I'm sorry you wasted time on either of them. That is time you will never get back. Soon, when you are on your deathbed and thinking back on your life, you will recall the time lost playing those videogames and a single tear shall roll down your cheek before you die horribly

My dream game would be a more skill based Diablo style isometric game. Just something that looked like Diablo but was philosophically a little more dark Souls.

Like instead of just mindlessly clicking you have to proper dodge, block, manage finite items etc.

Journey plays nicely on my iPhone, but the atmosphere is kind of lost on such a small screen..

I mean Journey's whole style is super inspired by Team Ico/Ueda games so you could just play all three of those and that's like 40 of your 100 hours right there. And tbh I think all of them are better than Journey, although Journey is very good for what it is.

Journey is better than the 3 Ueda games.

It's not really fair to compare Journey to any other game, though. It transcends video games and is probably the only one that does so in such a spectacular way.

:agreed:

I love the Ueda games but I don't see the comparison. They're super puzzle intensive, which Journey... isn't. I also think the general atmospheres are quite different.

Outcast’s fine mechanically but a lot of the early levels are straight up dick-kickingly hard. The multiplayer/bot matches should still be good, I would think.

Half the point of owning is switch is repurchasing games you already played to death years ago, playing em for five minutes, and then never touching again.

Ah, yes, the true switch experience. I have so many games on there that I rebought because I thought it would be fun to play them on the go and then just never bothered with.

As someone who had one- there's some decent exclusives and I liked Pikmin 3, but it's really a poorly concieved platform top to bottom that Nintendo needed to make a clean break from with the Switch.

The Wii U was better before they started porting everything to the switch. Now it is a nearly dead system that is limping it's way to the finish line, the crowd watching anxiously to see if it will make it or if it will keel over before breaking the tape.

It's down to 2 games and a couple remakes now.

SM3DW.
Pikmin 3.
WWHD/TPHD.

Is there anything else? A Yoshi or Kirby game maybe? Once they are all ported the system is completely dead. Right now it still has some life.

But seriously, before the switch, there was a lot of good stuff on it. Definitely enough to make it worth having. 10-20 really good exclusives in this day and age is pretty good.

E: Xenoblade X and Kirby Rainbow Curse.

The original translation of Breath of Fire 2 is better than the fan retranslation. The retranslation lacks the charm of the original, is too crass/amercanized, and loses a lot of the emotional weight of certain scenes.

BoF 2 is a poorly balanced mess of a game. you basically can not progress at certain areas without massive amounts of level grinding.

not like BoF 1 at all, that game is perfectly balanced. You get exactly the amount of XP you need to keep the game challenging without grinding.
