner but I've played a whopping zero hours handheld. My fiancee has and like it, but she's planning on getting a lite later this year anyway. I grabbed let's go Eevee, oddesey, and smash. The only other games on my radar are Mario kart, fire emblem and stardew valley for the 4th time. Anything else worth getting at the moment?

civ 5 can be worse than civ 4, and civ 6 is just civ 5 with worse diplo AI, a UI that is literally physically injurious, and districts that are barely an addition. so yes, civ 6 is the worst civ game of all time, pure trash that ruined the series. it's worse than beyond earth, and that is an accomplishment, in a way

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

Still dont see a reason to get the handheld unless you are really only interested in a $200 indy machine. Some games are not good handheld.

So Amazon dropped the preorder price for Dragon Quest XI S to $49.94.

If that looks familiar, it's Walmart's unadvertised in-store price for $59.99 MSRP Switch titles that they've been using for the past couple of months. Is this Amazon trying to stay competitive?

Doom 1 and 2 don't even have a Z axis for aiming I believe. Your weapons extend infinitely upward and downward.

There's no player pitch aiming, sure, but this latter part is not even remotely true. Doom has auto aiming that adjusts the pitch and angle to the closest enemy it finds. Shots (both hitscan and projectile) will still miss if they fly above or below enemies.

I just double-checked, if you had already pre-orded they have dropped it for you. No need to cancel and re-buy.
Yeah, I know they don't charge until it releases but Amazon is so weird sometimes.

It's probably obvious but I'm sure there are others like me: if you even remotely liked Hollow Knight, you need to play Dark Souls. It's an excellent game.

I really wish people would stop saying this becuase Hollow Knight is really fun but I have enjoyed no part of Dark Souls. All they really have in common is incidental stuff like atmosphere and 'save points respawn enemies'

Fully voice-acted games are completely wasted on me. I always read ahead and just skip what they say. I don't think I'll ever have the patience to listen to lines I can read and skip. That said I watch cut-scenes in full, since I don't actually want to miss plot.

I find myself listening to the characters that have especially good voice acting and just speed reading everyone else. Occasionally if it’s a pivotal plot moment I’ll listen to everything without skipping.

I just bought more. $95 with the gold coins I had from buying the last ones :v:

I’ll end up using them on 4 out of:

Super Mario maker (used)
Fire emblem
Astral chain
Pokémon
Dragon quest
Link’s Awakening

I don’t think I’m buying all of those games but I’ll easily use 4. I buy all my games digital and many of these will not go on sale any time soon so why not get almost 20% off (with the gold coin)

Nintendo games are expensive lol

They are categorically not as good ports as the XBLA ones or even the version that came with Doom 3 for OG Xbox.

I think they might put the e3 demo out, I'm expecting an Astral chain direct half way into the month with a demo. The game has too much w101 DNA for kamiya not to push it as hard as he can as producer.

I can't think of a Platinum game that didn't honestly. Bayo 1, Metal Gear Rising, Vanquish, Nier Automata all have demos that usually sell me on the game lol

The games they make translate very well to demos
