After I play Horizon, Nier, and Persona 5, I think I will buy either a Wii U or Switch to play Zelda. Haven't decided yet

I need to be at peak mental acuity so doing it after eating a burrito and a half is basically doomed from the start. Also my phone battery died so I couldn't take screenshots anymore. I also realized what the Challenge reminds me of, it reminds me of Legends of the Hidden Temple, and I can't put that stupid monkey together

I think you can watch gameplay footage and get a sense of how you'll like it. I saw Nioh gameplay and knew it would be rad. I am still excited for Horizon but seeing multiple people cheese encounters by hiding in the grass and whistling over and over has me slightly more skeptical

For Civ VI? Eh. The value of this will be determined by how many dozens of hours you already put into Civ V

Tenzarin posted:Yea but the game and rule set will be newer. Always sticking to the old is what kills you. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, the value of VI's novelty depends on how much you've exhausted V, which is the best-designed 4X of all time. VI is strictly inferior in almost every aspect, and is only worth anything if you just want something "new"

Blackfyre posted:Jumping in with both feet after a few days away - my Wife has picked up Horizon, so my first thoughts were wow this is pretty Witcher pretty then it looked like there were no water caustics, it didn't react to her swimming etc and thats really standing out in my mind and rubbing me the wrong way even though its minimal. The little things add up. That reminds me of when Steve Gaynor of Fullbright streamed Resident Evil 7 and he spent quite a bit of time having fun just pointing out specular effects on the water and the sparks that formed when you hit a melee weapon on a hard surface and the volumetric lighting. And when you see a AAA game that has absolutely none of those things like Mass Effect it really stands out

If Nintendo decided to re-release their Wii U games or have digital backwards compatibility for the Switch I would be jumping on it much faster. But does the gamepad preclude this from being a reality?

Dr Cheeto posted:I dunno when the trend of breaking down a review score into individual components originated but I'm glad it seems to be on its way out. The category I always liked in old reviews was "Reviewer's Tilt" because it implied that all the other categories were Pure Scientific Objectivity and so they had to quarantine stupid Subjective Experience away from the other things

I would assume the hook to a Sleeping Dogs movie... would be Wei Shen hanging a dude literal hook. Or someone getting impaled on swordfish heads. Or a new version of "Yellow Fever"

haveblue posted:The best moment in the GB video is when they get chased around by a skeleton while a laser turret is also shooting at them and eventually, after five minutes of frantic juking around, get the turret to blow up the skeleton. I saw a clip where a dude tried to throw a bomb at an enemy and it kicked it back in Link's face, completely wrecking him

So I think I am going to buy a Wii U. I skipped the Wii entirely so I feel like if there are at least ten essential games for the Wii, it wouldn't be the dumbest decision

You can play Gamecube games on a Wii U? Considering my Nintendo lifetime experience ended about halfway through the N64 generation, getting a Wii U now seems like a no-brainer

Speaking of which, Horizon just teased me with power armor behind a locked door and I don't know why I didn't think it before but this is basically a Fallout game with actual graphics and gameplay

precision posted:I hope Horizon does well and that they figure out that a lot of the reason people are loving it (this guy included) is that they actually held back on the hype and even a lot of basic information. A lot of what makes it so good is the genuine sense of exploration and discovery of the world. Been a real long time since I can say a game surprised me so often and so dramatically. I remember that my expectations dipped pretty low when everyone was posting Brom's scene but that honestly is the worst of it and a major outlier. The storytelling doesn't dominate your time, except maybe at the very beginning, and the rest of it that I've run into so far has actually kept me really interested. It's what gives me hope that the dozen gifs and YouTube clips of Mass Effect Andromeda that we're all ragging on are actually just isolated incidents!
