I hate it when multiple games enter my personal headspace at the same time

Right now I've just started Mario Odyssey but am thinking about buying Golf Story, and the whole time I want to play five more minutes of Monolith

Goodness, New Donk City is pretty even at first appearance in the rainstorm. Can't wait to see itin better weather.

I keep going back and forth between Odyssey and Golf Story, though, and Monolith too. We are truly blessed and cursed with so many good games :unsmith:

I’m just sitting here watching Mario dance with the band in his pinstripe suit and fancy fedora, and listening to the sick music

This game 100% justifies the Switch entirely on its own

Oh lord. I've been having a good time in Mario Odyssey and Golf Story, but I just remembered...

I never made it more than 1/4 of the way through Breath of the Wild. Haven't touched it in months, don't know anything about any of the DLC. And I kind of want to start it over, I don't like picking up games mid-playthrough after a long break.

I'm doomed.

There's a hard mode now? :ohdear:

I hate getting to this position where I have a ton of things to do but can't decide which to do and end up doing none of them. Character classes in video games, video games themselves, and more mundane poo poo like work tasks :v:

We're already getting MH World on PC (notably without loot boxes). Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

In the hellish dystopian cyberfuture of 2017 I just can't believe a PC MonHun can be good

Thanks for the encouraging words! Got it on the next try. Complaining on the internet: it works pretty much every time! (That's honestly part of the reason I made the post)

Every damned time for me too, it's like magic

I did some of the postgame, 327 moons total so far. Then I briefly turned on BotW, started a new file, and tried to do a Mario longjump off of the first cliff out of instinct

The merio game has infected me :saddowns:

Any true FPS elitist would note that it's not just about raw framerates, but frame pacing and frame variance, which is why a game that runs at a rock solid 30fps at all times like Horizon Zero Dawn looks and feels much smoother than the whack-rear end PC port of AssCreed at 45fps.

augh yes a slightly bumpy 60fps drives me far more insane than a steady 30 does

Just got a new bigscreen TV, video games look really great on this thing compared to my ancient plasma

Up to about 400 moons in Odyssey and I think I'm about done at this point. Time to move on to trying BotW again, I think

Still not sure if I want to try master mode or not though. Probably not since I never actually beat the game

homeless snail posted:

if you can power your way to 500 moons you should try, you unlock something very nice

yeah maybe, I know what it unlocks and that does sound pretty neat

it's less that i don't want to play odyssey anymore and more that i want to give BotW a shake, but they haven't invented a way for me to play two (attention-requiring) games at once yet :(

It kind of occurred to me earlier that if I were to try playing Super Metroid for the first time at this point in my life I'd probably dislike it (but not hate it) like I do Hollow Knight

That realization kinda weirds me out, I've always felt like I loved that game. I guess younger me was just much more patient

Odyssey is extremely incredibly good but I find I prefer linear games over exploration games so 3D World still holds the crown

Nintendo please port 3D World to Switch tyvm

I feel like I now know less than I did 20 minutes ago

I guess it's a brawler of sorts kind of? With an absurd number of minigames? Anyway it seems interesting, though it's gotta compete with odyssey and botw for mental headspace

yeah for some reason mid-development they reworded the dialog choices and the result is just cole seemingly constantly switching personality for no reason

What was the wording supposed to be? I remember it was TRUTH, DOUBT, LIE when I played

Which I assumed meant "Cole thinks they're telling the truth / Cole thinks there's something awry with the story / Cole thinks they're flat out lying" but I recall it not quite being like that in practice
