Kids absolutely adore it.
It will outsell Doom Eternal. Possibly on launch week but on overall sales it will trounce it in the long run.
Brilliant! I hope everyone enjoys it!
Maybe I can get a demo and see what it's about, if that many people like it, it can't be awful

Animal Crossing seems to have a similar style of a fanbase to The Sims in that it's WAYYYYYY bigger than people think and they're a very active community. I had a lot of friends looking forward to it - more so than Doom - and it seems to be reasonably well-received, so I'm happy for them 0

It’s actually a very hard game to demo, because it’s so low-key and meant to be played in short bursts over a long period of time. It’s just a gentle daily routine, chilling in a virtual village and collecting stuff to pay off your outrageous loan*.

It's not for everyone, I've bounced right off it every time I've tried to get into it as I've an aversion to 'forever games'. However I can definitely see the charm in it. It gives the player a lot of creative freedom to express themselves within the game world and like most Nintendo games, the game world and characters have bags of charm and it constantly doles out like surprises for the player.
There's a few games like Animal Crossing that was massive but nobody really talks about, like Roblox and The Escapist. Although I think Animal Crossing gets a lot more coverage than those games.
Also everyone that says rubbish like Sephiroth or SHODAN are videogamings best and scariest villains is talking utter nonsense. Try having Tom Nook after you, a mortgage lender looking to get paid and shaft you every step of the way. Forget fantasy villains, there's Tom Nooks everywhere out there which is a far scarier proposition.

An Post said they are going to start staggering their postal deliveries so to expect delays. I think digital is the only way to go for launch day games. I was planning on RE3 and FF7 from either Argos or Smyths but looks like I'll have to pay an extra 30 quid to get them both digitally

Took me about 8 hours to download Ori and the blind forest for the switch a week ago which was 3.5 GB so I shudder to think how long a massive file like RE3 would take. I might just order from Amazon and get it delivered to Parcel Motel.
Is FF7 a hybrid of turn based and real time combat? I never played original and I really dislike turn based combat so hadn't been following this remake. I've read somewhere recently the remake was essentially a mix of the two combat styles. Don't know how that would work.0 -

Resident Evil 3 is currently unavailable to order from Smyth's. I'll keep an eye on the website, maybe it will become available again when all the click and collect order cancellations are processed. €50 was such a nice price though, it's GBP 50 on Amazon.
Yeah I went to order stuff for work the other day and the date I was given was like May 4th:pac: And that was before the "lockdown".
Oh and I got Resi 3 pre-ordered & delivered for €45

Combat is pure action rpg and the 'classic' option doesn't differ much from it, it's nothing like the original. And I think it's the worst for it, combat just isn't as good as the original.
